at this time.
Many forces expressed their feelings:
"This black dragon reacted really fast; it's only been a short time and it's already launched a thunderous attack."
"This has caused a huge headache for the three major real estate agencies, and even Mr. Wang from Hui Ri Real Estate was taken away by the police for questioning."
"Why do I feel it's so-so? Although it seems like a big fuss, it hasn't had a fatal impact on the three major real estate companies. It just delays business for a couple of days, and the boss has to come forward and humbly explain. As long as things return to normal, everything will be fine..."
"I don't think that's Black Dragon's style either. It's unlikely that openly opposing him would be so much ado about nothing."
"You don't understand, do you? Chen Yu has powerful backers. Although Black Dragon isn't afraid of him, he doesn't dare to offend him too much. He can just vent his anger. This way, Black Dragon can save face without offending Chen Yu's backers. Both sides can save face."
"You're right..."
Many people clearly believe that this was retaliation by the Black Dragon Group, and that they were somewhat wary of Chen Yu's powerful backers, which is why they pulled this stunt. This would not only make the three major intermediaries lose face, but also let people know that the Black Dragon Group is vengeful.
But some people believe:
The Black Dragon Group is not one to back down from trouble...
Maybe something even more intense is yet to come...
.....
Headquarters of Heilong Group.
Zhu Zheng approached Qin Jiang, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, and said, "Brother Jiang! All three major real estate agencies are in chaos. Today, more than five hundred people have gathered in front of each agency. Chen Yu personally intervened to resolve the situation, and Wang Hui was taken away by the police after a physical altercation..."
Qin Jiang: "Not enough, continue!"
Zhu Zheng: "Understood!"
He turned around, took out his phone, and sent a message to Sun Yuan:
"Increase the heat and continue!"
That's right! What appears to be a grand and dramatic Black Dragon retaliation action today is merely an appetizer. Tomorrow, the storm will rage even more fiercely, and this is just the first step for the Black Dragon Group; there will be a second and a third step to come...
...
That night.
Online posts about major real estate agencies in Songjiang about to abscond have not decreased but rather increased:
[We've all been fooled; the three major real estate agencies are really in trouble... They're using delaying tactics now...]
[Is what you said upstairs true? I went there today, and what Mr. Chen said seemed so true; there was no problem with the certificate...]
[No problem? No way! Their accounts are empty... My cousin's sister-in-law works in finance at You Real Estate, and she said their accounts are completely empty... They haven't had any payments in a long time... They're relying entirely on new customers for down payments now.]
[As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire; how could three major real estate agencies simultaneously run into trouble if there were no problems at all?]
[What should we do...? Should we still go tomorrow? If we do, what happens? Do we still need to make a down payment?]
[Of course we'll ask for our down payment back! Don't you know that? Other provinces don't hold down down payments at all. We've just made a huge fuss today... Doesn't he say he didn't misappropriate the down payment? If you're so capable, make him show us his company's account details so we can see if they actually have the money.]
[The person upstairs is right! They should show us the company's accounts...we can't just make empty promises...]
We have to go again tomorrow... We can't let our hard-earned money go to waste...

The online discussion immediately became heated again, much more lively than yesterday.
after all:
Yesterday, not everyone knew that the three major real estate agencies were going to abscond. In 2014, many people did not go online often, and they were usually busy and would only watch TV dramas after get off work. However, with hundreds of people gathering and causing trouble at the headquarters of the three major real estate agencies yesterday, word of mouth spread the news to countless people in Songjiang. Many people discussed this matter while at work, and those who did not know the situation before learned about it through friends, colleagues, and relatives and then went online to check the details.
This caused a surge in online buzz.
Furthermore, the staff of the Heilongjiang website fueled the fire, causing this popularity to continue to rise and intensify.
The hype didn't subside even in the latter half of the night.
It's important to understand that these people discussing this are all homebuyers. In 2014, most people bought houses primarily for weddings, and these were wedding homes! For ordinary people, it basically meant emptying their savings to afford one. Many parents even borrowed a lot of money from relatives to help them with the down payment. Now, they're being told that the real estate agency might go bankrupt, and their down payment might be gone.
Who could stand this!
sleep!
Who can sleep now!
If things go wrong, it could lead to financial ruin and broken families. Countless people kept refreshing the information hoping to see good news, but there was no good news at all. In fact, the three major agencies also planned to stir up public opinion online that they were alright, but they lacked organization and discipline and only let their employees clarify the situation. However, the employees were too lazy to do it, and they were also a little afraid of the black dragon. The number of people who made the clarification was limited, so it had no effect on the online wave.
This resulted in countless identical posts appearing that day:
I must go to the agency tomorrow and demand an explanation.
If I don't go tomorrow, my down payment will be gone.
[They'll only hand over the down payment if we make a big scene; that's our hard-earned money...]
...
The next day.
early morning!
Just when the director of You Real Estate thought everything was normal, he was stunned as soon as he arrived at the headquarters.
Then I saw it.
Instead of quiet, the headquarters entrance was packed with several times more people than yesterday, probably no less than several thousand. Judging from the number, it seemed that all the customers who hadn't finished their paperwork for buying a house had come, and most likely they had brought their families. They were all shouting at the entrance to hand over their down payments, their voices were ridiculously loud, and there were even more people gathered outside to watch the spectacle. The scene was absolutely deafening, a sea of people. Among them, one boy shouted the loudest, his voice cracked, and his face turned red. It was Yu Lin!
After returning home from yesterday's events and seeing the information online, his girlfriend was furious. She packed her bags and left, telling him before she left: "Yu Lin! Listen to this: you were the one who said there was definitely no problem with this house. If you hadn't insisted, we might have even lost our down payment. Now look what's happened... so many people are saying the real estate deal is going to fail. Do you think we can get our down payment back? Yu Lin! I don't care about this anymore, but if we lose the house, we might as well not get married..."
This time.
Yu Lin panicked completely. He hadn't slept all night and rushed over before dawn, even holding a banner with the words "[Give Me Back My Hard-Earned Money]" in large, bright red characters.
...
Upon seeing this, the director turned and ran, but Yu Lin spotted him and shouted, "The director is over there..."
Whoosh...
Many people caught up with him...
Director: Don't chase me...(ᵒ̤̑ ₀̑ ᵒ̤̑)wow!*✰
...
at the same time.
Not only Yu, Hui Ri, and Daye are facing the same situation, but the number of people involved is increasing and the situation is getting worse.
The Black Dragon's revenge... has escalated!!!
