"Whether to cooperate or not depends on the voluntary participation of the people. If the people are unwilling to demolish, then you cannot demolish," Zhou Kai roared.

"Brother, I'm just working for someone else too, and this has been dragging on for so long." The man threw the cigarette in his hand and gently stomped it out, then continued, "Everyone, please hear me out. We discussed it with everyone back in October, and now the time is up, I'm really in a difficult position."

Lin Chuan stepped forward, "You must be from the demolition office, right?"

"Correct," the man nodded, and continued, "I'm still wearing the work clothes, I'm just doing my job. Brother, could you please let us proceed with our work?"

Lin Chuan didn't show any mercy, "Give your people a minute to leave, or else..."

Before Lin Chuan could finish, the man's expression became troubled: "Brother, you're being a bit impulsive, I'm not the same as Liu Jianguo. I've been polite, and you should be polite too, right?"

Whoosh...

Behind him, fifty or sixty demolition workers came in and stood behind the man, probably fearing that Lin Chuan's side would do something out of line. Zhou Kai whispered into Lin Chuan's ear, "Chuan, be careful. These people are no simpletons; if I'm not mistaken, they all have powerful backers. This plot of land has been bought by the Heng'an Group. It's surely their people carrying out the demolition, just wearing a human skin."

"I can see that," Lin Chuan nodded slightly.

"My fellow villagers, listen up," the man said holding a loudspeaker, "Our demolition office is also working to build better things, ultimately it's to serve the public, build better so that everyone can enjoy better things. And as for compensation, what should be there is there."

At first, there were many people, but they were helpless. It was the will of the higher-ups, and these people were just working for others after all.

"Don't spout nonsense here, just leave quickly. We're not going to let you demolish," Zhou Kai shouted.

The man patted the dust off his clothes, "If that's the case, then let's just wait it out. I have time anyway, and I get paid to wait."

Lin Chuan glanced at him, "You have so many people and machines here affecting the residents' normal lives, I advise you to leave quickly."

While everyone was at a standstill.

"What's everyone doing here?" Just then, a black Audi car sped over.

The car stopped, and the door opened...

Everyone turned their heads to look, it was Tang Yumeng who arrived.

Whoosh...

Everyone exclaimed.

"Why is Secretary Tang here?" a group of people asked curiously.

"No idea!" Captain Dai of the demolition team quickly shook his head.

"This… what do we do now?" someone said awkwardly, "We're in trouble now."

"Who's afraid? We haven't done anything wrong," Captain Dai bolstered his courage, "We're also doing it for work, do you think it's easy for us?"

Meanwhile, Tang Yumeng hurriedly walked over here.

"Sis, why did you come?" Lin Chuan parted the crowd and immediately came out.

"How could I not come?" Tang Yumeng frowned and said, "If I didn't come, who knows what mess it would turn into."

"I can handle this!" Lin Chuan chuckled.

"How will you handle it?" Tang Yumeng glared at Lin Chuan with annoyance, then said, "With fists? With violence? You never grow up!"

"Uh..." Lin Chuan was stunned.

At this moment, Tang Yumeng turned around and walked over, scoffing, "Captain Dai, who gave you the guts? Do you realize that having so many people here is affecting the residents' lives?"

"I..." Captain Dai paused, awkwardly said, "I… I'm just following orders from above."

"Above? Who is above?" Tang Yumeng unceremoniously pressed on.

"This…" Captain Dai chuckled awkwardly, looking highly secretive.

"If you won't say, then get your people and scram!" Tang Yumeng huffed.

"That won't do," Captain Dai quickly waved his hands, "If that happens, I can't keep my job. In fact, I do have the execution order, but I'm trying to reason with you all here."

"Got the order?" Tang Yumeng scoffed, "Have all the residents signed the relocation agreement?"

"This..." Captain Dai was dumbfounded again.

"Playing dumb, how do you enforce the law?" Tang Yumeng was sharp-tongued and managed to leave Captain Dai at a loss for words.

"Secretary Tang, you are a member of the City Committee, and we are just grassroots law enforcement officers." Captain Dai smiled and said, "You are high above us; we are nothing but ants. Whatever you want to do, it's all up to you to say the word."

"You!" Tang Yumeng was taken aback by Captain Dai's countermeasure.

"However, today's operation was personally ordered by Secretary Song." Captain Dai said with a sneer, "So unless I get Secretary Song's approval, I absolutely won't leave."

"You!" Tang Yumeng was even more infuriated.

Slap…

Lin Chuan, who could not stand it any longer, lunged forward and gave a slap.

Bang…

Before Captain Dai could even cover his face, Lin Chuan kicked him over and shouted angrily, "Damn it, this is Changlin Factory's turf; what right do you have to demolish it? Secretary Tang is a member of the City Committee, and you still dare to be arrogant in front of her?!" Lin Chuan knew that this was just a smiling tiger, no different from Liu Jianguo and his ilk.

"You hit me after I tried to reason with you!" Captain Dai panicked.

He swung his fist, ready to strike back at Lin Chuan.

Crack!

Suddenly, Lin Chuan grabbed his arm and stepped forward quickly, dislocating the other party's arm right there and then.

"Ah!" Captain Dai screamed in agony, wailing, "It hurts... it's killing me, it's killing me.

"Call the police, quick... hurry and call the police!" a brawny man nearby shouted urgently.

"Call the police!" Captain Dai also yelled with all his strength.

After receiving the call, Chen Jianjun immediately rushed to the scene with more than twenty riot police and surrounded the area on arrival.

It didn't matter if the situation got out of hand; Lin Chuan was the first to strike, which in itself would make the officials appear justified.

Chen Jianjun got out of the car.

"Lin Chuan, we meet again." Chen Jianjun carried a sly smile on his face.

"What authority do you have to stand here as the head of a criminal investigation team?" Lin Chuan looked down on him, "You're not investigating bank robberies, chemical plant explosions... but instead, you're involved in demolition work?"

"You are mistaken," Chen Jianjun smiled and replied, "I'm not here to handle the demolition work. Captain Dai belongs to the City Management Bureau's demolition office, and you have blatantly attacked a public official. That's a criminal offense. Since it's a crime, how can I ignore it? Come on, take them all back and investigate thoroughly!"

"Yes!" A nearby police officer immediately nodded.

"Who dares!" Lin Chuan's voice was not loud, but it was powerful, resonating clearly in everyone's ears.

The crowd of Changlin Factory stepped forward in unity, and Uncle Liu's face darkened with anger, his beard quivering: "You must not take Lin Chuan away!! Otherwise!!!"

Otherwise what?

"Otherwise this old man will just lie down here and won't get up. If I die, you will be responsible!"

At this moment, the Liang family's patriarch was desperately protective; relying on their age, they were trying to safeguard Lin Chuan.

"What's going on here?" Chen Jianjun frowned.

"They are bullying the elderly."

"The scum, attacking a group of old people like that, it's despicable. We need to petition the City Committee."

"Right, petition!"

Captain Dai was dumbstruck and exclaimed angrily, "Bullshit, Lin Chuan hit himself, how could it become us hitting someone?"

"Nonsense, we are all witnesses here!" A group of people roared. Faced with hundreds of eyewitnesses, Captain Dai was stunned and muttered, "Bastards, bullies... they're bullying the honest folks..."

Chen Jianjun stared at Lin Chuan and said, "Clever move."

Lin Chuan neither contradicted nor admitted, simply saying, "Officer Chen, what they're doing is wrong; we don't dare break the law, we just want fairness. Changlin Factory isn't a place for them to mess around. Honestly speaking, this land doesn't belong to the municipal government, it belongs to our factory workers. So, don't mess around."

Chen Jianjun laughed, "The land belongs to the state, and everyone is acting in accordance with the law. This makes it difficult for everyone."

At this moment, Zhang Wenhui hurried to the scene. He clearly overheard the action of the police center while on patrol. He simply could not ignore what was happening on Huai Mountain South Road.
