Of course, there were people who didn't listen, like Zhang Daitao after he was beaten. He originally wanted to retaliate against Li Yifei, but he held back and made some calls to dig into Li Yifei's background, only to find out how terrifying the person who beat him was. This made him reconsider his thoughts of revenge, though he still spread a lot of bad words about Li Yifei to city and provincial leaders throughout the morning. Next, he intended to file a formal complaint, waiting for the Central Government leaders to arrive so he could continue his accusations.
So when he heard Li Yifei's words, he didn't believe them, especially since he had learned half an hour ago that the dam was very safe, even possibly blocked. Therefore, he directly shouted to his subordinates, "Nobody moves, continue the rescue operations! These guys are not professional anyway, it's better if they leave; we must rescue every one of our villagers!"
