Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 154 Before the Storm ([-])

A few days later, Deng Zhongyuan paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

His daughter's door has been locked by him.

It may be that the sound insulation effect of the room is too good, or it may be that the other party did not make any movement, and there was no movement from behind the door.

There is a model toy on the table. The alloy hull is not damaged in any way, only some of the "paint" on it is peeled off.

Deng Zhongyuan picked up and put down his mobile phone, not knowing what decision to make for a moment.

However, in the end, after walking around, he walked to the safe in the room by accident.

After entering the password, he took out the pistol inside, opened the safety of the pistol, lifted up his clothes, and inserted it into his waist.

After making all preparations, he picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Police Officer, are you free now?"

"Mr. Governor, please wait a moment, I will come right away."

After saying that, Hou Dexun hung up the phone, then immediately put down the work at hand, went downstairs and drove to the governor's residence.

The two sat again at the table from last time.

"You are right."

After a long time, Deng Zhongyuan looked at the policeman in front of him who had been pursuing this matter and said with complicated emotions.

Although Hou Dexun had already guessed this possibility, his fists under the table could not help but clenched together.

In a nutshell, you are right.

And what does such a simple sentence mean behind it?

The way the little girl smiled at him that day was still fresh in his memory, but at this moment, the picture was like a piece of broken glass, shattering with a bang, and he couldn't help but feel his heart twisting.

"Yan, is it serious?"

Hou Dexun's voice was trembling, and he tried to suppress his almost uncontrollable emotions and spoke as calmly as possible.

Deng Zhongyuan took a sip of tea and seemed not to want to answer the question, so he kept silent.

Hou Dexun's hands were completely clasped together, and he couldn't restrain his emotions and shouted excitedly: "We must report it as soon as possible to expel these companies..."

As he said that, Hou Dexun suddenly found that the governor's reaction was a bit abnormal, he was too calm.

And when he said that he wanted to drive the other party away and report it, the Governor did not respond immediately.

"Mr. Governor, you..."

Hou Dexun took a step back, having a bad suspicion in his mind.

Deng Zhongyuan put the tea cup back on the table, and the other hand under the table kept digging its nails into his thigh.

It seems that only in this way can I make up my mind at this moment.

"Officer Hou, it turns out that I have the same idea as you."

Then, Deng Zhongyuan sent a file to the other party's mobile phone.

When the phone beeped, Hou Dexun immediately picked up his phone and checked the file sent by the other party.

"Recently, the number of people dying from heart disease has increased dozens of times. Do you know this?"

Deng Zhongyuan said suddenly.

Hou Dexun looked at the list of names above, and many of them were people that Hou Dexun had caught with his own hands.

Hou Dexun became more emotional, "That proves that this kind of drug can kill people, and we need immediate intervention from above."

"Intervention, how to intervene?"

Deng Zhongyuan's eyes suddenly turned cold when he looked at him.

"Evict the other party's company and then detox all of us?"

"Yes, is there any problem? Do you still have to let..."

When Hou Dexun saw the other party's indifferent expression, he became even more angry and slammed the table. "Those who died of heart problems had all their bank accounts empty."

Deng Zhongyuan just stated calmly.

In an instant, Hou Dexun suddenly felt that everything was connected.

He stumbled a few steps without confidence and sat back on the chair. The expression on his face gradually changed from anger to disbelief.

He also remembered that the prisoner he caught grabbing toys that day also died of a heart attack.

"You want to say that if you forcefully detoxify, you will die..."

Hou Dexun still seemed unable to accept this fact.

But, he believed it.

Because the criminal caught that day died like this.

But he then said: "Should we just let the other party continue? In the end, everyone will still die! And more people will die! After all, if the higher ups intervene, we may not be able to do anything."

"Didn't you already try it?"

Deng Zhongyuan said calmly, and the other party's calmness at this moment made Hou Dexun feel a chill on his back.

"Our testing agency cannot detect it. This means that the other party's biotechnology is several levels higher than ours, so there is no way."

After a pause, Deng Zhongyuan continued.

"If I were at the top, I would directly drive the other party out and cut off the current source of drugs. Then all those who are already addicted will be locked up for drug rehabilitation."

"Then I found that I didn't have the technology. Drug addiction would mean death. At that time, it was impossible for the country to actively purchase drugs from the other party to maintain the lives of these people. So the final result was to cut the knot quickly and let drug addicts fend for themselves."

"But even so, the current proportion of drug abuse has not reached an irreversible point. If we continue to let it go, the wealth of the entire planet will be sucked dry by the other party, and then all of us will still die!"

Hou Dexun said excitedly.

"Yes, you will die if you take drugs for a long time, and you will die if you stop taking drugs now. So, do you want to die now?"

Deng Zhongyuan looked at each other.

Hou Dexun felt that the other party was simply unreasonable and it was not too late to remedy the situation. If he continued to do nothing, he would only drag the entire planet into the abyss!

"Okay, governor, since you don't want to report the situation, then I'll go to Earth myself, and I'll go directly to find..."

With that said, Hou Dexun no longer wanted to talk nonsense with the other party.

Neither of them wanted to report it, either because they had no evidence or because they were too concerned about this and that.

Now that the situation has been confirmed, we should ignore everything and discuss the matter first.

People will be sent to investigate the evidence and so on, so they don't have to worry about it here.

Hou Dexun didn't want to talk anymore and turned to leave.

"Crack."

The sound of bullets being loaded.

Hou Dexun was stunned for a moment, turned around, and then saw that the kind-hearted Governor had already taken out a loaded pistol and pointed it at the back of his head.

"Officer Hou, I have no choice. Please stop investigating this matter, let alone report it to the superiors, otherwise, I will kill you first."

Deng Zhongyuan raised his gun and looked at the other party coldly.

Hou Dexun was stunned. He had never thought that one day he would be in this situation when someone aimed a gun at him.

He never thought that the Governor would kill him.

"Don't blame me, I have no way out..."

Although Deng Zhongyuan's hand holding the gun was trembling, his expression was extremely firm.

He has made up his mind on this matter. Once the other party insists on going to Earth, he will immediately pull the trigger.
