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

After leaving the Provincial Procuratorate, Zhao Donglai went directly to the meeting room, arriving a little earlier than Li Dakang.

As the director of the Public Security Bureau, he is quite professionally competent.

Upon entering the meeting room, I noticed that many people were looking at me.

However, when he looked over, those gazes shifted away.

When he looked away, he felt many people staring at him.

What's going on? Zhao Donglai, the tiger-fighting hero, was so cool today!

Unaware of what was going on, Zhao Donglai saw Li Dakang push the door open and quickly went to greet him.

He didn't notice the complicated look in Li Dakang's eyes when he saw him, and moved closer.

"Secretary Li, regarding Cai Chenggong's matter..." Zhao Donglai lowered his voice, "Let me give you a brief report first."

Li Dakang paused for a second, then said, "Okay, go ahead."

Zhao Donglai seemed to feel uncomfortable, as if he was being stared at by many people.

"Secretary Li, this..."

Zhao Donglai said that there are many people here, and some things need to be said privately.

"The comrades present today are all related to Cai Chenggong and Dafeng Factory. Let's talk."

Li Dakang's voice softened a bit. "If you don't speak now, it'll be hard to have a chance to talk to me alone later."

"That's right, Cai Chenggong is currently still at the Public Security Bureau's guesthouse."

Zhao Donglai still felt that many people were watching him. Suppressing his unease, he reported to Li Dakang, but in a low voice.

"I also approached Chief Prosecutor Ji, but in the end, I could only manage to secure this compromise."

.......

Li Dakang should have been angry when he heard Zhao Dong say that he had failed to bring Cai Chenggong back to the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

However, considering that Zhao Donglai mentioned the newly appointed "Anti-Corruption Bureau Chief" Hou Liangping, it's possible that Sha Ruijin wants to use him.

Considering Zhao Donglai's situation, Li Dakang didn't say anything more, indicating that he knew the matter and that they should leave it at that for now.

"Let's start a meeting." Li Dakang gestured for Zhao Donglai to sit down, beginning with this "Meeting on the Aftermath of the January 16 Incident."

Li Dakang plopped down and opened the documents in front of him.

He didn't notice that many cadres from Jingzhou City and Guangming District were constantly scrutinizing him and Zhao Donglai.

Many people also glanced at Mayor Wu Xiongfei, who was sitting to Li Dakang's left.

"Comrades, today's meeting will only discuss one issue: the aftermath of the Dafeng Factory No. 116 mass incident."

"Everyone knows what happened, so we won't say more."

"Director Qian of the Finance Bureau, could you first tell me how much the severance pay was for the laid-off employees of Dafeng Factory?"

"How do we solve this?"

At the outset, Li Dakang skipped all the formalities and went straight to the name of the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Finance Bureau.

Director Qian had just been staring at Li Dakang and Zhao Dong when he was suddenly called out, and his body trembled.

Just as he was about to speak, the tightly closed door to the conference room was pushed open from the outside.

Several staff members, dressed in formal attire with a small Party badge pinned to their chests, had serious expressions.

Accompanied by Luo Junzhen, Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, he walked steadily and with a commanding presence into the venue.

Luo Junzhen, the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department? And people from the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Provincial Organization Department?!

The entire room fell silent instantly. Everyone looked up and glanced sideways. Many officials felt a sudden tension in their hearts, and a strong sense of unease swept through the room.

Some of the cadres who received the news looked at Zhao Donglai and Li Dakang, who was sitting in the first seat.

The group kept their eyes straight ahead and headed straight for their target.

They walked through rows of seats and stood steadily in front of Zhao Donglai, the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.

"Director Luo, this..." Zhao Donglai said with some surprise upon seeing that it was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.

However, Luo Junzhen ignored him. A discipline inspection cadre stepped forward, his expression stern, and immediately showed his discipline inspection work ID.

"Comrade Zhao Donglai," the man's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet conference room.

"We are staff members of the Handong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. This was decided upon by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and confirmed by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"In the Dafeng Factory No. 116 mass incident, Dafeng Factory illegally stored 25 tons of gasoline, a flammable and explosive hazardous material."

"Seriously endangers public safety and threatens the lives and property of the people."

"As the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, you are the primary person in charge of maintaining stability in Jingzhou."

"Suspected of serious dereliction of duty, ineffective performance of duties, abuse of power, and lack of supervision."

"In accordance with the relevant regulations on discipline inspection and supervision, you are now placed under detention."

"Now please cooperate with us and explain the relevant issues at the designated time and place."

The entire conference room was completely silent; the disciplinary committee's presence deterred them from making the slightest move.

Some people held their breath, while others glanced furtively at Li Dakang.

Zhao Donglai's face turned pale instantly. He remained seated, his incredulous gaze shifting from the disciplinary committee staff member to Li Dakang.

He tried to speak, but couldn't utter a single word; his eyes held a hint of pleading.

Unfortunately, Li Dakang sat at the head of the conference table with his back very straight.

His face was expressionless, his head was down, and he didn't look at Zhao Donglai.

A complex and indescribable emotion flashed across Li Dakang's eyes, but he remained silent throughout, only gripping the pen tightly.

He knew that Zhao Donglai would be taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

He knew in his heart that this was a predetermined decision made by the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee just now.

More than 20 tons of gasoline endangered the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people, and Li Dakang had no way to protect Zhao Donglai.

He could only watch helplessly as his trusted subordinate, the head of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, was taken away on the spot by disciplinary officials for investigation.

Those unaware of the situation stared in disbelief at the scene, no one expecting this serious follow-up meeting to turn out this way.

The film opens with a shocking scene: Police Chief Zhao Donglai is detained on the spot.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't them who were being targeted.

Li Dakang did not respond, and Zhao Donglai stood up, trembling slightly.

His gaze shifted from Li Dakang to Luo Junzhen, who was standing next to the disciplinary committee staff, his eyes questioning.

However, Luo Junzhen kept his eyes fixed ahead the whole time and did not give him any feedback.

Zhao Donglai knew that his suggestion to Dafeng Factory to buy those twenty-odd tons of gasoline had been successful.

He pulled out the chair very slowly, as if he were being dragged along by something.

He picked up his phone and car keys from the table, hesitated for a moment, and then put them back on the table.

The staff member from the Discipline Inspection Commission stepped forward, picked up the items, put them in a bag, and gestured for him to go first.

Zhao Donglai walked to the conference room door, looked back, and felt somewhat bewildered by the gazes of so many people.

Li Dakang had already lowered his head and was flipping through the documents, as if nothing had happened.

The meeting room fell silent again, but the silence was completely different from what it had been ten minutes earlier.

Some people secretly wiped the sweat from their foreheads, while others unconsciously moved their chairs.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief after the disciplinary committee members took Zhao Donglai away.

Just then, an official from the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department took out a document and looked at Li Dakang.

Seeing Li Dakang nod, he began to read:

"As decided by the Provincial Party Committee, during the period when Comrade Zhao Donglai is suspended from his duties for investigation, Comrade Luo Junzhen, Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, will temporarily serve as Director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau..."
