Since cleaning up the battlefield would inevitably require the use of his extradimensional space, Chen Yu did not bring Lin Lele with him when he entered the industrial park this time.
They were left in the fighter jet, ready to be deployed at any time.
To prevent any stragglers from launching a sneak attack, Chen Yu drove his infantry fighting vehicle slowly into the industrial park. The surrounding area was filled with ruins and flames that had not yet been completely extinguished, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of burning and gunpowder.
The infantry fighting vehicle is equipped with advanced reconnaissance equipment and firepower systems, enabling Chen Yu to maintain a high level of vigilance while on the move and to respond to emergencies at any time.
He carefully searched for enemy traces using vehicle-mounted radar and infrared detectors to ensure his operation was foolproof.
Suddenly, a group of red dots appeared on the detection screen.
Chen Yu immediately activated the weapon systems on the tank and aimed them at the enemy.
However, he did not open fire immediately, but waited for the other party to show up. He wanted to find a few survivors to find out the situation.
Soon, a group of people struggled to climb out of a snow pit.
"Brother! Don't fire! We're not with Yu Gang and his gang!"
A middle-aged man wearing glasses, who was leading the group, raised his hands and shouted loudly. Behind him, a group of people were equally disheveled.
"Who are you people?" Chen Yu asked coldly through the loudspeaker.
"I am Zhao Jiangying, the mayor of Baqing City. They are all my colleagues and engineers from the military factory," the man introduced himself.
"Oh? So you are the local officials of Baqing City?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.
He then said coldly, "A bunch of utterly depraved bastards! Today, on behalf of the organization and the people, I will execute you on the spot!"
"Wait a minute! Young man, it's a misunderstanding!" Zhao Jiangying quickly said.
"Misunderstanding? You took advantage of the natural disaster to wreak havoc on the region and illegally manufacture weapons, is that a misunderstanding? You oppressed the people and slaughtered innocent civilians, is that also a misunderstanding?" Chen Yu questioned coldly.
“This was all Yu Gang’s doing, it has nothing to do with us,” Zhao Jiangying said.
"None of your business? If it's none of your business, why are you here?" Chen Yu sneered.
“Yu Gang plotted a rebellion. He arrested us to legitimize his so-called ‘Baqing City Disaster Relief Command’ and make it a tool for his personal dictatorship. We, including myself, were all coerced by him. He first used our organization’s name to recruit a group of petty thugs, then led people to forcibly occupy a military factory to manufacture weapons in order to consolidate his power. We have been secretly looking for an opportunity to resist,” Zhao Jiangying explained urgently.
Chen Yu frowned, staring intently at the other person, trying to read the truth from their expressions.
Information on the battlefield is often hard to distinguish between true and false, but judging from the other party's tone, it seems that the other party is not lying.
However, Chen Yu also knew that every politician had a great talent for performing arts, and that the person who could sit in the position of mayor of Baqing City was certainly not a simple character.
He must proceed with caution to avoid falling into a trap.
“Mayor Zhao, what you say sounds reasonable, but I can’t fully believe it based on just your word.” Chen Yu’s voice was still cold, but with a hint of consideration. “I need evidence, concrete evidence that you were coerced and that you caused trouble in the area and illegally manufactured weapons.”
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zhao Jiangying's eyes. He quickly ordered the people behind him, "Go and bring Yu Gang out!"
Chen Yu frowned upon seeing this. Yu Gang was still alive?
This surprised him somewhat.
However, this is not hard to understand. If Zhao Jiangying and others were able to survive the artillery fire, it is not surprising that Yu Gang was able to dodge it.
A short while later, with Chen Yu's permission, several engineers emerged from the crowd and escorted a ragged, dejected man, who was none other than Yu Gang.
Years ago, the phrase "My dad is Yu Gang" went viral, and Chen Yu still has some impression of this highly controversial political figure.
At this moment, Yu Gang was bound hand and foot, and had clearly lost his former arrogance.
"Why? Why are you going against me?" Yu Gang roared at Chen Yu.
“Yu Gang, you have wreaked havoc on this area and committed heinous crimes. As the commander of the ‘Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps,’ I naturally have the responsibility and obligation to bring you to justice.” Chen Yu sneered, “You have taken advantage of natural disasters to seek personal gain, oppress the people, and create chaos. Do you think you can get away with all of this? Let me tell you, justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.”
"A militia group for disaster relief and cold-weather combat?" Yu Gang frowned, clearly having never heard of such an organization.
Zhao Jiangying and the others also looked confused.
“Even if you arrested Yu Gang, it doesn’t mean you’re innocent, does it?” Chen Yu’s voice rang out again, addressing Zhao Jiangying and the others.
Everyone looked bitter upon hearing this. Indeed, simply arresting Yu Qiang was not enough to prove that they had nothing to do with all of this. But what other evidence could they possibly produce?
After all, they were in a den of thieves, and now all of Yu Qiang's men were dead. Did they expect Yu Gang to prove their innocence?
"I did it all! It has nothing to do with Mayor Zhao and his people! Yes! They were coerced by me. I arrested their wives, children, and parents, and they had no choice but to submit to me!" Yu Gang shouted at the opportune moment.
"Shut up, Yu Gang, you bastard!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiangying suddenly kicked Yu Gang, knocking him over.
Yu Gang did it on purpose; he stole his lines.
This instantly made what was originally a somewhat convincing statement seem suspicious.
"Young man, you must not believe Yu Gang. Everything I said is true!" Zhao Jiangying shouted to Chen Yu.
