"What a coincidence! I never expected to meet you here," Lin Yifei said with a smile.
"It is quite a coincidence," Ye Feng said casually.
"I still don't know your name?" Lin Yifei asked again.
However, the night wind did not respond to her.
Lin Yifei felt a little embarrassed and looked at Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing.
Jiang Lingxuan smiled and said, "His name is Ye Feng. He has always been rather aloof, so please don't mind."
"Oh, I see. I thought Mr. Ye was still angry about what happened before," Lin Yifei said with a smile.
"It's just a small matter, we won't take it to heart," Jiang Lingxuan waved her hand and said.
Afterwards, Lin Yifei chatted and laughed with Jiang Lingxuan, Sun Muqing, and Xi Yao.
Lin Yifei kept subtly inquiring about Ye Feng, but Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing didn't say much, only answering with the few things they could.
More than an hour passed before we knew it.
This birthday party should come to an end.
Just then, a young waiter carrying a tray suddenly strode towards Huang Haotian in the crowd.
Before he even got close, the young waiter shouted, "Huang Haotian, prepare to die!"
The guests at the scene were all startled, and Huang Haotian was so frightened that he turned pale.
The next moment, the young waiter pulled out a fruit knife from somewhere and rushed towards Huang Haotian.
Chaos erupted in the banquet hall, with shouts from men and screams from women filling the air.
The waiter had already rushed in front of Huang Haotian and stabbed him hard in the abdomen with the fruit knife in his hand. The security guard who was closest to Huang Haotian was at least ten meters away and had no time to protect him.
Oh no, oh no, I'm really going to die this time!
A wave of despair washed over Huang Haotian.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the night wind appeared in front of Huang Haotian at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, grabbing the young waiter's right wrist, which was holding a knife.
Click!
With a crisp cracking sound, the young waiter's right hand was snapped off by the night wind.
At the same time, the fruit knife in his hand fell onto the ground covered with pavers.
With his right hand broken, the waiter screamed in agony, his body trembling violently.
Seeing that the guy was no longer able to resist, Ye Feng finally let go of his hand.
"Mayor Huang, are you alright?" Ye Feng asked.
"No...it's nothing..."
Huang Haotian was still in shock and it took him a while to finally come to his senses.
Then Huang Haotian looked at Ye Feng with gratitude and said incoherently, "Thank you so much, Mr. Ye, you saved my life... If it weren't for you, I would have been in big trouble just now!"
"Who is this man? Do you know him?" Ye Feng asked, pointing to the young waiter kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
Huang Haotian looked at him carefully for a few moments, then shook his head and said, "I don't know him, I have no recollection of him."
"Speak! Who are you? Why did you infiltrate the banquet and attack Mayor Huang?" Ye Feng demanded.
The young man raised his head, looked at Huang Haotian with resentment, and said, "I'm going to kill this heartless bastard! He tried to demolish my house, leaving my family homeless. If I don't kill him, who will I kill!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately frowned.
Ye Feng also frequently browses the news online, and he has naturally heard about the various conflicts and even vicious incidents caused by demolition.
Night Wind never expected that he would encounter such a situation.
"Huang Haotian, shouldn't you explain yourself?" Ye Feng said in a deep voice.
Huang Haotian's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
Ye Feng had been referring to him as Mayor Huang, but now he was calling him by his given name. The meaning of this was self-evident!
Huang Haotian hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, please don't misunderstand. Although I have been in charge of the demolition project in the old city of Zhongzhou since last year, it is for the better development of Zhongzhou! Moreover, all the households affected by the demolition will receive compensation!"
"What can your meager compensation do? If my family loses our house, we won't even have a place to live. We'll be homeless. Is this what you call for the better development of Zhongzhou City? Huang Haotian, you're a dog! You'll go to hell sooner or later!" The young man roared repeatedly, like a wild beast howling madly.
Huang Haotian hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, you must believe me, I will definitely give these residents the compensation money, but..."
"But what?" Night Wind asked again.
“It’s just that housing prices have risen too much in recent years. If I distribute the compensation according to the demolition area, it’s definitely not enough to buy a house of the same size. But there’s nothing I can do about it. I can’t just demolish their old houses and give them a new one, can I? If I did that, the development project would have to go on,” Huang Haotian said bitterly.
"Do you have any relevant documents? Let me see them," Ye Feng said.
Without any hesitation, Huang Haotian immediately took out his phone and called his secretary.
Before long, a development plan for the old town of Zhongzhou was delivered to Yefeng.
After reading the plan through, Ye Feng finally understood the crux of the problem.
Huang Haotian wasn't lying; the residents affected by the demolition in the old city area did receive compensation.
Moreover, the compensation for demolition is quite substantial, averaging as much as 8,000 Chinese dollars per square meter.
However, although the demolition compensation was generous, it still couldn't compare to the current housing prices. The average housing price in the city center of Zhongzhou is around 20,000 yuan, while in some suburban areas, the price is around 15,000 to 16,000 yuan.
As a result, even if the demolition compensation is given, those who receive the compensation cannot use the money to buy a house of the same size.
This leaves them with only two options: buy a smaller house or rent.
"This is a problem that needs to be solved... By the way, has the demolition started yet?" Ye Feng asked again.
"Not yet, it's still in the preparation stage," Huang Haotian said.
“Then let’s stop. The demolition cannot proceed until the housing problems of the residents in the old city after the demolition are properly resolved,” Ye Feng said.
"this……"
Huang Haotian's expression was extremely stiff.
"What, do you have a problem with that?" Night Breeze asked calmly.
Huang Haotian immediately stood up obediently, lowered his head, and whispered, "I wouldn't dare, but this project has been in preparation for over a year, and to stop it now would definitely..."
"It will definitely cause considerable financial losses to Zhongzhou City, right? What if tens of thousands of people in the old city come to assassinate you if you insist on carrying out this development project? Huang Haotian, just because I saved you today doesn't mean I'll save you tomorrow. You'd better think it through." Ye Feng said meaningfully.
