I am not just a tycoon

Li Fulong grimaced and said, "Hurry up and make him stop; this is my brother's wall!"

"Your brother's place, huh... I really didn't know that."

The excavator driver scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Although he appeared embarrassed, he still showed no intention of stopping the operator.

Li Fulong grew angrier. "Why haven't you stopped him yet!"

The excavator driver chuckled dryly. "This is a task assigned by the Factory Manager. Maybe you should ask him?"

Factory Manager?

Li Fulong, taking in the two luxury cars, felt increasingly uneasy and subsequently took out his phone to make a call.

Meanwhile, Li Fuqing, noticing his brother's solemn expression, also felt uneasy. "Fu Long, what's going on? I don't have any feud with your Factory Manager."

Li Fulong gestured for him to wait. "Hold on, I'm making a call."

A tense atmosphere developed between the two groups. Those who had come with Li Fulong were from the factory security, and fighting was not an option; they were merely called in by the Assistant Factory Manager to show a presence.

But from the looks of it, they had made the trip in vain. The Assistant Factory Manager had clearly encountered a tough situation, so they coolly started smoking on the side.

As Li Fulong made his call, Shen Yuan also phoned Jin Zhifa. "Jin Zhifa, bro, what a coincidence, the wall being demolished belongs to your Assistant Factory Manager..."

Shen Yuan explained the whole situation to Jin Zhifa, who paused for two seconds before responding, "Don't worry, mate, this was their mistake. I'll have a word with that Assistant Factory Manager. Leave the matter to me."

"Alright."

After finishing his call with Jin Zhifa, Shen Yuan hung up. In fact, he had considered resolving this by hiring some thugs which would have disgusted Li Fuqing even more.

But considering his grandma and uncle would continue to live there, it was necessary to involve a "local snake," especially since Li Fulong was conveniently the Assistant Factory Manager at Jian Hua. That made things much easier.

After finishing the first call, it didn't take long for Li Fulong to receive a second call. With a pallid face and head bowed, he kept repeating a few sentences.

"Okay."

"I understand, Mr. Jin."

"Alright, let's proceed that way."

After hanging up, Li Fulong took Li Fuqing and Li Jinguo into the yard, his expression displeased. "Brother, you should go and apologize to them later. And don't contest over that road anymore."

Li Fuqing was stunned for half a second, then raised his voice, "Why should I! They demolished our wall, and you want me to apologize to them?"

Li Fulong spoke in a somber tone, "We were in the wrong from the beginning. Besides, your house construction encroached on their land; we have no justifiable reason."

"What justifiable reason!"

Li Fuqing hastily said, "Fu Long, you're the Assistant Factory Manager at Jian Hua, and big brother Jinguo is the Village Chief. We're not afraid of them!"

Li Jinguo, being the Village Chief, was more perceptive than Li Fuqing. Piecing together the two luxury cars outside and the calls Li Fulong had made, he could sense the gravity of the situation.

He asked seriously, "Fu Long, what background does that kid from Li Hongjuan's family have?"

Li Fulong sighed helplessly and explained, "He's a big boss from Star City, worth hundreds of millions. He's negotiating a deal with our boss at Jian Hua. The boss directly gave the order."

Li Fuqing opened his mouth as if to retort, but Li Fulong continued, "I know what you want to say, but losing my job is a minor issue. The real concern is they haven't gone all out yet. If they really wanted to, they wouldn't have been so lenient."

"You're the one who encroached on their land to build your house and fence. They aren't short on money; hiring two lawyers could sue us into oblivion. Then we'd have to pay damages and demolish the house."

"That's not the end of it. If they want to continue messing with us, they could easily strip big brother Jinguo of his Village Chief position. Do you think people with such wealth lack political connections?"

"One of the companies our factory worked with is called Leji, the biggest fitness brand in Star City. Their boss in Lu District faced a loss of at least tens of millions just for crossing the son from Li Hongjuan's family. And there's nowhere to even plead the case."

"Brother, it's not the early 2000s anymore. Acting tough is useless. They play by the book and can crush us easily."

"These kinds of people can squash us like ants. That's why, brother, go apologize and let's end this matter."

Li Fuqing and Li Jinguo exchanged glances, especially Li Fuqing, who felt increasingly disheartened the more he listened.

He thought the other party was just someone with some money, but now...

After digesting everything, Li Fuqing couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there any other way?"

Li Fulong shook his head.

Li Fuqing silently lowered his head.

The only sounds were the excavator demolishing their wall and the bulldozer dumping all the debris in their own yard, while his own respected elder cousin, Li Jinguo, and brother, Li Fulong, had no solution for the initiator.

It was the first time he felt such a sense of helplessness, suddenly feeling that the world was very dark.

...

Outside the courtyard.

Shen Yuan had already asked the excavator and bulldozer to stop the construction and leave after they had demolished about 10 meters of the wall, approximately 300 yuan per square meter, so 3000 yuan should be about right.

However, Shen Yuan had the bulldozer driver dump all the construction debris in Li Fuqing's yard—it was up to them to clean it up!

Ji Ya finally realized why Shen Yuan had asked the excavator operator to slow down; it was to ensure that those two men saw the demolition.

"Let's go home."

Shen Yuan called everyone to head home.

While everyone was still trying to grasp the situation, how could Li Fulong, who had some reputation in Jinzhou Town, just enter the courtyard after his own brother's wall had been demolished without making a sound?
