Damn it!

Liu Zhizhong was utterly shocked!

Those fucking bastards know exactly how to seize the opportunity to show their face and grab achievements!

As the first member of the Yangzhou Municipal Committee to arrive at the scene, was she not going to get a lot of attention now?

Well, Liu Zhizhong had no choice but to bite the bullet and quickly contact the relevant personnel.

Then he had to bite the bullet again and tag along with Zhang Yuxing, playing the role of her lapdog and lackey.

With Zhang Yuxing's arrival, she instantly became the focus of several deputy secretaries of the Jiangdong District Committee, even the usually aloof and cold Zhao Yan had to force a smile and welcome her.

Zhao Yan, the deputy district head in charge of transportation, was reduced to obediently listening in Zhang Yuxing's presence.

Seeing her husband alongside Zhang Yuxing, she couldn't help but feel a mix of suspicion and speculation in her heart, and was secretly displeased.

But once Zhang Yuxing arrived, she took charge, issuing orders and giving directions, emphasizing and instructing, making demands in such a procedural manner that nobody could pick out any faults. The officials from the district had no choice but to nod again and again, right?

Liu Zhizhong took out his cellphone to capture the relevant videos, just in case the reporters arrived late and missed out, you know?

Looking at the area, the crossroads were jammed with traffic, all four streets were blocked, leaving only a cleared passage for the ambulance to return. It seemed like the reporters really might not make it in time.

Zhang Xingyue carried herself with the meticulousness of a female leader and the demeanor of a City Committee member as she faced Liu Zhizhong's camera, completely in her element.

She couldn't help but feel pleased inside. This Liu chap really knew how to play the game!

And his wife, Zhao Yan, looked at the situation with contempt for her husband—what a bootlicker, absolutely disgusting.

Twenty minutes later, the rescue operation at the scene was over, and having enough manpower was a great help.

All the injured and dead were taken away by ambulances.

Even the wrecked domestic luxury electric car was cut apart, and two mangled bodies were bagged into body bags.

The overturned truck and the electric car were both towed away by wreckers.

The watermelons scattered all over the ground, those that weren't smashed, were all gone, picked up by bystanders. Some were even picking up ones that had burst open but were still clean, eating them while watching the scene, shooting videos on their cellphones!

The fire trucks involved in the rescue directly hosed down the streets, washing away the blood stains. They acted so quickly and professionally that the street looked as if nothing had happened.

Traffic began to disperse around the area, and the highway exits and entrances orderly resumed.

After everything ended, Zhang Yuxing quickly reprimanded the leaders of the Jiangdong District Committee and government, saying things like they must pay attention, reflect, and carry out safety education activities, and so on.

At that time, the reporters finally arrived. Just now, it was simply too congested to squeeze through!

Fortunately, Liu Zhizhong knew two chief reporters from the city newspaper and city station. He directly sent them the video files he had recorded, which they were incredibly grateful for!

The nonsense they would later spout in the timely news broadcast, they'd concoct themselves.

Zhang Yuxing really appreciated this little detail from Liu Zhizhong. The little guy did have his uses.

Afterwards, she got into her car and told Liu Zhizhong to drive off.

At the scene, Zhao Yan and the others had no choice but to disperse. They instructed the traffic management department to thoroughly investigate the incident—it had to be done thoroughly.

There had been more than sixty people with varying degrees of injuries, with eleven dead at the scene—a major traffic accident that had a truly awful impact.

But Zhang Yuxing had declared on the spot that only fifteen were injured and four dead—that was the most she would allow to be reported.

At the scene, she also called up the City Committee's propaganda department. All propaganda machinery started up, with any related videos uploaded online being promptly deleted. If anyone dared to spread malicious rumors, their accounts would be blocked and they'd get a visit for a "water meter inspection".

All of this was for the image of Yangzhou!

Anyway, this time, Zhang Yuxing really enjoyed the spotlight—responsible, decisive, acting immediately, and the first to arrive on scene. Impressive!

As Liu Zhizhong drove onto the highway, the car raced along splendidly.

Behind him, Zhang Yuxing still sat in the back seat, making calls to Du Yuesheng, the Deputy Mayor in charge of transportation, among others. Exchanging opinions, expressing views—where did this look like the behavior of the Secretary of the Municipal Committee? This was downright like the Mayor's style!

When she finished her call, she said to Liu Zhizhong, "You little fellow, you really know how to work the system. You've done well! Stay sharp, don't piss me off—you never know, there might be some opportunities for you in the future."

"Heh, thank you, Secretary Zhang! Your ability was fully demonstrated today, very comprehensive and absolute control over the scene..."

"Enough, just drive well, quit the brown-nosing; I'm sick of it!"

Zhang Yuxing's voice turned cold, and after speaking, she paid no more attention to Liu Zhizhong and turned to her tablet.

Liu Zhizhong felt uncomfortable inside. You dead woman, I'm disgusted by my own flattery, but what can I do? It's the way of the officialdom, isn't it?

At noon, the two reached the Provincial City, got off the highway nearby, and planned to have lunch before setting off again.

As they were eating, Zhao Yan called Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong picked up his phone and smiled, "Secretary, my wife's calling, I'm going to take it!"

Zhang Yuxing gave him a disdainful look. "Are you hiding something? Answer it here, put it on speaker!"

Liu Zhizhong, annoyed, reluctantly put the call on speakerphone.

Who would have thought his wife would begin with, "You, Liu Zhizhong, seem to be doing well these days. What's your relationship with Secretary Zhang? It seems quite intimate, huh? Taking a personal tour together?"
