CHAPTER 58: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 58 I DECIDED

"Damn it, today is the last day! If you don’t move, I’ll kill you!"

The tattooed man roared with a fierce face, "What the hell, Mr. Wu? The Mr. Wu you mentioned fell down by himself, what’s that got to do with us? Asking us to pay? Dream on!"

"Why are you being unreasonable!"

"Exactly, how could you say he fell down by himself? You clearly dug a pit and forced him to check it out."

"Don’t move, doesn’t anyone care anymore?"

The villagers shouted, and the scene became chaotic immediately.

The tattooed man’s face darkened upon seeing this, "It looks like you don’t understand how tough I can be if you don’t get a lesson."

As he said this, he stepped back two steps and shouted at the excavator behind him, "Get them! Whoever dares to stop us, crush them!"

"Rumble rumble!"

The excavator raised its bucket, scaring the villagers to step back quickly.

At this moment, a figure stood in front of the excavator, "If you have the guts, kill me!"

It was Wu Caijun.

"Mr. Wu, are you okay?"

The villagers recognized Wu Caijun at once and were overjoyed.

Wu Caijun said to the villagers, "I met a Little Divine Doctor who treated my illness, but our compensation hasn’t been processed yet, so we can’t let them proceed."

"Yes, give us our compensation first!"

"And promise to help us relocate the Land God Temple!"

The tattooed man sneered, sizing up Wu Caijun, "Damn it, the pus sores didn’t kill you, then today I will."

He gave the excavator driver a meaningful look.

The driver’s face darkened, and he suddenly pushed the bucket forward to shove Wu Caijun.

The excavator’s bucket was so heavy that if it hit, it could cripple Wu Caijun, if not kill him.

The villagers and Wu Caijun were both terrified and lost their composure, finding it hard to believe these people would really resort to violence.

As the bucket was about to hit Wu Caijun, a figure quickly rushed over and pushed Wu Caijun aside.

The bucket missed its target.

Wu Caijun broke out in a cold sweat, glanced at where he had stood moments before, and was shocked and delighted, "Is it... Little Divine Doctor?"

He quickly stood up, "Little Divine Doctor, why are you here?"

Ye Guichen had no good feeling towards these forced demolition people. He glanced at the tattooed man, his brows furrowed.

"Oh, just passing by." Ye Guichen replied evasively, not wanting to talk about the Two-headed Snake.

Wu Caijun wasn’t dumb. Seeing Ye Guichen didn’t want to say more, he didn’t press. "Little Divine Doctor, thank you so much. You’ve saved my life twice, I don’t even know how to thank you."

Ye Guichen smiled, "What exactly is going on here?"

Wu Caijun didn’t dare to slack and quickly recounted the events.

Ye Guichen finally understood. It turned out that the demolition had been settled, with the agreement that the final payment would be disbursed before demolition, but a few days ago, the developers suddenly started demolition without any notice.

Of course, the villagers were unwilling, leading to the altercation.

The developers secretly used an excavator at night when the villagers were asleep to demolish part of the village.

Originally, the demolition itself wasn’t the issue, but there was a small Land God Temple at the front of the village, and when the excavator dug into it, a small passage that could fit one person was discovered.

The passage was deep and mysterious, and the developers were too scared to go down, so they forced Wu Caijun to go.

Wu Caijun saw nothing but winding narrow tunnels and got covered in sores that night after returning.

Many villagers were terrified, believing the developers and Wu Caijun had angered the Earth Spirit, so they guarded the place day and night, not letting the developers continue demolition.

The developers didn’t care and didn’t want any more delays, as each day of delay cost significant money.

The higher-ups had given a direct order today to demolish the place no matter what.

Ye Guichen had a rough guess in mind after hearing Wu Caijun’s explanation.

He suspected there was a Two-headed Snake hidden below the passage.

"Little Divine Doctor, unless the Land God Temple is relocated and our compensation paid, we won’t let them proceed," Wu Caijun vowed.

Ye Guichen nodded.

He hadn’t intended to meddle, but now that he was interested in what was beneath the Land God Temple, he naturally had to get involved.

"I understand."

Ye Guichen looked up and said to the tattooed man, "The villagers’ conditions are reasonable. Go back and tell your boss to agree, and you can proceed. Otherwise, just leave."

"Damn, who do you think you are?" The tattooed man laughed and cursed, "Acting like a big shot without knowing our boss. If you don’t want to die, get lost!"

"Right, just a kid trying to play hero. Know your place!"

"If you know what’s good for you, leave now. Don’t delay our work!"

The tattooed man’s group shouted noisily.

The tattooed man then pointed at Wu Caijun, threatening, "I know where your wife and kids live. Better be careful walking at night!"

Wu Caijun’s face turned pale at those words.

He glanced at the tattooed man warily and backed off two steps.

The tattooed man grew even more arrogant, pointing at the once aggressive villagers, "All of you are useless trash. Each one dared ask our boss for compensation? Damn it, I’m telling you, today, anyone who stops us will not just lose money, but their lives too!"

"You, you’re just bandits!" Someone yelled, unable to contain their anger but ultimately intimidated.

"Ugh!" Wu Caijun stomped his foot heavily, sighed deeply, and said to Ye Guichen, "Little Divine Doctor, don’t get involved. Their power is too great for us to fight."

Ye Guichen squinted, "What’s so powerful about their boss?"

"More than powerful. In Yun City, there aren’t many who dare to provoke them," Wu Caijun said, shaking his head, "They handle most of Yun City’s demolitions. Many resent but dare not speak out."

"Yeah, we’re relatively okay. They’ve only deducted half our compensation. Some haven’t received any!" An old man chimed in, crying, "But money aside, what if we anger the Earth Spirit?"

"Earth Spirit this, Earth Spirit that. How can there be so many gods in this world?" The tattooed man waved his hand dismissively, "Enough talk, move aside now!"

The excavator roared back to life.

Ye Guichen stood firm, blocking the excavator, "Since I’m here today, I’ll handle this."

"Oh, a young hothead?" The tattooed man laughed, "Not afraid to die, huh?"

Ye Guichen smiled, "Feel free to try."

"Damn, get him!" The tattooed man wouldn’t consider any further. Anyone associated with these villagers couldn’t be some important figure.
