護花近衛 - 第576章 破相了 - 清風書屋

The excavator driver and the bulldozer driver were also somewhat stunned, and for the moment did not dare to keep working. After all, they had only been hired by Zhong Fabai. When it came to a forced demolition, Zhong Fabai and Young Master Bing were there to bear the brunt of it, but if someone's life were lost, they would not be able to escape involvement either.

Zhong Fabai was dumbfounded as well. He had not expected Tang Zhi to be so reckless as to charge into the house. Was the girl out of her mind?

Zhao Qibing, Jin Gubang and the bodyguard had come to watch the fun, but they had only just arrived when they heard Mother Tang cry out "Someone's been killed!" — and got quite a fright themselves. When Zhao Qibing saw Tang Zhi, her face smashed and disfigured, lying in a pool of blood, he frowned and cursed inwardly. Such a pretty young girl, and it was all over? Even if she lived, she would not be beautiful anymore. What a pity.

"Let's go! We'll come back in a few days!" Seeing that someone had been injured, Zhao Qibing knew there was no point in talking further today. Still, the goal of making an example of one to warn the rest had been achieved. After today's scene, the next time they came to discuss the demolition, these stubborn tenants of the shantytown would not dare to demand the moon and the stars again.

"Don't you go! Somebody help me stop them! Who knows how Yun'er is doing — they can't leave, they're murderers!" Seeing that Zhao Qibing and his men were about to flee, Mother Tang panicked and began to scream.

But Zhao Qibing and the others climbed onto the bulldozer and simply drove it forward. The residents of the shantytown wanted to block them, but not one dared step up. After all, these people dared to force a demolition and smash people — they would not shrink from running over one or two of them.

Seeing someone itching to make a move, Zhao Qibing shouted, "Whoever isn't afraid to die, come on up! Never mind these stubborn dogs — anyone who comes at us gets run over!"

Zhao Qibing's show of force made even those who had been spoiling for a fight think better of it. Everyone fears death, after all, and with a man like Zhao Qibing, who did not care how many lives he took, who would dare provoke him?

And so Zhao Qibing and his party quickly left the shantytown, leaving only Mother Tang clutching Tang Zhi and weeping. The house had been smashed flat; there was no getting inside, and she had no idea whether her old Tang was all right.

Someone had already called the police and an ambulance, but the fire engine arrived first. The firefighters broke open the half-demolished Tang house and rescued Tang Jucheng.

Seeing that Tang Jucheng had only had both legs crushed, Mother Tang breathed a sigh of relief. When Tang Jucheng was carried out he could still speak, though his face was contorted with pain and cold sweat poured from him. Mother Tang had no time to comfort him; she held her daughter and waited for the ambulance.

Presently the ambulance and police cars arrived. Mother Tang hurriedly carried her daughter into an ambulance, and Tang Jucheng was lifted into another. The two ambulances sped wailing toward the hospital.

After Zhao Qibing and his men had departed, Zhao Qibing gave the bulldozer driver and the excavator driver a sum of money and told them to get out of town. The two were frightened too; they took the money and ran. Zhao Qibing was not afraid — whatever happened, he could pin it all on the two drivers.

"Uncle Zhu, follow those two, arrange an accident, and do away with them." After the two drivers had gone, Zhao Qibing said quietly to the middle-aged bodyguard beside him.

"Yes, Young Master Bing." The middle-aged man called Uncle Zhu said no more, turned, and set off in the direction the two drivers had gone.
