The scene at Building 1 was bustling, and Shi Jiujiu had also co over to watch.
"Hello everyone, I’m Shi Jiujiu," he began his stream. "I just shared the atmosphere of the Banana District, which aroused the envy and jealousy of many friends. Actually, Building 1 is considered the most crowded in the Banana District. Our apartnt is shared by fifteen people, and I’m lucky enough to live in a single-room kitchen. Yesterday, the governnt installed a light and a power socket for each unit. The supermarket downstairs has also moved here, making it very convenient to get food. The only inconvenience with these unfinished units is using the toilet. The higher-ups plan to get so toilets from the city in a few days. Right now, sothing exciting is happening in Building 1! I’ll take you all for a look—oh my god, it’s my goddess! What is she doing here?"
Having just arrived on the scene, Shi Jiujiu was so excited he was montarily speechless. Then, he continued to his viewers, "Let’s see what’s going on... So, the owner of this apartnt isn’t dead, but the allocator still assigned it to these people! For such a large apartnt, the allocator only assigned six people? I definitely sll a rat here! As for Director Zhang’s claim that my goddess intentionally tried to illicitly acquire the apartnt to sell to others... I think that’s highly unlikely. After all, she lives in the villa district. In tis like these, soone with the resources for a submarine definitely isn’t hard up for cash. Why would she go through all this trouble and risk being reported just to pocket one apartnt?"
...
Jing Shu also took out her phone and called Li Yuetian directly. She certainly had other options, but Li Yuetian was definitely the quickest and most effective solution. Since Director Zhang had so brazenly transferred the apartnt’s ownership to soone else, she wasn’t going to be polite anymore.
"Hello, is this Jing Shu? What can I do for you? I’m Captain Li’s nephew, Li Bailong."
Jing Shu frowned. "Hello, Li Bailong. Where is Captain Li? I need to speak with him urgently."
"Sigh, he’s been suspended and is currently in the interrogation room, being debriefed by the higher-ups. It’s because of the recent floods; many people went missing in the oil community—it had the highest number of missing persons in the Wu City area. The Banana District affairs are now managed by the second-in-command. If you have a real ergency, you can tell , and I’ll see if I can help."
"Alright. It’s nothing urgent on my end, then. I hope your uncle gets through this safely."
There was no ti to settle accounts when the disaster struck. Now that people are settled, it’s ti for assigning bla and giving rewards. However, this is also when connections really matter. Those with good ties will likely get off with a slap on the wrist. Those without, especially if they have rivals looking to place their own people, might see their careers ruined. It looks like that might be the case for Li Yuetian. It seems Li Yuetian is in a precarious situation, unable to even save himself right now. What terrible timing.
Just then, four uniford personnel holding electric batons ca upstairs.
"Make way, make way! Who’s forcibly occupying a civilian residence? Who made the report?" one of them called out.
"Hello, Comrades!" Director Zhang hurried to greet them. "I am the allocation director for the Banana District. I’m the one who called the police. It was them, these two won here! Look at the person they beat up on the ground—he can’t even get up!" While speaking, Director Zhang subtly gave the officers a knowing look.
The lead officer understood imdiately.
Jing Shu narrowed her eyes. So, they’re in cahoots? I didn’t expect this director to have so pull. Knowing he couldn’t win a direct argunt, he resorted to these underhanded tactics. Even if I had a thousand ways to make Director Zhang give back the apartnt, I myself am now in trouble. I had counted on Li Yuetian’s support, but I never imagined he would be suspended. What should I do?
Jing Shu narrowed her eyes again, her gaze sweeping across the onlookers. Perhaps it was from drinking Spiritual Spring water for a year, but she found herself becoming increasingly calm in the face of adversity. Even now, she showed no sign of panic. When she spotted Shi Jiujiu in the crowd, her eyes suddenly lit up.
All roads lead to Ro. As long as it achieves the goal, it’s a good thod. It looks like I’ll have to use this stratagem.
"Hello. I am Wu You’ai, an original resident of the Banana District and its visiting specialist. This is my identification," Wu You’ai said, stepping forward and showing her face.
"What’s all this about?" the elderly lead officer asked impatiently. If she hadn’t also been a governnt employee, he would have arrested them on the spot.
Just then, Jing Shu suddenly ran out, grabbed the lead officer’s arm, and cried out with an aggrieved plea:
"Officer, it’s like this! The owner of this apartnt is the one who saved both our lives! Our benefactor is actually a special police officer. He’s been away on a secret mission for a long ti and hasn’t returned. But we finally received news recently that he’s coming back!
"Despite this, Director Zhang still transferred the apartnt’s ownership to these people who bribed him with gifts!
"My sister and I explained the whole story and asked Director Zhang to have these people move out. But he said the apartnt was already registered to soone else, and it would be useless even if the rightful owner returned!"
The officer said impatiently, "We can’t handle housing disputes without evidence. I’m asking who assaulted these people?"
Director Zhang sneered from the side.
Jing Shu said pitifully, "Officer, do you really think two weak won like us could overpower five or six n?
"The truth is, I overheard them talking! One said he paid five hundred Virtual Coins, another said he gave five bags of rice, and that they only got to live here through bribery. Another young man is here because Director Zhang is his uncle and pulled so strings for him.
"When I said I would expose them, they conspired to beat each other up like this so they could call the police and have arrested!"
"You’re full of it!" one of the n shouted.
"Yeah, are we crazy? Why would we beat ourselves up?" another chid in.
Jing Shu pulled a few children towards her and took out so candy. "Tell big sister," she coaxed, "wasn’t that what they said? Whoever tells the truth gets candy, and whoever tells it really well gets two pieces."
A bratty-looking child blinked and said fearfully, "No, what you said is all wrong! It was clearly you who hit them! I saw you throw a punch, and Uncle Liu fell down!"
A wave of hisses and jeers rippled through the crowd.
Director Zhang beca even more smug. "See that, Officer? She’s trying to bribe children with candy! But even children know right from wrong. Children don’t lie; what they said is the truth! Hurry up and arrest these two!"
Jing Shu calmly gave a piece of candy to one of the children.
Another child, eager to show off his own observational skills, quickly added, "Also, Uncle Liu only gave three hundred Virtual Coins to live here! And our family didn’t give five bags of rice; it was rice and white liquor from another community last year! We usually can’t bear to eat or drink it; Little Bao is practically drooling for it! That Uncle Zhang is really bad! He took so many things and said that even if this apartnt has an owner, he’s not afraid. He said he has ways to forcibly take it over, and that the apartnt’s original owner is a nobody!"
Jing Shu turned her head. "See? Even the children know this apartnt was forcibly taken from soone else. Officer, do you have anything else to say? And Director Zhang, you yourself said that children always tell the truth."
The officer waved his hand dismissively. "Since you’re the one who assaulted them, take her away."
