C689 Celestial Phenomenon(part Iii)

This was destined to not be a peaceful day.

The press conference of Xiao Yun's group had already caused quite a stir in Jinling City, causing the entire city to be in a flurry of discussion; however, before they could sort things out and receive the report from the police in General Street's villa area, they were shocked to discover that Tian Keqin was already dead. Furthermore, his corpse was shriveled, as if he had been dead for a very long time …

One must know that at the press conference, there were quite a few people who had seen Tian Keqin's appearance. In such a short time, how did he become like this?! In this fellow's house, the police discovered many female corpses that were similarly shriveled. Moreover, there were even things drawn out of blood on the walls of the villa that looked like talismans.

Even if one were to use their toes to think about it, they would be able to figure out the unusualness of this situation. After the police carefully reported this matter to the outside world, they would proclaim that Tian Kexin had committed suicide out of fear. Fortunately, because of the revelations of Tian Keqin's personal secretary, Jinling's citizens were informed of this fellow's misdeeds and thus did not cause too much trouble.

Moreover, many people were angered by this fellow's fear. They all declared on the internet that if Tian Keqin did not hesitate to commit suicide, then they should hold a public hearing for him to vent the anger in his heart.

In any case, the police were relieved that things were already so clear. However, before he could even catch his breath, strange changes began to continuously occur in Jinling City. The weather was very strange, sometimes it was raining, sometimes it was thunderstorm, sometimes it was scorching sun, and there were many citizens who reported that something was wrong …

For example, many people who were familiar with each other showed an unimaginable hostility. Some people would even stab and injure the other party just because of a slight quarrel, and some would even walk onto the streets and howl like evil ghosts.

With great difficulty, he managed to settle things in the east, then things happened in the west. He could care about the south, but he could not care about the north. In just a few hours, the police officers in Nanjing could feel that their workload was even higher than it was in a week.

However, what made the police even more depressed was the members of the Jinling Fire Department. In this kind of weather, there were actually many places in the city that were on fire, and the more it rained, the fiercer the fire became! It could be said that such a thing was unheard-of. Even though these firemen had been through hundreds of battles, they could still be considered heroes found in the flames. However, they still couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat …

The usually calm and tranquil Jinling City had now turned into a chaotic city. Things were happening everywhere, and no one was allowed to idle around. At the beginning, everyone thought that it was just an accident, but as time passed, they gradually felt that something was amiss. In fact, there were even people who started to suspect whether it was because of Jin Ling's recent actions.

Rumors were getting more rampant. The more time passed, the more leaders would be needed to lead the people out of the city. Not to mention that Tian Keqin was already dead, even if he was still alive, he wouldn't be able to shoulder such a great matter. Furthermore, changing generals was taboo, and right now, Jinling City needed someone the people trusted to stand up and lead it …

It was almost the shortest decision ever made by the Suzhou Provincial Committee, and it was the first time in history that all the members of the Committee had voted for it: to let the river take over from Tian Keqin and regain control of Jinling.

When the reinstated Mayor Jiang returned to the municipal government building, he didn't immediately start the cleaning of the outsider as he had done when Tian Keqin was back in power. Instead, he issued three orders: first, to request the cooperation of the Jinling military region; to impose martial law on the entire city; second, to have the police and fire alarm ready for battle; and third, to cooperate unconditionally with the Chess Building.

The first and second rules were easy to understand for the people from the city government. In this chaotic world where Jinling City was in a state of chaos, martial law and readiness were essential. However, the third rule, which demanded everyone to cooperate unconditionally, was simply impossible to be discussed. Could it be that the renovations of the Game Building would be able to calm the chaos in Jinling?!

What made these people even weirder was that after issuing these three orders, River had directly left the city government. No one could contact him, but everyone knew that he must have gone to the Victory Tower to rebuild the site!

Was this renovation really that important? Even in such a chaotic situation, the river would still have to concentrate on completing it?! These people were extremely puzzled. Even those who had followed the river in the past were confused. They felt that this was completely different from the river's usual style!

It was not because he did not want to explain to them, but because he did not know how to explain it. Furthermore, he felt that even if he said it himself, no one would believe him! However, he was even more clear that the current situation in Jinling City was very similar to the scene that he and Lin Bai had described at that time!

He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he allowed the current situation to continue … People like Tian Keqin felt that the black veil cap was important, but he, River Stream, only wanted the commoners in Jinling to have a happy and smooth life. As for everything else, it didn't matter, so even if he couldn't explain it to others, it was fine to be misunderstood.

"Lin Bai, how long do you think it will take for Jinling's current situation to settle down?" Entering the Game Tower full of thoughts, without even bothering to greet the people who had helped him, Rivers walked directly in front of Lin Bai and asked in a low voice.

Lin Bai could not help but smile wryly as he looked at the burning expression on the river. The people his grandfather had chosen were truly people who loved their people like children. Back when He Minglin was like this, the current river flow was no different.

"As long as the layout of the Victory Tower is set up well, I can restore the peace in Jinling." After pondering for a moment, Lin Bai continued, "But Mayor Jiang, you have to prepare well, this mess is only the beginning, and it's still during the day. If it's night time, the situation will become even more urgent, you have to control it well, don't let anything happen!"

These words weren't meant to frighten the river, but what Lin Bai said. During the day, although the five elements were reversed, the sun still shone brightly in the sky, giving off a rather heavy yang aura. But at night, when the yang energy dissipated and the Yin Sha of Jinling City was about to surface, and this ancient city that carried too many disasters had accumulated an incalculable amount of evil qi. At that time, the chaos would truly enter its climax.

"I've already sent some people to the Jinling military sector to announce that the entire city is under martial law. Police officers and fire officers from all departments have also entered the first class combat readiness state. No matter where something happens, they should be able to provide support!" Jiang Liu sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "If you have any requests, just say it. As long as you can complete the things on the side of the Game Tower in advance, you can pay any price!"

"Human!" "What I lack the most right now is manpower. There should be more soldiers in Jinling military region, so I can send some soldiers over to get them to help. This way, we can finish the project as soon as possible before it gets dark!" Lin Bai said.

Without any hesitation, River Stream took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called the military region of Jinling. Although the big bosses of the military sector didn't know what this meant, they still brought him a battalion of capable engineers to assist him in his work, since he was their father and mother.

After a simple mobilization, the soldiers roared and rushed towards the construction site. It had to be said that the efficiency of these well-trained soldiers far exceeded that of the common people. Moreover, their construction machinery was way more advanced than that of the civilians.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?" "Don't worry, as long as I can help you, I will do my best. Even if this matter is over, it would not be much of a problem to capture me once more." Jiang Liu took a look at the busy construction site, turned his head and asked Lin Bai in a deep voice.

Looking at River Stream's fiery gaze, Lin Bai could not help but sigh with emotion. He knew clearly in his heart that River Stream's words did not have the slightest hint of falsehood in them. No matter how excessive his request was, Lin Bai would definitely help him fulfill it!

"Nothing much, with these soldiers, we should be able to finish it before it gets dark!" Lin Bai smiled and shook his head. He said to River Stream, "Uncle Jiang, if you need to be busy, go ahead. With me taking care of things here, don't worry!"

However, he did not expect that the moment he said those words, Jiang Liu would stretch out his hand and take off his suit jacket, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt and spitting two mouthfuls of saliva onto his hand. Carrying his soldier, he walked towards the construction site in large strides.

"One more person to help, I'll help everyone!" The arrival of the river caused the citizens and soldiers to be extremely surprised. Looking at the expressions in their eyes, they couldn't help but to laugh. After saying that, without any hesitation, he walked towards the workers and started shoveling sand into the mixer with them.

He did not look like he was putting on a show. His every move was skillful. Even the most venomous reporters and media people would be moved to tears when they saw this scene. Since ancient times, how many influential figures had been able to do what the river did?

Loving the people like they were their sons! Lin Bai couldn't help but feel a burning heat in his heart. He felt that he had underestimated the waters of the river. His own grandfather really hadn't misjudged this! He also understood that it was precisely because of the existence of Jiang Liu that his hard work would not have been in vain. Only then would he be able to smoothly walk down the road of China's revival.

"I'll help too!" Lin Bai reached out to wipe his somewhat moist and hot eyes, picked up the shovel beside him and said in a clear voice.

At this critical moment, he could see the thoughts in the hearts of people. With an official like this, a soldier like this, and even more people like this, how could he, Lin Bai, not go all out?
