Upon hearing Yun Hanrui's words, Shitou's face slightly changed, "Don't try to scare us, we won't fall for that!"

Yun Hanrui said calmly, "Shitou, as their representative, you should be clearer about this than they are, right?"

Shitou crossed his neck defiantly, "All I know is that if you don't give us the money, we won't rest. This Biotech Park project is a star project, and if you don't pay up, we'll go to the press and see who gets anxious!"

Yun Hanrui frowned and said, "Since you are aware that this Biotech Park project is Yanjing Municipal Committee's star project, then you should understand, this project is monitored by too many people, and what you're doing is undoubtedly slapping Secretary Lin in the face."

After a pause, Yun Hanrui continued, "There must be some misunderstanding here, and I'm willing to relay everyone's situation, but I also ask that everyone exercise restraint and not do something irrational under someone else's instigation."

The villagers present simply wanted to receive their demolition compensation and weren't really looking to oppose Secretary Lin.

Seeing the hesitation in everyone's faces, Yun Hanrui seized the moment, "There's no need for worry. Now that I, Yun Hanrui, have stepped forward, I will certainly give everyone an explanation. What's more, once the Biotech Park is built, there will be a large number of positions needed, and those will certainly consider you first.

It's a win-win situation, and I think everyone should understand that."

After using Secretary Lin to perform her own form of "threatening," Yun Hanrui timely dangled a juicy carrot, once again dissolving the crowd's defenses.

"Shitou, maybe we should wait?" A hesitant elderly man next to him said, "I think what this young lady says makes sense. After all, we are common folk, and it's been said since ancient times that the commoners shouldn't contend with officials."

But in Shitou's eyes, there flashed a cold light, "You really are from a big company, we were almost swayed by you. All this talk, and in the end, nothing is settled, right? I'll tell you, I've already called the reporter. In a word, without money today, we'll see our story in the newspapers."

Thoughts as such, Shitou was still somewhat uneasy. As a college graduate from the village, he knew far more than the average villager.

Yet he thought of the mysterious person's words and decided to take a gamble since he would leave after getting the money anyway—he didn't care about Secretary Lin's face!

Yun Hanrui's eyebrows knitted; she had already played both soft and hard tactics and had no other options at this point.

Just then, a newspaper company's car arrived, and a tall, thin man alighted.

The cold wind blew, and the man sneezed, grumbling, "Damn this wretched weather, it's best for sleeping in, yet here I am coming for an interview, truly bad luck."

Seeing the man, Shitou's face lit up with excitement, "Brother Sun, over here, this way!"

Reporter Sun came over to Shitou and upon seeing everything said, "What's going on? Why are all of you gathered here?"

Shitou briefly explained the situation, "Reporter Sun, the situation is like this, our village's demolition compensation has not been paid, and we can't survive. We hope Reporter Sun can expose this matter and let the people of the nation judge!"

Reporter Sun's eyes lit up; this was big news.

Demolitions have always been a focal point of controversy, and reporting this news would definitely cause a significant stir in the industry, perhaps even a promotion and a raise were not out of the question.

With that thought, Reporter Sun felt a little thrill, "Miss Yun, may I ask if this place is now under the ownership of Chaoyang Biotechnology?"

Yun Hanrui spoke indifferently, "I'm sorry, I'm not accepting your interview at the moment, and right now, I have more important matters to attend to."

Reporter Sun said, "Miss Yun, are you feeling guilty now? Can you explain the whereabouts of the demolition compensation?"

Yun Hanrui frowned, "The demolition compensation is dispensed by the government, this is something you as a reporter should be quite clear about."

"Miss Yun deflects and does not know the whereabouts of the demolition funds, the destination of the demolition compensation remains a mystery," Reporter Sun said with a sneer.

Yun Hanrui's voice turned cold, "Reporter Sun, what do you mean by that?"

"Miss Yun loses her temper in embarrassment and threatens reporters," Reporter Sun said with a smile. "This kind of news, I believe everyone loves to hear and see, right?"

At this time, Liu Tingyu came to Yun Hanrui's side. "President, we just got a call from Secretary Lin, who has requested that we try our best to avoid conflicts. He is on his way here right now."

This was finally some good news. Yun Hanrui's heart relaxed, and she raised her voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, Secretary Lin is on his way here right now. If you have any questions, you can report them to Secretary Lin, but please do not act rashly to ensure your legitimate rights and interests!"

At this moment, several faces in the crowd turned pale. They exchanged glances, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across their faces.

"Lies, you're lying." Suddenly, a disturbance arose from the crowd, and a man stood up and bellowed, "You're just trying to buy time, we must not be fooled by her."

At that time, a man wearing a black mask appeared next to the man who was speaking.

The man in black charged forward with a dagger in hand and stabbed the speaker directly.

"Murder, someone's been murdered!" After striking, the man in black swiftly disappeared into the crowd, while the speaker clutched his abdomen, blood dripping down through his fingers.

"It must be someone they sent; they must have embezzled the demolition compensation," an angry voice came from within the crowd.

The villagers were enraged. They had initially harbored some belief in Yun Hanrui, but the flames of anger had now consumed their rationality.

"Hand over the murderer, return our homes!" Then another voice shouted.

"Hand over the murderer, return our homes!"

"Hand over the murderer, return our homes!"

...

The villagers, infuriated, brandished their hoes, their faces alight with raging fury.

Reporter Sun was gleaming with excitement, the greater the conflict escalated, the more it would attract public attention to his reports!

Yun Hanrui felt a chill in her heart; she realized this was a conspiracy from the moment the man in black jumped out.

However, the situation was already extremely dangerous for her. The enraged villagers were closing in step by step.

"They're the murderers, catch them first," someone shouted.

"Right, catch them so they can't run away," another voice yelled.

Under the incitement of these two voices, the villagers had already surrounded them, ready to capture Yun Hanrui and the others.

"President, what do we do now?" a staff member asked, fear flickering in his eyes.

Fear showed on Yun Hanrui's face as she shouted, "Everyone, please calm down! Let's call for emergency services first to ensure the victim's safety."
