Anshan City, under the guidance of a group of Awakeners, the relocation process was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Those carrying their luggage, with their families in tow, all had smiles on their faces, and were full of praise for Chairman Li.
In contrast, the faces of the residents standing on both sides of the road darkened with hostile glares fixed on these newcomers.
They had paid a huge price to earn a spot in the city, but these outsiders?
They were moving in for free?
How is that fair!
Not far away, someone whispered in Hua Jun’s ear, "Chairman, it seems like the people in the city are not happy."
"Hmm."
Hua Jun nodded.
Though the city’s residents had strong opinions, they wouldn’t dare act out in public with their presence. But what might happen in private, there’s no telling.
In fact, he didn’t really care about the lives of these ordinary people; what did it matter if more of them died?
However, if the city’s security were compromised, it would reflect poorly on his leadership, and he’d have a hard time explaining to the Chairman.
The next moment, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said:
"Pass the word, whether they are original residents or new arrivals, anyone who causes trouble will be killed without mercy."
"Understood!"
Several Awakeners immediately responded.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
The phone in Hua Jun’s pocket vibrated.
Hua Jun took out the phone, and when he saw the name on the screen, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It was Yan Hao calling.
"Why is he calling me?"
Hua Jun frowned but answered the call, "Hello?"
"Chairman Hua, it’s me."
Yan Hao chuckled, "I hope I’m not disturbing your work, Chairman Hua?"
"It’s alright."
Hua Jun sighed in relief, his tone softened a bit, and he asked, "Brother Yan, what makes you call me suddenly?"
"I do have something important."
Yan Hao said.
"Something important?"
Hua Jun asked suspiciously, "What is it?"
"Chairman Hua, it’s best to discuss this in person." Yan Hao lowered his voice, "It concerns the safety of Anshan City, and your safety as well. Please come over as soon as possible."
"The safety of Anshan City and my own safety?"
Hua Jun’s expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly asked, "Can’t you tell me over the phone?"
Yan Hao gave a wry smile, "Chairman Hua, it’s very complicated and can’t be explained in a few words. It’s best to talk face-to-face."
He paused, then added, "Chairman Hua, you’ll understand how important it is to come in person once you hear what I have to say."
"Alright, I’ll come over now."
After a brief consideration, Hua Jun agreed.
Better safe than sorry.
"You guys stay here and keep watch. I need to make a quick trip."
As soon as these words fell, before the others could react, he disappeared from sight.
"?"
Several Awakeners looked at each other in confusion.
"What happened? Where’s the Chairman?"
"Probably something urgent. Since he asked us to keep watch, we’ll just stay here and do that."
"Yes, maybe he got a call from Chairman Li and had to rush back."
"That’s possible."
None of them thought much of it.
Meanwhile, Hua Jun had already appeared downstairs at Yan Hao’s house.
"Brother Yan."
He called up to the upstairs.
"Chairman Hua."
Yan Hao walked out from the living room on the first floor, "Chairman Hua, please come in."
"Alright."
Hua Jun didn’t think much of it and followed him in.
The large villa seemed to have only Yan Hao inside.
A faint scent lingered in the air, with sandalwood burning in a distant censer.
They sat down on the sofa.
"Brother Yan, you mentioned on the phone that there was an urgent matter. What is it, related to Anshan City and myself?" Hua Jun asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.
"That’s correct."
Yan Hao said, pouring water into the cups in front of them, "Chairman Hua, you must be tired from this morning, have some water first?"
