"Is Director Jin willing to cooperate with our Department of Civil Affairs? After all, the conflicting parties are the workers who are reclaiming the land. If this matter isn't handled properly, I'm afraid it will cause a chain reaction."

Liu Xin made his request at the right moment, but Jin Jia, after reading the transcript, shook his head and said, "No need. Leave this matter to our Legal Affairs Department. Director Liu, if you step in, it might be a bit troublesome."

After drinking the tea in the cup in one breath, Jin Jia stared at Liu Xin coldly: "Director Liu, you and they are from the same place. Now that they are in conflict with the hunting team, your presence is undoubtedly a reassurance to them.

As long as you are with them, they will have a backbone. They will feel that no matter what happens, you have their backs, and you, Director Liu, will become a bargaining chip in their hands.

Director Liu, you should know what I am talking about and whether I am exaggerating. I believe you know this group of people better than I do.

As for your proposal for cooperation, I reject it. Our Legal Affairs Department will handle this matter ourselves, but how Director Liu handles it has nothing to do with me."

Jin Jia stood up and rejected Liu Xin's request for cooperation, then turned around and left. At that moment, the young people who were watching the excitement around him also scattered like birds and beasts, and the originally lively leisure area immediately became deserted.

After staring at the tea leaves floating in the cup for a long time, Liu Xin finally let out a long sigh and leaned back on the sofa.

Pinching his eyebrows, he closed his eyes and recalled what Jin Jia had just said. Even if he didn't want to accept Liu Xin, he had to admit that Jin Jia was right.

If I get involved, then the people of Haicheng who were like rootless duckweed and only dared to whisper and slander the hunting team behind their backs might think that they have been supported and have inappropriate thoughts.

Who can Liu Xin protect by then?

Ever since he received the rescue mission in Haicheng, he has been responsible for protecting these people as they traveled thousands of kilometers to the capital. He thought that the Hope Refuge was the end of this mission, but who would have thought that even after arriving here, he still had to worry about these people, as if it was a fate that could not be escaped.

But what could he do? He couldn't just watch these people make one mistake after another and end up in the abyss.

Liu Xin left with a heavy heart, but Jinjia was investigating the conflict in full swing. By dinner time that day, the entire shelter knew about the conflict between the hunting team and the Haicheng workers in the morning, and everyone participated in the discussion at once.

Whether it was the restaurant or the dormitory, whether it was the outer city market or the leisure square below the dormitory building, the morning conflict became the biggest topic of conversation after dinner.

The closed environment and monotonous life have left people with an extreme lack of entertaining topics, and this time the two sides of the conflict have nothing to do with most ordinary residents, which allows them to discuss and argue quite freely.

Since it is a debate, there will naturally be different voices, and these different voices will naturally cause a stir when they reach the ears of the parties involved.

It was dinner time that day. Wei Ying, who had been taken away by the hunting team for training all day, rushed to the restaurant to fill her stomach, but the long line of people waiting to get food stopped her in her tracks.

Standing silently at the end of the team, Wei Ying waited silently for the team to move forward. At this time, her ears caught the deliberately suppressed voices of the people around her.

"I heard that the people from Haicheng actually complained that the hunting team members ate better than them. But shouldn't it be natural for the hunting team to eat better than them since they go out on such dangerous missions every day?"

"If you ask me, the people from Haicheng are ungrateful. A bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people who have no ability to work, yet they still want to eat well and get the best treatment. Why don't they just go to heaven?"

"That's what I'm saying. People like this who don't know what's good for them should be kicked out. They don't want to work hard, but they eat our food and live in our houses. How dare they do that?"

"Our director is just too kindhearted. As a young girl, she can't bring herself to kick these scoundrels out."

A few people gathered together, talking and making faces at each other about today's gossip. The deliberately lowered but slightly excited voices poured into Wei Ying's ears like a devil's sound.

Today's training with the hunting team was not easy. Even if she tried her best, she couldn't catch up with the hunting team members.

She thought she would be bullied, forced to do extra training, or even beaten or scolded, but five minutes into the training, the hunting team members who had originally gathered around her to watch the show left.

No one cared whether her training was good or bad, and they didn't even give her a glance.

Wei Ying was initially unwilling to accept the defeat, and later tried hard to keep up with their training out of spite, but she could never catch up. The strength of each member of the hunting team surprised her. What was even more tragic was that even though they already had such powerful strength, they worked harder than her.

She lay on the ground exhausted to rest in the sunset, but the hunting team members were still training. Their shadows stretched by the sunset covered and drowned her, leaving her with no strength to get up.

If the hunting team's indifference to her at that time allowed her to hide herself and tell herself that she would get better in the future, then the noisy discussions now almost exposed her incompetence, cowardice and arrogance to the sun.

Gritting her teeth, Wei Ying rushed forward and kicked the person who was discussing. She heard her own hoarse and unpleasant roar like a crow: "What gives you the right to say that!"

Her body trembled uncontrollably, she heard countless voices lingering in her ears, and she saw someone approaching and trying to attack her...

Wei Ying felt very strange. She felt that her body was as cold as if she had fallen into a blizzard, but her brain was as hot as boiling water and she couldn't open her eyes.

She wanted to make it clear that she and the people from Haicheng were not ungrateful and did not want to be kicked out of the shelter. She opened her mouth to speak but could not hear her own voice.

She felt like a fish in a net, struggling but unable to break free. She opened her mouth as wide as she could to shout out all her grievances.

"Catch her! This kid is crazy!"

The team that was originally advancing slowly became riotous at some point. Wei Ying in the crowd was like a calf with red eyes, stretching his neck and rushing towards the people around him, punching, kicking, biting and scratching them. His small body burst into a terrifying scream that made people want to dig out their brains and wash them.

They wanted to catch Wei Ying, but when the child went crazy, she was as slippery as a fish and could not be caught. Some of them were even scratched by her and had blood on their faces.

For a moment, the entire cafeteria was in chaos, everyone was screaming and pushing each other. The people from Haicheng were even more furious when they saw that the little Wei Ying was acting crazy at the moment, and they immediately attacked the people who wanted to capture Wei Ying.

Shouts erupted from the crowd: "Teach them a lesson and let them know that we Haicheng people are not easy to bully!"

Many people immediately responded: "We are not easy to bully!"

The originally chaotic cafeteria immediately erupted into physical conflict, with the two groups fighting in the crowd, and those who were accidentally injured quickly joined the fight.

Just as people were about to be trampled to death, a gust of wind blew them away, and Wei Ying, who was at the center of the battle, was drenched by the rushing water.

Adjusting the golden badge on his chest, Jin Jia ordered in a cold voice: "The Legal Affairs Department is handling the case. Anyone involved in this fight should come with us."
