Chapter 140: Sand Tyrant

"Who let you dump sand and gravel here? Did you get our permission? Don't you know you're polluting the environment?" the leading man said with a fierce look.

"Our construction is approved. Do you have any issues with that?" Zhao Anran walked forward.

"Approved? Whose approval did you get? Let me tell you, this ten-mile radius is Brother Datou's territory. Aside from the sand from his sandpit and the cement from his cement plant, nothing is allowed to be hauled into the city," a dark, thin man barked.

"You are being unreasonable." Zhao Anran was indignant and wanted to argue with them: "We are rebuilding Xinglinju, and this has been officially approved."

"What kind of bullshit official? Let me tell you, in Fengling, I am the official." The leading man pointed at himself and said: "Take a good look at my face from now on. Do you know Brother Datou?"

"You..." Zhao Anran wanted to say more, but Chen Yu stopped her.

"Your head is indeed quite large." Chen Yu shielded Zhao Anran behind him and said: "I'll handle this."

"Mm, okay." Zhao Anran nodded. With Chen Yu blocking in front of her, she felt very safe.

"Kid, if you want to build a house, remember to come to me for cement and sand." Datou shoved a business card into Chen Yu's hand: "The price is fair, and I don't cheat the young or the old."

"I definitely will. I didn't know this area was covered by Brother Datou before, I'll be careful in the future. But look, these few trucks of cement and sand have already been brought over, so just let us use them. There's a large demand later on, and we'll source all of that from you," Chen Yu said with a smile.

In fact, Chen Yu knew clearly that these grandsons were sand tyrants. Although there was a strict crackdown, there were always a few who slipped through the net. He just wanted to finish building Xinglinju calmly and didn't want to get into a conflict with these grandsons.

But this grandson didn't know how to appreciate kindness. Chen Yu spoke to him calmly, yet he didn't take Chen Yu seriously at all.

"I gave you face, didn't I?" Datou lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then blew the smoke into Chen Yu's face: "Didn't you understand what I said? Aside from my sand, don't even think about using a single grain of sand from anywhere else."

"You are being a bit unreasonable now." Chen Yu smiled and said: "Listen, I don't want to cause trouble; I just want to finish building this place quickly."

"I'll use these few trucks of sand, and all the rest will be sourced from you. If you agree, we can all live in peace. If you don't agree..."

"What if we don't agree? You're pretty arrogant, kid. Haven't you asked around to see who our Brother Datou is?" A lackey beside Datou shoved Chen Yu and grabbed a steel pipe, smashing it fiercely against a nearby vehicle.

With a crash, the windshield of the sand-hauling tricycle was shattered by his steel pipe. The driver on the vehicle dared not speak out of anger and silently got off to hide to the side.

"Kid, you need to get this straight: this is my territory. Don't even dream of getting sand from elsewhere. Let me tell you, starting tomorrow, the price of your sand and cement will go up tenfold. Whoever dares to deliver sand to you, I'll kill him." Datou stubbed out his cigarette and threw it on the ground.

"You are being very impolite." Chen Yu frowned.

"Polite? Who do you think you are? Why should we be polite to you?" The dark, thin man stepped forward again and shouted arrogantly.

Chen Yu suddenly slapped out. *Slap! * The dark, thin man's body tilted heavily to one side, and then he slammed into the tricycle's fuel tank with a thud.

His head made a *poof* sound like a rotten watermelon, and fresh blood immediately began to flow down.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to strike back? Brothers, get him..." Datou was furious, grabbed the steel pipe in his hand, and smashed it toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu backhanded the steel pipe from him and knocked Datou to the ground with one strike.

Then he waved his right hand, and the steel pipe in his hand smashed heavily into the faces of the first few men. *Poof, poof, poof! * Several men fell to the ground in response, most of their teeth knocked out.

Since he had started fighting, he certainly wouldn't be polite. Chen Yu rushed into the crowd, grabbed the steel pipe, and smashed it blindly at these people.

*Bang, bang, bang! * Several men fell to the ground. Anyone touched by the steel pipe in Chen Yu's hand either had their hands or legs broken or was knocked unconscious by a single blow.

After one round, none of the dozen or so people could stand, and the steel pipe in Chen Yu's hand had bent.

He tossed the steel pipe aside and walked to Datou's side.

"Asshole, let me tell you, my cousin knows big shots. If you dare to touch me again, I'll kill you." Datou shouted while backing away.

*Thud... * Chen Yu stepped down, planting his foot firmly on the guy's head.

*Bang... * The guy's threats immediately turned into screams. He shrieked loudly: "It hurts, it hurts, go easy."

"What kind of work is this, being a sand tyrant? You're really bringing honor to your parents." Chen Yu sneered: "I'll give you a chance. Starting tomorrow, with our place as the center, all sand and cement will be provided by you for free."

"Don't even think about it. Are you crazy? How could I provide it for free?" Datou said angrily: "You'd better let me go. My cousin knows the big shots in Fengling. If you dare to touch me, my cousin definitely won't let you off."

"Who is your cousin?" Chen Yu squatted down and slapped him across the face.

"He is Wang Hu, and his boss is Du Feng. You bastard, one phone call from me and he'll bring dozens of men over to hack you to death," Datou shouted angrily.

"Tell him to bring people over, right now." Chen Yu smiled and stomped down hard. *Crack! * The guy screamed as one of his arms broke.

"Just you wait, my cousin will be here in a moment, and he will hack you to death." The guy pulled out his phone with his other hand and dialed the number.

"Cousin, I was beaten up here at Laojie. Yes, right there. Bring people over immediately. The other party has training; he's a ruthless guy." Wang Hu gritted his teeth and roared into the phone.

"Just you wait, my cousin is bringing people over now. You're going to die a miserable death, kid." After finishing the call, Datou's mood was much better.

"Don't worry, when he gets here, I'll beat him up too." Chen Yu smiled, not taking it to heart at all.

He had already beaten Wang Hu once before, back when that guy caused trouble during the contracting of the thirty thousand mu of medicinal fields. Chen Yu hadn't gone easy on him then, and since they had met again, Chen Yu didn't mind teaching him another lesson to see if he would learn his place in the future.

"Brother Xiaoyu, let's call the police." Zhao Anran hesitated for a moment.

"Don't. The police will at most lock them up for a few days, and they'll just commit the same mistakes again after they get out. I'll educate them properly today so they know where they went wrong, and they won't do it again in the future," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Alright then." Zhao Anran nodded and stood to the side, waiting patiently.

"Boss, these people are the local sand tyrants; we can't afford to offend them," several cement and sand drivers said cautiously: "How about we just forget it? Let's just haul it back."
