Chapter 336: Complete Blockade (Thanks to the Silver Alliance for Happy Birthday to Ji Jue)
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, let alone a wall as thick as honeycomb coal like the City Hall, which can be impossible to rely on.

In less than half an hour, everyone in Yacheng knew about it!

Xu Chaoxian crossed the road without looking at the traffic lights and got lucky. Xu Chaoxian took a shower without turning on the switch and was exposed to high voltage electricity. Xu Chaoxian stepped out of the door with his left leg first and was hit to death by a flower pot. Xu Chaoxian got his retribution and died of eating shit. Xu Chaoxian couldn’t accept the latest scientific theory and exploded in the head. Xu Chaoxian was reincarnated into another world…

In short, there are 100,000 ways to die, each one is brilliant and each one is full of credibility that makes one recognize it.

Unfortunately, the only drawback is…

Didn’t die.

He is now in the hospital for emergency treatment!

When Ji Jue received Tong Shan’s message, he couldn’t help but feel mixed emotions: for a moment, he didn’t know whether he should hope that the disease would defeat Xu Chaoxian quickly, or that the disease would defeat Xu Chaoxian later…

At least wait until this wave is over!

“What exactly is going on?”

Ji Jue was puzzled: “He’s fine, but he got food poisoning? You’re the governor, you wouldn’t eat expired pork trotter rice, right?”

“Not the pork trotter rice, but there are plenty of other dishes. After all, he… just likes this.”

Tong Shan sighed, “The chef was making a black-striped sea snake stew, but he didn’t remove the venom sac cleanly and the temperature was not high enough. After lunch, he started vomiting blood during the afternoon meeting. Fortunately, Ji Xue was on duty, otherwise I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to react in time.”

Ji Jue was silent for a long time, “Chef?”

“The chef is an old chef that Xu Chaoxian brought from Central City. He has been with him for decades. His parents and brothers all rely on Xu Chaoxian for food. If he couldn’t be trusted, Xu Chaoxian would have died decades ago.”

“That’s just a coincidence?” Ji Jue was amused. “I suddenly found a suspicious target.”

Now it was Tong Shan’s turn to be speechless.

Indeed, no matter how you look at it, the whole thing is just a coincidence.

By coincidence, a black sea snake that was more than ten years old came. By coincidence, its venom sac was not cleaned up. By coincidence, there was a problem with the natural gas supply due to the explosion in the chemical plant, so the temperature was not high enough. By coincidence, the largest piece was directly sent to Xu Chaoxian’s plate, and by coincidence, it was eaten…

There aren’t many such coincidences in the world.

And the one who is best at coincidence is probably… only Ether!

Everything is like a book, and the mortal world is like paper. Ether Dao, the chosen one hiding behind the scenes, likes this kind of arrangement with subtle clues and reversals revealed by foreshadowing the past the most… To some extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that manipulating fate is not an exaggeration.

The difference between the high and low in the Way of Ashes is like heaven and earth. There are outrageous old masters like Tianlu, and there are apprentices who have failed to pass the tests of countless craftsmen.

The same is true for the Way of Ether. There is not even a standard that is obvious on the surface, and the gap in the dark will only become greater.

The silly little Karami who can only be used to explore the map and place wards is far from the real Ether boss.

“I support you to be the governor, Brother Shan, you know that.” Ji Jue took Tong Shan’s blood pressure with a loyal look on his face and bullied the honest man.

“Grandpa has been busy lately. As a great man, you can’t just sit there and stare at Xu Chaoxian, right?” Tong Shan’s ears automatically ignored the barking of the dog, and he sighed tiredly: “In this world, we are not the only ones who are good at ether.”

This knife really hit the vital point.

Normally, Xu Chaoxian’s decoration is useless except for wasting food, but it is not quite right to say that he is useless, especially at this critical juncture.

Lü Yingyue, Xu Chaoxian, and the Tong family are all indispensable. Without Xu Chaoxian’s communication, there would not even be any promises between the two parties in Zhongcheng, and without the position of governor, the Tong family could not represent Yacheng.

“What’s the result of the rescue?” Ji Jue asked, “Since he didn’t die on the spot, he couldn’t be rescued, right? He really got his comeuppance because of the envy of heaven and the resentment of people. At least I can support him with a membership card for Hope Hospital.”

This time, it was Tongshan who remained silent for a long time.

Even the communication between the two of them was upgraded with his operation, with a higher level of confidentiality. After confirming that there was no one around Ji Jue, Tong Shan said vaguely: “Xu Chaoxian’s condition is different from that of the Chosen One and ordinary people. Some methods don’t work on him… I can’t tell you the specific situation, but for now, we can only rely on rescue.

The result was not good. He has not woken up since he came out of the operating room.

You have to be careful about everything. Don’t try to resist no matter what happens. As long as you can hold on, everything will be fine. Do you understand?”

“Although I don’t quite understand it, I understand it for now.”

Ji Jue sighed: “Brother Shan, you go get busy.”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Jue sat in the empty factory and sighed silently.

Soon, I received a call from Ye Chun.

As he expected, all the sellers he had originally agreed to sell had problems.

Because of weather reasons, financial reasons, my wife giving birth, or various other things, I can’t sell cucumbers for the time being.

Please pay the penalty. If you are unhappy, we can bow to you. We are really sorry for causing you trouble.

Not only Yulou Trading was attacked, all sales channels, both inside and outside the city, all encountered accidents or warnings, either overt or covert.

Due to chemical pollution, the Coast Automobile Factory was completely shut down.

Even if there is wind and rain on Tongshan Mountain, even if 99.9% of the bacteria are removed and only less than 0.1% of the residue is left, it is still a hidden danger of cancer and serious illness for ordinary people.

Since the afternoon, there has been non-stop reporting on chemical pollution on TV. With so many bloody cases and lessons learned from the past, many workers are so frightened that they want to resign.

Less than two hours after the pollution leak occurred, four companies participating in the Haizhou military tender, namely, Dongcheng Huisheng Science and Technology, Beijing Group, Yucheng Tiancheng Industry, and Zhongcheng Xinyuan Power, suddenly jointly protested and questioned the military qualifications and operating conditions of Coast. When the dying Coast finally mustered up its strength and propped up one arm, the behemoths that once divided up all the market share of Coast responded again and took ruthless actions!
Huisheng, Beijing, Tiancheng, and Xinyuan, the four military-industrial enterprises that joined Huanyu, represent more than just that. Behind them are the intricate family forces, the cities where they are located, and the interests of all parties. They even involve the upper echelons of the two parties and the military, and even the many Haizhou people who have been making a fortune with the fall of the coast for a long time…

Just like when Ji Jue turned over with the help of cucumber, he was as smooth as flowing water, with the help of heaven and earth, as if he could do anything. But once he went back and forth, he fell to the bottom.

The small-scale fighting and cold-eyed observation before this were just waiting for the prey to reveal its true appearance under the muddy water.

Once they take action, they will use every possible means.

Even Xu Chaoxian was sent to the hospital!

Ji Jue even suspected that compared to this, even the pollution from chemical leaks was just a pretext they used to attract attention.

At this moment, facing the intricate situation and the overly lofty struggle, Ji Jue finally realized the powerlessness and fatigue that only the pawns crossing the river and the rafters standing out felt.

No matter how bravely you move forward, the outcome of the situation has nothing to do with you.

“We are so insignificant, Isis.”

Ji Jue leaned back in his chair and sighed to himself.

“You just joined a rotten game that’s been going on for too long.”

The workshop spirit said coldly: “If you need comfort, then I will try my best, but it seems to me that you don’t need this meaningless encouragement.

If you are tired of all this, you can just leave.”

Ji Jue asked: “What if I refuse to repent and still overestimate my own abilities?”

“As your tool and slave, do I have any other choice?” Issi answered without hesitation: “I will serve you, sir, until I witness your tragic end and conclusion.”

“Then go ahead.”

Ji Jue smiled, staring at the news on the screen, the complex structure of the four military industrial enterprises and the intricate connections behind them, as well as the glorious honors on the stage: Shang Tongwen, Lu Tianhao, Li Yu’an, Gao Yue…

The screen went out, revealing an expressionless face on the black screen.

After suffocating for so many years, Ji Jue finally took a breath of new air. No one can let Ji Jue exhale this breath he has regained!
He picked up the phone again.

“Hey, Senior, um, there are no problems with the equipment at the moment, but the contamination is still quite high, so don’t come back yet.

At present, the production of small tricycles has been transferred to the subsidiary factory, and the new factory area in Quancheng has also been rebuilt. All we have to do is concentrate on resuming the production of cucumbers.

As for the workers’ settlement, well, let’s just treat it as a team-building holiday. Anyway, the budget is sufficient. Before the factory problems are resolved, we can find some farmhouses and resorts for a few days. I’ll trouble you with this.

I need to discuss the new production plan with Yan Gong again…”

“That’s why I called you.”

Ye Chun sighed on the other end of the phone, “At noon, Yan Jian took people to pick up a batch of spare parts that had just been delivered to the port, and we couldn’t get in touch with him anymore.

Two other workers who had gone with us were thrown in front of the hospital. They were in a bad condition and their hands were broken.”

Ji Jue straightened his body subconsciously:
“Where’s Yanjian?”

“Yan Jian is still being held.”

Ye Chun looked down at the news he had just found: “The shipping company that sent this batch of goods is from Qiandao, and they are under the name of Huangji, so they have bad intentions.

The leader is called Ling Zhou, a Federation descent, and the head horse of Gray Port, the hub of the Northern Thousand Islands. He has a debt in his hand that he collected from an unknown place, and he says that it is only right for debtors to pay it back.

If you want the goods or the person, go and give an explanation in person.”

Ji Jue was silent.

After a long time, a light sigh was heard.

“Really? I’ve been treated like a soft persimmon…”

“They should be heading towards the coast.” Ye Chun asked, “Should we contact the Security Bureau?”

“No need.”

Ji Jue shook his head decisively: “I will go find Huang Ji to give it to him.”

“You decide. If anything happens, don’t forget to tell your aunt.” Ye Chun said, “No matter how powerful the people of Chaosheng are, they are not something that people from Huangji can easily control.”

“There’s no need to bother the teacher with such a small matter.”

After Ji Jue hung up the phone, he found out Chen Xingzhou’s number.

“Hello? Mr. Ji, please wait a moment.”

After the call was connected, the voice on the other end was still calm and warm, as always:

“I’ll be ready soon.”
