Thirty or forty police officers surrounded everyone. A middle-aged man came down and shouted, "What are you doing? Put down what you're holding!"
"What's going on? A group fight? Village Chief Zhao, what's happening?"
“These people have broken into the village and caused trouble. The villagers have been forced to defend themselves!” Zhao Ergou shouted.
"You're the boss who acquired the electronics factory, right? You've been making quite a stir these past few days." The man stared at Lu Feng and said, "I'm the head of the local police station. Now, have all your men put down their sticks and come back with me to give statements. Tell me everything that happened."
“I was planning to acquire an electronics factory, and I needed to go to the village to understand the situation, but they blocked me and are also suspected of fraud,” Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
“He hit someone, Sun Er was hit, he has to pay compensation. He’s not leaving today without paying. He brought people into the village in broad daylight to beat someone up, there’s no law anymore.” Zhao Ergou said, pulling Sun Er over and saying, “Pay compensation!”
"Hitting someone is wrong. I don't care what company or group you're in. Come with me now."
A group of people rushed forward, ready to handcuff Lu Feng. The hired men, seeing this, didn't dare to act. Lu Feng struggled, saying, "You're only going to handcuff me, right? My paperwork is legal, why are you arresting me?"
"You hit me!"
"If they hadn't stopped them, why would they have hit someone? The problem lies with them."
“They’ll talk about it in town, and why are you getting involved with so many people? I have reason to suspect you of starting a brawl.”
"Can't these be my bodyguards? They're my company's employees!"
Three or four people were holding Lu Feng by the shoulders, and his hands were already handcuffed. Once he was detained, if Zhao Ergou's demands were not met, a settlement could not be reached, and Lu Feng would have no other choice but to pay money.
"Get in the car, Village Chief Zhao, you get in too, we're going back to give a statement!"
Before everyone could even get into the car, the police sirens blared again, and everyone present was stunned. Why was another group of police officers here?
Five cars arrived this time. When they got to the scene, the doors opened, and the cars were fully equipped. The driver looked like he was facing a major threat. A man in his forties got out of one of the cars and asked, "Where are you from?"
"We are from the Tianhe Township Police Station. Where are you from?"
"We're from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Have the hostages been rescued? Where are the kidnappers?"
"Huh? Kidnapper...?"
“We received a report that the chairman of Jiafeng Electronics Technology had been kidnapped to Xiaoli Village. They called to demand a ransom. This matter has alarmed the city. Secretary Huang will be here soon.”
"I am Lu Feng, the chairman of Jiafeng Electronics Technology!" Lu Feng said.
Why did you handcuff him?
“They got into a fight with the people from Xiaoli Village. They gathered a bunch of people, so I handcuffed them and prepared to take them back for questioning.”
"We were blocked because they wouldn't let us into the village. We had already contacted the city to acquire the electronics factory and had the right to inspect the surrounding environment. They blocked us, which led to the conflict," Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
“It’s from the city. It might be a false alarm. He injured someone, so we have to take him away.” The police chief called out and was about to detain Lu Feng.
"Wait, since it was a false police report, we should take him back to the city for questioning. Please hand him over to us."
"Why should we hand it over to you? This happened in our jurisdiction, don't interfere."
The man from the city glanced at Lu Feng. He had heard some things about Lu Feng's connections. If he were taken to the township, who knows how much suffering he would endure. Most importantly, Huang Youwei would be here soon.
According to procedure, Lu Feng was detained by the township government, and the city government had to go through the county government. The public security bureau has two leaders, which is very troublesome, so they can't let him take people away.
"Block the car door for me. I'd like to see you take someone away today!"
The villagers and the thugs Lu Feng hired were dumbfounded. How could they have gotten into a fight like this?
The two sides were packed together, glaring at each other, and some even started tearing at each other.
An Audi sped up, and the driver, seeing the scene at the village entrance, was also dumbfounded, exclaiming, "So many people?"
Seeing this situation, Huang Youwei inwardly cried out in alarm. He had already given Lu Feng a thorough dressing-down, and if the conflict resulted in bloodshed, he would definitely be held accountable.
"No fighting! Let go of each other!" Huang Youwei roared and charged over, with Secretary Cui jogging after him, carrying her bag.
When Zhao Ergou saw Huang Youwei arrive, his face turned grim. This matter had really blown up today. He turned around and quietly instructed, "Call those bosses, tell them what happened, and ask what to do. This is going to be a big problem."
Huang Youwei rushed over and his first question was: "Is anyone hurt? Is no one dead?"
"I feel terrible, my head hurts!" Sun Er cried out as he lay on the ground.
"Quick! Take him to the hospital," Huang Youwei said urgently.
“No one hit him; he lay down on the ground by himself,” Lu Feng said.
"Nothing is allowed to happen. You're not in charge, so of course you can find a bunch of people to storm the village with sticks. Send him to the hospital!" Huang Youwei shouted.
A group of people carried Sun Er into a car and took him to the hospital.
"Hello, Secretary Huang. I'm from the township police station. We need to detain this person, but the municipal bureau won't allow it. I'm just following the rules."
"Rules? What rules? I only care about the law, not rules. You don't protect local businesses; instead, you fuel the fire. I think you've reached the end of your career," Huang Youwei roared.
The other person stood there looking completely indifferent. At worst, they'd just take it off and it'd be back in a few days!
"Take off the handcuffs, this matter needs to be resolved, the problem with the electronics factory needs to be solved. Such a large investment, such a good enterprise, is a treasure for Xiaoli Village, but why has this treasure been turned away time and time again? It's nothing more than a matter of public versus private interests."
