Guangming Street Office Auditorium.
The venue was silent as the grave.
Dong Xuebin's speech had left everyone speechless.
Only now did everyone understand what Dong Xuebin intended to do. Without obtaining the city's or district's
approval, he wanted to evacuate the residents. Without being one hundred percent certain there would be an earthquake, he wanted to relocate the public.
In anyone's eyes, this was sheer madness. This was no longer simply a matter of taking responsibility.
If everything remained peaceful and no earthquake occurred, Dong Xuebin would be accused of inciting the public and spreading rumors.
That charge alone could send him to prison, and his best years might well be spent behind bars.
If that was not madness, what was?
Yet now, not a single person spoke.
Because everyone had felt Dong Xuebin's determination through his speech.
He would rather lose his position than fail to put the people's safety first.
He would rather go to prison than allow anything to happen to the residents' lives.
What kind of spirit was that?
What kind of determination was that?
Many people could not help but feel a deep respect.
On the stage, Dong Xuebin held the microphone. "Let me say it again!"
"This is my, Dong Xuebin's, personal decision! It has nothing to do with any of you! If there is responsibility, I'll bear it alone! Right now, I need everyone's cooperation! I need a lot of people to cooperate! I know this decision is difficult for everyone to accept! I'm currently suspended from duty myself! That's fine! If anyone thinks this is inappropriate, you can leave now! No one will blame you."
Still, no one left. The venue sank into silence.
Suddenly, Wang Yuling sprang to her feet. "Director! Just give the order! I'll do as you say!"
