Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

Lu Chengzhou took the opportunity to kick her foot out and close the door.

I had just locked the door when I heard banging on it.

The loud noise woke up the bodyguards from the Lin family downstairs.

After five or six burly men came upstairs with professional weapons and took the mayor and his entourage into custody, they started saying things like "we can talk things over."

Lin Chen was woken up from his lazy sleep, and he got up impatiently.

"What's going on outside? Is there a fight going on?"

"Someone is coming in to search our house."

Lu Chengzhou calmly said, "I think we should call the police."

Lin Chen: "Wait!"

He rubbed his fist.

"They have to pay the price for waking me up before they call the police."

Lin Chen pushed open the door and went out.

Then, the door was closed.

Even without seeing anything, Lu Chengzhou could imagine the warm greetings they would receive next.

……

After half an hour.

The town mayor and his entourage, their faces bruised and swollen, sat in Lu Chengzhou's suite.

This time, their attitude was noticeably much more amiable.

"Big White is a bad child, you really shouldn't have taken her in."

The town mayor spoke incoherently.

The others echoed this sentiment.

“You don’t know! She’s a jinx. Since she came, there hasn’t been a moment of peace in the town.”

"She was unlucky; she brought death to her parents."

"She also likes to steal and hit people!"

"It would be better for us to get rid of this kind of person as soon as possible."

Big White, hiding in the closet, clenched his fists as he listened to their words.

Is she a bad child?

Is she a jinx?

Did she bring death to her parents?

She stole something?!

That's pure slander!

She never stole anything; she only took back what belonged to her.

She has never hit anyone; those she hit were all jerks who tried to bully and ridicule her.

However, she had given these explanations many times, and no one believed her even once.

When she heard the mayor and others say that they were going to send her to a place that used electroshock therapy to correct juvenile bad habits, she couldn't bear it any longer and came out of the closet.

"You can go if you want! I'd rather die than go!"

In an instant, everyone in the room turned their attention to Big White.

Da Bai walked up to the town mayor, sneered, and said, "You just want my family's sandalwood, do you think I don't know that?"

The town mayor was taken aback.

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes.

However, at his age, he's already capable of lying through his teeth.

"Nonsense, what sandalwood? I don't know anything about it."

"I'm only doing this for your own good!"

"Your parents are gone, so that's the best place for you."

"That place can provide you with the best learning environment and help you become a good person."

Da Bai smirked and said, "Stop talking nonsense. That sandalwood is worth at least tens of millions. Aren't you envious? Once I leave, you'll probably be taking all that wood away in no time!"

"You're supposed to be a town mayor, yet you're thinking of getting something for nothing. Aren't you ashamed?"

Da Bai's words were, to put it mildly, extremely unpleasant.

The mayor gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't know anything about sandalwood..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up when he heard about sandalwood.

In fact, he had long heard his father say that there was a batch of century-old sandalwood in Baihe Town, which was of excellent quality.

If you were to use them to make furniture, they would be absolutely top-notch.

The town mayor also told him that there was indeed still sandalwood in Baihe Town, but it could not be retrieved for the time being, and hoped that the Lin family would be patient and wait.

Looking back now...

The owner of this sandalwood is not the town mayor?

Good guy.

What a show!

"Little sister, are you selling your sandalwood?"

Lin Chen turned his gaze to Big White.

Big White nodded and shrugged.

"Sell it! Why wouldn't I sell it? It all depends on whether you can afford the price."

"Take me to see it. If it's in good condition, I'll pay a high price!"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the town mayor immediately became anxious.

"no!"

He broke free from the bodyguard's restraints and stood up.

"That sandalwood belongs to Baihe Town, not her family's. She's just a seventeen-year-old minor and has no right to sell it!"

"Pooh!"

Big White glared at him without any politeness.

"That sandalwood has been kept in my attic for over a hundred years. How did it become something from your Baihe Town?"

The town mayor stamped his feet in frustration: "You, you, you..."

Lin Chen waved his hand: "Mayor, don't bully a little kid."

Lu Chengzhou looked at Da Bai: "You should have something to prove the ownership of those pieces of wood, right?"

"Of course."

Big White looked very calm.

"I have all the account books from my ancestors' business of buying and selling sandalwood, which can prove the ownership of every piece of wood!"

Lin Chen clapped his hands and laughed, "Great, excellent! Let's go take a look."

He was determined to get this batch of sandalwood.

As long as Da Bai can prove that it belongs to her family, then Lin will naturally only do business with Da Bai.

I watched helplessly as they left.

The men around the mayor wore sinister expressions.

“No, Mayor, we can’t just stand by and watch her monopolize all that wood.”

"Yes, that's worth tens of millions!"

“Her parents are already dead. Without the help from our town, she would have died long ago.”

"That wood should belong to us!"

Encouraged by them, the mayor slapped his thigh.

They accepted their statement.

"Let's go take a look. We absolutely can't let her sell those good pieces of wood!"

255. Although he's a shrewd businessman, he's quite handsome.

When the town mayor and his entourage arrived near Da Bai's house, they were stopped by the Lin family's bodyguards.

The town mayor felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at these massive figures, some nearly two meters tall.

The hoe and sickle he held in his hands looked like children's toys, not presentable enough to show off.

"You are all temporarily barred from entering."

The bodyguard looked down at the town mayor.

"Don't delay our young master Lin from discussing business."

The town mayor roared angrily, "This is our Baihe Town! You outsiders..."

The bodyguard glared at him.

Whether someone is from out of town or not is none of his business.

All he knew was his duty as a bodyguard.

If these country bumpkins dare to make a move, then don't blame the outsiders for being impolite.
