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

(The remaining two chapters will be posted later, expected to be released before 14 PM. I can't stay up any longer.)

Chen Yanshi rode his electric scooter along the road toward Dafeng Factory. There was no road construction going on here!

The journey was very smooth! However, he wasn't in the mood to wander around here anymore. He had been arguing with the police for a long time, and now he just hoped that Dafeng Factory wouldn't be demolished.

He had almost turned the electric scooter up to its maximum speed. A few minutes later, Chen Yanshi finally arrived and saw the tanker truck and fire truck at the entrance.

He took a look and found that none of the machines used for the demolition were there, and that Dafeng Factory was still in good condition, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

When Chen Yanshi appeared, Wang Wenge realized that he had only been talking for a short time when Chen Yanshi arrived. His first suspicion was that Chen Yanshi had colluded with the other party. However, Chen Yanshi was the highest-ranking official he knew who was on his side. If Chen Yanshi was involved in the conspiracy...

Then there's nothing I can do.

Chen Yanshi parked his electric scooter directly in front of the Dafeng Factory gate and said, "Let's see who's trying to demolish Dafeng Factory!"

He noticed Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang, and others standing in the distance.

"Gao Yuliang, are you standing against the people? This Dafeng Factory concerns thousands of families; you can't forcibly demolish it!"

When Gao Yuliang saw Chen Yanshi approaching, he knew that Chen was definitely there to stir up trouble, but was he going to drag him into it? No, he was going to drag Sha Ruijin into it.

"Old boss, what does this Dafeng factory have to do with you? The Dafeng factory is illegally storing twenty tons of gasoline. This is a flammable and explosive place. You should stay away from here." Gao Yuliang asked, seemingly unaware of the situation.

Upon hearing Gao Yuliang's words, Ma Guangming, Li Dakang, and some other Standing Committee members watching the live broadcast all had the same feeling: Gao Yuliang was truly insidious!

You, Gao Yuliang, already know that Chen Yanshi is Sha Ruijin's adoptive father, and that your trusted disciple Qi Tongwei is the Director of the Public Security Bureau. Isn't it easy for you to investigate such matters? Is it really that difficult to bribe the workers at Dafeng Factory?

This is an attempt to elicit a confession! However, Gao Yuliang seemed genuinely puzzled and was seeking clarification here.

"I restructured this Dafeng Factory, so naturally I have to protect their interests."

"The workers are just storing gasoline to protect Dafeng Factory. What could they have done wrong? And it's just storing some gasoline. What problems could there be in normal times?" Chen Yanshi seemed completely unaware of the danger of this behavior.

"Old leader, this Dafeng Factory doesn't look like a proper garment factory at all. Look, there's barbed wire here, and there are trenches inside. How can it be a proper garment factory?" Gao Yuliang said.

Hearing Gao Yuliang's words, Chen Yanshi felt somewhat proud, after all, hearing Gao Yuliang say these things was precisely due to his own efforts!

If Chen Yanshi were thinking straight, he wouldn't have dug trenches, used Molotov cocktails, or put up barbed wire on the walls!

He said with a hint of smugness, "These were all built by the workers of Dafeng Factory under my guidance. This is how we resisted the forced demolition of Dafeng Factory and protected the jobs of the workers."

"What about the gasoline? That's a whole twenty tons of gasoline!" Gao Yuliang frowned as he looked at Chen Yanshi.

"Those gasoline were stored by the workers at my request. They can sell them to increase their income. And they can also help stop you from forcibly demolishing the Dafeng factory."

Before Gao Yuliang could say more than a few words, Chen Yanshi said everything that should and shouldn't have been said.

Gao Yuliang tried his best to dissuade him, saying that Chen Yanshi was a self-destructive truck!

From any perspective, Gao Yuliang did more than enough for his former boss. Anyone who encounters such a leader would feel helpless!

Gao Yuliang then gestured for Ma Guangming to speak, since it was Ma Guangming who had just spoken with Wang Wenge, and it wouldn't be appropriate to change people now.

Ma Guangming directly told Chen Yanshi what they had discussed earlier.

"Comrade Chen Yanshi, we hope you can help us witness this. We will thoroughly investigate the Dafeng Factory incident, and we also hope you can help us eliminate the safety hazards in Handong," Ma Guangming said.

"No, that won't do. If you drain the gasoline, what will we use to protect Dafeng Factory?"

The situation has now become like this: the employees of Dafeng Factory agree, the Public Security Bureau agrees, but Chen Yanshi disagrees.

Ma Guangming wouldn't give Chen Yanshi any face. You are Sha Ruijin's adoptive father, so Sha Ruijin should give you face, but this is a safety issue. What will happen to you if it really explodes?

He was in charge of safety and could very well be laid off or even held accountable, so he couldn't care less about Chen Yanshi. "You're Gao Yuliang's boss, not mine. I'm not the one who'll get the blame."

Ma Guangming picked up a megaphone and shouted at the workers watching the scene, "How about I sign a guarantee for you? Not only will I sign, but Secretary Dakang will also sign, proving that we will not forcibly demolish Dafeng Factory. How about you let us in to extract the oil?"

Ma Guangming made the decision directly on behalf of Li Dakang. One was the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, and the other was the Vice Governor in charge of security; neither could escape. Gao Yuliang, on the other hand, was able to avoid this predicament.

Although Li Dakang was somewhat helpless, he still agreed with Ma Guangming's statement.

These people started discussing it over there.

"Old Wang, are we really going to let the authorities come in and drain the gasoline? What if it's like what Old Chen said? We'll have no way to resist the forced demolition."

"And we'll get a share of the profits from selling these gasoline, won't we?"

"Did you get your hands on that money? What if this gasoline storage tank explodes at the slightest touch?" Wang Wenge was an active protector of the factory, but that didn't mean he was going to die.

It doesn't mean you're constantly next to a bomb.

"Besides, we have Molotov cocktails, and it's not like we can't buy gasoline. If we want gasoline, we can just take the can to the gas station and fill up."

"I also think that what Wen Ge said is right. It would be best to get these twenty tons of gasoline out of the factory so that our Dafeng Factory can be more secure. If that doesn't work, we can take a picture of today's guarantee and post it online."

"I also think it should be moved out."

In the end, the people inside Dafeng Factory agreed to remove the twenty tons of gasoline from the factory.

Chen Yanshi stood guard at the gate, intending to prevent the tanker truck from entering, but he was immediately pulled aside by the police. The tanker truck entered the Dafeng factory and directly collected the oil from inside.

From having his back to Dafeng Factory to facing it directly, Chen Yanshi felt as if the tanker truck wasn't taking away oil, but rather his and Dafeng Factory's hopes and methods of surrounding Dafeng Factory.

"I'm going to call our provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin, and ask him to uphold justice for me. You can't block the signal."
