At noon, Xu Honggang welcomed Xu Chan alone and asked Xu Chan to settle down and rest in the afternoon and go to work again tomorrow.

Time flies in the evening. Xue Yuan arrives at a hotel after get off work, where he booked a room.

After completing the check-in procedures, Xue Yuan entered the room with the room card, closed the door, walked to the bed, observed it for a while, and then his eyes fell on the small desk beside the window, and his eyes lit up.

When he walked to the desk, Xue Yuan lay on the ground, fiddled under the table for a while, then crawled out from under the table, then took out his phone and pressed it. The scene in the hotel room instantly appeared on the phone.

It turned out that Xue Yuan was just installing a pinhole camera. When he looked at the picture on his phone, Xue Yuan frowned, and the angle of the camera seemed not to be well arranged.

Soon, Xue Yuan got under the table again, adjusting the position and angle of the camera while looking at the screen of the phone. After a while, Xue Yuan finally showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

The task was done! Xue Yuan smiled proudly and put away his phone.

What is Xue Yuan doing?

He is preparing for what tonight!

In the evening, Xue Yuan made an appointment with Wan Hong. After dealing with Wu Wenwen's affairs, Xue Yuan had to take the first step to control Wan Hong. Wu Wenwen's affairs caused him and Xu Honggang to have an irreconcilable conflict. Xue Yuan knew very well that Xu Honggang would definitely be more careful about him next. At present, the other party had not replaced him as a secretary, but was nothing more than to be afraid of him. Therefore, Xue Yuan had to prove his value to Xu Honggang next. On the other hand, Xue Yuan also had to prepare more paths for himself, which was always his style.

And Wan Hong became a crucial part of Xue Yuan’s next plan!

After installing the camera in the hotel, Xue Yuan rushed to the hotel he had made an appointment with Wan Hong. This was the first time he had asked Wan Hong to come out after Wu Wenwen's accident. When he called Wan Hong at noon, he heard Wan Hong's tone obviously hesitated. Xue Yuan knew that Wu Wenwen's death had caused Wan Hong to have some concerns. Although he had explained to Wan Hong that this matter had nothing to do with the other party, it was because his relationship with Wu Wenwen was originally a problem, but Wan Hong was obviously a little guilty. Fortunately, the lies he made up could fool Wan Hong. Since he successfully made up Wan Hong out tonight, Wan Hong could not escape from his palm.

When Xue Yuan went to the hotel for an appointment, Qiao Liang was visiting an urban village in Shizhong District with two staff members from the inspection team.

With Qiao Liang, Qiao Liang's correspondent Wang Xiaocai, and a group of four were walking in the urban village. Wang Xiaocai asked in confusion, "Jiu Shu, let's go to Shizhong District to patrol. We shouldn't we go to the government offices in the district, why did we come to this urban village?"

"Haha, we have to go to the government agencies and units in the district, but we have to come here at this level. This time, our inspection team mainly focuses on going to the front line to understand the situation, which is different from previous years." Qiao Liang said with a smile.

Wang Xiaocai scratched his head when he heard this, thinking that Qiao Liang always liked to do something different, so he went to this city village to say that Qiao Liang did not come during the daytime working hours, but waited until the evening.

As the two were talking, a scream suddenly came from the front. Several people looked in the voice and saw two men cursing and dragging a woman's hair.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Qiao Liang stepped forward and scolded.

"Damn it, who are you, get out of here?" One of the men glanced at Qiao Liang and cursed.

"Two big men bully a woman, do you still think you are capable, right?" Qiao Liang said contemptuously.

"Oh, where is the righteous man who came out? I don't look at where this is. If you want to be brave, you have found the wrong place." The man who pulled the woman's hair let go of the other party and walked towards Qiao Liang with a grim smile.

Seeing this, Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. Can these two bastards still want to do it?

Two men made a move to attack Qiao Liang. Seeing this, Wang Xiaocai and others rushed forward.

"Ah, there is a helper together." When the two men saw that there were four people on Qiao Liang's side, they immediately became afraid. No matter how arrogant they were, they didn't think they could win four.

"If you have the ability, just wait here and don't run away." The two men spoke harshly to Qiao Liang and the others, and then ran away after saying that.

Seeing this, Qiao Liang cursed as a coward, and he thought these two were so awesome.

As soon as the two men ran away, Qiao Liang wanted to step forward to help the woman on the ground up, but the other party stood up on his own initiative. Qiao Liang asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, thank you." The woman looked at Qiao Liang gratefully.

"No, anyone who encounters such a thing will help." Qiao Liang smiled, looked at the other party, and said curiously, "What happened to those two men just now?"

"What else can happen? People come to collect security fees. Of course they will be beaten if they don't pay it." The woman did not answer. A shop next to her was close to the roadside. She opened the door at some point. A woman dressed up in a gorgeous manner leaned against the door, sucking a cigarette while answering Qiao Liang's words with a smile.

"Peace fee, what's that?" Qiao Liang said in confusion.

"As the name suggests, it is to ensure safety. If you do business on someone else's territory, you have to pay for it." The woman said in a slut.

"What business do?" Qiao Liang didn't react for a moment.

The smoking woman looked at Qiao Liang with a strange look when she heard Qiao Liang's words. She didn't know if Qiao Liang really didn't know or pretended to be stupid. She started to tease her, "Handsome guy, do you want to know what business you do? If you enter my room, I will study and communicate with you slowly, and I won't charge you money."

Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this. At this time, Wang Xiaocai understood and approached Qiao Liang's ear and whispered, "Jiu Shu, this woman seems to be a street girl. This place is probably the kind of place in the village in the city. Look at this alley in the past, and I'm afraid they are all doing that kind of business."

When Qiao Liang heard this, he looked up and immediately realized that there were many shops in front of him, and women standing at the door were wearing heavy makeup and dressed in explicit clothes, as if they were watching the fun here.

Wang Xiaocai continued, "Jiu Shu, the so-called security fee should be protection..."

Before Wang Xiaocai finished speaking, the smoking woman who was talking just now saw that Qiao Liang had already reacted and joked, "Handsome guy, do you want to take care of my business? You are so handsome, I'll give you a discount. You can spend the night at 200 or 500 yuan at a time."

Qiao Liang was speechless when he heard this. He had really entered the kind of place in the village in the city. He had heard of it before, and today it was the first time he had truly seen it.

The woman teased Qiao Liang, spitting a cigarette ring on her mouth, and saying caring words seemed to be cold, "Handsome guy, if you really help our little sister, just take care of her business. Her family is in trouble and she has sent all the money she earned. You have to be willing to help her and take care of her business more."

Qiao Liang heard the other party's words and the corners of his mouth twitched. Before he could say anything, the woman who was dragged with her hair just now looked at him charmingly, "Brother, can you play? I'll just take half of your money, and I'll guarantee that you can serve you comfortably."

"Well, that's not necessary." Qiao Liang waved his hand awkwardly and quickly left the place.

Wang Xiaocai and his friends hurriedly followed, and the four of them left the alley from the fork road next to them. Wang Xiaocai smiled and said, "I heard that there was a whole station street in Gufeng Community, which was cheap and affordable, but I didn't expect to see it myself tonight."

"What, is this place very famous?" Qiao Liang frowned.

"If you want to say that it is famous, Shizhong District is the urban center of our Jiangzhou City after all. Gufeng Community is the largest urban village in the city center. There are a large number of ordinary office workers and workers gathered here. Some people have a demand. In addition, the rent here is cheap, and some women rented stores here to start that kind of business. Over time, there was a gathering effect. Look at the alley we passed just now, there were small storefronts on both sides. It was estimated that the whole alley was doing that kind of business." Wang Xiaocai said.

Qiao Liang frowned when he heard this. Of course, he understood what the so-called peace fee was. He frowned and said, "The person who collected the peace fee just now was a local gangster, and it seemed that it had been more than a day or two. Please note this matter carefully and report it directly to the people from the district bureau to focus on the public security issues in the urban villages."

"Yes, OK." Wang Xiaocai nodded.

The two of them walked while talking, and the group continued to stroll around the villages in the city. Most of the time they were walking through the alleys. A busier road along the streets were lined with small restaurants, various supermarkets, barber shops and fruit stalls selling fruits. In this village in the city, they were like sparrows, although they were small and had all the internal organs. Even if they stayed inside, they could be self-sufficient and did not have to go outside.

"This city village is quite small, and it is densely packed with houses." Qiao Liang said as he looked.

"No, and almost all self-built houses like this are six or seven-story high. Many local homeowners live on the top floor and rent them all down. The rent for a year is at least tens of thousands. Some families even have several houses to collect rent. They can live a life of food and clothing without doing anything. No wonder some people say that they have to reincarnate to the right place. People living in urban villages in this city are also nouveau riche among urban aboriginal people." Wang Xiaocai said.

"It's just a bonus of the development of the times." Qiao Liang curled his lips, "And I think many of this house are built, and I guess there are many historical problems with illegal construction."

"No, no, anyone in this village who has some connections and connections will try hard to find connections to build a house. Every extra layer is a waste of money." Wang Xiaocai said.
