Chapter 2507: Chapter 2409: Catastrophe Approaches

Lei De knew he was in deep trouble, and among the people he knew, Ye Yuhai was the most capable.

Therefore, he hoped Ye Yuhai could give him a hand, save him from peril, even if it meant losing everything, he wouldn’t care as long as he could keep his life.

What Lei De didn’t know was that his words sounded like a death sentence to Ye Yuhai.

Ye Yuhai felt his blood boiling, almost coughing up blood, his eyes venomously glaring at Lei De in the car, wishing someone would shoot him dead immediately.

Damn you, Lei De, you’re looking to die, but dragging me down with you, you son of a bitch!

If it weren’t for all these special forces officers here, Ye Yuhai might’ve rushed and fought with Lei De.

But now, he couldn’t do anything, just stood there foolishly, looking pleadingly at Xu Zehua, hoping for mercy due to past relations.

But he was deluding himself; this was beyond Xu Zehua’s control. Tan Minghui, Du Wenfeng, and Huo Sining all heard Lei De’s shout.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Ye Yuhai, filled with scrutiny, suspicion, ambiguity, understanding, and schadenfreude.

Lei De’s overwhelming power in Luohua County was abnormal, with no one daring to make a sound or resist.

People instinctively protect themselves, resist when their interests are harmed, but no such sound was heard in Luohua County, which indicated one thing.

The voices of the masses had been suppressed.

Only one possibility existed for this level of suppression — someone was backing Lei De, providing him protection!

Now, with Lei De’s shout, it was obvious who was backing him.

Ye Yuhai felt empty, unable to react, when suddenly Du Wenfeng shouted:

"Arrest him for me!"

Ye Yuhai was shocked, instinctively wanting to flee, but how could he outrun trained elite special forces? Before he could turn, he was tackled to the ground by two officers.

Lei De, still hoping for Ye Yuhai to save him, stood stunned, soon realizing he’d made yet another mistake, shrinking back in the car, too afraid to meet Ye Yuhai’s venomous gaze.

After thoroughly searching the entire tea garden, confirming there were no more fugitives, the armed police instructor reported to Du Wenfeng and Huo Sining.

By now, Huo Sining had called down Wu Ya, who was hiding in the tea garden.

The little girl felt an immeasurable satisfaction seeing the special forces arrest all those thugs.

But just as she smiled, her expression changed, becoming inexplicably gloomy.

Detecting her mood change, Huo Sining asked, "What’s wrong? The bad guys are gone, aren’t you happy?"

Wu Ya’s face was somewhat pale, "I just searched the tea garden again, my parents’ graves, really can’t find them."

"Even after all the hardships they faced in life, they can’t rest in peace after death, without graves, they’ll become wandering spirits, and burnt offerings might not even reach them..."

Saying this, Wu Ya’s voice was choked with emotion.

Huo Sining felt a pang of sorrow, wanting to comfort her but not knowing how.

Meanwhile, Wu Jun was also filled with helplessness, realizing that after the morning’s chaos, retrieving his parents’ remains would be nearly impossible.

Seeing Huo Sining’s expression sink again, Du Wenfeng felt uneasy and instinctively tried to smooth things over:

"Miss Huo, Bureau Chief Tan and I have reserved a table of private dishes in the county for you, this is your first visit to Dali, right? You surely haven’t tried the local specialties here."

"How about this, Bureau Chief Tan and I host you for a meal, and I’ll have my men handle the matter of Xiao Wu’s parents’ remains."

"Starting with Lei De, and locating those who operated the excavators and handled the graves in the tea garden, questioning them one by one, we’ll find them sooner or later!"

As he said this, Du Wenfeng looked at Huo Sining with hope.

But he was destined for disappointment, as Huo Sining had no intention of eating under such circumstances.

Moreover, her perception of Du Wenfeng wasn’t good. As a municipal party secretary, he was unaware of the mess in his jurisdiction, proving his incompetence.

Even after such chaos in the morning, Du Wenfeng thought not of resolving it promptly but of the official routine of banquets, showing he lacked understanding.

Therefore, Huo Sining didn’t wish to deepen relations here and merely replied:

"Secretary Du, a scandal in a place like Xiakan Village indicates lax governance and inadequate management."

Du Wenfeng didn’t dare to refute, honestly nodding in admission and promising to rectify immediately.

Huo Sining was quite dissatisfied with Du Wenfeng’s response:

"Secretary Du, let’s forget about the meal, my friends and I have other matters, and I hope you personally oversee the cleanup and aftermath of this riot, I’m sure there’s much more to do, so I won’t take up your time."

"Additionally, Xiakan Village suffered unfairly, and I hope you put forward a reasonable settlement plan for the tea garden issue promptly; the government needs accomplishments and GDP, but not at the cost of ordinary people’s welfare, don’t you agree?"

Du Wenfeng had hoped to appease Huo Sining with a meal, perhaps closing this incident, but now realizing Huo Sining wouldn’t engage in such, his heart sank, face pallor, looking lost, only managing an awkward smile:

"You’re right, we shouldn’t let ordinary people suffer."
