"Director Chen, have you really decided to go down?"
Master Qu asked Chen Feng one last time at the entrance of the mine disaster site.
"To take down the Hu brothers' criminal organization in Wuzhou District, we must investigate underground."
Chen Feng said with a solemn expression.
"Director Chen, it's like this. Based on my understanding of the Hu brothers, they must know we are here to investigate. Since they know we are coming, they will definitely set up traps underground to kill us. That way, no one will dare to manage them anymore."
Master Qu explained earnestly.
"The more it's like this, the more we must go underground to investigate. If everyone is afraid of death and dare not fight against evil forces, then evil forces will surely become more rampant."
Chen Feng explained with a solemn expression.
"However, Master Qu, you are retired and at an age to enjoy your family. You don't have to take this risk."
Chen Feng added.
"Director Chen, you are a high official. For us common people, you are not afraid of death. Then we, as common people, have no reason to be timid. I will accompany you down. If we die, it will be glorious."
Master Qu replied with a smile.
Thus, the two descended into the mine together.
After a thorough inspection, Chen Feng quickly discovered the cause of the mine disaster.
It was more of human fault than natural disaster.
It turned out that the Hu brothers, in order to have more miners secretly dig in the mine, knowing the danger, still dismantled the support pillars.
When the support pillars were dismantled, a mine disaster naturally occurred.
"Master Qu, the facts are very clear. This mine disaster has nothing to do with the Zhao family. It was the Hu brothers who disregarded human lives for profit."
Chen Feng said with a heavy heart.
"Director Chen, since there is evidence of the Hu brothers' crimes, we can directly call the police."
Master Qu said excitedly.
"We cannot call the police."
Chen Feng stopped him immediately.
"Director Chen, the criminal evidence is conclusive, why can't we call the police? Could it be that you are still afraid of the Hu brothers?"
Master Qu tested.
"Master Qu, you misunderstand. If I were afraid of the Hu brothers, do you think I would still come down to investigate? The reason I am not calling the police is that I want to catch the Hu brothers privately. If we report it to the police, it will just be a drawn-out affair."
Chen Feng said solemnly.
"Director Chen, you mean to fight violence with violence?"
Master Qu's eyes shot out a sharp glint.
"Yes, to fight violence with violence."
Chen Feng nodded firmly.
"Director Chen, aren't you a government official? Shouldn't you lead by example in abiding by the law..."
Master Qu asked with confusion.
"The entire society must abide by the law and rely on the law. However, we cannot be rigid in special circumstances. Especially when dealing with dark organizations with backgrounds that endanger the community, we cannot be too rigid. If we are too rigid, those who commit heinous crimes and endanger the community will escape justice."
Chen Feng explained seriously.
"Director Chen, may I be so bold as to ask, how do you plan to fight violence with violence against the Hu brothers in Wuzhou District?"
Master Qu asked curiously.
"Select a few spirited individuals from the families of the deceased, arrange for them to go abroad, and provide them with sufficient funds. You understand the rest."
Chen Feng explained truthfully.
"Director Chen, to be honest, you are a very special official. How to describe it? Neither wholly good nor wholly evil."
Master Qu looked at the young man in front of him with admiration.
Rather than a government official, he was more like a knight-errant.
A knight-errant who pleaded for the common people and did not follow the usual path.
"Master Qu, you flatter me. By the way, let's go up now. I'll go first, you follow behind."
"Director Chen, Wuzhou District can do without me, Master Qu, but it cannot do without you, Director Chen. I should go first."
Master Qu said emotionally.
Chen Feng, this young man, was decisive when dealing with bad people and full of kindness towards the common people.
For the sake of the common people, he was willing to take the risk himself.
Without a doubt, the Hu brothers must have set up traps on the way up, and a secondary collapse would occur upon triggering them.
"Actually, we don't need to argue."
Chen Feng suddenly smiled.
"What do you mean?"
Master Qu asked curiously.
"We can just call for help from the outside to get us out."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Director Chen, your idea won't work. The Hu brothers are professionals in illegal mining and have many explosives experts. If they casually plant sensitive explosives, even with help from the outside, it will be futile. If we two want to kill the Hu brothers, they naturally won't let us live. However, it doesn't matter, at least we have scared the Hu brothers quite a bit."
Master Qu comforted himself with a smile.
"Master Qu, you are too pessimistic. The Hu brothers' explosives experts are indeed formidable. However, no matter how formidable, it's useless. I have friends in the military, and their bomb disposal experts can deal with the Hu brothers' explosives experts with ease."
"That's not right, Director Chen. Aren't you a local government official? How do you know people in the military? The government and the military are two different systems."
Master Qu asked with confusion.
"Master Qu, it's a long story. My relationship with the military is very close due to the integrated reconnaissance and attack drones. If I make a call, they will definitely send people to rescue me."
After speaking, Chen Feng made a call.
"Done. We can wait here peacefully for an afternoon and then safely exit."
Chen Feng said with a calm smile.
"An afternoon? Will the Hu brothers send people to attack us?"
Master Qu asked with worry.
"Don't worry about that. All the exits are rigged with sensitive explosives. They won't seek their own death. If we don't go out for now, they won't be in a hurry either; they will just assume we will starve to death inside. Now, let's find a place to sleep well."
Chen Feng replied unhurriedly.
After speaking, Chen Feng found a quiet place and fell asleep.
Master Qu couldn't sleep at all, constantly worrying: Would the explosives detonate? Would the Hu brothers' men force their way in...
Looking at Chen Feng again, he was already sleeping soundly.
Master Qu sighed.
He had lived a lifetime, yet he still couldn't maintain a calm demeanor when faced with Mount Tai collapsing before him.
Young Chen Feng, however, had achieved it.
It had to be said that Chen Feng's composure was truly suitable for a career in politics.
Meanwhile, in the Hu brothers' office.
"Big Brother, don't worry. This time, that meddlesome Chen Feng is definitely dead. I've arranged for people to install the latest sensitive explosives at the mine entrance. As soon as Chen Feng walks out, he'll be dead for sure."
Hu Biao said excitedly.
"What if Chen Feng is afraid of death and refuses to come out?"
Hu Bao asked deliberately.
"If he refuses to come out, dead or alive, it doesn't matter to me. I'll starve him to death inside. There's no water or food in the mine, and he'll surely die within a week."
Hu Biao said excitedly.
"That's true. Keep an eye on this matter. Once Chen Feng is dead, we'll start the second wave of private mining. This time, the scale will be larger, 600 people. After all, if a mine disaster really occurs, the Wuzhou District leadership will be even more anxious than us and will try their best to conceal it."
Hu Bao said proudly.
"The key is, how do we recruit these 600 miners for the second wave of private mining?"
Hu Biao asked with confusion.
