Chapter 143: Activation Of Electric Fence
The rioting in S City was fierce. The police station immediately activated an emergency plan and mobilized the police.
However, there were too many refugees surging into the city and they were joined by unemployed city-dwellers who were out to create trouble. The police officers could not suppress or control them at all.
Reporters from the television station risked their lives to report live from the streets. News about the cruel and chaotic streets quickly spread.
At the official residence in the capital, Jin Yang looked at the television screen with unprecedented nervousness. His entire body was tense as he stared at every figure that flashed across the screen, as if he was looking for someone. It was only when the signal on the screen stopped that Jin Yang heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed his clenched fists.
“Shao An, come here.”
Jin Yang called Shao An on the intercom, who rushed over in his uniform. “Mr. President, what can I do for you?”
“Postpone everything on my to-do list…”
“Prepare the helicopter immediately. I want to go to S City. Now, now!”
Jin Yang pursed his thin lips into a straight line. “What are you waiting for?”
Just as Shao An was feeling puzzled, he saw the image of a riot flashing on the television. He nervously stopped him and said, “Sir, security in S City is very bad now. Your personal safety be at risk. It’s very likely that someone will take advantage of the chaos to attack you. Why don’t you wait for news in the capital?”
“I can bring my men to handle it. Once the situation is under control, you can go over to see them.”
Shao An suggested a solution that he thought was feasible. Jin Yang frowned and walked up to him. He asked coldly, “Is it your place to teach me how to do things?”
“Why don’t I let you be the president too? Go and make the arrangements now!”
Shao An’s persuasion was fruitless. He could only obey orders and arrange for a helicopter. Jin Yang disguised himself and rushed to S City. He looked at Shao An, who was following him, and said, “You stay.”
“If they know that I’m going to S City, problems will definitely crop up.”
“Stay in the official residence and distract them. Take care of the government affairs for me and suppress the news. No more problems can be allowed to happen!”
Shao An nodded silently. He was already used to Jin Yang’s behavior when facing Qiu Tong’s problems.
“Be safe, Sir.”
Shao An watched as the helicopter flew towards S City. He quickly returned to the official residence and ordered everyone to keep Jin Yang’s departure a strict secret.
In the villa district, the refugees and beggars became increasingly anxious. They even wanted to break through the electric fence with brute force. A few agile escapees had already climbed onto the fence and were using tools to destroy it.
“Mommy, will they be able to break in?”
Little Yu hugged Qiu Tong’s waist tightly in fear as she asked in a trembling voice. Her little face was ashen from fright, and her eyes were filled with panic and fear.
Qiu Tong frowned and watched the intruders with a serious expression. She had no choice but to carry Little Yu to the electrical switch box at the door and turn on the switch.
Sizzle! Pop—
The electric fence was instantly shot through with electricity and all the escapees who were climbing onto it were electrocuted. Their limbs went numb, and they lost consciousness as they fell to the ground. Their limbs twitched incessantly, and some of them even foamed at the mouth as their breathing quickened.
This scene frightened the other refugees so much that they retreated one by one, staring at the electric fence in front of the villa in horror.
The leader of the refugees did not expect Qiu Tong to set up such a vicious defensive device.
“There’s… there’s electricity on it?”
The timid and cowardly refugees helped the severely injured escape to the back and raised their trembling hands. “We can’t go in, what should we do?”
