"How much are they going to compensate?"
"According to them, each square meter equates to more than four thousand yuan."
"That low?"
"Yeah." Uncle Yang nodded heavily and said unhappily, "The surrounding house prices have already exceeded six or seven thousand yuan. Four thousand yuan won't even be enough to buy a house."
"It is indeed low," Wu Tian nodded in agreement since even he would not accept such a small compensation.
Presumably, none of the neighbors here would agree to such low compensation.
If they continued to live in this place, they would have to endure living in a dirty and messy environment. If they choose to demolish the houses, on the other hand, they would even up with no places to live. Who on earth would agree to that?
After a moment of thought, Wu Tian tried asking, "Did you try negotiating with the property developers?"
"I did, but they are extremely aggressive and would not give in to our negotiations."
"Is that so?"
"They have even set a date for the demolition of our houses. If we don't move out by the deadline, they will come back to force us out."
"Who dares to use force in this day and age…"
*Crash!*
Before Wu Tian could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard the gate to the courtyard being smashed open by someone.
All four of their faces sank as they hurriedly ran outside.
When they ran out of the room, they were immediately dumbstruck. The gate of the courtyard was broken open, and more than ten workers wearing construction helmets had rushed into the courtyard.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that these people were not migrant workers, but rather migrant workers who were being impersonated by these ruffians.
"What are you guys doing?" Uncle Yang took a step forward and shouted at the men wearing construction helmets.
"We are in charge of the demolition," The leader, a bearded man, said with a menacing look in his eyes. "Today is the deadline, so sign the contract and move out of here this instant."
After declaring these words, he had his men take out the contract and throw it over.
"The compensation is too low, we will not move," Uncle Yang raised his head and gave a tough reply.
They had previously discussed with their neighbors that they would not move for such a small amount of compensation.
"Old man, you're getting ahead of yourself, aren't you?" The bearded man rolled up his sleeves and cursed anxiously, "Did you think I won't dare to burn your house down?"
"I don't believe it!"
"Wow, it seems that your old bones are still pretty tough!"
"Since the compensation for the demolition is less than six thousand, we will not move."
"Since you don't want to move, then we'll help you move." After the bearded man said this, he waved his hand and gave an order to his subordinates, "Rush in and throw everything inside out."
"Yes, sir!"
Those hoodlums wearing the construction helmets received the order and rushed forward like a swarm of bees, ready to attack.
Uncle Yang — scared out of his wits — hurriedly retreated to the side while protecting his daughter. His face had long turned ashen, and his legs were trembling slightly.
Just now, he had been stubbornly arguing with that group of people. If those people really were to fight, however, how could ordinary commoners not be afraid?
"I want to see who dares."
Seeing that those people were about to make a move, Wu Tian stood in front of them and yelled at the top of his lungs, "All of you stop immediately!"
"Wow!"
The bearded man scanned Wu Tian with a few glances and sneered, "A newborn calf that isn't afraid of a tiger. You brat, you haven't even fully matured, yet you dare to stand up and act cool?"
"With me here today, none of you should even think of moving anything, unless you manage to get past me." Wu Tian clenched his fists as a never before seen hostility burst out from his body.
This time, he really fumed into pure anger.
He didn't expect the demolition team to be so arrogant. Under broad daylight, they actually dared to throw away someone else's belongings. What was the difference between them and bandits?
Yang Lin was so scared that her body was trembling non-stop and her heart was thumping wildly. However, when she saw Wu Tian stand out, the fear lingering in her heart immediately dissipated.
At this moment, Wu Tian wore a manly, courageuous presence around him, just like the super heroes he saw on TV. How cool!
"I advise you to get out of here."
The bearded man waved his hand impatiently and threatened, "Foolish brat, it will be easier for me to deal with you than to step on ants."
"Like I said, as long as I'm here, none of you should even think about moving the things here."
"Brat, do you really want to die?"
"I'm not scared."
"God damn it!" The bearded man's patience snapped at that moment as he gave an order to his subordinates behind him, "Go forth and skin this brat alive."
"Yes, boss!"
More than ten hoodlums, after receiving the order, rushed towards Wu Tian.
"Xiao Tian, run!" Old Yang saw how bad the situation had escalated and quickly warned Wu Tian.
He did not want Wu Tian to be beaten up by these wicked people because of his family's matters. If that happened, he would feel extremely guilty for the rest of his life.
Yang Lin, who was hiding behind him, also urged him in a low voice, "Brother Tian, Brother Tian, don't worry about us. Hurry up and run!"
Yang Lin had never been as worried as she was now — her heart was pounding uncontrollably as her face turned bleach pale.
However, Wu Tian chose to not run away. He instead turned around and asked Azure Dragon, "Are you ready?"
"Boss, I'm always ready." Azure Dragon clenched his fists and looked at the hoodlums as if he was looking at a bunch of dead corpses.
His face suddenly turned stiff and cold, as if he had been trapped frozen in an iceberg. Even if the sky were to collapse right now, he would not bat an eye.
"Very good." Wu Tian smiled with satisfaction and instructed, "Let's rush forward together and beat those bastards to a pulp."
"Boss, be careful," Azure Dragon said before dashing into the sea of hoodlums.
Wu Tian, on the other hand, picked up a wooden stick nearby and rushed into the crowd, mercilessly smashing towards those hoodlums.
Soon, a bloody, chaotic battle broke out in the courtyard.
Since the hoodlums were just normal plebians, they naturally would not have much experience in combat. As such, their attack power greatly reduced when facing martial artists like Wu Tian and Azure Dragon.
Contrary to the hoodlums, Azure Dragon and Wu Tian were both trained professionally. With their ruthlessness and fighting prowess, they were able to push them back without much trouble.
Yang Lin and her father had been worried that Wu Tian would be end up dead at the end of this battle.
However, when they saw Wu Tian's professional fighting style and his vicious actions, both father and daughter were stunned.
Is this still that weak Wu Tian they had always known?
From their memories of him, Wu Tian had always been a weak boy ever since he was young and was often bullied by other kids.
How did Wu Tian suddenly become so fierce? It was as if he was reborn as an experienced fighter and underwent some sort of change.
The pair of father and daughter stood petrified before the unexpected scene taking place.
Especially Yang Lin, seeing how brave and fierce Elder Brother Tian became, her eyes gawked wide open, and her heart started pounding even faster.
In just a few minutes, all the hoodlums had been absolutely obliterated in a one-sided battle.
Having orginally been arrogant, the bearded man turned nervous when he saw just how powerful his opponent had been.
To be honest, in all his years on the streets, he had never seen such asuch vicious people.
"What!"
Seeing that his opponents were getting fiercer by the second in battle, the bearded man swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and staggered backward in fear.
Having seen first-hand just how fierce Wu Tian and Azure Dragon were, the group of hoodlums was so terrified to the point where they kept retreating.
Seeing their ferocity, one of the hoodlums suddenly turned to Yang Lin and had a thought of using her as a hostage.
