Chapter 2188: Get to the bottom of it

Tang Shaoying said angrily: "What basis do you have for saying this?"

Professor Li said: "We have conducted dozens of field surveys and carried out air experiments in many places. All the results show that the air problem below the mine is the biggest enemy of the miners' survival."

"If there are still miners alive in the mine, how come our life detectors don't get any response? The situation I just described is the conclusion reached by the expert group and all the rescue workers. No matter what, we must respect objective facts."

Professor Li's words were sincere and convincing.

The miners' families also understood what was said, and many of them shed tears out of anxiety.

So many experts and scholars have already given their conclusions, they must be feeling desperate.

However, Tang Shaoying on the stage obviously did not want to accept this fact.

He said in a deep voice: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! I believe that the brothers in the mine must have a very strong will to survive. Similarly, I also believe that with so many rescue workers on the scene, they will definitely be able to create a miracle of life and save the miners from danger!"

"If you experts and scholars still insist on this view, please leave here immediately! I, Tang Shaoying, will rescue these miners no matter what the cost! We must not let innocent lives die in vain!"

Tang Shaoying's righteous words moved many of the miners' families at the scene to tears.

What a good secretary, what a great sentiment! Even though the facts were before his eyes, Secretary Tang was still unwilling to give up their families. From beginning to end, Secretary Tang was at the front line directing the rescue work. Everything he did was to save the lives of their loved ones.

Unfortunately, the facts are already there and no one can do anything to change them.

People are all made of flesh and blood. No one wants to see such a good person like Secretary Tang bear the infamy and take huge responsibility for this incident.

Some people in the crowd saw that the time was ripe and began to add fuel to the fire.

A man shouted, "Secretary Tang, we know you are loyal, but please don't hurt yourself!"

Another person shouted, "Yes, Secretary Tang, life and death are determined by fate! The country and the government have done their best. Even if we really can't save anyone, we will accept it. And you, Secretary, you must take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

"Secretary Tang, please take care of yourself."

Various voices of concern and praise resounded throughout the entire scene.

Led by these people, many family members of the miners also said: "Secretary, we know you are anxious, but things have come to this point, and we can only do our best."

"Secretary Tang, only if you care more about yourself can you better serve the people."

Tang Shaoying remained unyielding and insisted on doing everything possible to save people.

Those who were arranged to lead the rhythm in the audience immediately began to persuade more fiercely, and some even knelt on the ground, begging Secretary Tang not to insist any longer.

The scene fell into chaos.

Some people were moved to tears, some sighed, and some knelt down and kowtowed to Secretary Tang on the stage to express their admiration and worship.

Finally, Tang Shaoying was persuaded.

He sighed heavily and said, "Comrades, I know you all have good intentions, but I feel really bad! These miners have been wronged, and we have paid too much for this rescue."

"Let me tell you something that the outside world may not know yet. Two days ago, when Director Qian Xilin of the Provincial Public Security Department was inspecting the mine disaster site and thinking about rescue methods, it was too dark and the road conditions were unclear, so the vehicle fell directly off the cliff. After rescue efforts failed, Director Qian died heroically."

boom.

Tang Shaoying's words once again caused an uproar.

Maybe some people heard the sound of a vehicle exploding a few days ago, but few knew that the person who fell off the mountain was actually Qian Xilin, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department!

Even if some leading cadres knew the inside story, they would not dare to speak carelessly before the official announcement.

At this moment, Tang Shaoying dropped this bombshell, which immediately shocked everyone. He was the director of the Public Security Department, a very important figure.

Afterwards, Tang Shaoying, the person who was placed in the crowd to set the pace, also started speaking.

"Director Qian actually sacrificed himself to save my family? Secretary Tang, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Tang Shaoying said: "Comrades, this incident happened very suddenly. Moreover, your family members are still trapped in the mine. As representatives of the government, we should not bring you any more negative news."

"I just said it out loud. I don't want the hero's blood to be shed in vain, and I can't let Comrade Qian Xilin silently sacrifice his precious life. That's why I told you this sad news."

"After the unanimous decision of the provincial party committee and government, as well as the temporary funeral committee for Comrade Qian Xilin, we will hold a grand memorial service for him in this mine."

There was silence.

The miners' families, who had become very angry upon learning the news of the failed rescue, had nothing to say at this moment.

The director of the Public Security Bureau sacrificed his life heroically while saving people. It would be unreasonable for them to continue making trouble.

And the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in front of us has never left the mine since the mine disaster began until now. He has made promises and given encouragement to everyone, and even would rather take on huge responsibilities than give up rescue.

The leaders have done their utmost, and perhaps it is God's will that their loved ones died here.

Ordinary people have a herd mentality, and even if they are sad and frustrated, they are essentially kind.

Seeing that their leaders have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to them and even sacrificed their precious lives, they are ready to forgive everything that has happened so far.

Someone took the lead and said, "Secretary Tang, we have seen the efforts of you and all the leaders on the scene. We are not unreasonable people. We believe and sincerely appreciate all your efforts in disaster relief!"

"But we have another request. You must severely punish the perpetrators of the mining disaster and make sure they are punished by law!"

Led by these people, the miners' families at the scene roared again.

"Yes, severely punish the murderer!"

"He must be brought to justice!"

Tang Shaoying stood on the high platform, with a righteous and stern face, bowed deeply in the direction of the victims' families and said: "Comrades, I assure you that all those responsible for the mining disaster will be severely punished by law!"

"I, Tang Shaoying, will never let go of any profiteers who disregard human life and those black sheep in the cadre team!"

"No matter who he is, no matter what position he holds, I will definitely get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, I am not worthy of being the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee!"
