Chapter 479: Chapter 479

Shi Wang was slightly dumbfounded when he saw this video.

In the video, both he and Mayor Qian were recorded very clearly, with several close-ups of their facial expressions included.

Having been filmed this closely without noticing, Shi Wang truly wondered how the person had managed to record this video.

"This is the evidence you wanted," Secretary-General You said to Shi Wang, "What else can you say now?" The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

By now, Shi Wang really had nothing more to say. The video was shot so clearly that any further arguing would be futile.

"The mutated smallpox virus in Dancheng was indeed released by me," said Shi Wang in a very calm tone.

By now, Shi Wang could see that saying anything more was useless, so he simply admitted it.

"For the sake of your own selfish desires, you released such a large-scale virus, causing a massive epidemic..." Mu Jianjun stood up, looking seriously at Shi Wang.

Shi Wang slightly raised the corners of his mouth. "So what? 'A single success must cost many bones; it has always been so. Just a few people died, it's no big deal."

The expressions on everyone's faces turned sour after hearing Shi Wang's words.

Previously, the mutated smallpox virus had spread throughout the city, infecting over thirty thousand people, and more than five hundred had died. So many had perished, and yet, Shi Wang merely quoted, 'A single success must cost many bones!'

"Shi Wang, it seems you still do not realize the need for reflection. Heaven's net is wide, sparing nothing; today, I shall bring you to justice!"

Mu Jianjun spoke vehemently.

After Mu Jianjun finished speaking, two policemen had already approached Shi Wang, handcuffs in hand.

"Shi Wang, the state has educated and trusted you for so many years, yet you have done such a thing," said Sun Zhongren, standing nearby.

Everyone present knew that Sun Zhongren was the first one Shi Wang had promoted after taking office. Previously, Sun Zhongren was just a minor office head, but now he was the deputy director of the municipal government's office.

Now, Sun Zhongren standing up was not to support Shi Wang. It was clear to everyone that this was Sun Zhongren showing his stance to his new master, Mu Jianjun.

In the bureaucratic arena, changes are rapid and one might step into the abyss in a moment of carelessness.

Although nobody respected Sun Zhongren's actions, no one condemned him either, as sometimes, interests trump everything.

"We must fight to the end against officials like Shi Wang who wreak havoc."

"We stand with Mayor Mu!"...

Soon, the entire meeting room echoed with voices of defection.

Shi Wang watched everything coldly as the two policemen approached him and were about to handcuff his wrists when he stopped them.

Although Shi Wang was now powerless, he had once been the acting mayor of Dancheng, and the two policemen did indeed stop in their tracks.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Secretary-General You stood out. "The order to suspend and investigate you came from the top leader in the province; don't harbor any delusions."

Upon hearing Sun Zhongren's words, Shi Wang snorted coldly. "My fate is in my own hands, not determined by others! You don't get to decide my fate."

Even now, Shi Wang remained defiant!

"You no longer have any leverage; you are a gambler who has lost it all!" Mu Jianjun stepped forward and said.

"Whether I've truly lost it all is yet to be determined," said Shi Wang, looking around. "Just now, Secretary-General You has updated everyone here about the statistics you've all heard. Last time, the mutated smallpox virus infected thirty thousand people, and over five hundred perished."

Everyone watched Shi Wang, not understanding what he was getting at.

Shi Wang continued. "I am pleased to tell you all that I have brought something new this time... And that is a mutated plague virus!"

A mutated plague virus!

After hearing Shi Wang's words, everyone fell silent.

The memory of the previous smallpox mutation was still fresh, and now Shi Wang had created a mutated plague virus!

Shi Wang laughed cruelly. "The destructive and contagious power of this mutated plague virus will be a hundred times, a thousand times greater than the smallpox mutation! I believe that within a month, the entire Yahuan State will be shadowed under the devastation of the mutated plague virus!"

A mutated plague virus, a hundred times more destructive!

At this moment, everyone's faces turned pale. Wasn't Mu Jianjun suspended precisely because he couldn't contain the smallpox virus?

"Qian Shiwang, you are making enemies with humanity! Do you realize that?" Mu Jianjun said.

"So what?" Qian Shiwang said and then snorted coldly, "Still the same old saying, 'A general achieves fame over the dead bodies of ten thousand soldiers...'"

"Arrest him for me!" Secretary-General You shouted at the two police officers.

"Think it through. If you arrest me, then there will be no one left to suppress this plague mutation virus. Then, how many of you present here will be able to survive? Or should I say, how many of your loved ones will survive?" Qian Shiwang said this with a fearless smirk as he took out a cigarette and calmly lit it.

The people at the scene looked at each other.

If the plague mutation virus was really as terrifying as Qian Shiwang described, the consequences would indeed be very severe. A small case of mutated smallpox virus had already claimed the lives of over five hundred people, not to mention this even more formidable plague mutation virus.

"Looks like you think you've already won..." Just then, the conference room door opened, and a group of people walked in.

The speaker was a young man just over twenty, accompanied personally by Governor Liang Shouyu.

Suddenly, everyone was guessing the identity of the young man. Not just anyone could enter the government conference room, especially escorted personally by the Governor.

While others did not recognize the young man, Tian Li next to him did. If it wasn't Ding Fan, who else could it be?!

Seeing that Ding Fan had entered with the Governor, Tian Li felt a surge of excitement.

At this moment, he was thankful; following someone like Ding Fan was simply the best decision he had ever made in his life.

Not long after he declared his allegiance to Ding Fan, he had jumped from being the office director of the city government to the position of deputy mayor. Who else but Ding Fan could have facilitated such a promotion?

"Qian Shiwang, even now it's not too late for you to repent; otherwise, your charges will only keep increasing," Governor Liang Shouyu stepped out and said.

Seeing the Governor appear, a flicker of unease crossed Qian Shiwang's face.

"You can't arrest me, I have the vaccine that suppresses the plague mutation virus! Without me, who knows how many people will die!" Qian Shiwang said.

Ding Fan scoffed. He then casually took out a test tube that contained a pale blue liquid.

"This is the vaccine prototype that Yuanfang Group has been developing all this time."

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Qian Shiwang's face grew extremely gloomy.

Not many knew about Yuanfang Group's involvement, and even fewer knew that Yuanfang Group was helping him develop the vaccine!

"You... you are bluffing me!" Qian Shiwang looked at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan spoke indifferently, "You are welcome to call someone from Yuanfang Group and ask."

Qian Shiwang hesitated, then, feeling somewhat guilty, he picked up the phone. After all, the vaccine was his last asset; he couldn't afford to ignore it.

After he dialed the number, someone quickly answered.

"Mayor Qian, why did you only pick up now... wuu wuu... it's all over... we're all doomed..." a crying voice came through the phone.

"What are you crying about, what has happened? Speak up! Where is your boss, Jin Guangtai?" Qian Shiwang couldn't focus on anything else at the moment.

"The entire Yuanfang Group has been taken control of by the military, President Jing Guangtai has been taken away by the military, and the freshly developed vaccine has been taken away... Mayor Qian, what do we do now? Are we done for..."

Qian Shiwang's arms dropped weakly, and his phone fell to the ground. As the person on the phone kept talking, Qian Shiwang no longer paid attention.

Qian Shiwang looked at the pale blue glass test tube in Ding Fan's hand.

Suddenly, Qian Shiwang burst into mad laughter. "Even if you have the vaccine, what can you do? The virus has already been released. Even if you start producing the vaccine now, it will never meet the demand in time. Millions will die from this plague, dying together with me. It's worth it!"

Ding Fan scoffed from the side. "It seems you still don't understand the situation."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands towards the door.

As soon as Ding Fan finished clapping, Qian **** slowly walked into the room from outside.

"Qian ****?!" Qian Shiwang's eyes widened. "You... how are you here?"

Qian **** walked into the conference room, and upon seeing Qian Shiwang, rushed up and unleashed a Great Flying Kick. Qian Shiwang hadn't even realized what was happening before he was kicked to the ground.

"You... are you crazy!" Qian Shiwang looked at Qian **** and shouted.

"I'm going to kill you!" Qian **** said ferociously to Qian Shiwang...
