Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 243 The Loader’s Tire Blew Out

"Yes, Lin Feng, you don’t know how these people are. As long as anyone tries to stop them, they’ll immediately arrest them. Once someone is caught, they won’t easily let them go. They’ll just take the opportunity to demolish the house," Lin Dongchen saw Lin Feng wanting to move to the front and immediately stopped him while explaining the events of the previous night. Last night, he helplessly watched as several people were captured by them and then, with lightning speed, the house was pushed down. How could Lin Feng think of going up there? If those people caught him, it would only lead to serious trouble.

"Son, don’t be reckless, it’s too dangerous up front!" Lin Yiwen also held back his son, with only one goal in mind—he didn’t want his son to get into any trouble. Those from the demolition team didn’t care about anything, and it would be bad if they hurt his son.

"Son, listen, don’t be impulsive." Zhang Lan also stopped Lin Feng from going forward. With so many shovels up front, what if one hit her son? She had to stop him, to prevent any accidents.

"It’s okay, I just want to take a look, don’t worry about me." Lin Feng finished speaking and, ignoring the objections of his parents and Lin Jie’s family, walked up near the village chief to watch how the situation up front was unfolding.

"You must be Yiwen’s son, Lin Feng, right? I haven’t seen you in a few years, and now you’ve grown into a young man!" Lin Guangyi recognized Lin Feng when he approached, remembering the young boy as Lin Yiwen’s son, whom he had not seen for several years and barely recognized. If Lin Feng hadn’t just come down from a car and walked over to Lin Yiwen’s side, he really wouldn’t have recognized him as Lin Yiwen’s son.

"Village Chief, it’s me. Is there no other way to solve today’s situation?" Lin Feng pointed at the standoff crowd a few steps away and asked Lin Guangyi.

"Of course, there’s no way. If there were, we wouldn’t be in this deadlock!" Lin Guangyi was extremely helpless. If there were a solution, they wouldn’t be in this predicament—to say nothing of the heartache if a villager got injured.

"Lin Feng, nobody has a solution right now, it’s all caused by the demolition team. We can only block them here and not let them through. We even fought them last night and managed to drive them away. Look, my head even got split open!" Hearing Lin Feng’s question, Lin Xueyou pointed to the gauze on his head and explained the situation. He felt intense animosity towards the demolition team—if it weren’t for them, Lin Family Village wouldn’t have had so much trouble!

"Oh, I see." Lin Feng had no choice but to abandon the idea of intervening, yet looking at the opposing crowd, he couldn’t just sit back and decided to think of a way to stop the demolition team, at least for tonight!

Since the demolition team’s goal was to demolish and not to beat people, what if he broke their machinery? Then they would have no choice but to leave, wouldn’t they? With this thought, Lin Feng slowly retreated from the crowd, then found a spot where he could see the machinery on the other side. He picked up several hard pebbles from the ground and, while nobody was looking, flicked them with his fingers.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

Everyone was startled by the sudden deafening noise, standing frozen in place, looking around, clueless about what was happening. Who would set off such powerful firecrackers during the New Year, and so loudly? However, in the blink of an eye, they realized something—everyone from the village was blocking the entrance; no one was at home, so it was impossible for such loud firecrackers to go off! Then, what was happening? Everyone was thoroughly confused now.

"Captain Li, my bulldozer has a flat!"

"My bulldozer has a flat too!"

"Mine too!"

...

The bulldozers, which had been roaring just moments before, had all shut down because the tires of several bulldozers driving over had all burst, leaving them immobile on the spot. The drivers, all anxious, were now shouting at Li Dahe, asking what to do.

What, the tires of the bulldozers burst?

How could this be?

It’s winter!

...

All the demolition team members were baffled. Today’s situation was just too weird. How could the bulldozers’ tires burst all of a sudden? If you’d say it was someone’s sabotage, that would be impossible, because all around were one’s own people, who certainly wouldn’t puncture the tires of the bulldozers. But to say the tires burst due to heat, that was even more unlikely. It was the dead of winter; who has ever heard of tires bursting from heat in the dead of winter? So that was impossible as well. What was going on then?

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

As everyone was still in a daze, the excavators with hammer attachments behind them also died, the massive hammers falling to the ground. Everyone could feel the ground shaking. Faced with this sudden situation, the demolition team didn’t know what to do and could only halt their work and retreat. Charging forward at this time was meaningless. When the bulldozers’ tires had burst, and now the hammers of the excavators had fallen off, they had no tools left for demolition, so they really couldn’t continue!

Why did the bulldozer tires explode, followed by the falling hammers of the excavation machines? Now all the machinery was out of commission, how could the demolition work continue? Even if repairs started now, it would take at least a few hours to fix everything. Thinking of this, sweat beaded on Li Dahe’s forehead. This delay had again pushed things to tomorrow. He didn’t even want to think about how Chairman Bi would chew him out! But no matter how fearful he felt now, it was useless; he’d better contact him quickly to see what could be resolved. If he delayed without saying anything, it was bound to be a problem. With this thought, Li Dahe reluctantly took out his mobile phone to dial Bi Huihuang’s number, to ask what should be done next.

"Hello, Chairman Bi, this is Demolition Team Leader Li Dahe. I have a situation here and need to ask what should be done," Li Dahe had no other choice but to report the situation to Bi Huihuang; otherwise, if Bi Huihuang found out on his own, he would definitely blame him for incompetence.

"What situation are you talking about? Has the demolition already started over there?" Bi Huihuang was very surprised to receive Li Dahe’s call. Could it be that things were going smoothly and the demolition had begun? Otherwise, why would Li Dahe contact him?

"Well, Chairman Bi, there has been a change. The demolition work has completely stopped now." Hearing Bi Huihuang pressing for the demolition work to start over the phone, Li Dahe started sweating profusely, uncertain about how enraged Bi Huihuang would become.

"What! What do you mean ’completely stopped’? What have you been doing? I need the demolition done on time, and now you’re bringing me a stoppage? What are you trying to imply?" Bi Huihuang flew into a rage upon hearing Li Dahe’s words. He had just coordinated with various departments in the morning because the demolition team had arrived at Lin Family Village the previous night. And now there was another situation cropping up—what kind of workmanship was this? While he could wait, Young Master Wang couldn’t wait much longer, and the Lin Family Village had to be demolished as soon as possible!

"Chairman Bi, it’s really strange: all the bulldozer tires burst, and additionally, the hammers of the two hammer excavators fell off as well. All of our demolition machinery is broken, we truly can’t continue," Li Dahe had no choice but to tell the truth, even though Bi Huihuang was scolding him, making him feel very depressed. But who could help it if indeed something had gone wrong? In this freezing winter, all the bulldozer tires burst without a single one spared, almost simultaneously, and the two hammer excavators having their hammers mysteriously fall off—it was just too bizarre and eerie!

"You’re f****** kidding me, right? Bulldozer tires burst and the hammers fell off the excavators? Why don’t you also say your gut exploded or your dick is limp? Who are you trying to fool? Don’t bother with such absurd stories. Nobody with a brain would believe you. If you can’t demolish, then just say so. But don’t feed me that bullsh*t, trying to deceive Laozi. You really got a death wish!" Bi Huihuang was infuriated to the point he almost smashed the phone. Who could believe such nonsense? Was it just to bluff him? Did he seem easy to fool?

"Chairman Bi, I’m telling you the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can ask anyone else. Even ask the people from Lin Family Village if you want; it’s just so weird, the tires just exploded. We really don’t know what happened," Li Dahe implored as Bi Huihuang clearly didn’t believe him, and he became anxious. How could he be lying about such a bizarre event? The machines just broke without cause, under the watch of so many eyes—it would be impossible to lie about it!

"Damn, I don’t know how I ended up with a bunch of useless wretches like you! Can’t do a damn thing right; shut your trap and take your men and get out of here. Leave a few people there to watch the machinery and get it fixed as soon as possible. Nothing has been demolished, instead, all my machinery is wrecked. What the hell have you been doing, how about I give your whole damn crew a good beating!" Although Bi Huihuang was already boiling with rage, upon hearing Li Dahe’s tone and words, he began to believe that what he said was true. Such an incident couldn’t be kept secret, and Li Dahe wouldn’t dare lie to him. But how had all this machinery suddenly broken today? The circumstances did indeed seem peculiar!

"Understood." Hearing he could finally go back, Li Dahe felt both relief and concern—relieved that he didn’t have to face the fired-up villagers of Lin Family Village, but worried about how Bi Huihuang would deal with him once back. After thinking it over, he decided there was no point in worrying about it now, and he should return with his men and face whatever was coming.

"Call it off; let’s head back to the county and figure things out. Leave a few people here to keep an eye on the machinery." After saying this, Li Dahe led all the demolition team members out of Lin Family Village, boarding two large trucks and heading toward the county town.

"The demolition team is gone!"

"The demolition team is gone!"

"They’ve left!"

"They’ve really left!"

...

The villagers of Lin Family Village erupted in cheers as they saw the demolition team retreating. Only after they’d gone could they truly feel happy; at least they wouldn’t have to worry about their houses for today. But what caused the tires of the bulldozers to burst today? And for all the bulldozers to have their tires burst at once—what was going on? It was all too bizarre, especially in the dead of winter; how could the tires just burst out of nowhere? It must have been because those people had done something wicked, provoking divine retribution from the Immortal!
