Chapter 41 Mountain Fire

Li Wenhua's opposition was originally expected by the three of them.

The three of them did not have that kind of extravagant hope. Li Wenhua readily agreed after listening to his story and appeal. That was too unrealistic.

"Director Li, you can set a time for us. It doesn't need to be too long. Just let us go and check again. Anyway, the manpower and material resources are ready now, and it won't cost anything extra to check again. If it can be done,

If you find out something, isn’t that a profit?”

"We have been investigating for so long and invested so many resources in the early stage. If we just give up now, won't it be all in vain? If we investigate again, it won't consume much. Maybe we can recover the previous investment?"

"Director, we are not willing to give up like this. We are really not willing to give up."

"On average, more than 100 people disappear every year, which means more than 100 families."

Zhang Dingshan remained silent while He Wei and Lu Qingliang took turns to fight.

This is also a strategy that has been discussed before. After all, Zhang Dingshan has the status of captain, and it will not be easy for him to come forward directly. He Wei and Lu Qingliang have no such concerns.

"Sunk costs should not be the basis for future decisions."

Li Wenhua was not moved at all. He looked at Lu Qingliang and He Wei and said: "No matter how much we invested before, it was just a sunk cost. What we have to do now is to stop the loss. Stop the loss immediately. No more investment can be made."

More resources go into this bottomless pit.”

"But Lu Ming's speculation is very reasonable. This must be a trick of Organization X, just to prevent us from continuing the investigation."

"Li Chu, believe me, if we check again, there will definitely be clues!"

"This is the decision of the superiors." Li Wenhua refused again: "Even if you convince me, it will be useless. The director can't get through. Besides, there are still many incidents that need us to investigate. The manpower in the department is tight. Lu Ming's

Life is life, but other people’s lives are not life?”

"Li Chu, you are right. Everyone's life counts. We know this. We are about to find key clues in this matter. We are really unwilling to give up now."

"Li Chu, just give us some more time, we won't embarrass you."

"No, no."

Facing the two people's pleading, Li Wenhua just shook his head.

The two of them were talking with dry mouth, but Li Wenhua was not moved at all. In desperation, the two of them had no choice but to stop talking and looked at Zhang Dingshan.

Zhang Dingshan stood up.

"Director Li, give us one more week. Just one week. If nothing is found in this week, I will bear the responsibility. I will bear the punishment and I will report to the director."

At this moment, even with Li Wenhua's temper, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

He slammed the table suddenly and stood up: "Who is responsible for this? What a big statement, can you bear this responsibility?! This is the decision of the superior! It is a decision, not a suggestion!"

Zhang Dingshan's expression remained unchanged.

"Li Chu, I only need one week."

"You...you want to make me mad! I won't be the director anymore. Can you come and do it?"

Zhang Dingshan is still stubborn: "Just one week is enough."

"Zhang Dingshan! Last time I went to check the gene bank, you didn't listen to my advice. Yes, you did find something, but what if you didn't find it out? Have you thought about the consequences? You haven't paid the fine last time.

Pay it all, right? You feel good about having 70% of your salary deducted and fined every month, right? This time you dare to directly disobey your superiors’ orders, don’t you want to do it anymore?!”

Zhang Dingshan's expression remained firm: "If my superiors don't agree to continue the investigation, then I will resign and I will investigate on my own."

He Wei and Lu Qingliang raised their heads in shock.

"It's against the sky! It's against the sky!"

Li Wenhua was so angry that he yelled: "Are you threatening me? Do you think the earth will stop spinning without you? Are you threatening me with resignation?"

"I just want to continue investigating this case."

Li Wenhua panted heavily and glared at Zhang Dingshan fiercely. After a long time, he slowly sat down. After another long time, he said: "The investigation of this case must be stopped."

Um?

Lu Qingliang noticed that Li Wenhua's tone seemed to have changed.

His brain was racing at this moment. Combined with the previous special research on Li Wenhua's character - this is the material that he, who is responsible for the logistics work, must master. Only in this way can he win enough for the second action team in the department.

Support, he vaguely noticed something.

In the blink of an eye, he suddenly said: "Yes, yes, this case must be investigated."

He Wei looked at him in surprise. Then she saw Lu Qingliang continue: "It's just that, Li Chu, you also know that this case is more complicated. There are still some things that are not clear about the place where the mountain god worships. That...

...Yes, the finishing work will also take some time, probably, about a week?"

Zhang Dingshan was silent and didn't say a word. He Wei, as if his soul was blessed, understood something in an instant, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, we will stop the investigation of the case now. This is the finishing work, one week, just one week, I guarantee it can be completed

.”

Li Wenhua's face was still full of anger, but there was a very hidden admiration in his eyes when he looked at Lu Qingliang.

His tone was still serious.

"I will report to my superiors and ensure that the follow-up finishing work will be completed within a week. You must pay attention to it, take it seriously, and ensure that it is completed as scheduled with quality and quantity!"

"yes!"

"Don't worry, Li Chu, I promise to complete the mission!"

"At the sociology experimental base, we must appease the people's emotions and never cause any more trouble!"

Li Wenhua looked at Lu Qingliang again.

He has always been responsible for this matter.

Before this, several people had discussed whether to end the sociological experiment at this stage and let people go home directly. However, after comprehensive consideration, Zhang Dingshan rejected this idea.

There are too many uncontrollable factors. Letting them leave now may give Organization

Just stick to it for a week.

Now, all this pressure is on Lu Qingliang.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Li Chu, I will definitely do a good job of comforting you!"

Zhang Dingshan let out a sigh of relief.

"Is everything okay? Let's go? Do you still want to eat at my place?"

Li Wenhua's tone was very bad.

Zhang Dingshan gently bent towards Li Wenhua and said solemnly: "Li Chu, thank you."

He understood that this time it was still the same as the last time. Li Wenhua did not put the responsibility on himself, but took it on his behalf.

"Go, go, go, go, go, don't let me see you again."

Li Wenhua waved his hands repeatedly, chasing away the three of them like flies. Zhang Dingshan turned around and walked out with He Wei and Lu Qingliang.

As soon as the door closed, He Wei was filled with emotion: "Lao Li is a good man."

Zhang Dingshan ignored it and looked at Lu Qingliang.

"Are you sure?"

Lu Qingliang smiled bitterly and said: "If you're not sure, you have to bite the bullet. Anyway, leave this to me. You go quickly and save time."

"Let's go back quickly."

Zhang Dingshan and He Wei returned to the command center as quickly as possible. Seeing Zhang Dingshan's figure, the person in charge of those who assisted the second operation team in carrying out the search mission immediately came up.

"We have received orders from our superiors to continue to assist you in the follow-up finishing tasks until 0:00 on June 25."

At this moment, there are still almost 150 hours, about 6 and a half days, before the deadline.

"Thanks."

Walking into the tent, under Lu Ming's expectant eyes, Zhang Dingshan told Lu Ming the exciting news. But what followed was heavy pressure.

There are only 6 and a half days left.

This is truly the last chance. If you can't seize it this time, you will really have no chance.

After all, there are two times, not three times. Zhang Dingshan has asked Li Wenhua for help twice for this matter. If he does it a third time, it will not only be inappropriate, but Li Wenhua himself may not be able to withstand the pressure from his superiors.

"I will find the real place where the mountain gods worship."

Lu Mingman said these words firmly.

After that, the search operation was once again launched in full swing. Lu Ming once again showed full concentration, forgetting to eat and sleep, and devoted himself to this work.

Not only did he continue to conduct field exploration, he also devoted more energy to reading ancient books, as well as collecting, organizing, analyzing, and thinking about clues. He also dragged Huang Weimin in.

Often late at night, Huang Weimin had to accompany Lu Ming to search for clues. Just a few hours after falling asleep, he was woken up by Lu Ming and once again plunged into the world of books and electronic documents.

This caused Huang Weimin to develop dark circles under his eyes in just two days, and he began to complain endlessly.
