“Private property?’
Renee glared at the man with a frown.
The man was wearing a security guard uniform. He should be a staff member responsible for guardingthis area.
“What are you talking about? This is my friend’s house. How could it be your private property?”
Leia, who was notorious for her violent temper, yelled at the security guard, “We’re going in right now.Get out of the way!”
“I don’t care who owns this house, this land has been included within the scope of expropriation, whichmakes it a private property. Our boss said that no one can enter without his permission.”
The security guard straightened up and replied fiercely.
“Hey, do you understand human language? Do you want me to beat you up?”
Leia rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was about to fight with the security guard.
She was not that good at fighting, but she knew Renee was. With Renee by her side, she was afraid ofno one!
‘You can beat me up, but even if you kill me today, I can’t let you in. This is my job. If you keep causingtrouble, I’ll call for backup.”
The security guard took out a walkie-talkie and said into it, “Headquarters, come in. Someone’s causingtrouble. Please send backup immediately. Over.”
“Stop being unreasonable! I told you, this house belongs to my friend! How can you chase her awayfrom her own house? This is preposterous!”
Leia could not stand it anymore. She walked up to the guard angrily. She was going to hit him for real.
Renee was much calmer. She stopped Leia and spoke politely to the security guard. “Sorry, I’m theowner of this villa. I’ve been away for several years. Can you tell me exactly what happened?”
“Oh, so you’re the homeowner that our boss couldn’t reach…”novelbin
The security guard’s expression softened a little. “Like I told you, this piece of land has beenexpropriated for the construction of a garbage treatment plant. Construction is planned to start at theend of this month. You came back just in time. You’re the only homeowner who hasn’t signed theexpropriation agreement. Please sign it when you have the time.”
Renee’s expression immediately turned serious. She asked, “This is a high- end residential area. Whywould a garbage treatment plant suddenly be built here? Who made the decision?”
‘The higher ups, of course. The garbage treatment plant is a municipal engineering project, designedbased on reasonable city planning and layout… This area used to be a residential area, but everybodyhas moved out in recent years. The direction of the city’s development plan for the next 10 years is“expanding to the north and the west”, so the land here will no longer increase in value. That’s why agarbage treatment plant will be built here.”
The security guard spoke confidently.
Although he was only a common folk, he had the chance to hear about things like national affairs andurban planning, so he knew more than the average person.
Leia had heard enough. She said angrily, “If I understand correctly, you’re saying that you guys aregonna demolish the house my friend grew up in that contains countless precious memories, then builda garbage treatment plant on top of it.”
‘Yup, that’s right.”
The security guard nodded and said, “This area is now closed to the public. No one can go in withoutpermission. If you really are the homeowner, you better sign the expropriation agreement before it’s toolate. That way, you can at least get some compensation.”
‘What if I refuse?”
Renee asked coldly.
‘Then we would have no choice but to treat your house as an illegal building and demolish it by force.”
The security guard spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, the power of the Municipal Planning Department would always be greater than the power ofhomeowners.
“I see.”
