The dust has settled, attend the wedding!

The boss listened to the inexplicable words, slow to recover.

Looking at Director Ke's angry expression, he tried to find a clue on his face.

He didn't understand why this was happening!

Didn't he say he would come to help him uphold justice?

But instead, he got a big slap.

He asked himself, he hadn't offended the Chief recently, had he?

Could it be because of what he just said?

As the boss of the Factory, having mixed in both the underworld and legitimate business for years, his mind naturally turned faster, and he guessed something immediately.

But even so, he still couldn't understand.

Director Ke was already a big shot; in the entire West Sea City, only a few people could make him change his attitude so drastically.

Could it be...

Just as he was thinking, a figure slowly walked out from the crowd.

Director Ke hurriedly walked forward with a smile to greet him: "Secretary He, why are you here!"

As soon as these words came out, the boss's pupils suddenly constricted, his face instantly changed drastically, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Secretary He!!

The biggest leader of West Sea City has arrived!!

Oh my god!

What on earth is going on? Why would the Secretary appear here? Even if he was discharging sewage, it shouldn't have brought him here.

At this moment, he finally understood why Director Ke slapped him.

When he learned the truth, not only did he not resent him, but he even felt grateful.

Recalling his unrestrained words just now, if he had been allowed to continue speaking—

Hiss~~

Just thinking about it made his crotch tighten!

He quickly walked up, respectfully admitting his mistake: "Sorry, sorry! It was my big mouth! Secretary He, please don't be angry."

After speaking, he slapped himself on both sides, left and right.

The crisp sound was even louder than the one Director Ke had delivered.

However, Secretary He merely glanced at him indifferently, completely ignoring him, and instead looked at Director Ke, asking faintly: "Director Ke, from what you just said, you knew this Factory was discharging sewage into Big Lake?"

Director Ke's heart sank when he heard this. He forced a smile and replied: "Yes, but I have also ordered them to rectify it many times, and it has not been implemented until now."

"But rest assured, during this period, their fines have always been submitted."

Hearing Director Ke's weak and pale explanation, Secretary He actually laughed out loud on the spot: "Fines? Submitted? In your eyes, discharging sewage into Big Lake is just a simple fine, is that right?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, oh, no, no." Director Ke was already flustered at this moment, speaking a bit incoherently: "It's my lax supervision, I will deeply reflect."

"Don't worry, today I will order them to stop work for rectification. They can resume work only when the sewage is properly treated."

The boss next to him also quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! This time, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Watching the two of them perform a duet, like a double act.

Director Yang and the others had eyes full of regret.

It was laughable that these two still thought it was merely a simple matter of sewage discharge.

As expected, Secretary He, upon hearing this, immediately reprimanded loudly: "Do you know that because this Factory discharged sewage, the entire Big Lake has been completely polluted?"

"Do you know that because of the sewage discharge, both the water and the fish contain highly toxic substances!"

"Do you know that because of the sewage discharge, this century-old Big Lake has been completely ruined!"

Hearing these shocking words, Director Ke and the boss were greatly alarmed, their hearts pounding wildly.

Their eyes were wide like copper bells, their faces filled with terror.

But it wasn't over yet. Secretary He again angrily rebuked: "The mountain villages downstream, which have relied on fishing for generations, have all been poisoned. I personally promoted this lake back then, and its fish were sold throughout West Sea City, causing a risk of poisoning for a large number of people."

"Such a big problem, and you tell me it's just as simple as treating the sewage?"

Boom~~

Secretary He's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of the two.

Recalling the journey here earlier, there were indeed many police cars and medical teams conducting city-wide examinations.

At the time, they were in a hurry to get here and hadn't had time to understand the situation.

Now that they think about it!! It was because of this place!!

At this point, even if they were any dumber, they knew they had caused a huge disaster!

For such an incident, let alone fines, even bankruptcy and dismissal would be minor matters.

They might end up spending the rest of their lives in prison!!

If there were any deaths, it was even highly possible they would be taken out for a bullet.

Thinking of this.

The boss's legs instantly went soft, and he collapsed to the ground, his face blank, looking utterly devoid of hope.

Director Ke was not much better; his face was pale, his lips dry, and he swallowed, utterly at a loss for how to explain.

The netizens in the live stream cheered when they saw this scene.

— [The Chief's silence is deafening. These two probably don't even know how heinous their actions were. Sometimes you have to believe in karma. If they hadn't discharged the sewage, they wouldn't be in this situation today.]

— [Serves them right. It's a good thing the Secretary is here today. If it were someone else, do you think they would be so arrogant? They'd be able to turn black into white then. If Lin Yuan hadn't discovered the villagers were poisoned, and it was just sewage discharge, the final outcome would definitely have been a compromise, settling with a bit of money.]

— [What a pity, such a large lake is completely ruined. It will probably take decades to recover. These two are truly a scourge. Not giving them life imprisonment would be unfair to the victims.]

— [It's funny to think about. A few minutes ago, these two were still swaggering around, but now they're like quails. I actually think they should thank Lin Yuan for discovering the problem before it became serious. If it had been a few years later, these two would definitely be dead!]

Secretary He looked at the two coldly and instructed Director Yang beside him: "Arrest them, take them back for strict interrogation, and give me a detailed report later!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Yang waved his hand.

Swish, swish, swish, four police officers rushed up simultaneously to handcuff the two and escort them into the police car.

Bald Man and the other thugs were also taken away.

With the development of events to this point, the culprits have been apprehended, which can be considered a temporary conclusion.

However, the pollution of Big Lake and the poisoning of West Sea City residents are not so easy to resolve.

Even mild poisoning requires a long time to be expelled from the body.

And even then, it cannot be guaranteed that there will be no harm to the human body.

More challenging work awaits.

Secretary He looked at Lin Yuan, knowing he was currently live streaming. Seizing this opportunity, he took a deep breath and slowly said: "To all comrades in the factories, and to the netizens watching the live stream."

"As the City's Senior Official, I bear an undeniable responsibility for this matter!"

"Here, I solemnly promise that all relevant personnel involved in the case will be arrested, and a perfect solution will be found to help the victims."

"In addition, I also call upon netizens across the country to write to the City Government regarding how to manage the water quality of Big Lake. Professionals are welcome to offer valuable suggestions, striving to let Big Lake return to its former scenery as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Clap, clap, clap~~

A round of applause erupted at the scene.

All the workers, police, including Lin Yuan, spontaneously clapped.

The netizens in the live stream were also deeply moved, praising him as a good official.

After the applause ended, Secretary He exchanged a few pleasantries on site before hurrying back.

Lin Yuan and the others also returned to the small mountain village.

The mountain village was now unusually lively, with over a dozen ambulances parked at the village entrance, examining and treating the villagers one by one.

Uncle Two, with his Client, appeared before Lin Yuan immediately, expressing endless gratitude.

The Client stated on the spot that he would go to Lin Yuan to buy a house after his father's funeral was over.

Today, Lin Yuan not only helped him but also saved the lives of everyone in the village. If he didn't buy a house, his conscience wouldn't be able to rest.

Lin Yuan naturally smiled, nodded, and politely thanked him.

Then he followed Director Yang's police car back to the city.

After an afternoon of commotion, the sky had already turned a fish-belly white.

He checked the time; it was past 5 PM.

The two found a noodle shop to have dinner and make a few calls to see if they could find something to do in the evening.

After ordering, Lin Yuan casually called a Client.

Coincidentally, it was answered instantly!

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello! Have you arrived?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Hello, I'm from Fang Bu Sheng Fang Real Estate Agency. I contacted you before, do you remember?"

"Hmm? A real estate agent?" The Client replied in surprise: "I have some impression!"

Lin Yuan's expression brightened, and he asked with a smile: "I wonder if you are still planning to buy a house now?"

"Buy a house??" The Client seemed to freeze for a moment, but the next second his attitude suddenly changed, and he replied with a laugh: "Yes, yes, yes, I was planning to buy a house. Do you have any good layouts to recommend?"

Listening to the Client's tone, Lin Yuan felt like he was dreaming.

His attitude was too good, wasn't it?

Not only was he easy to talk to, but he also actively asked for help in introducing houses, which made Lin Yuan feel a sense of unreality.

However, since the Client had actively inquired, no matter the reason, Lin Yuan had no reason to refuse. He replied with a smile: "I need to know what your needs are before I can recommend something suitable."

"That's true!" The Client pondered for two seconds, then smiled and said: "How about this, I'm getting married today. Do you have time to come for a wedding feast and a meal? Afterwards, you can introduce them to me in person."

Stunned!

Completely stunned!

Getting married?

What the heck?

You're getting married, such a big event, and you want me to come introduce houses to you? Why do I feel like you're even less reliable than me?

Besides, I'm not related to you, so what kind of thing is it for me to go to your wedding feast?

Do you want me to give you a gift of money?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan gave an awkward smile and politely refused: "I'm sorry, I won't go to the wedding. I wish you a happy marriage. I'll introduce them to you after you're done."

He thought that by saying this, the Client would not ask him to go anymore.

However, the other party became anxious upon hearing this and quickly persuaded: "Don't be like that! I really want to buy a house. Isn't it better if you come and introduce it to me in person?"

"Don't worry, you don't need to give any gift money, just come and eat and drink."

"Ah? Is that okay too?" Lin Yuan felt a bit like he was doubting life at this moment.

"Of course! Oh, by the way, if you have any relatives or friends, you can also bring them along to eat. Just consider it experiencing the festive atmosphere, joining in the fun, or at the very least, enjoying a big meal."

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Yuan to refuse, the Client directly said he would send the address and specifically mentioned that he would wait for him at the hotel.
