Chapter 179: One husband is in charge
Yang Ling said, "If you want to settle the payment now, that would be a breach of contract on your part. Not only will you not get all the money back, but you will also have to pay a penalty for breach of contract."
"And most importantly, if the Yang family survives this crisis, have you considered the consequences of your current opportunistic actions?"
The man who had repeatedly stirred up trouble laughed again: "Are you kidding me? Where did your Yang family get the funds?"
Another person chimed in, "Don't think we don't know. Your Yang family is already at its wit's end. What are you dreaming of? What a pipe dream!"
Yang Ling said without changing her expression, "Not everyone is as short-sighted as you. Some people will kick you when you're down, while others will help you when you're in trouble. It's just a gamble."
"As long as my Yang family can get through this crisis, what's a few billion in chips? Can't we afford to gamble?"
Someone immediately seized on the flaw in her statement: "After all this talk, where exactly is the funding you're talking about coming from? It's not something that hasn't even been mentioned yet, is it?"
Yang Ling clenched her fists, but remained calm on the surface and said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you for now. After all, you all know that my Yang family has enemies now. If all our secrets are revealed, how can my Yang family get through this crisis?"
The man sneered, "Then show us your bank card balance. That's not an unreasonable request, is it?"
Yang Ling could no longer contain herself: "Have I been too kind to you? Do you want me to show you the Yang Group's books as well?"
The man immediately shouted, "See that? To put it bluntly, Yang Ling is a complete liar; not a single word she says is believable!"
Another person started stirring things up: "Anyway, you'll have to wait. I don't trust the Yang family anymore. I have to get the money today!"
"Your Yang Group doesn't owe me much, only about 300,000 yuan in total. Even after deducting penalties and such, it's not unreasonable for me to take some of your computers to settle the debt, is it?"
"None of you are getting any of these computers from me! They're all mine!"
After saying that, he led his men and rushed inside.
With his instigation, the situation that Yang Ling had painstakingly stabilized instantly spiraled out of control.
The law does not punish the masses; since someone has already committed the crime, who wouldn't follow suit?
In an instant, a surge of people rushed into the project site, with more than half of the attendees heading towards it.
Although the security guard and the gatekeeper tried their best to stop them, there were only three of them, one of whom was elderly. How could they possibly stop them?
More importantly, some people took action amidst the chaos, making the situation even more chaotic.
Yang Ling and Ye Ziyan were instantly surrounded and squeezed into the very center of the crowd.
Someone shouted something, and immediately a crowd surged forward, wielding a brick and smashing it against the glass door.
Yang Ling's eyes turned red with anxiety. She wanted to stop them, but her body was being pushed and shoved by the crowd. She was like a small boat in a storm, powerless to resist.
How to do?
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Although she kept trying to find a way to save the Yang family, she couldn't do anything without a source of funds.
In particular, she was, after all, just a woman who was only twenty-five years old.
She had originally thought that the Beicheng Economic Zone project was her only hope. As long as the first building was topped out and she could find a way to get a pre-sale permit, there would be a chance to recoup her funds.
Even if it's sold off cheaply, it can at least buy some time, at least until my brother's innocence is cleared, right?
But unexpectedly, trouble came so quickly.
Moreover, faced with this kind of trouble, all her methods became useless.
At that moment, a tremendous sense of powerlessness filled her heart. Who could save her?
Who can save the Yang family?
The key issue is that if these people really manage to destroy the project site, the news of the Yang family's bankruptcy will inevitably spread throughout Jiangcheng within a few hours!
At that point, it won't just be these people; all the creditors will probably swarm in!
At that time, the Yang family would truly have no hope left!
As the crowd jostled and pushed, Yang Ling lost her composure and could no longer maintain her balance. With a cry of alarm, she fell backward.
At a time like this, who would care about showing mercy to a beautiful woman?
First come, first served; everyone rushed forward, eager to be the first to act.
If you fall in this situation...
Yang Ling's expression changed; her once exquisite and flawless face instantly turned deathly pale.
At the crucial moment, a pair of large hands suddenly appeared behind her and pulled her tightly into their arms.
Sensing the presence of a strange man, Yang Ling panicked and froze instantly.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a handsome face with sharp features come into view.
So handsome...
But she's clearly not a woman who's infatuated with men, so why did such a thought pop into her head so quickly?
It was because he saved me, and it was during my most desperate moment...
Yes, that must be it, that's it...
"Are you OK?"
Yang Ling woke up with a start, only then remembering to push the other person away. But the next moment, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she cried out urgently, "No..."
It's Ye Ziyan.
Seeing Yang Ling being hugged, she assumed the man was a thug and, without thinking, grabbed a brick and smashed it at Xu Ye's head.
That's the back of your head.
If it hits, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Ye Ziyan only acted in a hurry because she saw Yang Ling suffering a loss. When she heard the latter stop her, it was too late to stop.
But even as Yang Ling exclaimed in surprise, the man didn't turn his head, as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
He casually reached behind him and grabbed the brick from Ye Ziyan's hand, then easily took it away.
The next moment, before the two girls could react, he pushed them into the project department's gate, then stood in front of the gate with a brick in one hand, like a war god.
Yang Guosheng and Liang Hu were also present.
Xu Ye's gaze fell on the crowd, his expression unchanged, and he said in an icy tone, "Is it interesting for a bunch of grown men to bully a few girls and elderly people here?"
If it were just Xu Ye alone, he might not be able to calm the chaotic scene down, but don't forget, there's also Liang Hu and the others.
At this moment, they were even more frightening than Xu Ye. Each of them was holding a steel pipe and a brick, and they were all from underground backgrounds. When a group of them stood there, the scene immediately fell silent.
But soon someone shouted at Xu Ye, "Who are you? Who gives you the right to stick your neck out here?"
Xu Ye knew these people were there to collect a debt, and since a conflict had already broken out, it would be useless to reason with them at this point.
Only by demonstrating sufficient strength can we deter them.
Otherwise, if the conflict is allowed to escalate, his subsequent plans will be completely ruined.
He said, "My name is Xu Ye, and I have a long-standing relationship with the Yang family."
"You can have money, but you can't do whatever you want."
"If you like to mess around, I don't mind playing with you, but my men don't hold back when they strike. If you don't want to die, you'd better think carefully before you speak."
