Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 339 I Firmly Oppose

The old man's words made Chen Shu's brow twitch.

More than ten hours had passed since the accident, but the old man still insisted on lingering around the accident site, his desire for his granddaughter to survive was extremely strong.

Chen Shu was somewhat saddened. Although he had learned from the firefighters that the old man's granddaughter had died, he couldn't bring himself to say it when he saw the old man's grief-stricken appearance.

The old man stayed on the front lines, so he must have known about his granddaughter's death long ago, but subconsciously rejected the outcome.

There are still more than a dozen missing persons whose identities have not been confirmed. They may very well be inside the carriage waiting to be hoisted on this bridge!

The old man's granddaughter is dead, but other people's children may still be waiting for them to save them!

Chen Shu made up his mind, gently patted the old man's withered hand, and couldn't bear to lie: "Old man, your granddaughter must be gone. I have to go save the others now."

The old man seemed to understand something, loosened his grip on her arm, and urged, "Go! Go! Go save them! Saving them is the most important thing!"

Ignoring Director Wang's obstruction, Chen Shu strode toward the commander.

"Sir! I strongly oppose using a crane to lower the damaged carriages off the bridge for rescue without conducting a search! Lives are at stake; the search and rescue operation must be carried out on the bridge first!"

He stood between the commander and Zhang Yang, his eyes clear and calm as he gazed at the highest-ranking commander on site.

His tone was resolute.

"You! You guys!"

The commander pointed his finger at the young policeman in front of him, this time too angry to speak.

A middle-aged man in a black jacket and white shirt standing nearby earnestly advised, "Officer Chen, we can understand that this young reporter is ignorant, but why are you coming over to join in the fun? The ministry has already given the order to open the road at six o'clock tonight."

The opening date has been communicated to the domestic media, and the media has also published the announcement. Do you think we can delay it? Do you think we dare to delay it? At that point, forget about the higher-ups; the public's condemnation alone would drown us!

After he finished speaking, several young men from the spaceship department surrounded him, and intentionally or unintentionally revealed the silver handcuffs that were originally hidden at their waists by their shirts.

Chen Shu looked up at the dilapidated carriage on the overpass, then turned to look at the old man standing not far behind, sighing.

He took a deep breath: "I disagree."

The atmosphere was almost tense.

A group of special police officers from Zhengming District are resting.

"Captain Xu! Captain Xu!" A special police officer from the First Squadron came running from a distance; his voice carried even before he arrived.

Xu Mingliang, who was sitting on the ground chatting with Zou Qing, the office clerk who had just arrived, jumped up and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"Cough cough."

The SWAT officer bent over, one hand on his knee, the other pointing towards the accident scene behind him: "Chen Da is arguing with the leaders of the spacecraft department! Many of them have surrounded him, but Chen Da is all alone!"

"in argument?"

Xu Mingliang was momentarily stunned. In his memory, this newly appointed deputy captain had always been a smiling man, and he never seemed like the type to argue with anyone.

The other party was a leader from the spacecraft department!

"This this"

Even Zou Qing's usually lively tone couldn't help but waver as she asked in a trembling voice, "What should we do?" "What a load of crap!" Upon hearing this, Chen Chuan, who had come over, dropped a sentence without hesitation and ran towards the accident scene.

Xu Mingliang was slightly taken aback, then turned and ran towards the Santana police car where Captain Li Da was.

"Li Da!"

Xu Mingliang opened the passenger door and shouted at Li Da, who was sleeping in the seat, "Chen Da and the people from the spaceship department are arguing! They might even be fighting now! He's all alone!"

Li Da, who had just closed his eyes, was startled and almost tumbled off the car. He staggered out and asked urgently, "What happened to Chen Shu? Who did he fight with?"

After listening to Xu Mingliang's account, Li Da's expression changed, his mood shifting rapidly.

This is the Spaceship Department, a top-tier department!

The direct superior of the spaceship department is the biggest boss among the big bosses!

As the captain of this brigade, he might not even have the same administrative rank as the other person's bodyguard when he stands in front of them!
"Damn it, we've been last place for the past few years anyway! What's the big deal?"

Li Da spat and strode towards the accident scene, shouting, "Xu Mingliang, quickly bring the brothers and follow me!"

Xu Mingliang knew immediately that the captain was going to go and support Chen Shu; only a trusted confidant could participate in such an occasion.

If the outcome is good, then they will all rise to heaven; if it is bad, then they will all go to hell.

Oh well, we're already in last place anyway.

As expected of the captain, he sees the problem very clearly!

Xu Mingliang suddenly realized something and hurriedly ran to the First Squadron's base to call for reinforcements. His men had been following him, Captain Xu, for so many years, it was time to show their true strength.

"First Company! Everyone, at your feet! March!"

This is the accident scene.

Chen Shu took a half step back, blocking Zhang Yang's path. Having known him for over half a year, he was aware of his friend's impulsive temperament.

He scanned the increasingly dense crowd around him and said in a deep voice, "I am Chen Shu, a police officer from the Zhengming District Special Police Brigade. What do you want?"

The commander pulled aside the others and walked up to Chen Shu. By now, he was much calmer and had regained the seriousness befitting a superior. He said:
"Officer Chen, this is originally a matter for our spaceship department, but you insist on interfering and obstructing it. This responsibility is too great; it's no longer a question of who should bear the burden. In the end, so many people will have to share the blame with you."

If the opening date is delayed, the efforts of thousands of people will be wasted.

Chen Shu frowned, stood silently for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "Can't we just delay the opening of the road?"

The commander shook his head: "There's no other way. This has already been announced. Our spacecraft division has had such a major accident; we can't let the public laugh at us anymore."

Chen Shu argued forcefully: "Is the time it takes to open the road necessarily more important than lives? If we truthfully explain the situation of the rescue efforts to the public, I believe they will understand."

The commander sneered: "Do you know how bad the online public opinion situation is right now? You're all too naive, living only in your own world. Young people, the world isn't that wonderful. I also want to slow down the repair work and reopen the road, I also want to slow down the search and rescue, but is that even possible?"

The crane was used first, followed by search and rescue. Some may think this approach is right, others wrong, and that's fine. However, this method wasn't invented specifically for this accident; it's always been done this way. Just look at the rescue records of previous spacecraft accidents, and you'll see!

Let me tell you, those online intellectuals are just waiting for us to make mistakes, then they'll attack us like vultures!

He paused, then smiled wryly, "It's difficult."
