The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 285 These unscrupulous merchants!

"Let's get off work and go eat."

After handing over the get off work shift, Lin Chen called out to Wang Zimin, and they prepared to eat.

Wang Zimin laughed and said, "Brother Chen, you treat me every day, how can I accept that? I'll treat you today."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Sure."

The two arrived at Sanwa Food Stall, found a secluded corner, ordered food and a case of beer, and began to drink.

"Brother Chen, don't you have a girlfriend? Why don't you go see her after get off work every day? Why do you always eat with us?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's so boring to be together all the time. Men drink together, it's so much more comfortable. You'll understand when you get married. Marriage is like a walled city. People outside want to get in, and people inside want to get out."

Wang Zimin laughed and said, "I'm not as capable as you, Brother Chen. I'm just an ordinary security guard. Who would respect me?"

Lin Chen picked up a peanut and popped it into his mouth, laughing, "Didn't you say before that your old house was going to be demolished? You must have received a lot of compensation, right? You'll get a new house with compensation, and your circumstances will be better. Plus, you're a decent guy, so why are you worried about not having girls who like you?"

Wang Zimin smiled憨厚ly, his eyes showing a hint of expectation: "I hope so. I don't have any special skills. I just want to find a woman suitable for a life together. As long as she's decent-looking, hardworking, and suitable for a life together, that's fine."

After expressing his hopes, Wang Zimin looked worried again: "Although it's supposed to be a demolition, the compensation hasn't been finalized yet. The developers are asking for very low prices, and we're currently negotiating with them."

"Are there many people?"

Lin Chen casually asked, "Demolition is always a complicated matter. Some people are willing, some are not. The compensation for different people in a certain area may also be different. Those who are capable will get more, and those who are not capable will get less."

Wang Zimin said with a wry smile, "There were quite a lot of people originally, but a few days ago a large group of people suddenly changed their minds and signed the demolition agreement. I don't know if they talked about it privately. There are only about ten households left who haven't reached an agreement yet."

Lin Chen wasn't surprised and laughed, "They probably got what they wanted and naturally retreated. What's the situation for you now?"

Wang Zimin said helplessly, "We asked that the official standards be followed, but they disagreed and tried to lower the price on their own. A couple of days ago, some people were harassed and threatened. It's a bit of a hassle. Sigh, let's not talk about this and have a drink!"

The two chatted and drank casually. Halfway through their drinks, Wang Zimin received a phone call, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Wang Zimin hung up the phone: "Brother Chen, something urgent came up at home, I have to go back first, I can't have drinks with you tonight." Lin Chen noticed that Wang Zimin's expression wasn't good and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Wang Zimin said angrily, "The developer has already brought bulldozers and other equipment to the site. If we don't sign, they will forcibly demolish our houses. These unscrupulous businessmen, even though the government has issued compensation standards, they don't implement them at all and have withheld at least half of the compensation!"

Lin Chen stood up: "Anyway, I have nothing else to do, I'll go with you to take a look."

Forced demolitions are often violent and can easily result in injuries. Since it concerns Wang Zimin's interests, and this young man is a bit stubborn, Lin Chen is worried that something might happen to him.

Knowing Lin Chen's abilities, Wang Zimin said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Chen!"

"Let's go!"

Riding on Wang Zimin's motorcycle, the two returned to Wang Zimin's home.

Wang Zimin's home is in an old residential area. There are no high-rise buildings, and every family has an old house on a homestead. With the advancement of urbanization, such residential areas will be acquired, demolished, and rebuilt, eventually becoming bright and clean apartment buildings.

A large crowd gathered there, splitting into two distinct groups, and began arguing loudly.

Wang Zimin quickly joined the argument, holding a printed official notice and arguing with the negotiators sent by the real estate company.

Lin Chen didn't participate. Instead, he looked towards the back of the crowd, where a dozen or so men were gathered together smoking. They all looked like hooligans with fierce eyes, clearly not good people.

Something bad is likely to happen today.

About ten minutes later, the argument escalated into a scuffle, and then the real estate company's negotiator fell to the ground cleanly, covering his face and yelling, "He's hitting me! Help! Help!"

A dozen or so men in the distance threw their cigarette butts on the ground and rushed towards them.

Lin Chen sighed, stepped forward, and stood in front of the group of people.

The leader glanced at him and snorted coldly. Without saying a word, he swung the steel pipe and brought it down on Lin Chen's head with tremendous force.
