With a sharp crack, Li Zhi's stiff neck snapped to one side.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
Although the refined man wasn't very strong, the blow to his face only stung a little.
However, it is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
"You dare hit me?"
"Hmph, isn't it because you asked for it? I'll do it now, and you'll have to suffer the consequences."
"You son of a bitch, I'll get you..."
Li Zhi had never suffered such humiliation in his life, and he pounced on her as if he had gone mad.
A muffled thud.
The smug, refined man was punched in the nose, his glasses flying off.
In an instant, the refined man felt a lump in his throat, and two streams of heat flowed out.
He touched it casually, and his face twitched involuntarily; he had been hit and was bleeding.
But before he could react, Li Zhi kicked him, knocking him over.
"You son of a bitch, are you all blind? Get him! Can't you see I'm getting beaten up?"
The refined-looking man fell to the ground, shouting in a panic. Only then did the two burly men snap out of their daze and pounce on him.
Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and raised his arms, assuming a fighting stance.
However, his skills were merely for show; he hadn't undergone the professional training that Su Wu had.
Needless to say, Li Zhi was knocked to the ground in no time.
However, at this moment, he remained silent, his eyes fixed on the group as if trying to memorize them.
The refined man also stood up at this moment, and looking at Li Zhi's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
This guy is a real tough nut to crack.
He'd seen that look before; they were all ruthless people.
As the saying goes, a barking dog doesn't bite.
To deal with this kind of person, either end it once and for all, or don't provoke them at all.
He glanced at Li Zhi's hands and feet, and anger welled up inside him, fueling his malice.
Just as he was about to speak, a loud banging sound came from the door.
"Brother Li Zhi, are you there? Has someone come looking for you?"
"Brother, open the door if you're here! Those bastards are no good!"
The ensuing commotion startled the refined man, who immediately gestured for him to stop.
"Damn it, let's go see what's going on."
Upon hearing this, a burly man walked to the door and opened it while cursing.
"Stop wailing! Get lost if you have nothing better to do, and don't fucking..."
He cursed and opened the door a crack, but the door was pulled open forcefully the next second.
The doorway was now filled with people, each with an unfriendly expression and carrying sticks.
The blond-haired guy standing at the front immediately spotted Li Zhi lying in the living room, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Damn it, these bastards were definitely up to no good, brothers, let's go!"
His shouts interrupted the burly man's cursing, and he swung a stick at him without warning.
"You dare hit my brother? I'll beat you to a pulp!"
The blond-haired guy cursed and kicked the stunned burly man inside.
Whoosh.
A dozen or so people quickly filled the small living room to the brim.
The young men had already helped Li Zhi, who had been knocked to the ground, up and taken him to the back.
They knew that this was someone from their big boss, Brother Wu.
Now that people are being beaten right under their noses, they dare not be negligent.
Upon seeing such a scene, the refined man shuddered and quickly waved his hand to explain.
"Everyone, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, let's talk it out."
"Screw you, beat them up!"
The blond-haired boy, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, pointed his wooden stick forward and gave the order.
The tiny living room was completely blocked off, leaving nowhere to hide, and the outcome was predictable.
Before long, the three of them were lying on the ground, exhausted.
Only then did the blond-haired boy look at Li Zhi with concern.
"Dude, are you alright?"
Li Zhi tugged at the corner of his broken mouth and gave a bright smile. "It's nothing, just a superficial wound."
"That's good. Just tell me what you're planning to do," the blond-haired guy said righteously.
Li Zhi was quite moved. Looking at the refined man who was already crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, he rolled his eyes.
He laughed and said, "They are using illegal means to coerce us, the residents whose homes are being demolished. We should call the police."
"This...the person's been beaten up like this, shouldn't we call the police?"
"What's the big deal? We were acting in self-defense, what's there to be afraid of!"
"In that case, let's just throw them all out, since none of them are any good anyway."
In everyone's eyes, Li Zhi was a cultured man, and everyone trusted him greatly.
Before long, all the staff members responsible for negotiations in the entire building were beaten out.
These guys are all burly and strong; they don't look like good people at all.
In an instant, the entire community was filled with residents, many of whom had injuries on their faces.
Clearly, some of them had the same experience as Li Zhi.
Li Zhi shouted loudly, "Everyone, these guys have bad intentions. They beat people up when they can't reach an agreement. This is bullying behavior. I've already called the police. Everyone, please be witnesses."
As soon as he finished speaking, many neighbors who shared his feelings came out to shout.
"Well done, good report. We should all unite so that no one will dare to bully us."
“I heard that Section Chief Liu’s family received 450,000 yuan in compensation. Why do we only get 300,000 yuan? They’re just bullying us ordinary people!”
"That's right, they're bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong. They resort to violence when negotiations fail. Everyone, please don't approach them alone, or you might end up losing your lives."
"If we all unite, I refuse to believe they'll dare to actually kill or commit arson! As long as we're all on the same side, they won't dare to bully us..."
The shouts grew louder and louder, and more and more people joined in. Soon, people from nearby streets also came to watch the excitement.
Li Zhi somehow got hold of a megaphone and, under the protection of Xiao Huangmao and his gang, began to promote it vigorously.
He was truly enraged and had forgotten Su Wu's advice to keep a low profile.
As a student council member, he was naturally eloquent and had a broad perspective, so he spoke fluently and logically.
Before long, he had stirred up the emotions of the surrounding residents, who were now united in their hatred of the enemy.
Everyone now knows that a single apartment can receive at least 400,000 yuan in compensation; who wouldn't be excited?
Many of those who had already signed contracts worth 300,000 yuan went berserk and rushed toward the surrounded negotiating staff, demanding that they terminate their contracts.
If they refuse, then another round of loving education is inevitable.
It took about an hour of commotion before the chaotic situation was brought under control.
Numerous staff members from the South District rushed over and finally managed to bring out the people from Zhenxing Group who had come to negotiate.
Li Zhi was displeased and shouted through a megaphone, "They attacked people, why should we let them leave!"
"Yes, they threatened us and even hit us. They said we weren't leaving until they gave us an explanation!"
The dense crowd immediately surrounded everyone again, shouting and becoming agitated once more.
A man who looked like a leader looked at Li Zhi with a stern face.
"Young comrade, don't incite trouble; it won't do you any good. If you have any problems, you can come with me and report them to us."
