Official excuse: I've put you on patrol in Handong, and the whole province is in a panic.

Qi Tongwei felt a chill run down his spine.

"Mission accomplished!"

Su Zhe continued, "Fourth, from now on, no open special operations are allowed in Jinghai, Lvteng, and Dongshan; no advance meetings are allowed with local public security officials; and they must not be allowed to realize that the inspection team has already set its sights on these places!"

Qi Tongwei immediately replied, "I will resolutely obey Team Leader Su's arrangements! I guarantee to complete the tasks assigned by the organization!"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhe felt...

This ranking, though apolitical, is still quite politically conscious, Director Qi.

It felt slightly good.

To be fair, Director Qi is capable and has top-notch emotional intelligence.

To be honest, his only weakness is his political acumen...

Too narrow-minded, and with too limited perspective.

If he had come from a better background, perhaps he wouldn't have ended up like Director Qi, who committed suicide by shooting himself...

"That's all for now, Director Qi, goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Team Leader Su!"

soon.

Su Zhe hung up the phone.

I checked the time.

Um...

It's December 14st.

Su Zhe informed Xu Ming that the risks and hidden dangers of Dafeng Factory had been eliminated.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You're a real shrewd guy. I thought of so many ways to eliminate this problem, but none of them felt quite right and carried any risks. I never expected you to just send in the SWAT team and handle it! Heh..."

Su Zhe smiled and said, "This is the safest and most dignified method. Even if the operation fails, all these special police officers will escape. At most, the workers at Dafeng Factory will be furious and then strengthen their defenses. It is impossible for them to escalate the conflict on the spot and cause serious incidents such as ignition or explosion."

Xu Ming laughed loudly, "You're right! Hehe... Young people are so quick-witted; sometimes we old guys still have a lot to learn from you!"

Su Zhe then said to Xu Mingdao, "Sir, I have another idea, which is to temporarily not report this matter to Jingzhou City and Handong Province..."

Xu Ming laughed and said, "What? Are you trying to give them a live lesson? To shock them?"

Su Zhe smiled.

"Shocking them is not within my consideration. The main problem is that I am quite disappointed with the leaders and cadres of Handong Province!"

The rights and wrongs of the dispute over the Dafeng Factory land are secondary; the real issue is that these workers have resisted the forced demolition for so long, even creating such a significant safety hazard! Whether at the district, city, or provincial level, no one has stepped forward to resolve the problem; everyone is just watching and waiting! Or rather, they simply don't care about the problem here. This is extremely irresponsible towards the people. I also want to use this incident to make them blush, sweat, and feel serious, to give them a profound spiritual baptism and ideological education!

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Excellent! Our Group Leader Su is going to give these provincial and ministerial-level leaders a vivid lesson in ideological education, and I wholeheartedly support that! I believe Elder Sun will be very happy to know about this! Hehe..."

Su Zhe laughed and said, "Then shall we wait and see how the show begins?"

Xu Ming smiled.

"Then I'll wait and see!"

......

In a two-story building on the outskirts of Jingzhou City, with a sign that reads "Antai Demolition Service Co., Ltd.", Chang Chenghu was squatting next to the office coffee table counting money. On the table were half a pack of cigarettes, a car key, and two hand-drawn maps of the roads around Dafeng Factory.

When his phone rang, he had just stuffed a stack of cash into the drawer. When he saw the name on the screen, he immediately stood up straight and stubbed out his cigarette.

"cousin."

On the other end of the phone.

Without exchanging pleasantries, Cheng Du, the director of the Guangming District Public Security Bureau, asked directly, "How much longer are you going to delay at Dafeng Factory? Are you still going to demolish it or not?"

Chang Chenghu closed the office door and waved to the outside, telling his underlings not to come in.

"Cousin, it's not that we don't want to move, it's just that the workers over there are watching us too closely. There are people at the factory gate every day, and there are people on the wall. There are also gasoline drums piled up over at the boiler room. If we force our way in, it could easily lead to a big accident."

Cheng Du said coldly, "Something big has happened? Why didn't you say something big had happened when you were taking the money? The inspection team is here! Who knows, those people from Dafeng Factory might report us to the inspection team one day. What if they overturn the case then? To avoid any unforeseen complications, demolish it right now!"

Chang Chenghu said with a bitter face, "We've taken the money, but this isn't how you do the work... There are over 1000 workers in Dafeng Factory, and the security team patrols more than all the workers in our company combined..."

Cheng Du snorted.

"Useless! Your company of just over 100 people can't even handle Dafeng Factory's 1000-plus workers?"

Chang Chenghu: ?

Hey!

Cousin, listen to what you're saying, is that even human language?

Are we, with just over 100 people, going to deal with more than 1000 of them?

On average, one person has to fight 10?

The key is that these workers aren't so easy to mess with!

Dealing with one or two honest, spineless cowards might be possible...

But when they really got together, there were thousands of them, and everyone had a weapon in their hands...

Even if 100 Ip Mans came, they'd be beaten to a pulp!

The company does indeed have a few guns, and everyone can carry a knife...

But this is a society governed by the rule of law. You can't really shoot someone or draw your knife to kill them, can you?

When you're out in the world, you're after money; everyone's just trying to make a living...

Why risk your life like that?!

Besides, how can you make money if you risk your life?

Chang Chenghu said with a bitter face, "Cousin...it's not that I didn't try my best, but we really can't afford to mess with those more than a thousand workers! They're all men, armed with steel pipes and shovels. You saw it last time, we sent a few dozen people, and we were surrounded as soon as we got close to the factory gate. We were so scared that we called the police. If the police hadn't arrived quickly, we would all have been trapped inside..."

"How dare you bring up what happened last time?"

Cheng Du angrily cursed, "Chang Chenghu, how dare you even show your face in the underworld? A bunch of good-for-nothings! You can only bully ordinary people; you can't do anything right! And you even have the nerve to suggest calling the police..."

Are you gangsters, or are the workers at Dafeng Factory gangsters? The gangsters got scared by ordinary people and called the police...aren't you ashamed?

Chang Chenghu was embarrassed, but dared not argue back.

"Cousin, the workers really banded together, it's a different story. It's one thing to bully one or two honest people normally, but Dafeng Factory is like a war zone now. Zheng Xipo is still reasonable, but that Wang Wenge is really willing to fight to the death. He shouts every day that he'll set the factory on fire with gasoline if anyone demolishes it..."

Cheng Du asked, "Would he dare to order it?"

Chang Chenghu quickly replied, "Who can say for sure? People driven to desperation are capable of anything."

"Don't give me that crap. Once the factory is demolished and the land cleared, there will be property disputes and debt disputes. How the court rules and how the government mediates are another matter. But as long as the factory remains standing, the workers will be stuck there. The media can easily take a couple of photos, and the inspection team can easily receive a complaint letter, and they can blow things up!"

Chang Chenghu wiped his forehead.

"Cousin, I understand what you mean, but the problem is we really can't break in."

Cheng Du fell silent; only the faint sound of breathing could be heard on the phone.

Chang Chenghu thought his anger had subsided, so he quickly said, "Cousin, why don't you talk to the Shanshui Group and ask them to give us more time, until the workers relax a bit, then we can find an opportunity to go in, or have the court issue another enforcement notice, send a few hundred police officers to lead the way, and we'll follow behind to do the work. That would be safer."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Du almost cursed out loud.

If I could deploy hundreds of police officers, why would I be urging you to do anything every day?!

Cheng Du retorted, "Wouldn't it be better if I just invited the provincial military district officers here and arrested all these workers one by one? What's the point of having you idiots then? Just to demolish houses?"

Chang Chenghu laughed awkwardly, "Cousin, please don't say that. We also want to get things done."

"Then do as I say! Here's the arrangement: I'll get you a few police cars, and you find some police uniforms, tear off the badge numbers on the chests! With the police cars leading the way, just tear them off!"

Chang Chenghu was stunned.

"Cousin, what do you mean?"

"Impersonating a police officer?"
