“Private property?’


    Renee red at the man with a frown.


    The man was wearing a security guard uniform. He should be a staff member responsible for guarding


    this 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, thisnd has been included within the scope of expropriation, which


    makes 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 humannguage? 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 of


    no 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 causing


    trouble, I’ll call for backup.”


    The security guard took out a walkie-talkie and said into it, “Headquarters,e in. Someone’s causing


    trouble. Please send backup immediately. Over.”


    “Stop being unreasonable! I told you, this house belongs to my friend! How can you chase her away


    from 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 the


    owner of this vi. 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…”


    The security guard’s expression softened a little. “Like I told you, this piece ofnd has been


    expropriated for the construction of a garbage treatment nt. Construction is nned to start at the


    end of this month. You came back just in time. You’re the only homeowner who hasn’t signed the


    expropriation agreement. Please sign it when you have the time.”


    Renee’s expression immediately turned serious. She asked, “This is a high- end residential area. Why


    would a garbage treatment nt suddenly be built here? Who made the decision?”


    ‘The higher ups, of course. The garbage treatment nt is a municipal engineering project, designed


    based on reasonable city nning andyout… This area used to be a residential area, but everybody


    has moved out in recent years. The direction of the city’s development n for the next 10 years is


    “expanding to the north and the west”, so thend here will no longer increase in value. That’s why a


    garbage treatment nt will be built here.”


    The security guard spoke confidently.


    Although he was only amon folk, he had the chance to hear about things like national affairs and


    urban nning, 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 are


    gonna demolish the house my friend grew up in that contains countless precious memories, then build


    a garbage treatment nt 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 without


    permission. If you really are the homeowner, you better sign the expropriation agreement before it’s too


    late. That way, you can at least get somepensation.”


    ‘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 nning Department would always be greater than the power of


    homeowners.


    “I see.”
