After criticizing Chen Yanshi, he turned on Li Dakang.

"You...you...you..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Chen Yanshi was so angry that his face turned red, his chest heaved violently, and his finger pointing at Gao Sunliancheng was trembling. He coughed anxiously but could not speak.

To be honest, Li Dakang really didn't want to deal with this mess, but he had no choice. Sun Liancheng had already pointed out that Dafeng Factory had violated regulations by approving land, and if he continued to talk about it, who knew what kind of trouble it would cause.

Therefore, Li Dakang interrupted sternly, "Sun Liancheng, this is the provincial party committee meeting room. The meeting being held now is a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee. You were called here to share your heroic rescue experiences, not to spout nonsense!"

Sun Liancheng glanced at Li Dakang meaningfully, then sneered, "Li Dakang, stop pretending to be a big shot. You and Chen Yanshi are evenly matched. Don't be in such a hurry, he'll be next after you finish!"

Li Dakang wanted to say a few more words of reprimand, but then he heard Sun Liancheng continue, "Chen Yanshi, if you are powerless to defend yourself and are willing to be a coward, then you should just shut up and listen to me."

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days. What are you working so hard for Dafeng Factory for? After a thorough investigation, I found out that you invested 100,000 yuan in Dafeng Factory. So you're a shareholder too."

Distracted by Li Dakang, Chen Yanshi caught his breath and felt much better than before. He retorted angrily, "Sun Liancheng, stop spouting nonsense. That 100,000 yuan was purely out of moral support."

"I said from the beginning that if I lost the 100,000 yuan, I would just let it go; if I made a profit, I would just return the principal. How can this be considered as investing?"

Sun Liancheng listened quietly to Chen Yanshi finish speaking, then scoffed and questioned, "Chen Yanshi, you talk a good game, but let me ask you, how much money have you made from Dafeng Factory over the years?"

"Besides, the gold certificate for Dafeng Factory's No. 1 stock belongs to you, you couldn't possibly not know that, could you?"

Upon hearing Sun Liancheng mention "No. 1 Stock Gold Certificate," Chen Yanshi's expression changed drastically, and he panicked, desperately trying to explain, "What No. 1 Stock Gold Certificate? I have no idea about it. Over the years, Dafeng Factory has only returned the original 100,000 yuan to me. I haven't taken a single penny more."

"You old codger, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Sun Liancheng took out his phone and said calmly, "I knew you wouldn't admit it, I was prepared. Listen carefully."

A recording is playing on the phone:

"Master Zheng, there really isn't any more land. Even if you come to me again, I can't conjure up twenty acres of industrial land for you."

"District Chief Sun, have you thought this through? Chief Prosecutor Chen owns shares in our Dafeng Factory. Helping Dafeng Factory is helping Chief Prosecutor Chen."

"What do you mean, Master Zheng? I've looked at the shareholding structure of your Dafeng Factory, and the old chief prosecutor isn't listed. Are you sure that former Chief Prosecutor Chen Yanshi owns shares in your Dafeng Factory?"

"Of course, otherwise why do you think the Chen family, the procuratorate, would be so busy with the affairs of Dafeng Factory?"

"Back then, the old chief prosecutor invested 100,000 yuan in Dafeng Factory. Later, when Dafeng Factory became profitable, he refused to accept the dividends. So we came up with a solution: I would hold the No. 1 share certificate on behalf of the old chief prosecutor."

"Does former Chief Prosecutor Chen Yanshi know about the No. 1 stock certificate?"

"Yes, I know, I've already told him..."

After listening to the recording, the faces of all the standing committee members present changed. If the recording was real, then Chen Yanshi would really be disgraced in his later years, and the provincial discipline inspection commission might even have to intervene in the investigation.

Once it is confirmed that the No. 1 stock certificate belongs to Chen Yanshi, then Chen Yanshi's request for Sun Liancheng to approve the land in violation of regulations must involve embezzlement and bribery, which is a serious violation of laws and regulations.

At this moment, the expressions of Sha Ruijin, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province, and Li Dakang, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Jingzhou City, changed slightly, and their eyes were full of questioning as they looked at Chen Yanshi!

The two men were directly responsible for approving the land for Dafeng Factory. In addition, the land approval for Dafeng Factory was illegal. If this were to involve the transfer of state-owned assets, then they would be in deep trouble.

Sun Liancheng, however, persisted. Looking at the panicked Chen Yanshi, he gently raised his hand and said with amusement, "Come on, Second Procuratorate of Handong Province, explain yourself. What exactly is going on with this No. 1 stock certificate?"

Chen Yanshi was very flustered and anxious, but he knew that he had to speak up now. If he couldn't explain the No. 1 stock certificate clearly, his reputation would be ruined.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yanshi said seriously, "Sun Liancheng, stop talking nonsense. What 'No. 1 Share Certificate'? I have no idea. Also, Comrade Zheng Xipo lied and said I had shares in Dafeng Factory, isn't that just to get you to approve land for Dafeng Factory? Isn't that normal?"

"Furthermore, the provincial party committee can investigate. Apart from the 100,000 yuan I received before, I haven't taken a single penny from Dafeng Factory in all these years!"

"I knew you would say that, so I even sent someone to investigate." Sun Liancheng stared intently at Chen Yanshi. "Many employees at Dafeng Factory know about you being a shareholder of Dafeng Factory, and about you and Jinzheng, the No. 1 shareholder."

"Old man, you haven't taken a single penny from Dafeng Factory all these years, but the reality is, the No. 1 share certificate is worth tens of millions!"

"They say an old man who doesn't die is a thief, and I've seen it for myself now. What a thief!"

"They spout platitudes about benevolence, righteousness, fairness, and justice, all about standing up for the people, but in the end, *slap*, they only care about themselves!"

As the situation escalated and spiraled out of control, Li Dakang had to speak up. He had personally facilitated the illegal land approval for Dafeng Factory, and if this caused a major incident, he would be primarily responsible.

Li Dakang stared intently at Sun Liancheng, then changed the subject, saying, "Comrade Sun Liancheng, the main topic of today's Standing Committee meeting is not the Dafeng Factory issue, but your heroic story of saving lives during the explosion and fire in Jingzhou City."

"Li Dakang, you're popping up again?" Sun Liancheng glanced at Li Dakang. "Are you bored? Do you have to go looking for trouble? Fine, I'll grant your wish."

"You accuse me of inaction simply because I didn't resolve the industrial land issue for Dafeng Factory, right?"

"To curry favor with Chen Yanshi, you asked me to provide 20 mu of industrial land for Dafeng Factory. You make it sound so easy, but Ding Yizhen has already sold off all the land available for sale in Guangming District. Where am I supposed to get 20 mu of industrial land? Aren't you just forcing me to operate illegally?"

"And even if there's land in Guangming District, does Dafeng Factory have the money? They're trying to get this land for nothing, without a single penny. Tell me, how do they expect to get it approved?"

Li Dakang's face darkened further, his brows furrowed, and he gritted his teeth, remaining silent.

"And what about the renovation of the petition office window? Doesn't that cost money? Because you gave the order, Guangming District advanced 10 million yuan in resettlement fees to Dafeng Factory. Where would we have any money left? I even bought the chair in front of this window with my own money."

"So I'm supposed to do nothing? You think ordinary people are being wronged by sitting on small chairs, then you should approve the funding!"

At this point, Sun Liancheng said indignantly, "The petition office window has been like this for a long time. There were no problems when Ding Yizhen was there. You saw it as soon as he left. Where the hell were you before?"

Li Dakang was rendered speechless by the rebuttal, but Sun Liancheng wasn't about to let him off the hook, continuing, "You, Li Dakang, accuse me of inaction, but what about yourself?"

"You personally promoted Ding Yizhen to be the chief commander of the Guangmingfeng project. He was corrupt, accepted bribes, and acted recklessly. Before Ding Yizhen got into trouble, there were constant reports from the public about him."

"As the top official in Jingzhou City, how could you be completely unaware of these things?"

"Now that Ding Yizhen has run into trouble and fled, you're completely unscathed. Is that what you call accomplishing something?"

"I'd like to ask you something else: who protected you, letting you sit here unharmed?"
