That's right, both are senior state government officials and should indeed be the focus of the rescue operation.
However, Gu Ji couldn't quite understand something.
The Chief Minister stayed in Dis布尔 to reassure the victims and show that the state government stands with the people during the crisis, and getting trapped or swept away by the sudden flood is understandable.
But what about the Water Resources Minister's disappearance?
Wouldn't a high-ranking official knowledgeable in hydrology understand the extent and scale of this flash flood?
Moreover, he previously concealed reports about the reservoir dam's water levels. How could such a selfish person not evacuate from the riverbank and high-risk areas ahead of the second round of tropical depression's heavy rains? Could he have dared to venture to the front lines to investigate the flood's cause?
In comparison, Gu Ji believed that he was more likely trying to escape responsibility by secretly fleeing.
