Chapter 912: 953 Chapter Black and White Ready for Anything

The sound was soft, and everyone in the room turned to look toward the door. There were eleven people in total, scattered around, but Li Yifei could still tell they were from two different camps. One camp was the governnt officials responsible for the demolition, five people in total, dressed normally.

The other six individuals, although not dressed bizarrely, exuded an air of arrogance and brutality, obviously from the Steelmaking Plant’s side.

The staff mbers, except for a man in his fifties who seed calm, appeared quite nervous. Clearly, they felt out of their depth when facing the people from the Steelmaking Plant, unable to interact with the authority and calm they would with ordinary citizens.

When soone had slamd the door earlier, two n imdiately rushed forward and blocked Li Yifei, demanding, "Kid, what are you doing here?"

Li Yifei glanced at them indifferently and said, "This land belongs to ."

One of the n glared and snapped, "Are you looking for trouble, bragging here? Do you know who owns this Steelmaking Plant? Do you want to live?"

Li Yifei, not bothering to argue with such thugs, casually pushed them aside, made his way to the desk, and sat down, addressing the man with a large gold chain, "You must be Director Zhao?"

The two n that Li Yifei had pushed aside steadied themselves and hurriedly followed, but at that mont, Zhao Shenggang, sitting in the boss’s chair, waved his hand and sized up Li Yifei, saying, "You’re claiming this land is yours, so you want to negotiate the demolition?"

Li Yifei nodded and replied, "Yes, that’s right. I don’t have much ti to entangle with you. Just na your price and I’ll see if I can accept it."

At that mont, Li Yifei’s tone was not harsh, but Zhao Shenggang inexplicably felt pressured and said, "I’m not selling."

"Fine, then I’m not buying," Li Yifei said, giving Zhao Shenggang a look before he stood up to leave.

Zhao Shenggang was stunned. He had been refusing to sell as a tactic to push the price up, but he didn’t expect his opponent to withdraw so suddenly. He thought Li Yifei was just putting on a show, but to his surprise, Li Yifei was actually ready to walk out without hesitation.

This was the first ti Zhao Shenggang had encountered such a person, and it threw him off. As Li Yifei reached the door, he paused, and Zhao Shenggang felt a surge of hope, thinking the other party was just pretending, which made him more confident.

Li Yifei turned around but didn’t look at Zhao Shenggang. Instead, he addressed the staff, "You don’t need to co here anymore. I’ll communicate with your superiors later. This isn’t a problem for you to resolve."

The five staff mbers had long wanted to be out of this situation. Facing soone as aggressive as Zhao Shenggang, they thought they might need to involve multiple departnts. They were pondering whether to bring in legal and enforcent authorities after they got back.

But they didn’t know Li Yifei or whether he really owned the land, and were unsure of what to do.

"I’ll have Mayor Song talk to your superiors. You can leave with no worries, my na is Li Yifei," said Li Yifei, noticing their hesitation and pulling Mayor Song into the discussion.

These n still didn’t know who Li Yifei was, but once Mayor Song’s na was ntioned, they believed him, politely said their goodbyes, and left.

Zhao Shenggang got a shock; the opponent indeed had significant connections, even involving Mayor Song. If he kept up the standoff, it wouldn’t benefit him. He knew very well his Steelmaking Plant couldn’t operate legally anymore. He had been frustrated for the past two years, investing over thirty million, facing poor steel market conditions and failing environntal standards that barred production.

If soone ca for a straight purchase of his plant, he’d be willing to sell for just a few million, but hearing about demolition, his spirits lifted, aiming for a significant windfall which made him so aggressive.

However, realizing Li Yifei’s significant influence and the potential for a forced demolition under new policies, he felt powerless since he lacked legal permits, and continuing might put him at a disadvantage. Seeing the staff really leaving, he hurriedly called out, "Brother, I was too brusque earlier. Let’s sit down and talk."

Li Yifei turned to face Zhao Shenggang, and asked calmly, "You’ve agreed?"

Zhao Shenggang frowned slightly and said, "I can agree to the demolition, but can we talk about compensation?"

Li Yifei sat back opposite Zhao Shenggang, lit a cigarette, and replied, "Alright, let’s talk."

Zhao Shenggang was sowhat stunned; normally, the other party should lay out their conditions first when negotiating. However, Li Yifei was just smoking and watching him without any intention to speak, not at all like those staff mbers who constantly promoted and chatted.

This made Zhao Shenggang extrely uneasy, as it felt like everything was under the control of the man opposite him nad Li Yifei. Still, he glared and said, "Fine, then I’ll na my price—two billion. Give

two billion, and the Steelmaking Plant is yours."

"Two billion?" Li Yifei’s mouth curled up slightly and he said, "You really have the nerve to ask for that much?"

Zhao Shenggang then brought out his thuggish nature and said, "Two billion sounds like a lot, but without those two billion, you can’t take over this piece of land. In other places, you are worthless. With one billion, you could do other things, couldn’t you?"

"Are you worth two billion?" Li Yifei narrowed his eyes at Zhao Shenggang. Asking for a reasonable high price was sothing Li Yifei could accept, but such a blatant extortion attempt didn’t require him to be polite.

Incited by Li Yifei’s contemptuous gaze, Zhao Shenggang slamd the table and shouted, "I don’t care who you are, but this is Mile City. If you want to make it here, you’ve got to show respect to , Zhao Shenggang. Otherwise, no matter what you do, I’ll make trouble for you and you won’t have peace."

Pausing a mont, sensing that Li Yifei seed unfazed by the threat, Zhao Shenggang snorted and said, "Don’t think I’m just trying to scare you. I, Zhao Shenggang, have been in the underworld for years. I am not without powerful backing. If you want to compare influences, you’re still too green."

"Really? So, are you saying you want to play the underworld ga with ?" Li Yifei spoke with an indifferent tone.

"Exactly, kid. If you don’t satisfy , then let’s see on the underworld battlefield."

Zhao Shenggang, aware that Li Yifei seed to have a significant background—though his own was also substantial but not as direct—felt sowhat inferior in this respect. However, being a native of Mile City and seasoned in the underworld, he knew all the influential figures there. None of them were like Li Yifei, so he wanted to dominate him in the underworld to secure a better price.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Okay, let’s see it on the underworld turf, then. Do you want to set a ti and place, or just strike whenever, and see who can kill the other?"

"Kill...kill?" Zhao Shenggang’s eyes widened. Even though he had deep roots in the underworld, the goal there was money. Usually, it was only the desperate who would kill and run. For them, who were successful, it was about overpowering the other side and seizing enough profit. Fatal accidents were troubleso, and he hadn’t expected such ruthlessness—these weren’t the words of an ordinary gangster but more like those of a godfather-like figure from the movies.

"You can pick either way. I’ll take it, both underworld and official world." Li Yifei stood up, tossed his business card casually at Zhao Shenggang, and said, "Tomorrow this ti, I need to hear your answer. I can only offer you thirty million."

After saying this, Li Yifei headed for the door.

Those few guys, seeing Li Yifei’s brazen attitude, were already restless, and them instantly blocked the door, rolling up their sleeves and adopting a fighting stance.

Li Yifei didn’t even glance at them and simply strode towards the door.

This infuriated the guys even more, feeling a blatant disrespect. They had been in the ga for many years and had never encountered such an audacious figure who could ignore them so completely.

"Holy fuck!" A guy glared, cursed, and swung his fist towards Li Yifei’s head.

Another lad kick aid at Li Yifei’s abdon, their combined attack seemingly well-coordinated.

However, what usually worked, failed utterly today. Neither of them even felt how Li Yifei had moved, and they both found themselves flying backward, nearly causing others nearby to stumble and fall. By the ti they had regained their balance, Li Yifei was already out of sight.

"Damn, is that kid so kind of monster?" one fellow clutched his stomach and dumbly asked.

"A master! Definitely a master!" another stated in astonishnt.

Then they all looked to Zhao Shenggang and asked in unison, "Big brother, what do we do now?"

Zhao Shenggang’s face darkened; he was clueless on how to proceed. That kid seed to handle both the underworld and official world equally well, and his personal strength was formidable. He wasn’t sure if he could handle him.

Suddenly, a na popped into his head. Zhao Shenggang’s eyes brightened up as he hurriedly dialed a phone number.
