Looking at the more than one hundred villagers in front of him who were dressed simply, most of them were elderly, Brother Wu sighed.

Behind Hong Kong's prosperity lies endless sin!
Small villages like Dashaling Village, although close to the city center and less than two kilometers away from the westernmost edge of Central, do not have very good living conditions, as most young people have gone out to work.

Therefore, the more than one hundred villagers in front of us are all left-behind elderly people.

It is said that the entire Dashaling Village is inhabited by people who fled here due to the war decades ago. They gradually gathered here to form a small village. Although there are only a few hundred people in the village, they have dozens of surnames.

Since Dashaling Village is close to the city center and has a superior geographical location, it should have developed very well and should be able to live well relying on rental income.

In fact, since the villagers of Dashaling Village are not very wealthy, the buildings here are basically one-story, and some are even just built with earth bricks. Occasionally, there are only a few buildings that are three or four stories high, and these are already the best families in the village.

In a small village like this, how many homeowners can become wealthy by renting out their properties?

The villagers here mainly make a living by growing vegetables. Many villagers will take the vegetables to the city center to sell them. However, there is not much arable land in Dashaling Village, so they cannot get rich by growing vegetables.

Originally, demolition is a good thing for many people.

When Land Development first started communicating with them about the relocation, many villagers dreamed of moving to the city with the relocation compensation.

However, after the final demolition plan of the land came out, the villagers completely gave up their fantasies.

The demolition plan of Zhidi does not even reach half of the market price of the land, let alone a premium. With such demolition compensation, they cannot afford to buy a house in the city, let alone a property in the suburbs.

Therefore, they decisively and collectively rejected the demolition plan of Zhidi.

The Jardine Matheson Group was no pushover either. The boss of Jardine Matheson went straight to the leader of Sun Yat-Sen Group and asked them to deal with these villagers, who were considered troublemakers by the British, within a month.

Thus, hard days began for the villagers of Dashaling Village.

Being targeted by the gang, especially since Xin Yi An is one of the four major gangs in Hong Kong, wanting to deal with this small village is just a small matter for Xin Yi An.

Intimidation, beatings, arson, and chaos, the villagers suffered a lot in just a few days.

There was even an elderly man who was so frightened that he fell to the ground and was taken advantage of by the old man.

Suffering from harassment and threats and living in fear every day, the villagers had no choice but to call the police.

But every time the police came, they just went through the motions and didn't take it seriously at all. They basically just took a quick look, said a few words, and then left.

As soon as the police left, the thugs quickly got the message and continued to bully the villagers.

After a few times, the villagers realized that the Royal Police was in cahoots with British companies like Hong Kong Land. What good would it do if they called the police?

Moreover, because the villagers all knew how powerful the Xinyi'an Society was, they didn't dare to call the young people back.

If the young people got into a fight with Xin Yian after returning and eventually died, these old people would definitely not be able to bear it. These old people can only endure such oppression silently.

This is how the scene at the beginning came about. The villagers all went to the Sheung Wan training base to see if they could get help from the martial arts coach. Although the chances were slim, as long as there was a glimmer of hope to change the status quo, they all wanted to try.

If they agree to buy the land and get a meager relocation fee, then the final result for them will be to become homeless. They will lose their homes and cannot afford to buy houses outside. These old people want to work but no one wants to hire them. What else can they do besides wandering?
"Dear elders, I already know about your problems. If I can help, I will definitely do so. You go back first, and I will try to find out what happened first and see if I can help. If you gather here, it will affect our normal work, and I hope you can understand our difficulties." Brother Wu said loudly.

Brother Wu can actually understand the thoughts of these villagers. Their current situation is that they are desperate and are trying every possible means.

After all, even calling the police is useless, so what can I do? I can only see if there is a chance to get help elsewhere.

After Brother Wu finished speaking, the scene finally quieted down.

After a while, an old man came out, stood in front of Brother Wu, and said solemnly: "Master Wu, I am Zhang Aiguo, the village chief of Dashaling Village. I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but we are really desperate and don’t know who to turn to.

I also understand that it is a favor for you to help us, Coach Wu, but it is also natural for you not to help us. In any case, I am very sorry to bother you, and I hope that if you have the ability, you can be so kind as to help us.

We will not let you work for nothing, Coach Wu. There are nearly 200 households in our village, and although most of them are poor, we can collect money. How much money do you want for your help? We will try our best to collect enough. As long as Xin Yi'an stops targeting us, we will be satisfied."

After the village chief Zhang Aiguo finished speaking, he knelt down.

After the village chief knelt down, more than a hundred elderly people behind him also knelt down.

"Dear seniors, please get up quickly. If you continue like this, I will shorten my lifespan. Besides, I don't have the final say in the company. I have to ask the boss. If the boss disagrees, don't make it difficult for me. You can go back first!" Brother Wu quickly walked aside, not wanting to stand in front of them.

This bunch of old people are now using moral blackmail on him, which makes even Brother Wu, who has seen a lot of the world, helpless and unable to say anything.

After all, Brother Wu could sense from their situation that these villagers were desperate. If they were not forced into a desperate situation, they would not have come to this strange neighbor for help.

He had seen many things like this before.

Before that, he stayed out of things and didn't feel too much pressure. After all, he was not a savior.

But now, these people are all coming for him, which makes him a little embarrassed.

However, no matter what, he would first investigate the incident and then ask his boss for his opinion.

He is not an impulsive person and will not take the initiative to cause trouble for his boss.

Of course, if the boss is willing to take on such trouble, Brother Wu will certainly help if he can.

Because, in fact, in Hong Kong today, Brother Wu is basically not afraid of anyone anymore.

"In that case, we'll have to leave it to Coach Wu. These bullies torture us old men and women like this day after day. I'm afraid our bodies won't be able to bear it any longer." The village chief Zhang Aiguo sighed, stood up first, and bowed slightly to Brother Wu.

Watching the more than 100 elderly people leave, Brother Wu stood there for a long time without turning back. (End of this chapter)
