Ya'an Hospital.
After a chaotic and panicked scene, Pei Jun's journey from near death to being out of danger and back to safety became another legendary story in the hospital.
After the family embraced and wept bitterly, they were filled with gratitude for surviving the ordeal.
Having truly experienced a life-or-death ordeal, the family's hearts seem to be connected even more closely.
Pei Ye and Pei Lulu were so traumatized that they couldn't recover quickly. They each took three days off, spending their days at the hospital with their father and going home to sleep at night. Pei Heng, on the other hand, found a hotel near the hospital and left in the middle of the night. He would come in around 7 a.m. to stay with his father after the hospital opened its doors. No matter how Pei Jun tried to shoo him away, he would pretend not to hear. Even if he wasn't in the ward, he would be in the corridor outside the ward. Pei Jun found it somewhat amusing, but he was also moved to tears. None of his three children were bad.
I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but logically speaking, after escaping death, one should be weak for a while after waking up. However, Pei Jun’s condition was as good as if nothing had happened. The doctors were amazed, but they still forced him to stay in the hospital. He had only been down the tightrope of death for less than a day. Who would dare to let Pei Jun go back immediately? After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
After forcing himself to rest for three days, Pei Jun felt that his body was no longer in serious condition, so he begged Qu An to bring him the materials he had obtained before he fainted. The source of those materials was really strange. He had also sent people to investigate in his study to find out how those materials and CDs were delivered to his study, but they found nothing, as if they had appeared out of thin air.
Three days passed in a flash. After confirming with the doctor several times that her husband had miraculously recovered, Qu An brought the medical documents over. Since both of the younger children had gone to school, she and Pei Heng discussed the matter with the attending physician and decided to discharge him in three days.
During these three days, Pei Jun reviewed all the written evidence materials, organized and categorized them, and prepared all the materials for the case report. Anger and rage could no longer contain his emotions; he had only one thought: kill! Find all the participants and kill them all!
On the day Pei Jun was discharged from the hospital, he took the CD back to the bureau and contacted Lao Yu, now Yu Fuhai, the deputy director of the Guizhou Provincial Public Security Department.
Pei Jun spoke vaguely on the phone, but even without mentioning the seriousness of the matter, Yu Fuhai dared not delay. He flew back to Beiyu City from out of town that very day. The matter he was investigating was quite important, and he kept the news from the outside world, so much so that he didn't even know when his old friend fell ill and was on the verge of death.
Fortunately, Pei Jun was discharged from the hospital, and his research was nearing its end. He then turned on his mobile phone. However, he never expected that his old friend would send him such terrible news, comparable to an atomic bomb explosion!
On his way here, Yu Fuhai had mentally prepared himself for the end of get out of class.
If what Pei Jun said is true, the planning and execution of those events is probably beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. The case in Tianzhu District is not yet fully closed, and new discoveries have been made here. It's a huge scheme that cannot be completed in a year or two.
Deceiving superiors and concealing the truth also requires skill.
Therefore, confidentiality must be maintained at the highest level!
Once Yu Fuhai's arrival time was confirmed, Pei Jun personally stood at the headquarters entrance to greet him.
When a black minivan drove up, Pei Jun didn't think much of it, assuming it was just someone coming on business. But when the door opened, his old friend stepped out. And surprisingly, this person was wearing a mask and casual clothes today. If they hadn't grown up wearing the same pants, Pei Jun might not have recognized him.
Just as he was about to step forward to speak, Yu Fuhai strode forward and made a gesture to stop him.
"Go inside and talk."
The two understood each other perfectly and went back to the third floor one after the other.
The door closed tightly, and Yu Fuhai took off his mask, hurriedly saying, "Quick, let me see the materials."
"Don't rush, let's watch the DVD first." It would be best to watch the DVD first and then look at the materials.
When those bloody, inhumane, and gruesome scenes were displayed as video footage, the two old men trembled. The scenes in the laboratory and operating room were like nightmares; even just watching the videos made them shake with fear, let alone the screaming victims themselves.
If it weren't for their backgrounds in criminal investigation, they wouldn't even have been able to finish watching these videos.
The images were so bloody and horrific that they couldn't help but think of a country that deserved to be torn to pieces, and certain historical scenes from their deepest memories.
Holding his forehead, Yu Fuhai suppressed the churning in his stomach and became restless.
When I saw the third disc, I couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to the toilet. Then I came back and continued watching, vomiting, and watching again, until the night passed and the day came.
Both of them were exhausted by the end of the night, feeling as if half their lives had been taken away.
“This information is so detailed, it’s like we’ve done it ourselves. Look, it even includes the criminal’s identity information and current address.” Pei Jun pointed out the key points in the materials.
"Never mind that. Give me the application materials, and I'll assign someone to handle it for you. Send someone from your side to investigate. Find someone you trust. No need to notify the local authorities; just bring them back directly. These branches are too widespread, and the situations involved are very complex. If we report it, things might change. If there's any resistance, just take them away by force. If anything happens, have the provincial department come to me." Yu Fuhai was always cautious in his actions. Even though he knew he might be criticized for doing this, he had to do it, not for anything else, but so that these dead children and teenagers could rest in peace.
After saying that, without hearing any response from his old friend, Yu Fuhai turned around and met his old buddy's tearful face. The next second, Pei Jun gave him a bear hug. "Oh, Lao Yu, after all these years, you haven't changed at all! You're still so upright and kind! Your character shines like gold! Without you, I really couldn't do this job!"
"Get out of here, you old geezer! You're so mushy at your age. Get lost, you stinky bastard!"
The two old men, one looking down on the other and the other deliberately teasing, cracked jokes that actually helped to dispel much of the stifling pain.
"Remember, I'm only giving you one week. If you exceed one week, I'll have to report it to my superiors, which might alert them. Time is of the essence, so hurry up."
Thus, Beiyu City launched a secret arrest operation, which soon shocked the world.
Dingjiaqi Village, South Suburbs, Tianzhu Street.
Ding Mao returned from inspecting the fields with his hands behind his back and saw the village chief pacing back and forth in front of his house.
"Village chief, what are you doing here? Are you looking for me?" Everyone in the village knew that his wife had gone to the city to help their son take care of their grandson, and now he was all alone at home.
"Oh, Maozi, you're finally back! I was so worried about you. Hurry up and open the door so I can come in. I have something to talk to you about." When Village Chief Ding Xian saw Ding Mao, his eyes practically lit up with greed, like a fly seeing honey or a bee seeing nectar.
"What's up? You seem so happy." Full of questions, but not wanting to talk outside, Ding Mao pulled off the key hanging from his belt, opened the iron gate, and let the man in.
"Buy my brick factory? Are you sure?" After understanding Ding Xian's intentions, Ding Mao could hardly believe that such a windfall was coming.
He rented that piece of industrial land in the village, fenced it off, built houses, and used it to run a brick factory. He ran it for almost twenty years, but due to some reasons, the brick factory went bankrupt. He paid the rent, but the lease term hadn't expired, so it was left unused and has been abandoned for almost ten years now.
A while ago, a young girl brought a group of thugs up to rent his brick factory. The village agreed and the factory was rented out. But less than a month later, the girl suddenly changed her mind and wanted to buy it, wanting to use the remaining rental fees to offset the purchase price. It all sounds a bit surreal.
The two who came that day, one young and one a hoodlum, didn't seem to have any money. Could they afford it?
Such a large piece of land would cost at least 100,000.
"Of course I'm sure. This time, a leader from the city's chamber of commerce acted as an intermediary and brought you here. Your lease still has five years left, right? Take this opportunity to sell it off. You can make up for your losses. If the deal goes well, you can even make a profit. When your son and wife find out, they'll be happy, especially your wife. She might even come back the next day after hearing the news. That way, you won't have to do everything yourself."
Because of the brick factory's losses, Ding Mao's family had repeatedly complained to the village. However, the village couldn't do anything about it. After all, it was all in black and white; the lease had already been signed, and the land had been used. If the factory went bankrupt before the lease expired, there was no reason to refund the rent. After nearly two years of this back and forth, the old woman got tired of it and realized there was no hope, so she went to help her son take care of her grandson, leaving the old man at home.
Everyone knows how the old man was abandoned, and everyone feels sorry for him. But there's nothing that can be done; no one can take the blame. After all, these days, no one has it easy.
Ding Mao didn't reply immediately. Instead, he remained silent, took out a pipe, lit it, and took a puff. "How much money are you going to give me?"
One sentence hit the nail on the head, leaving Ding Xian speechless.
"Um, hehe, what price are you planning to ask for?" They said that they could either demolish the building inside or leave it for them to use. Of course, the price of the building wouldn't be high, after all, it's over thirty years old. They were also worried about quality issues, as maintenance would require a lot of money.
“No matter the price, I want 40%.” Ding Mao held up four fingers.
Ding Xian's fake smile froze instantly. He stood up abruptly, pointed his finger at Ding Mao's nose, and said, "Ding Mao, you really have a big appetite. Forty percent? You actually dare to say that! Your factory has nothing but blue bricks and wasteland. Others have to rebuild everything and renovate. Apart from the lease term, you have nothing left. I might as well refund the remaining years' rent to you. The land belongs to the collective. If I say I'll take it back, you can sue me all the way up, I'm not afraid."
Ding Mao exhaled a puff of smoke and glanced sideways at the bristling village chief. "Thirty percent, that's my bottom line. If you're still not satisfied, don't even think about selling this place. I'll come knocking on your door every day to cause trouble, and see if anyone buys it then." When those two came to rent it, they said they were opening a company. Since they actually wanted to buy it, they must also be opening a company. Company owners don't have time to waste on ordinary people like them. If they can't reach an agreement in a few days, and there are still issues with ownership, they'll just move on. He knew that perfectly well.
"You damn Ding! You damn Ding! You're a complete scoundrel! Why don't you just fly to the sky? Two percent, that's the most I can get! Not a single penny more."
After a few puffs of the remaining tobacco, Ding Maozi paid no attention to the enraged village chief. He calmly knocked the ash out of his gun, took out more tobacco, put it back in, lit it, took a puff, squinted his eyes, and exhaled, a satisfied expression on his face. "Just 30%. If it's less than a penny, this deal won't work. That big boss won't waste his time on you. In this lousy place, besides this opportunity, who knows how many years it will be before we get lucky again? Maybe by then you'll be reborn and won't need to bother with this anymore. I'll save you the trouble."
Trying to fool him? Hmph, you're still too green, you old codger.
Don't they remember what I saw and experienced when I first started out?
Ding Xian: ...
"You're ruthless! I'm going back to have a meeting with the others. You come over then and tell them about your tough attitude today. I can't make that decision for you. If you want it, go earn it yourself!"
Ding Xian, filled with anger, stormed out of Ding Maozi's house and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
A few days later, Cao Ming received a reply.
"The offer is 150,000." Cao Ming found Yuan Zhuan at the training ground.
"88,000 is my bottom line. If you don't agree, we'll go somewhere else." She recently visited several other places, all of similar size, with much better houses and no weeds on the ground. They quoted her 130,000, but there was nothing there. She had to do everything herself. And she wanted 150,000? Dream on!
For this piece of land, even the lowest-priced option available, the price she offered is considered very reasonable.
If she actually buys it, she'll have to invest a lot of money, which is why she didn't urge the renovation company to cancel the contract and not come. She plans to look at more places and understand the situation better before making a decision.
When Ding Xian received Cao Ming's offer of 80,000, he almost pulled his hair out.
"They've almost halved the price! Are they serious? They're not serious at all! I'm not negotiating anymore!" Ding Xian slammed his fist on the table. The other village directors, however, weren't as angry. They all knew what was going on with that piece of land. It was a place with little commercial value, and the ground was all gravel. They couldn't build houses high up because the foundation wouldn't be solid enough.
Moreover, that piece of land didn't originally belong to their village. After the village merger and the completion of the administrative division, an extra piece of land was discovered. It couldn't be farmed or have high-rise buildings built on it, so it had virtually no commercial value. Since it was close to Dingjiaqi Village, it was assigned to their village's jurisdiction.
Even if it's idle, it's still idle. Useless trash can be exchanged for money, and it's 80,000 yuan, which is really beyond their expectations.
Ding Maozi collected all the rent in the first place and renewed the lease twice, for a total of 30 years, which amounted to 10,000 yuan. The lease hasn't expired yet. If they continue to rent, the rent will be low, so it's better to exchange it all at once. It's worth it. Although Ding Maozi has to pay 30%, there's still a lot left. If it's used for the village collective, everyone can live a better life.
The group discussed animatedly, and soon gave their opinions to Ding Xian. Ding Xian looked at everyone helplessly, "Are you sure? This price is very low. Once the ownership is transferred, it will have nothing to do with us anymore."
Once the land is transferred to state ownership and the ownership is transferred out, it truly has nothing to do with them anymore, and there's no use in changing your mind later.
"I'm all set."
"Me too, I agree to sell."
...
"Since that's the case, let's write down the meeting conclusions and get them signed and voted on."
