Nominal: The Handong Game, the Energy System's Counterattack

"A police chief is the primary person responsible for the safety and stability of the area under his jurisdiction."

"Several hundred people have been gathering at Dafeng Factory for a long time, and the public's emotions are extremely unstable, with the possibility of a mass incident at any time."

"More than 20 tons of gasoline, placed among these people, would be a huge powder keg."

"It could threaten the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people in Guangming District, Jingzhou City at any time."

"You received my report and ignored it? You even told me not to get involved in Dafeng Factory's affairs?"

Zhou Chuyi tapped the armrest of the sofa with his right hand, his voice growing colder and colder.

"Why doesn't Zhao Donglai get dealt with?" Zhou Chuyi asked.

The people in the office were too intimidated to utter a sound by Zhou Chuyi's icy questioning.

Zhou Chuyi's eyes fell on Cheng Du, whose forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

Cheng Du glanced at Sun Liancheng and Zhao Dehan, then hesitated for a moment.

Not daring to hide it, he revealed the deep-seated personal entanglements and complexities involving Dafeng Factory in Jingzhou City.

"The reason why Director Zhao of the Municipal Bureau doesn't care about Dafeng Factory is because of Chen Yanshi." Cheng Du gritted his teeth.

"He restructured Dafeng Factory. Zhao Donglai also has a good relationship with his son, Chen Haiguan, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province. He can get away with anything Chen Yanshi says."

"Chen Yanshi?" Zhou Chuyi tapped the armrest of the sofa with his right hand. "Such a great reputation."

"I've only been in Handong for a few days, but I've already heard many people mention his name."

"The Second Procuratorate of Handong is renowned."

"Come on, tell me in detail, what does this have to do with him?" Zhou Chuyi asked Cheng Du to sit down.

"Comrade Chen Yanshi was a retired deputy chief prosecutor from the former Provincial People's Procuratorate. He had a great influence in the organization in Handong."

"The state-owned enterprise reform of Dafeng Factory was spearheaded and promoted by Comrade Chen Yanshi."

"He restructured Dafeng Factory and distributed shares to its employees, which earned him high prestige among them."

"His son, Chen Hai, is the director of the provincial anti-corruption bureau."

Zhou Chuyi nodded slightly, signaling Cheng Du to continue.

"City Bureau Chief Zhao Donglai and Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau Chief Chen Hai have a very close personal relationship."

"Over the years, Comrade Chen Yanshi has always cared about the workers of Dafeng Factory."

No one saw the smirk that Zhou Chuyi’s lips twitched with sarcasm when Cheng Du mentioned Chen Yan’s connection to the workers of Dafeng Factory.

"Even after retiring, Mr. Chen continued to pay attention to the affairs of Dafeng Factory."

"Whenever something happens at Dafeng Factory, their union chairman will go to see Old Chen."

"After the equity of Dafeng Factory was awarded to Shanshui Group, Mr. Chen believed that Shanshui Group colluded with the bank and the government to swallow up the equity of Dafeng Factory."

He believes that the rights of the employees of Dafeng Factory have been violated, and has repeatedly spoken out in public to support the people of Dafeng Factory in defending their rights.

"So, you mean that Dafeng Factory has Chen Yanshi backing it up, giving its workers confidence, while Zhao Donglai doesn't care or doesn't want to get involved?"

Looking at Cheng Du, Zhou Chuyi had the idea of ​​getting rid of Zhao Donglai.

When Zhou Chuyi asked so directly, Cheng Du nodded immediately.

"It's not just Director Zhao Donglai; in Jingzhou City, many departments have encountered Chen Yanshi's situation and found it very difficult."

"Director Zhao Donglai took into account Old Chen's seniority and connections in Handong, and was also on good terms with Chen Hai."

"Because of the Dafeng Factory matter, Old Chen approached Director Zhao Donglai several times."

"Therefore, on the issue of Dafeng Factory, Director Zhao and the Municipal Bureau have always turned a blind eye, deliberately avoiding and delaying, and even condoning and letting it go."

"Our district police station wanted to intervene, but when they found out, they called me over and reprimanded me."

Having suffered so much at Zhao Donglai's hands for so many years, Cheng Du naturally wanted to say more about Zhao Donglai when he saw that Zhou Chuyi disliked him.

Zhao Donglai was the head of the municipal bureau, his direct superior within the system.

Zhao Donglai never thought highly of him and never gave him a kind look.

If it weren't for Zhao Ruilong's sake, Zhao Donglai would probably have kicked him out long ago.

Zhao Donglai has Li Dakang behind him, so he used to have to act like a grandson in front of them.

Now that I've latched onto a powerful figure, I must make things difficult for Zhao Donglai.

"Sir... there's something else, but I'm not sure if I should say it?"

Cheng Du nervously raised his head, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Anything else? Go ahead and say it."

"Some time ago, our cyber police detected that someone was maliciously spreading rumors online, inciting public opinion, and smearing the government, causing a negative social impact."

"After our branch office opened the case, we quickly arrested and investigated the person who spread rumors online."

"Hmm? What's wrong with this kind of case?" Zhou Chuyi asked, looking at Chengdu.

"It's a minor case, but the person arrested is Zheng Shengli, who is the son of Zheng Xipo, the chairman of the trade union at Dafeng Factory."

"Later, Zheng Xipo sought help from Comrade Chen Yanshi, who then directly approached Director Zhao Donglai. After some negotiation..."

"Zhao Donglai called and told me to release the person..."

Du Cheng looked up somewhat nervously and found that Zhou Chuyi's face was expressionless.

"Director Zhao told me directly to release the person, and I had no choice but to release him."

"The case has been filed?" A strange expression appeared on Zhou Chuyi's face.

Du Cheng seemed to understand Zhou Chuyi's expression.

"The case has been filed. The cyber police conducted a preliminary investigation, followed by further investigation and evidence collection."

"Up to the final detention, all procedures were carried out in accordance with laws and regulations, and all documents were available."

"Very good." Zhou Chuyi nodded.

Upon hearing those two words, Cheng Du's heart pounded.

He decided to go back and organize all the files for this case, just in case they might come in handy later.

"Given the lessons learned from the past, the Municipal Bureau turned a blind eye to the Dafeng Factory incident."

"Our Guangming District branch is too low-level and we don't have enough manpower."

"Moreover, Chen Yanshi could even make a phone call to the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I..."

"Our Guangming District Police Station has absolutely no way to deal with this."

"We can only watch helplessly as the situation continues to deteriorate, and hidden dangers accumulate until it reaches the state it is today."

Cheng Du fully explained the difficulties their branch office faced regarding the Dafeng Factory matter.

The Guangming District branch was helpless in the face of dereliction of duty by superiors and interference from personal relationships.

After he finished reporting the situation, the office fell silent again, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy and oppressive.

Zhou Chuyi's gaze was deep; he neither showed anger nor readily expressed his opinion.

He listened quietly to all the reports, his eyes growing increasingly cold.

He had almost complete knowledge of the whole thing.

After a moment, he spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority.

"Director Cheng, I will report the situation you described to the Provincial Party Committee."

"Since the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau doesn't care, your branch bureau can't and dares not do it either."

"Then I'll take care of this."

Zhou Chuyi knew that his most important task in coming to Handong was to cause trouble.

If you're going to cause trouble, you need a pretext.

It seems the first target has appeared.
