Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

With Qi Tongwei's final approval, a raid targeting illegal coal mines was immediately launched.

From the very beginning of the operation, only three people knew about it, completely avoiding the risk of leaks.

Even the militiamen and police officers who participated in the operation only learned the true details of the operation when they were near the illegal coal mine.

At first, Chen Sichao felt it was unnecessary and even wanted to encourage everyone before they set off.

However, Qi Tongwei repeatedly emphasized secrecy, so he gave up the idea of ​​conducting a pre-battle mobilization.

He knew in his heart that being cautious could never do any harm.

The arrest team set off, and Qi Tongwei and Baimaiti were not idle either.

The two of them also got busy in the county, starting to arrange the follow-up resettlement work.

The arrest convoy drove in a long procession into the mountain valleys south of Dayou Township.

The arresting officers got out of their vehicles well in advance, even from a distance.

The mountains were too open and spacious; the sound of a car could be heard far away, and everyone was afraid of alerting the enemy.

After Chen Sichao met up with the officers stationed at the scene and inquired about the situation, he began to plan the arrest.

The specific time for the arrest was set at 5 a.m., which is when people are sleeping the most soundly.

He divided the police officers and militiamen into several groups, forming a perimeter around the illegal coal mine.

After outlining the specific arrest operation, he gave everyone another instruction.

"The actions must be swift and clean, ensuring zero casualties among the arresting personnel, understand?"

His words were cryptic, but everyone understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.

After a long wait, it finally came to five o'clock.

At Chen Sichao's command, the arresting officers immediately darted out from their hiding places, like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

The illegal coal mines had people on night duty, and not only were they on night duty, they also had firearms.

But when they saw the long guns and short cannons in the hands of the police officers, they knelt down without saying a word.

Not only did he kneel down, but he also threw his hunting rifle far away.

In the 1990s, Bianxi was very certain of this.

The moment they dare to fire their guns, they'll suffer from acute iron poisoning.

With the two people on night duty taken care of, the rest of the process was very simple.

It was like, "Smoothly, the door opened smoothly, and I arrived home smoothly."

The remaining thugs in the shack were tied up by the crowd before they even had time to put on their pants.

Of course, there were some very warm greetings during the process, which goes without saying.

Having successfully subdued the thugs at the illegal coal mine, the group began rescuing the trapped miners.

But when the door to the miners' shack was pushed open, an unexpected situation occurred.

The militiaman who opened the door first paused for a moment, then turned and ran, grabbing the coal cart and starting to vomit.

The militiamen nearby exchanged glances, puzzled.

They carefully pushed open the shack door with the barrel of their guns, and couldn't help but gag.

This is hardly a shack; calling it a pigsty wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Flies and mosquitoes swarmed in the shack, and the stench wasn't just pungent; it stung your eyes.

On the dark ground, pots and pans were piled up haphazardly... and there was a person lying next to them.

There was no bed in the room, not even a bed board.

Everyone lay on the ground wrapped in their coats; there was simply no place to put their feet inside the house.

The smell in the room was so strong that everyone had to hold their noses and wake each person up one by one.

These people were terrified of being beaten, and when they saw the crowd, they showed no surprise, their eyes were filled with fear.

With the arrests completed and the scene under control, the situation was brought under control.

Chen Sichao also got out of the jeep and came over to personally direct the operation.

He first had someone count the number of miners who were under control.

You wouldn't believe it until you counted—this tiny illegal coal mine, no bigger than the palm of your hand, had imprisoned more than forty people.

After counting the number of people, Chen Sichao discovered an even bigger problem.

Without exception, all of these miners are disabled.

They are either deaf or mute, or they have intellectual disabilities.

He asked everyone in the circle, but couldn't find a single person who could speak in complete sentences.

Left with no other option, Chen Sichao had to pull one of the thugs aside for questioning.

"Where did these people come from? Where is Jin Hu?"

The thugs knew he was the boss, so they answered honestly.

"These people were brought by Jin Hu... He went down the mountain three days ago, and we don't know where he went."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything useful out of him, Chen Sichao stopped worrying about it.

He immediately ordered that a militia platoon be left to guard the scene, while the rest of the men returned to the county town.

But just before boarding the train, another accident occurred.

A middle-aged miner who had lost his voice suddenly sprang to his senses and refused to get on the vehicle.

He broke free from the crowd's grasp like a madman, pointed at the workers' shed, and shouted incoherently.

Although he couldn't speak, he kept making "abba aba" sounds.

Chen Sichao immediately realized there was a problem.

He sent two experienced officers back into the work shed.

After searching for a while, the two of them found two more people in a corner of the shed.

Two people who were barely breathing and whose lives were about to end.

One was a teenager with a persistent high fever, cracked lips, and was already unconscious.

The other was an old man with a rotten leg, the wound still crawling with granulation tissue, emitting a foul stench.

Seeing the two people being carried out, Chen Sichao could no longer control his temper.

He pulled off his belt and began whipping the thugs beside him.

The belt lashed against his body, the crisp sound echoing through the valley, causing him to howl in agony.

None of the police officers or militiamen standing nearby stepped forward to stop them.

Even worse, some people felt that the beating wasn't satisfying enough and wanted to kick it a few times.

......

When the convoy returned to Fuyuan County, it was already past seven o'clock, and the sky was beginning to lighten.

In the county government compound, a group of colleagues from the health center and the civil affairs department were already waiting.

Most of these miners were sick, not to mention fleas and parasites.

The first thing I did after getting off the bus was to disinfect myself, take a shower, and change clothes...

Seeing that the cleanup work was progressing steadily, Chen Sichao stopped paying attention to the crowd.

He carried his weapon belt and strode quickly toward Qi Tongwei's office.

He knew that neither Qi Tongwei nor Baimaiti had slept; they were both waiting for his news.

Entering Qi Tongwei's office, Chen Sichao sat down on the sofa and began to hurl insults.

"You beasts! You're worse than pigs and dogs! That's not a coal mine, it's a concentration camp!"

More than forty people, all disabled, were being treated like livestock... These people deserve to be skinned alive.

Qi Tongwei frowned, handed him a cigarette, and said in a deep voice.

"Scolding is useless. You should think about whether Fuyuan still has these illegal coal mines."

If so, how much is left, and how should we deal with it...?

Chen Sichao was taken aback, took the cigarette, and nodded.

"Secretary Qi is right. I was too excited and not calm enough."

I suggest conducting a comprehensive, blanket investigation to clean up and shut down these illegal coal mines.

Qi Tongwei nodded and continued to ask.

"Has Jin Hu been caught?"

Chen Sichao lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and answered in a deep voice.

"He's not at the mine. I asked his men, and they said he's been down the mountain for a few days."

Qi Tongwei glanced at the crowd outside the window, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

"Set up surveillance around Li Guofu's house. Jin Hu is very likely to go looking for him..."

Baimaiti sat to the side, nodded, and added a sentence.

"When setting up surveillance, tell them not to disturb Li Guofu. After all, he's a retired senior cadre..."

The three were in the meeting room discussing a plan to capture Jin Hu, but Jin Hu had already sneaked back into the county.

Unbeknownst to them, Jin Hu had already witnessed the entire arrest process.

After witnessing the arrest, Jin Hu not only did not panic, but became even more convinced of his own ideas.

Qi Tongwei cannot be allowed to live! He's going to fight Qi Tongwei to the death...
