Capítulo 1216: Chapter 699: Accomplice to Evil

Hearing that Qing Chen intended to place everyone under house arrest in this military camp, many people panicked.

The politicians all remained silent because they knew that if Qing’s troops were the only ones in City No. 10, then this young man before them had the final say.

Life and death were at his whim.

Even if Qing Chen killed them all, he could simply claim, “Died in the rat tide, exceedingly unfortunate, heartfelt condolences,” and no one would ever discover the truth because the truth of this history was destined to be written by Qing’s Family.

So, the politicians didn’t want to speak; with their lives in another’s hands, it was best to cooperate obediently and not be stubborn.

Politicians are different from the financial group’s death warriors; they are inherently people who wait for the best price, so they listen to whoever offers a higher price now.

But some celebrities are different; some have been training as trainees since elementary school, some young men precisely crafted to look like the most favored by wealthy women and men, some actresses perfectly fitting the taste of the average male citizen.

Which means they haven’t seriously learned any cultural subjects since elementary school.

At this moment, a male celebrity was being led to the camp by a shadow soldier, hysterically shouting, “How dare you imprison us! Li Yun from Deer Island is my close friend, you can’t treat me like this! Is there no law in the Federation?”

This male celebrity, just the year before, caused a laughable scene when he got three words wrong while presenting an award on stage…

Someone stepping up to resist stirred a sense of unity in others, after all, Qing’s Family couldn’t possibly kill everyone, could they?

Only Song Niannian stood in the crowd, pulling her best friend, reminding her not to speak.

As the celebrities made impassioned speeches, it was as if she was watching a great joke. The young man was a killer; just now, they couldn’t recognize him because of the mud on his face, but since they recognized him now, how dare they continue to speak against him.

A rapper with dreadlocks came forward, using profanities in single and double rhymes to address Qing Chen.

Qing Ye raised an eyebrow: “Slap his face.”

A shadow soldier stepped up to the rapper, delivering a slap that spun him like a top, neatly knocking out sixteen teeth.

Qing Chen said with a smiling face, “I understand everyone is quite emotional, but perhaps you misunderstand something. Even though the rat tide has mostly been cleared, cockroaches are still around. Keeping everyone in the camp isn’t to detain you; it’s to protect you. As for your whiskey and cigars at home, don’t even think about them; the rats already ruined them.”

After these words, Qing Hui stepped out, smiling awkwardly: “Nephew, Uncle Sixteen didn’t recognize you just now, we’re all from Qing’s Family…”

Qing Ye: “Slap his face.”

Qing Chen turned and walked out: “That person named Song Niannian, if she cooperates with us, don’t be too harsh on her.”

Qing Ye understood.

Qing Chen gave him a look and frowned, “When I was with the film crew before, it was because of me that they suffered a lot, I owe the entire crew, don’t overthink it.”

“Understood, understood,” Qing Ye said cheerfully, “Boss, you should go receive the supplies, they should have arrived at the West Gate.”

…

…

Return countdown 78:00:00.

Evening.

Qing Chen stood by the West Gate of the city’s entry and exit point, watching the continuous stream of supply trucks, feeling a surge of emotion.

Only by managing a city can one understand how tremendous the consumption of urban resources is.

Just to meet the basic needs of these over six million people requires hundreds of supply trucks!

Protein bars, vegetables, fruits, meats, milk, eggs, every imaginable food item is on the supply list.

Once all the goods were delivered, Qing Chen only needed to sign a paper to unload them, and he wouldn’t be charged a penny.

Moreover, the transport team said they would become a dedicated route, focusing solely on City No. 10.

For three months, all goods would be donations from Qing’s Financial Group, and after three months, City No. 10 would have to pay.

In these three months, Qing’s Financial Group would spend an astronomical amount of money, and Qing Chen only needed to effortlessly sign a document, or designate someone to sign for him.

This also meant that Qing Chen held the power of resource distribution for the entire city.

Qing Chen signed.

He asked, “When did you start preparing these supplies?”

The general manager of the freight company smiled and said, “11 days ago, otherwise we couldn’t have prepared this thoroughly, of course, now the continued supply isn’t as pressuring, all goods come from nearby production bases, they can arrive within four hours.”

11 days ago, which was the day the rat tide broke out.

Qing Chen sighed again, marveling at the prophetic prowess of the elder on Ginkgo Mountain.

The other side already determined 11 days prior that he would take over this city!

Not only supplies, the electrical repair engineering team just arrived too, bringing new equipment into the city, heading straight for the power plant.

All supplies were also donations from Qing’s Financial Group, needing only Qing Chen’s signature.

At one moment, he even felt a sense of powerlessness.

Ning Xiujie’s revenge, the Qing Clan House Master is Qing Chen’s main suspect, but now he’s pondering a question, even if he knew it was them, would he truly have the strength to seek revenge?

No, he still needs to quickly accumulate power.

Suddenly, a cheer erupted in the city, Qing Chen turned to see the lights flick on, the Lower Third District had been the first to restore power!
