"Director Wu, where are Secretary Li and the others?" Director Chu asked hurriedly.
The middle-aged woman seated near the middle said, "Secretary Li and the others suddenly received a call just now. There was something urgent they needed to handle, so they called the mayor and several vice mayors away."
As they spoke, a middle-aged man strode in through the door. It was Mayor Tian, who oversaw investment promotion.
"Mayor Tian..."
Director Chu was about to ask a question, but Mayor Tian interrupted him and turned straight to Wang Sheng. "General Manager Wang, did an Armored Transport Vehicle leave your company today? A black one, with a license plate ending in 326."
King Sheng froze. He might not have known about any other vehicle, but he had personally seen this Armored Transport Vehicle out of the Industrial Park that morning. How could he not know about it?
Mayor Tian's sudden question gave Wang Sheng an ominous feeling. "Yes, there was. What's the matter, Mayor Tian?"
Mayor Tian's brows were tightly knitted. "After leaving Rongcheng, the vehicle fell from a high bridge northwest of the city. The nearest rescue teams are on their way now. We checked its route through Rongcheng's Traffic Management Platform, and it appears to have come from your Industrial Park. That's why Secretary Li sent me to ask you."
King Sheng heard only the first part before his mind reeled.
Others might not know, but how could he not?
A traffic accident? Countless traffic accidents happened across the country every hour, but eight or nine out of ten were caused by traffic violations or driver negligence. Could the four military personnel driving and escorting the shipment have been unaware of how important this mission was? Could they have been careless?
"Can you confirm the casualties?"
"Not yet!
