Chapter 261 Now you know fear? What were you doing before?
Chapter 261 Now you know fear? What were you doing before?
The water churned even more violently.
You can vaguely see something moving underwater.
They were densely packed together, countless in number.
Zhao Rui felt a chill run down his spine and his palms were sweating profusely.
"Mr. Shen, then... what do we do now?"
Zhao Rui asked,
"Should we take Chu Tianxiang away first? Otherwise, his resentment will only grow stronger, and something might happen?"
"Need not."
Shen Yu shook his head, his tone calm.
"The stronger their resentment, the deeper their obsession. It will be more effective to resolve it all at once during tomorrow's ritual for their soul to be released."
"But……"
Zhao Rui was still a little worried.
"This resentment is too strong. What if it bursts out and hurts ordinary people?"
"With me here, no one can be hurt."
Shen Yu said something indifferently, then raised one hand and gently waved it forward.
It's such a simple action.
A pale golden light shield spread out from him, like a transparent film, instantly covering the entire reservoir.
The black resentment collided with the golden light shield, making a crackling sound, then dissipated into white smoke without even creating a ripple.
The water, which had been churning violently just moments before, calmed down considerably in an instant.
Although it was still bubbling and the resentment was still emanating, it was all blocked inside the light shield, and not a single trace could leak out.
Zhao Rui stared wide-eyed at the thin golden light shield, his mouth agape.
I rely on.
With just a casual flick of the wrist, such a large formation was set up?
Is he that good?
Is this the power of the Golden Core stage?
That's terrifying!
As Zhao Rui watched Shen Yu's retreating figure, his admiration deepened.
Chu Tianxiang collapsed to the ground, looking at the golden light shield, and calmed down a little.
At least... those things can't get out, right?
……
"Alright, that's all." Shen Yu turned around and looked at Zhao Rui. "Call Lin Jianguo and have him come over."
"Huh? Is Director Lin coming over?" Zhao Rui was taken aback.
"Yes." Shen Yu nodded. "The matter of the funeral rites requires the government's cooperation. Have him come over; I have a few things to discuss with him."
"Okay! I'll call right away!" Zhao Rui immediately took out his phone and dialed Lin Jianguo's number.
The phone rang twice before being answered.
"Hey Zhao Rui, how are you? Is Mr. Shen alright? How's the situation at the reservoir?"
Lin Jianguo's voice came from the other end of the phone, filled with concern.
"Director Lin, Mr. Shen is doing well. There's nothing wrong at the reservoir. Mr. Shen has kept things under control."
Zhao Rui said, "Mr. Shen asked you to come over here. He said there are a few things he needs to tell you, and we need the government's cooperation."
"Okay! I'll be right there!" Lin Jianguo said immediately. "You guys wait, I'll be there in half an hour at most!"
"Yes, Director Lin!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Rui said to Shen Yu, "Mr. Shen, Director Lin said he'll be here soon, in half an hour at most."
"Hmm." Shen Yu nodded and didn't say anything more.
He walked to the side, found a clean stone to sit on, and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhao Rui didn't dare to disturb him, so he stood by and watched over Chu Tianxiang, who was lying on the ground.
Chu Tianxiang was now very obedient, cowering on the ground, not daring to move at all, his eyes were vacant, and he was muttering something to himself.
Zhao Rui glanced at him and sneered inwardly.
Now you know fear?
Why didn't you do this sooner?
……
Half an hour later, Lin Jianguo arrived.
He led a large group of people, including police officers, soldiers, and elite members of the 749th Bureau, making quite a grand and imposing presence.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Lin Jianguo jumped out and strode towards Shen Yu.
"Mr. Shen!" Lin Jianguo walked up to Shen Yu respectfully. "Are you alright? Thank you for your hard work!"
Shen Yu opened his eyes and stood up.
"It's nothing," Shen Yu said casually. "It's not hard work at all, just a small favor."
It was just a small favor...
Lin Jianguo glanced at the golden light shield covering the entire reservoir not far away, and his lips twitched.
Such a grand undertaking, yet you describe it as a trivial matter.
Indeed, a master is a master.
"Mr. Shen, how is the situation?"
Lin Jianguo looked at the reservoir. Although the light shield blocked his view, he could still sense the heavy resentment within. He frowned, but showed little panic.
After all, Mr. Shen is here.
Even if the sky falls, Mr. Shen will hold it up.
"The situation is a bit complicated," Shen Yu said.
"Beneath the reservoir lies a mass grave from the War of Resistance against Japan, containing the remains of 3,217 civilians massacred by the Japanese army, their bones sinking to the bottom of the water."
"What?!" Lin Jianguo was stunned, a look of shock on his face. "A mass grave? Under the Qinglong Reservoir?"
Although he knew Mr. Shen was very capable and guessed that the reservoir was not simple, he never expected it to be a mass grave.
More than three thousand people.
"Mm." Shen Yu nodded.
"Chu Tianxiang's grandfather, Chu Ergou, was a traitor who led the Japanese army to massacre the Han people back then."
Chu Tianxiang knew perfectly well that there was a mass grave at the bottom of the river, yet he deliberately threw evil spirit talismans into the water to stir up resentment, hoping to ruin the surrounding land prices and acquire land at a low price.
"Beasts!" Lin Jianguo's face darkened instantly, and he said through gritted teeth, "Neither of the Chu family grandfather and grandson is any good!"
What he hated most were traitors.
Such a traitor deserves to die ten thousand times over.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Shen Yu waved his hand.
"I called you here because there are a few things I need to tell you, and we need the government's cooperation."
"Mr. Shen, please speak!" Lin Jianguo immediately replied, "Whatever it is, as long as we can do it, we will definitely comply!"
He always obeyed Shen Yu's every word.
Let alone a few things, even if it were dozens or hundreds, he would agree without hesitation.
"The first thing," Shen Yu held up one finger,
"Afterwards, the government had to build a memorial to the compatriots who died in the War of Resistance against Japan by the reservoir."
The names of all 3,217 victims were engraved on the monument.
Every year during the Qingming Festival, people are organized to come and pay their respects.
"No problem!" Lin Jianguo nodded immediately.
"I can agree to this right now! I'll go back and talk to the city government, and we'll get the project approved immediately and start construction as soon as possible!"
The best designers and the best materials must be used to build this monument well, to make it solemn and dignified!
Even if Mr. Shen hadn't brought it up, he would have brought it up himself.
More than 3,000 compatriots have perished, their bodies submerged for decades; it's time to give them an explanation.
"The second thing," Shen Yu held up his second finger,
"Chu Ergou committed the crimes of being a traitor and leading the Japanese army to massacre civilians."
Furthermore, the fact that his grandson, Chu Tianxiang, disturbed the spirits of the dead for profit, resulting in the deaths of twelve people, must all be made public.
Let everyone know this history, and know the crimes committed by the Chu family.
