The room fell silent.
“I agree.”
Immediately, someone nodded in agreement.
“I agree too.”
“Agree.”
“……”
Following that, the others nodded in succession.
Anyone who could sit in this position wasn't stupid; they had a clear understanding of the situation.
The sudden arrival of 《Doomsday》 was bound to worsen the already chaotic situation, and they no longer had the means to stabilize it.
Because they lacked absolute suppression.
And looking across the globe, only Ye Han possessed such prestige.
They were all perfectly clear on what choice to make.
“What about you?”
The others looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the corner, his face gloomy and silent.
If there was any variable, it was probably him.
After another period of silence, the middle-aged man spoke, his voice hoarse: “Are you all implying…”
“That my son… died in vain?”
“So what if he did?” A square-faced man with a sharp demeanor, tempered by blood and fire, spoke without reservation, “In this situation, who is indispensable?”
“Go outside and take a look, see how chaotic the streets are?”
“Go see how many people have died since the arrival of the anomalies?”
“Consider today's incident; how many more will die?”
“If no one can stand up and stabilize the situation, how many more will die in the future?”
He said in a deep voice, “The entire Great Xia is already teetering on the brink, and how many people are taking advantage of the situation to commit wrongdoing and act recklessly?”
“How many people haven't died at the hands of the anomalies, but have died at the hands of those thugs? How many families have been torn apart?”
“Do you think you're the only one who has lost a loved one and is suffering?”
Mei Youdiao’s voice was low, “It’s not the same.”
“Not the same? How is it not the same?”
The square-faced man sneered, “Was that little bastard truly so innocent? Hasn't he done any petty theft? I doubt it?”
“If he hadn't relied on his status to come knocking, would Ye Han have killed him? Why aren't others being killed?”
“In my opinion, it was well-deserved!”
“You!” Mei Youdiao's face darkened, “It's easy for you to say, it wasn't your loss.”
“Heh.”
The square-faced man said disdainfully, “I'm not stupid enough to think I'm the king of heaven, with no one to restrain me.”
“Surname Mei.” His temper flared, pointing at Mei Youdiao’s face, “I'm telling you, it's hard to say what Ye Han's attitude towards the authorities will be after this incident. If he becomes hostile because of this, then without him saying so, I'll personally kill you and send you to see that little bastard.”
“I'll say it again, as long as order can be re-established, no one is indispensable, including you, and including me!”
Mei Youdiao's expression became even more unsightly, but before he could speak, the white-haired old man who had spoken first stood up in a timely manner, “Alright, say less, this meeting isn't for you two to argue, but…”
He glanced at Mei Youdiao with a meaningful look, “Some things, let go when you should. In the face of right and wrong, personal grudges are insignificant.”
“If I, this old man, find anyone trying to make a fuss about this, don't blame me for turning hostile.”
“Elder Chen's meaning is also my meaning.” The square-faced man immediately took over.
“What Elder Chen said isn’t without reason.”
“……”
Then, the others also expressed their attitudes, very firmly.
Even Mei Youdan, after pondering for a moment, chose to stand on Elder Chen's side.
Mei Youdiao didn't say a word, his heart sinking to the bottom.
He knew very well that his idea of seeking revenge for his son was almost impossible to realize.
That young man named Jiang Han didn't even need to show his face to influence these core figures of Great Xia.
“Since you've all said so, what else can I say?”
Mei Youdiao gave a desperate, miserable laugh. He stood up with difficulty, saying weakly, “Don’t worry, I’m not so ignorant of the big picture. However, you don’t need to consult me on these matters in the future.”
Having said that, he turned and left, disheartened.
The others didn't say anything, just quietly watching Mei Youdiao's figure gradually disappear.
And his departure meant that he would be excluded from the core position from now on.
Everyone, including Mei Youdan, who was his brother, was well aware of this.
But even Mei Youdan, as his elder brother, didn't say much. The general trend was unstoppable.
All of this was predestined from the moment Mei Jibo appeared in Fengye City.
It could only be said that today's result was caused by yesterday's actions.
In this confrontation with Jiang Han, even the former big shot had lost miserably.
“Then, back to the main topic.”
Until Mei Youdiao was far away, the white-haired old man withdrew his gaze and said lightly, “I'll emphasize again, don't let similar things happen again. Let everyone take this as a warning.”
“When looking at Jiang Han, don't use the previous perspective. The times have changed. It's not that he needs Great Xia's protection now, but that Great Xia needs him.”
He looked around the room, his sharp gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, “I hope you can all firmly remember this principle and not do things that you think are right.”
“Understood.”
“Yes.”
Everyone nodded in unison, not daring to be perfunctory. Of course, they knew the urgency and importance of the matter.
To stabilize the order of Great Xia, they did need to ask for his help, and their attitude should be correct.
“Then… Little Li.”
The white-haired old man turned to look at a person beside the square-faced man, “I'll trouble you to find out what exactly happened to the Jiang family ten years ago. The death of Jiang Han's parents may not be so simple.”
“I understand.”
The person called Little Li was actually not young, but he still nodded respectfully. He said with a serious expression, “I will find out the truth as soon as possible and give Jiang Han an explanation. If there is any trickery, none of the relevant personnel will escape!”
“It’s good that you understand.”
The white-haired old man nodded, “This matter should be done as soon as possible, no matter how big or deep the involvement is, whether it’s on the surface or in the dark, dig them all out.”
“Then… send the relevant people to Jiang Han, as our sincerity.”
“Yes.”
“As for the remaining details, we still need to discuss them slowly. We can send someone to contact Jiang City first.”
“……”
Although it was a very important meeting, there were not many matters to discuss.
In addition, with a high degree of consensus, everyone maintained a resolute and efficient style and quickly reached an agreement.
……
At the same time.
Jiang City.
Led by the Jiang City Governor himself, a group of more than ten people, carrying a highly confidential instruction, came to an abandoned construction site.
At this moment, all those who were qualified to participate in this operation were quite influential in Jiang City.
But when they thought of what the person in the construction site had done, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
The governor took a deep breath and said loudly, “Mr. Ye Han, I am Li Huan, the Governor of Jiang City. I have something to ask for. Can you come out for a talk?”
