Chapter 90

: Acquisition of the Land Use Rights for Dafeng Factory!

Gao Yuliang was preparing to go to the scene of the incident with Cheng Du when his phone rang. He answered it and said, "This is Gao Yuliang."

On the phone came the calm voice of Hong Liang, the acting director of the Provincial Public Security Department: "Governor Gao, this is Hong Liang. We have arrived at the scene. The suspect has been apprehended. Comrade Sun Liancheng and his wife and children are safe."

"Alright, increase security and be prepared for any emergencies." Gao Yuliang, remembering something, instructed, "Also, interrogate the suspect immediately, get him to talk, and find out who ordered it!"

Acting Director of the Public Security Bureau, Hong Liang, hesitated before speaking, then said, "Governor Gao, I have just interrogated the suspect, Zheng Shengli, but he insists that he was just passing by and refuses to admit that he was following him."

After a pause, Hong Liang continued, "However, according to Comrade Sun Liancheng, Zheng Shengli's actions may be directly related to Chief Prosecutor Chen Yanshi and Dafeng Factory. After all, Zheng Shengli's father is Zheng Xipo, the chairman of Dafeng Factory."

"Comrade Sun Liancheng said that he had made a real-name report on the illegal land allocation by Dafeng Factory, which affected the factory's real interests. After Zheng Xipo's son, Zheng Shengli, learned of this, he threatened him to shut up by stalking his wife and children."

"Dafeng Factory? Chen Yanshi? Zheng Xipo? Zheng Shengli?"

Gao Yuliang repeated the names of the four people and guessed the crux of the problem. The Standing Committee meeting was held this morning, and Dafeng Factory knew about the meeting this afternoon. It seems that someone tipped off Dafeng Factory.

This person is most likely Chen Yanshi, who has already been transferred to a regular ward!

Among those in the know, only Chen Yanshi possessed shares in Dafeng Factory and had a direct interest in the factory, making him the most motivey.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people are taking advantage of the situation to do their dirty work.

Gao Yuliang glanced at the hospital and said to Cheng Du, "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to visit Chief Prosecutor Chen Yanshi first."

After saying that, Gao Yuliang returned to the hospital and went straight to the VIP ward. He needed an answer: whether this was instigated by Chief Prosecutor Chen or whether he was the one who leaked the information.

In the VIP ward, Chen Yanshi, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw Gao Yuliang arrive and immediately turned his back with a cold face, clearly unwilling to pay attention to Gao Yuliang.

Mrs. Wang, Chen Yanshi's wife, glanced at Gao Yuliang and said in surprise, "Yuliang, government work is so busy, what are you doing here?"

"Mr. Wang, I had some urgent government business to attend to after the Standing Committee meeting this morning, so I rushed over as soon as I got off work," Gao Yuliang clarified, then looked at Chen Yanshi lying on the hospital bed and asked with concern, "Is Mr. Chen alright?"

"It's nothing, he's just really angry." Old Wang walked to the side, bent down to pour Gao Yuliang a glass of water, and asked, "Yuliang, didn't Old Chen go to the Standing Committee meeting this morning to give a Party lecture? What happened to make him so angry?"

"There are all sorts of rumors circulating. Some say Old Chen embezzled and accepted bribes, some say he misappropriated state-owned assets, and some say he abused his power during his tenure as deputy chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate. Do you think any of that is true?"

"This..." Looking at the expectant look on Old Wang's face, Gao Yuliang chose to remain silent, because emotionally he did not believe that his old leader Chen Yanshi had any problems. But in fact, Chen Yanshi really did have problems, and very serious ones at that!

The mere fact that Guangming District illegally approved land and embezzled hundreds of millions of yuan of state-owned assets makes Chen Yanshi undeniably responsible.

At this moment, Chen Yanshi turned his head angrily and said, "Why are you asking him? I've told you so many times, I have no problem, no problem. It's all Sun Liancheng's slander and framing. Why don't you believe me?"

Chen Yanshi glanced at Gao Yuliang, his face cold and displeased, and said, "Governor Gao, instead of busy promoting Sun Liancheng, what are you doing here? Go away, go away, I don't need you to look at me, I'm not going to die..."

Gao Yuliang frowned slightly. "Old Chen, the organization has strict rules and regulations for personnel appointments. Sun Liancheng has neither embezzled nor broken the law. Moreover, he made meritorious contributions in saving people during the 116 fire incident in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou. He should be given an important position."

Hearing Gao Yuliang's explanation, Chen Yanshi became even angrier and questioned, "Gao Yuliang, what do you mean by that? Sun Liancheng neither embezzled nor broke the law, so are you implying that I embezzled and broke the law?"

Gao Yuliang frowned even more deeply. He reminded him, "Old Chen, Chen Hai is still in the hospital, and Little Ball is so small; he needs someone right now. You can't have any problems at this time, otherwise what will happen to Old Wang? What will happen to Little Ball?"

"I'm here today because there's another thing I'd like to ask Mr. Chen."

Gao Yuliang looked at Chen Yanshi on the hospital bed, "Old Chen, were you involved in Dafeng Factory's illegal land approvals and embezzlement of state-owned assets?"

"Furthermore, what exactly is your relationship with Zheng Xipo, the chairman of Dafeng Factory? Is the No. 1 share certificate he holds yours? Did you participate in Dafeng Factory's profit sharing?"

"When you were serving as the Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, did you use your power to switch the score reports of examinees Chen Hai and Wang Lin?"

Gao Yuliang said in a serious voice, "Old Chen, tell me the truth to my face, have you been involved in corruption?"

Lying on the hospital bed, Chen Yanshi was furious and retorted angrily, "Gao Yuliang, listen up! The land approval for Dafeng Factory was not illegal, and the No. 1 shareholding of Zheng Xipo has nothing to do with me."

"I have never received a single penny of dividends from Dafeng Factory, and when I was the chief prosecutor at the procuratorate, I never abused my power or violated any regulations!"

Gao Yuliang said calmly, "Old Chen, let me say this one last time: whatever mistakes you've made, quickly explain them to the organization. Let's honestly and proactively accept the organization's investigation and handling."

Chen Yanshi's face flushed red, and his hand trembled as he pointed at Gao Yuliang. "Gao Yuliang, what exactly do you mean? I haven't broken the law, that's all. I've told you so many times, don't you understand? Or do you not believe what I'm saying?"

"If you don't believe me, why are you asking me? If I really broke the law, the organization should investigate, arrest, and execute those who deserve it!"

Old Wang chimed in, "Yuliang, don't be angry with Old Chen. He already said he didn't do those things. Old Chen never lies."

After glancing at Chen Yanshi and then at Old Wang, Gao Yuliang took a deep breath and said with a profound look in his eyes, "Alright!"

In front of Chen Yanshi, Gao Yuliang made a phone call, saying, "This is Gao Yuliang. Immediately launch an investigation into Chen Yanshi, the former deputy chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. If there are any problems, deal with them according to the law; if there are no problems, clear Comrade Chen Yanshi's name!"

After hanging up, Gao Yuliang dialed another number. "Is this the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province? This is Gao Yuliang. Contact the armed police, special police, and relevant judicial departments. Go to Dafeng Factory immediately and reclaim the land use rights of Dafeng Factory."
