"This..." A bitter taste filled Ma Wancai's mouth.
Master Chen said he would buy it, but would the Ba Dao Gang actually dare to take his silver?
He feared the Ba Dao Gang would work their fingers to the bone, only to have done it all for Master Chen's benefit.
"Master Chen, this humble one must report this matter to the Gang Leader," Ma Wancai replied respectfully.
"As you wish," Chen Cheng said flatly, opening the door and walking into his courtyard.
Even after the Chen family's courtyard gate closed again, Ma Wancai remained standing there, stunned.
"I-Incense Master Ma, are we still going to Wang Laoshu's house?" Lu Wubai asked in a low voice.
Of the twenty-three households in Locust Tree Lane, only Wang Laoshu's family and five or six others had yet to sell their homes.
Just a moment ago, Lu Wubai had given Ma Wancai several ideas, guaranteeing they could force these last few families to move out obediently.
But now, Master Chen's sudden return had shattered their plans.
