boom!

Immediately afterwards, drones danced in the darkness, forming the striking words "Li Shanshan, marry me!"

The performance, even without any performers, was a delight to watch.

Everyone present was deeply moved, and the women were especially touched to tears.

If someone proposed to them like that, they would definitely accept with joy.

Li Shanshan, however, remained calm, although she had to admit that the proposal setup was very high-end and suited her taste perfectly.

If she hadn't met Qin Yang, she might have agreed.

But meeting Qin Yang gave her hope of entering another world.

No matter how elaborate the proposal ceremony is, she won't be moved.

Guo Rugui looked at everyone's reactions, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

He felt a little uneasy when he saw Li Shanshan's calm gaze, but he comforted himself, thinking that Li Shanshan must be shocked!

"Shanshan, marry me!"

Guo Rugui walked up to Li Shanshan, knelt on one knee, and took out a diamond ring that had been custom-made long ago from his bosom. It sparkled in the darkness under the light, drawing envy from the women around him.

Everyone looked at Li Shanshan, waiting for her reaction.

In their view, Li Shanshan would definitely say yes after such a grand proposal ceremony.

However, Li Shanshan did not reach out to put on the diamond ring, but instead pushed it back.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Guo, you're a good person, but we're really not a good match."

Li Shanshan revealed a universal rejection template.

For a moment, the arena fell silent.

Guo Rugui, kneeling on one knee, lowered his head, his face ugly, even somewhat ferocious.

"She still won't agree to this? Li Shanshan's standards are way too high!"

"Do you think it's possible that Li Shanshan has taken a liking to Qin Yang?"

"You know what, it's actually quite possible. Just look at how enthusiastic Li Shanshan was towards Qin Yang. But what does Qin Yang have? What can compare to Young Master Guo?"

"Maybe he just likes that face?"

People around them began to whisper among themselves.

Although the sound was very low, it was still clearly audible in the quiet environment.

Guo Rugui, with his head down, looked even more ferocious.

Several minutes passed before Guo Rugui finally looked up, forced a smile, and said, "Shanshan, I didn't think it through!"

Then, feigning nonchalance, he said, "Everyone, you can all go now! We'll get together again next time!"

The crowd then dispersed, leaving only Guo Rugui behind.

"Qin Yang! I want you dead!"

Guo Rugui roared ferociously.

...

Qin Yang and Zhu Ping came out together. Li Shanshan wanted to follow, but Qin Yang refused.

Just as the two were about to leave, Zhu Ping received a phone call, looking very nervous.

"Let me go back with you!"

Qin Yang heard everything that was said on the phone.

Zhu Ping's family lives in the suburbs of Haicheng.

From the phone call just now, Qin Yang understood that the suburban demolition was still ongoing, and the price hadn't been agreed upon yet. The construction team had actually sent people to forcibly demolish the property, which led to the conflict.

A few minutes later, the two arrived in the suburbs.

In a dilapidated shantytown, excavators were all in place, and a group of thugs were confronting the residents.

"You bunch of troublemakers, you're asking for it! We offered you 100,000 yuan in demolition compensation and you still won't take it!"

The gang leader scolded.

Zhu Ping's father, Zhu Hua, who was leading the group, angrily said, "One hundred thousand? Where do you get demolition compensation like that? And you're not even going to arrange a place for us to live? Where are we going to live after the demolition is over?"

This construction team is absolutely ruthless!

A single bite costs 100,000 yuan—that's outrageously shady!

"You can stay wherever you want! Are you going to move aside or not? If you don't, don't blame us for using force!"

The gang leader, however, lacked patience.

Although the above-mentioned principle is to avoid conflict if possible, he also knows that the demolition compensation offered by this company is too stingy, so how could there not be conflict?

Since his task was simply to allow the demolition team to enter smoothly, he figured he might as well take action directly and quickly subdue these residents.

Once it's demolished, it will be easier for the company to negotiate terms.

"Let me tell you, it's impossible! We won't move until we've agreed on the demolition compensation!"

Zhu Hua stood at the front, leading the crowd to block them: "Don't be afraid, everyone. If they really dare to make a move, it's illegal! I've already called the police!"

"Heh! Illegal?"

The thug leader sneered.

For these white gloves, this is all they do.

So what if it's illegal?

As long as no one dies, we'll pay you and send a few of our brothers in to take the blame.

"You're all asking for death!"

Upon hearing Zhu Hua say that the police had been called, the gang leader became anxious and roared, "Men, take these people down!"

Once the die is cast, everything becomes easier to discuss.

Just as the thugs were about to swarm forward, a voice rang out: "Stop!"

The two words were like thunder from the heavens, captivating and awe-inspiring!

The thugs stopped instantly.

After a few seconds, the thug turned around and said angrily, "Who's talking?"

The visitors were naturally Qin Yang and Zhu Ping.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Zhu Ping rushed over, protected Zhu Hua, and stood in front of everyone.

Qin Yang also slowly walked over.

"Oh, so it's just two young lads who've arrived!"

"Here's a piece of advice for you: either leave on your own, or take these people with you; otherwise, I'll take care of you all!"

The gang leader coldly rebuked.

Qin Yang said indifferently, "You're from the Heavenly Tiger Gang, aren't you?"

The Tianhu Gang all have a symbol: a tiger head image on the cuff of their clothes.
