Chapter 186:122, Lin Mo VS Chen Shanhe!_6
Although they might not be able to find out anything for the time being, once
they were targeted, whatever Lin Mo did next would surely be hindered.
This was something Lin Mo did not want to see.
By the afternoon, Lin Mo had visited some companies that were known to be under Chen Shanhe’s name, including the headquarters of Lvkai Group and some investment companies.
The interactions were simple, with no in-depth conversations.
After checking these areas where he might obtain information, Lin Mo arrived at Kundahua Mansion community, located in the suburbs of North City District.
It was the place mentioned by the system’s intelligence yesterday, where a large number of owners were expected to cause trouble today.
Moreover, according to the previous intelligence, Lin Mo also knew a piece of news, which was that the investor of Kundahua Mansion was a shell company under Chen Shanhe, which had already filed for bankruptcy two years ago when the construction stopped.
Through a series of maneuvers, Chen Shanhe had made a fortune and severely exploited a wave of investors, leaving behind only notorious unfinished buildings in the North City District.
Lin Mo had previously lived in the North City District and had heard about this community.
The location of Kundahua Mansion was very good, with a large supermarket nearby, as well as public elementary and middle schools.
Although it was a bit far from the subway station, talcing a bus for a few stops would get you there in about ten minutes, which in a large international city like Rakshasa City, wasn’t really troublesome.
Most importantly, the promotion was done very well, with news that in the next five years, Rakshasa City was going to develop this area vigorously, even potentially opening a subway line!
The price at launch was explosive, only 32,500 per square meter, and for those buying a large apartment over 140 square meters, a parking spot was included as a gift.
With such pricing and promotion, it was very attractive; before the launch, there were various activities to recognize the investors, and once on sale, the units sold very quickly, with the first batch of properties snapped up in no time.
For the second and third phases of the project, there were even customers who had to beg the sales managers for the privilege to buy an apartment.
When Lin Mo had passed by this community before, he had also often daydreamed about how wonderful it would be to live here with his wife and children.
He and Li Jinwen had even visited the show apartment here.
Back then, if he had the money, Lin Mo would have been tempted and would probably have bought a place here too!
If that had been the case…
Without activating the system, Lin Mo’s entire life might have been ruined!
Not only would he be without a house, but he would also have to pay the mortgage every month!
Just thinking about it was somewhat terrifying!
When Lin Mo arrived at the entrance of the Kundahua Mansion community, he immediately saw banners with white backgrounds and red lettering everywhere, as well as the sales office that had already been vandalized beyond recognition.
The scene was quite shocking.
Just looking at it made one’s heart ache.
Lin Mo parked his car across the street from the community.
What happened next was similar to the rights protection scenes he often scrolled through on TikTok.
The scene was sensational, with everyone hysterically shouting.
Lin Mo was deeply moved.
A few months earlier, he had been a member of the lower echelons of society.
He could feel the helplessness and despair.
If such a thing had happened to him a few months ago, he probably would have completely broken down in desperation!
It lasted for about an hour.
Then, after persistent persuasion from the relevant departments, the protesters quieted down.
Another half an hour passed.
Most people had left, leaving behind a pile of trash at the scene.
“Phew…”
When the surroundings gradually cleared, Lin Mo got out of the car and walked with heavy steps toward the abandoned community.
Although it had not snowed today, the wind was still cold against the skin, matching his heavy mood.
The people who came to make trouble today, theoretically, were doing better than Lin Mo once did.
At least they could afford to buy houses.
However, reality was just too oppressive.
In the face of powerful forces, even when united, they seemed so fragile and vulnerable.
Moreover, they probably didn’t know even now that from the very beginning, there had been no accident at all; the community was never meant to be completed, because the profits from an abandoned project were much higher than from regular sales.
And what was even more tragic was that the real estate developer they were attacking was just a scapegoat meant to take the blame.
The real beneficiary was going to Minghai Island tomorrow to fish leisurely in the sea breeze.
Currently, inside Kundahua Mansion, there was no running water, no electricity, and the roads had not been paved. Plus, after yesterday’s snow, everything was nothing but wet puddles.
In the dim light, Lin Mo could only walk in painfully with the faint light of his mobile phone.
After about an hour wandering around, Lin Mo saw many people.
They were living in unfinished buildings without glass, doors, or utilities, exposed to the wind from all sides.
The better-off ones had tents, sleeping bags, solar panels to collect energy, and storage batteries.
The less fortunate just laid their mats in the corners, huddled tightly inside their blankets.
Men, children, elderly, women, there was a mixture of individuals…
They all had different experiences, came from different places, some from out of town and some local, but what was identical was the dim look in their eyes, a look that revealed total disillusionment with life’s possibilities.
After striving and struggling all their lives, when they finally realized their dream, they discovered that it was all just a scam!
