Chapter 874: Investigation

Five days later, on July 21, after the arduous efforts of the garrison and the flood prevention people, the collapse of nearly 200 meters wide on the north bank of Jinshan Lake was successfully blocked. At this time, the military region mobilized a division of troops and tens of thousands of migrant workers to station in Jinshan Lake, fighting floods and rescue on the Yinma River bank embankment to ensure the safety of the lake embankment and river embankment.

During this period, Zhang Ke was seriously overdrawn. He had a low fever on the 19th. He took some medicine but didn't take it seriously. The day the bruise was successfully blocked and ran to the dike to see the situation. Zhai Danqing accidentally bumped into someone and fell into the lake. Zhang Ke and Fu Jun rushed to jump down and rescue Zhai Danqing. Zhai Danqing was fine. Zhang Ke had not changed his wet clothes immediately, and he had a high fever at night and fell into a coma.

Fu Jun and Zhai Danqing didn't dare to listen to Zhang Ke's words and let him stay in Jinshan, and told Liang Gezhen, who had been staying in Xinwu.

Liang Gezhen was so anxious that she jumped straight into Xinwu. The railways from Jianye to Jinshan were flooded. She could not rush to Jinshan for herself at this urgent moment to call military helicopters. Besides, her husband Zhang Zhixing was desperate to fight floods in Xinwu. She had been home twice since she got on the river embankment more than a month ago. Liang Gezhen had to go to the river embankment, the municipal government or the municipal flood control command to see others. She still had to stay in Xinwu and stare at her husband without any problems.

Liang Gezhen asked Fu Jun and Zhai Danqing to send Zhang Ke back to Haizhou overnight and not to stay in Jinshan; the roads and ferries from Jinshan to Xinting and Haizhou are smooth.

On July 21, Vice Premier Zeng Rusheng, who arrived in Jinshan again to inspect flood control and rescue work, learned about Zhang Ke's condition and rushed to the hospital with officials from Jinshan City, Jiangnan Province to visit Zhang Ke, who was confused and semi-coma. After the hospital gave Zhang Ke an emergency treatment, he assigned his special plane to take Zhang Ke and his group to Haizhou overnight. Zhang Ke missed the opportunity to meet Zeng Rusheng.

Zhang Ke only subsided in the morning of the next day when he returned to Haizhou. He was hospitalized and observed for two days before he was discharged from the hospital and returned home. However, everyone used Liang Gezhen's words to prevent him from leaving Haizhou, so Zhang Ke had to stay in Haizhou for rest.

Liang Gezhen was finally worried after all, and went back to Haizhou. Seeing Zhang Ke’s cheeks falling down, he complained: “Where do you need to go up and charge in person? You ran over and pointed at me just to cause trouble for others. Who do you need to stand up and point out? Jinhu’s money and stuff donations, and also organized Chinese and overseas Chinese to raise funds for disaster relief in Hong Kong. What else do you want? Don’t imitate your father and have only one stubborn mind!” He stomped his feet with hatred, “It’s really a sin. I’ll go back to Xinwu at night. You said that both of you can be obedient and I need to suffer this? Wei Lan’s college entrance examination results have also come out, just wait for the notice. I’m waiting in Xinwu, and I’ll wait in Haizhou. I’ll let her stay in Haizhou to watch you and take care of you…”

Now Tang Jing is with him all day long, Zhai Danqing never leaves, Wan Qing returns to Haizhou, and Chen Feirong often makes an appointment with Tang Jing, and now Wei Lan is added. A bunch of jade men floating around like flowers and jade, and he can't touch any of them. That's not all, plus Xirong, Xiyu, and Zhitong, three girls, jumping up and down in front of you all day long. When Zhang Ke thought of this, he could only grin and smile bitterly: "Who is taking care of whom? These two days I have been to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and buy them home to make these rice insects... Well, Sister Duoweilan doesn't have many."

"You are sick mainly because you use your brain too much, and your physical strength is too much. Moderate combination of work and rest, and exercise will help your body recover as soon as possible..." Tang Jing pouted slightly and said with a shy face, "Let you do something to save you from being empty all day long."

"I knew you were considerate of me and caring about my body. In fact, my body had recovered like a cow..." Zhang Ke reached out to pinch Tang Jing's face, feeling full and warm, but this girl was so depressed that her body was not recovered and she would not let him touch her body. There was nothing more depressing than this.

Tang Jing knew what Zhang Ke was saying, but it was inconvenient to show her fucking legs in front of Liang Gezhen. Her pretty face was flushed, and she looked like she was not allowed to let Zhang Ke rub her face.

Zhai Danqing walked in. Zhang Ke saw that the corners of her eyes were slightly red and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing," Zhai Danqing said, "Jinshan City has conducted a preliminary investigation into the collapse of Jinshan Lake. I just received a call and heard about some things..."

"What's the matter?" Everyone turned their faces to look at Zhai Danqing.

"Someone discovered danger before the collapse of the dike. At that time, the military and civilians guarding the dike were focused on the dry dike. The migrant workers who were on the dike who were on the wheel of the dike noticed the water seeping on the back of the dike and notified the rescue troops on the dike section. However, when the rescue troops arrived, the dry dike collapsed instantly. At that time, six soldiers jumped into the breach hand in hand, trying to use their flesh and blood to block the flood of the dike to fight for a front-line opportunity for rescue. The bodies of the six soldiers were just found this morning. After the flood in the north of Qinyuan receded, they broke out in a low-lying pool north of Biyuan.

The arms of the six soldiers were still tightly tied together. The person who found the body wanted to separate them and place them one by one, but they couldn't break them away until they died..." As he said, Zhai Danqing's voice choked up, and the girls in the room saw red eyes. Zhang Ke pursed his lips and said without saying a word. Liang Gezhen sighed softly, his heart was soft and he stopped complaining that Zhang Ke was rushing in front of everything. He looked at his watch and said, "I'm going back to Xinwu now. I can't feel at ease with someone like your father..."

Zhang Ke nodded, went downstairs to take her mother into the car, returned to the living room, and called Zhai Danqing to ask about Jinshan's situation.

"In addition to the six soldiers, there were more than 20 soldiers and civilians guarding the dike at that time, and the flood was caught in the breach and there was no time to escape. Jinshan New City and the two most severely affected towns in the north were confirmed to have more than 400 people killed in the flood, and more than 700 people disappeared, with a slim chance of survival. Jinshan New City was just about to collapse the flood, and all the floods were flooded. Countless new, under-construction and unfinished demolition buildings were destroyed by floods. From Jinshan New City to the north to Lianshan County in the north, they were flooded. The roads and railways between Jianye and Jinshan were flooded, and traffic was interrupted. Rescue materials were transported upstream along the Yinma River to Jinshan. The direct losses caused by the collapse of Jinshan Lake may be close to 10 billion yuan, which greatly damaged the vitality of Jinshan's economy..."

Zhang Ke can estimate the economic losses of Kingsoft. The most important thing is that after the Jinshan Lake collapsed, the construction of the new Wu and information industry development plans that were launched for two years were forced to be interrupted. It is still unknown when it will be launched again. He pondered for a moment and signaled Zhai Dan to continue.

"...There are such heavy casualties and losses, and the provinces and cities can no longer shirk responsibility. The direct cause of the dam collapse has been initially found out. A company under the Municipal Water Resources Bureau once thought of building a gas station close to the dam at the dam collapse, digging several meters deep and hundreds of square meters of foundation pits, and the foundation pits are embedded deep into the dam foundation. After the flood prevention work this year, the gas station project was rectified and the company was ordered to backfill the foundation pit and restore the original foundation of the dam foundation.

It looks like this, but this company took out the soil and backfilled it perfunctorily, but it didn't expect that this negligence had laid the root of the disaster," Zhai Danqing said. "When the Jinshan Lake New Lake Dike was built in 1995, the general contractor was a company under the Water Conservancy Bureau, but there were as many as 62 subcontractors, and the management was extremely messy. What was heartbreaking is that about 60% or 70% of these construction parties did not have construction qualifications... At present, all the officials who may be involved were directly detained."

Zhang Ke rested on the backrest of the sofa and didn't want to say anything. No matter the six heroic soldiers who died bravely, or the Jinshan Water Conservancy Bureau, which dug up his own walls, would not appear in the media. Before the flood season, mainstream media received notices to report on flood control and rescue news, and actively report positive news. The soldiers who sleep with mud on the dam will be left with images on the camera to play on TV. These heroic soldiers who died heroically cannot become typical propaganda in order to cover up the severity and cruelty of the dam.

During dinner in the evening, Tang Xueqian and Gu Jianping also rushed over. Compared with the losses caused by Kingsoft, Tang Xueqian was more concerned about the turmoil that may be caused by the disaster in the Jinshan Municipal Bureau of Jiangnan Province.

"After Zhou Jinyu served as secretary of the Jinshan Municipal Party Committee, he decided to demolish the old embankment north of the Xinhu dike to the new urban area to move space to the development of information technology industry. It is precisely because of the demolition of the old embankment that Jinshan Lake collapsed, there was no favorable terrain between the Jiujiang River that could slightly block floods. Besides, during flood control and rescue, Zhou Jinyu's performance also disappointed the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and he stayed in the rear to organize the coordination of flood control and disaster relief materials," Zhang Ke introduced the situation he observed, saying, "Although Zhou Jinyu continues to stay.

In the position of the secretary of the municipal party committee, but this is only more considering that it is necessary to maintain people's hearts when the disaster is extremely serious and cruel. At present, flood prevention work in Jinshan City is mainly under the responsibility of Mayor Zhao Youlun. Vice Premier Zeng Rusheng came to Jinshan twice, Minister of National Defense and Vice Chairman of the Military Commission Liang Weilie visited Jinshan once during inspections, and Zhao Youlun reported the disaster to them... The investigation team for the cause of the collapse of the dike was also led by Zhao Youlun to thoroughly investigate the root cause of the problem... The Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee held an emergency meeting to promote Zhao Youlun to a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee."

It was already a foregone conclusion that Zhao Youlun replaced Zhou Jinyu. As for the whereabouts of Shang Xueyi, it was decided by the central government. Zhang Ke felt that Shang Xueyi might also retreat soon, but Liang Weifa's qualifications were still low, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take office directly. He might directly entrust a provincial party secretary from another province or the central government.

Before dinner, Tang Xueqian said: "I just received the notice that after the flood season, I will go to the Central Party School to study for three months..."
