Chapter 32: Forced Demolition
Wang Wan's family is located in the northwest of Jianghuai City, just out of the urban area, if you rush from Baolian Mountain, you don't need to go through the urban area, the speed is naturally much faster.
Ji Yan drove all the way from the Third Ring Road, and it only took more than half an hour to arrive at the address given by Xu Zhuo.
In fact, the two of them are not strangers to this place, because they came here at the same time to shoot some materials because of a show together, and they know that this place can actually be regarded as a "slum" in Jianghuai City, and the people living in Jianghuai City are the poorest people at the bottom, and the living environment is naturally not much better.
As soon as the two of them got out of the car, a pungent smell mixed with various chaotic smells hit their faces, making Xu Zhuo frown slightly.
When he turned his head to look, he found that Ji Yan was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be moved by the harsh environment around him at all.
For this advantage of Ji Yan, Xu Zhuo has always admired it very much in his heart.
In the past year of working together, Ji Yan has been in contact with the lives of the people at the bottom of Jianghuai City countless times because of the "Life Bits" program she hosted, but no matter how dirty and messy the environment is, she can deal with it calmly, and never shows any dissatisfaction and contempt.
"372 Hidden Dragon Street?" Ji Yan looked up at the door beams of the dilapidated houses on both sides of the narrow street, and found that there was no trace of the house number at all, so she asked Xu Zhuo, "Do you know how to get there?" ”
"I only learned about this address today, and I haven't been here before." Xu Zhuo shook his head, and just wanted to take out his mobile phone to call Zhou Jing again, but suddenly heard a few shouts not far from the left front, mixed with a few sharp scoldings.
Xu Zhuo and Ji Yan glanced at each other, and walked quickly in that direction.
As soon as he turned a street corner, Xu Zhuo heard Zhou Jing's voice coming from the front.
"I warn you, if you dare to do it again, don't blame me for being rude!"
"You're welcome?" In response to Zhou Jing, it was a young man's voice with a ruffian. "Hey, little girl, how are you going to be rude to us? Use your little arms and legs against us? Or with the chest that pair of XX? ”
As soon as the words fell, there was another very cooperative lewd laugh.
Xu Zhuo frowned and quickened his pace.
Obviously, Zhou Jing is probably facing a group of people now.
"You ......" Zhou Jing was angrily pointing at a few guys who looked like ruffians and hooligans opposite, and when he was about to scold loudly again, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Zhuo turning out of the back of a house, and he was immediately overjoyed. Brother Xu, you're finally here......"
Halfway through her words, she was stunned again.
Because behind Xu Zhuo, there was also a person who was about two or three years older than him, extremely bright and beautiful, both dressed and his expression and temperament were extremely good, not at all like a young beauty who should appear in this kind of shabby slum.
The guys standing opposite Zhou Jing saw that Zhou Jing suddenly turned his eyes behind him and the others, and when they all turned their heads to look, they saw Xu Zhuo and Ji Yan, and laughed loudly again.
"Haha, this is the helper you've been waiting for for a long time? Just such a person with a chick, what can he do with us? ”
Xu Zhuo glanced at these guys and found that each of them was carrying a stick in his hand, and he unabashedly put on a posture of "Lao Tzu is a hooligan" regardless of his posture or facial expression, and couldn't help frowning.
Wang Wanquan and Wei Fang are both the most ordinary poor people at the bottom of society, how could they provoke a few ruffians and hooligans to come to the door for no reason?
turned his gaze to Zhou Jing again, and saw Wang Wanquan and Wei Fang being protected by Zhou Jing.
Wang Wanquan's face was bruised, and the old clothes on his body had become tattered at this time, and there were still a few blood stains on them.
Wei Fang was lying beside him, his eyes closed and he didn't move much, and he didn't know if he had fainted.
Xu Zhuo hurriedly walked to their side, squatted down and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Wang Wanquan raised his head and looked at Xu Zhuo with one of his eyes, which was already obviously swollen, and it took a while to recognize Xu Zhuo.
"It's Master Xu, why are you here too?"
"Zhou Jing sent me a letter. What's wrong with my sister-in-law now? Xu Zhuo's gaze fell on Wei Fang, who was still closing her eyes tightly and her face was even more ugly than when she saw her in the morning.
"She'......"
"Now is not the time to ask this." At this time, Ji Yan had already walked over, just glanced at Wang Wanquan and Wei Fang, and said to Xu Zhuo: "Her condition doesn't look very good, let's send it to the hospital for examination first." ”
"Well, the most important thing is to send it to the hospital for a check-up for my sister-in-law first." Xu Zhuo nodded in agreement with Ji Yan's opinion, then got up and asked Zhou Jing, "You came by car, right?" ”
"Well, stop outside." Zhou Jing nodded.
"Then you and Brother Wang, carry your sister-in-law to the car, and then send them to the hospital for a check-up." Speaking of this, Xu Zhuo lowered his voice. "The money will be deducted from my remuneration this time, and if it is not enough, I will talk about it."
Zhou Jing's eyes widened: "Brother Xu, who do you think of me?" I'm out of the money! ”
Xu Zhuo frowned and looked at her, thinking that now was not the time to argue about this, so he patted her on the shoulder.
"Alright, let's get people to the hospital first."
"Okay."
Zhou Jing turned around and said a few words to Wang Wanquan, and directly carried Wei Fang.
Seeing that she was about to carry Wei Fang to the outside, the rascal who spoke up just now spoke again.
"Yo, who gave you the go? I'll tell you, if this matter is not resolved today, none of you will want to leave! ”
Xu Zhuo smiled, and just wanted to speak, but Ji Yan took a step forward, grabbed in front of him and said: "I'm Ji Yan, a reporter from Jianghuai TV, if you don't want what happened today to be exposed, it's best to leave now!" ”
Hearing this, Xu Zhuo was slightly stunned.
Ji Yan has always had a full sense of justice, why didn't she plan to pursue these ruffians and hooligans in this matter today, but wanted to let them go?
But after thinking about it, Xu Zhuo immediately understood, and couldn't help but give Ji Yan a thumbs up in his heart.
Now there are seven people on the other side, and Wang Wanquan and Wei Fang on their side obviously have no combat effectiveness, and Ji Yan is also impossible to do with people, although Zhou Jing has practiced taekwondo since he was a child, he can beat one or two ordinary people, but it is impossible for him to beat these seven prepared and armed ruffians.
In this case, it is obviously irrational to choose to be forceful, and the best solution is to get out first and then pursue it later.
Sure enough, hearing Ji Yan's threat, the seven ruffians on the other side all showed hesitant expressions.
A ruffian had been in charge of speaking before he arrived, as if he had said a few words in the ruffian's ear, and the leader's expression when he looked at Ji Yan became weird.
He glanced Ji Yan up and down, then squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Zhuo, snorted coldly, raised his hand, and took the lead to leave.
A moment later, the seven ruffians were gone.
"Alright, let's get them to the hospital first." Ji Yan exhaled softly, and it seemed that the situation just now still made her a little nervous.
Zhou Jing glanced at Ji Yan with admiration, and then carried Wei Fang on his back and strode out.
"Xu Zhuo, let's go and see it together, maybe there will be a theme for the next episode." Ji Yan greeted Xu Zhuo and walked out behind Zhou Jing and Wang Wanquan.
Only Xu Zhuo was a little stunned in the back.
He looked in the direction in which the seven ruffians had withdrawn, and his expression was strange.
According to the script he wrote in his heart, it was supposed that the seven ruffians were ferocious and wanted to attack their group of people, and then he showed his strength, taught this group of ruffians a good lesson, and showed his strength in front of Zhou Jing and Ji Yan.
But he didn't expect that these seven ruffians were really scared away by Ji Yan's words, so that he didn't even have the slightest chance to play.
"Hey, Xu Zhuo, what are you still in a daze? Come here. Ji Yan, who had already walked out a few steps, found that Xu Zhuo had not followed, so she turned around and urged.
"The current ruffians are too disrespectful...... Xu Zhuo could only smile wryly and shake his head, and followed.
Half an hour later, Zhou Jing's Buick GL8 and Ji Yan's fiery red two-door car drove five people to the First People's Hospital of Jianghuai City, and with Ji Yan's acquaintance, they quickly arranged for Wei Fang to be hospitalized.
While waiting for the inspection, they finally had the opportunity to ask Wang Wanquan about the matter.
"Alas...... It's not for demolition yet. Wang Wanquan sighed, looking quite helpless.
"Demolition?" Xu Zhuo was a little puzzled. "Are you going to tear it down too?"
"Well, it's not that Zhongzhou Group wants to develop the suburban land, and then our piece is just in the middle of that land and the urban area, and it says that it will hinder the development of the city or something...... I don't understand, anyway, I'm going to tear up all of us. ”
"Then why are there ruffians threatening you?" This time, Ji Yan was puzzled. "It stands to reason that before the demolition, the government should come to negotiate with you and make resettlement compensation in advance before the demolition can be carried out. Could it be that the state is now so strict that there are still people who dare to forcibly demolish it? ”
"I don't know if it's a forced demolition." Wang Wanquan looked dazed. "Anyway, last month, someone came to us and told us to demolish the place where we live and tell us to move out immediately. However, no one said anything about compensation and resettlement, only that we had to move, otherwise it would be enforced. We refused, we kept dragging on, and today these hooligans are coming. ”
"Humph! Isn't this a forced demolition? Zhou Jing on the side said angrily: "What age is it, there are still people who dare to find ruffians and hooligans to force people to demolish, and they can't talk about the law!" Brother Xu, Sister Ji, you are from the TV station, but you must expose this matter and make decisions for Brother Wang and them! ”
Ji Yan frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head slightly.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
After a pause, she asked Wang Wanquan again: "Brother Wang, do you have a complete property right certificate for the house you live in now?" ”
"Title deeds?" Wang Wanquan was stunned. "What's that?"
