At eleven o'clock at night, a man-made torrential downpour suddenly descended on Dalian.
The unexpected heavy rain not only rapidly decreased the already soaring temperatures by day but also refreshed the air of the entire city. The streets were drenched, and the number of vehicles had significantly decreased, with pedestrians nowhere to be seen.
Even so, in order to prevent another outbreak of chaos, dozens of patrol cars with wailing sirens and flashing lights drove back and forth through Dalian's streets and alleyways. In addition, surrounding the Rhombus Chemical Plant, the fully armed paramilitary police did not leave. Instead, they stood rigid as steel rods in the pouring rain, soaked to the skin, yet unmoved.
Around a certain four-star hotel in Dalian, police cars filled the area, and the police had sealed off the surrounding roads.
In a room in the hotel, two serious-looking staff members from the Disciplinary Committee interrogated Emperor Yanqing.
