Chapter 56 One Man, Destroys a City! (Part 2)
He peeked in and listened carefully.
He discovered there was an argument.
"There are some things you shouldn\'t meddle in, so don\'t stick your hand where it doesn\'t belong."
"But you must come up with a solution!"
"Must? Do I owe them anything?"
"They work for you, you are responsible for them, it\'s your duty."
"Oh, is that so... Well, listen up. We are the bosses, and they are just a bunch of maggots who came running for benefits from me. Got it? If they get hurt or disabled, I\'m willing to give some Silver, it\'s my benevolence, but if I don\'t, it\'s my right."
"You..."
"In the end, isn\'t it true that they are bullying us business people? How many die when a disaster event breaks out? Why don\'t I see these wretched poor going to ask the monsters for money?"
"...Are you fucking speaking human language?!"
"In any case, there\'s no money. Li, show the guest out."
Then, Chen Yu heard more arguing inside the conference room, followed by a middle-aged man in a police uniform angrily kicking the door open and storming out with curses.
Chen Yu, with an expressionless face, scratched his chin and entered the conference room.
As soon as he entered, he attracted the attention of everyone inside.
"Who are you?" a man nearby frowned, "What do you want?"
"I\'m here for my father\'s compensation," Chen Yu spoke up.
"Fuck! It\'s this shitty issue again!" The man with a crew cut sitting at the head of the table exploded in rage, slamming his hand on the table: "You damn citizens are so fucking annoying, bleating on and on about that petty cash. Fuck, a bunch of paupers pissing blood."
"I\'m the general manager, talk to me," said the man with gold-rimmed glasses sitting near the man with the crew cut, pushing up his glasses and asking, "What\'s your dad\'s name? Is he dead?"
Chen Yu looked straight at the man with the crew cut and announced his father\'s name.
"Ah, that old man." The man with glasses nodded, picked up a pen, and wrote a few lines in a notebook. He tore a page out and handed it to Chen Yu: "Three hundred thousand in total. Take this and go get the money downstairs."
Taking the note, Chen Yu glanced at it indifferently, and then, in front of everyone in the meeting room, tore it up bit by bit and tossed it aside: "It\'s one million three hundred thousand."
The man with glasses\' face changed as he slowly stood up: "Are you here to cause trouble?"
Chen Yu: "I\'m here for the money."
"Fuck you. No!" The man with the crew cut sprang to his feet like a beast ready to attack, shouting at Chen Yu: "Not a penny! Ask for more and I\'ll chop up your whole family and feed them to dogs! Get out!"
"Huff—"
"Huff—"
Suppressing the barely noticeable, flickering flames that surrounded him, Chen Yu walked forward, grabbed a man\'s collar, dragged him aside with the man looking surprised, and then sat down directly opposite the man with the crew cut.
Then, expressionless, he said: "Murder has a price, debts must be paid, it\'s common sense. Your company had an accident, injuring and killing so many, and you don\'t admit your wrongs while maintaining a high and mighty attitude? What? Are we, the common people, your father? You\'re so spoiled?"
As his words fell, everyone was stunned.
The man with the crew cut sat frozen for a moment, then also slowly rose to his feet, pointing at himself in disbelief: "You... you\'re insulting me?"
"I\'m not just insulting you, I\'m also cursing the two parents who shat you out. What kind of animals could raise something like you, a capitalist that\'s neither human nor humane?"
"..."
Inside the conference room, everyone was as still as statues.
The man with glasses was so shocked that he patted his own face, trying to discern if this was a dream or reality...
A commoner?
A lowlife?
Daring to insult them to their faces?
Had the world outside changed...?
"Crack—crack—"
gripping one corner of the conference table, Chen Yu suddenly kicked hard, flipping the entire table over!
"Clatter—"
Cups and documents scattered all over the floor.
"A bunch of uneducated mongrels, my name is Chen Yu." Standing up, Chen Yu left with indifference: "I\'m just downstairs, hanging banners in the square."
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes...
After Chen Yu left, the meeting room remained deathly quiet.
People exchanged looks, feeling as if they had seen a ghost.
"..."
"..."
"I\'ve truly fucking broadened my horizons today." The buzz-cut man\'s eyes bulged in disbelief as he touched his head. "Are these lowlifes... planning a rebellion?"
The man with glasses had a somber expression and whispered, "Send someone out. Keep a close watch on that Chen Yu in the square. Don\'t let him get away. Find an opportunity to take him out tonight."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"No way." With his head tilted and eyes unfocused, the buzz-cut man seemed almost unhinged. "Taking him out directly, that won\'t do."
"Boss, you say."
"Smash his bones, hang him at the city gate..." the buzz-cut man slowly sat down, scratching his stubble contemplatively while he continued seriously, "Show him to the public for a day. By then, his family will definitely be crying and pissing themselves. Wait another night, then hang all his family members with the kid. I want to make sure they\'re still alive before they\'re hung! Oh...
right, does he have any women in his family?"
"Boss... doing this... wouldn\'t it draw too much attention?"
"I asked you a question, you just answer it. Does his family have any women?"
"...Yes. There\'s a young one, probably his sister." The man with glasses nodded.
"Send her to my stables." The buzz-cut man squinted, trying hard to visualize the scene. "And get me a pot, a thin one, fill it with oil..."
"Understood."
...
"Thud!"
Releasing his grip, he threw the tattered bag on the ground.
Chen Yu crouched down, took out a banner from the bag, and stood at the forefront of the rights defenders, unfurling the banner.
[Return My Blood and Sweat Money!]
In the square, the sudden appearance of this young figure surprised everyone.
After a burst of whispers, an elderly gentleman with graying temples staggered forward, glanced at Chen Yu\'s banner, then looked at Chen Yu and nervously said, "Young man, what are you doing here?"
"Defending rights."
"You must be joking! What are you doing in this mess at such a young age!" the old man became anxious.
Heads popped up, and many other elderly people also crowded around, chirping and chattering.
The central theme was to persuade Chen Yu to leave quickly.
Chen Yu ignored them, simply wearing a smile, standing his ground.
"Whose kid is this?"
"Does anyone know who his family is?"
"I don\'t recognize him..."
"He looks a bit familiar..."
Just as everyone was at a loss, an armed police officer hurried over.
The elders were delighted and cleared a path for him.
"What are you doing? Go home." The officer was about thirty-something, sweat glistening on his forehead as he tried to take Chen Yu away.

"Don\'t touch me." Chen Yu stood his ground like a mountain, unmoved no matter how the officer pulled.
"This isn\'t something for young people to do. Don\'t throw yourself into the thick of it!" the officer scolded angrily.
"I\'m confused." Chen Yu put down the banner, looking directly at the officer. "It seems like you know the whole story, so which side are you on?"
"..." The officer fell silent for a moment, then whispered, "Just leave quickly. There\'s a lot going on here."
Chen Yu laughed sarcastically, pointing at the building in front, "If there\'s something wrong, why don\'t you take care of it?"
"We\'re not the ones calling the shots."
"Then who is?"
The officer spoke calmly, "The Transcendents are."
"..."
Chen Yu\'s pupils dilated slightly...
