Chapter 131: Abnormal Occurrences
The survival of all humanity—the narrative sounds grand, but in reality, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe doesn't care about the messy troubles of the Great Families. Worrying about the monstrous flood after his death while his own life is in jeopardy is a sign of a hole in one's brain.
After parting ways with Feng Yushu, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe returned to the hotel where Zhang Yangxu was temporarily staying in Yundu.
Since the power leakage accident at the Bishuiwan Manor, the investment attracted by the tourism development project for Gubei Town had withdrawn by nearly half. The company of Feng Yushu's husband left even more decisively, playing an important leading role for other small companies to run away. Only the New World Group under Zhang Yangxu's name was held back; they couldn't leave even if they wanted to, so they could only continue to inject capital and take over the vacancies left by other companies one by one.
Such things might be frustrating for Zhang Yangxu, but for Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, it was the exact opposite.
While the New World Group and its subsidiaries took over almost all the work of the entire project, they also bore the greatest risk. As the general manager, Zhang Yangxu had sufficient reason to conduct deeper research on sensitive information such as the environment, public security, and even population flow in Gubei Town and the surrounding areas of Taoyuan City, and could obtain considerable acquiescence and cooperation from relevant departments.
During the time Ning Zhe was trapped by the Wealth God Wu Tong going out of control and in Yanglao Village, the massive New World Real Estate Development Group was like a towering tree with lush branches, stretching its branches in the endless rolling hills of southern Qinzhou. Every curved branch and every root buried deep underground was a claw and tooth he could mobilize.
When Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe returned to the desk as Zhang Yangxu and opened the laptop screen, PDF files were already lying quietly in the corporate mailbox waiting for his review: 【2017 Comprehensive Survey and Research on Geology and Hydrology of the Taojiang River Basin】, 【2015-2017 Summary of Population Flow and Employment Information in Counties of Taoyuan City】, 【Research on Consumption Trend Changes in Various Provinces After the Financial Crisis】... These were not things Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe wanted to see.
The Han cultural circle has had a tradition of strongman politics and hero-worship since ancient times. Zhang Yangxu was a strongman-type manager who grew up in such a cultural background. Even though he had reached his current position, he still retained the habit of doing everything himself, insisting on personally reviewing these specific tasks that should have been the responsibility of his subordinates.
But Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't have the energy and ability to steer this behemoth, the New World Group. He was just an ordinary high school student. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe couldn't see through either macro trends or abstract risks.
What he really wanted to see were some specific cases lying at the end of a certain long report.
The progress bar on the right side of the document was dragged to the bottom by the cursor. The time went from 2015 to June 2018. The temperature in the hotel dropped quietly, freezing Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's lazy, water-clear eyes into ice. His gaze landed above a line of regular script text, and the first thought that popped into his mind was:
"This kind of official document didn't use standard Song typeface; the secretary's salary will definitely be deducted tomorrow."
Immediately after, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe began to read the public security management cases in Taoyuan City over the past two months:
【June 16, 2018, evening, 23:37, the Public Security Management Office of Taoxiang County, Taoyuan City, Qinzhou Prefecture received a report from the masses that a corpse was found in a small alley near No. 114 Tuanjie Road, Taoxiang County.】
【The reporter was 4 students, all studying at Taoyuan County Middle School. According to the transcript, after the dormitory lights went out at 21:00 on the 16th, the 4 of them climbed over the wall and left the school together, preparing to go to an internet cafe at No. 115 Tuanjie Road to play games. On the way to the internet cafe, one of the students smelled a strong bloody odor in a small alley near No. 114 Tuanjie Road. After searching, the 4 of them found the corpse hidden in the drainage ditch.】
According to the forensic autopsy and subsequent verification of the resident's identity information, the deceased's personal situation is as follows:
【Gender: Male】
【Age: 24 years old】
【Name: Cao Binbin】
【Occupation: Garment factory supervisor】 【Family situation...】
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe skimmed through the deceased's family situation, emotional history, and work records, and turned the description of this case directly to the end, because this was not an unsolved case; on the contrary, this case had actually been solved long ago.
The deceased had a bad relationship with an employee in the same factory before his death and often used his authority to make things difficult for the other party, which other employees in the factory could prove. The resentment of this oppressed employee accumulated over time, eventually leading to this tragedy.
It is reported that when the police entered the staff dormitory to arrest the employee, he was planning to kill the owner of a fruit shop who had short-changed him when he bought fruit.
This psychology is not difficult to understand. Law-abiding citizens who have never committed a crime always consciously want to protect their clean records from being tarnished. Such people are generally more honest, but this is also the case for this type of person: as long as they have committed a crime once and left a criminal record in the public security, procuratorate, and judicial system, after the 'clean' record is tarnished, breaking the jar and letting it break is not a strange thing.
Fortunately, the case was solved in time, and the employee was brought to justice before he could implement further criminal plans. It is gratifying.
... Really?
With his fingertips gently flicking the mouse wheel, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe saw cases recorded in lines of pitch-black regular script flashing across the screen: programmers who worked overtime all year round without overtime pay beating their superiors, girls with unsatisfactory exam results committing suicide at home, a man falsely accused of taking secret photos on the subway stabbing a woman to death on the spot...
The mouse wheel was still turning, but the document filled with public security incidents was far from reaching the bottom. Instead, the slider on the right side of the screen was becoming smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe let go, leaned his stiff back against the soft back of the sofa, and sighed a long sigh.
"This is just what happened in Taoyuan City in the short month from mid-June to early July..."

Starting from mid-June, the public security situation in Taoyuan City deteriorated rapidly. A large number of violent injuries, murders, suicides, and traffic accidents began to appear frequently. It can be said that more things happened in this 1 month than in the entire first half of this year combined.
It's just that Taoyuan City is vast and sparsely populated, and the frequently occurring public security cases were diluted by the vast territory, and did not bring much real feeling to the residents of various counties.
Only by standing in a high enough position to overlook this land can one notice from the soaring data how abnormal things have happened in Taoyuan City in the past month.
"God That Cannot Be Looked Upon... is it you? Or something else?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's index finger tapped lightly on the laptop's touchpad, and the smooth glass material collided with the middle-aged man's fingernails, which were stained yellow by smoke, making a crisp clicking sound.
Closing the computer, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put on his suit jacket, stood up, and sent a WeChat message to Zhang Yangxu's son:
"Tell your mom I'll be back tomorrow. She blocked me."
