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

Governor Liu took the lead and had Zhou Chuyi recount the story of how Dafeng Factory disposed of more than 20 tons of gasoline.

The last words seemed to be directed at Zhao Donglai, the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

However, at this moment, Sha Ruijin interjected and praised Zhou Chuyi.

Seeing that Sha Ruijin was about to speak again, Zhou Chuyi couldn't let Sha Ruijin take over the leadership of the meeting at this moment.

Zhou Chuyi wanted to continue talking about this matter, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Old Liu's gaze and stopped talking.

"Ahem." Old Liu coughed twice, indicating that he was about to speak.

Everyone looked at Governor Liu, since the provincial government had resolved the matter, and everyone should thank the former governor.

This can be considered as clearing a major landmine for everyone. When the old governor wants to speak, no one will dare to disrespect him.

"Under Comrade Chu Yi's leadership, the provincial government dealt with those twenty-odd tons of gasoline, but I'm still quite shaken."

Governor Liu spoke slowly, as if he were chatting with everyone.

But everyone was focused on listening to what he had to say.

"We've dealt with the source of the danger, but the matter is still there. We can't say that the danger is over and that's the end of it."

"Our provincial government has defined this incident as a major public safety incident that threatens the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people in Guangming District, Jingzhou City, Handong Province."

"I also represented the government of Handong Province and ordered Comrade Luo Junzhen of the Provincial Public Security Bureau to initiate an investigation into this matter."

"The source of the hazard has been dealt with, but the matter has not yet been fully investigated."

"Why would that large wind turbine factory have more than twenty tons of gasoline?"

"Where did the gasoline come from? Who bought it? Who authorized the sale of gasoline, a dangerous substance?"

"What was their purpose? Those fortifications? Who led their construction?"

"Also, I don't know how Director Zhao Donglai of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau used to conduct his work?"

"It seems our Comrade Dakang quite likes this Director Zhao Donglai?"

After Governor Liu finished speaking, he looked at Li Dakang, who looked somewhat embarrassed.

The other standing committee members also looked over at Li Dakang.

This made Li Dakang's face flush.

"Comrade Li Dakang said that Comrade Zhao Donglai is a man of great courage and is a rare criminal investigation expert and an outstanding public security cadre."

"I, Lao Liu, don't understand this person's business capabilities, but I won't deny them either."

"But Comrade Cheng Du from the Guangming Branch of Jingzhou City."

"We have repeatedly written to him stating that Dafeng Factory stored more than 20 tons of gasoline, which constitutes an act of defiance against the government, but he has ignored it all."

"There were a few times when I reported to him in person, but he acted as if nothing had happened."

"Of course, we cannot believe only one side of the story."

As he spoke, Lao Liu handed several documents to Executive Vice Governor He Zhenhui, who then distributed them to the Standing Committee members.

"Look everyone, this is a record that Comrade Luo Junzhen from the Provincial Department found in the public security system."

"Three times, three times we submitted written reports about Dafeng Factory, but Comrade Zhao Donglai, the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau, only read them and didn't reply."

"Furthermore, during the follow-up investigation, some police officers provided testimonies, and Comrade Cheng Du reported to them in person several times, but Zhao Donglai from the Municipal Bureau ignored them."

"He is Zhao Donglai, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Jingzhou City."

"He is responsible for maintaining the safety and stability of the entire Jingzhou region; he is the primary person in charge and the person primarily responsible for maintaining stability."

"He turned a blind eye to such a serious threat to public safety, which is a serious dereliction of duty."

"Secretary Dakang just said that Director Zhao Donglai is an excellent cadre. I'm wondering if there's some other reason why he's ignoring this matter?"

"The answer is yes." Governor Liu glanced at Li Dakang, then looked at Sha Ruijin with a strange look that made Sha Ruijin feel uneasy.

"As I just mentioned, the provincial government has classified this incident as a major public safety incident and has ordered the provincial department to investigate it."

"The first point they investigated was the source of these twenty-odd tons of gasoline."

"How could a medium-sized garment factory on the verge of bankruptcy, without any qualifications, possibly buy more than twenty tons of gasoline?"

"In fact, tracing the source of this gasoline is quite simple for Director Luo and his team."

"The documents just now contain details about how the purchase was made, who made the purchase, and who approved it. It was all clearly documented in less than a day."

"These individuals who violated discipline and the law will be dealt with according to law after the provincial department has gathered sufficient evidence."

"However, when Director Luo reported to me, there was some news that surprised me."

As Governor Liu finished speaking, he glanced at Li Dakang and Sha Ruijin again.

"According to these people's testimonies, Dafeng Factory was able to purchase these more than 20 tons of gasoline because Comrade Zhao Donglai, the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau, had put in a good word for them."

Upon hearing Governor Liu's words, the entire Standing Committee erupted in uproar.

Everyone looked at Li Dakang. This is your top general, the outstanding police chief?

Li Dakang's face was stiff and pale, and he was holding a pen in his hand. If he exerted any more force, the pen would break.

"So, just now, Comrade Zhou Chuyi asked Li Dakang whether Zhao Donglai knew that there were more than 20 tons of gasoline in Dafeng Factory?"

"Secretary Dakang said that Zhao Donglai might not know the situation, otherwise he would have dealt with it long ago."

"But it's obvious he knew, and he's known all along."

"However, he didn't tell anyone, nor did he pay attention to the increasingly intense conflicts among the masses at Dafeng Factory."

"Let the situation develop unchecked. In order to advance the Guangmingfeng project, your Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee intends to demolish the Dafeng Factory."

"Everyone knows that the workers at Dafeng Factory are extremely agitated in their resistance to the demolition, which could very likely trigger a mass incident."

"However, he, as the police chief, did not inform Comrade Dakang about the matter beforehand."

"Heh, what an excellent police chief."

Why didn't he tell Comrade Dakang? I guess he was too afraid.

"Because he had given his approval and made arrangements for gasoline to be allowed into the Dafeng factory area."

"If he really reveals it, what will he do if someone investigates the source of the gasoline?"

"Also, does he know anything about the fortifications at the entrance of Dafeng Factory and the situation of the factory's security team?"

"I can say with certainty that he knew it too."

"Comrade Cheng Du from Guangming District reported this several times, but he turned a blind eye."

"When the officers from the branch office tried to take action, they were criticized by the municipal bureau instead."

"These are all recorded in the materials, and everyone can see them."

"The reason why those people at Dafeng Factory can act so recklessly is also a result of the city bureau's indulgence."

Upon hearing this, not only did Li Dakang's expression change, but Sha Ruijin's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Governor Liu, aren't those words a bit too harsh?"

Sha Ruijin was still thinking that Zhao Donglai was a criminal investigation expert introduced to him by his classmate from the Party school, but before he could even use him, Governor Liu stabbed him in the back.

Here, he also had to say something.
