As his thoughts raced, he stood and headed for the door.
The moment he pushed open the Public Security Bureau's doors, the deafening din outside abruptly fell silent.
Everyone stopped shouting and cursing. Countless gazes, filled with grief, anger, confusion, and hope, focused on him all at once.
Among them were numerous reporters, their cameras flashing as they recorded this historic moment.
A Martial Arts Grandmaster commanded awe without needing to show anger!
It was an aura born of a higher level of existence. Even without deliberately releasing it, Chen Kefa was enough to make every ordinary person instinctively hold their breath.
Chen Kefa swept his gaze across the crowd, taking in every grief-stricken face.
He didn't speak. Instead, he directly used a trace of his mental power.
A gentle yet unquestionable thought rang clearly in everyone's minds.
"The compensation for the soldiers and civilians who died in the Snake Disaster is being tallied. I, Chen Kefa, promise that everyone will receive the compensation and honors they deserve."
His words carried a strange power that soothed the crowd, gradually calming many of those who had been worked up.
Then he changed tack, his voice turning unbearably heavy.
"Besides that, I must admit something to all the people of Jiang City."
"There are scoundrels and parasites in our official organizations!"
His words exploded through the silent crowd like a bomb!
Countless people widened their eyes, unable to believe their ears.
The authorities were actually admitting to problems within their own ranks?
Chen Kefa's voice continued to echo in their minds, every word weighing a thousand pounds.
"The disaster caused by the Eternal Life Sect could have been prevented!"
"It was our negligence that led to this tragedy!"
He didn't shirk responsibility or make excuses. Instead, he laid bare the cruelest truth
