You Demolished My Home? Don't Sleep Tonight, or the Ghosts Will Come Knocking

In the heart of Nanjiang City, a century-old courtyard house is slated for demolition as part of the city’s development plans.

Even with the compensation offer reaching the astronomical sum of 100 million yuan, Jiang Yun, the owner of the courtyard, refuses to budge.

At last, the demolition office runs out of patience. While Jiang Yun is away, they move straight to forcibly demolishing and redeveloping the property.

Demolition office: “We know you’re away, so we’re just letting you know that your courtyard has been marked for forced demolition. Work starts today.”

Away from home, Jiang Yun takes the call, completely baffled.

“My courtyard is suppressing a million evil ghosts. You want to tear it down? Fine! Just don’t sleep too soundly tonight. We’ll see if a ghost comes knocking at your door!”

He hangs up, and the government officials and online commenters immediately mock him.

At one order, the demolition begins!

But halfway through the work, dark clouds suddenly blanket the sky and thunder rumbles.

It only lasts a little while. Soon, the clouds clear, and nothing happens.

Demolition office: “Enough with the spooky act! Keep demolishing, and clear it all out!”

So, with the efforts of more than a hundred workers, the courtyard is completely demolished.

They think the matter is over. But that night…

Residents all across Nanjiang City hear strange knocking at their doors…
