"You bastard, I'll fight you to the death! My grandmother is so old, and you still brought her up the mountain! I'll kill you!"
Seeing his grandmother appear, Li Shan was completely provoked and charged at Ling Feng, roaring at him.
Unfortunately, he was merely a thug leader with some brute strength!
Two soldiers nearby stepped forward, kicking him in the stomach, while another used his rifle butt to tap Li Shan's forehead.
Li Shan immediately knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach, and let out a low groan. His forehead throbbed and felt dizzy.
This was because the opponent had deliberately controlled their strength; otherwise, that blow would have been enough to cripple him.
"Da Shan, Da Shan! Why are you acting up again? You're so old, why can't you stop worrying your grandmother!"
The old grandmother stumbled towards Li Shan, grabbed his arm, and began to cry.
"Grandma, ah... Grandma..."
Li Shan, ignoring his pain, quickly helped his grandmother up, his face filled with guilt.
The previously arrogant and fierce Li Shan was now shedding tears, his heart aching too much to utter a complete sentence.
Yang Fei watched the scene and couldn't help but shake his head, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
Ling Feng glanced at Yang Fei and said softly, "Their underhanded tactics caused the work stoppage here, which is indeed hateful. However, they are just pawns being used!"
Yang Fei chuckled and nodded. He knew that even if these people were arrested and sent to jail, it would be useless.
The actions of the Wuhu Group would not stop. If this group of people left, another group would come!
This was what gave Yang Fei a headache.
But Yang Fei couldn't figure out how Ling Feng intended to deal with these people.
Even after following the Supreme for so many years, he still found it difficult to fathom the Supreme's thoughts.
Just then, Ling Feng said coldly to Tang Zhao beside him, "Bring out the prepared cash!"
"Ah? Now?"
Tang Zhao was stunned. Ling Feng had asked him to prepare five million in cash earlier, which was kept at the construction site.
Tang Zhao had been full of doubts, and now that Ling Feng was asking for it, he was even more perplexed.
Ling Feng gave Tang Zhao a cold look, and Tang Zhao immediately stopped his chatter, quickly having the cash brought out and placed before Ling Feng.
There were five large boxes, each containing one million.
"Li Shan!"
Upon hearing Ling Feng call his name, Li Shan's heart trembled. He was truly afraid!
He, Li Shan, wouldn't even flinch if Ling Feng killed him; he considered himself a tough man.
But his grandmother couldn't be harmed. His grandmother had raised him with great difficulty, and after only a few years of good living, was she to be buried with him?
Li Shan turned to look at Ling Feng. At this moment, the surrounding spotlights were turned off, making the surroundings appear dimmer.
This allowed Li Shan to see Ling Feng's face clearly!
So young!
"Tell me, what do you want me to do to let my grandmother go?" Li Shan gritted his teeth and stared at Ling Feng.
The thugs, huddled with their relatives, also glared at Ling Feng with gritted teeth.
In their eyes, Ling Feng was now an unforgivable villain.
Harm should never extend to family!
But Ling Feng had even brought their relatives here, which embarrassed them and filled them with grief!
"Did I ever say I would do anything to your grandmother?"
Ling Feng's counter-question stunned Li Shan and the others!
That's right! Their relatives were brought here by the soldiers, and they were all unharmed. It seemed Ling Feng had never said he would do anything to their relatives.
This was entirely due to their guilty consciences, fearing they would implicate their relatives.
"What exactly do you want?" Li Shan became even more anxious.
Ling Feng waved his hand, and several people immediately came out and opened the five boxes filled with cash.
Instantly, the colorful banknotes filled Li Shan and the others' vision.
So much money!
"There is a total of five million here!" Ling Feng said calmly. "Now, I will give you two choices!"
At these words, everyone fell silent.
"First, I won't shoot you, but I will have people cripple you. You can use this money as medical expenses."
"Of course, you can also hire lawyers to sue me! However, it is certain that besides medical expenses, you will not get a single cent from me. You will be unable to support yourselves for the rest of your lives, let alone your families!"
Just hearing the first choice sent a chill down Li Shan and the others' spines, and they swallowed hard!
To cripple them, to remove the main labor force from their families!
This was indeed more cruel than killing them!
"Despicable!"
Li Shan spat.
Ling Feng ignored him and continued, "Second, I want you to establish a security company here, specifically responsible for the security of this construction site, ensuring its normal construction! If you agree, you can take this five million now!"
Li Shan's eyes widened, a sharp glint flashing within them!
A security company?
Did people like him have a chance to do such respectable work?
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhao frowned deeply and secretly glanced at Guo Zhigang and Lu Youhai. They were also somewhat puzzled and confused.
Giving so much money to these thugs felt unpleasant.
However, considering that this money could ensure the normal construction of the site, Tang Zhao had to nod. This was indeed a solution.
Yang Fei, however, thought more deeply and immediately gave Ling Feng a thumbs-up, flattering him, "Heavenly Venerable, this method of recruitment is brilliant! It not only weakens the enemy and strengthens ourselves but also solves the future security personnel problem for this project."
Tang Zhao and the others were not foolish. Hearing Yang Fei's words, they suddenly understood, and their gazes towards Ling Feng became even more respectful.
Ling Feng ignored the reactions of those around him and simply stared at Li Shan.
He knew that as long as this Li Shan agreed, most of the others would likely agree!
"Da Shan, this big boss is a good person! Look at what you people have done, is that humanly possible?" Li Shan's grandmother said tearfully.
"You're so old, and you haven't even settled down properly. That's one thing, but you still haven't found a proper job! Even if Grandma dies, she won't be able to rest in peace!"
"Grandma, I..." Li Shan was about to say something but found himself choked up, unable to speak.
"Da Shan, now this big boss is giving you so much money and such a great opportunity to have a proper livelihood. Why don't you cherish it? Do you think Grandma is a burden to you?"
"Alright! Grandma, I'll jump down from here right now!"
