Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, the mob felt as if they had been granted a pardon and immediately fled in panic, abandoning their wives and children.

Grain distribution resumed at the site.

Watching the mob flee in disarray, Lin Lele shook her head with disdain.

Lin Lele glanced at Qian Huayue, who was trembling on the ground in fear, and asked Chen Yu, "Sir, what should we do with this old witch?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu glared at Lin Lele and reprimanded her, "Nonsense! How can you address Secretary Qian like that?"

"She's a witch, all mysterious and cryptic," Lin Lele said, pursing her lips.

Chen Yu sighed and said to Qian Huayue with a helpless expression, "Secretary Qian, that's just how my secretary is. She's straightforward and can't hold her tongue. She has no emotional intelligence at all. Don't take it too seriously."

"No...it's okay." Although Qian Huayue was terrified, she still managed to force a smile and respond to Chen Yu.

She didn't feel relieved by Chen Yu's current politeness; on the contrary, she became even more wary of him.

She'd seen far too many smiling tigers in this industry; those who seemed polite on the surface were often the most cunning. If she didn't even have that much shrewdness, how could she have become the secretary?

"Hehe, Secretary Qian, don't be nervous," Chen Yu said with a smile, trying to comfort him. "Isn't everything you've done for the benefit of the masses? If I, Chen Yu, were to make things difficult for you just because of differing political views, wouldn't that make me seem petty?"

"Yes, yes, no, no, I absolutely did not think that." Qian Huayue nodded first, then shook her head repeatedly.

"Haha~! Secretary Qian, you're really funny." Chen Yu laughed heartily.

Then, his expression turned serious, and he said to Qian Huayue, "Secretary Qian, actually, I really have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing this, Qian Huayue's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Chen Yu was setting a trap for her.

But given the current situation, what can she do even if she knows that Chen Yu is planning to frame her?

So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and force a smile as she said to Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen, please feel free to ask me anything. I will do my best to support your work!"

"Good, good, good." Chen Yu said "good" three times in a row, then turned to Lin Lele and said, "Lele, did you see that? Our Secretary Qian's awareness is amazing!"

"Tch!" Lin Lele scoffed, thinking to herself, "You've got a gun practically pointed at her head, how could she not be sensible?"

"You little brat!" Chen Yu said sternly, his face dark with annoyance.

Then he turned to Qian Huayue and smiled again: "Secretary Qian, my little secretary isn't very bright, we don't need to pay her any attention."

Qian Huayue glanced at the gun barrel that was intentionally or unintentionally waving in front of her head, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand, I understand, President Chen, please just say what you have to say. I will gladly go through fire and water for you."

“Since that’s the case, Secretary Qian, I won’t beat around the bush with you.” Chen Yu said seriously, “You saw that group of rioters just now, right? Sigh~, it really hurt me to drive them away! But these people are too impulsive. If they are allowed to stay here, they will inevitably become a disaster in the future and harm innocent people.”

"Although I drove them away, I think that given their character, it would be difficult for them to change themselves. I'm afraid that one day they will come back and wreak havoc on people in other places."

"You mean...?" Qian Huayue asked cautiously.

“That’s right, only the organization can save them, only the organization can guide them onto the right path! I believe that under Secretary Qian’s earnest guidance, they will definitely see the error of their ways!” Chen Yu said with a firm expression.

Upon hearing this, Qian Huayue's face turned deathly pale. She immediately understood what Chen Yu meant: this bastard was trying to get rid of her!

With such extreme cold and natural disasters, let alone a woman in her fifties approaching old age, even a young man in his twenties or thirties would probably find it difficult to survive outside.

Chen Yu's actions were tantamount to sending her to her death!

Qian Huayue's heart sank to the bottom, but she still managed to maintain a smile and said to Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen, they've already left. I'm powerless to help them!"

Although she already had the answer in her heart, Qian Huayue still wanted to confirm it again, hoping to get a different answer from Chen Yu.

Chen Yu gently shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips, a smile that, to Qian Huayue, was as chilling as ice. “Secretary Qian, you are mistaken. Although these rioters have temporarily left, it doesn’t mean we have abandoned them. And you, as the leader of the community, have both the responsibility and the ability to redeem them.”

"Now, let's hurry and catch up with them before they go too far. If we wait too long, it will be even harder for us to find them."

Upon hearing this, Qian Huayue's face paled even more. She looked up at Chen Yu, her eyes flashing with complex emotions—resentment, despair, and anger. She understood that Chen Yu would never let her go. Now, even if she begged for mercy, Chen Yu would not show her the slightest pity.

So she decided to go all out and angrily shouted, "Chen Yu, who do you think you are? What gives you the right to order me around? Just because you have a gun doesn't mean you're invincible! If you've got the guts, then kill me!"

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. This old woman had become so brave in this desperate situation.

Seeing Chen Yu's reaction, Qian Huayue once again assumed that Chen Yu was intimidated by her domineering aura. Emboldened, she hardened her face and sternly said to Chen Yu, "Chen Yu, don't forget, I represent the organization! In this world, no one, no group, can stand against the organization. If you're not afraid of being purged later, come on! Kill me!"
