Chapter 3573

Su Xinghui didn't say anything more to Zhai Yingjie. He lay on the back seat, closed his eyes, and went to sleep. Today, in order to hold Niuniu's birthday banquet, he got up very early and hadn't rested until now. He was indeed a bit tired. He couldn't sleep in He Weidong's car just now, but now that Zhai Yingjie was driving, he didn't have so many scruples, so he took this time to sleep for a while.

He had to see Wu Jianbai later, and it wouldn't do if his spirit wasn't good.

Seeing Su Xinghui lying down to sleep, Zhai Yingjie stopped talking, turned off the music in the car, and drove more steadily. Going to Yanzhong City, he took the expressway, which was not bumpy, just right for Su Xinghui to sleep.

About two hours later, the car arrived at the Yanzhong intersection and got off the expressway. Zhai Yingjie said softly, "Mayor Su, Yanzhong has arrived."

Su Xinghui opened his eyes, sat up, rubbed his eyes, and then rubbed his face with his palms to wake himself up as quickly as possible.

Soon, the car arrived at the Provincial Party Committee compound and came to the downstairs of Wu Jianbai's office building. Su Xinghui got out of the car, strode upstairs, and came to Wu Jianbai's office.

Wu Jianbai was looking at a document in his office. Seeing Su Xinghui coming, he took off his glasses. His face looked a bit tired, but he still smiled at Su Xinghui and said, "Comrade Xinghui, you came very quickly."

Su Xinghui rushed to Yanzhong City as soon as he finished eating. From the time Wu Jianbai called him to now, only more than three hours had passed, which was indeed fast enough.

Su Xinghui said, "You called at this time, there must be something urgent, so I naturally had to be a bit faster."

Wu Jianbai pointed to a sofa and said, "Sit."

Su Xinghui sat down, and Wu Jianbai's secretary made a cup of tea for Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui thanked him, and he went out. Wu Jianbai walked out from behind the desk and sat opposite Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui didn't speak either; he was waiting for Wu Jianbai to speak. Since Wu Jianbai called him from far away this Saturday, there must be something going on, and Su Xinghui didn't need to ask.

Sure enough, Wu Jianbai said, "Comrade Xinghui, have you heard about what happened in Linshan City these past few days?"

Linshan City? Su Xinghui shook his head blankly. He returned to Baozhou City yesterday. For the past two days, all his thoughts were on Niuniu's birthday banquet, and he didn't pay attention to what happened in Linshan City. Besides, Linshan City was too far from Baozhou City, hundreds of kilometers away, so Su Xinghui really couldn't pay attention to things so far away.

Wu Jianbai handed a document to Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui began to read it carefully.

As he read, Su Xinghui was a bit shocked. It turned out that last month, a major mine disaster occurred in Linshan City. A mine shaft of a large coal mine in Linshan City had a roof collapse, trapping dozens of miners who were mining at the time in the mine shaft. However, at that time, Linshan City chose to conceal the report.

In the past few days, this matter could no longer be concealed and was known to the province. However, in these ten-plus days, this accident had caused huge and evil consequences, and none of these dozens of miners survived.

Su Xinghui's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He was the one who couldn't stand such things the most. If he weren't in Wu Jianbai's office, his palms would probably have already slapped onto the coffee table.

These city leaders were simply treating human lives as grass. They actually dared to conceal such a big thing. If they had reported it to the province at the first time, and the province had organized manpower and material resources for emergency rescue, perhaps these miners wouldn't have died.

But now, everything was beyond redemption.

After reading the document, Su Xinghui raised his head, and Wu Jianbai said, "Comrade Xinghui, what are your thoughts?"

Su Xinghui said, "Unforgivable!"

Wu Jianbai sighed and said, "Yes, unforgivable!"

The office fell silent. Su Xinghui knew that this major safety production accident would probably affect Wu Jianbai's future. Next year is the year of the change of term. Originally, Wu Jianbai's political achievements in Yanbei Province were quite good, and he was expected to serve another term as Provincial Party Committee Secretary, but this accident made his prospects much dimmer.

But Su Xinghui was even more heartbroken for the lives of those dozens of miners. They were truly innocent! The relevant leaders of Linshan City were truly unforgivable!

After a long time, Wu Jianbai said, "Xinghui, Linshan City's Municipal Party Committee Secretary Tang Xingchang, Mayor Yang Anyi, Executive Vice Mayor Tang Wenhua, and Vice Mayor Wang Li, who was in charge of the economy and safety production, and several other city leaders have all resigned to take the blame. The Provincial Party Committee will continue to pursue the responsibilities they should bear."

Su Xinghui was shocked again. Linshan City had so many city leaders who resigned to take the blame because of this mine disaster. This was a major earthquake. The leadership of Linshan City was probably going to have a major blood transfusion, and Su Xinghui also vaguely understood why Wu Jianbai summoned him to Yanzhong so urgently.
