He's not stupid; what if Chen Yanshi were to die of anger in his office?
Lin Yunfei was punished.
Chen Yanshi watched Lin Yunfei's retreating figure, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Lin Yunfei, we'll see."
He stood up shakily and walked to his desk. He picked up the black landline and dialed Gao Yuliang's mobile number.
After the call connected, Chen Yanshi's tone was firm and unwavering: "Gao Yuliang, this is Chen Yanshi. Dafeng Factory has suddenly changed its mind. Lin Yunfei wants to forcibly demolish it. He even said it was Li Dakang's order. You must give me an explanation for this."
Upon hearing Chen Yanshi's words, Gao Yuliang's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "Old Chen, I only just found out about this myself. Li Dakang never consults me before making decisions."
"Li Dakang is a domineering person. Back then, he had the old Party Secretary as a political resource for him."
Chen Yanshi snorted coldly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction: "Gao Yuliang, Dafeng Factory was restructured by me back then, and the employees held shares. If you don't care, I, Chen Yanshi, will have no choice but to go to the central government."
Upon hearing Chen Yanshi's threat, Gao Yuliang's tone carried a hint of compromise: "Old Chen, don't be in such a hurry."
"I'll discuss this with Li Dakang and give you a satisfactory answer."
Upon hearing Gao Yuliang's reply, Chen Yanshi's tone softened slightly: "Okay, Gao Yuliang. I'll wait for your news."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yanshi hung up the phone.
Looking in the direction Lin Yunfei left, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes: "Lin Yunfei, you wait. I, Chen Yanshi, will never let you go."
"Come on, Hai Zi. Let's go to the Anti-Corruption Bureau and find Ji Changming."
. . . . . .
With Chen Hai's support, Chen Yanshi walked shakily out of the district government building.
The sunlight shone on his face, but it brought no warmth. His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he had made up his mind.
"Chen Hai, drive me to the Provincial Procuratorate." Chen Yanshi's voice was firm and unwavering.
Chen Hai nodded and helped his father into the car. The Audi slowly started and drove towards the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.
At the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Chen Yanshi met Ji Changming.
He told Ji Changming everything he knew, including the fact that Lin Yunfei, the Party Secretary of Guangming District, wanted to forcibly demolish Dafeng Factory.
After listening to Chen Yanshi's account, Ji Changming frowned and remained silent.
He was well aware of the seriousness of this matter, which concerned not only the survival of Dafeng Factory but also the political ecology of Jingzhou City.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry. We will definitely investigate the Dafeng Factory incident, the employee stock ownership plan, and Cai Chenggong's disappearance." Ji Changming hesitated for a moment, not finishing his sentence.
Ji Changming is a cunning old fox; he never takes sides willingly.
Chen Yanshi felt somewhat comforted upon hearing Ji Changming's words.
He knew that only by relying on the power of the law could justice and fairness be truly upheld.
"Ji Changming, I hope you can act as soon as possible. We can't let innocent people lose their jobs again." Chen Yanshi's expression was firm, and his tone was calm and powerful.
Ji Changming nodded, offering a forced smile: "Old Chen, we will launch an investigation as soon as possible."
"In that case, I'll have my secretary drive Mr. Chen back to the nursing home."
Then, Ji Changming gave Chen Hai a wink.
Chen Hai understood and helped his father to his feet.
50. A gunfight broke out during the rescue of Cai Chenggong.
50. A gunfight broke out during the rescue of Cai Chenggong.
Ji Changming's face was stiff with a forced smile as he personally escorted Chen Yanshi to the elevator.
"Old Chen, take care and get some rest."
The elevator doors slowly closed, and Ji Changming's face turned ashen.
This Chen Yanshi, even though he's retired at such an old age, still can't let go of power.
Back in the day, at the procuratorate, he was still my superior. He seized on the small matter of Zhao Lichun liking to turn on the air conditioning.
It's been said every day, every month, until everyone is tired of it.
Everyone avoided Chen Yanshi.
Ji Changming walked back to his room and closed the office door. He sighed deeply, "Secretary Zhao Lichun was too kind. He still gave Chen Yanshi the retirement benefits of a department-level official."
Now that he's retired, Chen Yanshi has started the "Second Procuratorate of Handong Province," clinging to power even after retirement.
Ji Changming sat at his desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface, pondering how to deal with this "stubborn" old leader.
Ji Changming knew that although Chen Yanshi had retired, his influence in Handong Province was still considerable, and every time he spoke out, it could cause quite a stir.
"It seems I need to find an opportunity to report this situation to the newly arrived Secretary Sha Ruijin," Ji Changming muttered to himself. He understood that although Zhao Lichun had left Handong, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse.
The number of people in the Han University gang is as high as fifty to sixty thousand. They are basically all in the public security, procuratorate and judicial organs of various cities and districts in Handong Province.
It's important to know that Gao Yuliang was able to rise to the position of Standing Committee member of the Provincial Party Committee because of Zhao Lichun's proposal at the Standing Committee meeting years ago.
Ji Changming was a cunning old fox, and of course he knew Zhao Lichun's intentions. It boiled down to two words: checks and balances.
Use Gao Yuliang to check and balance Li Dakang.
Chen Yanshi's actions undoubtedly constituted the abuse of power and the enjoyment of privileges.
Ji Changming picked up the phone, dialed his secretary's number, and instructed, "Prepare some materials regarding Chen Yanshi's recent activities, especially those related to Dafeng Factory. I need to know the details."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Changming took a deep breath, his eyes revealing determination and resolve.
He knew all too well that this game of power allowed no room for complacency. He himself had to remain clear-headed in this game to ensure his position remained secure.
To ensure a peaceful and safe retirement.
Ji Changming is 59 years old this year and will retire in a year.
There's basically no hope of getting promoted. At that point, I'll be relegated to a secondary position and go to the CPPCC.
. . . . . .
Two words
Lin Yunfei received a phone call from his wife, Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan's voice was clear and melodious, like a lark's: "Yunfei. The First and Second Divisions of the National Security Bureau joined forces to investigate all the surveillance cameras in Jingzhou City."
"Cai Chenggong was last seen in Hong County, Dongping City, Jingzhou City. He was drugged and knocked unconscious by a masked man in black."
Lin Yunfei's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but curse, "Great! The people from the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau are all useless."
Zhao Lan: "We used technical means to track the vehicle all the way. We found that they drove into the Wanchuan Commodity Distribution Center in Dongping City."
Lin Yunfei picked up his executive jacket and gave his secretary, Liu Can, a look.
The two walked out of the office one after the other. They took the elevator to the first floor of the district government building and headed straight for the parking lot.
"Lanlan. Could this Wanchuan Supply Distribution Center belong to Wan Hai?"
Lin Yunfei tentatively spoke.
Zhao Lan smiled slightly, offering emotional support: "Wow. Honey, you're amazing."
"To be precise, it was Wang Yu, the general manager of this distribution center, who reported Wan Hai and led to his illegal detention."
Lin Yunfei got into the Land Rover, his expression serious: "I don't trust the public security, procuratorate, and courts of Dongping City anymore."
"I have to transfer police officers from Jingzhou to another location."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei dialed Xiahou Lian, the captain of the Jingzhou Special Police Squadron.
"Xiahou Lian, this is Lin Yunfei from the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Xiahou Lian immediately sprang to his feet, stood up straight, and asked, "Secretary Lin, what are your instructions?"
"Your special police squadron, depart immediately. Head to Dongping City."
"I want to transfer police officers from another region."
Lin Yunfei specifically instructed: "Remember, keep it a secret."
"Meet at the Wanchuan Material Distribution Center in Dongping City in twenty minutes."
Xiahou Lian, the captain of the special police squadron, brightened up: "Yes, sir, I guarantee to complete the mission."
"Remember, do not drive police cars. Everyone must wear civilian clothes, not police uniforms, and turn off the sirens."
"Avoid alerting them." Lin Yunfei repeatedly emphasized.
. . . . .
Twenty minutes later, Lin Yunfei, wearing a police bulletproof vest, arrived at the main entrance of the Wanchuan Material Distribution Center, 500 meters away, accompanied by Li Zheng, the director of the First Division of the National Security Bureau.
At this moment, the SWAT team arrived.
Xiahou Lian got out of a Toyota Prado and jogged along, saying, "Secretary Lin, the SWAT team is fully assembled."
"Captain Xiahou. Let me introduce you. This is Li Zheng, the director of the First Division of the Handong National Security Bureau."
Lin Yunfei held out his hand to show that he was wearing an earpiece.
Li Zheng nodded slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over his surroundings: "Hello, Captain Xiahou."
"Hello, Director Li."
Lin Yunfei lowered his voice and looked at Xiahou Lian: "According to our intelligence, Cai Chenggong may be hiding in some corner of this supply distribution center. But the exact location still needs further investigation."
Xiahou Lian's expression was solemn: "Secretary Lin, we are ready. We will act immediately upon your command."
Lin Yunfei nodded slightly: "Let's proceed. Remember, you must ensure the safety of the hostages."
Xiahou Lian's eyes were resolute: "Let's do it!"
At a command, the special police officers quickly dispersed and silently approached the distribution center.
Lin Yunfei led a group of team members to block off the entrances and exits.
Meanwhile, Xiahou Lian and Li Zheng led another group of team members to quietly infiltrate the distribution center (bjah).
Inside the Wanchuan Material Distribution Center, a flurry of activity was underway. Workers were busy loading and unloading goods, completely unaware of the impending crisis.
Squad leader Xiahou Lian and Li Zheng led the special police officers, carefully moving among the piles of goods, searching for Cai Chenggong's whereabouts.
