Chapter 11 — I Was Forced to Pay 400,000 Yuan for an Unreal Window
The residents' meeting on Saturday was much more successful than I expected. The community center was packed with people. The hallways and doors were full of residents. At least more than three hundred households arrived. Truong Vi also personally brought two assistants to be present. Free legal advice for residents. At the same time, directly answer all kinds of professional issues related to abandoned apartments. The meeting atmosphere was extremely exciting. Under my coordination... Everything went smoothly beyond expectations. We approved the charter. At the same time, by overwhelming votes... Elected a resident representative board of seven people. Not unexpected... Chosen as head of the department. With the support of Truong Vi's team... Right on the spot, we collected more than two hundred and sixty authorization letters signed directly by residents. Along with that... There are stacks of house purchase contracts, bank statements and other evidence documents piled as high as mountains. Looking at that thick stack of authorization papers... I was filled with all kinds of emotions. It's not just legal documents. But also the heavy faith and hope of more than two hundred families. Liu Jianjun's counterattack... Also came faster than I thought. And much more sinister. Monday morning. I received a phone call from a resident named Ly Kien Quoc. He is over fifty years old and has an honest personality. Also a member of the residents' representative board. On the other end of the line... His voice trembled with panic, almost like he wanted to cry.
“Director Chu… it's not over… something happened!”
"Mr. Ly, don't rush, slowly tell me what's going on."
My heart immediately sank. Instinct told me something was wrong.
“This morning I went downstairs to prepare to drive to work…”
“Then it was discovered that all four wheels of the car had been hit and exploded!”
“The car's windshield was also spray-painted with two red words…”
“‘Want to die’.”
His voice trembled so much that he almost lost it.
“My wife was so scared that her legs softened on the spot…”
“Director Chu… they… they are targeting us!”
“They are warning us!”
I clenched my fist in an instant. It's true Liu Jianjun. Such a beautiful display of power. He didn't dare to touch me directly... He immediately chose to attack the most ordinary residents. He understood very well. This kind of insidious threat... How much psychological pressure would it create for a normal family?
“Mr. Ly, first of all, don't be afraid.”
“Don't touch the car either.”
“Protect the entire scene first.”
“I will call the police immediately, then immediately come to your place.”
I reassured him... I quickly called Truong Vi and told him the whole situation. On the other end of the phone, Truong Vi laughed coldly.
“It came at just the right time.”
“I'm still afraid he'll shrink his neck and become a turtle.”
“The more he does that…”
“Push yourself even more into the path of death.”
“You calm down that resident first.”
“Tell him this isn't a bad thing.”
“On the contrary…”
“It is our best counter-attack weapon.”
“Retain all evidence.”
“I will ask the police to file an investigation.”
“This was blatant intimidation and intentional destruction of property.”
“Enough to make him drink a large pitcher.”
Truong Vi's calmness and professionalism... Gives me a great sense of peace of mind. I immediately ran to Mr. Ly's residential area. Police pulled ropes to block off the scene. Mr. Ly and his wife stood aside with pale faces. There are quite a few around Neighbors are talking loudly. I walked over and patted his shoulder. In a low voice:
“Mr. Ly, don't be afraid.”
“The more they do that…”
“It proves that they are already afraid.”
“They are afraid of us uniting.”
“Afraid we will take up the weapon of the law and stand up.”
“This is not a warning.”
“But the ultimate madness.”
I intentionally raised my voice... So that all the neighbors around could hear.
“Did everyone see it?”
“This is the investor's trick!”
“They don't dare argue with us in court.”
“Don't dare to solve the problem in the light.”
“So I only dare to use this kind of dirty tricks to scare people!”
I looked around at the crowd. Slowly ask:
“Are we going to be scared?”
“Not afraid!”
In the crowd, someone leading the group shouted loudly.
"That's right! We're not afraid! At best, we'll fight them to the end!"
"Report to the police! The culprit must be severely punished!"
The crowd's emotions were once again blown up. Liu Jianjun's threat... Not only did it not disintegrate our will. On the contrary, it made everyone even more indignant. Looking at that scene... I was completely assured. I went aside. Called the phone number I just saved but still no response. Reporter for Do Do Giang Thanh newspaper.
"Hello, hello, is it reporter Tran? I'm Chu Nhien."
"Miss Chu! Hello hello! I've been waiting for your call!"
The female voice on the other end was clearly extremely excited.
“I decided to accept the interview.”
I said calmly.
“But not interviewing me personally.”
“I hope you can help organize a press conference.”
“Our representative board of Phi Thuy Giang Nam residents…”
“There is some important evidence that I want to announce to the whole society.”
"Proof?"
Reporter Tran immediately asked keenly.
“It is complete evidence that the investor fabricated the truth to conduct blackmail.”
“It is the latest evidence of them using gangster tricks to intimidate residents.”
“And there is…”
“More serious violations may exist behind the abandoned Phi Thuy Giang Nam apartment project.”
