The people from the street office were left dumbfounded. It was only after the director stepped in, offering apologies and making amends, that Wu Bilian finally took Liu Haizhong back home. From that point on, the street office never inquired about Liu Haizhong's situation again. After all, this was all of his own making; who told him not to treat his wife well? And he had even killed his second son—so he was still a murderer!
Well! Since he was a murderer, he deserved to be mistreated! The street office staff were quite adept at finding a way out of the situation!
At this point, the Wind Committee seemed to sense that their era was coming to an end, and their actions had noticeably become more restrained. Wang Jiefang understood that a new era was about to dawn. He should be happy for the country entering a new age, but he couldn't shake off a feeling of unease in his heart.
It felt as if he knew something about this matter, yet now he couldn't remember what it was! This left him feeling extremely restless. In a fit of distraction, Wang Jiefang began rummaging through his space, hoping to find some inspiration among the items stored there!
Looking at the space that had expanded several times since he first arrived in this world, Wang Jiefang bypassed the treasures he had collected and focused on the area where books were kept. He felt an instinctive pull, sensing that the answers he sought lay within those books!
His mental energy began scanning through the books in the space. As his mind brushed over modern history, his heartbeat quickened slightly. Wang Jiefang immediately opened a history book and began reading!
When he saw that an 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck a certain mountain in 1976, he suddenly slapped his forehead. "Damn it! How could I forget such a significant event!? No wonder I've felt like something big is about to happen these past few days!"
Sun Yuwei noticed Wang Jiefang inexplicably slap himself and mutter to himself. She hurried over with concern and asked, "What’s wrong with you? Why are you hitting yourself? Also, is there something you've been hiding from me? If there's anything going on, just tell me. I can share the burden with you; don’t keep it all bottled up!"
Wang Jiefang glanced at the calendar; it was still early in the month, so there should be time! With his worries resolved, he felt better seeing his wife concerned for him. He quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, dear! I'm fine; I just figured out a tough problem and got a bit too excited!"
His grandmother, watching from the side, poked him with her finger and said, "You’re already a father of three; why are you still so reckless? You’re making Yuwei worry for no reason."
Facing his grandmother's admonition, Wang Jiefang could only chuckle sheepishly. Ever since Sun Yuwei had given him another son and daughter, his standing in the family had dropped to the lowest! What could he say?
Now that he knew a major earthquake was coming, Wang Jiefang certainly couldn't just sit back and do nothing. But how could he intervene? Should he go directly to the leadership office and announce that an earthquake would strike a certain mountain on a specific day? The likely outcome would be that he'd be arrested on the spot!
In the dead of night, Wang Jiefang hypnotized his family once more to ensure they slept soundly before sneaking out of their courtyard again! This time, he wasn't heading to the Wind Committee's warehouse to collect items; instead, he made his way directly to where the leadership offices were located.
He stopped two blocks away from those offices. After all, it was a place for leaders and their rest; moving any closer would mean encountering guards and patrols everywhere! Although he was confident in his ability to sneak past those soldiers into the leadership office, he felt it unnecessary because what he needed to do could be accomplished from this distance!
