Ye Yunyi quickly helped Secretary Cai up and said, "You're too kind, Secretary Cai."
Wang Zixiang rushed in, his first thought being to check if Ye Yunyi was injured. When he saw the blood on Ye Yunyi's arm, he gasped and shouted, "Quick, get the first-aid kit!"
In the darkness, although Ye Yunyi had the advantage in hearing and vision, her close combat ability was still far inferior to Zhao Yong's, so she inevitably got injured.
"It's alright, the injury isn't serious," Ye Yunyi reassured her.
The first-aid kit was quickly brought over, and Wang Zixiang bandaged Ye Yunyi's wounds, while Secretary Cai and his assistant Chen Li handled the rest.
Soon, Captain Guo and Zhao Yong arrived, escorting two people: one was a newcomer who had come with Jiang Xiong, and the other was a veteran who had reportedly been given an important position.
Today's assassination attempt appears to have been premeditated.
The interrogation here wasn't too difficult because Ye Yunyi and her team had also contributed a lot. Captain Guo attributed the success of capturing them to Ye Yunyi's team, saying that it was thanks to Wang Weifeng's information and Zhao Yong's assistance that they were able to apprehend the two men. Needless to say, Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang personally rescued Secretary Cai.
Of course, the interrogation wouldn't yield results so quickly, but Ye Yunyi and her group did manage to gain favor with Secretary Cai.
After the others left, leaving only Ye Yunyi and her group of five, Secretary Cai asked, "What kind of thanks do you want?"
After no one looked at each other, Ye Yunyi spoke first.
“Secretary Cai, we actually came from City C. My brother told us that you are a good person, so we came here to ask for your help.” Ye Yunyi said, pointing to Wang Zichao.
“Secretary Cai, I’ve always lived in Y City. Your measures have been excellent and have protected many people. I wouldn’t have left if it weren’t for my parents,” Wang Zichao quickly said. “We encountered a big problem in C City, so we thought of you.”
"At the beginning of the epidemic, Zhang Sheng of City C colluded with the powerful and wealthy to control all resources such as weapons and food. Later, under the guise of establishing a relief center, he tricked some people into entering and becoming slaves. Once he had enough so-called slaves, he stopped taking in anyone else and left them to fend for themselves."
"Afterwards, they colluded with local bullies and thugs to control nearby villages and towns, forcing them to work and providing them with supplies, completely disregarding their lives."
As he spoke, Wang Zixiang handed over a cell phone containing videos and photos of what Ye Yunyi and the others had said, as evidence.
“This is my hometown, our village. This is what it looked like when we went back. Later, we organized everyone to rescue them. Because of this, we angered the people at the rescue center and were forced to become homeless.”
Wang Zixiang continued speaking while scrolling through photos and videos.
“It wasn’t just our village; all villages experienced this kind of enslavement. They even massacred entire villages to suppress the resistance.”
As he spoke, Wang Zixiang pulled up photos and videos of the massacre in Huangshui Village and the aftermath of it.
“Secretary Cai, I suspect they are conducting a biological experiment. In order to wipe out our village, they released a biological zombie.”
Zhao Yong said.
“Yes,” Wang Weifeng and Wang Zichao both agreed. “We saw it with our own eyes. It took several people working together to subdue him.”
"Do you have any photos?" Secretary Cai asked. He was already angry when he saw those scenes, but hearing this felt like his bottom line had been crossed.
“Yes.” Wang Zixiang flipped to the photo of number 3, which was a screenshot from a video, showing number 3 chasing after Zhao Yong.
"Hiss..." Everyone who saw the photo gasped.
"This is outrageous!!" Secretary Cai slammed his fist on the table in anger.
When the central government contacted the provinces, City C repeatedly stated that they had suffered severe losses, that the signal could not be maintained, and that communication was interrupted from time to time.
So that's what they were doing, doing things that no one else could do.
“Secretary Cai, we’ve come here at great risk because we want you to convey this information to the Central Committee and save us,” Ye Yunyi said earnestly.
"Don't worry, we will report this to the central government," Secretary Cai said gently.
However, he did not say that he would contact them immediately. Perhaps they also had doubts. If they reported such a big matter to the central government based solely on Ye Yunyi and their side of the story, and if there were any mistakes, the responsibility they would bear would be enormous.
It seems we need to add some more chips.
"Secretary Cai, could we contact the Central Committee now? Besides this, we have other matters concerning all of humanity that we need to report?" Ye Yunyi changed her previous humble attitude and now adopted a transactional one.
"Oh?" Secretary Cai seemed intrigued.
"An immune person." Ye Yunyi didn't hide anything and said it directly.
"Where is it?" Secretary Cai's assistant, Chen Li, asked anxiously.
"We can't say for now. To ensure her safety, we must contact the central government and tell them," Ye Yunyi said sincerely.
“Alright, this is a big matter, and we can’t delay. Chen Li, go and make the preparations. We’ll contact the Central Committee now,” Secretary Cai decided.
The equipment in the communications room was very complex, and no one except Wang Zixiang could understand it.
Ye Yunyi gave Wang Zixiang a wink, hoping he could figure it out and copy it so he could directly contact the central government.
Wang Zixiang nodded to indicate that he understood.
They quickly connected with the central government. Secretary Cai explained his purpose, and the operator on the other end asked him to wait a moment. Although her tone was steady, her hurried footsteps betrayed her excitement.
Soon, a calm male voice came from the other end, "Secretary Cai, what did you say?"
Secretary Cai quickly repeated the key points.
A group of people from City C reacted as follows:
1. There are immune individuals in City C.
2. The leaders of City C want to act like local tyrants, concealing the truth and enslaving the people, while conducting biochemical research.
3. They requested that the central government save them.
He felt the matter was of great importance and feared for the safety of those who had been vaccinated, so he decided to err on the side of caution and promptly reported it.
Everyone thought Secretary Cai was a clever man; his summary was concise and to the point, yet he didn't seem to take any responsibility.
He concluded by saying that this group of people is still here.
So Ye Yunyi and the others were called in for a phone call. Ye Yunyi was not afraid and accurately, concisely and vividly described what Zhang Sheng had done, expressing that the immune people were well protected and that she hoped to receive rescue and liberation from the central government as soon as possible.
The person on the other end of the call was Minister Lin, who is in charge of epidemic prevention and control and medical care. He promised to send someone to pick up the immunized individuals as soon as possible.
Ye Yunyi, however, was not intimidated. She stated that they would only hand over the immune individuals if C City was saved. But to prove that the immune individuals were real, they brought a vial of medicine, which they would give to Secretary Cai.
After the meeting, Secretary Cai treated them well. Ye Yunyi said she was worried about her family and would return home the next day at dawn.
Secretary Cai offered to send people to protect them, but they refused. Who knows if it's protection or surveillance?
Before leaving, Ye Yunyi handed a vial of her blood to Secretary Cai. Secretary Cai was overjoyed and instructed someone to keep it safe. He also asked Captain Guo to escort them ashore.
