Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Auctioned Assets

Chen Yu heaved a long sigh and took two steps forward.

“Old man, you said that the food from my restaurant killed someone. I need you to bring out the evidence, or have the victim come here, and I will fully compensate.”

The elder seemed not to expect Chen Yu to be so assertive and was momentarily stunned.

His voice also started to falter.

Just then, two other elders of similar age strode over furiously, and immediately pulled out several death certificates from their clothes and threw them in front of Chen Yu.

“How can you be so heartless? Your shop has killed people, and you’re still acting as if nothing’s wrong here. Hurry up and discuss the compensation, or we’ll contact the relevant people to smash your shop.”

Chen Yu’s brow furrowed tightly; he understood that these people were simply here to make trouble.

And judging by the direction they came from, they must be residents of the building right in front of him.

Actually, Chen Yu knew when he moved in that this building was a mixed-use complex, but since its completion, not many people have bought the residential spaces, so most are used for commercial purposes.

The entire ground floor was leased out to a supermarket and several grocery stores.

Previously, there were also several restaurants here, but after Chen Yu’s shop opened, these restaurants moved away quite perceptively.

“Ling Ling, help me scan this building!”

Chen Yu sensed something was off and immediately gave the command to his system.

Before long, a flood of information entered Chen Yu’s mind.

He was astonished to find that the building in front of him was hollow, with only a few residents, and even their homes were unfinished.

Chen Yu’s pupils dilated slightly, seeing that there must be something fishy going on.

At this moment, about a dozen vans suddenly arrived, and a hundred or so people got off the vehicles.

These people were all in uniforms, ranging from various departments, and the man leading them was even in a forensic officer’s uniform.

“Mr. Chen, we just received a report that the food sold in your restaurant is substandard! We have already examined the victim’s food before coming here and found that the food in their stomach came from your establishment. Please come with us immediately.”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but feel amused. Not to mention whether these guys’ uniforms fit properly, but some of their uniforms were so poorly made, you could grab a handful for less than a hundred yuan on the street.

“If I’m not mistaken, you must have been sent by the developer of this building,” he said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was taken aback, with a few even subconsciously stepping back, clearly feeling guilty.

The leader tried to steady his breathing, trying his best to remain calm.

“Don’t worry about who sent us. The fact is you’ve broken the law, and now you must come with us for our investigation, and your shop will be closed for ten days.”

Chen Yu had already learned everything when he received the building’s information. Although the building was completed, most of the property rights had not been sold.

With current policies, they had to change the building’s industrial structure or dispose of it as quickly as possible, or it would just sit unsold.

Thus, the developer behind all this had no choice but to resort to such measures, finding residents of the building and some riffraff to act as relevant personnel to drive Chen Yu out and take over his shop.

This way, they could use the reputation Chen Yu had established to open a hotel and then bag all the shops along the street, facilitating a big deal—perhaps even engaging in stock speculation to cash out!
