At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

After leaving He Hua's office, Lin Yi felt much more relaxed, but he didn't let his guard down.

Because he knew that if he wanted to promote the economic transformation of Qinghe County, he would definitely have to touch the county's coal mining industry, and the resistance would be enormous.

For him, forming an alliance with He Hua is only the first step in a long journey. He needs to think carefully about how to carry out his work smoothly next!

That afternoon, County Head He Hua chaired an executive meeting of the county government, at which work assignments were adjusted.

Lin Yi, as the deputy secretary of the county government's party group and executive deputy county head, is responsible for the day-to-day work of the county government, as well as development and reform, finance, taxation, investment promotion, and finance.

the next morning.

County Head He Hua went to the city to attend a meeting. Accompanied by the deputy director of the county government office, Lin Yi familiarized himself with the county government offices and prepared to go out for research in the afternoon. He planned to first understand the overall situation of Qinghe before formulating a work plan.

however--

At ten o'clock, Lin Yi suddenly received a call from County Magistrate He Hua.

He Hua's tone was somewhat grave: "County Chief Lin Yi, the Yongchun County Chief in charge of safety just called me, saying there has been a collapse at the Shitan Coal Mine! He's already on his way there with Ma Rui, the head of the County Safety Supervision Bureau. You need to go and handle the situation. You must do everything you can to rescue the injured, prevent secondary accidents, and thoroughly investigate the specific circumstances of the accident!"

"Yes, County Head!"

Lin Yi accepted the order, but frowned at the same time.

He originally planned to formulate his work plan in Qinghe after the research was completed, but before he could even conduct the research, an unexpected event occurred!

Moreover, the accident occurred in Shen Chuchu's hometown—Shitan Village!

The Shitan Coal Mine is 51% owned by Shitan Mining Company, a village enterprise in Shitan Village. The mine manager is Ding Yonggang, the younger brother of Ding Shusheng, the village secretary!

In my previous life, a collapse occurred at the Shitan Coal Mine in September, killing five people, but the incident was concealed from the authorities.

Neither Ding Shusheng, the village secretary, nor Ding Yonggang, the mine manager of Shitan Coal Mine, took responsibility for the accident and continued to evade justice.

For nearly a decade afterward, the Ding brothers continued their illegal activities until they were brought down by a crackdown on organized crime.

According to the announcements from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Procuratorate, Ding Shusheng committed serious violations of discipline and law during his tenure as the village secretary of Shitan Village, including embezzlement, bribery, and misappropriation of village collective enterprises.

Ding Shusheng's younger brother, Ding Yonggang, was a typical village bully. He bullied men and women in the village, manipulated village elections, ran a casino, and illegally possessed firearms. He was simply utterly wicked!

The root of Shen Chuchu's tragic childhood lies with the Ding brothers—her younger brother was beaten in the head by Ding Shusheng's son while trying to protect her, and almost became an idiot.

Shen Chuchu's parents dared not seek justice from the Ding brothers, so they vented their anger on Shen Chuchu, believing her to be a jinx, and beating and scolding her became a daily occurrence.

"I originally wanted Chu Chu to deal with you personally, but since you're so eager to court death, I'll grant your wish!" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought of the information about Ding Shusheng and Ding Yonggang.

Lin Yi decided to take advantage of the accident at the coal mine to eliminate the Ding brothers, Shusheng and Yonggang, to rid the people of this scourge, to help Shen Chuchu get justice, and at the same time, to sound the clarion call for the economic transformation of Qinghe County!

Having made up his mind, Lin Yi used a landline to call Long Zhen, the deputy director of the office, and asked him to arrange a vehicle to go to Shitan Village with him.

After getting into the car, Lin Yi dialed the phone number of Ma Rui, the director of the county's Safety Supervision Bureau: "Director Ma, there has been a collapse accident at the Shitan Coal Mine. What is the situation now? Are there any casualties?"

"County Chief Lin, County Chief Chang and I are on our way to the accident site. According to Ding Shusheng, the Party Secretary of Shitan Village, a collapse occurred while the miners were working because there were no proper safety measures in place. Five miners were injured and have been taken to the county hospital," Ma Rui reported.

Lin Yi asked, "Director Ma, how serious are the injuries of the five workers? Are they in danger of dying?"

"County Chief Lin, I'm not clear about this situation yet." Ma Rui was taken aback when Lin Yi asked such detailed questions, and then said.

"Director Ma, you need to find out this information right now! If you still don't know the specific injuries of the five workers in five minutes, then you can forget about being the director of the county safety supervision bureau!" Lin Yi reprimanded coldly.

He Hua went to a meeting in the city, and Lin Yi temporarily took charge of the county government's work.

When the accident occurred at the Shitan Coal Mine, neither Ma Rui, the director of the Safety Supervision Bureau, nor Chang Yongchun, the deputy county head in charge of safety, reported the matter to Lin Yi. This was tantamount to not taking Lin Yi, the executive deputy county head, seriously. They deserved to be taught a lesson!

"Understood, County Chief Lin!" Ma Rui accepted the order, but his tone was somewhat low.

A few minutes later.

Ma Rui called Lin Yi back and reported again: "County Chief Lin, Ding Shusheng said that the five miners' injuries are mainly to their arms, legs and waist, and none of them are in life-threatening condition."

"I understand," Lin Yi said, hanging up the phone and frowning.

In their previous life, a collapse occurred at the Shitan Coal Mine, killing five people. The brothers Ding Shusheng and Ding Yonggang chose to cover it up.

In this life, the accident happened earlier than expected, and no one was reported dead?

is it possible?

Coal mine.

Chang Yongchun, the deputy county head in charge of safety, Ma Rui, the director of the county safety supervision bureau, Shi Zhong, the party secretary of Changshi Town, Fang Ze, the town mayor, and the brothers Ding Shusheng and Ding Yonggang, were smoking not far from the collapse accident.

Shi Zhong, the Party Secretary of Changshi Town, casually asked, "Director Ma, how much longer until County Head Lin arrives?"

"Secretary Shi, are you kidding me? Do you dare ask the leader? I almost got dismissed just now because I didn't report the situation carefully enough!" Ma Rui's face was ugly. He was very unhappy about Lin Yi's threat to dismiss him over the phone!

Chang Yongchun, the deputy county head in charge of safety, spoke up to remind him: "Director Ma, County Head Lin Yi is so young, it's normal for him to want to show his abilities. We should support our leader's work and not let our emotions get the better of us."

"Yes, County Chief Chang." Ma Rui knew that Chang Yongchun was reminding him that too much talk leads to mistakes and trouble, so he refrained from saying anything more.

"Secretary Ding, are you sure everything has been handled properly?" Chang Yongchun asked Ding Shusheng, the village committee secretary, with concern.

Three people died in today's collapse.

Chang Yongchun, Ma Rui, Shi Zhong, and Fang Ze all knew this.

Before they arrived at the scene, the Ding brothers, Shusheng and Yonggang, had already taken care of everything.

Therefore, they treated the incident as if no one had died.

Because Ding Shusheng has been very filial to them over the years, sending them gifts every year during holidays, even more punctually than when his workplace gives out welfare benefits.

Moreover, if the truth of the accident is reported, all four of them will be held accountable, ranging from punishment to losing their jobs!

If problems arise later, the village and the coal mine will cover them up, and the main responsibility will not lie with them.

"Don't worry, County Magistrate, everything has been handled properly!" Ding Shusheng smiled, as if the deaths of three people were no different from the deaths of three chickens, showing no concern whatsoever.

Ma Rui reminded him, "Secretary Ding, County Chief Chang just said that County Chief Lin, being a new official, will likely want to make a good impression. If County Chief Lin insists on investigating the accident thoroughly, have you thought about how to respond?"

"Hehe, Director Ma, don't worry. Since I said no one died in the accident, the villagers and workers will definitely agree with me. If County Chief Lin wants to investigate the accident thoroughly, the coal mine will have to shut down, and the villagers will definitely disagree!"

Ding Shusheng smiled slightly, appearing fearless and acting as if he were the local tyrant of Shitan Village. The fierce villagers were his loyal subjects and his greatest support!
