608: Chapter 600 The People of Miyun Town Welcome You 608: Chapter 600 The People of Miyun Town Welcome You The early morning in Miyun Town, as a streak of dawn’s light spilled across the sky, bathed Miyun Town’s morning in a golden ocean.
Nestled by the mountain and waterside, the mornings in late autumn were turning colder, and mist rose from the ground.
Touched by the sunlight, it ascended in wisps of blue smoke, transforming Miyun Town into a place like the Immortal Realm, exceptionally beautiful, like something out of a dream.
Yet today, Miyun Town lacked its usual vibrant, prosperous, and joyful air.
Instead, there was something suffocating in the atmosphere.
The usually bustling streets now seemed deserted.
The recent large-scale poisoning incident had cast a shadow over Miyun Town, leaving many fearful, worried that the poison would continue to spread.
Even some people, gripped by fear, had fled elsewhere to hide.
Concerning this large-scale poisoning incident, the provincial city and even Capital City were highly concerned.
National departments had issued important directives.
A medical response team from Yang County, along with a large number of armed police, had assembled in Miyun Town.
The County Magistrate of Yang County, along with several county leaders and the head of the armed police squad, and the chief of the county public security bureau, were also stationed in Miyun Town, directing the situation on-site.
Police stations from various places under Yang County’s jurisdiction had also sent personnel to support Miyun Town, creating an unmistakable atmosphere of high alert.
Early on, a large crowd gathered at the entrance of Miyun Town, with Yang County’s County Magistrate leading the way, the leaders from the county, Miyun Town’s officials, and dozens of fully armed guards, presenting quite an imposing array.
Between the two telephone poles on the road, a large banner was strung up: Welcome to the Chinese Medicine Representative Team, The People of Miyun Town Welcome You!
A convoy appeared on the highway, consisting of six identical black Audi A6Ls, all bearing the city government’s special license plates—clearly, Tangyu and his team had arrived.
The convoy came to a stop, and Tangyu stepped out of the car, raising an eyebrow slightly at the sight of such fanfare.
The County Magistrate and others immediately came forward, “Mr.
Ouyang, it’s been many years, how have you been?
We’ve been anxiously waiting, and at last, we have awaited your arrival.”
Ouyang Mulin was the team leader for this mission, and it wasn’t necessary for him to come without reason, but Tangyu and the others were still young, and after all, this was a very formal occasion.
So it was best to have a senior figure with status to oversee the situation.
Ouyang Mulin’s role was to preside over the general situation.
This is how things are done from the top down, covering all bases, and considering the image projects.
“County Magistrate Yang, you’ve been concerned, this is our Divine Doctor Tang, he is the main treating physician this time, any issues you can directly communicate with him,” said Ouyang Mulin.
The County Magistrate turned to Tangyu, stepping forward to shake his hand, and said with a grave face, “The people of Miyun Town welcome you.
We’ve finally awaited Divine Doctor Tang.
It hasn’t been half a month since our hurried parting; last time, I truly did not recognize the Divine Doctor.
This time, we’re relying entirely on Divine Doctor Tang and your team.
On behalf of the people of Miyun Town, I’m entrusting this matter to you—everything is in your hands.”
Tangyu, not caring whether the County Magistrate was sincere or just putting on a show, said, “Rest assured, County Magistrate Yang, since we’ve come, we certainly won’t let everyone down.
Let’s not stand here and waste more time, let’s head to Wanshan Village first.”
“Divine Doctor Tang, you’ve also had a long journey.
I’ve arranged a place for you to rest.
You could rest a bit and put down your things before departing, it won’t be too late,” the County Magistrate suggested.
Tangyu shook his head and said, “The patient’s needs are paramount, the situation is urgent, and we came prepared for a tough battle; there’s no need to rest, let’s go, we shouldn’t waste any more time.
Every minute we delay, the villagers face a moment more of danger.”
“Yes, yes, Divine Doctor Tang is absolutely right, then we shall not delay Divine Doctor Tang any further,” the County Magistrate quickly replied.
Tangyu looked at Deng Jianguo, who was with the head of Miyun Town, and said, “Brother Deng, get in my car, I need to understand the situation from you.”
Upon hearing Tangyu’s voice, Deng Jianguo was initially startled, then a look of joy appeared, and with a hearty smile, he quickly approached Tangyu.
Tangyu’s casual gesture caught the County Magistrate’s eye, their gaze inadvertently falling on Deng Jianguo.
This inadvertent act on Tangyu’s part was, for Deng Jianguo, an invisible push.
Years later, the absolute richest man in Miyun Town, Deng Jianguo, would reminisce and say that this shout was the start of his ascent in life.
Deng Jianguo now carried himself with the air of a boss and the demeanor of an official—indeed, he’d accomplished both.
With a change in status and identity, the man had truly transformed.
From an obscure small business owner, Deng Jianguo had leaped to being the head of a company, and also became one of the town’s standing committee members.
Everyone got into their vehicles, and the convoy set off towards Wanshan Village.
“Brother Deng, what’s the situation like in Wanshan Village now?” Tangyu asked as soon as he was in the car.
Deng Jianguo’s expression instantly turned somber, and he shook his head, “The situation is very bleak, everyone in the village is poisoned, even the livestock have not been spared, and the village’s produce farms have also been severely contaminated.”
“How long has this situation been going on?” Tangyu continued to inquire.
“It’s been a little over three days.
But thankfully, no one has perished yet, though some of the elderly and children are in critical condition, and it’s uncertain how long they can hold on.
With you here, Divine Doctor Tang, we’re reassured.
There’s hope for us all,” said Deng Jianguo.
