At the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.
Why did you bring me here?
Da Xiong watched Zhang He drive to the police station. He himself used to be involved in the underworld.
He was most afraid of going to places like this, and then looked at Zhang He with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Oh, I'm not going to arrest you. We're here for those people."
Looking at the nervous bear, Zhang He rolled his eyes at him, then pointed to some people on the roadside opposite the police station and said.
"Shanggong Group, a heartless and tyrannical company, deserves to pay for murder! Aren't these the villagers?"
Following Zhang He's pointing finger, Da Xiong could see that some people were holding up banners across the street. Looking at the words written on the banners, he understood who these people were. Although Da Xiong hadn't been to the scene, he had heard the news that had come back to him.
“We’re here to get these villagers back. The chairman has already said that no matter what method we use, you’re responsible for my safety later.”
Zhang He also looked at the villagers with a solemn expression. Although he was not the one who caused their families to be destroyed, he was still a participant in the incident and was afraid that they would get emotional and hit him.
"Hello, are you villagers from Shanghe Village?"
Zhang He led the bear to the leader and asked him with a smile.
"I am who you are."
The old man leading the group glanced at the burly bear behind Zhang He.
Sensing that Zhang He and his companion had ill intentions, the net took a few steps back and asked Zhang He.
"First, let me introduce myself. I am the business manager from Shanggong Group."
Just as Zhang He revealed that he was from Shanggong Group, before he could continue speaking, the villagers rushed towards him with hatred in their eyes.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang He quickly hid behind the bear and shouted at the agitated villagers.
"Wait a minute, if you don't want to solve the problem, then do whatever you want!"
As soon as Zhang He finished speaking, everyone stopped in their tracks.
They came to the police station and put up banners, hoping the police would intervene and handle the matter properly.
"Wait a minute, let's hear what these people have to say?"
An older man stepped forward and addressed the still angry villagers.
"I know we were wrong, and our company will pay double the compensation for everyone."
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, he stepped out from behind the bear and addressed all the villagers.
"You think you can just fob us off with a little money? Do you think we're only in it for the money?"
A voice rang out from the crowd, tinged with disdain.
"Who is speaking? Can we talk face to face?"
Zhang He searched back and forth in the crowd, but could not find the person who had spoken.
Zhang He snorted coldly, then shouted into the crowd.
After Zhang He finished speaking, there was silence in the crowd. At this moment, Zhang He realized that someone must have been up to something.
"Since the person who spoke earlier isn't coming out, then I'll explain to you. Although our initial compensation wasn't high, we've now doubled it. You can go around asking around; double the price isn't a small amount. Aren't you making a scene here just for this demolition compensation?"
Seeing everyone lower their heads to think, Zhang He knew that these villagers were only pretending to be righteous.
In reality, they are all acting in their own self-interest, plotting their own schemes.
Zhang He grasped their psychological characteristics, and for a time the villagers wavered.
"You murderers! My husband died at your hands!"
Just as everyone was about to give in, a few people walked over from a distance, crying as they spoke to Zhang He.
"Yes, the murderer must be severely punished!"
"Severely punish the murderer!"
"Please calm down, everyone. We are here as representatives to resolve this issue. Please feel free to speak your mind. As long as our company can solve it, nothing else matters."
Just when they were about to take down these people, these women ruined everything. Zhang He suppressed his anger and spoke to the villagers.
"First, we demand double the compensation, which also includes our emotional distress and some damaged items."
The village chief raised his hand, and everyone shut their mouths. After thinking for a moment, the village chief spoke to Zhang He.
"There is absolutely no problem with that. The money allocated from above was the same as the initial amount, but to express our apology, Shanggong Group took all the extra money."
Upon hearing that the village chief demanded double the compensation, Zhang He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
In order to save costs, their company initially offered less than a quarter of the compensation they received, and only then did they ask for half of the compensation.
Zhang He was also very confident; he didn't need to consult Liu Shang at all, as the manager of the business department, he could make the decisions himself.
"Manager, this is no small matter. There are at least a hundred households in this village. If our company is to take all of it, we should at least inform the chairman!"
Da Xiong was unaware of the profits involved, and Zhang He had never involved Da Xiong in the matter. Zhang He initially thought that this project would definitely allow him to gain a more stable position within the company.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred. Big Bear, who knew nothing about the situation, looked at Zhang He with a worried expression and asked him about his unauthorized decision.
"I'm in charge of this matter, and the company will definitely agree with me doing so."
Zhang He hadn't expected Da Xiong to cooperate with him so much. Since that was the case, Zhang He spoke to Da Xiong with a righteous air.
He even deliberately raised his voice so that all the villagers could hear him clearly.
"Okay, good. It's good that you can make the decision. There's also the issue of compensation for these two widows, and we need to find out who did it! We will never let the murderer get away with it."
The village chief listened to Zhang He's words and nodded in satisfaction, thinking that Zhang He was also a person with a sense of justice.
Then he looked at the two widows who were crying beside him and said to Zhang He.
"Village chief, please come over here with the two families who can make decisions. Let's discuss the compensation issue in detail. I'd also like to invite you to a meal."
Zhang He was also in a bit of a dilemma. Compensation would be easy to discuss, but it would be difficult if Shanggong Group were to hand over its three directors.
Knowing Liu Shang's personality, he would never agree to that. Then he thought of a plan and said with a smile in the village chief's ear.
"Okay, Xiaofang and Dazhuang, you two come with me and have a good talk with this manager."
Da Xiong also drove his car to the side, and Zhang He smiled and opened the car door.
Although the two widows deeply resented Zhang He, he was already dead and could not be brought back to life.
After thinking about it, they got into the car with the village chief.
