Yu Zhengchuan stood firm, then burst into a fit of laughter.
Chen Fang scratched his head and asked, "What's so funny?"
"You... let tell you... The news from Shaohua County says that a little over 6 kiloters of the river embanknt collapsed, affecting three townships in the county, and at least seventy to eighty thousand people had to be relocated. Now, all the city's flood control efforts have been redirected to Shaohua County. Zhu Kuang, that bastard, tried to steal a chicken only to lose his rice. Now he's really in for it."
The news was good news.
But Chen Fang couldn't muster a laugh.
Logically, given that the river embanknt in Shaohua County was so narrow and had been repaired over the years, just a little care should have prevented such a result.
No need to guess.
Zhu Kuang had been certain that Chen Fang's side couldn't hold up.
If the embanknt in Gaokin County breached, the water level would drop.
Then, naturally, no incident would occur on the Shaohua County side.
Compared to taking action, everyone would choose the easier side.
"Ah, due to one person's negligence, the common people are the ones who suffer," Chen Fang sighed and said.
Seeing this,
Yu Zhengchuan also felt he had been sowhat inappropriate.
He said, "If people like him had even a bit of concern for the common people in their hearts, such an outco wouldn't have happened."
"Enough, we can't control other people's affairs. Co on, take up to the river embanknt," Chen Fang waved his hand and said.
The rain was letting up.
It was basically just a drizzle now.
On the river embanknt, mbers of the Fenglin Party's assault team and the supporting locals were all sitting on the ground, resting while keeping an eye on the water situation.
It was unclear who shouted, "Secretary-General Chen is here."
Almost everyone stood up.
Geng Tiancheng and Zou Changping rushed down at a trot.
They grabbed Chen Fang's hand, excitedly saying, "Secretary-General Chen, we held on, we held on..."
At that mont, the two middle-aged n were almost in tears.
Chen Fang was also moved and said, "Secretary Geng, Governor Zou, on behalf of the municipal governnt, I thank you both!"
"No, no, no, it's we who should thank you. If not for you, Secretary-General Chen, our situation would have been worse than Shaohua County's," Geng Tiancheng said, his lips trembling slightly.
He wasn't taking credit.
After all, the situation they were in was all thanks to Chen Fang, that was the fact.
At this ti,
Lv Honggui ca over with a group of locals.
Everyone had seen Chen Fang collapse on the dam, so they were all there to offer their well-wishes.
Chen Fang took Lv Honggui's hand and said, "Old man, I'm alright now, all thanks to you folks. It's you people who saved Gaokin County."
Lv Honggui wiped away tears.
"Secretary-General Chen, please don't say that, we're all from Gaokin County, it's our duty to do these things. As for you, you have been so concerned for the wellbeing of Gaokin County, you are a good official, everyone agree right...?"
"Yes!"
It was almost in unison.
Everyone shouted together.
"My fellow townspeople, thank you all, I, Chen Fang, thank you all here..."
After speaking,
Chen Fang climbed to a higher spot and bowed deeply to everyone present.
The crowd spared no applause, giving it generously to Chen Fang.
He stayed another day in Gaokin County,
completing so post-disaster tasks.
Only after the flood peak had completely passed through Wulan City,
did Chen Fang and Yu Zhengchuan drive back.
They left at night.
The reason they hurried away was to avoid the locals swarming onto the roads again, causing traffic congestion.
Chen Fang had no idea.
It was the very day that Zhao Yiyi left.
Once she returned to a hidden courtyard and had barely begun to recount what had happened., the enchantress-like Yin Jie coldly interrupted her, asking, "Where is the explosive? Why didn't it detonate, the one I had arranged in advance?"
Zhao Yiyi was at a loss for words.
She hesitated for a long ti.
And then said, "Yin Jie, Gaokin County has six hundred thousand people. If the dam really bursts, the consequences are unthinkable..."
"Hah, the consequences are unthinkable? Isn't it funny to hear those words coming from your mouth? Since when did you, the Zhao family's young miss, start worrying about the consequences?"
"I..."
"You have nothing to say? Zhao Yiyi, you know the rules of the Fenglin Party. If the task is not completed well, punishnt must be accepted. Soone, take her away and lock her up. Everything is pending Elder Brother Bao's decision."
Yin Jie ordered.
Two young punk-like n approached.
They took Zhao Yiyi away by force.
Today, Yin Jie was still dressed in a cheongsam.
It was just a different color and style from last ti.
The shapely figure was even more charming against the backdrop of the cheongsam.
At that mont, only Turkey was left in front of her.
"Turkey, the rest is up to you to handle. Can you manage it?"
Yin Jie asked.
Turkey was flattered.
He nodded repeatedly, saying, "Don't worry, Yin Jie. Leave it to , I will handle it properly."
"Good, if you handle this well, you will be rewarded."
Yin Jie said.
Turkey bead with joy.
Said, "Yin Jie, then I will go now."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Yin Jie slowly stood up.
She said, "You can co out now."
Nobody expected that soone else was behind the screen.
When that person ca out, it turned out to be a young man with a heroic and handso face, who looked no more than thirty years old, dressed simply in a T-shirt and jeans, clean and tidy, the type of man won would fall for easily.
Unfortunately, there was a long knife scar from the corner of his mouth to his earlobe on his right cheek.
This scar added a touch of ferocity to his appearance.
Seeing his full appearance made him rather frightening.
"Abao, how should Zhao Yiyi be dealt with? After all, she is Yiping's daughter. Should we..."
Yin Jie had not finished speaking.
The man raised his hand to cut her off.
"The rules of the Fenglin Party cannot be broken, otherwise how will we command respect? Go and make arrangents. Three days later, prepare Zhao Yiyi's sacrifice."
Once Abao finished speaking.
Excitent showed on Yin Jie's face.
She nodded and said, "Good, I will arrange it imdiately."
At that mont, these two highest authorities of the Fenglin Party did not realize that their wrong choice would lead to the infamous downfall of the Fenglin Party.
It would then cause a major uproar in East River Province and lead to the incarceration of many people.
Of course, that is a story for another ti, which we will not delve into now.
The day after Chen Fang returned to Wulan City was the weekend.
After not resting properly for several days and suffering a high fever, Chen Fang could only rest at ho this weekend.
In contrast to his leisurely long sleep,
another person was at ho in complete distress.
This person was Zhu Kuang.
He had originally wanted to take advantage of the flood prevention duties to incidentally get rid of Chen Fang.
Unexpectedly, his clever plan backfired, and now his own official cap was at risk.
