Chapter 794 — There Are Still People in the Building
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Kang Jingming thought it over: what Wei Zhao said made sense. That agreement was really just a formality — it couldn't actually bind anyone to anything! Even if Xiaofen kept quiet, Wei Zhao and Kang Xiaofeng could still talk. A person's mouth belonged to them, and you couldn't very well make everyone sign a non-disclosure agreement, could you?
At that thought, Kang Jingming's mind was put at ease. "Then I'll trust you. Go on, hurry there and back. Is there a TV here? I'll watch for a while!"
"There is, but the sunlight outside is too harsh. Xiaofen, go draw the curtains, then turn on the TV for Kang Jingming!" Wei Zhao said to Xiaofen.
Xiaofen found it a little strange that Wei Zhao would treat Kang Jingming so generously, but she did as she was told.
The television in Xiaofen's home was the oldest sort — a twenty-one-inch curved-screen model, long since obsolete, though it would still do in a pinch.
Kang Jingming was delighted and didn't mind the old set at all. He sat down on the sofa and happily started watching the children's channel.
Wei Zhao led Kang Xiaofeng and Xiaofen downstairs. It was exactly seven fifty-five. The workers on the bulldozers and excavators over there were already in position and would be coming over any moment to tear the building down.
Only at that moment did Kang Xiaofeng suddenly understand Wei Zhao's intent: he meant to leave Kang Jingming inside Xiaofen's home and let the bulldozer demolish it with him in it!
Holy crap, that's brutal! Could Kang Jingming actually get crushed to death?
Casting a somewhat pitying glance back at the three-story building, Kang Xiaofeng followed Wei Zhao and Xiaofen toward where Wei Zhao had parked the car.
The three of them hadn't even reached the car when they heard the bulldozers and excavators start up. Then, with a thunderous roar, the three-story red-brick building was half leveled in an instant.
"Ah!" Xiaofen clapped a hand over her mouth in horror, watching in disbelief as her family's building was knocked down before her eyes!
"Let's find a bank and withdraw the money." Wei Zhao had no interest in whether Kang Jingming lived or died — the world would be better off with that sort of person dead. In any case, it wasn't he who had killed him; let the Kang family go settle accounts with Zhao Qibing.
"But Kang Jingming..." Xiaofen had never harmed anyone in her life. Seeing Kang Jingming crushed right before her eyes, she still couldn't quite accept it. "And my family's house... I have to tell my parents..."
"You've got five hundred thousand now — who cares about the house?" Kang Xiaofeng was more open-minded. "A man like Kang Jingming deserved to be crushed. He only had it coming after hurting you so deeply in the past."
Xiaofen sighed. Since Kang Xiaofeng had put it that way, she could only nod. Otherwise, if she said too much, Kang Xiaofeng might mistakenly think she still had feelings for Kang Jingming, and that would be bad.
Wei Zhao drove Xiaofen and Kang Xiaofeng around until they found a bank, where the money was withdrawn without a hitch. It turned out to be an anonymous wealth-management savings card. Who knew what Kang Jingming had been thinking, handing over the money so trustingly?
They opened a new account under Xiaofen's name, and the five hundred thousand truly landed in Xiaofen's pocket. Then Wei Zhao drove them back to the shantytown.
By this time, the residents of the three-story red-brick building in the shantytown were in an uproar. They hadn't expected that after what happened at Tang Zhi's home last time, Li Cihua would still dare to carry out a forced demolition! And this time it wasn't even a single-story house — it was the three-story red-brick building!
Standing beside Li Cihua, Jin Gubang, and Zhong Fabai was a pack of burly men dressed in black, all wearing sunglasses, looking every bit like triads. The residents of the three-story red-brick building were unhappy, but none dared step forward to make trouble.
