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

In the afternoon, the nursing home where Chen Yanshi lived was bathed in warm sunshine and had a tranquil environment, just like any other day, peaceful and serene.

After retiring, Chen Yanshi sold the welfare housing provided by his work unit and lived here as an ordinary old man for many years.

Chen Yanshi, a highly respected veteran revolutionary and former deputy chief prosecutor of the province, was quite influential in the officialdom of Jingzhou.

He held a respected and revered position in the nursing home, and everyone, whether officials or ordinary citizens, addressed him respectfully as Old Chen.

After the January 16 Incident, Chen Yanshi's fame soared, and he was adored by the entire internet and praised throughout the city.

He is hailed as a model of veteran cadres who speak out for the people, care deeply about them, and dare to advocate for them.

Especially after that "Little Gold" was heard, the people around him looked at him with even clearer eyes.

Officials at all levels flocked to him to visit, curry favor, and curry favor, all hoping to use his connections to get on Sha Ruijin's good side and advance their careers.

The long-term praise and flattery brought Chen Yanshi, who valued his reputation, immense satisfaction.

Especially recently, many cadres who used to ignore him have come to visit him.

Many people used to look down on him, a retired senior official, but now he's someone many can't even dream of befriending.

It made Chen Yanshi feel like he was rejuvenated, especially when he went to the Standing Committee to give lectures to the Standing Committee members, which brought him back to the peak of his life.

Even when his son Chen Hai was in the hospital, his wife Wang Fuzhen visited him every day, while he himself was busy wandering around.

Today, Chen Yanshi was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard. On the stone table in front of him was a cup of tea and a copy of the People's Daily.

These seem to be standard everyday scenes.

Before long, someone will probably come to his little yard to bring flowers and plants, or to visit him.

Sunlight shone on his gray hair; this nearly ninety-year-old revolutionary still stood tall.

Looking at all the flowers and plants in the yard, it was clear that he was in a very good mood.

He enjoyed watching the expressions on the faces of those who flattered him.

Just as Chen Yanshi was wondering which people and which departments would be returning today.

Two police cars were parked at the entrance of Chen Yanshi's nursing home, and four officers from the special task force entered the nursing home's huge courtyard.

"Old Chen." A young police officer stepped forward.

Chen Yanshi looked up, saw who it was, and was somewhat displeased. Why were they police officers?

He frowned. "Hmm? What do you need me for?"

The officer showed his police ID and summons, and politely explained his purpose.

Chen Yanshi, who was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, suddenly turned bright red, like a firecracker that had been lit.

"What? You summoned me?" Chen Yanshi's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and anger.

"You're taking me to the police station? Do you know who I am?"

"I am Chen Yanshi! I have worked for the Party my whole life! I participated in the revolution!"

"The workers at Dafeng Factory were being bullied, and I spoke up for them. Where did I go wrong?"

"I was the one who put out the fire during the January 16th incident! I was the one who calmed the workers down!"

"I was commended throughout the province! And now you're telling me to assist in an investigation?"

"Summoning me without even asking questions? This is bullying an old comrade and wrongly accusing an innocent person!"

His voice echoed in the courtyard of the nursing home, and several elderly people who had been paying attention to Chen Yanshi peeked out of their windows.

"Who gave you the audacity? Who gave you the orders?"

"I worked in the political and legal system of Handong for decades, and during my tenure I upheld the law impartially and punished corruption."

"After retiring, I have always been dedicated to improving people's lives and helping the masses, and I have never done anything illegal or disorderly!"

"Your arbitrary summons of me today is a distortion of the truth and an insult to this old comrade!"

Chen Yanshi was furious and questioned him repeatedly, his voice loud and imposing.

One after another, heavy accusations were slapped down, leaving the young police officers somewhat at a loss.

The officers patiently explained, "Mr. Chen, please don't get agitated."

"We are just asking you to go back and assist in the investigation of some situations, such as the more than 20 tons of gasoline at Dafeng Factory, which involves public safety."

"The actions of the Dafeng Factory security team also violated the regulations on public security administration penalties."

"Since you are an insider, we are just following procedure and asking you to come over to understand the situation."

"Do I need to go to the police station to find out what's going on?" Chen Yanshi sneered.

"I'm telling you, don't try to scare me with those legal statutes!"

"Back when I was in the prosecutor's office, what kind of case hadn't I seen?"

"Everything I've done has been done with a clear conscience! Your investigation of me now is just bullying an honest person!"

"I want to see Gao Yuliang! I want to see Secretary Sha Ruijin! I want to report to them your appalling bureaucratic and formalistic practices!"

Hearing the commotion, the other elderly residents and staff at the nursing home gradually gathered around, discussing the matter.

Many people know Chen Yanshi and know that he is an upright and honest senior leader.

Seeing him yell at several police officers, even though they didn't know what was going on, they instinctively stood on his side, and their eyes looked at the officers with more confusion and doubt.

The officers leading the team were inwardly groaning.

Chen Yanshi is too senior, too prestigious, and occupies the moral high ground of "speaking out for the people." Now he has also become involved with Secretary Sha.

They dared not forcibly pull or shove, fearing it would trigger a more serious conflict and public opinion crisis.

More importantly, the names Gao Yuliang and Sha Ruijin that Chen Yanshi mentioned were both very famous, making them hesitant to act rashly.

However, remembering Director Luo's instructions that Comrade Chen Yanshi wouldn't listen to reason, I decided to lay things out on the table.

The officer in charge suppressed his nervousness and spoke in a formal, businesslike tone: "Mr. Chen, we are simply carrying out our duties in accordance with the law."

"The special investigation team has confirmed that Dafeng Factory illegally stockpiled more than 20 tons of high-risk gasoline."

"According to Zhao Donglai, you contacted Zhao Donglai, the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, and used your connections to purchase, transport, and store the goods through illegal channels."

"It was because of your intervention that multiple departments violated regulations by releasing the goods and neglected their duties."

"This allowed the hazardous materials to enter the Dafeng factory area, nearly causing a major tragedy with hundreds of thousands of casualties."

"Currently, Zhao Donglai and several other officials involved have been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation. We earnestly request your cooperation in returning to the bureau to assist in the investigation and explain the relevant circumstances."

Hiccup. Chen Yanshi, who had just been furious, froze upon hearing this.

The police officer in charge of the team continued, mentioning other matters related to Dafeng Factory: "In addition, after extensive verification and evidence gathering..."

"Dafeng Factory formed an illegal factory protection team, constructed unauthorized defensive fortifications, and gathered a crowd to confront and resist demolition."

"Your guidance, participation, and support were all involved in illegal activities such as possessing dangerous weapons and using dangerous goods for intimidation and confrontation."

The policeman said directly, "With so many people's testimonies, and every single one of them is on your side, Chen Yanshi, don't try to claim you're innocent."
