When the two thugs who smashed Li Xiuyuan's office window returned to Tian Zhen's house, it was still bustling with activity. After drinking, everyone was playing cards, and there was a pile of loose change on the table. The atmosphere was lively.
"Is everything done?" Tian Zhen asked, looking up as the two returned.
"It's done. The glass's broken, and the dead dog's thrown in too," one of the tall, thin thugs said.
Tian Zhen nodded in satisfaction, while Zhou Shujun, standing beside him, said with a smile, "Brother Zhen, you really know how to do things. After scaring Li Xiuyuan like that, he'll probably run back to town tonight."
"Haha, Meilin Village belongs to all the people of Meilin Village, not to some young punk who hasn't even grown up yet. Consider this a lesson for him. If he wants the land demolished, he can't have a penny less in compensation." Tian Zhen said, then looked at the two thugs and instructed them, "By the way, don't overthink this. They definitely won't be able to find out anything."
Everyone can testify that we've been eating, drinking, and playing cards together all night, and you haven't left once. Isn't that right?
Tian Zhen raised his voice, and the others in the room chimed in, "Yes, they've never left."
“We can testify.”
“I testify that I have never left.”
"Haha," Tian Zhen laughed.
The tall, thin thug laughed and said, "Brother Zhen, don't worry. Even if they find out, it doesn't matter to us. It's just a broken window, what's the big deal? We can just pay for it, or maybe stay in jail for a couple of days. We'll handle it."
“Yeah, we two can handle it.” Another thug said with a laugh, not taking the matter seriously at all. They used this kind of tactic all the time and were used to it.
It doesn't matter if I end up in the police station; I can just stay for a couple of days. They even provide meals there.
This is also one of their common tactics when dealing with ordinary people; they just want to wear you down and make things difficult for you.
"Haha, sit down, sit down and play cards." Tian Zhen waved his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down.
One of the tall, thin thugs hesitated for a moment before speaking, "By the way, Brother Zhen, after we smashed the glass and threw away the dead dog, although the lights were on inside, there wasn't a sound at all."
Tian Zhen was taken aback when he heard this, then laughed and said, "It's normal that there's no movement. I guess this kid is scared out of his wits. How could a young man have experienced something like this before?"
Zhou Shujun chimed in sarcastically, "Yeah, this kid might even wet his pants in fear. He usually looks so imposing, but when it comes to trouble, he's just a young punk who's never seen anything like our methods."
The atmosphere inside the room became lively.
At the same time, Li Xiuyuan got up, opened the door of the house, walked out of the yard, came to the gate of the yard, opened the gate of the village committee compound, and went back into the house.
When Shi Yufei arrived at Li Xiuyuan's office in the village committee compound, Li Xiuyuan was smoking a cigarette. He didn't touch the broken bricks, the dead dog, or the glass shards on the ground.
Shi Yufei was shocked: "Mayor Li, who did this? I'm calling for help right now."
