682: Chapter 677 I Gave You a Chance

Nearly fifty men dressed in black suits, wearing sunglasses and white gloves, filed out of the vehicles.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized and utterly silent.

Without a word of nonsense, they quickly formed a human wall in front of Chen Guangke's team.

These men were completely different from the hoodlums under Wu Heng's command.

Every one of them stood tall, their gazes sharp, exuding an aura that only comes from being forged in iron and blood.

The leading captain walked up to Chen Guangke and bowed slightly.

"Mr. Chen, we are from Tiandun Security."

"Chairman Shen instructed us to ensure the absolute safety of the project launch."

Chen Guangke nodded.

This was Chairman Shen's contingency plan.

Tiandun Security was the top security company in the country, with most members being retired special forces soldiers who served only the rich and powerful.

Wu Heng's rabble looked like a group of kindergarteners in front of them.

Wu Heng was also stunned by this sudden turn of events.

His thugs stopped in their tracks, intimidated by the opposing aura.

"Tiandun Security?"

Wu Heng snapped back to reality, a trace of disdain appearing on his face.

"Does having more people make you great?"

"Brothers, what the hell are you afraid of! This is Qi City!"

"Charge!"

However, after he shouted, no one moved behind him.

Those thugs weren't fools.

They could sense that the group in black suits were truly prepared to kill.

It wasn't worth risking their lives against these desperados for a few thousand yuan in pay.

The atmosphere instantly fell into a stalemate.

Just then.

A rolls-royce phantom drove slowly up behind the fleet of Audis.

The rear door opened.

Shen Yan stepped out of the car.

He was wearing a perfectly tailored custom suit that day, without a tie, with the top button undone, appearing composed yet detached.

He didn't even glance at Wu Heng.

He simply walked to the large, rusty iron gate, extended his hand, and gently brushed off the dust.

As if admiring a piece of art that belonged to him.

This complete disregard made Wu Heng feel a humiliation even more intense than at the auction.

His face flushed the color of pig liver.

"You are that Shen guy?"

Wu Heng's voice was slightly distorted by anger.

Shen Yan finally turned his head, his gaze falling calmly upon him.

"I'll give you ten minutes."

"Get your men and cars gone."

"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.

Wu Heng reacted as if he had heard the greatest joke.

"Bear the consequences? Hahahaha!"

"In Qi City, you are the first person who dared to say that to me, Wu Heng!"

"I'm telling you, you won't be getting through this gate today!"

He turned and looked at his uncle, Wu Weiguo, who held a deputy position in the Municipal Construction Department and had just arrived at the scene.

Wu Weiguo, sticking out his beer belly, walked over with an air of officialdom.

"What's going on?"

He glanced at Shen Yan, then at the imposing security team, and frowned slightly.

"Uncle, it's this brat!"

Wu Heng immediately complained.

"Not only did he steal my land, but he also brought people here to cause trouble!"

Wu Weiguo cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, and walked up to Shen Yan.

"Young man, which unit are you from?"

"Don't be too impulsive in your actions."

"The situation with this land is very complicated; it's not something an outsider like you can handle."

"Listen to my advice, give up the land, and leave Qi City now while you still can."

He adopted a condescending posture, as if acting for Shen Yan's own good.

Shen Yan looked at him, a faint, almost imperceptible curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't speak, but simply took out his phone and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello, Secretary Li?"

"I am Shen Yan."

On the other end of the line, the sound of a chair being moved seemed to come through.

"Chairman Shen! Hello, hello!"

"You've arrived in Qi City? Why didn't you let me know in advance so I could arrange reception!"

Secretary Li was the top official in Qi City.

His voice was enthusiastic, bordering on fawning.

Shen Yan's voice remained flat.

"No need for reception."

"I'm just encountering a small problem at my construction site."

"Deputy Director Wu Weiguo of the Municipal Construction Department is currently advising me to leave Qi City."

The other end of the line instantly fell silent.

A full five seconds passed.

Secretary Li's voice, laced with suppressed anger, rang out again.

"Chairman Shen, please wait a moment."

"I will handle this immediately!"

Shen Yan hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.

The entire process took less than half a minute.

Wu Weiguo and Wu Heng had both clearly heard the content of the call.

Their faces changed instantly.

Especially Wu Weiguo, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

Secretary Li? Which Secretary Li?

In Qi City, there was only one Secretary Li!

This young man could actually call the city's top leader directly?

And judging by the tone on the other end, the person sounded respectful toward him?

Wu Weiguo's brain buzzed, going completely blank.

He realized that he seemed to have kicked an iron plate that he absolutely could not afford to offend.

Before he could react.

His phone began ringing frantically.

The caller ID displayed the three characters he least wanted to see—Secretary Li.

Wu Weiguo's hand trembled as he pressed the answer button.

"Wu! Wei! Guo!"

On the other end of the line, Secretary Li's furious roar sounded like a beast's bellow.

"You, right now, immediately, get over to the Municipal Party Committee!"

"The project is about to launch, and you dare to cause trouble at the investor's construction site?"

"I think you don't want this Deputy Director position anymore!"

Beep, beep, beep...

The call was abruptly disconnected.

Wu Weiguo stood frozen on the spot, holding his phone, his face ashen.

It was over.

He knew that this time, he was completely finished.

Wu Heng was also dumbfounded.

Although he was foolish, he understood that his biggest backer had just fallen.

He looked at Shen Yan, and for the first time, fear appeared in his eyes.

What was this person's background?

Shen Yan paid them no further attention.

He simply said lightly to the captain of Tiandun Security.

"Clear the area."

"Yes, Chairman Shen."

The captain waved his hand.

The fifty men in black bodyguards instantly rushed into the crowd of thugs like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

There were no screams.

Only the muffled sounds of dislocated bones and bodies hitting the ground.

In less than three minutes.

All hundred-plus thugs were lying on the ground, immobilized.

The Tiandun Security members were extremely measured in their attacks.

They only injured, but did not cripple.

But it was enough to keep these people bedridden for a year or half a year.

Next, they walked toward the construction vehicles.

Using only their hands, they pushed the heavy trucks, each weighing over ten tons, one by one, to the side of the road.

The entire scene was filled with the aesthetics of violence.

Chen Guangke and the team behind him watched, dumbfounded.

Wu Heng, however, watched with his liver and gallbladder splitting from terror.

His last reliance had been shattered so easily, like dust being swept away.

Ten minutes later.

The area in front of the gate was empty again.

Only Wu Heng remained, standing alone, looking like a plucked rooster.

Shen Yan walked up to him.

"I gave you a chance."
