Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Wang Wenge was determined to go all out.

Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Even the most ruthless person fears someone who has no regard for their life.

Wang Wenge's actions instantly shocked everyone present.

The demolition team, which had been eager to move forward, all stopped in their tracks, and no one dared to take a single step forward.

Instead, they retreated and ran away.

Making money is inherently important.

Now it seems that staying alive is the most important thing.

Not far away, workers lifted up a plastic sheet, revealing a large pile of fireworks and firecrackers underneath.

Such a scene was extremely shocking.

The live stream chat exploded with excitement, and the screen was flooded with comments.

The scene was deathly silent; most people were terrified by Wang Wenge's desperate demeanor.

Everyone is made of flesh and blood; fear is a part of us.

fear death!

It is innate.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Donglai felt a pang of anxiety and quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Wang Wenge, calm the hell down!"

Impulsiveness is the devil; never take extreme actions, or you'll suffer the consequences!

I really want to cancel, but I really can't.

If he retires, let alone advance to become the vice mayor, he probably won't even be able to keep his current position as the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Wu Xiongfei attempted to appease and calm Wang Wenge, but in reality, he was slowly backing down.

"Wang Wenge, don't make another mistake! Put down the torches and the dangerous goods, calm down, and I can apply to my superiors to try to give you a lenient sentence and exempt you from further accountability!"

Forget about progress, staying alive is the only thing that matters.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Wenge turned to look at Wu Xiongfei with a mocking expression and sneered, "Mayor Wu, damn it, do you even have the right to adjudicate cases?"

Everyone in Jingzhou knows that the power to interpret the laws of Jingzhou rests with President Chen Qingquan of the Intermediate People's Court!

Wang Wenge caught a glimpse of Chen Qingquan. "Dean Chen, tell me, was what I did today right or wrong?"

All eyes were on Chen Qingquan, who was watching from the sidelines.

Seeing this, Chen Qingquan was not afraid. Instead, he took two steps forward and said, "Wang Wenge, there is no right or wrong."

Think it over carefully. You have elderly parents and young children to support, and your family is waiting for you to come home. Acting impulsively could ruin your entire family. It's not worth it.

If you were gone, your parents would be old, lonely, and homeless.

Chen Qingquan's idea was to influence Wang Wenge.

After all, people are all made of flesh and blood.

Also, Chen Qingquan knew that Wang Wenge was a filial son.

Wu Xiongfei saw that Chen Qingquan's persuasion seemed to have some effect.

The situation seemed to have stabilized for the time being, and he quickly gave Zhao Donglai a few instructions.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, he quietly led Han Baoqiang away by fifty meters.

A seasoned official is adept at seeking advantage and avoiding harm, and at extricating himself from trouble.

Just then, an official vehicle sped up and stopped on the side of the road in the factory area.

Li Dakang and Fang Ping got out of the car one after the other, followed by Secretary Jin.

Under the cover of night, Qi Tongwei and Feng Liqun had been watching for a long time not far away.

Now that Wu Xiongfei has hidden himself, it's time for him to take the stage.

Gasoline was scattered everywhere in front of the Dafeng Factory, firecrackers were piled up, and workers were fighting for their lives, creating an extremely dangerous scene.

Passersby who had initially gathered to watch the commotion turned and retreated as the situation became increasingly extreme, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Only Qi Tongwei, Li Dakang, Feng Liqun, and Fang Ping, undeterred by danger, steadily moved forward, directly confronting the core of the conflict.

Cheng Du, Zhang Shuli, Sun Liancheng and other cadres followed closely behind. Although they were a little flustered, they showed no fear.

Zheng Shengli continued to livestream on his phone, maintaining high viewership.

But as he watched the increasingly extreme scene, he gradually felt panicked and his feet involuntarily moved backward.

No matter how popular an internet celebrity is, it's not as important as your own life.

Qi Tongwei stepped forward, his posture upright, and slowly began to persuade him.

"Wang Wenge, this is Qi Tongwei, the executive vice governor."

You should quickly put down the torch and remove any dangerous items from your body.

Acting impulsively can ruin your life. Live well.

If you die, your wife might become someone else's bride.

Another man might move into the house you bought.

Your child might call another man "Dad."

Rough words are not rough.

Wang Wenge looked up at Qi Tongwei and said, "Governor Qi, what you're saying makes sense."

For us ordinary workers, Dafeng Factory is our lifeline, our destiny.

With the closure of Dafeng Factory, hundreds of us workers were completely unemployed, with no hope for survival, and my life lost all meaning!

What difference is there between being alive and being dead?

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei showed no airs of a high-ranking official, nor did he show the slightest disdain.

She simply sighed softly, then took another half step forward, getting closer to Wang Wenge. "Wang Wenge, I understand your difficulties."

Those few words instantly soothed most of the anger in Wang Wenge's heart.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

The officials present either emphasized rules, laws, or consequences, but Qi Tongwei alone showed understanding for the hardships faced by those at the bottom.

"I, Qi Tongwei, am the son of a farmer. I am a native of the countryside. I have eaten the bitterest food and walked the most difficult roads."

What the people of Qijia Village have fought so hard to protect has never been fame or fortune, but simply the will to survive.

Having enough to eat and wear is their simple ideal.

Dafeng Factory was your support, the source of livelihood for hundreds of workers like you. With the factory gone, your future is completely hopeless.

If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give up either; I would fight tooth and nail.

His words were heartfelt and relatable.

The tense atmosphere in the room quietly eased.

Wang Wenge did not expect Qi Tongwei to say that.

Wang Wenge was actually a little moved; his bloodshot eyes trembled slightly, and his fingers, which were tightly gripping the torch, unconsciously loosened a little.

"Governor Qi, is that really what you think?"

Wang Wenge could hardly believe his ears.

He originally thought that all high-ranking officials were as hypocritical and selfish as Wu Xiongfei.

He only knows how to fool the people. I never expected that the dignified executive vice governor would understand me so well.

Just that one sentence, "I am the son of a farmer," resonated with Wang Wenge.

That's right, Wang Wenge's father was also a farmer.

Qi Tongwei nodded.

No empty promises or grandstanding.

Changing the subject, he said, "Wang Wenge, you need to distinguish right from wrong and weigh the pros and cons."

Fighting for your rights is fine, but never gamble with your life.

By lighting these firecrackers and burning gasoline today, you risk your life, only to end up with your family destroyed and your reputation tarnished.

Those who truly cheated you and schemed against Dafeng Factory continue to live peacefully without paying any price.

If you risk everything, you'll only ruin yourself and your family. Who benefits in the end?

I think you got ripped off on this.

The straightforward and clear principles strike a chord with people.

Wang Wenge's eyes reddened, his voice hoarse, and he choked out, "Governor Qi, if we don't fight with our lives on the line, we'll have no way out!"

They protect each other, and we ordinary people have no way to complain or file a complaint. What other options do we have besides risking our lives?

Did Mr. Chen Yanshi not come today?

Who else will speak up for us?

I don't believe Li Dakang, and I don't believe Wu Xiongfei even more.

Governor Qi, who can I still trust?

Whom should we believe?!

Waaah!

Qi Tongwei said solemnly and firmly, "Wang Wenge, don't worry, the sky in Handong is not so dark that the people have nowhere to go."

Put down what you're holding and stand with me.

Today, I, Qi Tongwei, am here, in front of the entire internet, in front of all the workers, and in front of all the cadres, to make this promise to you.

I personally oversaw the investigation into the disputes at Dafeng Factory and the chaos of forced demolitions, determined to get to the bottom of it and show absolutely no leniency!

Those who should be held accountable will be held accountable, and those who deserve compensation will be compensated. We will absolutely not let honest people suffer losses, and we will absolutely not let ordinary people suffer injustice!

He exudes a commanding presence and possesses a powerful personal charisma that inspires confidence.

The entire room fell silent instantly, and all eyes were focused on Qi Tongwei.

The group of cadres who had retreated and avoided trouble were suddenly overshadowed.

Ability and charisma are only highlighted by the contrast with one's peers.
