Chapter 13
Chapter 13 — I Was Forced to Pay 400,000 Yuan for an Unreal Window
I move on to the next slide. A series of photos appeared on the big screen that sent chills down people's spines. A black car. All four wheels were crashed and blown flat. On the car windshield... Two red letters as bright as blood were sprayed with paint.
“Want to die.”
“This is Mr. Ly Kien Quoc.”
“Member of our residents' representative board.”
I pointed towards Mr. Ly sitting next to me. Under my beckoning gaze… He slowly stood up. His face was still a bit pale. Looked towards the camera and nodded heavily.
“Since the other morning…”
“When Mr. Ly was about to go to work…”
“His car turned into this.”
“That is the answer that the investor has for our residents.”
“They don't dare to face our demands directly.”
“So I want to use this kind of trick of not daring to see the light…”
“To scare us.”
“To make us back down.”
The scene immediately became violently chaotic. If the previous "window incident" still had a sense of irony and fantasy... Then this moment... That threat filled with violence... Made everyone feel truly chill. This is no longer a simple trade dispute. It's blatant provocation. I looked at Truong Vi. He immediately understood. Hold up the microphone in front of you.
"Hi everybody."
“I am Truong Vi.”
“The lawyer represents Ms. Chu Nhien and the representative board of Phi Thuy Giang Nam residents.”
As soon as he opened his mouth... He revealed the aura of a top lawyer.
“Based on the facts just mentioned…”
“We believe that the behavior of the investor and related individuals on the management board…”
“It is no longer simply a civil violation.”
“They used the method of fabricating the truth…”
“For the purpose of illegally appropriating property…”
“Through threatening residents to demand huge sums of money…”
"This act has shown signs of constituting the crime of unsuccessful property appropriation."
“Stabbing tires, spraying paint, threatening members of the residents' representative board…”
“There were signs of disorderly conduct and intentional destruction of property.”
Every crime Truong Vi said... was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.
“We officially declare to the entire society.”
“Currently, we represent more than two hundred and sixty households in the third area of Phi Thuy Giang Nam…”
“Officially filed a class action lawsuit with the People's Court of Jiangcheng City.”
“Request the investor to immediately stop the violation…”
“Compensation for losses…”
"At the same time, quickly continue construction and complete the project according to the contract."
“At the same time…”
“We have also completed all documents related to signs of crime…”
“Submit to the police and procuracy.”
“We believe…”
“The law will give us a fair verdict.”
Each sentence of Truong Vi resonated strongly. Tight logic. In the blink of an eye… Elevated the entire incident from just social news… To a serious legal matter. The microphone returned to my hand. I stood up. Bow deeply to all the cameras below.
“Reporters…”
“Today we stand here…”
“Not just for myself.”
“But also for all the families like us.”
“Those who have wiped out the savings of three generations…”
“Just an abandoned apartment building.”
“What we want…”
“Not compensation.”
“Neither not pity.”
“What we want…”
“It's fair.”
“It is the sanctity of the law.”
“It's a home…”
“Originally belongs to us.”
“Thank you everyone.”
I slowly stood up straight. The scene was silent for three seconds. Like a warehouse of explosives being set on fire. A series of hands were simultaneously raised high. Countless questions rushed in like waves.
“Miss Chu! I would like to ask, do you currently have direct evidence that Liu Jianjun sent someone to threaten the residents?
“Lawyer Truong! How much is the total amount requested in this class action lawsuit? How do you evaluate the possibility of winning the case?
“Miss Chu! There are rumors that Liu Jianjun has very deep influence in Giang Thanh. Are you worried about more serious retaliation?”
The press conference... Finally entered the climax. Which I know. This moment... The trumpet to declare war... has truly been blown.
