    More than two hundred years ago, the only building here was the manor of a noble family from France. It was located near Tao Zongheng's residence, only a few hundred meters away. Now it has completely changed its appearance and is now a commercial district across the street.  .  The scale of that ancient map is very large, and Wolfe may have made a mistake in reconstructing the ancient topography, and ended up finding the street side.

    Could there be any mysterious treasure under the foundation of the ancient manor more than two hundred years ago?  A few people had just made the latest discovery when something happened across the street.  That day, they were sitting at home studying ancient drawings to confirm the final conclusion, when they suddenly heard the roar of machines in the distance.  Tao Zongheng walked to the balcony and saw that a commercial building was being demolished across the street. Three high-power hydraulic demolition machines were working hard.  It was only one street away, and the loud noise and vibrations made people's heartbeats seem to become irregular.

    Tao Zongheng hurriedly asked his neighbors to find out what happened.  During this time, Tao Zongheng was investigating Wolfe's demon cultivator gang, but ignored the things that were close at hand.  The commercial area across the street was acquired by a consortium not long ago. It is said that it will be renovated and renovated to better serve the community.

    The renovation has been going on for a while. It had been quiet before. Why was the house suddenly demolished today?  According to relevant local regulations, it is not allowed for three such demolition machines to work in residential areas at the same time. Not to mention the vibration of the building, even the noise is unbearable.  Cheng Tianle was sitting in the house and could feel the window glass shaking. It all happened suddenly.

    In fact, there is no need to go to the balcony. Cheng Tianle can clearly sense what happens at such a close distance.  Tao Zongheng returned to the house with a gloomy expression. Everyone had a question in their minds - how could it be such a coincidence?  The scope of the demolition site included the cinema across the street, dozens of businesses and a hotel, which happened to be on the site of the ancient manor they had just identified!

    "Wulf found the wrong place. Could it be that another group of forces had also seen the ancient map or knew more about the inside story, and happened to find the right one?"  But why are they making such a big noise again? It seems they can't wait to demolish that commercial area.  Shen Sibao frowned and said, "Could this be a coincidence?"

    Tao Zongheng: "It is possible that the surname is a coincidence, but if something goes wrong, it must be a monster."

    ? Developing and transforming that commercial area is indeed profitable. In recent decades, due to the gathering of immigrants and expatriates from all over the world, the area has become more and more popular. At first, there were many investment immigrants, and later there were many skilled immigrants.  Where there is popularity, there are business opportunities. Transforming that piece of land into a more modern and larger commercial district will of course bring huge profits, but it is not easy to complete the procedures.

    "But what Tao Zongheng said was abnormal, not only the location to be demolished and renovated, but also the unusual construction speed.  People living in contemporary China may have long been accustomed to clean demolition and reconstruction. As long as the problem of nail-biting households is solved, an old building can be moved to the ground quickly. According to the new plan, a new building complex can be built in a short time.  It will rise from the ground.

    But this is not the case in many other places in the world. Even building a new road requires a long time of wrangling from various parties, and it may not be implemented for more than ten years. Even if construction finally starts, the construction speed is quite slow.  Moreover, the labor costs here are very expensive. Probably because of the leisure and lazy habits, few people are willing to engage in heavy manual labor. If they have the energy, they might as well go to the gym and sweat.

    But the building across the street was demolished at the drop of a hat, and the efficiency was so high, which is obviously an anomaly in this place.

    While several people were discussing in the house, surrounding residents kept calling to complain. The police came and then left, but the construction did not stop.  Because the construction party had a permit issued by the government, after consulting the relevant city government departments, the police received an affirmative answer that they were allowed to start construction, and of course they could not handle it further.

    Tao Zongheng also answered several calls, and then said: "I'm sorry, I'm still the chairman of the owners' committee here. I have some things to deal with. Please help yourself first."

    Tao Zongheng convened a meeting with representatives of the owners, while Cheng Tianle and others were watching the changes, while the construction across the street continued.  In the past few days, residents of this neighborhood have been complaining to the city government, but with no results, which makes Shen Sibao and Cheng Tianle feel very puzzled.

    ¡°But in places like Canada, all kinds of protests are very common. All you need to do is register with the city government and organize according to regulations.  For example, some people protest against animal cruelty and do not feed pets with special feed; others protest against restrictions on same-surname behavior, and receive a blank stare when being intimate in public; some even protest against human spacecraft destroying the tranquility on Mars and so on.

    Tao Zongheng organized the surrounding property owners to put up slogans and banners, held protests and demonstrations on the balconies of each home and around the construction site, and distributed protest flyers at intersections.??Their slogans are also unique. The main slogan is - we have the right to live like human beings in our own homes; we have the right to exist safely in our own homes; we have the right to reject any threats and enjoy our lives.

    Cheng Tianle¡¯s cultivation level has surpassed that of all sentient beings. When he comes here and meets these people, he can understand the state of mind of most local people to a certain extent.  The sense of distance between people here is very strong, and a kind of polite indifference is maintained. Many people advocate extreme individualism. If you want to organize these people to do something, you must have clear common personal interests or  demands.

    This neighborhood in Burnaby City was once very famous. More than ten years ago, a Chinese businessman named Lai committed a serious crime and fled to Canada to seek asylum. He once lived here.  Tao Zongheng organized this demonstration and waited for TV newspapers and other media to cover and report on it, thereby putting pressure on the other party.  The result was a bit surprising. The local media remained silent on the matter, and no one reported or publicized the matter.

    ¡°If this incident happened on the other side of the world, it might arouse strong interest from large international news agencies, and they might even conduct special follow-up reports.  But it happened here, as if not even a splash was made.

    The reason is that, on the surface, people here may have been accustomed to various protests. For those who have nothing to do with the matter, it may feel like seeing someone protesting that the spacecraft disturbed Mars.  Although there is a lot of noise and movement at the construction site, the blocks in this area are relatively far apart, and only nearby residents are disturbed. Most of them are foreign investment immigrants and skilled immigrants, and most of them are Chinese.

    In the eyes of more unrelated people, this is not their matter, and the construction party has obtained a permit issued by the municipal government, and the police have also conducted inquiries and processing, so this matter has no further value of attention.  Of course, protesters have the freedom to protest. Holding signs and pulling slogans is a right given to them by law. They can protest as long as they like.

    However, the deeper reasons may not be easy to explain clearly.  Because this incident happened here, and an official construction permit was obtained, if the local mainstream media pays attention to and promotes it, it will not allow its readers or viewers to demonstrate some kind of moral or spiritual superiority, and it will also affect the placement of advertisements.  Business is not more attractive, and it is not in line with the "politically correct" values ??of mainstream society.

    But this incident did not go unnoticed. The Vancouver City Council election was less than a year away. No one from the TV station or newspaper came, but a candidate for council did.  This person is a Chinese lady named Chen Mimei.

    The majority of the residents in this neighborhood are Chinese, and they all happen to care about the same thing. This is also her best chance to promote her campaign. She can use this to leave a deep positive impression on everyone, so that they can vote for her in future elections.  Ms. Chen Mimei¡¯s assistant distributed campaign leaflets to the protesters, and then said that everyone can respond to Ms. Chen if they have any demands. Ms. Chen is willing to become their public representative and invites everyone to vote for her in the future.

    Ms. Chen really did something practical. She convened a symposium with owner representatives, collected everyone's opinions and compiled them into a document, and then negotiated with the legal advisor of the construction party.  Although there was still no result in the end, she took advantage of the situation and launched a campaign fundraiser in this neighborhood.

    Cheng Tianle and Xiao Shao certainly did not participate in community residents' activities, but they also saw clearly what happened and all kinds of characters in secret.  On this day, Tao Zongheng came back and said: "Mr. Cheng, do you think that woman named Chen Mimei is a demon cultivator? I always feel that this person is very demonic and evil. She has only one chance to show her face in the past two days."  I didn¡¯t miss it, but I doubt she has reached any agreement with the construction company.¡±

    Cheng Tianle shook his head and said: "She is either a demon cultivator or a person. But there are a few foremen at the construction site who are genuine demon cultivators.  I now understand why they want to demolish that building.  Look for things underground.¡±

    Tao Zongheng once said that anything abnormal must be a monster. Not only was the speed of construction abnormal, but the construction workers were also very interesting. They were all white Saxons and there was no one of color.  Among the foremen in charge at the construction site, there were actually three dog demons.  Tao Zongheng had never met those three people at close range, and his ability to distinguish demon cultivators was far inferior to Cheng Tianle's, so he did not notice them, but Cheng Tianle sensed them clearly.

    The group really wanted to find something underground. At first, they did not alarm nearby residents and just excavated indoors. Later, they found that if they continued digging, they would hit the main support structure of the building and the house would collapse, so they started to demolish it.  , and it moves very quickly.  Tao Zongheng frowned when he heard this and said, "We just eliminated a gang that committed evil, why did another group of demon cultivators come out?"

    Cheng Tianle: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. There are always various demon cultivators appearing in the world. Friends Tao, aren't you also a demon cultivator? We came here to see?Not only demons, but also all kinds of people. These demon cultivators play various roles in the human world.  "

    Tao Zongheng: "I also found out another thing. The legal advisor of the construction party is the same person as Wolfe's legal advisor. They are both a lawyer named Bill."
