Chapter 325 This world needs justice
"Open your eyes wide and see clearly, this is what you call life-risking money!"
"You dare to hit the police and smash police cars? Is it worth risking your lives for such paltry sums?"
"There are five million here. Have you ever seen anything like it?"
Qi Tongwei shouted emphatically, "Killing someone is like killing their spirit. It's not about scarcity but about inequality. Seeing so much money, some people in Chenjiazhai will inevitably have other ideas."
Even the strongest fortress can be breached from within; that's human nature.
Sure enough, some people's eyes lit up. So much money! They're all from Chenjiazhai, so why is there such a big difference in their wealth?
Chen Wenxiong quickly gave his men a wink, warning them not to let that scoundrel Qi Tongwei come to Chenjia Village to incite unrest. If the people's hearts were scattered, the team would be difficult to lead.
"This bastard is deliberately trying to sow discord. Don't fall for it, get out!"
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
This time, the number of villagers shouting was significantly less. Five million was right in front of them; everyone has greed, and who doesn't love money?
Qi Tongwei put away the two boxes of money. Once the seed of doubt was planted, other thoughts would inevitably arise. That was five million, something they had never seen in their entire lives.
With so much money, especially the young men from Chenjiazhai, they were itching to snatch it from the police. They should have just stolen it; now these damned cops were getting it for nothing.
Opening the trunk, Qi Tongwei put the money inside under the villagers' gritted-teeth gaze, then slammed the door shut.
Suddenly, Chen Daji's mother let go of Chen Shunjun's leg, rushed over and lay down on the hood of the car. So much money, it broke her heart.
"This is my son's money, you can't take it away! Chieftain, you must stand up for me!"
These words immediately ignited the restless hearts of the young people, who were already indignant that the police had the right to take money from Chenjiazhai.
"The police robbed us!"
"The police robbed us!"
"The police robbed us!"
Young people swarmed forward, eager to open the trunk and rob the money. With so many people around, whatever they got was theirs. What could the police do? They figured the law wouldn't punish everyone.
Qi Tongwei took out a baton and showed no mercy, hitting anyone who dared to lay a hand on him.
A chaotic battle ensued, with Qi Tongwei alone guarding the trunk with only a stick, taking down as many as came.
Ahhh, in no time a dozen or so lay on the ground, their heads bleeding and screaming.
That damn cop is too good at fighting. The people in front got beaten up, and the people behind didn't dare to rush forward. They all wanted others to take the hits.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Quick, go home and get your weapons! We can't let that damned cop take the money; it belongs to Chenjiazhai!"
Chen Wenxiong watched the frenzied young people one after another, secretly pleased. He hoped that Qi Tongwei would kill someone.
boom.
A gunshot rang out, and Qi Tongwei pulled out his pistol and fired a shot into the air, startling everyone who quickly retreated.
"Damn it, if you've got the guts, bring out all the guns in your house and fight the police!"
"If all the police are killed, the armed police will fight you to the death; if all the armed police are killed, the army will fight you to the death."
"They deserved to die for it, damn it."
Qi Tongwei was furious. He was determined to suppress the arrogance of Chenjiazhai today. Those bastards really thought they were a country within a country.
These words sent chills down the villagers' spines. What was going on? Was this a campaign to quell a rebellion? The army had been mobilized.
Qi Tongwei jumped onto the car again, extremely arrogant, "I'm holding a gun, loaded with bullets. Anyone who wants to fight me to the death, then don't be afraid to die!"
Damn it, this cop is too arrogant. Those angry young people were really worried, but now it seems this cop really dares to shoot.
Some villagers quickly pulled their sons back, saying that if someone had to die, someone else's son should go first; it's better to die for a friend than for yourself.
"Qi Zhi, calm down, don't act impulsively."
The conflict escalated, so Chen Shunjun quickly stepped forward again, saying, "Fellow villagers, please make way for us, we're leaving right away."
"Chen Shunjun, the police have injured so many people, are you just going to let this go?"
"We can't let him leave. I don't believe he'd dare to fire a shot."
"Yeah, if you've got the guts, kill us all."
Chen Shunjun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. This Qi Tongwei only knew how to show off his strength and didn't know how to deal with ordinary people at all. The first thing to do when dealing with ordinary people is not to provoke a group resistance.
"Fellow villagers, please get the injured person to the hospital first. You can contact me for the medical expenses; I'll go to the provincial health department. Everyone, please calm down. Life is precious; we must cherish it and never do anything we'll regret for the rest of our lives."
"Fellow villagers, I, Chen Shunjun, was raised by some uncles and aunts. If you attack the police, and the lives of the police are threatened, they can fire back. Please believe me and don't risk your lives to resist the law."
Chen Shunjun spoke with heartfelt sincerity. Qi Tongwei had killed four people last night, each shot to the head. Young people are capable of anything when they get angry. Besides, he had Ye Xingguo protecting him. Even if someone died, he would at most be transferred.
But for the young people of Chenjiazhai, it was just a moment of impulsiveness that led to the price of their lives, and in the end, it was their elderly fathers and mothers who suffered.
The villagers fell silent for a moment. Given Qi Tongwei's fiery temper, he was truly capable of shooting and killing people.
Chen Wenxiong certainly couldn't let Qi Tongwei leave so easily. These ignorant villagers were the best pawns, grateful for even the slightest bit of benefit.
"Chen Shunjun, why should I trust you? You can leave, but leave a box of money for medical expenses. Otherwise, nobody's leaving."
"That's right, leave the money."
Leave the money behind.
When it comes to money, the villagers become incredibly enthusiastic, saying that they can use the money to pay for the injured's medical expenses, which is a perfectly legitimate reason.
Even when they're wrong, they'll still try to stir things up, let alone now that they have a little bit of a reason, which makes them even more confident.
Chen Shunjun felt a headache and had difficulty breathing, while Qi Tongwei calmly put away his gun, jumped out of the car, and took out a megaphone.
"Everyone, listen carefully. This money is the hard-earned money of those 187 miners, the compensation for the 18 dead, and the compensation for at least 100 injured."
"What, are all the people from Chenjia Village the owners of the Xishan Mine, with their hands stained with the blood of those miners?"
"Touch your chests, do you have any conscience left?"
"What I'm risking my life to protect today isn't this cold, hard money, but rather to give those miners justice."
"If any of you are ever killed, I will fight to the death to seek justice for you."
"You're not stopping me today, you're stopping justice. Damn it, this world needs justice!"
The villagers were terrified by the word "fairness." They didn't want to be accomplices in harming the miners. Ordinary people at the bottom of society are bound to be a little petty, but most of them would never do anything that is morally reprehensible.
Compared to some seemingly respectable business owners, corrupt officials, and intellectuals, the moral standards of ordinary people are a whole level higher.
Chen Wenxiong's face was filled with hatred. This Qi Tongwei used righteousness to deceive the common people, spouting a whole set of grand principles. It seems he has really learned some of the essence of officialdom.
"Help, help..."
Suddenly, a woman's heart-wrenching voice came from not far away.
