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

(This chapter will be completed today, and the ones I owe will also be made up today. In addition, there will be at least three chapters, and possibly four or five more today!)

Chen Yanshi saw the situation at Dafeng Factory. He had just ridden his electric scooter to the road outside Dafeng Factory when he immediately noticed the difference in the surroundings. One obvious difference was that there were more police officers on duty around the area, especially traffic police.

Moreover, some roads are completely off-limits to visitors. If you live near Dafeng Factory, you can walk there and there are machines carrying out construction in a seemingly legitimate manner.

There aren't many people living around here, and I didn't find anything strange about it; it's just road construction.

Chen Yanshi wanted to drive his electric scooter into Dafeng Factory, but there was a sign in front of him.

"Road construction ahead, no passage allowed." A yellow sign stood in the middle of the road, blocked off with red and white tape.

The area was surrounded by countless ice cream cones, and police officers were blocking the way outside.

Chen Yanshi immediately sensed something was wrong. Were they demolishing Dafeng Factory? He had felt something was off when he noticed a lot of traffic police on the road earlier. He thought they were checking for drunk driving, but he didn't expect them to be waiting for him here.

He quickly rode his electric scooter to another road, only to find that this road was also blocked.

"Sir, this road is blocked; many roads here are closed. I can show you the way."

Chen Yanshi stared defiantly at the police officer in front of him and asked, "Are you here to demolish Dafeng Factory?"

Upon hearing the words "Dafeng Factory," the policeman's expression immediately changed. He knew why he was coming tonight: the main task was to extract twenty tons of gasoline from Dafeng Factory.

With the risk of explosions looming at any moment, their job is to prevent outsiders from entering, including ordinary citizens, and even more so, to guard against disturbances by the workers of Dafeng Factory.

Chen Yanshi noticed the other person's expression change, and immediately abandoned his electric scooter to walk inside, using the sidewalk next to him.

Several police officers nearby quickly came over and stopped Chen Yanshi.

"Do you know what's being demolished inside? It's Dafeng Factory, which is related to the jobs of more than a thousand people, the livelihoods of more than a thousand families!" Chen Yanshi struggled bitterly.

"If Dafeng Factory is gone, Jingzhou will be in big trouble!" Chen Yanshi was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, about to throw a tantrum.

With these police officers deployed and under strict surveillance, if an octogenarian could still sneak in or use some other means to get in, then they would be out of a job and could just write their resignation the next day.

Chen Yanshi was immediately blocked, preventing the other party from entering.

A police officer communicated directly with the back office through the police system: "There is an old man in his eighties on Wangping South Road who wants to go to Dafeng Factory. I stopped him, but he is quite old. Please have an ambulance take note."

Qi Tongwei was pleased to hear the news from the police. He knew who it was—Chen Yanshi, of course. Who else would care about this?

Moreover, Chen Yanshi's arrogance stems from his age and the teacher's respect for him.

The fact that Chen Yanshi is Sha Ruijin's adoptive father is currently only known to a few members of the Standing Committee, including him. After all, if this kind of thing were to get out, it would be embarrassing for everyone, so it hasn't been spread to the next level.

Qi Tongwei knew this, naturally because he was Gao Yuliang's confidant! Could anyone else compare to him?

Among those present were Vice Governor Ma Guangming, Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li Dakang, and Gao Yuliang.

In short, I won't feel at ease until I see the oil being pumped away.

"Secretary Dakang, I know that Dafeng Factory here is not peaceful! There are many petitions. I checked the gasoline this time, but if there is trouble next time, no one will deal with it for you!" Gao Yuliang was actually quite curious whether the Dafeng Factory fire would still have happened if he hadn't been there.

Gao Yuliang knew that the case of Dafeng Factory had not been resolved yet. This time, the main issue was the gasoline. Twenty tons of gasoline were right next to his pillow, making it impossible for him to sleep soundly.

It would be quite good if the oil storage tank could withstand being in Jingzhou for six months; I'm really afraid it might explode!

"Moreover, Dafeng Factory's petitions for stability maintenance have been going on for a long time, and it's a hidden danger in Jingzhou!" Gao Yuliang said calmly from the side.

In his view, Li Dakang was good at boosting GDP, but that was all he had left. His subordinates were disloyal and he relied on the old ways of real estate. In addition, he asked others to relax those conditions, which was a gray area that was neither legitimate nor sustainable.

Li Dakang felt uneasy listening to Gao Yuliang's advice, but he had to admit that Gao Yuliang was right. If a mass incident really broke out, who knew what would happen?

However, verbally, Li Dakang refused to back down: "This is a matter for Jingzhou. Secretary Yuliang, you just need to take care of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's affairs!"

Gao Yuliang smiled, unconcerned. Ma Guangming, standing beside him, watched the scene unfold, realizing that Li Dakang was no match for Gao Yuliang.

Qi Tongwei quickly reported the situation of Chen Yanshi on the outside, "Secretary Yuliang, Governor Guangming, Secretary Dakang, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Just keep Chen Yanshi out there. Don't touch anything else. Don't obstruct us from extracting the gasoline. Let him in after we've extracted all the gasoline," Gao Yuliang said.

There were quite a few police officers discreetly surrounding the Dafeng Factory, and a tanker truck and three fire trucks were also present. These vehicles were very conspicuous and could not be hidden at all.

Those remaining at Dafeng Factory immediately became alert, fearing that the factory would be demolished that night. They tried to call for help but discovered that the network was down and they couldn't make any phone calls. After trying many times, the only numbers that could be dialed were 110 and 120.

But those people were all from the other side.

"What are you doing here? We won't let you demolish this Dafeng Factory." Wang Wenge held a megaphone and looked at the oil tanker in front of him.

The fire truck raised its ladder, and its high-powered lights illuminated the area brightly, but not glaringly, so as not to upset the other party.

Qi Tongwei took the megaphone and said, "We're not here to demolish Dafeng Factory. Dafeng Factory has illegally stored more than 20 tons of gasoline. This gasoline is flammable and explosive, and Dafeng Factory does not meet the storage requirements. We need to remove this gasoline. Only tanker trucks can enter, and fire trucks will be stationed outside to prevent open flames."

"You're right on top of a pile of explosives, and there are signs that the oil tank is leaking."

Wang Wenge looked at the people around him and asked, "Is what those people outside are saying true?"

These people are all indecisive.

"It should be true! All our gasoline was obtained from our storage tanks."

"Those people are completely untrustworthy. We've reported the Dafeng Factory issue to Jingzhou countless times, but there's still no result!"
