332 The Disastrous Loss of Linhua Group (2/2)

Soldiers with rifles maintained the situation. They were all insurgents who participated in the uprising. They were not dissolved after the war as some of them joined the police force.

He signaled Ayesha to wait for him in the car and walked straight to the gate.

”What's going on here?” Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly, stopping beside a policeman.

The bearded policeman frowned as he was going to tell Jiang Chen to stand aside, but when he saw a pass personally signed by Zhang Yapin in Jiang Chen's hand, he immediately stopped looking annoyed.

”It has to do with land compensation.”

Jiang Chen immediately understood.

The negotiated compensation for two USD per square meters between Johnny International and Linhua Group was too cruel. Now that Johnny International was bankrupted and the old Pannu regime has collapsed, the citizens would not allow such an unfair agreement to exist.

Wang Tianfeng immediately called the police when he realized the situation was going south. Although the police force was also unhappy with Linhua Group, they still must uphold the law as they sent out a team to stabilize the situation. But the citizens still surrounded the police while they wait for an explanation.

”Let me go in to check it out.”

The policeman hesitated before he moved and allowed Jiang Chen to go in.

Inside the camp was an array of trailers. The expensive equipment was all locked inside the warehouse by the workers to prevent the rioters from robbing or destroying it. As to the workers, they wore their hardhead and wielded sticks, preparing to fight.

If there were a conflict between the natives, the outsiders would always be at a disadvantage. Although they had ”armed” themselves, everyone prayed that a conflict would not occur. In a riot, if they were killed by the rioter, it might even be difficult to seek justice.

When they saw someone walk over, they first felt tense, but when they saw it was a fellow countryman, they felt relieved.

Although there were quite some Han on the island, for them who traveled often, it was easy to distinguish who was home-born and who was not.

A tanned worker greeted Jiang Chen and asked, ”How is the situation outside?”

Jiang Chen looked at the anxious expression on his face as he comforted him, ”Don't worry, the Xin president is already working to resolve the problem.”

The worker felt relieved as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at Jiang Chen, exposing his teeth. ”Are you from the embassy?”

Pannu Islands were too small to have an embassy.

”No, but I am here to arrange your travel home.”

When he heard he could go home, a look of joy appeared on the worker's face.

”Great, haha. Buddy, we all want to go home. The construction keeps getting delayed without any progress. The situation outside is becoming more and more dangerous. A month ago we could still go buy some fruits on the street, now we are afraid to even leave the camp.”

”Sigh, it's been tough for you.”

Although Jiang Chen disdained the Wang family's greediness, he didn't mind the regular workers. Or rather, it was a pleasant feeling to see his fellow countrymen in a different part of the world.

It was his fellow countrymen after all. Jiang Chen wouldn't sit around if his people encountered danger.

”It's okay.” The tanned worker shook his hand. ”Are you here to see Manager Wang? Do you need me to take you there?”

”No need, just tell me the location.”

The worker didn't insist as he pointed at the concrete building at the back of the construction site.

”His office is on the second floor at the end of the hall.”

After he said goodbye, Jiang Chen walked toward Wang Tianfeng's office.
