Operation Commander: Sun Liancheng

On the phone, Gao Yuliang sighed deeply: "Old Chen, didn't I tell you not to get involved in this mess? Why wouldn't you listen?"

Without a second thought, Chen Yanshi immediately said, "There's no other way. Whether I get involved or not, I'm already in this mess. I was in charge of this factory back then, and I promised the workers that I wouldn't give up until their problems were solved."

Gao Yuliang said in a deep voice, "Old Chen, let me give you one last piece of advice. The evidence is conclusive that the Xindafeng Factory illegally approved the land, illegally built the factory, and embezzled state-owned assets. You can't break the law knowingly!"

Chen Yanshi's expression changed, and he said angrily, "Gao Yuliang, I see now. You've completely abandoned me. Fine, if you won't abandon me, I'll go find Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin."

The next second, Chen Yanshi decisively hung up the phone and called Sha Ruijin: "Little Jinzi, come and save me! I'm surrounded by them, and they're going to shoot me!"

……

In the provincial party committee compound, Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin stood by the window, his brows furrowed as he watched the police cars that occasionally whizzed past on the road.

Gao Yuliang wants to reclaim the ten acres of industrial land belonging to the Xindafeng Factory!

It just happened so abruptly!

When Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary, first heard the news, he was stunned and incredulous. His first thought was that Gao Yuliang had gone mad.

However, after much deliberation, Sha Ruijin realized that Gao Yuliang was not crazy at all, but rather had a very clever and unsolvable scheme. The new Dafeng Factory had illegally approved the land, so the land of the new Dafeng Factory was legally reclaimed and the illegal buildings were demolished. What was wrong with that?

The key point is that Xiao Gangyu, the chief prosecutor of Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate, was imprisoned; Gao Yuliang, the former deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Handong Province, was taken away by the inspection team; and Zhao Lichun was placed under investigation. All of this started from Dafeng Factory, which is also the core of his anti-corruption achievements!

If Gao Yuliang really reclaimed the industrial land of Xindafeng Factory, wouldn't that prove that the people he had been vigorously protecting were a group of unruly troublemakers? A group of criminals who broke the law?

Gao Yuliang's move not only completely negated all his efforts in coming to Handong, but also openly criticized himself for not only failing to achieve anything after arriving in Handong, but also for making mistakes!

Sha Ruijin took out his phone and dialed the number of Ji Changming, the chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. "Chief Prosecutor Ji, have you heard about the incident at the Xindafeng Factory? Open clashes between police and civilians—how can this be allowed?"

Ji Changming's voice came through the phone: "Secretary Sha, I just found out about this. Governor Gao also transferred the case files of Shanshui Manor and Dafeng Factory from the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. Among them are the compensation of 730 million yuan to Dafeng Factory for resettlement and one-time buyout before Zhao Ruilong was arrested."

Sha Ruijin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Old Ji, tell me the truth: is there really a problem with the industrial land for the new Dafeng Factory that Jingzhou City approved?"

Ji Changming hesitated and said, "Secretary Sha, I've reviewed the case file. There are indeed problems with the industrial land that Jingzhou City approved for Xindafeng Factory."

"The land first approved for the new Dafeng factory is commercial land in the development zone, and the land use is not industrial land. Changing the land use without authorization is suspected of being illegal and irregular."

"Furthermore, the compensation of 730 million yuan from Shanshui Manor includes compensation for the land and its attachments. This money has been distributed to the employees of Dafeng Factory according to their shareholding ratio."

"Since Dafeng Factory has already received compensation, how can it apply to the government for free land?"

After a pause, Ji Changming continued on the phone, "Secretary Sha, the best solution now is to have the shareholders of Xindafeng Factory use 730 million yuan to buy the land of Xindafeng Factory. That would be legal."

"Otherwise, Governor Gao can not only reclaim the land that was illegally approved for the Xindafeng Factory, but also hold those responsible for the illegal land approval accountable according to law."

"Secretary Sha, why don't you and the Provincial Party Committee talk to Governor Gao first and see if there are any other solutions?"

Sha Ruijin narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then made up his mind. "Old Ji, I will discuss this with Governor Gao with the Provincial Committee."

"Also, you should go to the new Dafeng Factory immediately and work with Old Chen to persuade the shareholders of the new Dafeng Factory to put up money to buy the land of the new Dafeng Factory. The government will provide them with compensation in terms of policy."

"Yes, Secretary Sha, I'll set off immediately..."

After hanging up the phone with Ji Changming, Sha Ruijin immediately contacted Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee. Since this incident occurred in Jingzhou, Li Dakang, as the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, had a lot of say.

"Secretary Li, what's going on with this major incident of a standoff between police and civilians at the Xindafeng Factory in Jingzhou City?"

Li Dakang's voice sounded somewhat troubled, "Secretary Sha, this matter involves Governor Gao, I..."

Sha Ruijin interrupted Li Dakang with a serious expression and a solemn voice: "Secretary Dakang, I spoke with Governor Gao on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, but remember this: under no circumstances should the standoff between the police and civilians at the Xindafeng Factory escalate into a full-blown conflict. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Secretary Sha. I'll set off immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Dakang, from Jingzhou City, half-reclined in his office chair. Beside him, Zhao Donglai, the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, was analyzing the pros and cons with him word by word.

"Secretary Li, is that Secretary Sha's phone call?"

Zhao Donglai said cautiously, "I guess Secretary Sha called you at this time to stop Governor Gao from taking back Dafeng Factory. After all, Dafeng Factory is the core of Secretary Sha's anti-corruption achievements in Handong. If something really happens to Dafeng Factory..."

Zhao Donglai didn't finish speaking, but Li Dakang already understood his meaning. He had already seen it coming. Gao Yuliang's legal repossession of the Xindafeng Factory land was a direct blow to the vital artery of Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin.

If Gao Yuliang succeeds, then the anti-corruption campaign launched by Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin in Handong will not only be fruitless, but will also be a major mistake!

This is further linked to the fact that Yi Xuexi, who was promoted by the provincial party secretary Sha Ruijin through exceptional means, was taken away by the organization's top leader because of the exorbitant tea price incident, and that at the Standing Committee meeting, Sun Liancheng, the former instructor of the Jingzhou Children's Palace, publicly confronted the provincial party secretary Sha Ruijin and listed many of his crimes.

Li Dakang had a vague, ominous premonition that the Sha family clique, led by Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin, was in its most dangerous moment.

……

In Office No. 1 of the Hantong Provincial Government, Gao Yuliang shook his head and hung up the phone, a faint bitter smile playing on his lips.

Qi Tongwei, who came to report on the progress of the new energy vehicle factory construction, looked at Gao Yuliang and said, "Teacher, is this Chief Prosecutor Chen? Is it that Chief Prosecutor Chen is once again blocking the way when Dafeng Factory was taken back?"

Qi Tongwei said, "Teacher, you were once Chief Prosecutor Chen's subordinate, so why don't you let me command this operation?"

"Teacher, please rest assured. Chen Yanshi has been kind to you, but not to me. I will definitely uphold justice and remove all obstacles!"

Gao Yuliang looked at Qi Tongwei and smiled meaningfully, saying, "No need, I have a more suitable candidate."

During the conversation, Gao Yuliang made a phone call: "Comrade Sun Liancheng? This is Gao Yuliang. The provincial government is going to reclaim the industrial land of Xindafeng Factory in accordance with the law and hold the relevant responsible persons accountable."

"The new Dafeng Factory is now surrounded, but a suitable commander has not been found. The provincial government considers that you previously served as the head of Guangming District and are at the deputy provincial level, making you suitable to command this operation. Would you like to consider it?"

Without a second's hesitation, Sun Liancheng exclaimed, "Such a good thing?"
