Huang Jianghua, who was sitting in the driver's seat, stood up and opened the door for Li Yong while yelling, "Xiao Li, hurry."
Li Yong ran to the front of the car and before he got in, he did not forget to throw the metal rod in his hand at the people chasing after him. He got in the car and closed the door. His movements couldn't be any more agile and he was panting heavily.
"Xiao Li, are you alright?" Chen Xing, who was sitting in the backseat, glanced at Li Yong with concern.
"I'm fine. If these f * cking gangsters want to take me down, they'll have to go back and train for a few more years." Li Yong smiled and panted heavily as he spoke.
"It's good that you're fine." Chen Xing nodded.
"Secretary, we're driving off. Should we give Director-General Chang another call?" Huang Jianghua asked Chen Xing.
"Yes, call him." Chen Xing nodded.
After driving for a while, Chen Xing looked back to see that the gangsters did not chase after them again. They could vaguely see them cursing at their car, but they did not see them in the car.
"Xiao Gu, how's your injury?" Chen Xing suddenly remembered that Gu Panman was the one who was really injured.
"It's fine. It should just be a superficial wound." Gu Panman shook his head and smiled.
Upon hearing that, Chen Xing nodded with relief and looked at Lu Wei. "Lao Lu, I heard from Xiao Gu that you used to live in Jiangbin District?
Yes, I'm from Jiangbin District. This girl came to me at noon and said that the city wants to know more about the compensation agreement, so I told her everything. " Lu Wei looked at Gu Panman and smiled bitterly. "Girl, if you're lying to me, I'll be in deep trouble this time. I don't know how those f * cking people are going to cause me trouble. I even want to move at night."
"Lao Lu, don't worry. No one will dare to cause you trouble." Chen Xing's expression was ugly. He said in a deep voice, "Whoever dares to cause trouble for you, I will cause trouble for him."
Lu Wei looked at Chen Xing in surprise. He thought to himself that this young man was quite arrogant despite his young age. Lu Wei didn't dare to believe that they were the leaders of the city. However, now that things had escalated to this point, Lu Wei could only smile bitterly. There was no turning back for him. He had offended Li Wei and his gang, and now they knew that he had told others about the demolition. It would be a wonder if he would have a good time in the future. This was the result of being hot-headed. Lu Wei shook his head helplessly.
Lao Lu, can you tell me about the compensation for your demolition? Chen Xing looked at Lu Wei.
Now that things had come to this, there was nothing to hide. Lu Wei smiled bitterly. He still had some complaints about Gu Pannan in his words. Sister, you said that the leaders of the city are going to ask about this matter. I really believe you. I still hope that the leaders of the city can help us, the relocated households.
"Brother Lu, why do you think that he's not the leader of the city?" Gu Panman laughed. He was the leader of the city.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. I, Lao Lu, have really been fooled by you. Lu Wei shook his head and smiled. He started to talk about the demolition. "At that time, we were not satisfied with the compensation agreement given by the city and Xincheng Corporation. Many people refused to sign it, so those bastards went to the houses one by one to do the work. They said that they were doing the work, but it was actually a threat. Those who were afraid signed the agreement first. When the rest saw this, they didn't dare to be stubborn and signed the agreement. At that time, I didn't want to sign it, but there was a precedent. There was a family who refused to sign the agreement and was beaten up when they came back at night. They even said that if they didn't sign the agreement, they would be even more ruthless the next time. They would be sent to the hospital. After that, they called the police, but the police didn't care. When everyone saw the situation, they knew that the government and Xincheng Corporation were colluding. My wife was afraid of trouble and kept asking me to sign the agreement. I was worried that something might happen to my child, so I signed the agreement in the end."
Lu Wei started to talk about the past. At that time, most of the families who were going to be demolished had signed the agreement because of this reason. But after moving away, many of them were unwilling to accept it. The houses and land were the assets left by their parents. Why should they sell them off so cheaply? Many people were unwilling to accept this outcome. But when they thought about how everyone was just looking after their own families, they did not unite. So, someone took the lead and organized everyone to unite. They said that if everyone was united, they would not be afraid of the other party's actions. If they could not protest in the City, they would go to the Provincial Government. After that, they went to the City several times to protest, but it was useless. In the end, everyone was furious. Many people agreed to go to the Provincial Government. They did not believe that there would be no one there to stop them.
On that day, there were one or two hundred people who voluntarily agreed to put down their work and go to the Provincial Government. Everyone took their own cars and paid for their own travel expenses. They sat at the gate of the Provincial government for an hour or two. Lu Wei continued to say, "In advance, we had agreed that we would not take the initiative to make trouble when we went to the Provincial Government. We would just sit at the gate and not make trouble, just so that the leaders of the Provincial Government would pay attention to our affairs. Alas, we didn't expect that a large number of police officers would come and drive us back. After we came back, we thought that if we went to the Provincial Government to make trouble, the City Government would be afraid. We didn't expect that things would get worse. Many people's rented places were smashed by those f * cking gangsters for no reason. Some of them were even beaten up. One of them was beaten until he was disabled and was still in the hospital. Another one resisted more fiercely and was directly thrown into the labor camp. After the whole thing happened, many people were really scared. They felt that it was useless for everyone to unite.
In the end, they still ended up like this. Therefore, even a few of the leaders who were more active at the beginning stopped. They all had families and were afraid that something would happen. Now, no one dared to come out and say anything. Some people also came to warn them that if anyone knew about the demolition, no one was allowed to talk about it. If anyone talked about it, well, they didn't say what the consequences would be. They just took the person lying in the hospital and the person in the labor camp as an example and said that it would be worse than that.
Who would dare to come out again? "Chen Xing listened quietly to what Lu Wei said. He finally understood why the two families he had visited before directly asked them to leave after hearing that they had come to learn about the demolition. The son of the old man in the first family was even more emotional. He asked them to leave and not to harm them.
At this time, Chen Xing's face was as gloomy as the night. He didn't say anything, but he was actually not as calm as he looked. Previously, he had guessed that these families who had disappeared without a trace were threatened. Now, he had just verified his guess. However, after hearing it with his own ears, the anger in Chen Xing's heart kept rising.
You dare to stand out and say it? It must be hard for you to have the guts to do so. Chen Xing turned to look at Lu Wei. His eyes were much softer.
I don't have the guts. To put it bluntly, I'm stupid. When this girl said that the leaders of the city wanted to know about this matter and help us, the families who have been relocated, to seek justice, you see, I said it in a moment of impulse. Now, I regret it so much. Lu Wei shook his head and smiled. He looked a little self-deprecating.
Don't regret it. If I say that you'll be fine, then you'll be fine. Chen Xing smiled and patted him. He only smiled at Lu Wei. At this time, his eyes were actually cold.
The car had driven far away from the village in the urban-rural fringe. Chen Xing's phone rang. It was Chang Shengjun, asking where Chen Xing was now.
Chen Xing turned to look out of the window and motioned for Huang Jianghua to stop by the side of the road. It was late at night, and he was not very familiar with Wangshan Road. At this time, he didn't know where he was. He turned to look at Gu Panman. "Xiao Gu, where is this?"
"This is Qi Pan Road." Gu Panman replied.
"Yes," Chen Xing replied to Chang Shengjun. He hung up the phone, and his face became gloomy again.
The car waited quietly by the road. At this time, Huang Jianghua had time to rub his painful arm. He had also suffered just now, but Chen Xing didn't notice. Huang Jianghua was a man, so he was too embarrassed to cry out in pain. Didn't you see that Gu Panman, a woman, didn't say anything?
"Secretary, I find that it's really easy to get into danger when I'm with you." Huang Jianghua turned to look at Chen Xing. He was half-joking. "In the future, when you go out in private, you really have to strengthen the protection measures."
"This kind of situation at night is a special case. If you go out every day and encounter danger, it will be terrible." Chen Xing smiled.
"I remember that there was such a situation in Nanzhou before." Huang Jianghua smiled. When he was with Chen Xing, he found that Chen Xing liked to go out in private. This was easy to get into trouble. When you go out in public, who would recognize you as a leader? "If you say it, people will be willing to believe you?
Are you really a leader? " Lu Wei interrupted. When he heard Huang Jianghua call Chen Xing "Secretary", Lu Wei became suspicious again. Could this young man really be a leader of the city?
"Brother Lu, let me tell you, he is not only a leader of the city, but also the most powerful one." Gu Panman smiled.
"The most powerful one? Is that the mayor? " Lu Wei's eyes widened. "That's not right. I remember seeing the mayor from afar. At that time, I only knew that he was at least 50 years old."
"He is not the mayor." Gu Panman smiled and glanced at Chen Xing. He didn't know whether he should say it or not. After seeing Chen Xing's expression, he smiled again. "He is the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee."
"The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee?" Lu Wei was shocked and said subconsciously. "Such a young secretary of the Municipal Party Committee?" "Really?"
"If it's fake, when the people from the Public Security Bureau come, you can ask them to investigate." Chen Xing smiled.
As they were talking, the sound of police sirens approached. Chen Xing saw it and got out of the car. Seeing that Gu Panman was also going to get out, Chen Xing frowned. He suddenly thought that this matter would definitely spread at night. If people saw Gu Panman, it might not be a good thing for Gu Panman. As for the people from the Public Security Bureau, except for Chang Shengjun, Chen Xing didn't really trust anyone.
After pondering for a while, he decided to protect Gu Panman.
Chen Xing said, "Xiao Gu, don't get out of the car. Stay in the car."
A large group of police cars stopped. Chang Shengjun got out of the car and trotted to Chen Xing. "Secretary Chen, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Chen Xing looked at the time. Chang Shengjun was not very efficient and came a little late. Chen Xing didn't mention it.
"Secretary Chen." Executive Deputy Director Yang Hongchao also walked up and greeted Chen Xing respectfully. It was his turn to be on duty tonight. Usually, he rarely stayed in the bureau, but today, because of Qian Jinbao, Yang Hongchao couldn't leave. Chang Shengjun asked his confidant, Zhou Huai, to guard him personally. Yang Hongchao hit a wall and was thinking about letting him go at night when he heard Chang Shengjun asking someone to gather. Hearing that it was Chen Xing's instructions, Yang Hongchao followed.
Chen Xing glanced at Yang Hongchao and didn't have much of an impression of him. He nodded slightly and waved for Lu Wei to come over. He then said to Chang Shengjun, "Shengjun, this is Lu Wei. He's a resettled household in Jiangbin District. You have another mission in the future, and that is to protect his safety. Don't let anything happen to him."
As Chen Xing spoke, he glanced at Yang Hongchao and the others with a stern look in his eyes. He said, "If anyone dares to threaten or harm him, they will be going against me."
Chen Xing knew that some of these people were the spies of that group of people. No matter how many tricks there were in the old city renovation project and how many cadres were involved, Chen Xing wanted to make use of the people standing there to spread his voice. Whoever dared to touch Lu Wei would be going against him.
