After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 263 Three Conditions

That night, the entire city of Beijing was in an uproar because of the Qinglong Reservoir incident.

The news of the reservoir being haunted spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the city.

"Have you heard? The water in Qinglong Reservoir has turned blood red!"

"Absolutely! My relatives live over there, and they say the resentment is palpable; many people have seen ghosts!"

"Oh my god, what about our drinking water? Will it be contaminated too?"

"What are you afraid of? Isn't there Bureau 749? They've all gone; they'll definitely be able to handle it."

"What's so special about Bureau 749? I heard that Mr. Shen went there too!"

"Mr. Shen? The Mr. Shen from the Zhaoxi River incident?"

"Yes! It's him! With him here, everything will be alright!"

The story spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and became increasingly bizarre.

But unlike the Zhaoxi River incident last time, this time, although everyone was panicked, they were somewhat more at ease.

Because everyone knew that Mr. Shen had arrived.

Last time, Mr. Shen easily resolved such a big issue as the Zhaoxi River incident.

This time it will definitely be fine too.

So, although some people still rushed to the supermarket to grab bottled water, the order was much better than last time.

Most people remained calm, continuing to go to work and buy groceries as usual.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for good news from Mr. Shen about resolving the issue.

……

In the conference room of the city government building.

An emergency meeting was held all night.

The city leaders all looked solemn, but they didn't seem flustered.

Because Lin Jianguo had already informed them that Mr. Shen had arrived at the scene and the matter would be resolved soon.

The leaders present have all heard of Mr. Shen's name.

They all knew about what happened at Zhaoxi River.

That Mr. Shen is truly a very capable person.

With him around, there's nothing to worry about.

"How's the situation? Any updates on the reservoir?" the municipal party secretary asked.

"I just received a message from Director Lin saying that Mr. Shen has contained his resentment and it will not spread further."

A deputy mayor replied, "Mr. Shen will take action to resolve the issue first thing tomorrow morning."

"Great." The municipal party secretary nodded, letting out a sigh of relief. "With Mr. Shen here, we can rest assured."

"Yes," another leader added.

"Last time, Mr. Shen handled such a big situation at Zhaoxi River with ease, didn't he? This time will definitely be no problem either."

"That's right, with Mr. Shen taking charge, what is there to worry about?"

Everyone echoed their agreement, their voices filled with confidence in Shen Yu.

No one doubted Shen Yu's abilities.

After all, the facts speak for themselves.

"By the way, Director Lin said that Mr. Shen has raised several conditions that require the cooperation of our municipal government," the deputy mayor said.

"What are the conditions? Tell me," the municipal party secretary said.

"First, afterward, a memorial monument to the compatriots who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan should be built by the Qinglong Reservoir."

"To commemorate the more than 3,000 civilians massacred by the Japanese army, their names will be engraved on the monument," the deputy mayor said.

"Compatriots who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan?" Everyone was stunned for a moment. "There's such a thing under the reservoir?"

"Director Lin said he'll explain the specifics to us in more detail later," the deputy mayor said.

"But I think Mr. Shen's condition is very reasonable. More than 3,000 compatriots have been submerged for decades, and it's time to give them an explanation."

"That's right." The municipal party secretary nodded.

"We agree to this condition. Not only will we build it, but we will build it well, in a solemn and dignified manner. The best designers, the best materials, money is not a problem."

"Yes." The deputy mayor wrote it down.

"Secondly, there was a traitor named Chu Ergou who led the Japanese army to massacre those civilians. His grandson, Chu Tianxiang, was the mastermind behind this incident."

The crimes committed by this grandfather and grandson must be fully exposed to the public so that everyone knows.

The deputy mayor continued.

"Traitor?" Everyone's faces darkened.

Such traitors who sell out their country for personal gain are the most despicable.

"Of course," the municipal party secretary said coldly.

"Not only should they be made public, but they should also be nailed to the pillar of historical shame and cursed by people for generations to come!"

Let everyone know what the consequences are for those who act as traitors!

"Third, the government should properly resettle the victims' families and the affected villagers in the surrounding area, and provide them with reasonable compensation and relief."

"That's what the deputy mayor said."

"Of course," the municipal party secretary said.

"We will do this without Mr. Shen having to say it."

As for the victims' families, they should be compensated and resettled as appropriate. They should absolutely not be allowed to suffer any injustice.

The surrounding villagers should also receive appropriate compensation.

"Okay, I've got it." The deputy mayor nodded.

"Just these three conditions?" the municipal party secretary asked.

"Just these three," the deputy mayor said.

"Not many." The municipal party secretary nodded.

"We agree to all three conditions."

Tell Director Lin that Mr. Shen can proceed with confidence and that the municipal government will fully cooperate.

We'll provide manpower, money, and goods as needed—absolutely no ambiguity.

"Yes!" the deputy mayor replied immediately.

The meeting ended quickly.

Everyone was very confident.

With Mr. Shen involved, this matter will surely be resolved satisfactorily.

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Shen Yu came out of the tent.

After a night of meditation and rest, he was in excellent condition and full of energy.

"Mr. Shen, you're awake?" Lin Jianguo quickly came forward, his attitude respectful. "How was your rest?"

"It's alright." Shen Yu nodded. "What did they say about the city?"

"I've agreed to everything!" Lin Jianguo said with a smile.

"The city has agreed to all three conditions you raised! The Party Secretary said you can proceed with confidence and the municipal government will fully cooperate!"

"Hmm." Shen Yu nodded and didn't say anything more.

He walked to the edge of the reservoir, looking at the dark red water with a calm expression.

Overnight, the resentment in the reservoir accumulated to a peak.

The water churned even more violently, bubbling and gurgling like boiling blood.

However, the golden light shield that Shen Yu had set up remained firmly on top, without moving an inch.

Lin Jianguo stood behind him, looking at the thin golden light shield, and was filled with admiration.

This single layer of light shield was able to block such a heavy amount of resentment.

Mr. Shen's strength is terrifying.

"Mr. Shen, may we begin now?" Lin Jianguo asked cautiously.

Shen Yu looked up at the sky.

The eastern sky was already turning a pale white, and the sun was about to rise.

"That's about it." Shen Yu nodded.

"Have everyone step back, back a kilometer away. No one is to come near without my order."

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!" Lin Jianguo said immediately.

He turned around and gave an order to the people behind him:

"Listen up, everyone! Retreat immediately, at least one kilometer away! No one is allowed to approach without Mr. Shen's orders! Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with according to military law!"
