Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 592

Everyone turned their head only to see Wen Xuehui, lying on Jiang Yao's bed, listening to the radio on her cell phone with Moe in her arms.

Cell phones nowadays had few features, but listening to the radio was one of the rarely available ones.

"Why are you listening to the radio?" Jiang Yao asked.

"I went back home with my father for dinner last night. While we were eating, I heard my parents discussing the massive flood in Province C's Rong County. The flood took many lives and left a lot of people stranded. I was a little bored so I wanted to catch up on the news."

Wen Xuehui muttered while she was fiddling with the radio channels. She then continued, "The flood in Rong County was very severe, apparently the surrounding cities and counties were also affected. There are no communication services and no electricity and water supplies in the affected areas."

Jiang Yao's attention was piqued as she walked over and had Wen Xuehui scoot in. She lifted Moe up and put him back at his nest before lying down next to Wen Xuehui.

Back then, the houses were built with wood, unlike the sturdy brick houses found more commonly today among the well-to-do.

Wen Xuehui put her cell phone aside and sat up. She looked at Chen Siyang with anger on her face and said, "What was the person-in-charge thinking? Was it done furtively?"

"Yes. The police were involved after the tragedy," said Chen Siyang. "It was the residents of the village. They were worried that their village would get flooded with the never-ending rain so they sent two representatives to open the spillways, of course, it was done without anyone else knowing. The two people were later sentenced to death by firing squad."
