1307 Words
Only now did Su Ming realize that the perseverance of three generations had been utterly worthless! He was now in the eye of the storm, being interviewed by reporters, arrested by police, and even verbally abused online! He knew it was time to make a decision! "Even the system wants me to give up!" "Give up on these ungrateful wretches?" "If that's the case, then demolish it!" "Grandpa, Father, our years of perseverance haven't been worth it!" Su Ming murmured. At this moment, he had made up his mind! Just then, the police walked towards Su Ming! "Dude, you're pretty reckless!" "The demolition compensation has already been paid, do what you're supposed to do, what are you doing blocking the way?!" "Trying to raise the price without even a reason, calling yourself a 'dirty thing'!" "It's the 21st century, even the reincarnation of Buddha needs approval, what's a 'dirty thing'?!" The lead policeman, Zhang Damin, mocked. Su Ming glanced at him; he didn't want to explain anymore. "Demolition is fine!" "But I have one condition!" "Have the big boss implementing the demolition project write me a guarantee!" "Once the demolition begins, and after the demolition, whatever happens, it's none of my business!" "Also, swear you won't make me do anything for any reason!" "Once you write the guarantee, I'll leave immediately!" "Without looking back!" Su Ming said calmly. Upon hearing this, Zhang Damin pondered for a moment! They came to resolve the trouble, and since there was a peaceful way to resolve it, they would naturally choose a peaceful solution! "Okay!" Zhang Damin nodded to Su Ming. Then he walked towards the contractor! "Call your big boss over!" "Write a guarantee." "This matter will be resolved!" Zhang Damin said. Upon hearing this, the contractor immediately took out his phone, his face full of joy! Finally, the demolition could begin? Just a guarantee! Guaranteeing that if anything happens during the demolition, he won't cause trouble for him? Won't make him do anything?! What the hell?! Trouble? Make him do anything ?! Who does he think he is? "Does he really think there's something dirty down there?!" The contractor sneered inwardly. Soon after he made the call, a Mercedes arrived at the construction site. Jiang Haosheng got out of the Mercedes. He looked at Su Ming with a cold smile. A guarantee? Of course, he could have one! As long as it didn't affect his demolition! As for that dirty thing down there, firstly, it doesn't even exist! Even if it did, he'd built his empire from scratch, and many people had died at his hands. Did he think he was afraid of that?! He quickly wrote a guarantee on an A4 sheet of paper! As Su Ming had said, he guaranteed that any problems that arose after the demolition would be Su Ming's responsibility! Furthermore, he wouldn't need Su Ming's help in the future! Having done all this, he picked up the paper. "Alright, here's the guarantee you wanted!" Jiang Haosheng said coldly. "Have them put their fingerprints on it too!" Su Ming said calmly, pointing at the contractor and the workers. Upon hearing this, Jiang Haosheng and the others were stunned! However, in order to expedite the demolition, they all pressed their fingerprints onto the paper! After doing all this, they handed the paper to Su Ming! Su Ming nodded upon seeing this! He folded the guarantee and put it in his inner pocket! Jiang Haosheng and everyone present felt speechless upon seeing Su Ming's cautious action! Did he really take them seriously?! After doing all this, Su Ming spoke. "I'll go in and get some things and come out right away." "I won't delay your demolition!" Su Ming said, then went into the house. Jiang Haosheng and the demolition team were waiting, feeling happy. This annoying guy was finally leaving! The police, seeing that the matter had been resolved peacefully, also nodded and prepared to leave. However, Su Ming, who had gone inside, came out carrying clothes and a box! "Alright, I've got my things!" "You can start the demolition now!" Su Ming said calmly. However, when everyone's gaze fell upon the clothes and boxes Su Ming had brought out, their expressions changed. The clothes weren't ordinary; they were Taoist robes! The boxes were rather ancient, engraved with Taoist seals! Among them, the ancient box even bore carvings of the Demon-Subduing Ancestor and the True Martial Emperor! These things caused everyone's eyelids to twitch! What was this guy's background? Could he really be a Taoist priest?! Was something evil truly sealed underground?! "Demolish!" " What are you standing there for?!" Su Ming, holding the boxes and clothes, gestured for the demolition team to proceed! However, the demolition workers were also uneasy! This guy had just stopped the demolition, claiming there was something evil underground, which they naturally didn't believe! Even when Su Ming made them write guarantees and put their fingerprints on them, promising that if anything happened during the demolition, it wouldn't be their problem and they wouldn't be allowed to intervene, they took it as a joke! However, after the appearance of the Taoist robes and the box engraved with the Demon-Subduing Ancestor and the True Martial Emperor... They started to panic! Jiang Haosheng frowned when he saw the demolition team workers hesitate. Then, he whispered a few words to the fierce-looking contractor. The contractor nodded repeatedly. "What are you afraid of? A little brat, pretending to be a ghost!" "Boss Jiang said that if we demolish this place, everyone will get an extra ten thousand yuan in wages!" "If you're scared, get out of here right now!" The foreman said viciously. Then, he drove the excavator, his eyes filled with greed. When the demolition workers heard Boss Jiang speak, greed overcame their fear! Su Ming shook his head. This matter was none of his concern. If these people regretted it, he could still get a reward from the system. However, it was none of his business! Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Haosheng spoke up with a cold face. "Officer, this guy is obstructing the demolition and wasting so much time." "My demolition team has so many machines; we can make tens of thousands of yuan a day operating them." "I'm going to sue him now. Shouldn't we arrest him and take him to the police station?" Jiang Haosheng sneered. He looked at Su Ming with icy eyes. First, he obstructed the demolition, and now he's pretending to be a ghost with a Taoist robe, almost delaying the project again! Even a clay figure has some temper! Let alone Jiang Haosheng! The leading policeman, hearing this, looked grave. "Mr. Jiang, why make such a fuss?" "Isn't the matter already resolved?" Although Su Ming had obstructed the demolition, he wasn't old; if he were prosecuted, he'd definitely be arrested! The policeman tried to smooth things over for Su Ming. "Hmph!" "Resolved?!" "He made me lose so much money!" "You think I'd let him go?!" Jiang Haosheng said coldly. "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future!" the leading policeman said. "Enough nonsense!" "Why should I leave any room for this trash!" Jiang Haosheng roared in fury. However, at that moment, Su Ming proactively extended his hand to the policeman. "I'll go with you!" "Wait, if that thing underground comes out, this place won't be safe." "I'll just go to the police station for a bit." Su Ming said calmly. He then glanced at Jiang Haosheng, his eyes filled with mockery. The leading policeman sighed helplessly. They immediately took Su Ming into the police car! After the police car left, the excavator roared and dug directly into the house! Crash! Tiles fell, and the house that Su Ming's three generations had guarded collapsed with a deafening roar.
