In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

Chapter 68 The Fish in Qi Tongwei's Pond

Lin Zhiyuan reviewed the new version of the anti-gang crime action plan, which was much more concise than the previous version, focusing on six key areas for case handling:

1. Construction engineering, demolition and land acquisition, and mineral sand and gravel.

2. Market monopoly, logistics and freight, agricultural markets

3. Rural grassroots areas and township fields

4. "Gambling, prostitution, and drugs" + usury and violent debt collection

5. Transportation, dock storage yard, and construction waste transportation

6. Entertainment venues, bars, KTVs, and bathhouses

In addition, two new trends:

Soft violence and organized crime: such as harassment, pestering, blocking keyholes, spraying paint, stalking and harassment, used for debt collection, forced eviction, and market monopoly;

Protective umbrella: Focus on investigating public officials who protect and tip off criminal gangs, participate in profit sharing, and interfere with law enforcement.

It can be said to cover all aspects of the lives of the people in Handong, and to centrally deal with the bullying behavior of industry bullies.

Lin Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the large fish that Qi Tongwei had treasured. Each one was the kind that could cause a stir in Handong, and it was Qi Tongwei's decisive achievement in advancing his career.

Li, the retired chairman of the provincial association, has long interfered in local personnel matters and the approval of major projects through his former subordinates; his children have monopolized municipal engineering projects and engaged in usury.

It has become an unspoken rule for businesses to visit his hometown to "pay their respects."

Qian, a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, was not formally trained in law enforcement, but he followed the example of Gao Yuliang by becoming a mentor and taking on apprentices within the political and legal system, forming the Jiangdong Gang. Interfering in case handling, protecting organized crime, and extorting money from prisoners have formed an industrialized business chain. It is said that death row inmates can be given a new identity and see the light of day the next day.

He was known as the man who couldn't protect anyone in Jiangdong.

The case of Xun, a member of the Tianyang District of Tianzhen City, involved organized crime. He monopolized concrete, mining, and sand mining; violently seized, colluded in bidding, and illegally mined 9 million yuan worth of minerals; operated a loan sharking operation and formed a violent debt collection gang of hundreds of people, many of whom were wanted criminals. He drove several borrowers and competitors to their deaths, and no one dared to report him.

He recruited numerous public officials to act as his protectors.

It is said that Xun enshrined the tablets of his protectors in his ancestral hall, numbering nearly a hundred, seeking different levels of protection for different matters.

Every single incident was covered in blood.

"Why not take action to solve the problem?"

Lin Zhiyuan frowned deeply.

Aside from the retired chairman of that provincial association, the best other protector would be a mayor at the provincial level. If the report is submitted to Gao Yuliang, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the evidence is conclusive, the matter can be resolved by simply going through the procedures at the Standing Committee meeting.

"Taking down the culprit is easy, but the aftermath will be significant!"

Qi Tongwei smiled bitterly, "Take Qian, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Jiangdong City, for example. He corrupted the entire political and legal system. Moreover, that kind of mentor-apprentice system could easily have a negative impact on Secretary Gao, and might even force the Handa clique to come out into the open. At that time, it will only be a matter of time before the Handa clique is purged."

"Take, for example, Xun of Tianyang."

"Xun's business is a family-run or village-run operation. Xunjia Village is a large village with about 5000 people, and almost every family is involved. Moreover, his protectors range from the mayor of Jiangdong City to police officers and urban management officers. If a cleanup is carried out, it will be a collapse-style downfall."

"Governor Lin, tell the truth."

"I didn't deal with them before, partly because I wanted to keep them around and give them a boost at a crucial moment in my career; but also because they were difficult to manage, and I still haven't figured out a perfect solution."

Qi Tongwei saluted and said solemnly.

Any one of these cases, once exposed, could cause a huge wave of public opinion, and it would be extremely difficult for the provincial party committee to suppress them even with its best efforts.

The most important thing is the viewpoint above.

Those in power have no time for empathy or understanding; they only think the Handong team is incompetent. And when the team members suffer the consequences, they will only vent their anger on him, the one who caused the trouble.

Don't talk about progress by then.

Even the bones of Qi Tongwei and his family might not be found.

This is not nonsense.

There are precedents in Handong:

Two years ago, on Mayor Lin Nan's birthday, 368 of his subordinates gave him money directly, totaling 289 million yuan. This was not an isolated incident, but a systemic gift-giving phenomenon.

The result was that the mayor was convicted of embezzlement and bribery and sentenced to 15 years in prison, while none of the 368 officials who gave him gifts touched the money.

In addition, the head of the Organization Department of Yantai City had an affair with more than 100 female cadres.

Some female cadres booked rooms for him, some offered him money and sex, and some even had their husbands act as pimps.

Get promoted after sleeping with him!

The organization minister was sentenced, but none of the more than one hundred female cadres were touched. They were afraid of divorce, suicide, or chaos, so they could only prioritize maintaining stability.

Their positions have been promoted, but is that fair to other ordinary cadres who have worked diligently and conscientiously their whole lives?

Up to now.

This collective collapse has become a source of pain for almost all managers, and even a Damocles' sword hanging over their heads.

It could explode at any moment.

However, compared to the big fish that Qi Tongwei had in his hands, the two cases that were exposed were insignificant.

Looking back, it turns out...

The smallest group of fish turned out to be that of the retired chairman.

"Oh? There really are that many?"

Lin Zhiyuan's eyes lit up as if he had seen a bone.

"Governor Lin, you can't!"

Qi Tongwei panicked when he thought of this person's tendency to expose secrets. "Handong has recently experienced a series of major events that have shaken the higher-ups. One or two times is one thing, but the higher-ups will absolutely not allow it to continue. That would mean that the Handong leadership lacks control over the lower levels, and a chain reaction of collapse would occur. I'm afraid the entire Handong leadership, including you, will be punished."

Qi Tongwei didn't know if Elder Yan could protect Lin Zhiyuan, but the person who caused this trouble would definitely suffer a terrible fate.

Qincheng was his only refuge.

Oh!

He wasn't qualified, so he could only go to Yancheng.

"Don't panic! Don't be afraid!"

"Let's take it one at a time. Besides, I can handle it."

Lin Zhiyuan offered some comforting words.

not good!

Qi Tongwei gasped inwardly, feeling greatly uneasy.

My life is over!

"Director Qi, Secretary Dakang and I went to Beijing and secured approvals for two subway lines. Construction will begin no later than the beginning of the year."

Do you know any demolition subcontracting teams?

Lin Zhiyuan asked with a serious expression.

what?

Qi Tongwei was a little confused, not understanding why the executive vice president would pay attention to a demolition team.

But he really does have it.

It's quite a coincidence that he is the cousin of Cheng Du, the director of the Guangming branch of the Public Security Bureau.

Because of the intersection with Dafeng Factory.

Cheng Du successfully left a slight impression on Director Qi.

However, this person's background is problematic.

He checked Cheng Du's resume and was surprised to find that he was actually someone secretly promoted by Zhao Ruilong.

A smile, however, appeared in Lin Zhiyuan's eyes.

He said all this just to bring up Chang Chenghu, this nobody. Fortunately, Qi Tongwei may be a bit slow-witted, but he'll tell you the truth.
