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

at this time.

Chen Yanshi was stopped by several police officers outside the safe zone. He raised his cane and then put it down again. Despite his age, his voice was loud enough to draw the attention of everyone around him.

Zhao Donglai strode over and whispered, "Old Chen, the scene is dangerous. Please don't rush in."

Chen Yanshi pointed towards the oil depot and angrily said, "If I don't rush in, who will speak up for the workers? You're all wearing uniforms and hats, talking about safety, but you're putting excavators in! Are you even on the side of the people?"

Zhao Donglai explained, "Old Chen, the fake police have been taken into custody, and the excavator has been shut down. No one is forcibly demolishing the structures now."

Chen Yanshi sneered, "No one forcibly demolished it? When that excavator was rumbling in just now, this old man wasn't deaf."

Li Dakang walked over, his face tense, and said, "Comrade Chen Yanshi, you are now affecting the handling of the scene."

Chen Yanshi turned to look at him: "Secretary Li, don't try to intimidate me with on-site handling. When I was working at the procuratorate, you were probably writing reports in some office!"

Li Dakang felt a lump in his throat and couldn't help but say, "Old Chen, you shouldn't be like this now. The Municipal Party Committee will understand the situation at Dafeng Factory and resolve it!"

Chen Yanshi retorted angrily, "Understand the situation? How long have you been trying to find out? I've written you so many complaint letters, haven't you read any of them?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang was taken aback.

"I didn't see it! Is there a complaint letter?"

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

Only Zhao Donglai came over.

"Secretary Li, this might be true; perhaps your subordinates blocked the whistleblower letter... Please investigate this matter thoroughly when you get back!"

Li Dakang let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at his subordinates around him, he cursed inwardly.

They're all brainless idiots!

Only Zhao Donglai is smart enough; his promotion wasn't in vain!

Li Dakang nodded.

"The people in the petition department are becoming increasingly outrageous! We need to investigate this thoroughly when we get back!"

Qi Tongwei stood to the side, originally intending to say a few polite words, but seeing that Xu Ming and Su Zhe were both there, he swallowed his words.

Xu Ming didn't intervene, but only asked Su Zhe, "Do you know anything about this Chen Yanshi?"

Su Zhe nodded and said, "A retired cadre from the Provincial High Procuratorate, a veteran prosecutor, who has reported many problems on behalf of the people in the past. He has a stubborn temper and a complicated reputation."

Xu Ming said, "Complex reputation?"

Su Zhe looked at Chen Yanshi and said, "Some people think he speaks up for the people, while others think he likes to put his personal prestige before organizational procedures."

Xu Ming said in a low voice, "I've run into them all tonight."

Su Zhe didn't reply, but instead turned his gaze to Li Dakang.

at this time.

Chen Yanshi glared at Li Dakang.

"You're being unreasonable, I'm going to talk to your boss."

Li Dakang frowned.

My boss?

I am a centrally-managed cadre. Do you know who my immediate superior is?

next second.

Chen Yanshi had already dialed the number. After the call connected, he shouted in front of everyone, "Xiao Jinzi, come quick! These leaders are bullying the workers!"

The moment the shout was uttered, the scene fell silent.

Li Dakang's expression changed on the spot.

Qi Tongwei was adjusting his cuffs when his hand stopped abruptly, the cufflinks getting stuck between his fingers and not fastened.

Zhao Donglai also stood there stunned, then looked at Li Dakang.

Su Zhe sighed.

have to.

As expected, the old master of Handong made a dazzling appearance!

Xu Ming glanced at Su Zhe and whispered, "Little Jinzi?"

Su Zhe said, "I guess they're referring to Secretary Sha Ruijin."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming couldn't help but smile.

"Interesting... Little Gold?"

On the other end of the phone, Sha Ruijin's voice came from Chen Yanshi's phone. Because Chen Yanshi had the phone on speakerphone, many people around could hear it.

"Uncle Chen, what's wrong? Where are you?"

Chen Yanshi pointed towards the oil depot, as if Sha Ruijin were right in front of him: "Where am I? I'm at Dafeng Factory! Little Jinzi, let me tell you, there's clearly something wrong with the Dafeng Factory case. The workers' shares have been pledged, Shanshui Group wants to take over this land, and Jingzhou City is forcibly demolishing it without resolving the legal disputes! It's utterly absurd and outrageous!"

Sha Ruijin said, "Uncle Chen, regarding the Dafeng Factory matter, I have already asked Jingzhou City to prioritize the safety of the people."

Chen Yanshi retorted angrily, "Ensure safety? Those workers have torches, and the factory said there are twenty tons of gasoline. If they're pushed to the limit and actually set fire, resulting in major casualties, who in the entire Handong region can bear the responsibility?"

Sha Ruijin paused for a moment, then said, "Uncle Chen, please hand the phone to the person in charge on site."

Chen Yanshi looked at Li Dakang: "Xiao Jinzi wants you to answer the phone."

Li Dakang was completely bewildered.

small...

Little Gold?

His face alternated between pale and flushed as he reluctantly took the phone.

"Secretary Sha, this is Li Dakang."

Sha Ruijin's tone was somber: "Comrade Dakang, as I just said, we cannot escalate the conflict, and we cannot forcibly demolish structures while they are flawed. Why is Old Chen reporting that the demolition is still underway?"

Li Dakang immediately said, "Secretary Sha, the machinery has stopped, and I am organizing the evacuation from the danger zone."

Sha Ruijin asked, "Why was Old Chen stopped by the police outside?"

Li Dakang glanced at the police officers and immediately said, "Their main task is to protect Old Chen's safety... the scene is just too dangerous!"

Sha Ruijin said, "Comrade Chen Yanshi is a revolutionary cadre who emerged from the flames of war and has made contributions to the country. The masses trust him, and you should respect this veteran comrade even more, and use his help to do a good job in mass work! This is not only being responsible for our work, but also being responsible for history!"

Li Dakang gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Secretary Sha, I'll arrange it right away."

Sha Ruijin continued, "Comrades Xu Ming and Su Zhe are on site. You should take the initiative to report, avoid making personal judgments, and especially avoid putting Jingzhou at a disadvantage in front of the inspection team."

Li Dakang said, "I will definitely do it."

After hanging up the phone, Li Dakang returned the phone to Chen Yanshi and turned to shout at the police officers, "Who gave you permission to treat Old Man Chen Yanshi like this? This is outrageous!"

Several police officers stood there, their faces filled with grievance.

Without saying a word, Zhao Donglai stepped forward.

"Secretary Li, I'm sorry. It's all because our Public Security Bureau's work was too simplistic and crude. We only thought about protecting Old Chen's safety...we didn't consider his feelings, and we didn't show any respect..."

Li Dakang sighed.

motherfucker.

Is Zhao Donglai the only loyal one?

Li Dakang looked at Zhao Donglai.

"This time, we are issuing a reprimand to your Jingzhou Public Security Bureau! Please be more careful next time!"

Qi Tongwei stood not far away, staring blankly at Zhao Donglai.

So, besides flattery and gift-giving...

Taking the blame can lead to a promotion...

Li Dakang sincerely said to Chen Yanshi, "Mr. Chen, the scene was chaotic just now, and the staff's methods were rough. On behalf of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, I apologize to you."

Chen Yanshi said coldly, "Don't apologize to me, apologize to the workers."

Li Dakang said, "Okay, once the situation is safe and stable on site, I will explain the situation to the worker representatives."

Chen Yanshi pointed at the oil depot: "Then you should get the machines out now."

Li Dakang turned and ordered: "All machinery must be removed from the factory area immediately. All demolition company personnel must be taken away. The fake police cars must be sealed off, and relevant personnel must be taken into custody according to law."

Upon hearing this, Chang Chenghu became anxious: "Secretary Li, didn't you just say..."

Zhao Donglai reacted faster than anyone else, raising his hand and shouting, "Shut up! Take him away!"

The two police officers escorted Chang Chenghu directly toward the police car.

......

Chang Chenghu was still shouting that he was innocent, but he had only uttered half a sentence when Zhao Donglai gave him a look. The police officer next to him immediately pressed his head down and shoved him into the back seat of the police car.

Li Dakang stood inside the control line, his face darker than the night. His earlier suggestion to allow machinery to enter the field had become a hot potato, and Chang Chenghu, that idiot, almost blurted it out in public.

He looked at Zhao Donglai and said in a hard tone, "Donglai, take all the demolition company personnel under control. Find out who let them in, who provided the police car, and who gave the verbal orders."

Zhao Donglai immediately replied, "Yes, Secretary Li, I will arrange for the special task force to secure the evidence right away."
