…
The headquarters building of Meng's Group was in a state of chaos from top to bottom.
Due to the large number of personnel, employees, and office space of the Meng Group, although the personnel present in these bureaus seemed to be numerous, the actual manpower was far from sufficient. Reinforcements from all parties continued to arrive and all departments of the Meng Group were under control.
"Sir, we have no objection to your performing your official duties and are willing to actively cooperate."
Meng Chentian said: "But you can't interfere with the normal business of Meng's Group. Meng's Group has hundreds of branches outside, and there are a lot of business transactions to be handled every day. If you do this, there will be rumors tomorrow that my Meng's Group is going to go bankrupt!"
"As long as it is a normal business transaction, please point it out, Master Meng. We will never interfere rashly. We have made our position clear from the beginning. We are only here for a routine investigation and have no intention of shutting down the Meng Group. The crime that Master Meng mentioned is too serious. How can we bear it? Master Meng, please be careful with your words."
…
Meng Tianyue saw that the other party was coming with great force and was determined to take action, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it. He immediately contacted his connections, hoping to settle the matter as quickly as possible. However, when his connections heard that the leader was actually Han Song from the Star Shield Headquarters, everyone backed away and no one dared to intervene.
The Star Shield Bureau intervened, and the person in charge of the execution was a powerful Cloud Transformation Master. What an obvious signal!
This is a big deal.
Even if one really has the ability to handle it, at this moment all one can do is shake his head.
The Star Shield Administration is the relevant department that reports directly to the emperor!
I really can't help you with this.
Of course, more often than not… I don’t dare to help!
At this point, it is too late to distance yourself from the Meng Group. Wouldn't it be stupid to jump in
And at this critical juncture, another major event came out of nowhere.
…
Where the Ning family's ancestral tomb collapsed, there was a large circle of iron fences surrounding the pit several hundred meters away. This was a barrier set up by the government. After all, this area was near the official road and had now become a high-risk area, and people needed to be prevented from falling in.
Starting from the early hours of the morning, there seemed to be a faint sound of flowing water. At first it seemed very far away, but it was approaching rapidly at a very fast speed.
As time went on, the groundwater level around this area showed a rapid downward trend; many small lakes disappeared in a very short period of time, and all the water seeped into the ground below.
The Ning family's artificial lake was not spared and also began to shrink...
About three hours later, with a muffled sound, the artificial lake dried up, and a large hole with a radius of three or four meters appeared at the bottom of the lake. It was so dark that no one knew where it led to.
As the water level of the artificial lake dropped, the water from the Wenshui River poured in as a supplement, but it obviously could not keep up with the speed of the falling water level. Later, it turned into the clear water of the Wenshui River, which continuously rushed directly into the black hole.
This situation is so strange that even the most daring experts would not dare to go down to explore.
The chain reaction caused by this is -
The water level of the Meng Group's dedicated artificial lake also began to drop... and in a very short time, it suffered the same fate as the Ning family's artificial lake.
The water of Wenshui River rushes in endlessly...
The underground black hole seemed to be an infinite space, accommodating so much water, and could still devour it tirelessly and crazily...
This situation continues...
Some people were surprised to find that the place where the Ning family's ancestral tomb was originally located had now turned into a complete lake! The water level was gradually rising...
The water ripples, and I don’t know how deep it is!
In contrast, the Ning family artificial lake and the Meng family artificial lake have also returned to their original state.
However, everyone knows that due to the replenishment of Wenshui River, the groundwater is saturated. In other words, these three places are connected to each other at an unknown depth underground!
And...if you think about it more deeply—this entire area is empty at the bottom!
Below, there is almost an ocean!
The buildings above are like those built on floating ice in the ocean. They are extremely unsafe and may overturn, collapse, and be destroyed at any time!
After realizing this, the people living in this area panicked and fled.
The Governor's Office had no choice but to issue a relocation order.
Basically it means evacuating all the residents and companies in this area.
After this series of actions, everyone was shocked to find that although this area covered a large area, it had always been controlled by the Meng Group and the Ning Family, so there were actually not many outsiders. If these two families were not counted, it was almost an empty no-man's land.
On the ground, almost all the buildings belong to these two families.
Only two or three small residential communities located on the edge are not within the sphere of influence of the two parties.
The rest are mostly staff quarters, staff dormitories, or welfare buildings for the two companies, storage bases, amusement parks, etc.
And on the day the migration order was officially issued.
Someone caught a glimpse of it and suddenly cried out in surprise—
"I... am I seeing things? Why does the headquarters building of the Meng Group seem to be tilted a little?"
More and more people noticed this, and when they looked at it together, they were all shocked, their faces turned pale, and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.
“It’s really tilted…”
"Now it's tilted at least 15 degrees compared to its original straight position. What's going on?!"
"What's going on? Is it going to collapse?"
"Going to fall? Oh my god!"
“Run!”
After a group of experts arrived, after investigation, measurement, calculation, and comparison with the previous existing conditions... they came to a definite conclusion: the headquarters building of Meng's Group, due to the inexplicable collapse of the underground area... the building did show signs of tilting, and the trend was getting worse!
In a few days at most, it will collapse completely!
The direction of collapse...
The experts were surprised to find that the direction in which the Meng Group’s headquarters building was about to collapse was exactly the direction in which the relocation had just been arranged, exactly!
If it falls down rashly, it will just connect with the front line of this area.
Well, this means that most of the buildings will collapse into the artificial lake of Meng Group!
There was no need to say anything now, and no need for the government to mobilize. All the people who were still in the area evacuated at great speed.
They didn’t even mention the conditions—some people had previously asked for street-side housing, stores, and so on;
Now... one is running faster than the other.
Don't run? I won't rush you. Just wait until you turn into a meat pie.
As for the employees of the Meng Group's headquarters building and the personnel from relevant departments who were working inside, they were also evacuated quickly.
In just one short day, this building, once the number one building in Phoenix, became an empty and dangerous building!
…
Also on this day.
The thing that Fang Yinuo feared and worried about the most happened.
The messenger sent a message through the sect's exclusive contact method: Since you are here, why don't you return to the team
Fang Yinuo felt like crying but had no tears.
How can you be so cowardly
Completely exposed!
The wishful thinking that had been originally finalized has now failed to materialize at all and has completely collapsed.
He didn't even have time to contact the people from his own Tanlang Sect before he was targeted by the messenger!
"It's killing me, it's killing me..."
Fang Yinuo was about to collapse.
Mo Xuanyi was wearing very ordinary clothes, his face was dirty, he sat aside with his head down, just thinking in his mind.
"How can I go find Master Zuo? My uncle has been watching me too closely these past two days! How can I find an excuse to go out..."
…
No.2 Middle School.
He Yuanyue, who has not been seen for more than ten days, is calling Sister Lan over.
However, after not seeing him for a few days, He Yuanyue looked obviously much older.
Even his eyes seemed a little cloudy.
But at this moment, her gaze was extremely sharp.
"A few days ago, the Ning family's ancestral tomb collapsed... Now, the Meng Group is also going to collapse? Sister Lan, remember to call Zuo Xiaoduo to go to Fenghuitou to check the situation at night. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. It is best to be cautious in everything, especially at the last moment."
"I see."
He Yuanyue's spirit was more excited than ever at this moment, with a light flashing in her eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken... Is this... going to fly?"
…
Zuo Xiaoduo has devoted all his energy in the past two days to consolidating his current realm, solidifying his foundation, strengthening his mind, familiarizing himself with his power, and practicing his newly acquired swordsmanship...
I'm so busy that I'm having a lot of fun.
The only unexpected change was that Wanlixiu received news that the birthday party would be tomorrow night.
In fact, this is quite puzzling to Zuo Xiaoduo.
The changes in the Meng and Ning families were expected by Zuo Xiaoduo, and everything was under control.
But for others, these were unimaginable huge changes. So many changes happened in Phoenix within a few days. As the governor of Phoenix, Old Man Wan must have been busy and exhausted. How could he have the mood to hold a birthday party for his daughter
Based on this understanding, Zuo Xiaoduo had already made plans to cancel Wan Lixiu's birthday party.
It’s a pity that many of the originally planned things were cancelled, but the birthday party itself was not cancelled!
The planned large banquet became an ordinary small banquet, allowing my daughter and her group to have fun on their own, in addition to the female members of the family and relatives who had arrived a few days in advance.
As for outsiders, there was not a single one invited. Even those invitations that had already been sent out were all cancelled.
Now in Phoenix, all the trees are silently waiting for the rain.
What everyone is paying more attention to, or waiting for, is the moment when the headquarters building of Meng Group, which is tilting more and more every moment, collapses!
