Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

We can’t blame the fire chief for being out of touch with the news; that’s actually understandable.

Although the Pei family had threatened to ban Chu Longtu when Chu Longtu was still in Jiangdong, Chu Longtu also clashed with the Pei family many times after he marched into Hedong.

Basically, all the prominent families and forces in the upper class of Hedong knew about the conflict between Chu Longtu and the Pei family. They also knew that the Pei family had threatened to ban Chu Longtu. They also knew that Chu Longtu was going to open a villa and a casino in Hedong to go against the Pei family.

However, this information was only circulated among the real upper class of Hedong. In the various circles below the upper class, those people only knew that the Pei family was in trouble, or that someone was against the Pei family and made the Pei family very angry, or they simply knew nothing and had no idea that the Pei family had encountered big trouble.

This is actually the information barrier caused by different social classes, that is, information asymmetry, which is also a very common scene.

The upper class achieves its dimensionality reduction attack on the lower class by controlling information, artificially creating information barriers, and making information gaps.

Some news that has been widely circulated in the upper class may still be regarded as a treasure by people in the lower class.

It is precisely because the upper class has access to the most core and original information that they can firmly grasp the upward channel, maintain class barriers and constantly solidify them, allowing them to grow stronger and maintain their wealth status for a long time.

As for the extremely valuable news that the Pei family was in trouble and was fighting a fierce battle with Chu Longtu and suffering losses, the big families and forces in Hedong must keep the news firmly in their own hands so that they can maximize the benefits brought by this news.

For example, when the Pei family was attacked, he took the lead in shorting the Pei family's stocks, encroaching on the Pei family's territory, sucking blood from the Pei family bit by bit, and finally putting all the Pei family's things into his own pocket!

The most intuitive example is that today when the Pei family’s base in Hedong encountered a full-scale attack and was set on fire, the market value of the listed companies under the Pei family’s Pei Group has fallen by a full three percentage points!

It seems that the decline is not large, but if you add the hundreds of billions of market value of Pei’s company, it has already fallen by billions!

Those who shorted the Pei family's company's stocks were several other major forces in Hedong that were as famous as the Pei family.

Precisely because they can obtain the most accurate information the fastest, they have taken advantage of their first-mover advantage and cut a piece of flesh from the Pei family.

Not only stocks, several other families have already begun to send out their own action teams to observe around the Pei family's stronghold.

Once the time is right, they will strike without hesitation and swallow up all of the Pei family's territory under the most rotten excuses such as assisting in co-management and maintaining public order.

Even if the Pei family caught their breath and asked them for their own territory, how could they spit out the meat that had already been eaten by the tiger?

Relying on the advantage of obtaining information first, other families in Hedong have already gained such great benefits. How could they possibly make such valuable information public and let others know?

You know, the reason why the Rothschild family was able to build a financial empire and become the uncrowned king above the whole of Britain was because their family received the news that Napoleon lost the Battle of Waterloo one day earlier than the king!

In just one day, the Rothschild family laid the foundation for a financial empire and established an immortal foundation that would make their family rich and prosperous for generations!

If Chu Longtu could really make a big splash and defeat the Pei family, the other major forces and families in Hedong would still be hoping to be the first to devour the Pei family's corpse and swallow the most delicious fat to strengthen their own families. They would be even less likely to leak such valuable information and attract competitors to snatch the meat from them.

Therefore, the news of the confrontation between the Pei family and Chu Longtu is now only circulated among the top forces in Hedong. The families and forces in the middle and lower levels may not really know what happened.

If the director of the Fire Department was counted, he could barely be considered a middle-level figure in Hedong, but even he had no idea that the Pei family and Chu Longtu were in a fierce confrontation.

That's why he was so surprised when he learned that so many of the Pei family's strongholds had been attacked, invaded and set on fire today.

But he was not a fool. He knew that the Pei family must have met an enemy, but he did not know who the enemy was.

But looking at the situation in front of us, even if we use our toes to guess, we can tell that this person is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

How could someone who is not afraid of the Pei family's retaliation and goes against the Pei family be easy to deal with, let alone difficult to provoke?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang from the Fire Department immediately knew what to do.

The two sides are more difficult to deal with than each other. It's like a fight between gods. Even a figure like the fire chief doesn't dare to move forward, for fear of being implicated.

By that time, there would be no one to turn to, whether it be heaven or earth, for help. Even after death, there would be no place to appeal for justice.

So the fire chief made the wisest choice, that is, no matter how they fought life and death, he just needed to do his job diligently and conscientiously!

Disaster relief!

That’s right, disaster relief!

As long as he does his essential job well, even if the sky really falls, it has nothing to do with him.

After making the decision, the director acted decisively and prepared to order the continued organization of personnel to evacuate the crowd to avoid casualties.

At this moment, the scene, which had gradually stabilized, suddenly changed again!

"boom!"

An extremely low and penetrating muffled sound rang out of nowhere, as if a desperate beast in the vast and boundless ancient land was letting out a shrill scream at the blood-red setting sun in the sky. The sound instantly frightened the director and the firefighters so much that their hair stood on end, and they instinctively turned their heads to look at the Tianbo Building!

Then, they immediately saw with their wide eyes the huge cracks that suddenly appeared on the Tianbo Building, the slightly shaking stairs, and the glass windows that were constantly crackling and exploding!

The building is going to collapse!

When the director and the firefighters saw this scene, these four words instantly appeared in their minds. They were immediately scared out of their wits and almost peed themselves!

The people who were evacuating in an orderly manner under the organization of the firefighters, and those who were leaving the surrounding buildings in an orderly manner, heard such a loud noise, and then looked up to see the nearby Tianbo Building shaking slightly in front of them. The sudden apocalyptic impact instantly shattered their rationality and instantly fell into the deepest panic.

"Run! The building is going to collapse!"

"Mom, the building is going to collapse!"

"Run, run!!!"

"Ooooooh, oooooh, stop pushing me, my legs!"

Screams, cries, and shrill sounds instantly rose to the sky. The crowd that was originally dispersing in an orderly manner suddenly began to run in all directions like mice that were thrown into a nest and set off firecrackers, and instantly became a mess.

The chaotic situation immediately caused the director's pupils to shrink to the size of a needle tip, and his hair stood on end!

If the current situation is not brought under control quickly and is allowed to spread, the unrest will soon expand into a disorderly riot.

If such a situation really happened, there would definitely be casualties.

At that time, the director, as the highest commander on the scene, will definitely be in trouble. He might even be used as a scapegoat or a scapegoat by his superiors to appease public anger.

At that time, the people above will only need to bow, apologize and express their stance, but the situation the director will face will be more complicated.

I’m afraid that I won’t be able to escape unscathed by then, and I might end up in an even worse situation!

So no matter what, we must not let anything go wrong here today!

"Everyone, obey my orders!"

The director's voice suddenly became extremely sharp, as if two pieces of metal were rubbing against each other, revealing a dry, ruthless and resolute tone.

"Set up a cordon 200 meters outward from Tianbo Building. No one is allowed to enter the cordon!"

"Immediately organize the crowd to evacuate away from the two-kilometer radius of Tianbo Building. We must do it quickly. There are so many people here. If there is too much crowding, it is likely to cause a stampede."

"Also, get the fire truck ready immediately. Get the water cannon ready. If you see anyone running around or yelling and trying to break through our defense line, or disrupting order, use the water cannon to wake them up!"

"And we have to use bubbles to lead the way. If we see anyone straying from the established retreat route, we will also pour water on them!"

"In short, these bubbles are the whip in our hands, and these people are the sheep. Anyone who dares to run around and shout and disrupt the overall evacuation order will be severely whipped!"

"No need to be gentle, be heavy-handed, and I'll be responsible if anything goes wrong!"

The chief's sharp voice instantly resounded around them. All the firefighters immediately looked stern, stood up straight and responded loudly, then immediately dispersed in all directions, ready to execute the order.

A new firefighter who had just joined the job was whispering to the master assigned to him.

"We are here to put out fires, why are we even doing the work of maintaining order?"

"The fire up there is burning so fiercely, are we really going to just ignore it?"

"Then maybe the upper floors will be burned to the ground in the end!"

The master who was following the new firefighter was so confused by his constant nagging that he couldn't help but shout at him.

"shut up!"

"You have no right to speak here!"

"Look at this building. The bricks are cracked and the glass is breaking. This means that the whole building has become a dangerous building. It is hard to say when it will collapse."

"In this case, there is no need to put out the fire. After the house collapses, the fire will be put out as usual, and our brothers will be saved from unnecessary losses. Isn't that good?"

"If you want to put out the fire, then I'll grant your wish and let you go upstairs to put out the fire alone, okay?"

The master's harsh scolding made the newly recruited firefighter turn pale instantly. He understood what was good and bad, and tightly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word. He followed the master's footsteps and went forward to evacuate the crowd.

At this moment, a second sound, deeper and more penetrating than the previous one, suddenly rang out.

"boom!"

When this sound was rang out, it was so penetrating that it suppressed all the crying and shouting at the scene. For a moment, only the extremely penetrating sound could be heard, and no other noises appeared!

The director's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip and he stared blankly at the Tianbo Building.

On the wall where many cracks had appeared just now, accompanied by the extremely piercing sound just now, another huge crack suddenly appeared, almost tearing the outer wall of the first floor apart!

That’s not all. For some reason, the ground beneath their feet was shaking slightly.

Along with the slight tremor, various cracks on the outer wall of Tianbo Building were also quietly spreading.

Even compared to the entire Tianbo Building, these cracks actually only occupy a small part, but the cracks spread very quickly.

If it continues to spread like this, even if the entire Tianbo Building has a solid foundation, it will not be able to withstand a few more such disturbances!

Don’t wait until the building really collapses and then regret it, because that will be too late!

When the director came to his senses, he found that he was soaked all over, and his body was sticky with cold sweat caused by fear.

Without any hesitation, the chief grabbed the firefighter beside him and ran out, giving orders as he ran.

"Tell all the brothers immediately to move the cordon outwards with Tianbo Building as the center!"

"Three kilometers, no, four kilometers, no, five kilometers!"

"That's right. Tell all the brothers to immediately extend the cordon to five kilometers away. Everyone must drive everyone in this circle out as quickly as possible!"

"This building is really going to collapse!"

"If this building really collapses, then if people within a five-kilometer radius are not evacuated in time, it will cause even greater casualties. This is absolutely not allowed!"

"Everyone, disperse immediately. No matter what, you must ensure that when this building collapses, no one within a five-kilometer radius will be affected!"

The firefighter caught by the chief nodded repeatedly, and immediately turned on the intercom to repeat the chief's order to everyone, asking everyone to disperse immediately, form groups freely, and evacuate all people in nearby buildings. They must not let the buildings collapse and hit them! "

If the casualties were too heavy, the director would be firmly blamed, and there would be no room for easing the situation!
