Seeing Claire smiling happily, someone had the courage to ask, "Didn't your family do this?"
"No," Claire shook her head, raised her hand and pointed to the sky, "There is a drone, and we didn't go out at all."
Someone else received new news and started shouting loudly.
"The C-level city guard said that he was taken away in his sleep, and he insisted that it was related to what happened yesterday. Unfortunately, no one listened to him."
"Yes, those people are planning to go back now, and they will definitely not dare to come back today!"
There was cheerful laughter at the scene—everyone had been annoyed by the news of land acquisition for a long time.
Everyone knows that this matter may not end like this, but the interim success is enough to make everyone happy.
As for the future, let’s talk about it later, maybe there will be new good news.
After laughing for a while, someone said with concern, "But the city hall is relatively strong in doing things..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's excitement immediately dissipated by more than half, and some people even frowned.
Someone asked Claire, "The boss of the city hall has a very bad temper. You should be careful."
"Haha," Claire smiled disapprovingly, let alone the boss of the city hall, what about the boss of Home Planet?
So she just said in an understatement, "No matter how strong you are, you still have to be reasonable, right?"
In fact, the boss of the city hall was furious at this moment, "What are you doing for food? Haven't you found it yet?"
Last night, his beloved eldest grandson disappeared. Before disappearing, he was sleeping in his bedroom.
Imperial people usually have many children, around ten or eight is the rule, but he is an exception.
It wasn't that he didn't have enough children, but that he had too few sons. He gave birth to nine daughters in total, but only two sons.
The eldest son died relatively early, leaving only two daughters.
The second son gave birth to six daughters in a row, and finally spent a lot of money to find out that there was a genetic defect and it would be difficult to give birth to a son.
Later, through a series of genetic fine-tuning, three grandchildren were finally born.
Unfortunately, the genetic defect has also been inherited. Only the eldest grandson is less affected, and the descendants are expected to be free of the impact in the future.
So the eldest grandson is of great significance to the family, and now he actually...has disappeared like this?
The top leader knew very well that this was definitely done by his enemies, but he had too many enemies...or potential enemies!
Until now, he couldn't think of anyone who could do such a thing, and the person who did it didn't make any demands.
He really couldn't figure it out. Doesn't the other party have any interest in trying so hard to get people away?
He was getting angry when suddenly news came that on the same night, a deputy's entire family had their heads shaved!
The top leader instantly calmed down, thought about the deputy's business, and frowned, "Go find Adams!"
Adams was a staff member he hired a while ago. His cultivation level was B level, but he was better at coming up with ideas.
Normally, he would respectfully address each other as "Mr. Adams" and rarely bother him, but he can't care so much now.
Not long after, someone came to report, "Mr. Adams... hanged himself in the room. The time of death should also be at night!"
"I know who did it!" The leader nodded thoughtfully.
He knew Adams well. This man could do anything but commit suicide.
The idea of land acquisition was proposed by this guy in order to improve the performance of the city hall.
Of course, if local resistance is strong, then he will be approached as the top leader to carry out activities.
Anyway, regardless of whether there is performance or not, he will get benefits, the difference is just overt or covert.
The top leader thought this suggestion was acceptable, so he handed it over to the corresponding deputy to handle it - benefit sharing is the way to be an official.
Anyway, the deputy would not have the courage to eat alone, he was very sure of this.
After realizing the cause and effect, he really regretted it, "I have nothing to do...where are they acquiring land?"
The information about the town is quickly given below - this time it is just a pilot, and it will be promoted after success.
"Arrange people to go there immediately..." the leader shook his head mid-sentence, "Forget it, I'll go there myself."
Adams was a B-level awakened person, but he was killed silently. The opponent... was at least an A-level person.
So it would be too disrespectful to Class A to let others spread the word.
The top leader is also afraid of death, but at this time, there is no room for him to escape.
Once the other party determines that his attitude is not correct, his own life may not be saved.
However, when the top leader travels, he must be prepared accordingly, and since the opponent is so difficult to mess with, he must find at least two A-level bodyguards.
One A-level is easy to find, but finding the second A-level will take some time.
The top leaders knew quite a few A-level people, but most of them had their own affairs, so it was really inconvenient to find someone at short notice.
After a lot of work, I finally decided on the candidate for the second A-level, but with two A-levels... I'm afraid I can only protect myself at best.
However, before he could get on his way, his family called his watch: his grandson had contacted his family!
It turned out that the child was locked in a sealed underground mine, the iron door was closed, and the watch had no signal.
This situation really makes the sky and the earth not respond, but fortunately, there is some water and nutrients.
This child has never taken any nutritional supplements since he was a child.
Fortunately, at school, the teacher taught him relevant knowledge, and at least he recognized nutritional supplements.
The child thought that he was going to stay here for a long time. Unexpectedly, just now, the iron door opened automatically.
The child walked out of the iron gate and walked in the tunnel for a long time. Finally, he found that his watch had a signal and immediately contacted his family.
"Just now?" the leader muttered, then smiled bitterly, "Is there still their eyes and ears around me?"
The other party had prepared food and water, but suddenly let him go. Apparently he knew about his change in attitude.
Who did I provoke this time? The leader felt really sad and sad.
At this moment, he even felt that Adams died early - it was not this guy's bad idea, how could I offend such a person?
Immediately afterwards, he considered another problem: it seemed inappropriate for him to see the other party again!
Soon after he decided to change his mind, they immediately decided to let him go. The message sent was obvious.
This certainly shows that the other party is well-informed and that this time the matter will be settled as it is, but it also means that they do not want to have more contact.
Otherwise, the other party can wait until he comes to visit and then use means to release him, which can be regarded as giving him face on the spot.
However, now, the other party doesn't even bother to do this, and instead chooses to release the person remotely.
This is an obvious sign - you've taken care of the matter quickly and we're not interested in seeing you!
Realizing this, he decisively stopped his trip.
To be honest, this is what he wants. If he really wants to see the other person, his calves will tremble.
At this moment, most of the people at Qu Jianlei's gate have dispersed, and some neighbors are still insisting, wanting to see the final result.
Until evening, there was no new news from the town, so everyone dispersed.
But that night, news spread like wildfire that the city might cancel this land acquisition.
On a hollow planet like Home, more than 80% of the permanent population are local indigenous people, so it is normal for them to be well-informed.
The next day, someone came to Claire again to inquire about the news and to confirm whether the land expropriation had been cancelled.
Claire shook her head in confusion, "I don't know about this either. Anyway, if they want to come, they can just keep coming."
Two days later, a notice was posted in the town, saying that the planet's annual land management plan had been completed and land acquisition was suspended.
It feels a bit wrong to post quality notices in the Internet age, but actually... it's not too surprising.
Home Planet especially likes to do this, because the population on the planet is getting smaller and smaller!
It is already not popular enough, and if everyone is hiding at home and surfing the Internet, won't the popularity become even more sluggish?
Therefore, important announcements are not made online as a last resort - only if you go out frequently will you be popular, right?
Claire went to the town and saw the announcement, and when she came back she thought to herself, "The land acquisition is suspended... I still have evil intentions."
But Xiao Qin saw this very clearly, "Don't worry, this matter is over, but I can't explain it too clearly."
"There was a lot of turmoil over the land expropriation a while ago, and it's impossible to veto it all at once... How can the government manage it if it loses its authority?"
In fact, the top leader of the city hall wanted the mayor to come and explain in person.
But the mayor really didn't have the courage. He had offended Qu Jianlei and his gang quite a lot in the beginning.
But over time, a series of things that happened in the city hall spread.
So much so that when the neighbors met Qu Jianlei and his gang, their attitudes were ridiculously polite.
Claire also specifically asked the boss, "These people just let it go without saying a word. Will they turn around and try to do harm?"
After thinking about it, Qu Jianlei answered seriously, "The possibility cannot be said to be impossible, it can even be said to be quite small."
"But the most common people in the government are red-topped and white-haired... As long as we can continue to be strong, they won't dare!"
"Since you let them go and haven't killed them all, don't worry about it... Focusing on improving yourself is the way to go!"
When Claire heard this, she couldn't help pouting, "But you said, I'm not allowed to advance at will!"
"Okay," Qu Jianlei raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "I just don't want you to be too eager for success. I hope you can lay a good foundation."
"My suggestion is just a suggestion. When practicing this thing, your own feelings are more important."
Claire's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Then I can go into seclusion and advance?"
"Of course, as long as you think it's okay," Qu Jianlei replied casually.
"But recently, we are planning to go to Paradise Star...it seems you can't go."
"Paradise Star?" Claire became excited upon hearing this, "I want to go too."
Then her expression changed and she said, "Boss, you are right. I think it would be good to accumulate some time."
