Chapter 164 Emerging industries can definitely make money
A group of people were taken to the Public Security Bureau in a special police vehicle, where Deng Xiuzhen unexpectedly saw Zhu Shanshan.
As soon as Zhu Shanshan saw her, she ran towards her, but was stopped by the police.
After being questioned by the police, Deng Xiuzhen, the victim, was released. Also released were the woman in black and a young man. They were tenants of the east wing and had tried to break up the fight.
To Deng Xiuzhen's surprise, Zhu Shanshan was waiting outside.
Upon seeing Deng Xiuzhen come out, she immediately asked with concern what had happened.
Remembering Zhao Shuliang's instructions, Deng Xiuzhen sighed and replied: Since Qin Yanlin's accident, she hasn't been able to focus on business. All the money went into inventory, and then she was cheated out of the goods. She can't raise the money and is currently worried at home.
Who knew that a group of people would suddenly barge in, hitting, smashing, and looting, scaring her half to death. Her mind is still blank; she really doesn't know what happened.
As she spoke, Deng Xiuzhen sighed repeatedly, saying that she was unlucky.
Zhu Shanshan quickly comforted her and thoughtfully suggested that Deng Xiuzhen go to her house for temporary refuge to avoid those people coming to her door again.
Deng Xiuzhen politely declined, saying she didn't want to trouble others and that she still needed to tidy up her own home. After all, it was a rented house, and if she didn't tidy it up, the landlord would kick her out.
Zhu Shanshan didn't insist either.
Deng Xiuzhen walked forward and looked back to see Zhu Shanshan still at the police station entrance. She felt a little strange and was about to go back and ask her if she had any relatives inside.
The woman in black, who had left earlier, suddenly appeared and said to her, "Hurry up and go home. Old Zhao has made all the arrangements. Don't ruin his plans."
Not long after Deng Xiuzhen left, Zhu Shanshan also left. She wandered around, turning left and right, and finally, making sure no one was following her, she went to a house.
The gatekeepers were two long-haired young men with cigarettes in their mouths. When they saw Zhu Shanshan, they blew smoke rings at her in a sleazy manner.
One of the young men touched Zhu Shanshan's buttocks. Zhu Shanshan flinched, and the young man shoved her away, yelling, "Get inside right now!"
Zhu Shanshan stumbled and almost fell, but dared not utter a sound, and timidly walked inside.
Inside, a group of people were listening to a man give a speech. The man had a scar on his face, which started from the inner corner of his right eye and went diagonally to his right earlobe.
When he spoke, the scar twitched, which looked quite frightening.
Zhu Shanshan stood cautiously next to the group of people, her shoulders hunched and her hands clasped together in front of her, nervously fidgeting.
"You! Come here and tell me about your situation!" the scarred man ordered, pointing at Zhu Shanshan.
Zhu Shanshan said cautiously, "Those two are from a small town. They live in a rented house and run a rented shop. They don't have anything valuable in their home, so they probably don't have much money left. It's unlikely they can come up with 150,000 yuan. The remaining goods in the shop should be worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
"What's going on with Mingzai's family? I heard they were all arrested? What kind of work are you doing?!" The scarred man's voice was stern, and his face showed a fierce expression.
Zhu Shanshan was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Brother Dao, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I promise I'll handle this properly and get the money back. Please, Brother Dao, give me a chance, please..."
"Ouch!" Before Zhu Shanshan could finish speaking, she was kicked by Brother Dao and let out a scream.
No one around showed any sympathy; some watched coldly with blank expressions, while others gloated with mocking smiles.
"You all go back first, and hurry up and finish what you're doing!" Brother Dao ordered loudly.
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
As everyone walked out, Zhu Shanshan stood up, intending to leave quietly, but was stopped by Brother Dao.
Those men gave a lewd look, glanced at the panicked and frightened Zhu Shanshan, and then turned and left.
After everyone left, Brother Dao closed the door, turned back, and said with a fawning smile, "Sister Shan, I'm sorry."
Zhu Shanshan raised her eyebrows and said, "It's alright. Who called the police today? Why were the special police sent? Have you found out?" Her tone was cold and her eyes were fierce, completely different from the timid Zhu Shanshan from before.
"They were tenants who shared the apartment with Deng Xiuzhen. They called the police, saying it was a home invasion robbery and murder, so the special police were dispatched," Dao Ge explained.
"Oh," Zhu Shanshan said, her expression visibly relaxing. She turned and walked to the armchair, sitting down and massaging her shoulders.
Dao Ge quickly went behind her and started massaging her shoulders.
Zhu Shanshan relaxed and instructed, "Wait until the time is right, and tell everyone to behave themselves during this period, especially to prevent robbery, assault, and the breaking of limbs by debt collectors from happening again. Send all the children you have to the mountains, train them well, and then bring them out to other cities."
"Sister Shan, are we quitting? How will we survive if we don't?" Brother Dao asked in a low voice.
Zhu Shanshan said lazily, "I heard rumors that a new round of crackdowns has started. That kind of business is no longer viable. If we continue, sooner or later we'll either be eating peanuts or ending up working on a sewing machine."
Isn't it true that the weak are always right these days? Let's be the weak ones, make a lot of money just the same, and be safe and law-abiding.
"Sister Shan, is this really profitable? And it's not even safe. Look at Mingzai..."
"That was an accident! Believe me, the emerging industry I'm talking about will definitely make money!" Zhu Shanshan interrupted Dao Ge and instructed, "You arrange Mingzai's matter tomorrow. Have people spread the word everywhere that the truck driver ran over someone and doesn't want to take responsibility."
The main goal is to drag that Mr. Qin into this mess, creating an atmosphere where rich bosses take advantage of poor people, harm them to the point of death, and refuse to compensate them.
We must incite public outrage, then fan the flames and lure them to the police station entrance to exert pressure.
……
Due to the strong demands of his family and the support of various sectors of society, the nature of Wang Zhiming's death in a car accident was changed from an accidental traffic accident to manslaughter, and he was prosecuted.
On the day of the trial, the courtroom was packed with people, and the area outside was even more crowded.
The people were outraged and demanded that the murderer be severely punished.
The reporters were excited, their cameras busy, all ready to expose the ugly face of wealthy people like Qin Yanlin who disregard human life with firsthand news.
……
“If it weren’t for his pursuit and coercion, how could my client have been in a car accident? Because of the accident, Wang Zhiming lost his precious life at such a young age. What a blow this must be to his family! How can his elderly parents accept this? He must take responsibility for this accident and must compensate my client!”
"Wang Zhiming forged a cargo manifest and smuggled our client's goods away. Our client only shouted for him to stop; he didn't even make contact with him. If he had stopped or not sped up, this accident wouldn't have happened!"
……
Inside the courtroom, the lawyers on both sides engaged in a heated debate, but things took a turn outside.
Countless flyers were handed out, detailing how Wang Zhiming forged inventory lists, how he nearly emptied stores, and how he brazenly drove away.
Not only were leaflets distributed.
A video recording suddenly started playing on the large screen next to the courtroom.
