Ye Qiangke glanced at Tian Qi, and his eyes fell on Fu Jian's face again. Seeing that this tough looking guy was shyly begging for something from himself, he was a bit embarrassed.

He had intended to go up and settle everyone down first, and then he would give some food to the people below. However, they were in such a hurry that they asked for it.

Ye Qiangke nodded to Meng Jie. Meng Jie went over and put some bags on the ground, then the group walked upstairs.

Several men behind him surrounded the bag and took out food to eat. Fujian's eyes stared at Ye Qiangke's back, without a trace of goodwill.

"Tianji," Fujian shouted to Tianqi. When he came, he lowered his voice and said to him, "How the hell did he come here? This old man is very troublesome."

"Hey, what are you worrying about?" Tian Qi looked relaxed. He took a piece of bread from the bag and chewed it in his mouth. "The man who came here is Ye Shucai. He is the real backbone. With him here, I believe we can be saved."

"Cut, fuck you," said Fujian with a disgruntled face. "He is kind to you. It's between you and him. And I can only give you some face. There are my three brothers here."

After that, Fujian left Tian Qi here and went to eat. Tian Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Fujian's reaction made him a little helpless. However, when Ye Qiangke came here, he was relieved and began to be optimistic about the situation.

Ye Qiangke leads everyone to the second floor. There is a door at the stairway to separate the bottom from the top. When they just entered the gymnasium, the old man took other people to the second floor without saying a word. It was obvious that he had already had a problem in mind.

The upstairs is really more suitable for arranging these people than the downstairs. The second floor is divided into rooms one by one. There are seven people in their team, including four men and two women, plus a baby in swaddling clothes. According to the number of people, each person has more than one room.

They had just escaped to the Sports Hall for a while. They had not yet found out what was going on inside. They just concentrated downstairs to have a rest, so they did not expect that Ye Qiangke and others would be the first to take the floor upstairs.

However, it has become a foregone conclusion. Fujian has no courage to challenge Ye Qiangke's prestige, let alone the old man's identity as a public security officer.

After settling down the staff, Ye Qiangke breathed a sigh of relief. He came to Meng Jie and Wu Zhe and sat down together. "The peace is just temporary, and those new faces downstairs are not good people."

Meng Jie nodded. He was convinced of the judgment of the old master in his work. As a police officer with more than 40 years of age, Ye Qiangke's vision was very old. Meng Jie can also see their anger among those people just now.

"Just these people, it will only take a minute or two to knock them down," Wu Zhe said with some disapproval.

"Young man, before they break the law, we have no right to impose sanctions on them, otherwise our behavior will become illegal." Ye Qiangke smiled and looked at Wu Zhe.

"Hey, Uncle Ye, I'll just talk about it. I still understand the truth," Wu Zhe touched his crew head and smiled. "Anyway, I work in the court myself."

"The following group of people have to stabilize them, but they don't know how long they can stabilize them." At this time, Ye Qiangke frowned again

"Uncle Ye, it's better to start early," Meng Jie said after thinking for a while. "If they don't talk about the law, we don't need to talk about the law with them. We should start first to avoid being controlled by others."

"See how I teach you," Ye Qiangke shook his head, "If we don't talk about the law, what's the difference with them? The law is a manifestation of the will of citizens. Only when everyone is within the boundaries of the law can society develop steadily. The world without the law becomes a jungle. If the law is everywhere, the law of the jungle will prevail. What's more, the importance of the law will become more apparent."

"Uncle Ye is reasonable," Wu Zhe nodded. He has worked in the court for some time, and his ideas have changed a lot. At the beginning, the pleasant character of gratitude and hatred has been completely destroyed, and a more mature and steady character has replaced it. In this regard, Meng Jie is slightly inferior to him.

"Then we must not be on guard against them all the time?" Meng Jie asked helplessly.

"Only so," Ye Qiangke nodded. "Before they committed crimes, they were all citizens and enjoyed the rights and interests protected by law."

"There are only thousands of days to guard against thieves," Meng Jie muttered.

"The law has a postposition," Wu Zhe said. "Justice may be late, but it is never absent."

"Well, you won," Meng Jie said. "We don't seem to have any weapons."

"I have a gun with me," Ye Qiangke pulled up a corner of his clothes, revealing the holster and pistol hidden below.

"But only rubber bullets," and then poured a basin of cold water on the two people whose eyes had just lit up.

"If there is no live ammunition, you can only frighten people," they said in unison.

"It's enough to frighten people," Ye Qiangke laughed. He knew much better than the two younger generations. "When it's time to load live ammunition, a gun can't do much."

Meng Jie and Wu Zhe thought for a while and finally understood what he meant.

Shu Qinghe brought a bag of food and began to distribute it to everyone. Liu Chuanjuan has already fed Jiajia in the next room, and will carry the baby to the first room outside.

A group of people get together and talk while eating. After finding such a place to live, their mood calmed down. Although everyone's heart was still burdened with the pain of their loved ones' leaving, it was only at this time that everyone tacitly buried the sadness in their hearts.

In the lobby downstairs, Lai Dezhong, Hu Cunliang and others are gathering together. They have eaten most of the contents of the bag, and the ground beside it is littered with debris. Jin Guoxiang sucked his finger and threw the bone of a duck leg in his hand, which was completely gnawed, into the distance.

"Brother Jian, they have taken the good place upstairs of his mother," Lai Dezhong complained to Fujian with a disgruntled face. "Why didn't we think of taking it first?"

"What are you talking about?" Hu Cunliang spat on the ground beside him. "Shit, when I went upstairs, I didn't mean to talk to us. The police are great. Shit."

"Keep your voice down," Fujian slapped him on the head. "We are going to drive on this land now. In the future, we will have to deal with Uncle Ye and others and live on their land. Why don't we know how to have a long view?"

"What else are you driving, Brother Jian?" Hu Cunliang touched his head. "It's all like this outside. You still want to drive?"

"It's silly," said Fujian, lowering his voice. "You look down upon our country too much, brother. You don't know anything about power."

"The disaster is just ahead of us," Tian Qi said suddenly

Tian Qi's words made Fujian nod repeatedly. "My bosom friend," Hengrou Man thought to himself, "is much better than these three things that have never seen the world since their hometown."

"The frog," Fujian asked, "I only heard you say that Uncle Ye is kind to you before. Is there some connection between you and this old man?"

"Well," Tian Qi calmed down, and Fujian's words inadvertently uncovered a dusty past in his heart.

"I like to bet that you know. I heard people said that one of the three kinds of pornography, gambling and drugs would lead to the ruin of one's family. I didn't believe it at that time, but it was the same."

"You may not believe it. I, Laotian, was also rich at the beginning. Two years ago, my house was demolished. My family had a lot of land, and the government paid for 12 suites plus a lot of cash. I was dizzy at that time. I never saw this much money since I was a child. And how much money should I pay for 12 houses?"

Speaking of this, Tian Qi saw that Fujian and the other three people nearby had swallowed saliva. He shook his head and continued. "His mother, it's also my life. Maybe it's not my life. I knew some outsiders who came here that year, and I learned to gamble with them. At first, I had no idea. If I was too small, I would play casually. Generally, I could win six or seven times even ten times. When I got stronger, I couldn't stop. If I lost money, it would be like splashing water."

"Tianji, you must have met someone who made a cage. These people are specially targeting the relocated households like you." Fujian came back and said regretfully.

"Hey, Brother Jian, you've seen a lot of things. You guessed it in a word. If I had known you earlier, I wouldn't have come to that."

"Alas, after losing all my money, they tricked me into borrowing usurious loans. I didn't understand what the interest was, so just borrow it. Anyway, they said I had a lot of houses, so they could only sell one or two at random to pay off."

"What happened afterwards?" The other people's appetites were lifted, and their eyes were straight at Tian Qi's face.

"There is nothing to think about later," Tian Qi sighed, as if he could not finish his frustration, "After selling the first one, there will be a second one. In the end, the money for demolition compensation and the house will become someone else's. My father was taken over by others at that time. He was angry to death when he knew what I was doing outside. Later, I had to take my mother to Ningbo. On the one hand, I wanted to avoid debts, and on the other hand, I wanted to find some money here."

"I started to do some" dirty work "because it was too slow for me to earn money. As a result, it fell to Uncle Ye for seven years. Uncle Ye is a good man. You ask me whether I hate him. I don't hate him at all. If not, he won't be like Tian Qi. Before my mother left, Uncle Ye took the lead to take care of her with the neighbors. Uncle Ye's colleagues in the municipal bureau did not give less money to my mother. Later, when she left, I was still in prison, and Uncle Ye helped me with this. "

At this point, Tian Qi's voice choked and everyone around him sighed.
