212: Chapter 212: Leave It to You to Solve 212: Chapter 212: Leave It to You to Solve Back home, Zhao Guang didn’t notice anything amiss, but what he didn’t expect was that, just two days later, his property was actually besieged. Looking down from the upper floors, he saw people everywhere. The ones at the front, weren’t they the homeowners from before? Speaking of which, he had met most of them only once, which was when they signed the contracts. If not for his strong memory, he wouldn’t have been able to remember them all. As a result, these people had blocked the place, and the dairy cows he had just sent over couldn’t even enter his community. What on earth were these guys doing? Zhao Guang was somewhat puzzled. Suddenly, Zhao Guang’s eyes flickered, “If I don’t understand, I might as well ask.” Zhao Guang walked straight out, climbing over the wall from a spot where no one was around. Dressed in different clothes and wearing a mask, Zhao Guang made his way into the crowd. “Hey, why are there so many people here, what happened in the front?” Zhao Guang approached like one of the curious onlookers, and right at the front was one of the homeowners. These people didn’t have the same strong memory as Zhao Guang; even if he stood in front of them, whether they could recognize him was questionable, let alone now with a mask on. As soon as the person heard someone asking, they immediately turned to Zhao Guang, as if they found someone to talk to, and started explaining at length. “It’s that house, that unscrupulous businessman. He knew this place was going to be turned into University City and took the opportunity to buy our houses at a low price while we weren’t paying attention—damn him.” A chubby person next to him also expressed anger, “Exactly, it’s all about information asymmetry, isn’t it? These people are making a fortune through their connections, why should we, the common people, be bullied? Absolutely not.” Zhao Guang was speechless for a moment; if it weren’t for him buying this place, there wouldn’t even be a University City. In front, an old lady was loudly saying to the journalists, “I’m the one who got cheated, the contact person. I really thought he just liked this place, but who knew he could deceive me like this.” “It’s all your fault, if it weren’t for you, how could we possibly sell our houses.” Someone nearby was very indignant towards the old lady, and Zhao Guang felt a twinge of regret; this was his former landlord. The landlord was a good person, and even though she was now denouncing him, Zhao Guang was not angry. Looking around at the other people, he knew if the landlord didn’t denounce him, she would be in trouble. Nevertheless, how did the word spread so quickly when the notice hadn’t been sent out yet? Looking further ahead, Zhao Guang started to sense that something was wrong, because there were a lot of journalists at the front—real journalists, and not just one or two. Judging by their appearance, there were several professional teams; they must be from TV stations’ journalist squads. “This spread so fast; it feels like someone’s targeting me.” Zhao Guang immediately thought of Bai Heng; only that guy had such influence. But then again, all he did was release the news, and although his methods were disgusting, it seemed no laws were broken. Without evidence, he had to watch that guy get away with it, which was infuriating. The crowd before him, though, was a problem, as they were all ordinary people. If this matter wasn’t settled well, there would be even more trouble ahead. Zhao Guang could imagine Bai Heng linking him to Da Manjin. Even though he didn’t care about anything to do with Da Manjin, he didn’t want the Guo family’s reputation to suffer because of him. Better report it to the police, even if it’s a bit of trouble. Zhao Guang moved away from the crowd, took out his phone, about to call the police: “These people, they sure know how to give me trouble, just this... wait a second, the cause isn’t on me, is it?” Zhao Guang suddenly realized that the University City plan was actually a compensation given to him from the higher-ups. If it was compensation, then there shouldn’t be this kind of trouble. The offspring of those higher-ups might not be easily dealt with, but when it comes to pacifying the public, they should be more skillful than anyone else. Thinking of this, Zhao Guang canceled the 110 numbers on his phone and dialed Huang Haopeng’s number instead. “Mr. Zhao? This is Huang Haopeng. Do you have goods for me again?” He thought Zhao Guang had accepted the kindness from above and had a change of heart. Zhao Guang said without mincing words, “You’ve caused me such a big problem and still expect goods?” The anger in Zhao Guang’s voice came through clearly, even over the phone. “Caused trouble? What trouble? Can you clarify?” He was just a small worker; what on earth had happened again? If there was really a huge problem, he wouldn’t be able to solve it. Honestly, if it weren’t for the decent treatment and prospects, Huang Haopeng would have wanted nothing more with this job. “What else could it be? The University City matter is now known to everyone. Now, the previous homeowners are blocking my door, and a lot of journalists are reporting here, it’s like you’re compensating or targeting me.” “Wait a second, you’re saying many people are blockading, and there are journalists?” Huang Haopeng felt something wasn’t quite right; those journalists weren’t so easy to mobilize. Even if they were mobilized, a few would be understandable, but a large number of journalists suddenly getting news and showing up meant something was amiss. “That’s not right, the news hasn’t been released yet. It’s supposed to be announced next month when construction starts; there’s an internal problem,” he finally understood why Zhao Guang was calling him. “I understand. I will report this immediately.” “Then I’ll leave the matter to you guys; I’ll wait for your good news.” Zhao Guang smiled, thinking whoever caused him trouble should solve it themselves. It would be interesting to have Bai Heng face off with the higher-ups. He just wondered what Bai Heng’s expression would be after he found out. No matter, why worry about so much? Zhao Guang walked to a secluded area, intending to climb back over the wall. But just as he was about to climb, he saw two people had already gotten inside ahead of him. Zhao Guang followed closely behind, “Bro, what are you here for?” “What else? For firsthand information, of course. If I can get some inside scoop, I could get a promotion later. You’re here for the same reason, right? Let’s split up and share what we find later.” So they were journalists, not thieves. No wonder tabloid journalists are disliked. “Okay, I’ll go that way, and you go the other way, how’s that?” “Bro, do you know some insider information? That direction should be where that person lives, right? How about we swap places?” the two peered at Zhao Guang meaningfully.
