In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

At the Mountain and Water Manor, on the golf course, a man and a woman were strolling along.

"Dean Chen, how long will it take to reach a verdict regarding Dafeng Factory? Cai Chenggong is already insolvent. According to the contract, shouldn't the shares of Dafeng Factory be transferred to our Shanshui Group by now?"

Gao Xiaoqin's tone carried a hint of complaint. This matter could have been handled simply by going through the proper procedures, but Chen Qingquan, the vice president of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court, had been dragging his feet for a while.

So, Zhao Ruilong urged her, and she had no choice but to urge Chen Qingquan instead.

"Mr. Gao, you know I was severely criticized by the newly arrived Secretary Chen of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission a month ago. Is it inappropriate to make a judgment at this critical juncture?"

"Inappropriate? This judgment is a reasonable and compliant demand from our Shanshui Group. It's not like we forced Cai Chenggong to use his shares as collateral for a loan."

Chen Qingquan's expression turned somewhat grim upon hearing this. They were all in the same boat, and Chen Qingquan also knew a little about the truth behind this matter.

"Mr. Gao, please don't make things difficult for me."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin couldn't help but chuckle.

"Dean Chen, although our estate no longer has those miscellaneous projects, we still have two blonde, blue-eyed beauties from the Far East in Handong. They are far more outstanding than your own channels. Don't you want to give them a try, Dean Chen?"

This was an offer of bribes. Chen Qingquan swallowed hard, suppressing the urge to agree and stubbornly refusing to relent.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaoqin's patience also reached its limit.

"Dean Chen, let me tell you the truth."

It's not that I'm urging you to do this; it's that my backer, Zhao Ruilong, is urging you to do it.

Because of the food city project in Luzhou, Young Master Zhao lost some money and wants to make it back.

If you don't agree, I'll have to give the contents of the conversation to Young Master Zhao. You know his personality!

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingquan couldn't help but give a wry smile.

He knew perfectly well what he had done over the years, and he also understood Zhao Ruilong's methods.

"Sigh! Mr. Gao, I will handle this matter as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin smiled again.

"That's more like it. That's the kind of good dean our people should have. Those two beauties from the Far East will accompany you on your journey later."

After Gao Xiaoqin finished speaking, Chen Qingquan's last shred of reason vanished without a trace.

Three days later, the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court issued a judgment on the dispute over the shares of Dafeng Factory.

The contract clearly stated that Cai Chenggong, the factory manager of Dafeng Factory, borrowed 50 million yuan from Shanshui Group as bridge financing, using Dafeng Factory's shares as collateral. When he failed to repay the loan on time, the court naturally ruled that the shares belonged to Shanshui Group.

Upon hearing the news, the workers at Dafeng Factory were outraged. The shares of Dafeng Factory were jointly held by the workers and the boss, but Tsai Cheng-cheng had quietly mortgaged the shares.

These workers had not signed, agreed to, or seen any of the mortgaged money being paid out. Enraged, the workers at Dafeng Factory began to relentlessly defend their rights.

Chen Luo didn't have the time or energy to pay attention to the Dafeng Factory matter for the time being. In the past few days, with the issuance of the provincial party committee's document, the joint investigation team led by the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office has basically taken shape, with a total of nine investigation teams set up.

Each investigation team consists of twelve people, including one reporter, one staff member of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the rest are comprehensive investigators.

Lu Yike was appointed as deputy commander-in-chief, and Chen Luo was appointed as commander-in-chief!

The investigation team was about to depart, awaiting Chen Luo's order.

However, before setting off, Chen Luo had some things to say to Lu Yike, the deputy commander-in-chief.

Knock, knock, knock. As Lu Yike knocked on the office door, Chen Luo's loud voice rang out.

"Enter!"

Lu Yike sat down as usual after entering the office.

"Comrade Lu Yike, you're about to go deep into the grassroots. I called you here at this time because there are some things I need to tell you."

The investigation team first entered Lincheng, for reasons you know.

"Secretary Chen, I understand. Lincheng is a resource-based city in Handong. The filth behind resource extraction is the most rampant, the problems are the most prominent, and the work is the most difficult."

Chen Luo nodded.

"Yes, Comrade Lu Yike, you are right. Our investigation team is determined to tackle this toughest challenge first!"

However, the reason I called you here now is to remind you that while we have zero tolerance for violations of discipline, law, and regulations, we must also consider the impact on the local economy. We cannot allow it to cause turmoil and panic like in American blockbusters.

For minor violations, warnings and education should be the primary approach. For illegal and criminal acts, decisive and swift action should be taken. Cadres who violate discipline should pay attention to the methods and approaches used to avoid causing major confrontations and conflicts.

Of course, if the area below is truly rotten to the core, then there's no need to worry. Just clear it out completely, and there's plenty of time to rebuild afterward!

"Secretary Chen, I've got it!"

"Alright, let's go and prepare. The investigation team will secretly move into Lincheng tomorrow morning."

The claim of a secret deployment is not just empty talk; currently, those who know about this operation are only well-informed members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and the top leaders of the public security, procuratorate, and judicial organs.

The relevant departments below only knew that the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was going to launch a major operation to go deep into the grassroots, but they were unaware of the specifics. Otherwise, the Forestry Department and the Agriculture Department would not have submitted their resumes to join the operation.

Even so, apart from Lu Yike and Chen Luo, even the provincial party secretary Sha Ruijin was unaware that the investigation team's first target was Lincheng.

The next morning, six investigation teams secretly headed to Lincheng, while the remaining three teams, led by Lu Yike, went straight to Jinghai. This was originally intended as a smokescreen, a diversionary tactic, but no one expected the final outcome...

With the investigation team gone, Chen Luo's focus on Jingzhou City diminished somewhat.

Until the 116 Incident!

Ever since the workers at Dafeng Factory learned that it was their boss, Cai Chenggong, who had mortgaged the shares, Cai Chenggong has been hiding like a rat in the street, fearing that he would be found by the workers and die a miserable death on the street.

However, this will not solve the problem. After Shanshui Group obtained shares in Dafeng Factory through the judgment, it plans to demolish the factory area and has already made preparations!

The workers at Dafeng Factory were also prepared. At 8:50 p.m., when Chang Chenghu, an employee of Shanshui Group, came to assist with the demolition disguised as a policeman, a confrontation broke out.

The workers held torches, vowing to live and die with the factory, while the roar of excavators and construction vehicles continued unabated at the Shanshui Group site.

Neither side would give in.

Seeing this, Zheng Xipo, the chairman of the Dafeng Factory's labor union, had no choice but to call Chen Yanshi for help.

In the nursing home, Chen Yanshi received a phone call and heard that Shanshui Group was going to forcibly demolish Dafeng Factory, which was his proud achievement project back then!

Anxious, Chen Yanshi headed straight for Dafeng Factory.

Meanwhile, the escalation of the conflict was reported to the Guangming District government, which then escalated the matter to the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government, until the call reached Li Dakang.
