Chapter 1006 - 942 Ruts
Under the dim streetlights, people in uniforms scurried back and forth, far outnumbering the tourists who stopped to watch.
In the uneven buildings, windows were flung open, some people poking their heads out despite the drizzle.
The villagers of Jiali Village, never having experienced such a scene, looked on with grave expressions and blank stares, while their WeChat groups were animatedly expressive:
[So many police have arrived, wonder who died.]
[If only this many police had come during the demolition, we’d all be left in the cold.]
[Is your family wealthy now? Lend me some money if you are.]
[Police don’t show up for no reason, what are they here for? Everyone better stay alert.]
Village chief Chen Jifeng led Jiang Yuan and others, walking along the base of the wall, and said: "There are only 3 powerful vehicles in our village, the first place I’m taking you to also runs a guesthouse; actually, our village is full of guesthouses now, haha, even my house has spared a few rooms for it, at least there are guests during May Day and National Day holidays."
The commanding officer nodded, murmured a few instructions, then began directing his team with hand gestures.
He set up several snipers, observers, and sentinels in the distance; the main roads of the village were under control. The team was also equipped with thermal imaging scopes, military-grade, easily revealing the distribution of people within the courtyards.
