Chapter 69: The President has neglected his duties
"."
Jiang Shu was silent, not knowing how to comfort her crying best friend for a moment.
"Jiang Jiang, I'm sorry for disturbing your rest so late at night. I just... just wanted to talk to you the first time."
The sound of Shen Nian's sobbing penetrated her chest little by little. Jiang Shu had never seen her cry so sadly. She felt like needles were stabbing her heart.
"It's okay, I just found the necklace. Your brother may not be in trouble. I will contact Gu Qingpei now and ask him to go."
"Master Junior has already gone. He told me to wait at home. Jiang Jiang, I'm really scared."
"Don't be afraid, I'm with you, don't cry, maybe when you wake up, your brother will be back. As soon as you open your mouth, you say, stupid sister, you only know how to cry!"
"Pfft, Jiang Jiang, you seem to have learned it. He always likes to scold me like this. It's really too much, don't you think?"
"Yes, that's too much. When he comes back, I'll help you scold him."
"."
After comforting her best friend for a while, Jiang Shu hung up the phone only when the phone became hot and she heard the girl's soft snoring.
She had no mood to rest at this moment, so she logged into her computer and started searching for news about Dongjiao on the Internet.
"The number of missing persons is currently unknown. Please do not go out at night and try not to travel alone."
There is very little information about Dongjiao through normal channels, only that someone is missing.
Jiang Shu began to search various social channels and finally found many posts posted online asking for help.
"It's really scary. The red fog in the eastern suburbs is almost spreading to my doorstep. The law enforcement team asked us to move out first without any compensation. If we didn't agree, they said we would die. It's really chilling."
"Can anyone see my post? My child is missing near the eastern suburbs. The law enforcement team has been telling me to wait. It's been over a month and there's still no news. What on earth is the association doing? I beg kind-hearted spiritualists to save my child! I'm willing to give away everything I have!"
"My husband is missing too. He was just passing by there in a taxi. There was no response from the higher-ups. They just told us to wait. How long do we have to wait? It's really unfair."
"I heard that some big guys went there. I hope they can find the missing people as soon as possible."
"If you have some money at home, you can go to the Dark Spirit website to post a bounty mission. I can only help you up to this point."
The man also posted a website address, but not many people believed him. Instead, most people thought he was a liar.
Jiang Shu clicked in and took a look. No wonder everyone thought he was a liar. Just posting the task required a minimum platform fee of 10, and the task reward could not be less than one million. After completing the task and providing evidence, he could receive the reward.
Apart from the fact that the base deposit is a bit high, it looks quite formal. She flipped through it casually and found that the platform also limits visitors' browsing time. If they browse for more than one minute, they have to register. It is too strict.
She did not register, but gave the URL to her own thug to check it out.
Only after getting the other party's approval did she register an account. The more she looked at the publishing tasks, the more disheartened she became.
There are already fifty or sixty tasks just to find missing people in the eastern suburbs.
It turns out that the influence of alien species has become so serious. As the president of the Spiritual Association, is Jiang Nanxuan so negligent in his duties?
...........................
Inside the meeting room, members of the Spiritual Association looked solemn.
The four old men sitting in the highest seats were drinking tea leisurely.
"Don't worry, with Senior Gu here, this matter will definitely be stable. I said don't report it yet. If the casualties of ordinary people are revealed, what will happen to us?"
"That's right. You also launched such a big blockade, which made people panic. You are not as good as my son as the president."
They are the four elders of the Jiang City Supreme Council. The Law Enforcement Team and the Spiritual Association must ultimately be discussed and decided by them.
The decision to issue a national red alert was made by Jiang Nanxuan privately, which made them very dissatisfied. The eldest elder's son was the vice president Chen Su, who looked handsome, but took advantage of his official duties to do a lot of dirty things in private.
There are even more people in the association who are dissatisfied with him.
Jiang Nanxuan's eyes were deep, he covered his chest and coughed lightly, "The elders are right, the vice president is indeed very capable, why not let him go to the eastern suburbs to meet Senior Gu, when we solve the alien species inside, Senior Gu will definitely thank him."
Chen Su was not a very courageous person. He knew that Jiang Nanxuan was seriously injured last time when he went in to rescue someone. He didn't dare to go in and seek death this time.
"No, that's not necessary. Let President Jiang take the credit."
The great elder said angrily, "Didn't you see that President Jiang is still injured? Just go if I tell you to. With Senior Gu here, what does this D-level alien mean to you?"
Chen Su couldn't persuade his father, so he could only leave the meeting room with a bitter face and seven or eight of his subordinates.
"Alright, President Jiang, take good care of your injuries. This meeting is over. We still have to participate in the social competition. Let's go."
The Great Elder quickly stood up and winked at the other three old men, and they quickly left the meeting room.
Tu Dou was indignant: "What kind of social competition is this? Isn't it just playing mahjong? At this time, you are just trying to have fun."
Tomato smiled sarcastically: "It's good enough that you don't cause any trouble for us."
The other members were brothers who had followed Jiang Nanxuan through thick and thin for several years, and they also started to complain.
After everyone had vented their emotions, Jiang Nanxuan asked calmly, "Is there any news about Senior Gu?"
"Not yet. The one from the Shen family is probably in danger. President, are you okay?"
"It's nothing serious. Everyone cheer up and hold the blockade to the death. We can't let more citizens go missing."
"Okay, President."
"Continue to warn citizens of the danger and recruit innate spirits."
"Yes."
"Meeting dismissed."
In the solemn atmosphere, everyone left silently.
If Gu Qingpei couldn't resolve the East Suburb Incident, they would have no choice but to report it to Kyoto without telling the elders.
These four elder consuls were very timid and kept the matter secret for fear of being blamed by their superiors.
In fact, there was a murder in the eastern suburbs a few months ago.
A red fog suddenly appeared in the eastern suburbs these few days, and many people went missing, which attracted great attention. Chairman Jiang Nanxuan insisted on starting a blockade with the law enforcement team, and the four elders were so angry that they directly put all the responsibility on Jiang Nanxuan's head.
But if Jiang Nanxuan hadn't blocked the area in time and notified everyone, there would probably be even more people missing.
The office of the Spiritual Association in City S was not as peaceful as usual.
"President, the fog in the eastern suburbs of Jiang City has spread to S City. Someone reported that someone was abducted by an alien species."
"Then what do you do for a living? Go find someone!"
"But most of the people in the association went to Jiang City to look for your son, and they haven't come back yet..."
"Something happened tomorrow?"
