Martina's face turned pale, and she almost fainted.
Diego, following the flow of the conversation, also admitted, "My wife has been feeling unwell lately and her temper has been a bit short. People tend to be more impulsive with their family, and that's why she misunderstood."
Martina gritted her teeth and accepted it.
Liu, the village head, helped Radomil into the house. The people of Munoz village exchanged glances and followed him into the villa.
The commotion was quelled by Diego with a combination of appeasing and suppressing.
Daniela watched from afar, somewhat helpless, "These petty squabbles, it seems they won't be able to do anything against Diego."
Oliver, with a dark face, remained silent.
He didn't expect Diego to have already arranged for the people of Munoz village.
They were only making a fuss because they had no other way out. Now that Diego had given them a way out, who would be willing to fall out with him?
However, Diego didn't say anything that day, he just threw him out, clearly wanting to settle accounts with him alone.
He, a single person, how could he fight Diego?
Daniela ignored his darkening face and turned to John, who was standing beside her, "Edward, it's up to you two now."
John couldn't smoke and his face was a bit sour. He nodded randomly and made a phone call, "You guys go ahead."
——
The people from Munoz village entered the house, but Diego didn't go in.
He was being stopped by reporters, talking, "It was all just a misunderstanding. If I had acted faster and given everyone a heads-up earlier, everyone wouldn't have been so anxious."
"I understand all of this, and I will do my best to support the villagers in the future."
"Please don't spread this incident widely, so as to avoid any misunderstandings about Munoz village in society."
After listening to him, the reporters all praised Diego for being a conscientious entrepreneur, a rarity.
Diego smiled, his face full of warmth, "Do you have any more questions?"
Numerous reporters raised their microphones, "Mr. Flores, what is the future direction of Flores Group's development?"
"It is said that the cause of this incident is that some people in J Town have been using substandard products in their professions. Is this true?"
"Flores Group is moving its factories to Southeast Asia, what is the reason for this decision?"
These were all normal questions, and Diego was well prepared.
He knew a reporter would squeeze through the crowd, asking, "Is it because the factory completely destroyed the ecosystem of Munoz village that you had to move it?"
This reporter was very sharp, he had squeezed through a crowd of people and directly handed the microphone to Diego.
Diego furrowed his brow slightly, "That's not the case. Munoz village has professional personnel inspecting it every year, there is no such thing as the ecosystem being destroyed."
When the reporter heard him say this, he became anxious. He took out the photos he was holding and showed them.
"I have evidence!"
"This is the J Town Weaving Industry's wastewater discharge outlet. According to investigations, the wastewater from the J Town Weaving Industry is discharged into this deep pool."
The deep pool had turned black, with a bare circle around it.
At a glance, it was the mark left by years of destruction.
For a moment, all the reporters present were stunned.
This... was too terrifying. Even in the years when the environment was most severely damaged, they had never seen such a dirty place.
Moreover, the policies had changed over the years, prioritizing environmental protection.
The reporter held up the photos and said, "The groundwater in Munoz village has been completely polluted. Experts estimate that it will take 200 years for it to be restored to a drinkable level. All this is due to the drainage from the J Town Weaving Industry."
"We specifically took the wastewater discharged by the J Town Weaving Industry back to the laboratory for testing, and found that the drainage did not meet national standards. The experimenters are almost certain that this wastewater was discharged into the pool without any treatment, directly affecting the surrounding villages for dozens of miles."
He handed the microphone to Diego again, "Mr. Flores, a conscientious entrepreneur who is praised by society, what do you have to say about this?"
