The entire ocean is my fishing ground.

Chapter 30 Enough is enough!

Chapter 4: Enough is enough!

Today's information has been updated (4/4)

[Intelligence 1 (Warning): Zhang Meng still intends to threaten the two fishermen (Uncle Li and Wang Fuhai) into keeping quiet tonight, and is attempting to spread the message through his confidants that he intends to settle the matter privately with compensation, in order to undermine the victims' unity.]

[Intelligence 2 (Opportunity): Reporters from the Binhai City TV station's "People's Livelihood Online" program have noticed the video on a local information platform and are looking for more leads and interviewees willing to appear on camera. They plan to produce an in-depth report on the local criminal gangs in the fishing village. Contact information is attached.]

[Intelligence 3 (Resource Category): There is a group of high-quality wild sea bass in nearshore area number four, weighing approximately 80 jin (40 catties), enough to supply the town's restaurants for today.]

[Intelligence 4 (Treasure): Five meters underground in the abandoned salt field east of the village, there is a batch of well-preserved sea salt crystals, over fifty years old, which have some edible value.]

We must act before Zhang Tiejun can react.

Following the contact information provided in Intelligence 2, he used voice-changing software to call the reporter.

"Hello, is this the People's Livelihood Online column team? I saw your message soliciting clues on the local platform."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very professional.

"Yes, do you have any leads you can provide?"

"Regarding the chaos at Huangni Village Wharf."

"I have even more explosive videos, as well as witness testimonies and physical evidence."

"At nine o'clock this morning, we will organize a group of victimized fishermen to go to the town police station to file a collective report."

"If you're interested, you can come and bump into me."

"A collective police report? Approximately how many people are involved?"

"Seven or eight of them, all of them fishermen who have been oppressed for years."

"Okay, we understand. Nine o'clock, the town police station, we'll send someone over."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen deleted the call log before dialing the numbers of several people in the village one by one.

"Uncle, it's me, Lin Chen. Come to my yard in half an hour, and bring your ripped fishing net."

"Uncle Wang, please call Liu Dahai and Uncle Li as well, and the brothers who worked with us last time. We need to gather here. We have something extremely important to do."

Six o'clock in the morning.

The courtyard of Lin Chen's house was full of people.

Uncle Lin Guowang held the pile of tattered fishing nets, his face grim.

Uncle Li stood at the back of the crowd, his eyes darting around, appearing somewhat nervous.

Wang Fuhai and Liu Dahai stood at the front, their faces filled with anger.

Seven or eight men were crammed into the small courtyard.

Lin Chen moved a table out of the house and placed three large file folders on it.

He didn't offer any further encouragement; he simply looked calmly at everyone.

"Uncles and brothers, I've called you all here today for only one thing—to get rid of Zhang Meng from our Huangni Village."

He paused, then raised his voice.

"I know what everyone is afraid of. They're afraid of retaliation, afraid of not having a good life in the future. But I want to ask, how many good days have we had in all these years?"

"Today, we're not here to cause trouble, we're here to report a crime. We're going to lay bare all the bad things Zhang Meng has done over the years in front of the police. We won't embellish or exaggerate, we'll just tell the truth."

He pointed to the file folder on the table.

"I have prepared all the evidence. But physical evidence alone is not enough; we need witnesses. We need each and every one of us to stand up and tell the police what kind of bullying we suffered and what kind of injustice we were subjected to."

"We are not fighting alone, we are a group. No matter how fierce Zhang Meng is, what can he do to all of us?"

Wang Fuhai was the first to stand up and slam his fist on the table.

"Chenzi, you're right. Damn it, I've been holding this in for years, and today I'm going to go all out."

Liu Dahai also shouted.

"That's right, we were too cowardly before. This time, let's follow Brother Chen and send him to jail."

Even the most timid Uncle Li, encouraged by the crowd, shakily raised his hand.

"it is good."

Lin Chen nodded heavily.

"Set off."

At nine o'clock in the morning, a rented van and two three-wheeled motorcycles, carrying seven or eight fishermen from Huangni Village, drove into the courtyard of the town's police station.

The young police officers on duty at the entrance of the police station were stunned by the scene.

They were greeted by the same middle-aged police officer with the square face as last time, Officer Wang.

Officer Wang was taken aback when he saw Lin Chen leading such a large group of people in, and then led them to the conference room.

"Officer Wang, we're not here today for any particular family's business."

Lin Chen, as the representative, placed three thick document bags on the conference table.

"These are the materials from the case of damaged fishing nets."

"The combined losses of my cousin's and my own fishing nets exceeded three thousand yuan, which meets the criteria for criminal prosecution."

"Here is the appraisal report for the internet repair shop, proving that it was done by the same group of people."

Finally, Lin Chen laid out the several written testimonies inside one by one.

"Officer Wang, if the previous two cases were criminal cases, then this one is evidence of the bad things Zhang Meng has done in the village over the years."

"These are the handwritten testimonies of Wang Fuhai and Liu Dahai."

"They were charged dock fees, had their prices reduced, and were threatened by Zhang Mengqiang. The time and place of each of these incidents were clearly written down."

"And Uncle Li, he's also willing to testify about Zhang Meng kicking over his fish basket and constantly asking him for money."

For the next hour, the fishermen began to recount their experiences.

After everyone had finished speaking, Officer Wang closed his notebook and slammed his hand on the table.

"The nature of this is extremely egregious."

"Thank you all for the clues and testimonies you provided."

"Don't worry, we will handle this matter seriously."

"Xiao Li, take two people and go to the village immediately to summon the suspect Zhang Meng to the station in accordance with the law. The rest of you, start taking detailed statements from the victims right away."

"Yes."

The young police officer stepped forward immediately.

More than an hour later, the statement was completed.

Lin Chen led a group of fishermen out of the police station, the midday sun shining on everyone's faces.

The men, who had been filled with grief and indignation just hours before, all breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was fucking awesome."

Liu Dahai grinned.

"I've never felt so good in my life."

Wang Fuhai patted Lin Chen on the shoulder.

Just then, a sharp siren sounded and headed towards Huangni Village.

Everyone instinctively turned around to look.

At this time...

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen turned his head and saw two young men standing not far away, one holding a microphone and the other carrying a camera.

The female reporter walked forward with a smile and extended her hand.

"We are reporters from Binhai City TV's 'People's Livelihood Online' program. We saw you just now in front of the police station."

"Would you be willing to grant us an interview and expose these injustices to the public?"
