67: Chapter 67 Tacit Cooperation

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan knew something was wrong.

"What exactly is going on?!"

Bi Ming didn't beat around the bush and told him everything about the dispute between them and those nail householdss.

Actually, it was quite simple.

Ever since their company took over that plot of land, they had been focused on driving those nail householdss out.

They resorted to all sorts of methods to get rid of them.

When those holdouts refused to take the money and move out quietly, they paid thugs from the underworld to intimidate them.

They thought this would work, but to their surprise, after that series of tactics, the holdouts became even more determined not to move.

After listening, Shen Yan's face was covered in dark lines.

"You mean to say that not only did you fail to scare them, but you also made them even more hostile toward you?"

Bi Ming chuckled and asked, "Well? Thinking of backing out?"

Shen Yan took a deep breath.

Bi Ming's tone was so punchable that he could hardly stand it anymore.

"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. I'm hanging up now."

Seeing him hang up, Chen Guangke hurriedly asked, "So, what do we do next?"

Shen Yan closed his eyes and thought carefully before replying, "We need to get close to those nail householdss first. If we don't, we won't be able to carry out our plan."

Chen Guangke swallowed hard and gestured.

"It's not like you didn't see the tools they were holding. With things that big, what if we go there and get our heads bashed in?"

Shen Yan blinked and smiled.

Shen Yan's smile gave Chen Guangke goosebumps all over.

"Wait... why are you staring at me? What exactly are you planning?!"

...

Evening, Wang Family Village.

"Big Brother, do you think they'll come looking for us again?"

"They'll definitely be back. Anyway, as soon as they show up, we just grab our tools and drive them away."

"If they dare to come, I'll dare to bash them to death with something!"

Inside the house, three men were drinking and chatting around a table.

Among them, the one with a full head of white hair was called 'Big Brother' by the other two.

"Don't say such things. If you actually hurt someone, you'll all end up in the police station. Let's just stick to scaring them."

The young man with straight bangs nodded.

"Xiao Guang, did you hear that? Big Brother wants us to be careful and not actually beat the guy to death."

Xiao Guang was a bald man who was quite simple-minded; he did whatever Big Brother told him to do.

"Alright, we'll just scare them and nothing else."

"But how much longer do we have to keep this up?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of something being knocked over outside.

Big Brother's face darkened, and he signaled the other two to follow him out to check.

"Hahaha, what a coincidence. We meet again."

Outside, Shen Yan and Chen Guangke were standing by the door, looking at the three of them with smiles on their faces.

As soon as he saw them, Xiao Guang immediately grabbed a wooden club nearby.

"You actually dare to come back? I'll beat you to death!"

Shen Yan and Chen Guangke dodged with panicked expressions:

"We didn't come here to convince you to move out! We have something to talk to you about!"

How could Big Brother and the others possibly believe them?

"Stop bullshitting! We've seen eight or ten people like you already. You're all that bastard Bi's people!"

While shouting, Xiao Guang swung the wooden club violently at Chen Guangke.

"Aaaaah!!"

A scream rang out.

Chen Guangke fell to the ground.

"Old Chen!"

Shen Yan ran over in a panic and asked the prone Chen Guangke, "Old Chen, are you okay? You're not going to die, are you?"

Chen Guangke closed his eyes and passed out with a thud.

"Waaaah! We just came to discuss things with you, how could you beat my friend to death?!"

While wailing, Shen Yan took out his phone to call the police.

Nearby, Xiao Guang looked at Big Brother and his companion, at a loss.

"I... I didn't expect to actually hit him... I just wanted to scare him."

Big Brother closed and opened his eyes, then said to Xiao Guang and Xiao Liu, "Enough, let's get him to the hospital first."

Shen Yan's eyes darted around, and he turned to refuse their help.

"I don't believe a word you say! Are you trying to take this chance to finish my friend off?!"

"I'm telling you, retribution will come for this! I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon. Just you wait to go to jail!"

After saying this, he hoisted Chen Guangke onto his back and ran off swiftly and neatly.

"Hey... this..."

Xiao Guang turned to Big Brother, his face full of panic.

"Big Brother, what should we do? He said he called the police..."

Big Brother sighed and wiped his face.

"What else can we do? Let's follow them first and see if he's actually hurt."

Xiao Guang grunted in response and hurriedly gave chase.

Half an hour later, Big Brother, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Guang were all invited to the police station.

"Officer, you heard them; they admitted to laying hands on my friend."

The police officer nodded and asked the three men in front of him, "Why did you attack them?"

Big Brother answered voluntarily, "We didn't intend to attack them; we just wanted to scare them."

The officer frowned and slammed his hand on the desk.

"Is what you call 'scaring' bashing a bloody hole in someone's head?!"

Big Brother remained silent.

The way things had developed was indeed beyond their expectations.

Beside him, Shen Yan narrowed his eyes.

"Officer, how about this: let the three of them go to the hospital with me first to see how my friend is doing. If it's nothing serious, then we can just let this matter go."

If the person wasn't seriously injured, the matter could indeed be handled leniently.

After thinking for a moment, the officer nodded.

"Alright, let's do as you suggested. Go check on the person first. If something has actually happened to him, then this matter will be very serious."

"Sigh, Big Brother, you're not young anymore. Why are you causing trouble like this all the time?"

Big Brother lowered his head and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for adding to your workload."

The officer shook his head.

"Why are you apologizing to me? You should be apologizing to the victim. Alright, go check on him quickly."

"If nothing is wrong and he's willing to forgive you, then you just need to come back here and write a self-criticism letter."

Big Brother and his two younger brothers nodded and thanked him, "Alright, sorry for the trouble."

Walking out of the police station, Shen Yan walked ahead without saying a word.
