Chapter 234 Old Bureau
Whenever a construction project involves relocation, even if the compensation is determined by the government, it is impossible to satisfy everyone.
If someone is greedy, you only need to instigate them with a few words, and then use threats and inducements, and they will take the initiative to cause trouble. Sometimes, unruly people are not necessarily easier to deal with than gangsters.
What happened in Lantian today must have been the work of Dafei, but the Tong family is not someone to be trifled with, and Dafei would certainly not let anyone catch him with anything. His subordinates certainly did not step forward in this matter, and he had asked outsiders to set up the trap.
Even if Tong wanted to investigate, they would not be able to find Dafei. The trap had already been set, and Dafei would not show up, nor would he even resort to any means to add fuel to the fire. Now that the situation had become like this, naturally there would be greedy people who would come out and cause trouble.
Just as Lu Yongqiang said, so many people were injured today, and if the compensation is too little, those injured will definitely not agree. At that time, they will spontaneously organize people to cause trouble at the construction site.
If the compensation is high enough, with a few broken bones and a few months of hospitalization, you can get hundreds of thousands of yuan in compensation. Naturally, there will be many people who will be jealous. At that time, some people will come out from time to time to make trouble at the construction site. The Tong family may not care if they have to pay compensation once or twice, but if they have to pay compensation too many times, even if they are rich and powerful, they will not be able to bear it.
Once these two situations occur, it will be very troublesome to solve them through formal means.
Just like the first situation, the villagers have surrounded the construction site. How can the construction start? Not only will the construction schedule be delayed, but it will also damage the reputation of Tong's International Group. After all, this is a scandal.
For a large company like Tong International Group, once its reputation is damaged, it is not as simple as losing a little money.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Tong Keren leaned over to the phone and asked, "Mr. Lu, how do you think we should handle today's incident?"
Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "How to deal with it? This is something that Miss Tong should consider. It's not convenient for me to get involved."
"Ah Zhen, I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."
After saying that, Lu Yongqiang hung up the phone.
During lunch, all the necessary reminders were given. If Tong Keren had listened to the advice and Lu Yongqiang had acted as a middleman between the two of them, no matter how much benefit Dafei got, he would still owe Lu Yongqiang a favor.
The situation is different now. Now that Lu Yongqiang is involved, no matter what Tong Keren and Dafei agree on later, Lu Yongqiang will owe Dafei a favor in the end.
Lu Yongqiang naturally didn't want to deal with such a thankless task.
Tong Keren's face turned grim upon hearing the beeping sound from her phone. She was a favored daughter of heaven, always the object of everyone's admiration. Lu Yongqiang's move was a bit disrespectful to her.
Seeing Tong Keren's grim expression, Yue Huizhen said with a wry smile, "Keren, Aqiang is a rough man, don't bother with him."
"How about I give my third uncle a call? He often deals with people from the society. Should he have a way to solve this problem?"
As Le Huizhen finished speaking, Tong Keren said, "Ah Zhen, there's no need to trouble Third Uncle. I have a way to solve this problem."
Seeing Tong Keren's refusal, Le Huizhen knew that Tong Keren was angry, so she tactfully did not ask any more questions. She asked the driver to stop at an intersection ahead, and she made an excuse and got out of the car directly.
Lu Yongqiang originally thought that after his reminder, as long as Tong Keren was not too stupid, she would take the initiative to contact Dafei and resolve the matter.
Every evil person will be dealt with by another evil person. With Dafei, the local tyrant, stepping forward, no matter how greedy someone is, they will not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble.
However, Lu Yongqiang underestimated the stubbornness in Tong Keren's character. She did not look for Dafei, but her boyfriend Luo Sen.
When Jin Yagui was causing trouble for Luo Sen, Luo Sen's friend Chen Yaxie's left hand was not injured because Lu Yongqiang stepped in.
Maybe it was because the matter was not as serious as in the plot. After the incident, although Rosen still confirmed his relationship with Tong Keren, he did not live off her like in the plot. He went to work at Tong's Group and is still active in the underworld.
Luo Sen was smart and capable, but he was also very self-righteous. After learning the whole story, he stepped in on behalf of Tong Keren to resolve the incident.
Rosen has been in the underworld for quite some time and has made many friends there.
He asked his friends in the underworld to find the people who were watching today. After being threatened by the fierce and ferocious people, some of them were scared and told the truth directly.
The truth of the matter is very simple. When the old man with the dog was playing in the park in the afternoon, he heard someone planning to scam people at the construction site. They said that if they did it well, they could easily make 1.8 million yuan.
The old man holding the dog is not a good person. He is an old rogue from Lam Tin Estate. He overheard other people's plans, thought about them himself, and became greedy.
After that, he returned home and discussed it with his son and daughter-in-law. They felt that this was indeed feasible. Then they found two relatives to discuss it, and they all felt that it was feasible. This is how the car accident happened near the construction site.
According to their original plan, the old man pretended to be hit by a car, then his daughter-in-law came out and harassed the driver, and then his son and relatives came out to watch and make a fuss, making the matter bigger than it was. When they alarmed the workers working at the construction site, they would stir up trouble and have them beat them up.
After being hit by a car, their family members were beaten up. No matter who was responsible for the accident, the matter could not be resolved peacefully. Afterwards, they organized relatives and friends to find the person in charge of the construction site to ask for an explanation, and they tried their best to extort out one or two hundred thousand yuan.
But how can I put it? Despite all their calculations, these people hadn't anticipated the final outcome would be so serious, with over a dozen people injured, the most seriously injured nearly dying.
Seeing the situation was so serious, the old man and his daughter-in-law were scared. Under the police's questioning, the old man admitted that he had a car accident because he was in a hurry to chase the dog. Later, his daughter-in-law also admitted that she misunderstood that the driver was going to run away, so she held him tightly.
They had the guts to admit to these two minor incidents, but they naturally wouldn't admit to initiating trouble. After all, so many neighbors were injured. If they admitted, how could they have the face to stay in Lam Tin Estate in the future...
Although the matter has been investigated clearly, it is also a fact that the workers on the construction site injured people, and compensation must still be paid.
However, after the old man's family and his two relatives gave in, the compensation amount was reduced a lot. Those with minor injuries were paid three or two thousand yuan, and no one asked for exorbitant amounts for those with serious injuries. They all accepted the normal compensation standards.
The matter was actually settled after this treatment. However, Rosen was determined to vent his anger on Tong Keren and set up a trap to plot against Dafei.
The simplest and most direct way for a con man to set up a scheme is to cheat in gambling.
In Lantian, Dafei owns a small casino. Rosen asked Chen Yaxie to pretend to be a rich young man and take his female companion Bobo to the casino to play for three days in a row.
During these three days, Yaxie gambled heavily in the casino. Sometimes he lost three or four hundred thousand, and sometimes he lost more than one hundred thousand. In three days, he lost almost one million. He was simply a rich man with a lot of money.
After losing for three days, Chen Yaxie started yelling like an idiot that the bet was too small and that it was not satisfying. He asked if there was a big bet. If not, he would go to another casino.
The person in charge of the small casino is Da Fei's confidant Gui Shou Tian.
Ghost Hand Tian, who is in his forties, was also a con man when he was young. He dared to call himself Ghost Hand, which means that he is quite powerful in cheating.
Guishou Tian is very confident in his own strength. When he meets a big fat sheep like Chen Yaxie, Guishou Tian naturally doesn't want to let him go.
However, as a con man, Guishou Tian was also afraid that someone was setting a trap to trap him, so he told Dafei about it and asked for his opinion.
Lantian is Dafei's territory, and the casino is located in Lantian. This is Dafei's old nest. Dafei is naturally not afraid of someone setting up a trap. For him, if everyone gambles openly, Dafei dare not use any tricks for the sake of his own reputation, otherwise he may lose money.
But if someone cheats at the gambling table, that suits him perfectly. He can just rob them openly, which is more profitable than gambling properly.
After Dafei agreed, Guishoutian organized a gambling game with a total stake of 30 million in just one day.
There are a total of five people participating in this gambling game, each of whom has a stake of 6 million. The gambling method is all-in, and there can only be one winner in the end.
To be on the safe side, Guishou Tian also called in a former partner. This was to be on the safe side. If he was unlucky, Guishou Tian would be ready to take action.
Unexpectedly, while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. When Guishou Tian wanted to plot against Chen Yaxie, others had already set up a trap and were waiting for him. Rosen had already bribed one of Guishou Tian's partners.
After the gambling started, everyone relied on their real ability at the beginning. Chen Yaxie was lucky and always lost less and won more. In about an hour, he won nearly 10 million.
Seeing this situation, Guishou became anxious and started to wink at his partner. He originally thought that he could only fight two against one, but he didn't expect that others had teamed up to fight him alone, and they were teaming up secretly.
The final result of the bet was that Guishou Tian’s former partner won alone.
After the gambling game ended, Chen Yaxie was not angry at all about losing money, and he left directly with his female companion.
Afterwards, the partner that Guishou Tian found took several large boxes of money and got into the car. This car was driven by Guishou Tian's partner, but there were four of Dafei's confidants in the car.
Guishou Tian was afraid that his partner would run away with the money, so he said he would arrange some bodyguards for him.
In addition, there was a van following behind, with six of Da Fei's men sitting in the van.
According to Guishou Tian's plan, the car would be driven directly to Dafei's house, and then everyone would sit down and divide the loot.
But when the car was halfway there, Guishou Tian's partner suddenly held his stomach and said he wanted to go to the toilet. There was a public toilet in front of them, so Guishou Tian's partner parked the car in front of the public toilet.
Several suitcases of money were placed in the trunk of the car. Four of Da Fei's confidants were sitting in the car, and there was a van following behind. Although it was night, there were still many people nearby, and there were police patrolling not far away. In this situation, Da Fei's confidants naturally would not guard against Guishou Tian's partner.
But after waiting in front of the public toilet for almost twenty minutes, Guishou Tian's partner still didn't come out, and Da Fei's confidant realized that something was wrong.
Two of them went to the toilet to look for someone, and the remaining two got out of the car and opened the trunk directly to check the situation inside.
After opening the trunk, they found that all the cash boxes were there. The two men breathed a sigh of relief. One of them was very cautious and opened a cash box and took a quick look. Seeing that the money in the box was still there, he closed the trunk door.
