Jiang Xuecheng's voice was light, but when you heard him speak, you couldn't help but feel that he had an inexplicable majesty.
Like a god, people subconsciously want to worship it.
The executive officer obviously didn't expect that Jiang Xuecheng's first question would be this.
He was stunned for a moment, then after he came to his senses, he immediately introduced Jiang Xuecheng with a smile.
"Your Highness, don't worry too much. We have already resettled the affected residents. Disasters such as earthquakes and mountain torrents and mudslides have rarely occurred recently. It is estimated that Planet Aquamarine will be able to return to its original state in the short term."
The executive's voice was full of energy when he spoke, but to Su Wan's ears, she couldn't help but feel that it was a bit weird, as if he was bragging.
Probably because I didn’t like this executive the first time I met him. First impression is very important.
Jiang Xuecheng had an indifferent expression. After listening to the executive's words, he said coldly.
"Now that the residents have been relocated, let's go check out Area B, which was the hardest hit."
ah?!
The executive officer frowned upon hearing this.
It seems that the newly promoted prince of the Divine Court has done some homework...
"Are we going now?"
The executive officer couldn't help but feel a little conflicted when he thought of the scene there.
He originally thought that he could simply fool around with a few words, and in a couple of days he would just take Jiang Xuecheng to Area A, which was the least affected, to go through the motions, and then it would basically be done.
"It's now."
Jiang Xuecheng's intimidating phoenix eyes stared at the executive, making the executive almost afraid to look him in the eye.
"Why, is there a problem?"
Why are this young man's eyes so sharp!
Being looked at like that by Jiang Xuecheng, the executive officer shuddered subconsciously, opened his lips, and spoke to Jiang Xuecheng in a whisper.
"Your Highness, it's not a big problem. It's just that the mountain roads in Area B are rugged and there are serious geological landslides. It rained heavily yesterday and the water level there is also very high. If we go to Area B now, we are afraid of sudden disasters."
The executive officer looked at Jiang Xuecheng's face nervously, with a hint of hope in his eyes.
"Your Highness, how about we wait for a couple of days until the weather is better before heading to Area B?"
But how could Jiang Xuecheng fulfill his wish
He glanced at the executive officer with cold eyes, sharper than an eagle's.
"In that case, we should go now."
The executive felt depressed when he heard this, but seeing Jiang Xuecheng's expression, he knew it was useless to refuse, so he had to agree.
…
On the maglev train, Su Wan was sitting in the second row as an attendant, while Jiang Xuecheng and the executive officer were sitting in front of her.
Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng ask many questions, such as the arrangement of supplies and the whereabouts of the Divine Court's funding.
The executive officer answered very clearly at first, but as soon as Jiang Xuecheng asked a few more detailed questions, the executive officer's answers became hesitant, and his words suddenly seemed untenable.
In short, Su Wan felt a headache after hearing this, and then he had the impression that this executive was probably not a good official.
Just from the questions Jiang Xuecheng asked, Su Wan felt that the middle-aged man probably had a bad record and had embezzled disaster relief funds.
However, Su Wan didn't know how Jiang Xuecheng would deal with it.
She didn't doubt Jiang Xuecheng's moral issues, but this matter was rather tricky, involving the interests of too many people, and this executive obviously knew the situation best.
Su Wan prefers to take things slow, after all, things have their priorities.
The first priority is to deal with the mess in the disaster-stricken areas of the Aquamarine Planet. At the same time, we need to collect evidence and find out where the materials and money went. Finally, we can deal with the corruption.
Su Wan doesn't understand politics, these are just her personal thoughts. Su Wan feels that Jiang Xuecheng must think more thoroughly and be more reliable than her in doing things.
…
The maglev train soon arrived at Area B mentioned by Jiang Xuecheng.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a devastated place.
Walls collapsed everywhere, houses fell down, and trees fell in various positions.
You can also see displaced victims, including adults and even children, but everyone's face looks grim, almost miserable.
Where is the scene where all the residents have been resettled as the executive officer said
Su Wan frowned as she watched. She stared at the panicked residents outside the maglev car, and her heart inexplicably ached.
And Jiang Xuecheng had already spoken first!
Jiang Xuecheng's brows were gloomy, his eyes were fixed coldly on the executive officer, and his words were loud and clear!
"Executive Officer Lin, the scene you described seems a bit far from the truth!"
Jiang Xuecheng no longer spoke in the calm tone he had before, but with a tone full of questions, which struck Executive Lin's ears, making people feel as if they were falling into a cold abyss, and they couldn't help but feel scared.
When Executive Officer Lin saw Jiang Xuecheng's gloomy face, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He raised his head timidly and pointed at the person walking outside the window.
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. They have really been resettled. It was just that there was a sudden rainstorm yesterday, and those people rushed back to rescue some things..."
After hearing Executive Officer Lin's explanation, Jiang Xuecheng frowned even deeper.
Indeed, almost everyone outside the maglev car was holding something in their hands.
But even at such a distance, Su Wan could tell that most of the things in those people's hands were food, and they felt like soaked compressed biscuits.
It's not something worth risking your life to save.
"You said earlier that the water level was high today and we were worried about flash floods. If another person dies, I will hold you accountable!"
Jiang Xuecheng said this and directly gave a death order.
"Just organize people to send them back. The supplies sent by the Divine Court are enough to compensate for their economic losses!"
Executive Officer Lin gritted his teeth and finally nodded in agreement.
Su Wan didn't want to listen to their conversation. She looked closely at the victims and suddenly noticed a characteristic.
Why do I feel like there are mostly women and children outside, or elderly people, but hardly any young and middle-aged men? !
Su Wan couldn't hold back the doubt in his mind and immediately raised it.
Executive Officer Lin glanced at her and answered nonchalantly.
"What else could it be? The economy of Planet Aquamarine is backward, and all the young and middle-aged men who can leave the country have left, leaving their wives and children behind."
This is really...
Su Wan frowned even deeper, thinking that if there were no young and middle-aged men, wouldn't it be more difficult to fight the disaster
After all, many things require physical strength.
Su Wan looked at the scene outside the maglev car and began to think about how she could help.
Su Wan had never faced such a thing before, and only now that she was investigating it on the spot did she feel so distressed.
Maybe she could try to be a temporary nurse or teacher to calm the children's emotions.
After all, there are too many children here, I hope they won’t leave any shadows.
