Like every year in the past, this year's November holiday pa_sed just as quickly amidst the fondness of many people.
School cla_ses resumed as normal, students almost all returned to school, and Wendell decided to be a good student for a few days, at least, to attend cla_ses honestly in the days before he left for Mopel Molom, otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't even be able to recognise his own teacher as a major.
Tami is very happy!
Wendell went to and from school with her every day and also ate together in the school at noon in the cafeteria and would take a walk in the playground in the afternoon, no different from other couples.
This warm and somewhat romantic feeling on campus increased the smile on Tami's face, and sometimes even when she returned home, she had a faint smile on her face, which, together with her clear and beautiful appearance, would make her feel as if she had a faintly sweet taste of freshness.
Wendell likewise enjoyed this kind of life, especially this kind of life without any hook-ups, just simply studying, living and having fun, which made him feel all the more relaxed.
Because he knew that such a life might not last for a few days, Wendell tried his best to live a leisurely life almost every day.
He didn't ask about the business development of the Lolana Group, he didn't ask about the training and bonding of the battle team, and even, he didn't even sit in the cla_sroom to listen to the lectures, he just completely relaxed.
Of course, he usually accompanies Tami around the school when he is free, the library, the grove, and the canteen are all places where they often go on dates. Of course when they returned home, Wendell would flirt and fight with Ellen, and life was very relaxed.
However, after only three or 4 days of such a life, this feeling of peace and contentment that Wendell was enjoying was shattered.
A staff member of the Lolana Group had been injured!
Dani had also received a kick!
This news took Wendell by surprise, how could a good Dani get beaten up? Could it be that this guy ran off in the middle of the night to steal someone? The pediatrician didn't have to take the staff of the Lolana Group with him, right?
Wendell was after school and returned home with Tami before he heard Ellen talk about the incident.
Ellen's face was a bit unpleasant as she said, "I don't know where a group of hooligans came from, but they ran straight to our studio and demanded protection money. Our staff just had a theory with them and the other side took out wooden sticks and beat them up, two of our staff were injured and Dani also received a kick, but was protected."
"What happened afterwards?" Wendell asked calmly.
"Later the staff and security guards from Film City rushed to the scene, only for those people to report their names and then leave in a big way, and when the police arrived, they had already disappeared."
Ellen said angrily, "The police gave a statement, and then questioned the staff of the film city, the result is that they all stammered and muddled …… this is simply irresponsible, in their there took a beating, they actually came to provide some information are not willing to?!"
"Pop!"
Wendell not lightly slapped a slap on the coffee table, and then said, "Go! Go and see Dani and the others."
"Go now? It's almost dark here!" Ellen said.
"We have to go even if it's dark, an employee has been beaten up, you as the chairman always have to go and visit, right?" Wendell said, "Otherwise who would still be willing to sell out in the future?!"
Ellen said, "I've already gone to see them during the day, those two staff members are a bit more seriously injured, their arms were broken and two ribs were broken, they are now in need of rest, Dani is not seriously hurt, just as the general manager was kicked, he is holding his anger in his heart, it's useless for you to go."
Clatter~~!
Ellen suddenly turned around and saw that the coffee table, which had just been slapped by Wendell, had fallen apart with a crash, and the gla_s, which was fine even if a person stood on it, had broken to the ground!
Ellen was suddenly astonished, Wendell was angry, and was shaken with rage!
"Wendell, don't be impulsive now, it's useless even if you can't find anyone you go!" Ellen saw that Wendell looked calm but his eyes were bitterly cold, so she was suddenly shocked, afraid that if Wendell went now, he would make a big fuss, he was in a fit of anger and something big might happen.
But Wendell said: "Don't worry, you know me, I'm not that impulsive! However, Dani and those two employees were beaten up, I definitely want to go visit …… you too."
"Good, we'll go together!" Seeing that Wendell's stubborn temper had come up again, Ellen had to comply with him.
Ellen knew Wendell best, although usually Wendell seemed to have a good temper, however, once he really got angry, no one could stop him.
"I'm going too!" Tami said.
"You stay at home, no need to go with so many people, it's not a group fight!" Wendell said.
He knew that Tami didn't like such scenes, Wendell preferred that Tami could keep her clear beauty, so let her dabble in such things as little as possible.
Tami then nodded and said no more.
The white spider quickly went out and brought the car over, taking Wendell and Ellen, as well as Katra who followed them, out of the gate quickly.
"They're at the First Hospital." Ellen said the address.
Wendell frowned and asked, "Did those hooligans say anything other than that they wanted to collect protection money?"
"I wasn't at the scene, but according to the staff who were present at the time after they came back, those hooligans just wanted to collect protection money, and the amount they wanted was not small, at that time a staff member just said, "It's already been given, how come they still want to …… then those hooligans got their hands on people! " Ellen said.
"Well, wait until we get to the hospital, ask them and we will know." Wendell nodded his head.
Ellen was not at the scene, so what she said was not that detailed, however, Wendell always felt that there seemed to be something wrong here.
Because according to Ellen's relay, those hooligans came straight to Lolana Group's studio, and they beat people up when they didn't get along with each other after two words, it wasn't like they were collecting protection fees, but rather like they were specifically here to cause trouble!
"Protection fee ……" Wendell faintly pondered.
The city of Granola Film and Television is such a large base, to say that there are rogue gangsters and so on, it is not impossible, but wherever there are interests, there are conflicts, this is also normal.
Wendell has also heard that many crews come to Granola Film and Television City to shoot their scenes and pay an extra so-called protection fee so that they can finish their scenes here safely and smoothly …… Exactly who this protection fee is for, Wendell doesn't know, he doesn't know much about this business.
The actual fact is, this kind of gossip is specifically heard who said, Wendell also did not pay attention to, seems to be Dani, also may be the second brother Depom, but no matter who said it, anyway, there is certainly this thing.
In fact, not only in Granola Film and Television City, but also in all other places, there are black and white sides to society, and this is the default rule for everyone.
But the problem is that this gang of hooligans doesn't even look like they are seeking money ……
"No matter whether they are specialized in collecting protection fees or specialized in causing trouble, since you have done it, I can't be idle either!" Wendell secretly said.
When they arrived at the first hospital, Wendell met Dani and the two injured staff members of the Lolana Group, the three were staying in the same ward, Dani did not make anything special just because he was the boss, so that he could get closer to his subordinates instead.
Of course, Dani was not actually injured, but in order to cooperate with the police's investigation, he stayed in the hospital and also had the right to rest by the way.
When Wendell saw them, the three men were chatting in a small voice.
"Chairman!"
"Hello, Chairman!" The two employees lying on the bed saw Ellen first and greeted each other.
Dani couldn't help but ask, "Chairman, didn't you come here during the day!"
Ellen smiled and asked those two employees, saying, "It all feels okay, doesn't it feel more painful than during the day?"
"No, it's just that there's still some vague pain, forget about it after a chat!" 1 said.
The other seemed to be a bit introverted, just grinning and not saying much.
Wendell, however, came to Dani's bed, sat on the edge of it and asked, "What's going on, wasn't it all fine the other day? How come all of a sudden there are hooligans coming to pick a fight?"
Dani spread his hands, "If you ask me, who should I ask? I still want to know what's going on!"
Wendell laughed: "Then you always know what happened, right? It's useless for you to hold your breath now, you can't take revenge just by being angry."
Dani then shook his head helplessly and said, "There were six people on the other side, and they looked like street punks, but these guys acted crisply, hit when they said they would, were fierce and bold, I felt that they were not ordinary punks. I felt that they were not ordinary gangsters. Moreover, we had already paid the full protection fee according to the rules before, and now someone came to collect it again. It turned out that only when we had a couple of arguments with them, they made a move."
"They're not ordinary punks?!" Wendell asked, frowning.
"Not ordinary!"
Dani nodded with certainty, "Moreover, they must have come from somewhere, otherwise the staff and security guards of that film city wouldn't have been too scared to stop them, those security guards also had batons in their hands, but they didn't know what they heard that punk say, they didn't even dare to move! I guess they reported their names and origins!"
As soon as this was mentioned, Dani became angry: "It's just as well that they didn't move, but when the police came, they didn't even dare to tell the truth, they didn't know anything at all, what the hell ……"
Wendell asked again, "What did the police say about these things?"
"What else can be said? The staff and security guards refused to say anything, so there was nothing they could do." Dani said.
Wendell nodded and said, "I know, I will investigate. But I'm curious about one question. You said that you had to pay protection fees to shoot commercials there, which I can understand. Who is responsible for protecting you? Where were the people who said they would protect you when you were beaten up?"
