#264 - Chapter 264 Slander and Seizure of Power

"Mayor E, are you alright?" The secretary stepped forward, asking with concern.

"I'm fine." Mayor E replied simply, without turning his head.

"Do you even realize what you're doing right now?" Mayor E asked, looking at the team member in front of him.

"We are just following orders," the team member replied.

"Following orders? Whose orders? I am the highest-ranking official in Yuanjiang City, you should be following my orders!" Mayor E said.

"Mayor E, haven't you figured it out yet? The situation is different now, no one here listens to you," the team member said.

"Nonsense! I'm going to go over there right now, go ahead and shoot if you have the guts!" Mayor E said angrily, preparing to lift his foot and walk forward.

"Mayor E, I suggest you don't act rashly!" Just then, a voice rang out.

"Meng Shaohui! You've come at the right time, I want you to give me a reasonable explanation," Mayor E said.

The person who arrived was none other than the security captain of the Baishan Resettlement Camp.

"Mayor E, it's obvious, what explanation is needed?" Meng Shaohui spread his hands and smiled.

Behind him stood dozens of security team members, all with guns in their hands.

"Are you trying to seize power?" Mayor E glared at him fiercely.

"Hahaha, Mayor E, you're not saying that right. I'm not seizing power, but representing the people to eliminate you, a hypocritical parasite!" Meng Shaohui laughed.

"What do you mean by that?" Mayor E frowned and asked.

Even he himself didn't know when he had become a parasite.

"You think those dirty things you've done, no one really knows about them? Let me tell you, the net of heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through. What goes around, comes around. Today is when you'll get your comeuppance!" Meng Shaohui said.

The staff members behind Mayor E were confused by what they were hearing, it seemed like something was going on. No wonder the security captain Meng Shaohui made such a move, it seemed like there was a personal grudge involved.

"Meng Shaohui, don't talk nonsense here. I, E Jie, have always been selfless and devoted to the public, when have I ever done anything that couldn't be seen?" Mayor E pointed at him and said.

"I don't want to argue with you, in short, black can't be turned into white, and white can't be turned into black. If you have anything to say, you can go to the underworld and tell it to the King of Hell. Men, take down this heinous E Jie!" Meng Shaohui ordered.

Several security team members, after receiving the order, raised their guns and prepared to walk around the tree towards Mayor E.

"Don't move!" Someone behind Mayor E stood out, pointing at the security team members who were preparing to come over and shouted.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

The person who had shouted instantly fell into a pool of blood.

The person who fired the gun was Meng Shaohui.

The remaining staff members were all so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

"I advise you not to stick your necks out, isn't it good to be alive?" Meng Shaohui blew on the muzzle of his gun and said leisurely.

Mayor E was filled with grief and indignation at this scene.

"Meng… Shao… hui, you actually dare to kill someone!" Mayor E said, word by word, his teeth grinding together in hatred.

"There's no helping it, I didn't want to either. But some people are just so ignorant," Meng Shaohui spread his hands and said.

"What are you all standing there for? Take down this old thing, E Jie, for me!" Meng Shaohui said, looking at the security team members who had stopped moving forward.

Hearing Meng Shaohui's order, the security team members continued to walk forward.

"Listen to me, Meng Shaohui is stirring up trouble and deceiving you. Now, everyone listen to me, take down Meng Shaohui, and the truth will come out!" Mayor E shouted.

But unfortunately, none of the security team members listened to him. And the staff members behind him, because they were afraid, didn't dare to stand up at this moment.

Mayor E was too upright and didn't fully understand people's hearts.

Whether Meng Shaohui's words were true or false, it didn't matter. What mattered was that Mayor E had to step down, because when he stepped down, there would be a reshuffle. After the reshuffle, these security team members could openly be promoted and become wealthy, and life would be much better.

So whether Mayor E had done anything against his conscience or not didn't need to be proven, everyone had enough reason. With a reason, seizing power became more comfortable. With a reason, they could give the ordinary citizens who didn't understand a reasonable explanation.

No one cares about other people's affairs, unless it's related to their own interests.

And people's choices are inclined towards the aspects that are more beneficial to themselves.

At this moment, everyone's choice was inclined towards the aspects that were more beneficial to themselves, including the armed security team members and the staff members who remained silent.

Mayor E was stunned when he saw that no one responded to his call.

He was used to being obeyed by everyone, and had never encountered a situation like today where no one paid attention to him.

He didn't understand, what was wrong with these people?

He also didn't understand how his power had become ineffective.

And he wouldn't have the opportunity to understand anymore.

The security team members had already walked to his side.

One on the left and one on the right, they turned Mayor E's hands behind his back and deftly put on the cold handcuffs.

In order to prevent any unforeseen events, all the remaining staff members were also arrested.

From this moment on, the Baishan Resettlement Camp fell into the hands of the security captain, Meng Shaohui.

But strangely, despite all the commotion tonight, the people didn't see a single zombie…
