After paying Kevin's commission, Dulin returned to Otis alone. As soon as he returned, he didn't even warm his chair. Dove's coffee had not even covered half of the cup when Natalie knocked on the door and walked in.
"What's the matter?" Dulin was a little tired after sitting in the car for a long time. He sat back on the chair, rubbed his temples that were too tired, and looked at Natalie standing at the door.
Natalie's lips moved and she didn't know how to speak. The group of guys who received Dulin's excess compensation came back after traveling around Namirinds. They want to find a place to live slightly closer to the city center and are currently negotiating with the bank.
The Imperial Central Bank didn't know whether what Du Lin said last time was just for fun, or whether he really planned to expel these people and not let them come back, so they kept looking for excuses to postpone the matter. Just as Du Lin came back, the bank called Natalie and asked her to ask about Du Lin's attitude.
Originally this was a very simple matter, just not letting them buy a house, but the president of the Imperial Bank of Otis City was like a scavenger. I haven't seen any money back in several years. Now that someone is willing to buy the house in his hand, it is also very important to the bank. Banks rarely engage in long-term investments and make short-term profits through dismantling and lending. It is rare for hundreds of houses in Otis to be trapped for almost ten years.
What is even rarer is that the prices of those houses not only did not increase, but fell every year, which made the banker almost cry.
Now that someone is willing to make him feel a little more comfortable, he really wants to sell all the houses in one go and then file a report and be transferred out of this bastard place. But Du Lin had spoken before, and the bank president did not dare to blatantly violate Du Lin's wishes, so they wanted to test Du Lin's attitude.
If Du Lin was just angry for a moment, they would sign immediately.
If Du Lin was telling the truth, he would have no choice but to push the customer out the door.
The reason why this issue is not easy to talk about in Natalie's opinion is mainly because there is something wrong with the bank's attitude. Wouldn't it be enough not to accept it earlier? I had to accept them, which caused so much trouble.
After Du Lin asked again, Natalie spoke up, "You expelled those people who were unwilling to move out of Otis, but they came back the day before yesterday and planned to continue to settle in Otis City. We are discussing The matter of buying a house.”
Du Lin's brows suddenly wrinkled. This is not a trivial matter. It is related to whether a mayor's words count or not, and to the credibility of the city hall in the eyes of the citizens. It must not be ignored casually. He shook his finger and tapped the cup with his fingertips. Dove immediately raised the spout and stepped aside.
"Have you forgotten what I said last time? Let Haite drive these people out! If they are unwilling to leave, catch them, tie them up, throw them on a steam locomotive, and send them to the farthest place "No matter what I do, I don't want to see them again." Dulin was a little angry, why would these bastards not do anything when he was gone? They should not have been let off in the first place!
Natalie was angry at Du Lin and felt a little aggrieved. She bit her lip and turned around to go out. After she conveyed Dulin's opinion to Haidt, Haidt immediately rushed to the bank with his men on horseback. For Haite, the police chief, or any other status, was just at the back of the queue. His true identity is the leader of the hometown association, and this is his true job. The task Du Lin ordered him to do was his first priority, and everything else was unimportant.
A dozen horses started running with great momentum on the dusty and muddy streets. The dusty sky was like the cavalry in power decades ago, and many people hid aside. It wasn't that he was afraid of being hit by Haite and the others, but that he was afraid of the dust that would be raised.
When they arrived at the bank door, they rushed in. Sure enough, they saw thirty or forty people crowded in the simple lobby of the bank, and two receptionists were still refilling their glasses and delivering fruit to them. These people showed no fear at all when they saw Hatter. It was not until Haite walked up to them that they realized that Haite was here to find them.
Seeing some of them standing up, Hait was not panicked. He looked at these people up and down and then asked: "Mayor Dulin said last time that you have been expelled from Otis City. You are not allowed to enter Otis City without Mayor Dulin’s pardon!”
Some people had scared expressions on their faces, but others were smiling. One of the men, who looked quite strong, broke free from the arms of the woman next to him and walked straight towards Haite. This guy was very strong, with tight sleeves and bulging arms, and an unruly look on his face. He was half a head taller than Haidt, and the two of them were almost touching each other. He suddenly turned his head and flushed his nose, wiped some of the viscous liquid remaining on his bones with his fingers, and then slowly pressed it on Haite's body.
"I have lived in Otis all my life. This is the first time I heard that someone refused to let me go home?" He said with deep disdain in his tone.
This guy raised some cows and sheep, as well as some dogs, and was a butcher by profession. Due to the nature of his work, his body is very strong, and he often slaughters animals, which gives him a strong evil aura.
Haite lowered his head and glanced at the small obvious mark on his chest, then took a step back. He raised the corner of his mouth and said he was smiling, but it was not a smile. However, he still felt that this guy was smiling, "Apologise. Then take your family and get out, I don’t want to do it in front of so many people.”
The butcher seemed to take Haidt's action as a concession. He took a step forward, and his wife behind him grabbed his arm, shaking her head with a pleading look on her face, and uttering these words of persuasion.
It's obvious that this guy has a bad temper, which makes sense if you think about it.
Practitioners in industries such as butchers are not very good in character and mentality. Animals that have been raised through hard work, especially intelligent creatures like cows and dogs, will definitely develop some feelings in the long-term breeding relationship. In the end, he had to kill these "old guys" one by one in order to make a living, and cut them into pieces and sell them to different people. It's strange that he has a good personality.
He almost flung his wife away with a wave of his hand, then took another step directly in front of Haite, knocked off Haite's police hat with a raised hand, and pushed him on the chest, "Mayor? What the hell is the mayor? Can you care where I want to live? Get out, you annoying black dogs!”
The police uniforms in Otis City are all dark, so he called the police officers in Haite black dogs.
Haite staggered when he pushed him, shook his head, picked up the police hat from the ground, patted the dust on it, and put it back on his head, "I'm warning you for the last time, take your family and leave immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, the butcher caught up with him and raised his fist to hit Hatter. Just when the butcher's fist was less than ten centimeters away from Haite's cheekbone, a gunshot sounded like pressing the pause button. Let everyone in the entire bank freeze in place.
A policeman behind Haight fired, hitting the butcher in the chest, probably to influence the issue so he didn't shoot the butcher in the head. The butcher blinked and looked down at a small tear in his clothes. After about five or six seconds, blood began to pour out. Red spots appeared on his already yellowed T-shirt and were spreading rapidly.
His body swayed, and when he stumbled forward to hold Haite up, gunshots rang out again.
The gunshot finally reset the pause button, and the woman's heart-wrenching cries echoed throughout the bank. She fell helplessly to the ground and cried bitterly. The faces of the people around him were also extremely ugly. Just a few seconds ago, many of them were gloating about his misfortune, as if they were waiting for the butcher to look good to the police. But at this moment, they looked like someone had died in their family, their faces indescribably gloomy.
Haidt looked at the butcher who was close at hand, holding down his shoulder with his fist to prevent him from falling. He straightened his police hat, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I'm telling you now. , you were shot to death for assaulting the police, resisting arrest, violent resistance and threatening the life of the police officer. You refused to cooperate and used force to resist after three warnings... "
He raised his hand and swept away the palm pressing on his shoulder. The muscles on the butcher's face trembled and twitched, and he fell sideways to the ground after losing support, making a violent sound.
Haite glanced sideways at the butcher who was lying on the ground breathless and on the verge of death and shook his head. Then he pulled out the pistol in the holster and took it in his hand. He looked at the others with a smile, "If anyone still thinks that Otis As before, the city is a place where you can run wild. Please come forward. If you are willing to cooperate, please take the latest steam locomotive to leave Otis City and not be allowed to come back until you get a pardon from the mayor. "
"This is my last kind reminder and warning. If anyone attempts to challenge the credibility of the city hall and the prestige of the police department, you can give it a try. You will definitely not be disappointed." He put the pistol back into the holster. , he straightened his police hat again. The police badge reflected the sunlight outside the house, which was particularly dazzling.
"Notify the hospital and send others out of here."
A group of unwilling and even frustrated guys rode the steam locomotive for more than an hour under the "escort" of several police officers and left the city of Otis forever. They never thought that one day they would leave their lives forever. Hometown for decades. At this time, perhaps they realized that having this money may not be a good thing, and they might as well have honestly cooperated with the city hall's orders.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything at this time!
