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

If Zhou Chuyi were to lay out all the information he had gathered, it could easily resolve the problems at Dafeng Factory.

However, his purpose was not to give Li Dakang political achievements or personal favors.

The Dafeng Factory now holds considerable weight in the overall situation, with far-reaching repercussions and significant impact.

Before things even started to escalate, how could Zhou Chuyi possibly resolve the Dafeng Factory issue?

He didn't call out "Little Gold" because even if he dealt with Chen Yanshi, what good would it do him?

If Dafeng Factory were shut down now, he, a newly appointed vice governor, would immediately become a target for others.

This Chen Yanshi is one of the adoptive fathers of the newly appointed provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin.

If Zhou Chuyi makes a move against him now, Sha Ruijin will definitely target him in the future.

And Li Dakang, don't think that just because you solved the Dafeng Factory problem for him, you'll get his gratitude.

As soon as you arrived, Zhou Chuyi, you took down your top lieutenant, Director Tangyuan, and also resolved the Dafeng Factory issue.

What's the point of this? Is it a case of giving a slap on the wrist and then offering a sweet treat?

Perhaps because Zhou Chuyi handled things faster and had a better reputation than him, Li Dakang thought he was going to compete with him for the governorship.

The key is Gao Yuliang's side.

Chen Yanshi was his former superior, and Gao Yuliang always maintained a respectful attitude towards him, regardless of the occasion.

The Dafeng Factory incident not only involves Chen Yanshi, but also the Shanshui Group.

If this gets out of hand, it could shake the very foundation of the Han Da Clan's social connections in Jingzhou.

Therefore, even though Zhou Chuyi had something in his hands, he still did not give any instructions.

We have our trump cards in hand and the situation is under control, but the time is not right and we must not act rashly.

Sha Ruijin has just taken office in Handong, and his position is not yet secure and the overall situation is still uncertain.

The two factions of Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang are locked in a standoff and a struggle for balance, with undercurrents swirling beneath the surface.

The political situation is volatile and the officials are in a delicate state of mind.

If we act rashly at this moment, the entire chessboard will fall into chaos.

The key point is that since Sha Ruijin took office, he has not convened a single Standing Committee meeting.

Even with Governor Liu's approval, he couldn't make a decision on his own about this.

True masters of strategy always patiently accumulate strength, wait for the right opportunity, and strike only after the opponent has made their move.

He's here to stir up trouble, not to be at the forefront clearing mines.

Only by following the development of events can we gradually disrupt the plans of Sha Ruijin and the Zhong family.

He achieved his goal.

Zhou Chuyi immediately sent back the instruction, which consisted of only one short sentence.

All evidence will be temporarily sealed and archived and kept strictly confidential. In addition, we will continue to strengthen the evidence and fill in any gaps.

They held their positions for the time being, waiting to see how the situation would change.

Zhao Dehan and his group strictly followed Zhou Chuyi's instructions, sealing up all the information they had gathered and remaining silent about it.

With Zhao Dehan's help, Sun Liancheng continued to bear the pressure from Li Dakang and kept a low profile while monitoring the situation in Guangming District.

At this time, the situation in Jingzhou was as lively as ever, and the people from Dafeng Factory were still causing trouble every day.

Unable to handle Zhao Dehan and Sun Liancheng, Gao Xiaoqin went to Li Dakang for help.

First they complained, then they said they couldn't hold on any longer and that if Dafeng Factory wasn't demolished, they might have to withdraw from the Guangmingfeng project for the benefit of the group.

Li Dakang naturally knew that Gao Xiaoqin was putting pressure on him, and that they couldn't possibly withdraw from the Guangming Peak project.

However, Li Dakang also wanted to stabilize the situation of the Guangmingfeng project, and the demolition work of Dafeng Factory had to be carried out.

Unfortunately, Sun Liancheng, the current commander-in-chief of Guangming Peak, has taken on this hot potato.

However, he was slippery in his work and would shirk responsibility and pass the buck whenever something happened, which was almost driving Li Dakang to the brink of exhaustion.

Now that Gao Xiaoqin has come looking for us, the news must have spread among those investors.

As the Party Secretary of the city, he also had to make a decision.

Time passed quietly as Zhao Dehan and Sun Liancheng lay low, amidst the undercurrents in Jingzhou City, and November 6th arrived in the blink of an eye.

As winter deepens in Jingzhou, the chill intensifies, and the evening wind stirs the city's hustle and bustle with its undercurrents.

Zhou Chuyi finished a full day of high-density, high-intensity research work.

The days of travel had left him somewhat exhausted, and he returned to his private quarters in the evening.

He ate a simple meal, rested briefly, and then returned to his room to rest.

As night deepened, the entire city slowly returned to tranquility.

The streets were becoming less crowded and traffic was sparse. Most citizens had already fallen asleep, and the guesthouse where he was staying was quiet and solemn.

The clock slowly ticked past 11 p.m., nearing midnight. All was quiet except for the streetlights, which stood silently, illuminating the dark night.

Zhou Chuyi had just finished a long phone conversation with his wife, Sun Huayu, and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

Just then, there was a rapid but slight knocking on the door.

The sound of "thump, thump, thump" was repeated three times, quickly and forcefully.

Zhou Chuyi raised his head and frowned slightly.

He glanced down at his watch—11:40 p.m.

It's so late, is something wrong?

"Please come in." Zhou Chuyi remained calm, trying his best to make his voice sound as calm as possible.

The door was pushed open, and Secretary Kobayashi entered.

Xiao Lin is usually a steady and mature young man in his early thirties. He does things meticulously and is never impulsive.

But at this moment, his face was pale, and a thin layer of sweat even seeped from his forehead. His eyes were filled with anxiety and tension.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?" Zhou Chuyi looked at Xiaolin's appearance and already had a general idea in his mind.

"Boss, something terrible has happened." Xiao Lin strode up to Zhou Chuyi and handed him the tablet computer as he spoke.

"Please take a look at this, something has happened at Dafeng Factory."

Zhou Chuyi took the tablet computer; the screen displayed a live video stream on an online platform.

The video's title was: "Dafeng Factory in Jingzhou City, Handong Province, Undergoes Violent Demolition; Workers Protest by Igniting Gasoline, Factory Catches Fire and Explodes!"

Zhou Chuyi's gaze suddenly sharpened, and all his fatigue vanished instantly.

November 6th, late at night, Dafeng Factory—the 116 Incident.

The inevitable changes finally arrived as scheduled, unfolding precisely according to the original drama's timeline and plot.

Even if Zhou Chuyi had made advance arrangements to eliminate the fatal hidden danger of those twenty-odd tons of gasoline and resolved the biggest potential risk of Dafeng Factory in advance.

However, it ultimately could not completely reverse the predetermined plot trajectory driven by human greed, factional infighting, and entangled interests.

After watching the video for a while and considering the title, Zhou Chuyi just pursed his lips.

The video shows just a few sand bags that have been doused with gasoline and set on fire.

As for the factory fire and explosion, that's just a sensational headline.

Although there was a lot of smoke, there didn't seem to be any casualties, and the fire didn't spread very widely.

In the video, thick smoke billows from a vast factory area, and flames illuminate half the sky.

As the camera zooms in, you can vaguely see hundreds of agitated workers gathered at the factory gate.

Some people waved flags, some shouted slogans, and others took advantage of the chaos to throw stones and debris at the demolition workers.
