After rebirth, I cut off all ties with you. Why are you crying?

Zheng Wenda sneered, "Come at you? Do you know how big the impact this time is? Now not only do the upper echelons know that you, Yuan Zhongtao, abused your power, but even the people think that you are not worthy of the title of Jiangcheng's general manager!"

"You evacuated the people when it rained a little. If it rained a little harder, would you consider relocating the entire Jiangcheng population? Have you calculated how much manpower and material resources you have consumed today?"

"Yuan Zhongtao, are you worthy of the power given to you by the people?"

From the beginning, there was a lot of tension between the two.

Zheng Wenda seized on this point that everyone was dissatisfied with Yuan Zhongtao and launched a crazy attack on him.

Yuan Zhongtao said: "Brother Zheng, you have been in a high position for so many years. Don't you realize that the terrain here is very dangerous? The houses of the people are all backed by the hillside. Once a mudslide occurs, it will cause irreparable damage."

"That's tens of thousands of lives at stake. I, Yuan Zhongtao, will never joke about people's lives!"

Zheng Wenda sneered, "You sound so righteous. People who don't know you would think you are so upright. Bullshit mudslide, it rains before. If there really was a mudslide, it would have happened a long time ago. Why would you wait until now?"

"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Your behavior today is quite strange. I reasonably suspect that you have some conspiracy. Now, please cooperate with our investigation!"

Yuan Zhongtao said: "I can cooperate with your investigation, but not now. Let's talk about it after tonight!"

"After tonight? This is out of your control!" Zheng Wenda said, "Xiao Liu, show Mr. Yuan the order from above!"

Liu Zhongkui handed a document to Yuan Zhongtao and said, "Mr. Yuan, after discussion with the higher-ups, Mr. Zheng will be fully responsible for the affairs here. You must return to the city immediately and explain to the higher-ups what you did tonight."

Yuan Zhongtao said, "I still say the same thing. I can cooperate with your investigation, but we have to wait until after tonight."

"So you're going to disobey orders?"

Zheng Wenda's face turned pale.

He knew very well that he was only temporarily released to take charge of the overall situation. If he could not make up for his crime by making meritorious contributions, he would still be held accountable.

But if Yuan Zhongtao disobeyed orders, the situation would be completely different. He could take this opportunity to blame many things on Yuan Zhongtao.

"That's right!"

Yuan Zhongtao had a blank expression on his face. In order to save the lives of tens of thousands of people, he would not hesitate even if it meant disobeying orders.

"it is good!"

"I knew you wouldn't leave with me so easily. In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Go ahead and capture Yuan Zhongtao!"

Following Zheng Wenda's order, Liu Zhongkui and others were ready to take action.

"Let's see who dares!"

As soon as Liu Kun waved his hand, those who were loyal to Yuan Zhongtao immediately blocked Liu Zhongkui and others, and a standoff formed between the two sides.

Zheng Wenda shouted, "Yuan Zhongtao, you actually dared to resist. This is an aggravated crime. Let me see how you explain it to your superiors!"

Yuan Zhongtao said, "Brother Zheng, why do you have to force me? Let's take a step back. Give me an hour. If there is no mudslide after an hour, I will go with you. How about that?"

Zheng Wenda wanted to refuse, but Liu Zhongkui whispered in his ear, "Mr. Zheng, we came here in a hurry, and there aren't many people. If the fight gets to the end, we will be the ones who suffer."

"An hour isn't a long time anyway, so why not just wait a while? This is a good opportunity for us to gather some manpower."

Zheng Wenda felt that what Liu Zhongkui said made a lot of sense, so he said, "Brother Yuan, since we have worked together for so many years, I will give you an hour. After an hour, if you dare to resist again, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

After saying that, Zheng Wenda led his men towards the area where the people were to be resettled.

He greeted and shook hands with the crowd with a smile.

"Everyone, rest assured, we will never allow some people to do anything reckless. Please be patient and wait a moment. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Seeing Zheng Wenda pretending to be a good guy, Liu Kun was indignant: "Mr. Yuan, I get angry when I see this guy. He has plundered so much of the people's money and is still pretending to be a good guy. Is he worthy of it?"

Yuan Zhongtao patted Liu Kun on the shoulder and said, "Don't pay attention to him. Let's check as usual."

Liu Kun said, "Mr. Yuan...are you sure there will be a mudslide? The rain is so light now, it doesn't look like there will be a heavy rainstorm, and there hasn't been a heavy rainstorm in the eastern suburbs for almost three years."

Yuan Zhongtao said: "Don't you think today's rain came very suddenly? It is precisely because there has been no heavy rain for three years that we should take precautions."

"Whether there is a mudslide or not, protection work must be done properly. In short, the safety of the people comes first!"

"Even if we are insulted by the world, as long as the people are fine, what does it matter?"

Hearing these words, Liu Kun felt his eyes become moist, and he didn't know whether it was because of the rain or his own tears.

"Yes, Mr. Yuan, I'll go check it out right away!"

Liu Kun brought a group of people to search the eastern suburbs area again.

Yuan Zhongtao looked up at the sky. The rain had not gotten heavier and was still very light.

When he met Lu Yun for the first time, Lu Yun told him that a mudslide would occur in the eastern suburbs tonight.

Lu Yun's prediction has been verified twice. He doesn't know whether tonight will be the same as Lu Yun said, but at least, he did what he should do and has no regrets for the people and his conscience.

An hour passed quickly.

Zheng Wenda smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, it's time to go with us."

"I'll go with you."

Yuan Zhongtao smiled slightly. He gladly accepted the result without any feeling of loneliness.

"Mr. Yuan..."

Liu Kun's eyes were filled with tears.

"I'm fine. You should work hard in the future and don't give up your ideals because of a temporary setback."

Yuan Zhongtao comforted the people who came with him with a few words, then turned around and left with Liu Kun.

But the next second!

The drizzle at first suddenly turned into a heavy rain!!!

The rainstorm came so quickly and violently that everyone was unable to react for a while.

Rumbling--

It was at this time that a piece of forest not far away suddenly collapsed, and a large amount of mud flowed down the hillside, covering the houses below the hillside!

The whole place was silent...

No one dared to believe that the mudslide really happened!

The crowd, who were originally filled with righteous indignation, were all dumbfounded.

They have lived here for a long time, and no one could have imagined that there would really be a mudslide!

The way everyone looked at Old Yuan changed!
