Night.
Guangming Street Garden.
The garden was brightly lit by the street lamps and the wiring lights. Dong Xuebing was present at the scene to direct the construction of this temporary shelter.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
"Director, we are fine."
"We have to work through the night, and this is the time when the people need us. Hang in there."
"We can hang in there. Eh, Director, don't do it yourself. Let us do it."
"How can I just watch you all do it? Do you all have enough tents? "
"If it's just this shelter, we should have enough. But it is not enough to build shelters in other parks and squares."
"Director Zhou, contact the sporting goods company and ask them to send the necessary supplies over. If they do not have enough money, we need to sign an IOU first!"
"Ok. I will go now."
"Everyone, work hard! Whether we can survive this disaster depends on you all! "
The garden is not small, and there are no high-rise buildings around. There are no collapsible structures, and it is the best place to set up a shelter. Dozens of tents had been set up around the garden. Some are small tents, and most of them are large tents made by the factories. But these tents only fill up the garden and are far from enough. The construction speed is too slow. Dong Xuebing helped the Street Office staff to set up the tents, move the supplies, set up the lighting equipment, and set up the tents.
After taking care of the shelter, Dong Xuebing drove to the streets.
It's midnight, but the streets are crowded. Many people are resting on the streets, and some even brought their own tents to set up camp. They are worried about the earthquake.
"Old Zhou, you are here too?"
"That's right. My whole family is here."
"I heard the TV had refuted the rumors. They said there is no basis for the earthquake."
"I can't afford to gamble. I will stay outside for a few days. I don't dare to return home."
"I think so too. It's better to believe than to believe. Come, let's stay next to each other. I've brought a tent too."
Dong Xuebing did not stop them. This is for the best, as everyone knows how to pick their spots. The buildings at the side are all low-rise buildings, and they are far away from the shelter. Even if the buildings collapse, everyone will be fine. The shelter cannot accommodate too many people and can only accommodate a small portion of them. That's why everyone can find their own spots, and this is good. No one is stupid, and they know where to hide from the earthquake. This will save the Street Administration a lot of work.
But when Dong Xuebing was about to drive away, he saw a few police cars driving towards him and stopped by the roadside.
Looking at the license plate, it was the license plate of the District Public Security Bureau.
A few police officers got out of the car. There was also a middle-aged man with a big beer belly. Judging from his rank, he should be the Deputy Director of the District Public Security Bureau.
After getting out of the car, a few police officers surrounded the residents on the roadside.
A thin police officer shouted, "This is a public place! Who asked you all to sleep here?! "
An old man looked at them. "It's going to be an earthquake. Are you all going to let us die at home?"
The thin police officer shouted. "Who told you all there is going to be an earthquake? Ah? What kind of rumors do you all believe? There is no such thing! Go back now! Go back now! "
A middle-aged couple was carrying their one-year-old child. "Are we disturbing you all by staying here? The papers had said there might be an earthquake! You all don't believe me, but I do! "
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu stood up and said, "Comrades, I can assure you about the earthquake. I have just received news from the district committee, and there is absolutely no such thing. The Earthquake Department has already confirmed that there are no signs of an earthquake. Everyone, please rest assured and go home. Your presence here has seriously affected the local security and traffic, and has seriously affected our work. Now, everyone, please go back!"
Go back now! "That old man refused to listen." You all think there is no earthquake? Earthquake Department? If they can detect an earthquake! Did so many people die in the previous earthquakes? "
"That's right. I am not leaving!"
"My dog had been barking the whole day! This is weird! "
"You all still want us to leave? Are you all trying to get us killed?! "
"What are you all thinking?! Are you all happy to see us dead?! "
"That's right! Are we disturbing you all by staying here?! "
Dong Xuebing's article made many people believe there was an earthquake. Of course, there are still some who don't believe it. But those who are willing to sleep on the streets in the middle of the night are afraid of the earthquake. Dong Xuebing can't persuade them with just a few words.
This area is not far from Guangming Park.
Suddenly, many staff from the Street Office, including Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling, ran over from the other side of the road.
"What are you all doing?" Wang Yuling stared at them.
Zhou Yanru asked. "What's wrong? What happened? "
A middle-aged woman knew Zhou Yanru and immediately replied. "Chief Zhou, the Police are trying to coax us to leave. They said we are not allowed to sleep on the streets here. What is wrong with them? An earthquake is coming, and they still don't want us to take shelter?! They're trying to kill us! " Who are they?! "
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Yanru. "You are one of the staff from the Street Office? Good. Get your men to persuade the residents to go home now! Don't let the earthquake spread! Look at what is happening now! The streets are filled with people sleeping on the ground and sleeping in tents! Many people had reported us! "
Zhou Yanru looked at him. "We had received the district's earthquake warning notice, and the Street Office had also issued evacuation notices!"
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu's rank is much higher than Zhou Yanru, and he is more confident. "Earthquake warning? How come we don't know about this? I had just received orders from the District Committee and the Public Security Bureau to rectify the security in all districts! No one is allowed to sleep in the open! Since you are one of the Street Office's staff, then don't break the law! The whole Nanshan district is in chaos! You all still want to add fuel to the fire? What are you all trying to do? Ah? This is destroying social order! Do you believe that I will bring you back to the Public Security Bureau for interrogation? "
The skinny officer shouted at the crowd. "I will say this one more time! Go home now! The earthquake will not come! If you all continue like this, we will not hold back anymore! " Then we won't stand on ceremony! "He immediately turned around and ordered the policemen behind him," Take them away! Bring them back to the station! "
"Yes, Sir."
"Yes, Sir."
The few officers stepped forward to make an example out of them.
Zhou Yanru and the rest of the Street Office staff were furious. But before they could say anything, they heard the sound of a car door closing!
Dong Xuebing alighted from the car.
Dong Xuebing's eyes were filled with anger. To him, these officers were asking for death. Tomorrow is the day of the earthquake, and there are less than 12 hours left. Time is of the essence, and they still dare to let the civilians go home to wait for death? You all still want to arrest the people and bring them back to the station? I had worked so hard to publish that article, and the TV station is against me. How dare you all create trouble behind my back? Damn! You all must be tired of living!
The District's Public Security Bureau is under Wang Anshi's control. This time, they are here on orders from the District Committee. This is a confrontation between Wang Anshi and the Yuehua Mayor!
But you all chose our Guangming Street Office to be your target?
You all don't know who I am? You all don't even know your surname!
"Chief!"
"Chief Dong!"
"Chief is here!"
The people from the Street Office were relieved when they saw Dong Xuebing. They had been working with Dong Xuebing for a long time, and they know how Dong Xuebing works.
At the Public Security Bureau.
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu's eyelids twitched, and the rest of the officers are also scared.
Who doesn't know who Dong Xuebing is? Nanshan District's biggest troublemaker! The hooligan among hooligans!
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu did not expect to meet Dong Xuebing here. But he had received instructions from the higher-ups, and he had no choice but to step forward. "Chief Dong, these residents are now … …"
Dong Xuebing did not even listen to him and interrupted him. "What did you all say? What is the meaning of this? Huh? You all want to arrest the residents of our street? "
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu replied. "This had affected us a lot, so … …"
"Affect your head!" Dong Xuebing points at Deputy Bureau Chief Chu. "This is our Guangming Street Office's business! Do we need you to interfere? Do we need your Public Security Bureau to interfere? Arrest? Fine! You all arrest one of them for me to see! Come! Arrest! Let me have a look! "
The residents were stunned. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to be the Street Office's Chief. He is totally different from what they had imagined!
The people from Guangming Street Office were also speechless. They did not expect Chief Dong to scold them.
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu's face turned green and white. He was also a Section Chief and had the same rank as Dong Xuebing. Although the God of Plague was a notorious figure, Deputy Bureau Chief Chu could not stand it. He stared at Dong Xuebing and shouted. "Watch your tone! Watch your words! "
Dong Xuebing replied coldly. "This is what I said! I am also telling you! Take your men and get out of here right now! Don't come to our street and create trouble! "
"Create trouble?" Deputy Bureau Chief Chu shouted angrily. "You all are the ones creating trouble for the Public Security Bureau! You all dare to shout at me?! Don't you know that the District Committee had given the order to refute the rumors?! "
Dong Xuebing laughed. When he was about to say something, his phone rang.
It was the police station chief, Peng Gang. The moment he answered, he said, "Chief! Something happened here! The officers from our station were arrested by the Public Security Bureau! "
Dong Xuebing's face changed. "What?"
"At Guangming East Road! The officers from the station want to evacuate the residents! We are here to stop them! They gave the order to arrest the officers! I had stopped the cars! "
"Stop them! Wait for me! I will be there soon! "
Dong Xuebing could no longer suppress his anger! You all want to fight with me?!
