Afterwards, Wu Hao piloted the aircraft for over three hours in the high altitude before finally arriving at his hometown. Since he had returned by directly piloting the stealth aircraft, he had to find a place to park it before heading home.

However, this time, Wu Hao didn’t go to retrieve his car parked in a certain parking lot in the city. Instead, he flew the aircraft directly to a mountain forest not far from his home.

“It seems I need to build a secret landing spot at home. Otherwise, I’ll have to worry about parking the aircraft every time I come back.” Wu Hao contemplated to himself after settling the aircraft, even though his family’s current villa was already large and luxurious enough.

However, compared to those renowned estates in the world, both in size and facilities, it was still several levels below. In the future resort construction plan, although Wu Hao wouldn’t touch the original villa, he would definitely allocate an area nearby to build a true estate.

After all, now that he had contracted all the land in Sanxi Village, there was no obstacle to separately building an estate for himself during the resort construction. As for the issue of the property rights lasting only 80 years, it could simply be disregarded.

After all, no one could predict what changes would occur in society and policies after 80 years. So, whether the house would permanently belong to an individual didn’t really matter.

After settling the aircraft, Wu Hao returned home. His parents were surprised that Wu Hao hadn’t driven, but due to some morning matters, they didn’t dwell on the issue.

“Son, how are you planning to handle the matters of those few households in the village?” Wu Hao’s mother asked, and after some thought, Wu Hao replied, “Let’s see how the situation unfolds before deciding specifically.”

“Alright, it’s up to you to decide. Try not to create too much tension, after all, we’re all part of the same village.” Wu Hao’s parents placed significant importance on social relationships and weren’t the kind to nitpick over trivial matters.

“I understand.” Wu Hao nodded. He naturally understood his parents’ intentions. In fact, he had similar thoughts. It’s just that when he initially compensated the majority of the households in the village, these people didn’t agree to such conditions. If he had negotiated with these few households back then and they had demanded a high price, Wu Hao would have eventually agreed. It wouldn’t have been a big deal for him to lose a few million, but it might cause discontent among the other residents.

So, Wu Hao chose to keep these few households at arm’s length for a while. However, he didn’t expect that these people now seemed a bit anxious, even bringing in some local tough guys.

Later, after a brief conversation with his parents, Wu Sancai, who had received a call earlier, also came to his house. He briefed Wu Hao on the morning’s events.

After hearing Wu Sancai’s account, Wu Hao understood the situation with those few troublemakers. It turned out that these troublemakers weren’t from the city or the town but were brought back by Yao Xinggui’s son from outside the village.

Of course, Yao Xinggui’s son, Yao Kaiyin, and his ‘friends’ weren’t upright citizens either, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been labeled as troublemakers by the villagers at first glance.

Half an hour later, Wu Hao and Wu Sancai met with these dissatisfied residents at the village committee. “You caused a ruckus at my place this morning. Are you planning to agree to the previous demolition compensation demands?” Wu Hao asked calmly, getting straight to the point.

But before Wu Hao could finish speaking, the leader among them, a young man with a shifty appearance, started clamoring impatiently, “What previous demolition compensation? Let me tell you the truth, without 5 million, don’t even think about touching my house and land. Wu Hao, since your family is so rich now, 5 million shouldn’t be a big deal for you!”

This young man was none other than Yao Xinggui’s son, Yao Kaiyin. Wu Hao naturally recognized him, although he hadn’t seen him in years. They grew up in the same village, and Yao Kaiyin was only a couple of years younger than him, so even though Wu Hao hadn’t seen him since he went to university, he wasn’t unfamiliar.

Beside Yao Kaiyin were three other young men dressed similarly, all appearing to be of similar age.

At this moment, Wu Hao didn’t show any reaction to Yao Kaiyin’s bold demand, nor did he pay him any attention. Instead, he turned to the other villagers present and asked, “Is this what you all think?”

Seeing this, the other villagers glanced at each other, and then one of them spoke up, “Yes, that’s what we think.”

“I can offer each of you 5 million as compensation for occupying your land and houses. But let me make it clear beforehand, once you receive this compensation, you won’t be entitled to any other benefits from the village in the future.” Wu Hao’s tone was indifferent, as if offering them 5 million was as trivial as offering 500.

However, in reality, it was indeed the case. With Wu Hao’s current perspective, not even 5 million, but even 500 billion wouldn’t impress him much. After all, with his current abilities and possessions, money was just a bunch of numbers to him, and he didn’t rely on it much.

At this moment, upon hearing that Wu Hao had agreed to compensate each household with 5 million, all the villagers felt a slight relief. One of them immediately spoke up eagerly, “No problem, as long as you give us 5 million, you can do whatever you want with the house and land.”

In fact, these villagers had no intention of staying in the village and waiting for the newly built houses. In their view, with 5 million, they could easily buy a better house in the city or another town.

Although the villas that Wu Hao had built for each household in the village would easily fetch over two to three million if they were in the city, the geographical location of Sanxi Village was far inferior to the city. Even after Wu Hao completed the construction of the resort in the future, it couldn’t match the prosperity of the city.

Moreover, these villagers had almost been subjected to disdainful looks from the other villagers in the village during this period due to their disagreement with the unified demolition demand. With this factor in mind, they naturally had no intention of continuing to stay in the village and be neighbors with the others.
