Inside the Inner City General Building.
Ye Hua watched as several safety officers rushed anxiously toward the top floor, but he was still confused about what had happened.
He quickly went up and stopped a security guard, asking urgently, "What happened? Has there been another riot in the inner city? Have the rioters from the outer city stormed in?"
The safety officer, panting, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "Mr. Ye, something terrible has happened! A serious explosion has occurred below the rift valley, and black mist is already surging towards our Zone 5. We must inform General Manager Liu about this now!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Hua's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, "What? You said there was an explosion in the rift valley, and the black mist is surging in our direction? How is that possible?"
"It's true! The black mist has broken through the defenses and is now surging towards us!"
"Damn it, what's going on? Who made that noise?"
The security guard shook his head: "Mr. Ye, we are still investigating this matter. I'll go upstairs and tell General Manager Liu about it first!"
Ye Hua reluctantly let go of his hand, but his expression became quite serious.
"Could it be Lu Yuan and his group who did this? But that's impossible. Although they are our enemies, their actions are still within the rules. It must be that guy Zhao Tinghai who did it!"
Ye Hua looked around in a panic, then thought for a while before deciding to call Zhao Tinghai to ask about the situation. However, after thinking it over, he canceled the call and called his family instead.
"Quickly take our child and hide in the underground safe room. Don't bring anything with you. Go now!"
However, Ye Hua's wife wanted to ask more questions, but saw that the phone had been hung up. After thinking for a while, she quickly shouted towards the living room, "Stop playing! Quickly tell your grandparents that we need to go hide in the basement!"
In Liu Tianhu's office, after the safety officers explained the whole story, a serious expression appeared on Liu Tianhu's face.
"Is this information reliable? Have you told anyone else?"
The safety officers exchanged glances and then shook their heads.
"We just received this news and haven't told anyone else yet. Oh, by the way, Mr. Ye just asked about it, and I told him!"
Liu Tianhu nodded, pondered for a moment, and then ordered, "This matter should not be publicized for now. Under no circumstances should it be revealed. Do you understand what I mean?"
Several safety officers immediately showed a hint of surprise on their faces. Did Liu Tianhu not intend to rescue the others?
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the safety officers, Liu Tianhu was not only furious, but he also slammed his fist on the table: "Damn it, did you hear me? What are you all standing there for! You must keep this a secret, or I'll skin anyone who dares to tell anyone!"
The safety officers shrank back in fear at Liu Tianhu's words.
"Understood, Mr. Liu, we definitely won't tell anyone!"
Liu Tianhu nodded in satisfaction, then waved for the others to leave. He then went to his bedroom, locked the door, and dialed the first number.
"Quickly take some men and block the area in the basement. Make sure they don't come out. Wait for my message, understand? Also, use this time to go to the bank and withdraw all the money! Take as much as you can!"
After hanging up, he dialed the second number.
"Notify everyone in our family to immediately hide in the basement, close the doors and windows, and turn on the oxygen concentrator!"
The other party was somewhat confused by the sudden phone call and subconsciously asked, "Hu, what happened? Why did you go to the basement for no reason?"
"Stop asking questions. Just go down there when I tell you to. Also, call all our family members who are doing business outside. Get to work now. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Okay, Tiger, I'll do it right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Tianhu's face turned cold. He then racked his brains trying to figure out which family members he hadn't notified. Finally, he remembered that he hadn't notified his mistresses yet.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside the room, followed by a loud knocking on the door. Liu Tianhu was momentarily flustered, but quickly regained his composure, stepped forward, and opened the door.
Standing outside the door were core members of some of the wealthiest groups in the inner city.
"Mr. Liu, what exactly happened? I see chaos in the outer city!"
"Yes, Mr. Liu, are you hiding something from us? We asked several of them, but none of them would say anything!"
"Liu Tianhu, what are you up to with all this sneaking around? We're all in this together! We have dirt on you, so you'd better think this through!"
"..."
A group of people were chattering away, and some even started threatening Liu Tianhu.
Liu Tianhu's personality is like that of an ancient tyrannical emperor. He believes that power is only safe when it is in his own hands. Although he now controls a puppet regime, he still has to respect the orders of these wealthy groups.
These wealthy groups hold at least half the power in the entire inner city, making Liu Tianhu feel somewhat powerless.
