Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 31 Su Zhentian

Jiang Yu was also a little moved when he saw Su Ming being so motivated. If Su Yuan had this fighting spirit, he wouldn't have been so disliked by the old man and sent here.

He said to Su Ming sincerely.

"Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. As long as you study hard and get a satisfactory result in the city exam, that's all."

"I will definitely work hard and will not let you down."

Su Ming solemnly assured Jiang Yu.

"it is good!"

Jiang Yu replied with great satisfaction.

Actually, Su Yuan, as Jiang Yu's student, although he didn't have much success, was very good in other aspects, especially he respected himself very much, so he still liked Su Yuan as a student. Therefore, he also liked Su Ming very much, maybe this is because of loving someone.

"Teacher, have some tea!"

Su Ming quickly poured Jiang Yu another cup of tea.

Jiang Yu smiled as he blew the tea to cool it down, then drank it all in one gulp. He then checked the time on his watch, then stood up and said to Su Ming.

"Young Master, it's getting late. Madam hasn't come back yet. I have to rush back to Starlight City to analyze the data I downloaded. I will tell you as soon as I get the results."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, teacher. I'll take you there."

Su Ming personally escorted Jiang Yu to the gate.
-
District 13 Center Administrative Office Building.

In the clean and spacious office, Ye Wei was holding a statistical report and reporting to Xiao Lie who was sitting at the desk.

There were more than a dozen administrative officers standing at the scene, all of them with tense expressions and a look of panic.

"The casualties of this Chirami larvae attack have been counted. A total of 213420 people died in the Lower City, and 12113 people died in the Upper City. And because it affected the first, second, and third-level secondary colleges, nearly a quarter of the deaths in the Upper City were students. As for the property losses, they are countless."

Xiao Lie's expression was filled with gloom, and he glanced coldly at the silent crowd and asked.

"Don't you have anything to say about such a big incident?"

All the administrative officers present immediately lowered their heads even more. Some even wanted to bury their heads in the ground, fearing that they would be called out by Xiao Lie.

"What a bunch of good-for-nothings, to allow such a disaster to happen. What do you normally do?"

Xiao Lie scolded angrily.

None of the administrators dared to explain. They were not fools. From the data reports, it was clear that this time they had really made a big mess.

Just when everyone was panicking, Ye Wei hesitated and spoke.

"Sir Xiao, this time we have exposed the truth. The parliament has learned about this incident and will definitely hold us accountable. The most urgent task now is how to deal with it."

Xiao Lie stood up from his chair after hearing Ye Wei's words. He walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked out at the dark night, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Deal with it? How else can we deal with it? Of course, whoever is responsible should take responsibility!"

As soon as these words came out, many administrative officials on the scene broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads and their bodies were trembling slightly. They quickly spoke.

"Master Xiao, the person in charge of the garbage plant is most responsible for this incident. It was his negligence in not reporting the disappearance in time that caused the situation to become so serious."

"Yes, that's him."

Xiao Lie turned around and swept his sharp eyes over the people who were accusing him. Their voices suddenly became smaller and smaller, and they lowered their heads one by one.

How could Xiao Lie not understand what these people were thinking? They just wanted Su Yuan to take the blame.

Someone must be held accountable for such a serious matter.

At this time Ye Wei quickly spoke.

"Master Xiao, I think what everyone said makes sense. Su Yuan, the person in charge of the garbage dump, does have an unshirkable responsibility. We should hand him over to the subordinate tribunal of the parliament."

"Where is Su Yuanren?"

Xiao Lie's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice.

"He has been detained." Ye Wei replied quickly.

"Humph, this incident caused very serious casualties and had an extremely bad impact! There will be no dividends for the culprit, and everything will be handled impartially!"

Xiao Lie said seriously to Ye Wei and others.

"Yes, I'll get ready right now."

Ye Wei and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Lie waved his hand and Ye Wei immediately rushed away. He needed to prepare some things quickly so that after the people from the parliament came down, they would be able to successfully push Su Yuan up.

At this time, the landline phone on Xiao Lie's desk rang.

Ding ding~
Xiao Lie glanced at the number displayed on it, his eyes moved slightly, and he spoke coldly to the administrator present.

"Everyone get out!"

"Yes."

The administrative officers on the scene all felt relieved, and they left, wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

Xiao Lie walked to the desk and sat down, then picked up the phone. Before he could speak, a dull voice rang out from the phone.

"Hello, District Chief Xiao!"

"Mr. Su, what brings you here?"

"Fuck you, don't play tricks on me. Did you catch my stupid son?"

"Mr. Su, let's be frank. It's not me who arrested him, but your son who committed a crime."

"I don't care what he did wrong, just give me some face and let him go!"

"Mr. Su, if it were any other time, I would definitely give you face if you asked me this. But this time is different. Su Yuan has made a huge mistake. As the person in charge of the garbage dump, he neglected management and caused the Chirami larvae to run rampant, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Now the Federation has learned about it and is investigating the matter."

"Stop talking nonsense. It's true that my stupid son is the person in charge of the garbage dump. But it's a garbage dump. He can't live there and watch over it every day, right? To be honest, the people who have problems are his subordinates."

“Even if it was a problem with his subordinates who failed to report it in time, Su Yuan, as the person in charge of the garbage dump, is also the first person responsible, so he is still guilty.”

"Fuck you, I'm not going to argue with you. You just want a scapegoat, right? I don't care. This person can't be my son."

Su Zhentian's voice on the other end of the phone became more and more angry.

Xiao Lie said with a frown.

"Mr. Su Zhentian, you misunderstood. We have no intention of targeting Su Yuan, but he is indeed guilty and cannot escape responsibility."

"Fuck, just tell me what you want in order to let my son go."

"I'm sorry, this really isn't possible."

"Humph, I won't beat around the bush with you. If you let my stupid son go, I'll give you two second-generation machines!"

Su Zhentian directly made an offer.

"Grandpa, no! This is really serious."

"Three!"

"It's really not possible. It's not about the things."

"Wutai!"
