Chapter 646 Failure.
When Xia Meng heard what He Shen said, she did not reply to him immediately, but said,
"First, let's talk about what this safe zone is all about, shall we?"
"How did you guys turn a safe area into a den of evil that harms people?"
Although Xia Meng's tone was relatively calm when she spoke, He Shen and He Ying seemed to sense a strong murderous intent in their ears.
For no reason, they felt a chill on their necks, as if an invisible, sharp knife was pressed against their necks, ready to chop them down at any time.
Xia Meng first looked at He Ying,
"Say!"
He Ying trembled and glanced at Xia Meng. She couldn't see any expression on Xia Meng's face, but He Ying felt uneasy and hesitated...
Xia Meng saw that He Ying was not cooperating, and her face immediately darkened.
"Say!"
He Ying shuddered and said hurriedly,
"Yes!"
"That's it..."
Through He Ying's narration, Xia Meng finally truly understood this safe zone.
Because there were many refugees who fled to Tangzhou to make a living, Xia Meng built safety zones in various parts of Tangzhou and issued an order that if any disaster victims came to the safety zones, they should not be driven away.
Of course, with so many victims, food, clothing and other necessities are big problems. The safe zone can report the number of victims and receive funding and supplies from above.
He Ying and He Shen set their eyes on these supplies. They took in many disaster victims and a lot of supplies were allocated to them from above, but they privately appropriated and resold them.
As for the disaster victims, they simply locked them up and either sold them or left them to fend for themselves.
Of course, people will be sent regularly to check how many people are in the safe zone.
The reason why they are so unscrupulous is that the inspectors have been bribed by them.
He Ying and He Shen said how many people there were in the safe zone, and that was how many people there were.
So, before, when Ruan Feng wanted to come in, the security guard was so resistant because he saw that Ruan Feng was a stranger.
After entering, they found that the number of tents inside the safe zone was obviously not equal to the number of disaster victims. He Ying was afraid that Xia Meng and the others would notice something, so she decided to go all out and kill Xia Meng directly.
It's a pity that they had good intentions, but they didn't expect that Xia Meng was not someone they could deal with.
When He Ying was about to finish speaking, she did not forget to defend herself.
"Governor Xia, I didn't want to do it at the time, but He Shen forced me to do it. He was the one who forced me to do it. I really didn't agree. Believe me, I am innocent."
"Governor Xia, you must believe me..."
When He Shen saw that He Ying put all the responsibility on him, he immediately scolded He Ying.
"You little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? Did I force you to do that? Haha... you still have the nerve to say that."
"Didn't you take any benefits? Didn't you take enough benefits?"
"When has there ever been a benefit that didn't include you? Now you're pretending to be innocent, but is that any use?"
After hearing what He Shen said, He Ying was so scared that her face turned green. She glanced at Xia Meng with fear in her eyes, and then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xia Meng's face was still calm.
"Governor Xia, please don't listen to his nonsense. The entire safe zone listens to him. He gave me gifts and money to drag me down. I dare not refuse!"
"If I don't accept it, he will kill me the next day. Governor Xia, I have no choice. I am doing this just to stay alive. Please believe me."
He Shen almost laughed out loud when he heard what He Ying said. He looked at He Ying with full contempt.
"My dear niece, this is the first time that your uncle knows how good you are at speaking. You make yourself sound so innocent and pathetic. Do you think you can get away with it? What a joke! Ridiculous! Stupid!!!"
He Ying snorted at He Shen's ridicule, her tone somewhat innocent.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? I am innocent. You did all this. I just...had to listen to you. If you hadn't forced me, how could I have done such a heinous thing?"
He Shen felt like he was about to vomit the food he had eaten yesterday, it was so disgusting.
He Shen no longer paid attention to He Ying. Now it was not He Ying but Xia Meng who controlled his fate.
"Governor Xia, I admit...I did some excessive things, but in this world, the strong prey on the weak, and I am the prey of others. If I wasn't a little ruthless, I might have been killed by others. I had no choice."
"If Governor Xia can let me go this time, I promise that Governor Xia will repay me."
"I, He Shen, have known many people in both the black and white worlds over the years. In this era, I think I can still be useful to you, Governor Xia. As long as you think highly of me, my life will belong to you, Governor Xia. If you tell me to go east, I will never dare to go west. I will definitely listen to you. What do you think?"
Xia Meng glanced at He Shen coldly, as if she was not moved by He Shen's words at all.
Seeing that Xia Meng didn't seem to be interested, He Shen said anxiously,
"Governor Xia, I can really help you, and I can give you all the wealth I have accumulated over the years. As long as you spare my life, I will give you everything I have."
Xia Meng called Zhang Xiangqian and Ruan Feng and asked them to come over.
The two of them ran over quickly.
Ruan Feng was outside the whole time, waiting to pick them up at any time.
Zhang Xiangqian found another basement where the victims were held captive. During the investigation, he was discovered by an onlooker. The two sides got into a fight, and Zhang Xiangqian had a hard time subduing several people.
After receiving Xia Meng's call, Zhang Xiangqian went to find Xia Meng without hesitation.
But what Zhang Xiangqian and Ruan Feng didn't expect was...
What they saw when they arrived at the villa was quite different from what they had imagined.
They thought that no matter how powerful the governor was, he would be in a mess facing so many people and would need their help.
But what did they see?
On the roadside were people with bullet wounds in the forehead or heart. In the villa, Xia Meng was standing with a gun, and the others had terrified and cautious expressions on their faces.
Um...
The governor is as majestic and domineering as ever!!!
"Governor!"
"Governor, are you okay?"
Zhang Xiangqian and Ruan Feng walked quickly to Xia Meng, looked her up and down with concern, and only felt relieved after making sure that Xia Meng was not injured.
Ruan Feng scanned the entire living room.
"these people?"
Xia Meng said to Ruan Feng, "Find a rope and tie them up. Wait until the snow stops tomorrow and then call someone."
Ruan Feng, "Yes!"
Zhang Xiangqian noticed that Xia Meng was holding a gun.
However, Zhang Xiangqian thought that the gun in Xia Meng's hand might have been found in the safe zone, after all, He Shen's men also had guns.
The world is in chaos now, and there are too many channels to get guns.
When Ruan Feng found the rope and was about to tie He Ying up, He Ying wanted to run away, but was tripped by Xia Meng and fell to the ground. She did not forget to hug Xia Meng's legs and beg for mercy.
"Governor Xia, I really know I was wrong. As long as you forgive me this time, I will be yours from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I...will definitely listen to you."
Xia Meng just wanted to roll her eyes, shook her head, and kicked He Ying away.
"This isn't a feudal society. Can I still ask you to sign a contract to sell yourself?"
Return my people? Xia Meng just thought it was ridiculous.
He Ying really didn't care about her dignity anymore, she shouted directly at Xia Meng,
"Governor Xia, as long as you can let me go, I can sign a contract to sell myself. Not to mention a contract to sell myself, I will sign anything you ask me to sign!"
Xia Meng, "Selling one's body indenture is illegal in modern society, don't you know?"
He Ying: "Governor Xia, society is like this now, who cares about this..."
Xia Meng waved her hand and asked Zhang Xiangqian to take He Ying away.
Xia Meng looked at He Shen again, "Mr. He, I have some questions for you."
He Shen looked downcast. He looked up at Xia Meng and said weakly,
"go ahead."
He Shen knew that he could not escape, so in order to live a decent life before his death, he cooperated with Xia Meng very well. No matter what Xia Meng asked, He Shen answered honestly.
After asking almost all the questions, Xia Meng asked Zhang Xiangqian to tie up He Shen and lock him up.
Xia Meng did not alarm the other people in the safe zone as the snow was still falling outside.
In addition, although there are not many people in this safe zone, there are still several hundred of them. If these several hundred people riot, it may not be easy to resolve.
Xia Meng asked someone to call the deputy director over.
Through He Ying, Xia Meng learned that the deputy director of the security zone was Zhou Li.
Zhou Li’s surname was not He, but his wife’s surname was He.
Zhou Li did not approve of what He Ying and He Shen did, so he tried to stop them several times. If it were not for the fact that his wife's surname was He, He Ying and He Shen would not have let him go so easily.
Although He Ying and He Shen did not do anything to Zhou Li, Zhou Li's power was also undermined.
In the safe zone, almost no one listens to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li even thought about reporting them, but He Ying and He Shen noticed it, and they kept hiring people to monitor Zhou Li.
He also warned Zhou Li's wife that if Zhou Li dared to report it, even if Zhou Li's wife's surname was He, he would kill their entire family.
Zhou Li's wife was scared, and under his wife's strong persuasion, Zhou Li had to give up the idea of reporting the case. He stayed at home every day and was put under house arrest.
Xia Meng originally wanted to ask someone to call Zhou Li over, but after thinking about it, she decided to let Ruan Feng go.
Ruan Feng asked He Ying for the address of Zhou Li's house. After arriving at Zhou Li's house, Ruan Feng saw that the lights were on and knew that they were still awake.
Yes, with the constant sound of gunfire before, I think many people couldn’t sleep.
Ruan Feng walked up and knocked on the door.
Soon, a woman's vigilant voice came from inside.
"Who is it? Who's outside?"
Ruan Feng guessed that the woman should be Zhou Li's wife, so he said,
"Hello, I'm from the city, here to see Deputy Director Zhou."
