Su Bingyan's three commands instantly sent shockwaves through Stone City.
Not just Stone City, but the entire central province where Chaoge City was located also reacted to the news.
Provincial Governor Zhao Tianyou, along with his secretary and heads of various departments, immediately boarded a bus and headed straight for Stone City.
"Governor Zhao, is such a grand show of force necessary?" several heads of the central province departments expressed their doubts.
Zhao Tianyou, holding his large tea mug, a leader known for his simplicity, smiled slightly. "You've all been with me for a long time. When I came to the central province, I brought you all in because we are all insiders."
The department heads showed gratitude. "Of course. Without Governor Zhao, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Zhao Tianyou took a sip of tea and nodded. "Since we are insiders, I might as well speak frankly. You've all worked in the central province for so long, what's the hardest part?"
As he spoke, he specifically looked at Zhang Tianguang, the "Mayor of Chaoge City."
Zhang Tianguang was promoted by Zhao Tianyou himself. Years ago, when Zhao Tianyou was working on the border, Zhang Tianguang was always at the forefront, a formidable general!
However, after only half a year in Chaoge, Zhang Tianguang's hair had turned white, and his face was haggard.
He smiled bitterly. "Governor Zhao, you trust me and transferred me to the super metropolis of Chaoge. I was full of drive at first, but now, I really can't hold on anymore."
Everyone was horrified.
What had happened in Chaoge to make Zhang Tianguang, once nicknamed "Mad Wolf," become so dejected?
"Alas, it's difficult, too difficult. Other work is not a problem for me, but these cases of abnormal monster appearances are simply deadly."
Zhang Tianguang scratched his head, recounting the cases in Chaoge City during this period.
"If I can't solve the case and can't find the culprit, and the victims cause trouble every day, I'm on pins and needles in my office. Many people barge in and point fingers at me, asking what I'm good for."
Zhang Tianguang became more agitated as he spoke, pulling out a clump of his hair. "I don't want this either. I've been desperately supervising these cases, mobilizing all my elite subordinates, but now, not a single case has been solved." Su Dan Novel Network
Zhao Tianyou waved his hand. "Stop talking. I know all about this."
He looked at the others. "As guardians of our region, if we can't even guarantee the safety of our people, what are we doing?"
Therefore, the biggest problem in the entire central province was the "monster cases" that couldn't be reported!
Zhang Tianguang smiled wryly. "There are actually a few capable people in Chaoge. I invited them over, and they all said they couldn't handle it because all the cases were related to Lingmeng Mountain."
Everyone was horrified again. "Isn't that mountain sealed off? The military is guarding it."
Zhang Tianguang rubbed his forehead. "I don't think it's useful. I went to discuss with the head of the Chaoge military to strengthen their guard. They were accommodating and doubled the number of guards, but what's the point? Reports of monsters still appear every day."
"It's not that the military isn't helping. They are adhering to their duties, and I see it clearly. But I'm afraid even they can't do anything."
What exactly had happened?
Why did Lingmeng Mountain, which had been quiet for nearly a hundred years, suddenly start appearing with all sorts of monsters?
Zhao Tianyou patted the shoulder of the person next to him. "Now there is hope. Dean Su Bingyan has appeared in Stone City. We are all here to pay our respects and must ask her to help us find a solution."
Zhao Tianyou looked left and right. "Right now, Tian Guang can barely contain the situation in Chaoge with all his effort. Once he can't hold on, your surrounding areas will be finished!"
These senior officials of the central province now understood the seriousness of the matter.
If the monsters from Chaoge City, which even Zhang Tianguang couldn't handle, spread to the areas below, they would all be in serious trouble.
"Governor Zhao, what's Dean Su's background? Can she really help?"
Zhao Tianyou smiled slightly. "Dean Su not only heads the Supervisory Yuan of the Great Xia, but her sister, Su Ning Shuang, is also a renowned detective in Chu Province. Not to mention, Dean Su has close ties with several extraordinary individuals, so she can definitely help."
Actually, regarding Su Bingyan, there were some things Zhao Tianyou dared not speak of.
For example, the Wanliu Mountain Villa incident.
According to unofficial sources, during that World Martial Arts Tournament, terrifying lizard monsters appeared, and not just one, but hundreds and thousands of them. In the end, it was Su Bingyan who led the charge, along with several other powerful figures, to quell them.
This was a top-secret matter, known only to a few people in the capital.
Zhao Tianyou knew some of the inside story through an old superior.
"Alright, we're about to reach Stone City. Everyone, pull yourselves together!"
At this moment, at the Stone City train station, Han Lengjun, who had just received the news, was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
He certainly wasn't afraid of Zhao Tianyou and his group. The Supervisory Yuan had the authority to oversee, and their specific purpose was to deal with high-ranking officials.
Therefore, Zhao Tianyou and Zhang Tianguang had to be polite to him, Director Han.
But!
Dean Su from the central administration in the capital had also come?
Not only that, but he heard that executives from the Tianyi Financial Group were also rushing over.
Could it be?
Was it because of Bai Xinyue and Song Jin'er?
Han Lengjun was bewildered.
"We can't block so many passengers. If they get impatient and cause trouble, how can we manage it?"
Han Lengjun's eyes flashed. "Immediately dispatch buses, as many as possible. Tell them the train has a problem, and Stone City will be responsible for transporting these people to their destinations for free."
This arrangement would incur significant costs.
But Han Lengjun couldn't afford to worry about that. "We absolutely must not let Governor Zhao and Dean Su see any chaos at the station."
He issued orders one by one, striving only to stabilize the situation.
Then, he made phone calls.
Soon, he received replies from the Bai and Song families.
"Old Han, don't worry. This time, we're coming with several vice-presidents from the financial group. Those vice-presidents are all old veterans. They inherently don't respect Su Bingyan. Don't forget, these old leaders were all subordinates of Chen Tian Ce, our God of Wealth, the former president of the Shenzhou General Chamber of Commerce. She, Su Bingyan, is just an outsider who was parachuted in..."
Han Lengjun felt much more at ease.
He also heard that several other influential figures from the Supervisory Yuan were coming this time.
And these figures with real power were all people Han Lengjun had taken care of.
He became even less worried.
"Speaking of which, our Dean Su is so young and lacks any prestige. She shouldn't dare to do anything to me, right?" Han Lengjun put his hands behind his back and suddenly smiled. "Perhaps if I perform well this time, I might even get promoted and get rich."
On the train, Han Meng and Ye Hu, like bodyguards, followed Bai Xinyue and Song Jin'er off the train.
Not far away, a group of students from the vocational college were gathered, excitedly discussing, "Su Yuluo is also on this train. Isn't she the star student of our college?"
Song Jin'er immediately stopped. "Who is Su Yuluo?"
Bai Xinyue frowned. "She's the student with the highest score, the one who can go to Imperial University. She insisted on coming to vocational college, I don't know why."
Han Meng's eyes lit up. "I know! They say she's a super beauty, the future campus belle of the college..."
