Tan Fei, Lisheng, Sun Bingchang, and Shi Jie were all important officials in Canglin City. They held high positions and held great power in a certain field. The death of any one of them would cause a huge shock. Now, all four of them had died in an accident overnight. One could imagine what kind of uproar this would cause in Canglin City.
Political, judicial, police…
Without a doubt, this would definitely cause an unprecedented earthquake in Canglin City. As the most powerful person in Canglin City, Qi Xuan would definitely be blamed. Not to mention the problem of his future promotion, he might even be attacked by his political opponents as an excuse and directly lose his head.
This was disastrous news for Qi Xuan!
"City Lord Qi, are you alright?" The woman on the other end of the phone saw that Qi Xuan did not say anything for a long time and could not help but ask worriedly.
"I…I'm fine." Qi Xuan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. He spoke in a trembling voice. "Little Yang, let me ask you, do many people know about this?”He thought for a moment and asked again.
"City Lord Qi, since the incident happened after 11 o'clock at night, not many people know about it.”the woman replied. "However, even so, there are still more than twenty people who know about this matter.”
"Also, according to my communication with the relevant departments, they plan to announce the death of Tan Fei and the other three to the entire Canglin City at 8 am tomorrow morning!”
"What? Were they planning to announce this matter to the entire Canglin City? No! Absolutely not!" Upon hearing this, Qi Xuan immediately roared like a furious lion.
"City Lord Qi, is…is there any question?”The woman was shocked by Qi Xuan's sudden anger and stammered.
"Xiao Yang, immediately contact the relevant departments again. Tell all the insiders to gather in front of the city government building within an hour.”Qi Xuan said sternly. "Tell them that this is an order from me, Qi Xuan, the City Lord of Canglin City. If anyone dares to not come, I will definitely make sure that they have no place in Canglin City!”
"Yes…yes, City Lord Qi." the woman said in a trembling voice.
At this moment, she seemed to see Qi Xuan's bloodshot eyes and ferocious expression. He was like a crazy beast that wanted to devour people!
……
"The City Lord has been alarmed so quickly? He asked me to immediately rush to the city government office to see him. Could it be that he also sensed that something was amiss and wanted to get some detailed information from me?”Zhang Wen thought to himself as he drove towards the city office building.
This series of events was too strange. Although it looked like an ordinary accident on the surface, when these things were connected, it seemed a little too terrifying.
One accident was an accident, two accidents were accidents, but would the third accident still be an accident?
As the saying goes, once again, twice, no longer three. Moreover, there had been more than three accidents recently.
In addition, every person who died in an accident was directly related to the old man who died on the construction site. Even an old security officer like him who never believed in ghosts and gods could not help but think about such a terrifying fact!
What troubled him now was how he should answer if the City Lord asked him about this matter. Telling the truth?
But the problem was, could the City Lord accept such an absurd statement?
He suspected that the City Lord would treat him as a lunatic and dismiss him after hearing his words, or even make him a criminal suspect!
"Forget it, I won't ask for trouble.”Zhang Wen muttered to himself.
In the confrontation between conscience and reason, his conscience once again lost to reason!
"Eh? Why are there so many people?" When Zhang Wen came to the front of the city government office building and saw a group of people standing in front of the building, he was immediately shocked. Only now did he know that he was not the only person the City Lord had summoned.
What was the City Lord trying to do? He thought to himself.
"Old Brother Zhang, you're here too." Qian Wei walked out from the crowd and forced a smile on her face.
"Yes, I am. Sister-in-law, when did you arrive?”As Zhang Wen spoke, he scanned the crowd with the corner of his eyes. He quickly discovered that there were many familiar faces among them.
In particular, the families of those who had died tonight were all inside. This made him more or less guess the City Lord's intentions.
"I just arrived not long ago. Old Brother Zhang, do you know why the City Lord called us here?”Qian Wei asked.
"Sister-in-law, how could I know about this?”Zhang Wen shook his head and said. "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. The City Lord should be here soon.”
"Creak!"
At this moment, an Audi A6 stopped at the entrance of the city office building. The car door opened, and an old man in his fifties in a suit and black-rimmed glasses got out of the car and walked toward the crowd.
"City Lord Qi!" Zhang Wen was the first to greet him and said loudly and respectfully.
"City Lord Qi!" Hearing Zhang Wen's words, the others also reacted and said loudly.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry to have called you here so late. However, what happened tonight was too shocking. I had no choice but to do this. I hope everyone can understand.”Qi Xuan waved at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"City Lord Qi, you're too polite. You're doing this to show your love for us. We can't be happier, so how can we not understand?”Zhang Wen said loudly.
The others did not say anything. Although Qi Xuan was polite, who dared to take him seriously?
"Alright, it's already very late. I have something to say.”Qi Xuan said. "The purpose of my visit this time is to resolve what happened tonight. However, due to some special reasons, I have to deal with it one by one. Do you have any objections?”
"No, I haven't." Everyone replied in unison.
"Alright." Qi Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Then, he took out a note from his pocket and read it. "Chen Xue, come with me."
