Chapter 110: A Shout Against Injustice

Hearing what Li Dong said, Song Bin quickly protested, "This is definitely over 400 square meters. How could I deceive you on that?"

Li Dong thought about it and agreed; if they were to sign a contract, the exact square footage would be stated.

Song Bin wouldn't lie about this, but Li Dong still thought it seemed too small.

However, he wasn't interested in this space anymore and asked, "Do you have something a bit larger?"

A flicker of interest flashed in Song Bin's eyes as he tentatively asked, "Are you thinking of renting an entire floor?"

Though the question was directed at Li Dong, Song Bin was looking at Sun Tao.

If Yuanfang rented an entire floor, Song Bin would benefit greatly. He was actually hoping they would rent the whole floor.

Li Dong and Sun Tao exchanged glances and then said, "Let's take a look first. If it's suitable, renting the whole floor is fine."

Song Bin's face lit up with joy. He quickly said, "Alright, the 16th floor is still available. It's the only empty floor in the Global Plaza. I'll take you to see it."

---

Just as Li Dong and the others exited the elevator, an unexpected incident occurred.

A figure rushed towards them and collided with Li Dong, who was at the front. With no room to retreat because of people behind him, Li Dong was knocked off balance.

Had Sun Tao not caught him, Li Dong might have fallen.

Even without falling, Li Dong's chin was bumped painfully, and he scolded, "Don't you look where you're going?"

The person who collided with Li Dong steadied himself and immediately apologized, "Sorry, I…"

Looking up, Wang Jia was stunned.

Li Dong was also momentarily surprised and then said irritably, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Jia lowered his head again, remaining silent.

Song Bin, who was behind Li Dong, asked, "Wang Jia, what's going on?"

Wang Jia glanced at Li Dong, probably realizing what Li Dong was trying to accomplish. He reluctantly explained, "It's nothing. I forgot something and was going back to get it."

Just as he was about to bypass Li Dong and go downstairs, a furious voice came from behind: "You little bitch, how dare you kick me!"

Li Dong and the others frowned simultaneously, and Wang Jia's face turned pale.

As the shouting subsided, a plump middle-aged man came stumbling towards them, holding his groin.

Seeing so many people, the fat man's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and pointed angrily at Wang Jia, shouting, "Wang, you dare to kick me! If you don't kneel and apologize today, I'll make sure you go bankrupt. Do you believe that?"

Wang Jia, enraged, retorted, "If you hadn't tried to take advantage of me, I wouldn't have kicked you!"

The middle-aged man immediately started cursing, "Nonsense! You little whore, how dare you accuse me…"

"Enough! Watch your language!"

Li Dong interrupted with a frown and asked Wang Jia, "What's going on?"

Wang Jia looked aggrieved and pointed at the fat man, saying, "He said he wanted to view an office. After I showed him around, he tried to take advantage of me, so I kicked him."

"You bastard, you dare…"

Before the middle-aged man could finish his curse, Li Dong coldly interrupted, "Try cursing again, I dare you!"

Whether Wang Jia was his friend or not, even if he didn't know Wang Jia, Li Dong couldn't tolerate someone with such filthy language.

The middle-aged man, angered and embarrassed by Li Dong's reprimands, lashed out, "Fuck your mother! Who do you think you are? Do you believe I'll find someone to deal with you?"

Li Dong's expression was frosty. "I'd like to see how you plan to deal with me!"

With that, Li Dong ignored him and turned to Song Bin. "Call the police!"

Song Bin, looking embarrassed, hesitated for a moment before saying quietly, "I think this is a misunderstanding. Maybe we should let it go."

Li Dong frowned but remained silent.

The man across from them, with an air of arrogance, continued, "Call the police! I'm not afraid of you. Believe it or not, I'll break your leg and still be out tomorrow! You think you can play the hero and save the damsel in distress? Do you even know which way the police station's door opens?"

Li Dong didn't respond, but Sun Tao couldn't help but retort, "Can you speak properly?"

Perhaps because Sun Tao was dressed formally, the fat man slightly restrained himself but still grumbled, "I got kicked in the nuts, and all you can do is stand around and interfere. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Sun Tao frowned. This kind of person was clearly a lowlife. Arguing with him would only lower his own status.

Neither Li Dong nor Sun Tao was interested in dealing with such a scumbag. Li Dong said to Wang Jia, "Let's go. I'll take you back."

Wang Jia glanced at the fat man, who was glaring at him fiercely, and quickly nodded.

The fat man shouted, "You dare! If you don't kneel and apologize today, this matter isn't settled!"

Li Dong gave him a cold glance and said, "Tell me, who are you? If you're someone we can't afford to offend, we'll admit defeat today."

Li Dong didn't say the latter part, but if they could afford to offend him, considering the abuse he'd received today, Li Dong would certainly want to get his revenge.

The fat man remained silent, glaring at Li Dong with a fierce expression.

Seeing this, Li Dong ignored him and stepped into the elevator.

Sun Tao quickly followed, and Song Bin, after glancing at the fat man and then at Sun Tao, hesitated a moment before giving the fat man a polite smile and hurrying into the elevator.

---

Once the elevator doors closed, Wang Jia was about to speak, but Li Dong waved for her to be quiet.

Li Dong then turned to Song Bin and asked calmly, "Who was that person just now?"

In the business world, few had poor judgment.

Now Song Bin no longer saw Li Dong as just Sun Tao's subordinate; it seemed Sun Tao was more like Li Dong's subordinate.

Realizing Li Dong's interest, Song Bin quickly explained, "That person was Mr. Zhu Hongtao from Dalong Investment."

Pausing, Song Bin added with a hint of reluctance, "Though it's called an investment company, it's essentially a demolition squad. He has a group of people who specialize in forced demolitions. It's best to avoid provoking them if possible; otherwise, it could be a real hassle."

Li Dong understood Song Bin's meaning.

Those involved in forced demolitions rarely had clean hands, and more importantly, they were skilled at making people's lives difficult.

Li Dong wasn't concerned about this, but those in such positions generally had strong backing.

Li Dong pondered for a moment and then asked, "Is he from the district or the city?"

Song Bin, being sharp, quickly grasped Li Dong's implication and whispered, "From the district."

He even made a gesture of shooting and muttered, "The big guy!"

Li Dong remained silent but understood Song Bin's implication—the top official at the district's Public Security Bureau.

Although the position might not be high, just a division chief or deputy director, the authority was significant.

In the university town, Zhu Hongtao had the capital to be arrogant. It was no wonder Song Bin dared not provoke him.

Although the property management department of the Global Plaza also had some background, offending a local strongman for a newly hired employee wasn't very cost-effective.

Li Dong was also considering whether it was worth offending this person for Wang Jia.

But soon, Li Dong realized not everything could be measured by profit and loss.

Even if Wang Jia wasn't involved, Li Dong would have stepped in if someone like Zhu Hongtao forced a woman to apologize.

Just a demolition thug. Regardless of his connections, Li Dong wasn't afraid.

Yuanfang had established itself in Pingchuan, and they had connections throughout. He didn't believe he couldn't stand up to a thug.
