Chapter 2050: Is He Feeling Guilty?
Bai Kaixuan sped along, running countless red lights.
At this moment, he was extremely anxious.
"Dad, should I call the police first?"
Bai Simiao called again, asking anxiously on the other end.
"No, don't call the police! I'm on my way. Even if you call the police, these people will just be dispersed, given a warning, and then released. They'll just come back to cause trouble in a couple of days, it'll never end!"
Bai Kaixuan immediately objected, because he realized that it was his own brothers causing trouble for him. Even if he called the police, it wouldn't solve the fundamental problem.
His brothers were determined to achieve their goal.
Bai Kaixin, Bai Kaijin, and Bai Kaishan have always resented his control of Huading Building Materials and have clashed with him many times over this matter.
If it weren't for the fact that he could speak up for his uncle, who held a high position in the capital, and Bai Zhenxing had always protected him, this company would have been taken over by Bai Kaixin and his group long ago.
However, even though it wasn't stolen, the three brothers didn't do anything underhanded behind the scenes.
Especially in the last few months, after the news of the Xingyi Industrial Park project was revealed, the group's activities became even more frequent.
For several months in a row, Huading Building Materials not only failed to secure a single decent order, but some of its long-term clients also terminated their cooperation with it.
What troubled him even more was that several transactions plunged Huading into a quality crisis, resulting in returns.
Although it annoyed him, he was still unwilling to give up the company.
With the bidding for the Xingyi Industrial Park project imminent, Huading Building Materials will have an opportunity once the project is finalized.
Regardless of who wins the bid, they must get past him in order for the demolition to proceed smoothly.
At that time, he could have taken advantage of this to deeply bind Huading Building Materials with the Xingyi Industrial Park project.
In that case, Huading Building Materials could not only be revived, but could even make a fortune.
His three brothers naturally understood this as well, which is why they were so unscrupulous and so eager to force him away.
Previously, they only engaged in underhanded tactics; this time, they've begun to force us to retreat directly.
The chairman of Huading is nominally his father-in-law, Kang Yuan, but he has always been in actual control.
His son, Bai Simiao, is the company manager, but he's actually a complete incompetent. When problems arise, it's Bai Kaixuan who has to step in.
The distance from Beijing South to Xingyi is not far, and with his speed, he arrived near Huading Building Materials in just over an hour.
From a distance, one could see several hundred people gathered at the company entrance watching the spectacle.
In addition, there was a group of street thugs with brightly colored hair, frantically ramming the iron gate.
The security guards who were blocking the door had been beaten bloody and were lying on the ground.
Only Kang Dezhu remained, his back pressed firmly against the iron gate, enduring the impact of dozens of people.
Steel pipes and baseball bats rained down on him through the iron fence, but he didn't utter a sound.
The dozens of thugs were exhausted, their hands were sore, but the door remained firmly in place.
Curly-haired guy shouted from the back of the crowd, "You're all useless trash! You think one person can stop you? Charge in and smash this heartless company!"
Although their hands were sore, these thugs were like they were on steroids, constantly charging forward, making the iron gate rattle loudly.
Upon seeing this, Bai Kaixuan quickly stopped his car and ran over.
As he ran, he shouted, "Stop! I'm Bai Kaixuan, you can talk to me if you want..."
However, the scene was too noisy, and no one heard him shouting. The conflict continued.
Inside the Buick, Bai Kaishan stared at Bai Kaixuan and said in a low voice, "Big brother, second brother is back!"
Bai Kaixin curled his lips into a cold smile. "So what if he's back?"
"If he finds out it was us, and he reports it to the old man, wouldn't that be bad?" Bai Kaishan asked suspiciously.
Bai Kaijin sneered, "Fourth brother, what are you afraid of? After something like this, do you think second brother wants the old man to know?"
Bai Kaixin smiled happily, "That's right, if the old man knew, he would only think he was incompetent."
Although Bai Kaishan hesitated for a moment, he nodded and said, "That makes sense."
At this moment, Curly Hair also saw Bai Kaixuan.
He hesitated and turned his head to look in the direction of the Buick, as if asking what to do next.
Bai Kai sent a new text message: "Ignore him, stick to the plan."
Curly glanced at the text message, then without further hesitation, shouted, "Haven't you all eaten? You guys are usually so capable, but now one of you is blocking all of you. Aren't you ashamed?"
The nearly thirty thugs frantically rammed the door, and steel pipes and baseball bats in the hands of several thugs rained down on Kang Dezhu's thick back.
Bai Kaixuan rushed to the door, waving his arms and shouting, "Stop! Stop! I'm Bai Kaixuan. You can talk to me if you have something to say..."
Only when he was shouting so hard his throat was parched did Curly seem to notice him, and he yelled, "Stop it, all of you!"
The thugs stopped immediately, but did not retreat.
Bai Simiao rushed over and called out through the iron gate, "Dad, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, we wouldn't have been able to hold on..."
Bai Kaixuan clutched his throat with one hand and said in great discomfort, "Give me a bottle of water..."
"Oh~oh~"
Bai Simiao quickly ran over, grabbed a bottle of water, and handed it to Bai Kaixuan.
Bai Kaixuan unscrewed the bottle, downed more than half of it in one gulp, then glanced at the thugs causing trouble and asked, "I'm Bai Kaixuan, the person in charge at Huading. Whatever your problem is, you can talk to me. There's no need to be so impulsive..."
Curly-haired man walked over and pointed at the woman who was still slumped on the ground, saying, "Boss Bai, right? Perfect timing. Did you see that? My aunt's family built a new house a few months ago, and they bought the building materials from your Huading. But the new house collapsed as soon as it was completed, before they even had a chance to move in. My uncle was in the house at the time, and his leg was broken. He's still in the hospital now."
"The house is worth over a million yuan, and someone has been injured. Mr. Bai, you have to give us an explanation!"
Bai Kaixuan listened patiently before asking, "Was your uncle's house built entirely with materials from Huading?"
"Of course, whether it's the steel bars, cement, concrete, or eco-friendly bricks, they're all from Huading," Curly said with absolute certainty. "Boss Bai, my uncle and aunt are honest people. They worked hard all their lives to save up a little bit of wealth, and they spent it all on the new house. Now look what's happened, it's all gone, and they're even injured. They might be crippled for life!"
"We came here to demand an explanation, but your company's manager has the nerve to say that we're accusing your company, and has security guards blocking us from entering and refusing to talk to us! I'm like, is your company really that powerful? We bought substandard products that almost resulted in a death, and you're just so indifferent?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at the woman and gave her a wink.
The woman immediately slapped the ground with both hands and wailed loudly, "Oh my god, how are we supposed to live?! Our whole family is in debt for hundreds of thousands of yuan because of this house. Now our husband is disabled, how are we going to survive!"
"This damned, heartless company is a killer! They kill people without a second thought, selling shoddy products and ripping people off... Everyone, please tell me, shouldn't this kind of company go bankrupt?"
Hearing the woman's cries, Bai Kaixuan couldn't help but frown.
Although he could tell at a glance that the woman was acting, the onlookers had no idea.
This whole mess has really ruined Huading's reputation.
Huading is currently relying on small, private clients to stay afloat. As a result, who would dare to buy Huading's materials when building a new house in the future?
Bai Kaixuan's mind raced as he tried to find a solution.
It's impossible for them to simply admit defeat and offer compensation.
This confirms that the problem lies with Huading Building Materials.
If you stubbornly refuse to pay, the other party will continue to harass you, and the impact will only escalate.
He had noticed that some people around him were filming with their phones, and some were even live-streaming.
He was well aware of the power of the media, and if things weren't handled properly, Huading would be in real danger.
“Brother, calm down.” He quickly came up with an idea and said to Curly, “It’s too noisy here. Send two or three representatives to my office to talk and try to resolve this matter reasonably. What do you think?”
"Let's talk inside?" Curly-haired man frowned. "Why do we need to talk inside? What, Mr. Bai, do you think this is something that can't be brought to light? If we're going to talk, let's talk here, with everyone as witnesses!"
"Yes, let's talk right here! Why hide it from everyone?"
"Are you feeling guilty? If you are, that's easy to solve—pay compensation!"
"The house is worth 1.5 million, my uncle broke his leg and lost his ability to work. He's the breadwinner of the family, so 1 million in compensation isn't unreasonable, is it? There's also our lost wages, and my aunt's compensation for emotional distress, totaling 500,000. Add it all up to 3 million..."
Hearing these words, Bai Kaixuan was completely bewildered.
At this moment, Pi Yangyang, Tie Niu, and Lan Bowen had also arrived nearby, but they did not get out of the car and instead watched this scene from a distance.
Pi Yangyang also wanted to see how Bai Kaixuan would handle this crisis.
However, before Bai Kaixuan could speak, Bai Simiao angrily said, "Three million? I think you're all money-hungry! Don't you even know where you are? This is my Bai family's company! Do you think the Bai family is someone who can be ripped off like this?"
