Why are they demolishing it now?\" Ye Chen's expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, a group of hooligan-like people had already blocked the street entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen driving a Cullinan, they assumed he was the boss of a real estate company and didn't stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, those living here are poor; someone driving a Cullinan must be rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This whole street was a shantytown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the residents were elderly, and although the environment wasn't great, they were all long-time neighbors, so they didn't want to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, some simply lacked the means to buy homes in the City, so they lived cramped here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the residents outside were watching with eyes full of anger and sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, they hadn't agreed to the demolition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the orphanage entrance, more than ten people were arguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man with a big head and gold chain was strutting arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our company already bought this land, so we have the right to handle it. You know we're on a tight schedule; it must be demolished today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, demolition isn't the issue, but can we postpone it a bit? Our children haven't found another shelter yet,\" pleaded Principal Chen, the orphanage's director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man with the gold chain, with a cigarette in his mouth, snorted coldly, \"Just a few days' delay costs us millions. Can you poor bastards afford that kind of loss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen's eyes turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Chen had been with the orphanage since he was young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd poured all his efforts into helping orphans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was being insulted by this bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen couldn't take it anymore, ready to charge forward, but Su Qing held him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen, stay calm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man with the gold chain sneered with a cigarette in his mouth, \"These little bastards are unwanted. Why pretend to be a good person? Don't think I don't know you. Pretend to be charitable, but you've no idea how much you've gotten behind the scenes. Forget any delay; demolition happens today, no exceptions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen, old man, block my path to money and you're asking for death. I suggest you be wise and get lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Chen's face turned livid with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're going too far. These are orphans. How can you have no empathy? Do you believe I won't report you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, go ahead, I'd like to see who would dare intervene. We're acting legally, so what's your basis for reporting us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they did buy this land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just wanted the other party to allow a few extra days to find places for these children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the orphanage was pushed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cloud of dust filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Chen felt his heart shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orphans cried as they saw their home gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing's face also turned grim at this sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there were childhood memories here, but now they're all gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing, unable to bear it any longer, rushed forward angrily, \"This is too much! Who authorized you to demolish the orphanage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man with the gold chain gave Su Qing a mocking look, \"Do you know who I am? Old Qi, this land's ours. I'll demolish it if I want. What can you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing snorted, \"Are your documents complete? Show them to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Su Qing's words, the man with the gold chain's face changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, many of their permits hadn't been fully processed; they were demolishing to meet construction deadlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Qi glared at Su Qing coldly, \"Girl, I'd advise you to mind your own business, or you'll die miserably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing looked at the children crying and felt her heart breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You heartless people, you tore down the children's home. What will they do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who cares? Even their parents don't, so why should you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qing said, \"Your name's Old Qi, right? I won't let this go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Qi sneered, \"What, girl, you're not satisfied? I'd advise you to back off, or else don't blame me for being rude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Old Qi waved his hand, \"Continue demolishing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bulldozers resumed their operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fences fell, and the buildings were pushed down, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children huddled together, crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're a bad person! I'll hit you!\" A child picked up a stone and threw it at Old Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone hit Old Qi's head, causing blood to flow instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the blood on his head, Old Qi's expression changed sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little brat, you're courting death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Qi grabbed a stick and moved to hit the child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child was frightened, standing motionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the stick was about to hit the child, a hand grabbed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop,\" Ye Chen's voice was icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Qi saw someone else interfering and his gaze turned cold, \"Get lost, kid, mind your own business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Qi tried to yank back the stick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his dismay, Ye Chen's grip was like an iron vise; he couldn't reclaim it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said coldly, \"Have you no humanity? No one here signed anything, but you're demolishing anyway, really assuming money lets you do whatever you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen, Old Qi scoffed, \"So what? I do think money lets me do whatever I want. Do you have a problem with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen snorted, \"You said it yourself then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ye Chen applied force, and the stick was snatched away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Ye Chen swung the stick, striking Old Qi on the leg.\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-03T08:12:57.084Z","2026-06-03T08:13:00.904Z",1,"novelbin.me","2ea82e83a1266e0f550bd40855b25dc87ebdef4567bd1d19e65deb7fdc9a12d4","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-879","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-877",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
