Chapter 113: Change an obedient director
"Five hundred thousand, not a rupee less." As if he didn't understand what Hal meant, he ignored him and insisted on the amount.
Although the loss of the houses and property of those poor people was certainly far less than 500,000 rupees, and it might really be 50,000 rupees at most as Hal said, but so what? This is the Haraig Police Station, where Rawdon has the final say.
No compensation? Even a bail letter from the court is useless.
These words made Hal look angry. This bastard was so despicable. Even in this situation, he still wanted to insist. Where did he get the confidence from?
Hal wanted to scold Rod.
But he was stopped by Hundan.
Hun Dan whispered something in Hal's ear.
The angry look on Hal's face slowly calmed down.
"Okay, I'll pay the 500,000 yuan compensation." Hal stared at Roden and said coldly, "Can you let him go now?"
"Hand over the money with one hand and the person with the other!" said Roton.
Hal snorted coldly and left immediately, but before leaving he left a message: "I'm going to get the money and will be back soon."
500,000 rupees is really nothing to Hal.
Hal returned home soon and immediately took out 500,000 rupees in cash from his home.
These big investors basically like to hoard cash, especially those like Hal who have huge amounts of money of unknown origin, and also to avoid taxes.
He had crores of rupees in cash at his residence in Kharegar alone, not to mention elsewhere.
Just 500,000 rupees, just a drop in the bucket.
What Hun Dan said just now was right. There was no need to confront Roton head-on at this time. I should get Raji out first.
Otherwise, Raj is still in the police station and in Rotten's hands, so they would be a little hesitant and unable to let go.
As long as Raji comes out, it will be very easy for him to deal with Rodon. He can be squeezed out by any tricks.
What's the point of keeping a disobedient director? Then replace him with an obedient one.
Stacks of rubles were piled on Rawdon's desk.
"500,000 rupees, Chief Mahesh, count it," said Hal.
Roton took a look and knew that the amount must be fine.
"I believe Mr. Scindia." Roton smiled, and then began to check, counting the amount and verifying the authenticity.
Hal's face trembled. Damn it, is this what you call believing in yourself? He counted the rupees so carefully? He even looked them up and down. Could these rupees be fake? Who does he think he is? "Someone come." After dozens of minutes, Rawdon finally stopped.
With such a large sum of money, it is definitely better to be careful. If this bastard cheats you, wouldn't you be a joke? After all, there are quite a lot of counterfeit banknotes in India, which can be said to be a bit rampant.
"Chief!" A police officer came in immediately.
"Raj Scindia has a bail letter issued by the court, you go and bring him here," said Roden.
Hearing this, Hal secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This kid finally compromised.
To be honest, he was still worried that Rotten might change his mind again.
After all, Rotten was a guy who dared to refuse orders from his superiors.
Raj was brought over quickly. When he saw his father and the grand scene, he quickly understood what was going on.
So, Raj looked at Roden with a provocative look in his eyes: "Director Mahesh, didn't you arrest me and finally let me go?"
"Raj, don't be complacent." Roden said calmly, "It's just bail, it doesn't absolve you of your crime. As long as the case is not closed, you must report to the police station every morning to sign. You are on bail now, not acquitted."
"Don't worry, I'm in Harege Township and I won't run away. I will report to the police station every day and won't give you an excuse to arrest me again." Raj said.
Raj was in a very good mood. In his opinion, if he came out, it would be a disgrace to Rodon.
What the hell, arrest me? What if they arrest me? They will release me right away? Don't they see whose territory this is? "Dad, let's go back." Raji looked at his father and asked.
"No hurry." Hal smiled, then looked at Roden and said, "Director Mahesh, can those people who were arrested in the case of the three girls a few days ago be released?"
"The murder of three girls?" asked Rawdon.
"Yes, they should be released now, right?" Hal shook his head slightly.
"Their crimes are proven, how can we let them go?" Rotten refused.
"No way?" Hal said with exaggerated surprise on his face, "I heard that a criminal who you said was guilty of this case was released. He sexually assaulted one of the girls. It's strange, why was he acquitted? Such different treatment, I wonder if Director Mahesh can give everyone an explanation?"
Hal's words immediately aroused great interest among the reporters present.
For them, although they came here at the invitation of Hal and received a lot of financial benefits from Hal, they would also be happy to report it if there was really big news.
"It's simple. Wes Scindia's family and the victim's family reached an understanding under the coordination of the police," Rawdon replied.
"Really? Then why don't the police coordinate with other people and the victims' families?" Hal asked.
"In fact, the police were supposed to help them coordinate, but it hasn't even started yet," said Roden. "The successful reconciliation between Wes Scindia and the victim's family provided an excellent reference for our police."
"May I ask, Director, what do you mean by reference?"
"Yeah, what do you mean?"
…
The reporters couldn't help but ask.
"300,000 rupees. As long as the perpetrators compensate the victims' families with 100,000 rupees each, a total of 300,000 rupees, they can be forgiven," said Roden.
As soon as these words were spoken, the office fell silent.
Although people don't openly say Dalits are untouchables, they still discriminate against Dalits in their hearts.
The life of a Dalit is worth 100,000 rupees? Is that crazy? Every day in India, I don't know how many Dalits are killed by upper castes for no reason, but how many of these upper caste murderers have been convicted? Not to mention any compensation.
So what Roton said about paying 100,000 rupees to each victim's family was too shocking.
Everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
"Director Mahesh, who are you kidding? Who believes that each person has to pay 100,000 rupees?" Hal was the first to react and questioned, "Does everyone believe it?"
Not all of those high-caste thugs who follow Raj are rich. Among those imprisoned, half of them certainly cannot come up with 300,000 rupees, and the other half will probably have to sell everything they have to get it together.
These guys' families are basically ruined.
Lisa's family is actually one of the richest in Haragu Township.
Many people present expressed their support for Hal's words.
"Director Mahesh, please produce evidence, otherwise we will just think that you are up to something in this private settlement," Hal continued.
"I have evidence." At this time, Huba came back, and with him came the families of the victims.
The camera immediately turned to Huba, and everyone saw that he was a deputy inspector, which meant he was a high-ranking official in the police station, so his words still mattered.
"Just now, Wes's family and the victim's family reached an agreement. I have taken them to deposit the money in the bank. This is the bank deposit certificate." Huba asked the victim's family for the certificate, which had the deposit amount on it, and it was all displayed in front of the camera.
It is still too dangerous for each family to carry 100,000 rupees in cash, especially for these Dalits, as they can easily be robbed.
And Bud will also arrange for them to live in Harreg Township. They now have 100,000 rupees and can find a small home here, and he will be better able to take care of their safety.
Otherwise, he would have no time to take care of it in the remote rural suburbs.
With Huba's encouragement, the victim's family also explained the truth to everyone.
"It's fake, all fake." Hal yelled, "Director Mahesh, they have 100,000 rupees in their account now, but what about the future? How much can they really get in the future? It's just your trick, you are fooling people."
It has to be said that most of the people present were also skeptical, after all, Roton could do something about it afterwards.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When Rawdon went to these Dalits to ask for money, did they dare not give it to him?
In short, one hundred thousand rupees was nonsense in their eyes, and it was just a way for Rawdon to make money.
"Pay the money to settle, or you'll be locked up and wait for the court to sentence you." Roton said calmly.
He didn't want to explain anything further. After all, these guys were just looking for trouble.
No matter how much you explain, they can always find fault with it.
Hal and his group stayed in the police station for a long time before leaving.
Huba said with a worried look on his face: "Director, they will definitely make a big fuss about the amount of compensation, even if we are telling the truth, but~~"
"No one will believe it?" asked Rawdon.
"Yes." Huba sighed, "If I wasn't the one who handled it, I wouldn't believe it."
"Let them do the publicity and build momentum." Roton said with a smile.
"Director?" Huba was a little confused.
Even though he knew that Rotun had a backer, the power of these media was very strong. Once public opinion was formed, it would be very fatal to Rotun.
With Hal's family adding fuel to the fire, it would be difficult for Rawdon to escape unscathed.
"Don't worry."
Seeing that Rotun was so confident, Huba said nothing more. He could only choose to believe Rotun.
And he also hoped that Rawdon could really defeat the Hal family and eradicate the cancer of Harreg Township.
When Rawdon was the only one left in the office, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It was really frustrating.
To be honest, he really wanted to jump out and beat up these two bastards, Hal and Raj, one big and one small.
Of course, it’s definitely not a good idea to do this now.
Luoton took out his cell phone and called Fia.
"Hey~~ Director, do you have any instructions?" Fia's crisp laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm not asking for any advice from the director general. I just want to ask you, the chief executive officer," Luoton replied.
"Okay, just tell me what you want to say." Feiya smiled, "Unando sent me the content of the past two days, especially the news he just sent me. It's very good, but I didn't send it out without you. Can you send it out after you call? Some of your actions over there are a bit shocking. I can guarantee that it won't be long. Maybe tomorrow you will be famous in the Pune area. They will describe you as a bully chief who does all kinds of evil! Tsk tsk, Mumbai hero, bully chief, the contrast is too great."
Fia works in the media and journalism industry, so she knows all this very well.
Unando has already reported to her what happened in the police station. These media reporters have been bribed by Hal, and they will definitely work very hard. It goes without saying what their reports will be about.
"Don't make fun of me." Luo Dun said, "Director, I need your help with something."
"Since you provided me with great news, I will definitely help you in any way I can." Fia said happily.
"If this really happens, it will definitely be big news and will definitely catch people's attention," said Roton.
"Why don't you just tell me now and don't keep us in suspense." Fia was a little anxious.
"It's like this, I would like to ask you for help to go to the court in Pune District..." Roden and Fia told their plans.
"Will this work?" After hearing Roton's plan, Fia expressed her doubts. This plan was too exaggerated and she didn't think it would succeed.
"You'll know if you try it," Rawdon said with a smile, "Even if you fail, there's no loss."
"Although you have brought me a lot of surprises, I don't think your plan will succeed this time." Fia was very skeptical about Roton's plan.
"Ms. Mishra, don't underestimate those people's greed, and don't think they are too shrewd. Do you want to take a gamble?" said Roton.
"What are you betting on?" asked Fia.
"How about I treat the loser to a meal?" Rotten asked with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll try it according to your plan tomorrow." Fia said.
"It would be better to try a few more courts. I believe there will always be someone willing to do so," said Rawdon.
"I understand. I will definitely try my best. My victory must be fair, otherwise you will default on your debt. Wait for my news." Fia was still not optimistic about Roton's plan.
After hanging up the phone, Luoton finally felt more at ease.
Fia did not quite agree with his plan, and Roton could understand that.
But thinking about this news in his previous life, Roton felt that he had underestimated the outrageousness and weirdness of India.
Although the news did not happen in Pune, Rawdon believed that the situation here was not much better, so it would be entirely possible to succeed.
This was the backup plan that Roton had prepared. He had Fia, the director of the All India Television, to back him up. Otherwise, Hal wouldn't have been so arrogant with these media reporters.
Of course, it was a bit of a surprise to Roton that Fia agreed to the bet.
This bet was actually just something Roton said casually, and he didn't expect Fia to agree.
This is not to say that Roton was coveting Fia's beauty, although this woman was indeed very beautiful, and the temperament of a high-caste noble lady was incomparable to Itas and Lisa.
Roton did this in order to get closer to Fia.
This woman has a very powerful background, so I have to make good use of her and maintain a good relationship with her.
