In name only, I, Gao Yuliang, will sink Handong at worst.

Li Dakang was about to say that this was not a good idea!

But he immediately realized that if Sha Ruijin didn't take responsibility, then the responsibility would fall on his own shoulders. After all, it's better to die for your friend than for yourself!

"I wholeheartedly agree with Secretary Yuliang's suggestion that our Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee go there to collect evidence and verify the facts. We're not dealing with this matter right now, we're just going to confirm things! Otherwise, we might make a big fool of ourselves. Besides, Secretary Guofu and Secretary Sha are currently on an inspection tour."

"If we wait for them to return and inspect, who knows how many unexpected things might happen in the meantime?"

"We'll be holding a Standing Committee meeting later to connect with Secretary Sha and Tian Guofu to determine a solution," Li Dakang agreed immediately.

The provincial government wants to shirk its responsibilities, and there's not much to object to.

Ma Guangming spoke up: "I agree."

He couldn't wait to get rid of the blame, and when he looked at Gao Yuliang, his eyes were filled with gratitude.

Liu Changsheng: "I agree."

No one objected.

Gao Yuliang glanced at it and then said, "In that case, I suggest we change into simpler clothes and skip the chauffeur service; let's travel in other vehicles instead! I've already had my secretary prepare the clothes for us."

These people are all wearing white shirts with Party badges on their chests, as if they're afraid others won't notice. As for their private cars, one is named Handong 00002 and the other is named Handong 00003. Are they worried about not being conspicuous?

At 11 o'clock, several cars left the provincial party committee compound and drove towards Dafeng Factory.

A dozen or so people got off the bus and saw that there really was barbed wire on the wall of Dafeng Factory. As for what was inside, no one could tell what it was.

Qi Tongwei, accompanied by several plainclothes police officers, guarded the area and even launched a drone to film the inside of the Dafeng factory.

Li Dakang looked at the trenches inside, the trenches were winding and twisting, and there were people holding shovels and other tools, guarding the area. It was his territory, so close to the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, yet he still didn't know what was going on.

Li Dakang saw two policemen directing traffic in the distance. There weren't many vehicles around, so these two were practically there all the time. He quickly went over to greet them.

Upon seeing the approaching person, Wang Kang assumed that the other party had something to ask him for help, but this face looked so much like that of the municipal party secretary. He glanced at the group of people in the distance; although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, their demeanor suggested they were high-ranking leaders.

You can also see Qi Tongwei, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department.

Wang Kang quickly alerted the other person, "The municipal party secretary is here. Be careful, and those people over there all look like high-ranking officials!"

When Li Dakang arrived in front of them, the two men saluted him, and Li Dakang knew that they had recognized him.

Who has jurisdiction over this area?

"This area is under the jurisdiction of Director Cheng Du of the Guangming District Public Security Bureau."

"Call Cheng Du over here. Tell me what's going on with this Dafeng Factory," Li Dakang said, pointing at Wang Kang and indicating that he wanted Wang Kang to explain the situation.

"How long have you been on duty here?"

"We've been on duty here for six months now. Police officers change shifts frequently, so there are people guarding this place 24 hours a day."

"How much do you know about the situation at Dafeng Factory?" Li Dakang asked.

"What I know is that this factory stored a lot of gasoline and dug trenches and made Molotov cocktails to obstruct the demolition."

"Why didn't your Guangming District Police Station clear this landmine?"

"Secretary Li, our entire Guangming District branch has more than 2,000 people, but after deducting those on duty and those who cannot be mobilized, the maximum number of people that can be mobilized is more than 200. Previously, Director Cheng and District Mayor Sun organized a team of more than 400 people to go and deal with the gasoline tanks."

"But there were about a hundred people on duty inside, and then they brought in over a thousand more, carrying torches and spilling gasoline on the ground. We couldn't handle it at all! We reported it to Director Zhao Donglai, but there's been no response. What can we do?"

"We can only keep a close watch on it. We stand guard here during the day and at night because people from the district government come to stand guard. On weekdays, the traffic police also come here to check on things."

Li Dakang had only one feeling: Gao Yuliang, who was above him, knew, and Sun Liancheng and Cheng Du, who were below him, also knew, but he and the municipal party committee did not.

Li Dakang called Sun Liancheng and asked him to come over and report as well.

Gao Yuliang and the others took many photos there, including relevant evidence and photos of their investigation.

After receiving the order, Cheng Du and Sun Liancheng rushed over.

The two arrived at the same time and were immediately taken aback to see so many members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee here.

Everyone gathered around.

Cheng Du repeated his previous explanation, and then Li Dakang looked at Sun Liancheng.

"Secretary Dakang, immediately after Director Cheng reported to me, I notified Ding Yizhen and Zhao Donglai, and also made the above report in writing. This Dafeng Factory is located on the site of the Guangmingfeng demolition project. Ding Yizhen said he would handle it himself; he is the person in charge of the Guangmingfeng project."

"I reported this to you in person before, but when you heard about Dafeng Factory and Guangming Peak, you told me to go find Ding Yizhen and not let me speak. I also submitted a written report to you. It hasn't been dealt with yet." Sun Liancheng had barely finished speaking.

Li Dakang spoke up: "That son of a bitch Ding Yizhen actually dared to intercept the report. I swear on this, I have absolutely not seen your report about Dafeng Factory."

Li Dakang was practically jumping up and down. If Sun Liancheng reported it and he didn't handle it, then he would be the one to take the blame.

Regardless of whether Ding Yizhen actually obstructed it or not, he should just push all the blame onto Ding Yizhen. Later, Li Dakang will thoroughly investigate whether there are any other moles. Doesn't he care about his reputation in front of all the Standing Committee members?

Are we supposed to admit our mistakes here?

"Don't spread this around, and don't spread the news of our arrival either, so as not to disturb Dafeng Factory. In the end, Comrade Dakang will have to thoroughly investigate the Municipal Party Committee," Gao Yuliang summarized.

Li Dakang nodded with a gloomy expression.
