One pot

What's the difference between this and organized crime, happening in his jurisdiction?

Given Lin Yuan's popularity, news of this incident would undoubtedly spread throughout the entire city, and even across the internet, in no time.

When the higher-ups came to hold him accountable, he would probably be in deep trouble.

So at this moment, when he saw the landlord and the others, the resentment in his eyes was completely unconcealed, and he asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Why are so many people gathered here causing trouble?"

Upon hearing the words "gathered causing trouble," the landlord immediately realized something was wrong and quickly explained, "Police Comrade, this isn't a gathering to cause trouble. They're just here to help me get justice."

Then she pointed at Lin Yuan: "These two rented my house and damaged the furniture. I asked them to pay for it, and they're being unreasonable!"

Lin Yuan watched the landlord twist the truth, and he scoffed, "You say I'm being unreasonable? Perfect, now that the professionals are here, let them assess the damage. I'd like to see if it's really worth 8,000 yuan!"

Director Jiang saw that the landlord was about to say something else and quickly interrupted, winking at the assessment personnel: "You guys hurry up and take a look."

"Yes!"

Seeing the few people put on gloves, the landlord's eyes were bloodshot, and she instinctively wanted to go forward and stop them.

But Director Jiang's fierce glare directly scared her into shrinking back.

At this moment, apart from the wails of those who had been apprehended, everyone present held their breath and waited patiently.

Until twenty minutes later.

The person in charge of the assessment came to report: "Director Jiang, I've checked, and these abrasions are all from daily life, which is normal. There is no damaged furniture."

"Let's not even talk about this being a rental; even if it were new, it wouldn't cost 8,000 yuan."

"Hmm!" Director Jiang nodded faintly upon hearing this, and casually asked, "So, according to you, he has committed extortion, is that right?"

"Yes!"

As soon as these words came out, the landlord was instantly dumbfounded.

She rushed forward, about to explain something.

But Director Jiang, at this moment, had no interest in listening to her explanation.

He wished he could devour her alive.

The reason for the appraisal was purely a formality.

He knew very well what kind of people this group was.

So he didn't give the landlord a chance, directly signaling the Police Officer and instructing, "Cuff them! Take them back to the police station for interrogation!"

"Yes!"

Dumbfounded!

The landlord still couldn't understand.

Why the police, who usually acted as peacemakers, were so unyielding today.

This was no longer just about siding with that young man.

It felt like they had come specifically for her today.

Sure enough!

No sooner had Director Jiang given his instructions than he changed his expression, walking over to Lin Yuan with a smile and greeting him, "Lin Yuan, I'm sorry, our handling of this matter was inadequate. Don't worry, this time we will deal with them seriously and punish them according to the law!"

The moment the name Lin Yuan was heard.

The landlord and the others froze for a moment.

But then, they suddenly remembered something.

Their pupils involuntarily dilated, their faces filled with terror.

The landlord even wet her pants on the spot, trembling all over as she stammered, "You...you...you're that Lin Yuan??"

Lin Yuan ignored her, instead smiling at Director Jiang and calmly saying, "Well, I want to know if the fire safety in his house is up to standard? Also, I heard this is a self-built house in their village; is there an issue with illegal construction?"

Director Jiang's originally smiling expression instantly froze.

Then, with a sudden realization, he instructed the Police Officer next to him, "Why aren't you going to check immediately!"

"Yes!"

The landlord heard that the police were going to check his building qualifications.

Suddenly, her eyes rolled back, her body went limp, and she collapsed, fainting on the spot.

At first, Lin Yuan thought she just had a low tolerance for stress.

But when the police station finished checking the information in about ten minutes, he understood everything.

Several buildings nearby were all illegally constructed!

They had pulled strings and found people to get the procedures done back then.

But illegal is illegal!

Although the procedures were completed, there were many questionable points in many places.

A little careful inspection would uncover everything, like pulling up a radish and bringing out the mud.

Now this is good!

The landlord not only faces criminal charges for extortion.

He also has to bear responsibility for bribery and illegal construction.

Once the house is confirmed to be illegally built.

Then it must be demolished.

At that time, not only his house will be demolished.

The entire community will be demolished.

In other words, he alone directly destroyed an entire community today.

No wonder he fainted the moment he heard about the illegal construction check.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't fare much better.

Netizens in the live stream, upon seeing such an outcome, all clapped and cheered, feeling greatly satisfied.

"["Satisfying!! This is how they should be dealt with. Each one thought they could act lawlessly by ganging up. Before, when they bullied people, they met soft targets. Now they've kicked a steel plate. The money these people extorted isn't even enough to build their houses, and they'll also be fined!"]"

"["Evil people will eventually face retribution, but there are too many evil people in this world. If there could be more people like Lin Yuan, it would be great. To be honest, although he's a bit like a jinx, causing trouble wherever he goes, because of his existence, the entire social atmosphere and environment of West Sea City are getting better and better."]"

"["This is truly eye-opening. It's the first time I've encountered a landlord like this. The most frightening thing isn't that just this one household is like this, but the entire community. One can imagine how desperate the people who rented houses in this community before must have been, with even reporting to the police being useless."]"

"["After this incident, who would dare to rent a house nearby? Everyone's traumatized. If every time you move out, they use a spotlight and put up small notes, everyone will be scared away."]"

It can be foreseen that this incident will bring serious negative impacts to West Sea City.

Making those who wanted to come and live in this city because of Lin Yuan reconsider.

It also caused irreparable damage to the upcoming tourism industry.

Director Jiang naturally understood this principle.

The matter had escalated to this point.

What he had to do was to deal with it strictly and severely.

Completely eradicate such incidents and give an explanation to those who had been extorted before.

Let the entire internet see West Sea City's attitude towards such matters.

Otherwise, what awaited him would inevitably be accountability from Director Jiang and Secretary He.

After all the police left, Lin Yuan also left with Huang Jiao.

To express her gratitude to Lin Yuan, Huang Jiao immediately stated that she would buy the house today.

They looked at several houses, and it wasn't until past 3 PM that they signed the contract and bought a small apartment.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to send Huang Jiao away from the real estate agency.

She suddenly thought of something, turned her head, and with anticipation in her eyes, said, "Um... there's an art exhibition at the stadium this afternoon. I have a few tickets. Can I invite you to go see it together?"

"Art exhibition?" Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.

To be honest, he wasn't interested.

Looking at it wouldn't fill his stomach.

It was like the previous wine tasting event.

Doing business under the guise of high-class elegance.

Going to such places was purely asking for discomfort.

However, he remembered that the system had previously granted him a skill in art.

There was no harm in going to see it, and he might have a chance to verify his painting skills.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, what time does it start?"

Huang Jiao's face lit up with joy, and she quickly replied, "It's already started. We can go directly now."
