Chapter 67 The Cause of All Things

Waterfront city center.

Office.

An elderly man sat at his desk, carefully examining the thick papers in his hand.

The interior is simple.

Except for daily office use, there is nothing superfluous!

The only eye-catching place is a landscape painting behind it!

Mountains are endless!

Water comes in!

The pine mountain seat, the ink is naturally fragrant!

Da-da-da-da!

There was a knock on the door.

Without looking up, he said, "Please come in!"

The vermilion door opened slowly, as if afraid of disturbing the old man.

A middle-aged man in a medium suit walked in, gently closed the door, walked closer, and stood silently!

The old man didn't seem to notice, just looked at the documents in his hand, and the dense words seemed to have an extraordinary attraction in his eyes, so that he couldn't separate his heart!

The sandalwood on the table has been burning for a long time!

The old man finally saw the last page of the thick document in his hand, solemnly closed it, and then looked at the person who came, with a friendly smile on his face, "I'm sorry, Xiao Chen!

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Old general, don't torture me!"

"Sit down!" the old man shook his head and smiled, gesturing to the seat ahead.

Only then did the middle-aged man move and sit down.

"What's going on in Mingyue District now?" said the old man.

"It's still in progress! It's still under control for the time being! It's just that the residents inside are afraid that there won't be one in ten!"

The old man paused, and reopened the thick papers on the table.

"It's good that the results are still under control!" he sighed and continued, "What about them?"

"They are still working hard, I heard that the imperial capital has begun to give out some places and permissions!"

"How much?"

"Fifty percent!"

The old man's fingers suddenly tapped on the tabletop, shook his head and sighed, "They are so capable!"

The middle-aged man knows who this so-called "they" are, but these involve too advanced levels, although he has the intention to show it, but he also has to think carefully so as not to fall into the mouth.

Just as the two were talking, a slightly hurried voice came from outside the house.

Babble.

The doors are open.

A young man strode in, ignoring the guards' obstructions.

Seeing that someone was there, the young man opened his mouth and did not speak.

The middle-aged man smiled dumbly, but he knew this young man, but he was a grandson of the old man, no wonder the guards didn't dare to stop him!

So, he nodded at the old man, and was about to withdraw, but was stopped by the old man.

"It's okay!

The middle-aged man's face suddenly became serious.

At this time, the old man did not shy away from him, proving that he had begun to be included in the circle.

This made him happy at the same time, but also became heavier and heavier!

The person in front of him is a very controlling person, and he has to ask about everything in person.

Now, I'm afraid there is something big, so it seems to be weak?

The old man looked at the young man who came in, and his brows inadvertently furrowed slightly, "Ming'er, you rarely come here to look for me, do you?"

"Yes!"

"Sit down first!"

The young man didn't move!

The old man shook his head and said, "What's the matter?

The young man's sword eyebrows lifted slightly, and his face turned a little red, "The matter of Mingyue District! I want an explanation!"

The old man glanced at him, lowered his head and flipped through the papers.

"What's the explanation?" he said.

The young man took two steps forward, and his voice was a little high, "Grandpa! I hope you can face up to my problem!" Mingyue District, hundreds of thousands of people, are now in dire straits! Hundreds of thousands of people! How many are left now? As the general of the Linhai Military Department, more than fifty percent of the soldiers are there

All rushed to Mingyue District before the disaster!"

"But now—not only did they not go in to save people, but they also locked the survivors in the Mingyue District! You say, what do you want to do? It's all a living human life! Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

The old man raised his head and glanced at him lightly, "Is this because of this?"

"Isn't that enough?"

The old man shook his head, "Not enough!"

The young man's face turned red, and he said angrily, "How can that be enough?"

The old man sighed deeply, stood up, walked to the glass window, and turned his back to him, "Xiao Ming, I often teach you not to judge when you don't understand the cause of a thing!"

"However, you are often absent-minded, do not listen! do not listen! Do not ask questions with an open mind!"

"You have what you have to pursue, and I don't force you! However, the result of a thing may seem bad, but it is not bad!"

As if sensing that the young man behind him was still unconvinced, the old man continued: "Listen well! I will give you an explanation! I hope this is the last time!"

After a pause, he said leisurely: "The Mingyue District incident! In fact, it can't be completely regarded as a natural disaster!"

The young man's body was shocked, and his face was incredulous!

Although he kept shouting and asking the old man to give an explanation, deep down he still didn't want to believe that the old man would answer like this!

Why? That's hundreds of thousands of names!

The old man sighed: "Of course, it can't be regarded as a man-made disaster! Because even if you don't come today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will come eventually!"

The young man sneered, remembering such a sentence: Man has a death after all, and early death and late death are death!

Ridiculous explanation, isn't it?

He wanted to be sarcastic.

However, the old man didn't give him a chance, "You listen to me!"

"The incident in Mingyue District is not led by any one person, but the Science Society and the Ministry of War!"

"How is that possible!"

As the grandson of the old man, the young man knows what these two names together represent!

It represents Huaguo, this huge country!

Why?

Why turn a blind eye to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people?
