After listening to Li Hongling's account of Guangping City, Chen Yu was stunned for a long time.
Bad people are not scary, nor are perverts. But the most chilling thing is a cult that does heinous things but considers itself righteous, even taking it as its belief, and attempts to purify the world and rise above others.
He slowly stood up, his gaze fixed firmly on the distance, and said in a deep voice, "It seems there are still some unfinished matters to attend to before we leave."
Upon hearing this, Li Hongling's expression changed slightly. She said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Chen, those people are very powerful and are intricately hidden in every corner of Guangping City. There is really no need for you to fight them head-on. Just leave and let them fend for themselves."
Chen Yu gently shook his head, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination: "Li Hongling, we can't do this. Running away is not the solution. Moreover, if these cult organizations are not eliminated, not only will Guangping City be doomed, but their evil deeds will spread like a plague to other places, harming more innocent people."
Li Hongling smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "I know, but these people are just too crazy. If you want to completely eliminate them, your people will probably suffer many casualties as well. I..."
Chen Yu waved his hand, interrupting Li Hongling: "You're overthinking it. Our 'Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia' is much stronger than you imagine. A true man has principles of what he should and shouldn't do. If we turn a blind eye to evil, that's condoning evil. How are we any different from those members of cult organizations?"
His words were resounding and powerful, each syllable filled with strength and determination, which moved Li Hongling deeply.
She looked at Chen Yu, her eyes shining with admiration and gratitude, as if at that moment, Chen Yu had become a light in her heart, illuminating the path ahead.
In fact, she hated those cult members even more than Chen Yu, and she was always thinking about eliminating them.
When the night was still and quiet, the cruel acts of those cultists haunted her like a nightmare, preventing her from sleeping peacefully.
She had witnessed firsthand how they committed evil in the name of holiness, how they twisted humanity, and how they dragged innocent people into endless darkness.
However, Chen Yu and his team were, after all, outsiders, and the affairs of Guangping City were none of their concern. She did not want to put Chen Yu's team in unnecessary danger because of her own selfish reasons.
Seeing Chen Yu's resolute gaze, what could Li Hongling say at this moment? She could only bury her deep gratitude in her heart.
Her eyes were slightly red, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily. Although Li Hongling tried her best to hold them back, a few warm tears still fell onto her cheeks.
This was in an extremely cold environment of minus 70 degrees Celsius. Tears quickly condensed into tiny ice crystals in the cold air, dotting Li Hongling's cheeks like rare frost flowers in winter.
Feeling the stinging sensation from the ice crystals on her face, Li Hongling instinctively wiped them with her hand.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that she no longer had arms.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu quickly stepped forward and brushed the frost off her cheeks.
To avoid hurting Li Hongling's self-esteem, Chen Yu's movements were exceptionally gentle, as if he were handling an extremely precious work of art.
His eyes were full of tenderness and understanding, without the slightest contempt or pity, only genuine care and respect.
Just then, the door was kicked open with a bang.
At the same time, Lin Lele's voice rang out: "Sir, our main force has arrived... uh... sorry to interrupt, please continue."
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Lele suddenly stopped and quickly left the house.
"Come back!" Chen Yu shouted.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lele paused, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and carefully stepped back into the house.
"Sir, I know I've disturbed your enjoyment, but I've already apologized. What more do you want from me?" Lin Lele said, pouting.
"You know nothing!" Chen Yu said irritably.
"Secretary Lin, you've misunderstood. My hands are not functioning properly, and Mr. Chen was just wiping the frost off my face," Li Hongling quickly explained.
"Oh, really?" Lin Lele looked at Chen Yu with a teasing expression.
Seeing Lin Lele's smug expression, Chen Yu couldn't help but kick her in the butt again, saying irritably, "Get to the point!"
Lin Lele looked aggrieved, rubbed her bottom, and continued, "Our main force has arrived and is now outside the prison."
"Understood." Chen Yu nodded.
He then walked out of the prison, and Lin Lele and Li Hongling quickly followed.
Outside the prison, a biting wind howled across the square, but the soldiers of the "Anti-Cold Relief Militia" stood in high spirits. Each soldier stood in neat rows before the vehicles, clad in heavy winter gear, their eyes revealing determination and fearlessness. Upon seeing Chen Yu emerge, the soldiers straightened their backs and shouted in unison, "General!"
Chen Yu returned the greeting with a firm gaze and a brief, powerful reply: "Hello, comrades! You've all worked hard!" His voice echoed in the cold wind, full of strength and encouragement.
He looked at Li Zheng and said in a deep voice, "Immediately organize personnel to conduct a comprehensive security inspection of the prison to ensure the safety of the children. At the same time, arrange for a medical team to treat the wounded."
"Yes, General!" Li Zheng responded and quickly mobilized his troops, executing all orders in an orderly manner.
Then, Chen Yu looked at Li Hongling and said, "This is your territory. I'll have to trouble you to assist Vice Minister Li and the others with their work."
Li Hongling was still in shock at the strength of Chen Yu's team when she heard Chen Yu's words. She immediately came to her senses and nodded firmly.
Chen Yu continued to issue orders: "Company Commander Wan, you have one day to find out the situation in Guangping City."
"Yes, sir!" Wan Chengwu, the reconnaissance company commander, replied, his eyes gleaming with determination and resolve. "Your subordinate will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Chen Yu nodded slightly. He ordered Wan Chengwu to lead men to investigate the situation. On the one hand, they needed to find out the distribution of people in Guangping City, and on the other hand, they also needed to verify the truth of what Li Hongling said.
Last time, they fell for those "refugees'" trick and rashly attacked the prison, resulting in such a huge embarrassment.
This time, Chen Yu would naturally not be so careless.
Seeing that Wan Chengwu had led the reconnaissance company away, Chen Yu glanced at the remaining soldiers and said in a deep voice, "The rest of you, set up camp where you are!"
The group accepted the order and quickly got to work. They skillfully set up tents, dug snow pits, and erected windbreaks to ensure a relatively warm resting environment even in the extremely cold weather.
