Chapter 92: Collapse
The sudden easing atmosphere in the conference room made President Shi's face look a little ugly again. It would be fine if it was just Dong Ning. Now even Bai Miao showed a safe expression. Although Chen Yue mentioned that the Siren tribe was no longer a threat, he realized that it was far beyond the Siren.
He saw that the employees' trust in him was rapidly losing, and all the lost trust was transferred to Gu Yun - even the executive director was no exception.
These people seem to sincerely believe that Gu Yun’s own strength can be enough to solve the complex situation brought about by today’s disaster.
Sometimes, the real threat does not come from foreign enemies.
"Let me go back and ask Lao Gu when he has time, and I'll get a few bottles of good wine to find him."
When talking about natural disasters, Dong Ning didn't say a word, but as soon as the topic changed to the card game, he immediately became furious, as if he had finally found a battlefield suitable for him.
"It should be possible these two nights. Take me one to play cards. I am very strong in fighting Landlords now."
In recent meetings, Chen Yue quietly passed the time through Doudizhu.
The two of them talked as if no one else had happened to make the atmosphere in the conference room happy.
"Precautions for the occasion."
President Shi coughed lightly and said coldly.
"President Shi, since Lao Gu is back, it's foolproof. Recently, everyone works overtime every day, and I think there's nothing wrong with taking a vacation now."
Dong Ning said lightly without caring about President Shi's increasingly bad face, "I won this wave. Since I won by myself, there is no need to pretend to make myself look like a key role."
Many people present heard something in Dong Ning's words. He was also one of the first S-class employees who opposed the ban. More than once he proposed at the meeting that he should start to solve the problems caused by the demons first. However, every suggestion was denied by President Shi as a "situation" issue.
In fact, there are many S-level employees who are dissatisfied with the ban.
When this city needs S-class employees the most, as S-class employees, they stay in the basement of the branch where they are not visible all day, as if they are the ones who need to be strictly protected.
In contrast, even the arrogant S-class employees have to admit that Gu Yun's efficient and practical style is in line with their imagination of the highest combat power.
No wonder the X City Branch had already vaguely set off its own business some time ago.
"The ban does not allow S-level employees to take action at will. I should not have violated the ban when I go to play cards with my friends, right?"
Facing Dong Ning's question, President Shi gritted his teeth and said nothing. He seemed to have agreed to Dong Ning's question in this unwilling way.
"Let's go, Chen Yue, I'm not very familiar with City X, please take me to buy some good wine."
Seeing that President Shi did not raise any objections, Dong Ning immediately left the conference room with a smile, leaving the S-level employees looking at each other. The people who stayed in the conference room did not say a word. They all understood in their hearts that Dong Ning was expressing his dissatisfaction and was also an open resistance to the president.
The foundation, which was originally not as solid as a rock, was completely shaken by Gu Yun's return.
The silence became very long until Bai Miaozhi got up and said in her cold tone as usual, "If there is nothing else, I still have a lot of work."
While talking, she looked at President Shi and saw that the latter had no reaction like a wooden man, so she walked out of the conference room without looking back.
With Bai Miao taking the lead, the remaining S-level employees did not want to continue to experience the awkward atmosphere here. In less than a minute, only President Shi and Fang Yao, who was always following him in the huge conference room.
"President..."
When the conference room returned to silence, Fang Yao looked at the empty actions. As President Shi's personal secretary, she knew that none of the materials prepared in advance today were useful, or that the moment Shen Yue spoke, these materials lost their meaning. The problems they were cautious and dared not face were solved by a foundation's non-staff staff without any knowledge.
At present, Gu Yun's high efficiency is like adding insult to injury to President Shi.
“You have become more and more conservative in recent years.”
After hesitating for a long time, Fang Yao finally said what he was in his heart.
President Shi was kind to her, and she hoped to remind the other party in a relatively tactful way.
However, before he finished speaking, Fang Yao suddenly frowned and immediately grabbed the handle of the knife tied to the hem of the maid's dress with his right hand.
A twisted human body emerged from the mahogany table in front of President Shi, and what caught his eye was a familiar figure - a few weeks ago, both sides were allies in the joint confrontation alliance, but this nominal ally allowed them to act as cannon fodder before the final battle.
The figure did not speak, and left an envelope on the table and disappeared without a trace.
When President Shi's eyes turned to the envelope with a calm look, it finally shone with some brilliance. This scene naturally did not escape Fang Yao's observation. She watched President Shi hurriedly pick up the envelope, put it in her pocket quietly, and then loosened the hand on the hilt of the knife without any effort. Only a faint sigh was left in the lonely conference room.

Meanwhile, a motel.
The motel was parked with second-hand cars that looked dilapidated. The hotel, which was originally not very business, is now crowded. When Gu Yun arrived at the agreed location, he saw the witch hunters gathered in front of the first floor of the hotel, wiping silver swords and guns. The remaining fast food packaging bags were everywhere. It was obvious that they had not been staying here for the first day.
Seeing Gu Yun, an uninvited guest, the witch hunters all expressed their vigilant eyes to him.
In their opinion, this is a city with demons dancing around.
Evil spirits are everywhere, demons are horizontal, and the Siren clan and the witch association are also taking root and sprouting on this land. Before they come to City X, it is hard for them to imagine that there is such a dangerous city in this world.
It is hard for them to imagine how the people in City X survived this ubiquitous crisis.
Gu Yun searched around the parking lot in front of the motel, and finally parked in front of a gray car with a hole in the window. He found the license plate number in the information. He found a name from the address book and called the phone.
The phone rang three times and then connected.
"Hey, Spero? Yes, I've arrived, right next to your car now... Well, you get down, I'll wait for you."
Within a minute, a witch hunter wearing a black windbreaker and looking very vicissitudes walked down from the building. When the witch hunters around him saw him, they all showed admiration.
The witch hunter looked straight towards Gu Yun without looking sideways.
He took out the car keys, and the headlights of the worn-out sedan flashed several times.
Gu Yun opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. After Sperot took his seat, he immediately asked, "I heard that you are hunting demons recently. How much do you know about them?"
