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

"Jingzhou City is under the supervision of Secretary Dakang."

"What would it look like if I rushed over there now? To laugh at Secretary Dakang?"

Liang Lu urged Qi Tongwei to quickly put on his police uniform and go to the scene to handle the mass incident, but unexpectedly, Qi Tongwei started analyzing the current situation for Liang Lu instead.

But upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Liang Lu froze, and her gaze towards Qi Tongwei became somewhat strange.

Liang Lu pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but then swallowed the words back.

No, what exactly are you, Qi Tongwei, talking about?

Do you even know that you are the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department? A large-scale mass incident has occurred in Jingzhou City.

Instead of immediately going there to maintain stability, your first thought is whether Li Dakang's face will be saved.

Have you ever thought about how you'd fare with your superiors if you didn't go?

Liang Lu couldn't understand what Qi Tongwei was struggling with, but she knew that no matter what she said, he wouldn't listen.

They could only stare blankly as Qi Tongwei continued to analyze the situation.

"Secretary Yuliang is really confused by his haste; he hasn't even become the provincial party secretary yet."

"Can you be cunning at a time like this?" Liang Lu couldn't help but remind Qi Tongwei after hearing his words.

"No, this has nothing to do with being cunning." Before Liang Lu could say another word, Qi Tongwei interrupted her.

"A person must be able to assess the situation and have a clear mind." He was giving Liang Lu a political lesson instead.

"What's so good about me rushing so far ahead and jumping so high?"

"Let me tell you, if I handle this matter well, I won't get any extra points."

"If not handled properly, it will actually detract from your score."

"You're too calculating." Liang Lu was speechless. Was this the time to be thinking about these things?

"Secretary Gao is truly responsible."

Liang Lu didn't want to argue with Qi Tongwei anymore, but considering that Qi Tongwei was still her husband in name, she made a comment.

He wanted to remind the other person of the responsibilities they bore, but unfortunately, Qi Tongwei didn't understand at all.

Perhaps only Qi Tongwei is still debating whether or not to go to the Dafeng factory site, while everyone else has expressed concern about the Dafeng factory situation.

After hanging up with Qi Tongwei, Gao Yuliang immediately called Li Dakang to express his concern about the mass incident at Dafeng Factory.

Not only Gao Yuliang called, but Li Dakang also received calls from other standing committee members in a short period of time, including the newly appointed vice governor Zhou Chuyi, governor Liu Wenzhong, and executive vice governor He Zhenhui.

These people all expressed their concern about the mass incident at Dafeng Factory and hoped that Li Dakang could handle it properly.

Fortunately, Li Dakang did not receive a call from Secretary Sha Ruijin.

However, what he didn't know was that Sha Ruijin had gone to bed early after informing him that the research was tiring.

His secretary, Xiaobai, received the report about the matter but did not disturb her boss's rest.

On the roof of a bungalow not far from Dafeng Factory, Li Dakang used binoculars to observe the situation at Dafeng Factory.

"Have the wounded been evacuated?" Li Dakang asked Zhao Donglai, who was standing to the side.

"It's already been shipped out."

"Get the onlookers back; we absolutely cannot allow any more people to be burned."

"We have been working on evacuating the people, but the people don't trust us."

"Secretary Dakang, Secretary Dakang." Just as Li Dakang and Zhao Donglai were discussing how to calm things down, Qi Tongwei appeared.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally arrived at the scene of the incident.

"I've looked into the situation, and I believe that if necessary, we can fire warning shots and use force to clear the area."

Well, Director Qi gave a very forceful suggestion as soon as he arrived.

"Director Zhao, I need to make this clear to you. There is a gasoline depot with a capacity of over 20 tons in this factory. If the fire is allowed to spread like this, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Li Dakang's face turned pale upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

Looking at the thick smoke billowing into the sky, he was extremely nervous. "Do as Director Qi orders."

He quickly instructed Zhao Donglai, "This is no joke."

"Yes." Zhao Donglai quickly agreed, preparing to clear the area by force.

He naturally knew that there were more than 20 tons of gasoline in Dafeng Factory, and he also knew that if things continued like this and something really happened, he would be finished.

"Wait." Just then, Sun Liancheng, who was standing to the side, raised his hand.

This action attracted everyone's attention. He glanced at Zhao Dehan, and only spoke after the other nodded.

"I don't think it's necessary to use force to clear the area," Sun Liancheng quickly continued, seeing the anger on Li Dakang's face.

"Didn't the province issue a document a few days ago, ordering a province-wide year-end safety and fire prevention inspection?"

"More than 20 tons of gasoline in Dafeng Factory have been taken away by the provincial fire brigade due to improper storage."

Hearing this, Li Dakang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't shoot!" Just then, a voice came from behind.

Having apparently heard the warning shot, Chen Yanshi, with the help of a policeman, climbed onto the roof of the bungalow.

"Secretary Li, Director Qi, what happened? How could such a big thing have happened?"

Upon seeing that it was Chen Yanshi, Li Dakang and the others went to greet him.

"Mr. Chen, you really can't stay here. I'll arrange for two comrades to take you back in a bit."

Upon seeing that it was Chen Yanshi, Qi Tongwei immediately wanted to send the old man away and stop him from causing trouble here.

Although Li Dakang was polite on the surface, he didn't really like Chen Yanshi, and immediately agreed to Qi Tongwei's suggestion.

"No, get me a megaphone right now, I'll go and try to talk to them."

"Mr. Chen, the situation is very tense right now. These workers are extremely emotionally unstable, and I doubt you can persuade them."

"Yes, we're prepared to use force to clear the area."

Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei were surprisingly in agreement on keeping Chen Yanshi out of the picture; they both wanted Chen Yanshi to leave.

But Chen Yanshi couldn't just leave like that. "What are you clearing the area for?"

"So many people have already been injured. If you clear the area now, won't that just escalate the conflict?"

"Dafeng Factory was one of my original sites. I tried to persuade them, and they listened."

"Where's the loudspeaker? Give me a loudspeaker."

Chen Yanshi said he could stabilize these workers.

Just as Li Dakang heard Sun Liancheng's words, the provincial fire brigade had already taken away more than 20 tons of gasoline from Dafeng Factory.

There was no need to use force to clear the area. Now that Chen Yanshi said he could calm the crowd down, he would let Chen Yanshi give it a try.

Soon, Chen Yanshi, escorted by two policemen, arrived at the gate of Dafeng Factory with a loudspeaker.

It must be said that Chen Yanshi had a high level of prestige among the employees of Dafeng Factory.

After his patient persuasion, the emotions of the employees of Dafeng Factory did indeed stabilize.

Soon, the people made way for the firefighters to come in with their equipment.

After more than ten minutes of work, the open flames were extinguished, with only some smoke still drifting into the sky.

On the rooftop of a nearby bungalow, Li Dakang breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the situation through binoculars.

With Chen Yanshi's reassurance, the large-scale chaos temporarily subsided, and the situation on the scene briefly stabilized.

As night deepened and the situation calmed down, everyone thought the storm was about to end and the matter was about to conclude.

No one expected that the real game, the real farce, had only just begun.
