It's time...

to speed up Sunzhou's work efficiency!!!

...

...

Meanwhile.

Sunzhou, inside a meeting room.

"Do you have any idea what the underground water system in Sunzhou has been polluted into now!?"

"Do you still think this is some small trouble? Let me tell you, if we keep dragging this, no one will come out unscathed!"

"Who the hell did it!?"

"Speak up! You're all acting like you're deaf and dumb, huh!!!"

"..."

Inside the meeting room.

A middle-aged man stood at the head position, his face extremely gloomy, looking at more than ten men in front of him.

Luo Jun was one of them.

The dozen or so people looked at one another, each pretending to be indifferent, without saying a word.

Seeing this.

The middle-aged man's heart immediately burned with towering anger.

"It's been a month..."

"It's already been a damn month!!!"

He reached out and slammed the table, the sound so loud that emotions seemed to reach a critical point.

"If we keep dragging this, the entire Sunzhou industry will stop production for me!"

"Everyone, without exception, will rectify!"

Upon hearing this.

The dozen or so people below suddenly began to stir restlessly.

Someone protested:

"What's it got to do with me? Our entire factory has been operating by the book, you can't implicate us just because you can't find the reason!?"

"The factory's already not doing well, closing for a few days means going bankrupt directly!"

"I know you're anxious, but you can't kill indiscriminately!"

After saying this.

The others began to speak:

"Exactly, stopping production for half a month at least, who will compensate for the money lost these half months?"

"Workers need to feed their families too, what if there's a commotion after half a month's pay is missing?"

"I've paid a high price to discharge waste properly, the city can't treat me like this!"

"Stopping so many factories, how many people lose their income..."

"Leader, you can't cut off all at once, this harms the innocent, we're all operating by the rules..."

"..."

After the words were said.

The middle-aged man became increasingly angry.

His gaze was extremely gloomy, his face seemed to be sweating, his sight scraped over these people's faces.

Sunzhou has already conducted a preliminary investigation based on the current situation.

The pollution...

Is extremely severe!

It's impossible for one factory alone to handle this, among these people, at least a third is involved in illegal discharge!

But... they keep their mouth shut.

It's been a month, whether through private meetings or illegal detentions.

But they just won't open their mouths, hard as stone!

Going to the factories to investigate?

Can't find anything, completely can't find anything.

Officials take people there, shut off the discharge, once they leave, sewage is discharged again the next moment...

It might even be completed with just a button press, a factory so large that even hundreds of people can't find anything!

"I'm telling you, if this issue isn't resolved, it won't end!"

"The case has already resulted in deaths! The body is still lying in the morgue!"

The middle-aged man stared at them intensely, his tone devoid of emotion.

"The family's attitude is extremely emotional, don't you think the case can be suppressed forever!?"

Upon hearing this.

The people around the meeting table looked at each other, exchanging glances.

Finally someone spoke up:

"Leader, don't rush, I know it's not easy for the officials either."

"But the problem is, you can't cut off all at once, it's unreasonable to order the entire Sunzhou factory to stop operations."

The middle-aged man immediately focused his gaze on the speaker.

It was... Luo Jun.

"We're all civilized people, can't act without evidence, without basis, otherwise we can sue you!"

Luo Jun sighed, showing a troubled expression.

He sat on the chair, glanced around him.

Then he suddenly put on a stern face.

"Everyone, don't blame me for not reminding you, whoever did it, step out, don't wait until the situation escalates and become unmanageable before being discovered!"

Though he spoke like this.

But...

Seeing him speak, the middle-aged man's face became even grimmer.

Judging by the detected heavy metals, among these people... the most suspicious is Luo Jun!

"Luo Jun!" he gritted his teeth and said.

"Here I am."

Luo Jun promptly responded.

After speaking, the pair fell silent.

After a while, Luo Jun cautiously inquired:

"Leader, um... can I leave?"

"Leave?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed, "Until the problem is resolved, no one can leave!"

After the words.

He directly sat on the chair, stubbornly holding out with these people.

Luo Jun and several others upon hearing this, looked at each other, saying nothing.

As for what the other side said...

Luo Jun wasn't worried.

Making money, no cold feet!

I've secretly discharged for decades, how could something happen just like that? The investigation has happened more than once or twice, and each time, haven't I managed to dodge it until now?

Moreover...

I have quite a few people on my side, the other side can't possibly cut all ties, right?

Thinking about this.

Luo Jun and the others didn't speak, instead becoming calm, sitting idle on the chair.

As for why he secretly discharged...

Are you kidding?

Doing it officially costs way too much money!? Even if petty theft is discovered, it doesn't matter; it's just paying fines, and the steel plant has paid several times.

The fines aren't much, and the cost savings from secret discharge are far more than just these tens of thousands!?

As for deaths...

Luo Jun carelessly stares into the sky, he simply doesn't care.

Compared to money, what do a few lives amount to!?

You should know, the profit I compress each year is astronomical!

Those who died aren't my people, why should I increase costs for their sake!?

Everyone present harbored ill intentions.

No one knows what the other side is thinking.

But, it seems like they know what the other side is thinking.

No one spoke.

Everyone just sat idle for a few hours.

Until...

"Bang!"

The door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open.

A middle-aged woman gasped for breath, her face extremely unsightly. As she pushed the door, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"What's wrong?" The middle-aged man's eyebrows furrowed.

The woman didn't speak, but with a sullen face, she fiercely scanned Luo Jun and the others, and then whispered:

"Old Zhang, come out for a moment!"

Come out?

But it's been tough waiting here for hours...

Zhang Fei paused, but seeing the woman's grave, extremely unsightly face, he eventually stood up and left.

"Bang!"

The door closed.

The few people in the meeting room instantly looked at each other.

Luo Jun squinted his eyes, listening intently.

And outside the door...

"There's not much time left, and it's rare to have gathered all these people together. If we can't finish the interrogation at once..."

Zhang Fei sighed and said.

Luo Jun and his group are like stones in a latrine, both stinky and hard!

Now, being called outside halfway through the interrogation, it's estimated it appears as a sign of weakness to the other side.

This is not good news.

"Stop the interrogation!"

The woman took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"The case... has been filed!"

Filed...?

Wasn't the case filed long ago? It was after the police conducted a post-mortem examination.

Zhang Fei thought this, but as he kept thinking, he suddenly realized.

His pupils contracted sharply.

And in front of him, the woman also said:

"Someone... took the detailed post-mortem report and sued Luo Jun and the others in court!"

"The intermediate court has already filed the case and is now looking to understand the situation from us!!!"

C-Court?

The case... has been laid out in the open!?

Suddenly.

Zhang Fei felt as if hit on the head by a hammer, his whole person feeling dizzy.

Having suppressed it for a month, the case couldn't be concealed forever, and it finally flared up.

But...

"Who sued!?"

Was this the work of the police!?"

Zhang Fei suddenly realized the other's words.

To file such a case without clear data, the court cannot establish a case!

And the other side mentioned the post-mortem report...

But the corpse was with Sun Jin at the police's side.

Meaning, theoretically, only the police have access to the corpse. Could it be them...

"No, not them."

The woman was also troubled.

Ma Hui was buzzing with the news he received, subconsciously thinking the corpse had been stolen.

But Zhao Qian went over to take a look and found the corpse still intact, lying in the morgue.

"The corpse is still with the police." The woman said.

If the corpse is with the police, no one else could possibly have access, so the post-mortem report shouldn't be possible.

Then the question arises.

The one filing the case...

In an instant.

"Where did the post-mortem report come from!?"

Zhang Fei became dumbfounded.

"Never mind where the post-mortem report came from. The important thing now is..."

The woman took a deep breath, "The case has already been laid bare, right now..."

"What should we do!"
