Chapter 583 — Tooth for Tooth
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wu Chengtian had been in Songshan City as well, only the Wu family patriarch had just been discharged from the hospital. He would not return until he had finished dealing with family matters.
Even so, it lent no small luster to the completion ceremony.
An Liwen, Su Taizao, the scions of the Five Minor Families, and the scion of the Sun family — all of them commanded vast social networks, and so the people they brought along were numerous indeed. In the great hall of the Qibing Hotel, the scene was already bustling beyond measure.
Zhao Qibing stood upon the stage, raising his wine glass high, utterly pleased with the spectacle before him. These people represented the various powers of Songshan City and even the province — which meant that his future endeavors here were bound to flourish magnificently.
"I thank you all for coming to witness the completion ceremony of the Qibing Building, the office tower of Qibing Real Estate. Let us raise our glasses and celebrate this joyous moment together!" Zhao Qibing lifted his glass and continued, "Once we have drunk this cup, we shall go and unveil the Qibing Building together!"
The guests likewise raised their glasses and drank along with Zhao Qibing. But at that very moment, a tremendous crash suddenly rang out, startling everyone present! With the crash came a trembling of the earth and a shaking of the mountains!
Someone shouted — who it was, no one could tell: "It's collapsing! The tower outside is collapsing!"
Zhao Qibing looked outside in the direction of the shout, and there was the Qibing Building — just completed, not yet unveiled — across from the hotel, crashing down thunderously amid peal after peal of explosions. Around the tower were a great many bulldozers and excavators, which not only aided the blasts in pushing down the structures surrounding the building, but also smashed the parking lot and the landscaped gardens nearby into utter chaos!
In the blink of an eye, a towering skyscraper was razed to the ground.
Zhao Qibing's eyes went wide, as though he had seen a ghost. But he quickly came to his senses — someone was demolishing his tower!
Zhao Qibing paid the guests no more heed, rushing out of the restaurant in a few quick strides, though Uncle Zhu followed close at his side, never leaving him for an instant.
Wei Zhao now stood between the tower and the restaurant, watching coldly as the Qibing Building was torn down to level ground.
You demolished Tang Zhi's house — so I demolish your tower.
Fatty Lai had put up buildings for many years, but this was the first time he had ever torn down a tower that had just been completed. Seeing a towering skyscraper brought down in an instant, he could not begin to describe the sheer delight in his heart! Such a spectacular feat — only the boss could have pulled it off!
"Who are you people? What do you think you're doing?" Zhao Qibing's eyes fairly spat fire. He had no idea where these people had come from, and they had demolished his just-completed tower the moment they arrived! How could Zhao Qibing not be hysterical?
"You're Zhao Qibing?" Wei Zhao asked, looking at him coldly.
"That's right." Zhao Qibing drew a deep breath and recovered his composure. Since these people knew he was Zhao Qibing, they surely knew his background as well! And yet they still dared to come and demolish his tower — what on earth did that mean?
Though at this moment Zhao Qibing wanted nothing more than to hack Wei Zhao to pieces — for it was Wei Zhao who had made a public fool of him! A completion ceremony turned into a demolition ceremony — Zhao Qibing had lost face beyond measure, a humiliation comparable to the deepest disgrace!
"I'm Tang Zhi's boyfriend." Wei Zhao nodded and said faintly, "You demolished her house, but you still owe me a pair of legs. And I will disfigure you as well."
