Chapter 1164 You Can’t Afford to Move Against Me

Lin Qiye didn’t speak, just silently looked at him.

“Are you a kidnapper or a hitman? Who sent you? How much did they pay you? I’ll give you double… no, triple!”

Li Jianbo was truly an old hand; even though the scene before him exceeded his understanding, he quickly calmed down and tried to use his advantages to change the situation.

“Who I am is not important.”

Lin Qiye spoke calmly, “I’m not interested in your money either…”

He slowly walked forward, crouched down, and his cold eyes stared into Li Jianbo’s flickering gaze.

“Then what do you want?”

“I came here just to give you a warning.” Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed to a dangerous curve:

“That land in the Old Town District… you can’t touch it.”

“Old Town District?”

Hearing these three words, Li Jianbo froze.

Before this, countless possibilities had flashed through his mind, including murder, extortion, kidnapping, even robbery… but he never imagined that the target would be the Old Town District.

“Were you sent by a competitor? Is it Zhao Corporation or Hengyu?” Li Jianbo asked confusedly, then shook his head, “That’s impossible…”

Not for money, only for the Old Town District—besides competitors fighting for profit, Li Jianbo couldn’t think of any other possibility. But on second thought, while the development value of the Old Town District was decent, it wasn’t high enough to warrant sending hitmen to warn him.

In the past, Li Corporation had developed many promising plots of land without incident. Why now, when developing the Old Town District, had someone targeted him?

What was special about this place?

Lin Qiye reached out and drew his [Zhan Bai] sword half an inch from its sheath. A flash of blade light swept past Li Jianbo’s ear, slicing off a lock of his hair along with the two heavy wooden frames beneath it, turning everything to fragments!

A chilling sensation instantly enveloped Li Jianbo’s heart!

“I’ll say it once more.” Lin Qiye returned [Zhan Bai] to its sheath and spoke grimly, “The Old Town District… you can’t touch it. Understand?”

Li Jianbo’s back was already soaked with cold sweat. He lay stiffly among the wooden fragments, nodding repeatedly:

“I understand, I understand. I won’t touch the Old Town District! Absolutely not!”

“Also…” Lin Qiye continued slowly, “I hear you often bribe thugs to harass and beat people who refuse to relocate…”

“I won’t dare anymore! I absolutely won’t dare again!!” Li Jianbo immediately understood Lin Qiye’s meaning and begged for mercy very quickly.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye gave him a cold glance, calmly turned around, and disappeared into the darkness.

Although Li Corporation used violent means to force people to move out, which was despicable, they weren’t unforgivably evil. Lin Qiye’s visit was mainly a warning—first to make him give up the Old Town District, and second, to serve as a wake-up call to prevent elderly people like Old Liu from being targeted by criminal forces in the future.

Since Li Jianbo had already yielded, his purpose was achieved. If in the next few days he received news that Li Corporation hadn’t abandoned the Old Town District, he would visit again.

At that time, it wouldn’t be just a warning.

Seeing Lin Qiye’s figure disappear like a ghost, Li Jianbo’s eyes widened in shock. After a long while, he regained his senses, stumbled to his feet, and let out a long breath.

“That was like seeing a ghost…”

Li Jianbo cursed, walked up the stairs from the wine cellar to the ground floor, straightened his clothes, and was about to push open the mansion door when he heard two voices from behind.

“Hey, Old Cao, isn’t that Li Jianbo?”

“Looks like him, just like his photos online.”

“Why did he crawl out from underground?”

“Who cares… let’s go!”

Li Jianbo: ???

Before Li Jianbo could react, he felt a chill at the back of his head, and lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he was hanging upside down from a crooked old tree.

Li Jianbo rubbed the back of his head, wincing in pain. He looked at the inverted world before him, and his gaze finally fell on two masked figures beneath the tree.

One wore a Zhu Bajie mask, the other a Sha Wujing mask.

Li Jianbo’s eyes gradually widened.

Damn it… no way?!

“You’re Li Jianbo, right? I hear you’re quite something,” the figure in the Zhu Bajie mask sneered. “Beating up old people, bullying children… at your age, you’ve lived to become a dog, haven’t you?”

The figure in the Sha Wujing mask delivered a flying kick to Li Jianbo’s abdomen, making him swing back and forth on the branch like a pendulum. Li Jianbo groaned in pain, clutching his stomach.

“Heroes… heroes! I know I was wrong, I’ve already admitted my mistake! Please let me go…” Li Jianbo begged again.

After Lin Qiye left, Li Jianbo thought the matter was over, but he never imagined this was actually a group operation?!

They were even taking turns beating and warning him?

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing… he’d never believe they weren’t working together.

“You know you were wrong? So quickly?” Sha Wujing narrowed his eyes. “I don’t believe it…”

He kicked Li Jianbo again, making him swing wildly as his screams were drowned out by the heavy rain.

“That’s enough, Old Cao. If we get back too late, Seven Night will notice,” the Zhu Bajie mask said in a low voice.

Sha Wujing nodded, grabbed the dazed Li Jianbo to stop his swinging, and spoke calmly:

“I’m warning you… don’t touch the Old Town District. If you send people there again, I’ll chop off one of your hands… understand?”

“I understand… I under—ugh! I understand…”

Sha Wujing casually cut the rope above Li Jianbo, who fell like a sandbag, his face smashing hard into the ground.

By the time Li Jianbo painfully crawled up from the ground, the two figures had vanished without a trace.

“Animals… these animals…” Li Jianbo tried to wipe the rainwater from his face, only to discover his nose bridge had collapsed, causing his mouth to twitch in pain. “There’s really no law anymore, there’s really no justice in this world!!”

“I’m calling the police! I’m calling the police!”

“You think Li Jianbo is a pushover??”

Li Jianbo cursed as he walked to the mansion, tremblingly taking out his phone from his pocket and dialing a number:

“Hello? Chief Han? This is Li Jianbo. I want to tell you about…”

“Shhhhhhhhhh…”

“Hello? Hello? No signal?”

Li Jianbo’s brow furrowed slightly.

Click—!!

As he was confusedly shaking his phone, all the lights in the estate suddenly went out. Then, the silhouette of a white ghost emerged from the phone screen.

A bone-chilling, cold female voice came from the other end of the phone:

“Li Jianbo… are you looking to die?”

“The Old Town District… you think you can touch it?”
