This city simulation game can affect reality.

Longding Mountain, the location of the supervisory team.

"Comrade leader, you must stand up for us!"

"My poor nephew had both legs broken by people from the chemical plant."

"My husband was injured at the factory, and we haven't received a single penny of compensation yet."

Their presentations were clear and their tone was calm and composed, suggesting they had received guidance from some professionals.

After recounting his ordeal, he stood obediently in place, refusing to utter any unnecessary sounds.

As expected, a short while later, a man in an executive jacket walked out of the door and said in a gentle tone:

"Fellow villagers, please be patient. The task force has heard your requests and will not let this go unpunished."

"Now everyone, come with me to the meeting room. Every word you say will be recorded, and once verified, it will be dealt with seriously according to the law."

"Please trust us, we will definitely give you a fair and just answer."

The man was very sincere, and the solutions he offered were practical, not just perfunctory.

This completely dispelled the last trace of doubt in the hearts of everyone present.

"It seems that the one who has returned this time is indeed a just and upright official!" someone in the crowd said in a trembling voice.

"Comrade leader, we will all listen to you."

Led by the man, the villagers walked into the settlement with their backs straight.

However, if Zhao Ze were present, he would have noticed that Uncle Lin, who had been wronged for many years, was not in the group.

......

Meanwhile, the entire internet was in an uproar.

A news item about "exposing serious violations of discipline and law by a chemical plant in Nandu City" spread rapidly online and, after several hours of dissemination, topped the trending search lists on multiple platforms.

If it were just an individual report or a separate report by some self-media, it would never have caused such a big stir in such a short period of time.

This exposure was a joint statement from multiple authoritative media outlets, coupled with the rapid reposting by some well-known and insightful online influencers.

It's difficult to suppress the matter.

The first to speak out was the Yunzhou Daily, widely recognized as the most authoritative media outlet in Yunzhou Prefecture.

The report not only covers all the illegal activities of Xinglong Chemical Plant since 2013, but also provides multi-dimensional evidence including photos, inspection reports, and call records.

The sheer number of people involved, the vast amount of information, and the irrefutable evidence...

Such a clear and complete bombshell is extremely rare in the entire history of the Internet.

Because the events are presented in a well-organized manner, even though the article is quite long, most readers are able to read it patiently.

And within hours of the news spreading, bloggers immediately edited a data-saving version.

Then, various self-media outlets began to express their opinions from different perspectives.

And all sorts of busybodies trying to ride the wave.

"It's 2025 already, how can something like this still happen?"

"I've time-traveled? Why does this feel like I'm seeing news from the last century?"

"Severely punish them! They must be severely punished! We must give the public a reasonable explanation."

Public sentiment was instantly aroused, and the outcry against the chemical plant was like a vast ocean, instantly overwhelming the internet.

Based on past patterns, when the spread of an event reaches a certain threshold, dissenting voices will inevitably emerge.

For example, arguments like "Don't rush to take sides, wait for the official announcement" or "There are too many reversals on the internet, don't comment without knowing the whole story."

This time, however, the evidence was so overwhelming that, coupled with information from informed netizens that the chemical plant was already embroiled in an illegal discharge scandal, that not a single dissenting voice could be found on the entire internet.

Even bloggers who used to "sing a different tune" for entertainment purposes no longer try to attract attention as they usually do.

Even Chen Jun, who was quietly overseeing everything from his office, was somewhat taken aback by this outcome.

His original plan was to expose the matter as far as possible outside of Nandu; as long as the higher-ups saw it, he would consider it a great success.

But now, not only in Yunzhou, but throughout all of China, people know that there is such a ruthless company on Longding Mountain in Nandu.

......

......

Longding Mountain, inside a private villa near a chemical plant.

Because of the recent arrival of the supervisory team, Fang You hasn't even had time to go back to his home in the center of Nandu City.

He was sitting on a sun lounger by the swimming pool, his body trembling and his face contorted in extreme pain.

The moment his secretary called, he knew he was completely finished.

"Who did it...who did it?"

Even at this moment, Fang You's first reaction was still to seek revenge.

He muttered to himself, somewhat absentmindedly, then picked up his phone and dialed two numbers.

One call was to his wife.

The other call was to his mother.

After giving his final instructions, he seemed to have lost all his soul.

He lay sprawled on the ground for a while before, as if suddenly realizing something, he staggered to his feet and walked toward the garage in the backyard.

"This isn't over yet... I still have a chance... I still have a chance..."

Muttering words of self-comfort, Fang You practically tumbled and crawled into the car.

Before the engine could even be started, police sirens could be heard from afar.

His fingers gripped the car keys tightly, and after only a moment's hesitation, he seemed to have made up his mind.

Ignite the engine and shift gears.

"Bang!"

Before the car even started, Fang You felt a tremendous force coming from the back of his head.

His forehead slammed heavily onto the steering wheel, and he turned around in surprise.

A man stood outside the car window, staring intently at him.

"You...it's you?" Fang You looked at Lin Shanhe in horror.

Without giving him any time to react, the next second, Lin Shanhe smashed the half-open car window with the hammer in his hand, forcibly pulled Fang You out of the car, and threw him to the ground like trash.

"How...how did you get in?"

"You don't need to know that."

"You want to kill me? Murder is illegal."

The moment he uttered those words, Fang You himself found it laughable.

But he couldn't care less about that now; all he wanted was to survive.

Lin Shanhe gripped the iron hammer in his hand, his face filled with extreme hatred.

He could have had a happy old age, but this damned bastard in front of him caused his family to be destroyed.

Thinking of his deceased wife and children, Lin Shanhe's anger intensified. He stared at Fang You's refined yet depraved face and slowly raised the iron hammer in his hand.

"The police...yes, the police are on their way. If you kill me, you won't live past today!"

The other party said that the distant police sirens sounded like heavenly music at that moment.

"My heart died the day my son was buried."

Lin Shanhe sneered. He hadn't expected that even at this point, the other party would think he was afraid of dying.

He swung the hammer into the air and then exerted force downwards.

"Thump!"
