Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"Come with us to the commune to make a statement!"

Lin Shuiquan's sister and brother-in-law were taken to Mengyu Commune by the police on motorcycles. Funeral home staff who came from the county also left Hongping Village with the police after collecting the remains of Lin Shuiquan's family.

Before leaving, Deputy Director Zhang Guoqiang said to Liu Weibing, the secretary of Hongping Village, "If there are any new leads, Secretary Liu, you can call your Mengyu Commune and ask them to pass them on to our station."

"Yes, Director Zhang!"

The two thugs, Lao Luo and Lao Shan, who were not killed by the villagers, were directly transferred from Zhaoyang County Police Station to Tuocheng City Public Security Bureau. At the same time, Wei Xucheng, who was detained at Nanshan County Public Security Bureau, was also transferred from Nanshan County to the city bureau.

After Wei Xucheng was sent to the Tuocheng City Public Security Bureau, his family was extremely anxious. His father, Wei Kunyao, even went so far as to go to Lianzhai to beg his aunt, Wei Shufen, to ask Chen Dong and Chen Zaiguang to intervene and "get" Wei Xucheng out.

But the old lady Wei Shufen didn't even see him. Wei Kunyao was turned away in front of the Chen family's ancestral house and left Lianzhai Village dejectedly.

The day after the two criminals were arrested, the Tuocheng Morning Post published a front-page report on the incident, along with related reports from the Tuocheng Municipal Party Committee and Government regarding public security rectification.

'Thunderous Strike!'

Announcement Regarding a Citywide Crackdown on Public Security Violations

Headlines like these were constantly broadcast in major newspapers and news radio stations in Tuocheng, and various communes and townships plastered various promotional slogans on their banners.

"Strike hard, crack down on organized crime, and safeguard peace!"

"Crack down and rectify, purify society!"

"With the force of thunder, we protect peace!"

Under the crackdown, gambling, drugs, theft, fraud, and organized crime in the city seemed to have vanished overnight. The unemployed youths who used to roam the streets have disappeared.

Meanwhile, the reform proposal of Nanshan County to strengthen police patrols around schools and factories was also approved by the County People's Congress, and the Nanshan County Public Security Bureau officially began further expansion of its staff.

At the inpatient department of Nanshan County People's Hospital, Chen Rongfei, accompanied by his father Chen Zaiguang, came to the outside of the intensive care unit to visit several classmates who were still in a coma. Chen Zaiguang sincerely handed over the two thousand yuan donation on behalf of Guangdong Company to the worried parents.

Dean Guo Kun accompanied them throughout the entire ordeal. These parents were unaware that their sons and daughters had suffered this "unjust misfortune" at the hands of Chen Rongfei. When the Tuocheng Municipal Party Committee and Government made the announcement, they did not reveal the intentions of the perpetrators. Therefore, the public was unaware that these four perpetrators were actually targeting the Chen family.

Thanks to Chen Dong's donation of many "advanced" medical devices and medicines to Nanshan County People's Hospital last year, and the joint consultation by experts from Tuocheng Central Hospital, of the eight seriously injured, three died, while the other five were basically successfully operated on. Although they were young and left with disabilities, at least their lives were saved!

The shooting incident on February 2.15th has led Nanshan County to tighten its security measures even more than other counties. Chen Dong was completely unaware of this, as he was currently in Huadu, attending a symposium hosted by the Guangdong Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau.

Accompanying Chen Dong was his second brother, Chen Zaisheng. After landing in Huadu on his private plane, Chen Dong received a warm welcome from the Huadu Municipal Party Committee and Government.

Shen Shenhui, Director of the Guangdong Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau, warmly shook Chen Dong's hand. "Mr. Chen, welcome to Huadu. You have made significant contributions to the economic reform and development of Huadu. We hope you can offer some valuable suggestions at this symposium!"

"Director Shen, you're too kind. I was just doing what a patriotic overseas Chinese should do," Chen Dong said politely, nodding and shaking hands with Shen Shenhui in response to his enthusiasm.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries at the airport, Chen Dong got into the Lincoln sedan that had been airlifted with him and checked into the Huadu Foreign Guest Hotel. Several other foreign businessmen from Southeast Asia who had come to invest in Shenzhen were also staying with him. After hearing about Chen Dong's reputation as an American Chinese businessman, they wanted to come and see him, but were stopped by Zhang Tiejun, who was guarding the door.

"Excuse me, sir, the boss just got off the plane and is a bit tired. He's not available to meet with guests right now. Please leave!"

The foreign businessmen from Southeast Asia could only laugh awkwardly, saying it was alright and they could talk again next time, before leaving disappointed.

The following day, Chen Dong and Chen Zaisheng appeared together in a Lincoln sedan outside the Huadu Hotel, attracting the attention of many people on the street. Escorted by Zhang Tiejun and four bodyguards, Chen Dong and Chen Zaisheng quickly walked into the lobby of the Huadu Hotel.

The symposium was held in the conference room of Huadu Hotel. The long table was covered with dark green velvet. Most of the attendees were cadres from the foreign trade system of various cities in the province, as well as a few Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese businessmen who were invited, just like Chen Dong.

The arrival of the Chen brothers, Chen Dong and Chen Zaisheng, drew everyone's attention in the conference room. Upon seeing Chen Dong, Hong Kong businessman Bai Yihai immediately laughed and walked towards him, "Chen Dong, oh my, I thought it was just someone with the same name, but it really is you! What a coincidence!"

Chen Dong reached out and shook Bai Yihai's hand first. "President Bai, it's been two years! You're still as dashing as ever, hahaha!"

Bai Yihai was Chen Shengyu's business partner in Hong Kong. Later, due to business and other issues, Chen Shengyu peacefully withdrew his investment and left the Hong Kong company, but he still kept in touch with Bai Yihai from time to time. Bai Yihai was in his forties, looked somewhat wealthy, wore a large gold ring, and always had a cigar in his mouth.

"Chen Dong, it's been more than two years since the old man passed away. If possible, could you share some of America's business with her? We're all on the same side, after all," Bai Yihai said, pulling a cigar from his inner suit pocket and offering it to Chen Dong.

Chen Dong waved his hand in polite refusal, then pulled out a Huazi cigarette and said, "President Bai, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. In China, your cigars are too conspicuous. You should learn from me and smoke Huazi!"

"Hahaha," Bai Yihai laughed, attracting the attention of others, but he didn't care at all. "Chen Dong, to be honest, does your Huadong Sheng Company really not plan to bring in new capital from America?"

"Mr. Bai, our Huadong Sheng Company's supermarket business is now the second largest retailer in the US. Why would we need to bring in new capital? You're not going to be lobbying for that old man Pierce again, are you?"

"Pierce asked me to pass on a message: second place is just second place. How can you beat Walmart without bringing in new capital?"

"Hehe! Mr. Bai, I enjoy playing around with finance and don't object to the addition of new talent, but I personally dislike Jewish capitalism!"
