Chapter 289: Qin Chuan

At this moment, Qin Chuan was leisurely drinking tea.

Xu Jin stood to one side, sitting down to report, "Secretary Qin, the villagers of Shuagua Zhuang Village really didn't let us down. This bunch of people are truly blinded by greed; they can fight to the death over a little bit of profit."

"How much money can that little bit of land be worth? At most, it's a few tens of thousands of yuan. Even if we gave them a bit more, it would only be a hundred thousand. And guess what happened? They started using weapons, and it looked like blood was about to be shed."

"I estimate it was Jiang da tou's group who called the police. Sun Chengjun went over and actually fired his gun in public. Although he caught Du lao er, there is no way this group of people will let it go at that."

"Anyway, there are plenty of people fanning the flames behind the scenes; this is definitely going to end in disaster. Should we...?"

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Don't you get involved in this matter. We are leaders of the Town Government; we cannot get mixed up in these kinds of things. If it gets out, people will laugh at us."

Qin Chuan's such grand perspective and such high political standing suddenly left Xu Jin unable to react. Wasn't this exactly what Qin Chuan wanted to see? For the situation to evolve to this point should have exceeded expectations, so why had he suddenly become a good person?

This transformation was truly unexpected for him, but as Qin Chuan's chief steward, even if he had thoughts, he could not show them.

He smiled directly and said, "Secretary Qin is truly brilliant. Your political standing is something I could never reach in this lifetime. If that's the case, I'll find a way to tell the people in their village to nip this matter in the bud completely and not let them cause any more trouble."

"If this blows up, it won't be good for you either."

Qin Chuan shook his head again, "What are you thinking? There are some things we don't instigate or incite, but we also have no way to stop them. After all, this is a matter for the Police Station, right?"

"But why can't we let this matter continue to ferment? Firstly, it's for the face of our Town Government. If it really blows up and Four Seas Biological withdraws their investment, the ones who will lose face in the end are our Town Government leadership team."

"Moreover, the matter has already reached this point; if things go wrong, it will become very ugly. So, tonight, you give the person in charge of Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical a call and say we'd like to invite them to a meal to comfort them."

"As for the specifics, we will still stick to the piece of land they have their eyes on now."

"Of course, there is no need for them to go to the site these next two days. They just need to keep this in mind to avoid any further problems."

"However, there are some things that aren't for us to step forward for, nor are they things our status should be doing. If we can control it, help control it."

"After all, Mayor Su hasn't returned yet. We will wait until he returns to discuss everything."

Xu Jin immediately understood what was going on. It wasn't that they didn't want the matter to blow up, but rather they were waiting for Su Yang to return so that the matter could erupt at the perfect moment.

When that time came, the blame would be on Su Yang to bear.

He thought to himself that Qin Chuan was still Qin Chuan; he hadn't changed even a little bit.

After grasping Qin Chuan's meaning, he said, "Secretary Qin, if that's the case, then what about the villagers causing trouble? Actually, we don't need to persuade them or anything, just make sure it doesn't get too big."

"I heard that if things go wrong, Du lao er's group is planning to go to the Police Station tonight to find their people. That bunch are legal illiterates; they're capable of anything."

Qin Chuan chuckled and said, "Du lao er and his gang of thugs—even if you gave them a few dozen more people, it would be impossible for them to snatch anyone out of the Police Station."

"Don't forget that Sun Chengjun and his men have guns, and Sun Chengjun is the type who dares to fire. This is the first time this has happened in our Huatian Town."

To hear the sound by beating the drum, to hear the meaning in the words.

Xu Jin immediately understood what this meant. He said immediately, "Him firing his gun to deal with our common people—is there something slightly wrong with that?"

"I think this matter should attract our attention. If necessary, we should draft a report in the name of our Town Government to the County Public Security Bureau to explain these things."

"Our common people are all simple and kind. If they are scared into a bad state, or if a mass incident or other uncontrollable events occur because of the gunfire, we cannot bear that responsibility."

Qin Chuan smiled and nodded, "Since you have this idea, then go do it."

He also thought to himself that Xu Jin was truly becoming more and more cunning; his thoughts could be fathomed so clearly. It seemed he would have to be on guard against this old fellow in the future.

At this very moment, Li Hu and Dai Yaxuan were also discussing together, "Brother Li, how should we handle this? Should we report it to Mayor Su?"

"Besides, you know the situation here; there are definitely people fanning the flames behind the scenes. The reason they are doing this is fundamentally to cause trouble for Mayor Su."

"And if things go wrong, Four Seas Biological will withdraw their investment."

Li Hu shook his head slightly and said, "Four Seas Biological withdrawing their investment is impossible because this was signed in by Secretary Qin through investment promotion. If there were truly factors in that regard, he would have stepped forward long ago; how could he possibly be hiding until now without showing his face?"

"He is just watching the matter ferment, watching it become impossible to clean up. I even suspect he is waiting for Mayor Su to return and then dump the whole matter onto Mayor Su's side."

"They caught Du lao er's people today. If there are people fanning the flames behind the scenes, they might go to the Police Station to cause trouble in the middle of the night."

"And everyone has seen Director Sun's courage; he is a man who dares to fire his gun. If things go wrong, he might be caught by the handle and have it blown out of proportion. Otherwise, let's go to the Police Station."

Inside the Police Station, Sun Chengjun was looking with a gloomy face at the few police officers and over a dozen joint defense team members who had retreated far away just now.

Some of these people had wandering gazes, some looked indifferent, and some were subconsciously looking down at their own toes, not wanting to make any eye contact with Sun Chengjun at all.

This was the first time they had experienced such a scene. Why say it was the first time? Because such things had never happened before, and those two, Chang Wei and Li Bo, were basically in cahoots with the local thugs and ruffians.

It would be no exaggeration to say they were all in the same boat. How could they have had such a conflict?

At this time, Sun Chengjun said to the group of police officers, "You all know what happened today; I don't want to bring it up again."

"But I want to tell you that I can allow such a thing to happen once, but I will never allow it to happen a second time."

"I don't care what you are thinking in your hearts, and I don't care how you acted in the past, but the past is the past, and now is now."

"From now on, everyone will be divided into three shifts to keep watch. Absolutely no one is allowed to approach Du lao er, nor is anyone allowed to visit him. He will be detained for a full seven days."

After speaking, he turned and entered his office. He also knew that these villagers were not easy to deal with. They looked simple and kind, but they couldn't withstand someone fanning the flames behind their backs. Once someone deliberately instigated them, there was no telling what they might do.

If he were facing a dozen heinous criminals, even if there were dozens of them, he would not hesitate and would not feel a shred of fear.

But if he were facing deceived common people, he simply couldn't bring himself to act.

Just at this time, Li Hu and Dai Yaxuan arrived. ===== CHAPTER 290 =====
