The forensic doctor was speechless. "Grandma Ding didn't have any obvious wounds, impacts, or bruises, but she had a very obvious heatstroke reaction. In fact, the heatstroke was very serious, but the elderly woman was not in good health and couldn't withstand it. Please notify her family members to come over immediately."

The family arrived an hour later.

After learning that Grandma Ding had passed away from heatstroke, her family was devastated.

"How could that be? My mother is in good health. It must be that the developer wanted us to move out, so they deliberately killed my mother."

The police officer explained, "Your mother has no injuries or signs of homicide. If you don't believe me, you can have a forensic examination done again, but if the results are the same, you will need to pay again."

“Our forensic doctors are very professional and would not make such a basic mistake.”

But the family didn't believe it at all. "We don't believe your nonsense. My mother was perfectly healthy. How could she have died for no reason? You're in cahoots with that unscrupulous developer. You're just taking sides."

However, no matter how the police explained, Grandma Ding's family just wouldn't believe it.

Fortunately, they managed to persuade the person to stop in the end.

But no one expected that Grandma Ding's family members would not be persuaded to stop, but instead decided to temporarily halt the proceedings and then find a larger platform to expose them.

This incident made the front page of local newspapers and news outlets just two days later.

In an instant, negative public opinion about Jianggang Group flooded in.

There's no such thing as an absurd opinion that can't be imagined.

It captured the attention of almost everyone in Jiangcheng.

People from newspapers and television stations came knocking on the door.

We want an explanation from the person in charge of Jianggang Group and the police officers who 'colluded' with them.

Jianggang Group has strong public relations capabilities. As soon as these people arrived, they submitted all the information they wanted.

“Their apartment is only 12 square meters, and it only costs 100,000 yuan. Our senior staff earn more than that every month. Is it necessary to disregard human life for 100,000 yuan?”

"On the contrary, greed should be the real cause of Granny Ding's death. There were already cases of elderly women in that area being sent to the hospital due to heatstroke. Most of the elderly women had been taken home by their families, but Granny Ding and a few other elderly women who were unwilling to leave insisted on staying there..."

"But if you hadn't cut off the water and electricity, Grandma Ding probably wouldn't have died from heatstroke," one of the reporters tried to steer the conversation.

Jianggang staff responded shrewdly, "That area is slated for demolition. The demolition office has been stationed there since April. Now it's the end of August. In the four months that have passed, don't they know that area is no longer habitable?"

"Also, that area is slated for demolition. The current work is still under the jurisdiction of the demolition office. Although Jianggang Group has taken over that land, they haven't actually started the work yet. Our original plan was to officially launch the project tomorrow."

“I don’t know if you understand the demolition process. Each department has its own procedures. Once the project is officially taken over, it can’t proceed to the next step in less than a year or two. In other words, Jianggang Group is not in a hurry to build, so naturally they won’t be in a hurry to move them away.”

"Then the Ding family's accusations are completely unfounded. On the contrary, their slander has affected our company. We will pursue the legal rights of the Ding family."

"Furthermore, police officers are acting in accordance with regulations. If you feel that we are abusing our power and colluding with them to suppress you, you are welcome to ask higher-level personnel to assist in the investigation. Please feel free to ask us to assist in the investigation at any time."

After saying that, the Jianggang staff left.

Although Jianggang Group is a very large enterprise, it is indeed possible that it might abuse its power to oppress others.

Ultimately, it's only 100,000 yuan. Even if you double that amount, there's no need to cause a death.

Besides, it's not uncommon for holdout residents to cause trouble in order to get their houses.

Didn't the Li family cause quite a stir the other day?

Similar cases can be found in various demolition sites.

Of course, there must have been instances of abuse of power.

But for a 12-square-meter house, spending 100,000 yuan is really unnecessary.

"100,000 yuan, who can do that? Even if their ultimate goal is a house, it's not like Jianggang Group can't afford it. I don't think it's necessary."

"Moreover, as I said before, since you think Grandma Ding's death is suspicious, then conduct an autopsy. Who knew they would get so angry and say that we had also been bribed."

Thinking about it carefully.

It seems that those who do not follow their ideas are all labeled as conspiring with others.

So what else is there to say?

-

Jianggang Group keeps its word.

The next day, Ding Youwei, the son of Grandma Ding, received a lawyer's letter from Jianggang Group.

"They really want to sue us? How dare they?"

Having lived his entire life as an ordinary person, he rarely even went to the police station, so he had never seen a lawyer's letter before. Ding Youwei immediately cowered in fear.

"Honey, what should I do? Am I going to go to jail?"

"No, those big bosses just like to use these things to scare people. We're just trying to get justice for my mother-in-law. When has getting justice become a crime?"

Seeking justice is not a crime, but extorting money under the guise of seeking justice is a serious offense.

Originally, Ding Youwei didn't say anything bad, but they directly demanded that Jianggang Group compensate them with two houses, otherwise there was nothing to say.

Then--

Before he could figure out anything, Ding Youwei was actually arrested.

Even after entering the room, he was still completely bewildered.

"No, what did I do to deserve this?"

"Didn't the court already rule in your favor? You used the guise of seeking justice to extort money. Fine, reform yourself properly, and you'll be able to get out in a few years. Remember to be a good person when you get out."

Not to mention a few years later, Ding Youwei's wife never showed her face again after he went to jail. Moreover, she immediately signed the papers after the verdict was announced, took the money, and ran away.

Years later, when Ding Youwei was released, he had lost his house, his money, and his wife had long since disappeared.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

-

This incident has spread far and wide, and Jianggang Group has put in a lot of effort to suppress these negative news reports. However, everyone knows that restoring its image to its original state is not something that can be done in a short time.

Fortunately, after it was confirmed that Shen Jize was not from Gangcheng, Jiangcheng took the initiative to promote relations between the two places and invited Shen Jize to participate in many public events.

Shen Jize was pleased to see this happen, as they were finally able to gradually regain their good reputation.

This matter was long and complicated, and it spread too widely. Wang Ying, who initially regretted not getting the job, sighed when the case ended.

"I was too embarrassed to say this before, but thankfully we didn't take on this project."
