Chapter 384: Precursors of an Earthquake
Liao Yisheng gulped down a cigarette and walked around the room.
His wife, Zhao Meiqin, was watching the TV series intently, and watching him dangle around all the time made her feel uneasy.
"Lao Liao, what are you doing here? I've been smoking since I got home, and I haven't smoked enough outside, have you? It's a miasma of smoke in the house! β
Liao Yisheng stopped, took two puffs of the cigarette in his hand, then put it out in the ashtray, and opened the window wider for ventilation.
"Mikoto, the last time your eldest brother said about partnering with someone to open a mine, if I'm not mistaken, it was on the side of Shirakawa, right?"
"yes, why do you suddenly ask about this? Didn't you say don't sue you for any of these things, just when you don't know anything? β
"Well, if you don't give him a call, let him do his best to count it, transport the things out, and withdraw the people as much as possible!" Liao Yisheng said with a serious face, "Let him be sure to complete it within three days, if there are not enough people, find it immediately, and if it hasn't been processed before the 12th, don't care!" β
"What's wrong? Is there going to be a check? Zhao Meiqin also became nervous.
"Well, don't ask about the specifics, just tell your brother-in-law, it's what I mean, and he will understand what's going on in the future."
"Oh, I see." Zhao Meiqin realized that the situation might be a bit strict, so she quickly found her mobile phone and came out to call.
Liao Yisheng looked up at the ceiling lamp on the ceiling and was fascinated, my dear country, you let us love you affectionately, and you, have you ever thought of loving your people?

The next day, May 10, the local newspapers and news recorded a grand migration of hundreds of thousands of toads in the cotton and bamboo area. Although the forestry experts explained that it had nothing to do with the earthquake, there was news of the earthquake that had been circulating for a long time. As a result, the sensitive nerves of the people were instantly shaken. News of the previously predicted May 12 earthquake is rampant again.
The phone of the police station was almost blown up, and all major newspapers and television stations rushed to ask to come and interview this "rumor-monger" who had just been arrested.
"Today's interview, it is estimated that it will be reported in the evening, and then the people of the whole country will know about you, which may have a great impact on your company."
"I know, something. There is always a price to pay! "The marshal is very open-minded.
"Good boy, bloody!" Liao Yisheng gave him a thumbs up.
The police arranged a unified time for the media to be interviewed, so the impact of the incident was heavy, and all the media wanted to get first-hand information, so there were many reporters who came, and the police also arranged a special room as an interview room. The marshal changed into clean clothes, his beard was cleanly shaven, and he showed a good state of mind.
The following is a Q&A interaction between journalists and marshals.
"You are the CEO of the Pretty Lady Clothing Group Co., Ltd., Mr. Marshal, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Did you do this because of the rumors on the Internet? Or is the rumor itself spread by you? On what basis do you believe that an earthquake is possible? β
"I didn't spread the rumors. I just stumbled upon an April Fool's Day post about earthquakes one day, and many people thought it was just an April Fool's joke, but I have a friend who is a member of the Geophysical Society, and I usually subscribe to books about it. So I discussed it with my friend, and he also reported that the weather had been a bit weird since '06, and then there was a group discussion. As a result of the discussions, it was unanimously agreed that there was a high probability of an earthquake. They also wrote a report to the National Earthquake Administration, but the Earthquake Administration considered this theory to be an isolated phenomenon. It is not of general guiding significance, so it is not accepted. But my friends and I are convinced of this. β
"So you even put down your busy work for that. Rushing all the way to the Wenchuan and Shirakawa areas to carry out earthquake emergency publicity? I read the leaflets you handed out, which are all about the points you should be aware of in the event of an earthquake. β
"Yes, I'm just telling you some earthquake emergency information, I can't be guilty of this, right?"
"But the specific time of the earthquake you marked at the end of the leaflet is easy to mislead the public into thinking that there will really be an earthquake on that day!"
"Ah, is that so? Maybe I prepared too hastily and didn't have time to think about it carefully, and I didn't expect it to trigger such an association. β
"Have you heard about the large-scale toad moving phenomenon in the Mianzhu area yesterday, forestry experts said that the environment has improved is a good thing, what do you think? Could it be a precursor to an earthquake? β
"Whether it is a precursor to an earthquake or not, I suggest that everyone may wish to grasp some earthquake avoidance information, even if the earthquake really comes, it will not be too panicked and cause unnecessary casualties."
"You said earlier that you firmly believe in the rumored earthquake on May 12, that is, the day after tomorrow?"
ββ¦β¦ Be! β
"Does that mean you also predict an earthquake on the 12th of this month?"
"I don't dare to predict, I'm not an expert, I'm just reminding everyone that if the rumored earthquake happens, how to minimize the casualties."
"I heard that your fiancΓ©e was involved in this incident, right? Your fiancΓ©e is Zhang Future, CEO of Tianxiang Group's City of the Future? Previously, it was also Tianxiang Group that pushed blizzard information to members' mobile phones. At that time, some people speculated that Tianxiang Group had an unpredictable prophet, may I ask if this earthquake event was also predicted by that master? How else would you be so confident that an earthquake could happen? Can you tell us who that master is? β
"The last blizzard, I think Chairman Chen of Tianxiang Group made it very clear at the press conference, it was indeed a coincidence, and it had nothing to do with this earthquake event. Again, I'm not predicting anything, it's just that I'm a little more sensitive than others because I have a lot of experience in this area, so that's it. β
"Zhang Future is involved in this matter with you, so she is also very supportive of you, right? Does your family approve of you doing this? β
The marshal was silent for a moment, and finally said incomparably: "I have always remembered the words of Mencius vividly: 'The old man and the old man. The young and the young of the people', all the kings encourage you. Thank you!. β

The transcript of the interview was broadcast during the prime time of the evening news, causing all kinds of speculation and discussion among the public. Twelve hours later, Marshal and his company's pretty woman were among the top three most searched on the Internet, and the shock flyer posted on the Internet was reprinted and downloaded more than six million times.
At this time, the future is confronting Qiao Zhuangyuan.
She got in touch with Qiao Zhuangyuan last night, and Qiao Zhuangyuan had also arrived in Rongcheng, and was entrusted by Chen Zhuzi to bring her back no matter what.
In the future, he originally planned to go to Rongcheng to see the situation first, but Liang Xun was ordered to take care of her safety, refused to let her go, and did not tell her the exact address. The future is helpless, so I have to spend the night at Liang Xun's house first.
The next day, she took advantage of Liang Xun to go to the bathroom. Secretly stuffed two hundred yuan to the nanny, and learned the exact address from the nanny, so she called Qiao Zhuangyuan.
In this way, Qiao Zhuangyuan explained his intention to Liang Xun, saying that he was ordered to bring the future back to S City, and Liang Xun let the future go with the consent of the father. Before leaving, he also reminded Liang Xun to avoid it in advance, and the latter said that he was ready, and the gold and silver were all packed up. Tomorrow will sort out all the company's affairs and take a place for the time being.
As soon as Qiao Zhuangyuan received the future, he instructed the driver to drive directly to the airport, and the future expressed resolute opposition and strongly requested to drive to Rongcheng City. She wants to see the marshal.
"The marshal is still in the review stage, and the police do not allow him to contact anyone except the lawyer, so it's useless for you to go." Qiao Zhuangyuan was a little cold-blooded and cold-hearted.
"Then I'll go see his lawyer and ask about the situation!"
"You can just call and ask!" Qiao Zhuangyuan was not accommodating.
"Brother-in-law. Good brother-in-law, you are the best. Just beg you to be okay, if it's Sister Shirui who is locked up today. What would you think in your heart, huh? The future decided to play the pitiful card, "I don't personally determine the situation of the marshal, even if you take me back, my heart is still here!" β
"Then I don't care, I just need to guarantee your personal safety!"
"I'm afraid the master hates me to death now, why would he want you to take me back? You must be a false herald! β
"If you don't believe me, call your dad and see if I'm pretending to be a holy decree. How can Dad hate you, he will only blame himself for being useless and not being able to stop you. β
His words could no longer be refuted in the future, so he could only silently let him arrange them.
Qiao Zhuangyuan sent the future to the airport, personally watched her enter the ticket gate, and in order to prevent her from escaping halfway, he also arranged bodyguards to accompany her.
But as a result, not long after he left the airport, he received a call from his bodyguard, saying that the future had caused him a little chaos and she had run away.
SHITοΌ
Qiao Zhuangyuan couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he knew that the future was not a fuel-efficient lamp. No wonder she has always been docile and obedient to the arrangement, and she has already made up her mind to take the opportunity to slip away.
He had to call Chen Zhuzi and Chen Shirui to explain the situation, and promised that he would escort her back again, and this time, he would never go on a business trip again.
So, after he had dealt with some of the affairs, he was notified by the Yuan, and he rushed to the Yuan's house to intercept the future.
"Well, you now know about the marshal, right? Can I go back? He asked with a calm face.
"I'm sorry, I can't leave at this time!" The future remains resolute.
"Future!" Qiao Zhuang roared angrily.
Yuan Xun also helped Qiao Zhuangyuan persuade the future: "In the future, since your master is so worried about you, and you also have what you should do, you should go back with Young Master Qiao first!" The marshal also wants you to go back as much as possible, doesn't it? β
"Uncle, just let me stay, maybe I can help a little?"
"There's nothing I need help with for the time being, you're safe and sound, it's the biggest help for me!" Yuan Xun said a little tiredly.
The future is dumbfounded for a while.
In the end, the future was compromised.
Because, for the time being, she really has no better way, but to distract these people to take care of her. It's better for her to go back quietly, but let everyone worry.
What's more, the marshal made her unconscious at that time, just hoping that she would not get involved.
Since everyone wants her to hide, then she will resign herself to being an ostrich!
Soon, she was "escorted" back to the airport again.
Qiao Zhuangyuan was afraid that she would repeat her old tricks, so for the sake of insurance, he still sent an extra bodyguard.
Fortunately, the future left today, because from the next day, the seats on the major flights to S city were sold out, not only S city, but also Hong Kong and Taiwan, many tickets away from Xichuan were booked.
Now Qiao Zhuangyuan is going to be trapped in Xichuan and can't go back. (To be continued......)
