Chapter 538 – Dong Xuebing’s resolution!

Monday.

Liu Xiang Hu Tong.

Dong Xuebing arrived at Liu Xiang Hu Tong with his men from the Subdistrict Office.

The black Passat stopped at the entrance of the Hu Tong, and Dong Xuebing, Zhou Yanru, and the Office Deputy Directors alighted. Other Deputy Directors and Staff Members descended from the white Passats behind them. Two Police cars from Guang Ming Police Station are there for emergencies. Peng Gang had brought three Police Officers with him, but they are not carrying any firearms. No matter how big the disputes for forced eviction are, they are not allowed to use firearms. Behind them are Nanshan District Urban Management Enforcement Team’s cars and a bulldozer.

Rumble… rumble… the sounds from the bulldozer alarmed the residents in the Hu Tong.

“It’s the people from the Urban Management!”

“Come out, everyone! The bulldozer is here!”

“The Urban Management is going to demolish our stores by force! Come out and stop them!”

“Block their way! Don’t let them come in!”

Pots, plates, and bowls, are knocked over as people started rushing out.

Dong Xuebing pulled a long face as he looks at those people. He had warned them yesterday, but these people continued to operate their business today. Illegal roadside stalls are still operating, and construction work on Xue Gui’s new illegal building continues. Those two workers continue to work as if Dong Xuebing and the rest are not there. Xue Gui and his hooligans are standing there looking at Dong Xuebing arrogantly.

They are too arrogant!

Dong Xuebing turns to his men. “All of you go over and tell those illegal store owners that this is the last warning!”

A few Staff Members went over with Yu Rongfeng, Guo Ming Feng, Meng Shenguo, and the rest.

Dong Xuebing turns to Peng Gang. “Chief Peng, let your Officers follow them to ensure their safety.”

“I understand.” Peng Gang whispered something to his Officers, and they entered the Hu Tong.

The Urban Management Enforcement Team remained there. They are tight on manpower because Nanshan District is trying to crack down on illegal buildings. The person in charge of the team is only a Deputy Chief Staff Member, and they are there to assist the Subdistrict Office.

Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling were about to join the rest when Dong Xuebing stopped Wang Yuling. “Director Wang, you don’t need to join them.”

Zhou Yanru looked at Dong Xuebing and continued her way into the Hu Tong.

Wang Yuling also doesn’t want to speak to those people, but she smiles. “Director, I will be fine.”

Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “Stay here. Those store owners are very agitated, and it might be dangerous.”

Wang Yuling nodded and stood behind Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing might seem biased as all Deputy Directors had entered the Hu Tong except for Wang Yuling. But everyone knows no Leaders will dare to let her enter because of her uncle. If any accidents happen to her, Dong Xuebing will have to answer to the District Party Secretary. She is also a spoiled brat who knows if she might get into an argument with those stall owners.

Dong Xuebing had wanted to let Wang Yuling handle Xue Gui, but they don’t seem to know each other. If Xue Gui knows Wang Yuling is the District Party Secretary’s Niece, he will not send his men to block the Subdistrict Office’s entrance. Xue Gui will not reason with anyone because this concerns his profits.

Scare them!

Dong Xuebing had instructed everyone that they are only scaring those people!

They will pretend that the Government is determined to demolish those illegal buildings, and there’s no room for negotiation.

The Subdistrict Office had failed to demolish this place previously, and they must be firm this time. If they failed again, those store owners will be more arrogant and might even turn violent. How are they going to remove them in the future? Clashing with residents, resulting in casualties, might cause Dong Xuebing and other Subdistrict Office’s Leaders their jobs. They only need to scare these people and prevent any clashes at all costs.

Other nearby residents have different attitudes from the Hu Tong residents.

“Are they going to demolish that place?”

“Those buildings should be demolished a long time ago! How many years has it been?”

“That’s right. They had blocked the road and dirtied the place. I had enough of them!”

Dong Xuebing noticed someone familiar among the onlookers. It’s the old woman who had argued with Wang Yuling at the Subdistrict Office Service Lobby.

Dong Xuebing smiled and walked over. “Hi, are you also living here?”

The old woman held onto her walking stick. “That’s right. I had been living here for almost sixty years and had been waiting for this for almost six years. Leader, you all must settle this for us.”

Dong Xuebing held the old woman’s arm. “Don’t worry. We are here to settle this problem.”

The old woman replied thankfully. “That’s great. I was pushed and fell along this road, and it’s been years since I walked through here. I had to make a detour to avoid this road. It’s not a wide road, and how will people pass with all these stores here? These buildings should be demolished!”

“That’s right. I found a fly in my food when I ate here previously. It’s too gross, and the owner refused to refund me. He even scolds me and chases me out!”

“Those are all illegal stores, and do you think they will care about hygiene?”

“That Xue Gui is continuing to build new stores there!”

“This place must be demolished! It had caused us much inconvenience for years!”

Other than the residents from the Hu Tong, other residents nearby had been looking forward to the authorities doing something about these illegal buildings. The Subdistrict Office staff and Dong Xuebing heard the residents’ complaints, strengthening their determination to demolish those buildings. If they continue to turn a blind eye, they will give the Government a bad name.

The Subdistrict Office Leaders are still talking to those store owners.

Liu Xiang Neighborhood Committee Party Secretary and Director, Song Qing, shouted in front of the Hu Tong. “Listen! The Government is cracking down on illegal buildings, and all illegal buildings must be demolished today. Remove all your belongings immediately.” He is in his late twenties and is quite young.

Xue Gui retorts. “Who are you trying to scare? Get lost!”

One of the hooligans shouted. “Get lost! We are not moving! What can you all do to us?!”

Another hooligan added. “Grab our weapons! If the bulldozer dares to enter, we will fight it out with them!”

With Xue Gui leading, many storeowners rushed out with metal poles, rolling pins, etc., as weapons. They formed a line and started shouting.

“Come over if you dare!”

“Try us!”

Zhou Yanru, who was talking to the tailor store’s owner, shouted. “Xue Gui! Are you going to create trouble?!”

Xue Gui smirked. “Director Zhou, you all are the ones who are disrupting our businesses!”

The other Subdistrict Office staff were scolded and chased out by a few store owners. A younger staff member was pushed to the floor and almost knocked his head.

“Xiao Wang!” Yu Rongfeng went over immediately. “Are you alright?”

The Staff Member held his neck in pain. “I’m fine… it’s only a small bruise.”

It was one of Xue Gui’s hooligans who pushed the staff.

Everyone from the Subdistrict Office is furious as one of their comrades is injured!

Dong Xuebing saw it and was furious. He snatched the loudhailer from a staff beside him. “Some of you might know me, and some might not. I shall introduce myself. I am Subdistrict Office Director Dong Xuebing. The person in charge of this eviction and demolition of Liu Xiang Hu Tong. Alright. The introduction is over. I don’t care whether if you all agree or not. These buildings must be demolished today!”

The Hu Tong residents and store owners start to protest!

Dong Xuebing ignored them and continued. “This is the order from the District, and it is not decided by you all! You all can continue to obstruct us from executing our duties! We recorded the ones who scolded or injured us, and we settled the score afterward! Not only will we demolish these illegal buildings, but we will also charge you all! Nan Shan District has a few prisons, and it’s enough to accommodate all of you! Illegal businesses, illegal rentals, polluting the environment, and disruption to public order! Do you all want to continue to stop us?! Fine! I will settle the score with you all! The Police and I will not decide how long you will be in prison, but the judge will decide! If you all don’t believe what I say, you all can try it!”
