As the taxi approached, many residents of the illegal buildings stuck their heads out, looking a little nervous and worried. Only when they saw that it was a taxi did they relax.

It wasn't a private car, which meant it wasn't those who forced them to leave, so they could rest assured.

This area is almost close to the edge of Jianghai City, and is surrounded by some old and dilapidated residential areas with a history.

Looking at Hongshan Park again, it has long been neglected, with cracked and potholed floor tiles and overgrown with weeds. Furthermore, there are illegal buildings nearby, making for a poor security situation.

As a result, residents of nearby old communities would rather travel dozens of miles to the new park than set foot here, making this place look even more desolate.

Looking out the car window at the place where he used to live, the old man in plain clothes sighed, "A lot of people have been persuaded to leave again."

In fact, at the beginning there were more than a few households here, at least dozens of households, and the scale was much larger than it is now.

The street authorities intend to renovate Hongshan Park, and the first thing to do is to deal with these illegal buildings. If the illegal buildings are not demolished, everything will be difficult to carry out, so the clearance work is underway.

However, those who could live in such a harsh environment were basically poor families. If they moved away, they would have nowhere to go, so they naturally resisted. It was not until a forced demolition operation injured someone and the incident became a big deal that the street authorities were forced to put the work on hold.

Although they did not dare to demolish the house by force, they would send people to the house every now and then to act as lobbyists and persuade people to move out.

The households that have been reduced now are all those that have been successfully persuaded to move away by the street authorities.

This includes the old man in plain clothes.

Indeed, the tens of thousands of yuan Lin Fan provided was one of the reasons. It gave the old man in commoner the financial conditions to move out of here and live in the village in the city.

But the biggest reason is that I am so annoyed by it that I really can't live here anymore.

"Persuade? Isn't that quite gentle?"

The veteran driver was somewhat stunned.

After all, we occasionally see in the news poor people complaining about the brutality of forced demolitions.

"Gentle ass!"

The old man in plain clothes cursed a few times and continued to tell the truth.

The street authorities really tried to persuade them not to make a big fuss again, but they just used a different approach.

At first, they sent a few girls to act pitiful and tricked a group of people away; then they called in a group of ferocious thugs and scared away another group.

If they don't leave, they will come every few days, taking turns to come, which is almost like harassment.

He was already old, so how could he have the energy to deal with those people? If he hadn't been financially strapped, he would have wanted to leave long ago. It can only be said that Lin Fan's timely help gave the old man the financial ability to leave this place, so he naturally moved out decisively.

Hearing this, Lin Fan reacted.

Why can a mere tens of thousands of dollars cause changes in the planned progress? The living environment here is really too torturous.

Not to mention tens of thousands of yuan, even a plain old man would choose to move out if it cost him only a few thousand yuan.

After explaining, the old man in plain clothes raised his hand and pointed to the two vacant lots next to the illegal buildings. "There were some tin houses here before, but they have now been demolished... At this rate, I feel that in two weeks, all the illegal buildings will be demolished."

“There should be no chance of demolition.”

Lin Fan shook his head slightly.

This is the normal course of work.

Unfortunately, terror has already arrived, and the ability of relevant departments to obtain information is far superior to that of ordinary people. In just a few days, all work departments will be paralyzed and shut down.

Everyone is just trying to survive, so how can they have the energy to care about the development of Hongshan Park?

In other words, the sigh of the old man in plain clothes is totally unnecessary. These last few illegal buildings will not only not be demolished, but will exist for a long time, perhaps even longer than his life. The man will be gone but the house will still be there.

Soon, the car stopped by the roadside.

Worried about saving his life, the old man in plain clothes pushed the door and got out of the car as soon as it stopped.

Lin Fan did not follow, but continued to sit in the car, thinking carefully.

Considering the terrifying scene of the strange pupil this time, should I let the old man in plain clothes go and challenge it alone, or should I follow him in?

Just from the perspective of ensuring safety, it is enough to let the old man in plain clothes go, and Lin Fan will try not to intervene to reduce changes.

However, there are two reasons why I am still hesitant.

First, what if the terrifying scene where Guitong is located is like the Bloody Hotel, which is an extremely special and important existence? If he doesn't go, he will miss a great opportunity.

Secondly, the importance of the strange pupil is unquestionable. Instead of letting the old man in plain clothes control it, it is better to hold it in one's own hands.

As for the old man in plain clothes, Lin Fan will find another powerful trick for him so that he can have enough strength to protect himself and survive.

After all, after several contacts with the old man in plain clothes before his rebirth, Lin Fan had already recognized the other party's abilities and character, and made him the first member of his reserved team without any changes.

Just as he was thinking about it, the old driver in the driving seat looked outside the car, then turned his head to look at Lin Fan, "Boss Lin... Is he your elder?"

At around six o'clock in the morning, we rushed to the urban village without stopping.

The old man must have gone to help poor women last night and was detained by the police station, which is why Boss Lin rushed over to rescue him.

Without waiting for a reply, seeing that Lin Fan did not get off the car, the old man in plain clothes became anxious and turned back to urge him, "Brother, get off the car quickly."

"Okay."

After thinking about it, Lin Fan decided to go in and take a look.

Although unexpected changes may occur due to my intervention, there should be no danger.

After all, the strength of the Ghost Eye is there, and he has the wine jar fragments, the Bloody Hotel membership card, and the Ghost Hand, which are enough to deal with it.

As Lin Fan got out of the taxi, only the driving seat was left in the taxi, with the old driver looking dazed.

brother?

That old man is not Lin Fan’s elder, but his brother?

Could it be that the two of them are not much different in age... But this makes him look too old, he looks like he is in his sixties when he is in his twenties.

But when I think about that person, who came from a village in the city, the reason why he looks old is obvious.

After coming back to his senses, the old driver muttered softly, "I have to remind you, although doing good deeds is good, don't do it too often... Occasionally it will strengthen the kidneys, but frequent will hurt your life."

…

After the two got off the car, Lin Fan did not let the old driver stay there, but asked him to go home and call him again when needed.

After all, he didn't have enough information about the horrific scene where the Ghost Eye was, and he didn't know how long it would take to complete the entire trial.

If the experienced driver were to wait here, he would easily be drawn into the horror scene and become a burden to Lin Fan.

Hearing this, the old driver prepared to drive away.

But before leaving, he said to Lin Fan meaningfully, "Advise your brother, he was too indulgent in his twenties, he won't be able to do that when he's old."

"My brother?"

Lin Fan didn't react.

Instead, the old man in plain clothes turned around and retorted, "If you don't use it when you are young, why do you need it when you are old?"

“…”

The old driver was stuck, unable to speak for a long time. After a few minutes, he nodded seriously, "What you said... does make some sense."
