Chapter 857 The Devastated Scene
Jiang Xuecheng's voice was calm, but when you heard him speak, you couldn't help but feel that there was an inexplicable majesty about him.
Like a god, people subconsciously want to worship.
The executive officer obviously didn't expect that Jiang Xuecheng's first question would be like this.
He was stunned for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he immediately introduced Jiang Xuecheng with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, don't worry too much. We have already resettled the affected residents. Recent disasters such as earthquakes and flash floods and mudslides have rarely occurred. It is estimated that Aquamarine Star will be able to return to its original condition in the short term."
The executive's voice was full of energy when he spoke, but when it fell on Su Wan's ears, she couldn't help but feel a little weird, as if he was talking big words.
Probably because I didn't like the executive the first time I met him. First impression is very important.
Jiang Xuecheng looked indifferent. After listening to the executive officer's words, he said coldly.
"Now that the residents have been resettled, let's go first to Area B, which was the hardest hit."
ah? !
The executive frowned when he heard this.
It seems that Shenting, the newly promoted emperor's son, has done some homework...
"Are you going now?"
The executive officer couldn't help but feel a little confused when he thought about the scene there.
He originally thought that he could just fool around with a few words and take Jiang Xuecheng directly to Area A, which was least affected by the disaster, for a formality in two days, and then basically get it done.
"It's now."
Jiang Xuecheng's stunning phoenix eyes stared at the executive, making the executive almost afraid to look at him.
"What, is there a problem?"
Why is this young man's eyes so sharp?
Being looked at by Jiang Xuecheng like that, the executive officer shuddered subconsciously. He opened his lips and muttered to Jiang Xuecheng.
"Your Highness, it's not a big problem. It's just that the mountain roads in Area B are rugged and there are serious geological landslides. It rained heavily yesterday, and the water there has also risen very high. I'm afraid of any sudden disaster when I go to Area B now."
The executive officer looked at Jiang Xuecheng's face anxiously, with a bit of hope in his eyes.
"Your Highness, how about we wait until the weather gets better in two days before going to Area B?"
But how could Jiang Xuecheng fulfill his wish?
His cold eyes glanced at the executive, his eyes sharper than an eagle.
"In this case, it's even better to go now."
The executive felt heartbroken when he heard this, but looking at Jiang Xuecheng's appearance, he knew that it was useless to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.
…
On the maglev, Su Wan sat in the second row as her entourage, while Jiang Xuecheng and the executive officer were right in front of her.
Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng ask about many things, such as the arrangement of supplies and the whereabouts of the funds allocated by the Holy Palace.
The executive officer answered fluently at first, but as soon as Jiang Xuecheng asked a few more questions, the executive officer responded hesitantly, and his words suddenly felt untenable.
In short, Su Wan felt dizzy after hearing this, and then she got the impression in her mind that this executive officer was probably not a good officer.
Just from what Jiang Xuecheng asked, Su Wan felt that the middle-aged man might be full of misdeeds and was greedy for disaster relief funds.
But Su Wan didn't know how Jiang Xuecheng would handle it.
She did not doubt Jiang Xuecheng's moral issues, but this matter was more difficult and involved too many people's interests, and this executive obviously knew the situation best.
Su Wan prefers to take her time, after all, things have priorities.
First, deal with the current mess in the affected areas of Aquamarine. This is the first priority. At the same time, we should collect evidence and find out where the materials and money are going. Finally, we will deal with the corruption matter.
Su Wan didn't understand politics, and these were just her personal thoughts. Su Wan felt that Jiang Xuecheng must be more thoughtful in thinking and handle things more reliably than she was.
…
The maglev vehicle quickly arrived at Area B as mentioned by Jiang Xuecheng.
It would be an understatement to say it was devastated.
Walls collapsed everywhere, houses collapsed, and trees fell to the ground in various positions.
We can also see the displaced victims, including adults and even children, but everyone's face is not good-looking, almost miserable.
Where is the scene where all the residents have been resettled as the executive officer said?
Su Wan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed as she stared at the panic-looking residents outside the maglev, feeling a little painful in her heart for no reason.
And Jiang Xuecheng has already spoken first!
Jiang Xuecheng's eyebrows were serious, his eyes were locked on the executive officer coldly, and his words were loud and clear!
"Executive Officer Lin, the scene you described seems a bit far from the truth!"
Jiang Xuecheng's words were no longer the same calm tone as before, but full of questions, which struck Executive Lin's ears, making people feel as if they were falling into the abyss, and couldn't help but feel scared.
Executive Officer Lin couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he saw Jiang Xuecheng's dark expression.
He raised his head tremblingly and pointed at the person walking outside the window.
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. They have really been accommodated. It's just that there was a sudden heavy rain yesterday and those people rushed back to save something..."
Jiang Xuecheng frowned deeper after hearing Executive Officer Lin's explanation.
Indeed, almost all of the people outside the maglev car were holding something in their hands.
But even from this distance, Su Wan could tell that most of the things in those people's hands were food, and they felt like soaked compressed biscuits.
It's simply not something worth risking your life to save.
"You said before that the water level is high today and you are afraid of a flash flood. If there are more lives, you are the only one I want to ask!"
Jiang Xuecheng said and directly gave the death order.
"You directly organize people to let them go back. The material rescue sent by the Holy Palace is enough to compensate for their economic losses!"
Executive Officer Lin gritted his teeth and finally nodded in agreement.
Su Wan was not in the mood to listen to their conversation. She looked carefully at the victims and suddenly noticed a characteristic.
Why do you feel that most of the people outside are women and children, or elderly people, but there are almost no young and middle-aged men? !
Su Wan couldn't hold back the doubt in her heart and immediately raised this doubt.
Executive Officer Lin glanced at her and answered casually.
"What else could be going on? Planet Aquamarine is economically backward, and all the young and middle-aged men who can go out have left, leaving their wives, children, and children here."
This is really...
Su Wan's frown deepened. She felt that if there were no young men, wouldn't it be more difficult to fight the disaster?
After all, many things require physical strength.
Su Wan looked at the scene outside the maglev car and began to think about what she could do to help.
Su Wan had never faced this kind of thing head-on before, but now that she was conducting an on-site inspection, she felt so worried.
Maybe she could try to be a temporary nurse or a temporary teacher to calm the children's emotions.
After all, there are too many children here, I hope they won't leave any shadow.
