However, the elder remained calm and composed, and his expression seemed to indicate that he was confident.
This calmness makes people feel that he has a very clear grasp of the current situation.
"Has it caused chaos or even casualties?"
The old man in a neat Zhongshan suit smiled and asked gently.
"Are you taking action only after the situation gets out of control?" Jiang Meng stared at him, his eyes filled with disappointment and dissatisfaction. "Is preparing for a rainy day just empty talk???"
"Since there have been no serious incidents of violence so far, this is still within the purview of the police department and not the military."
The old man said firmly, "I suggest you discuss a solution with Director Liu of the Public Security Bureau."
After hearing this, Jiang Meng's heart was filled with anger, and her face turned red. "What kind of statement is that!" She was extremely angry for a moment and couldn't find the right words to refute.
"According to the rules," the old man said sincerely and firmly. "Regular military intervention is only possible when criminals pose a direct threat to the lives and property of the people. I understand your anxiety. Please be patient for a moment. Perhaps it won't be too late to make a decision after the other party shows a flaw."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Meng was extremely angry and almost couldn't help but want to slap this seemingly calm but unreasonable man... It was simply nonsense!
He had been speaking with such force just moments before, but now he looked terrified. He quickly stepped forward to answer the phone and hurriedly explained, "Mobilizing more than ten soldiers and using heavy equipment requires formal approval. Even if there truly is an external threat entering the territory, military action can only be taken after the situation deteriorates. Therefore... it's a real dilemma."
"What are you talking about? What's the point of your existence?"
On the other end of the line, Chu Jinghong was furious. The old man in the traditional Zhongshan suit lowered his head even lower, not even daring to meet the other person's eyes. His behavior was even more humble than when he faced Jiang Meng before.
"Feel sorry"
“Stop talking!!”
A deafening roar came from the other side, "Am I left to solve this problem on my own?!"
The old man suddenly felt an indescribable anxiety and struggle in his heart. He knew very well that his words had completely infuriated the other party, but he also knew Chu Jinghong's ability.
If this person goes all out, it will be enough to shake the entire world. Even the so-called highest-security prison cannot do anything about him, let alone the outside world.
As long as he is determined to do something, even a modern army will find it difficult to stop him. This is not self-righteousness, but a manifestation of his confidence.
"No, that's not the case. Please allow me to elaborate..."
Just as the old man was about to explain again, Jiang Meng, standing beside him, snatched the phone away. "According to your logic, since this is your personal matter, it should naturally be handled by you personally. Military intervention is unnecessary."
Jiang Meng said calmly but firmly after taking the call.
Hearing this, Chu Jinghong's tone became even colder and more resolute: "Very good! If you really want to stand by and watch, you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"
Then there was a dull loud noise, and a "bang" broke the brief silence - it was obvious that he accidentally dropped the device in his hand due to extreme shock, which not only broke the object in his hand, but also seemed to shatter his last bit of peace of mind.
After all, what can be changed by relying solely on the power of the Nanjing Military Region to fight against such a famous and powerful person?
At this moment, the future of the entire southwest region seems to depend entirely on the emotional fluctuations of Chu Jinghong.
"Please calm down, sir. We promise not to interfere in this matter anymore. We just hope that you will show mercy and not implicate innocent people." Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down the old man's temples, and he even breathed cautiously.
It was not until the other party hung up the phone for a long time that the old man sat down on the ground as if he had just woken up from a dream, and kept thinking that if he had mobilized troops for support earlier, there might still be a glimmer of hope to avoid the disaster; but now if he let this person act on his own, the whole city might face an unpredictable catastrophe.
Jiang Meng's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He stared at the elder in front of him who was trembling with panic. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile: "It was his own choice not to help. Why are you so panicked?"
After that, a hint of provocation flashed in her eyes, "I don't know if I should say it."
The old man was startled when he heard this, and quickly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He took a deep breath, and although his eyes were full of vigilance, he still replied firmly: "Miss Jiang, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"If this matter is handled by him alone, if it can be properly resolved, the elder will not only gain unprecedented status and wealth; otherwise, it may cause unrest or even disastrous consequences."
Jiang Meng paused deliberately, his gaze penetrating the air around him, making the other party feel a strong sense of oppression. "All responsibilities will be borne by you, Your Excellency."
Hearing such a harsh request, the old man's face turned horrible, and he remained speechless, as if an invisible hand had clamped down on his throat. "How is this possible... How can all of this be placed on me alone?" His voice trembled, filled with resentment and fear.
"If we had decisively sent troops to support and solved the problem as quickly as possible, we wouldn't be having the troubles we have today." Jiang Meng's words were calm, but they were like ice spikes piercing deep into people's hearts, making people shiver involuntarily.
The atmosphere in the room reached a suffocating state, with only the sound of their heartbeats clearly audible in the dead silence. Finally, under the oppressive pressure, the old man finally couldn't bear it anymore. He almost staggered to his feet and hurriedly fled to the door, disappearing without a trace without even looking back.
