Chapter 96

Depart Immediately, to the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Compound!

"The Discipline Inspection Team?" Seeing the two men's identification and hearing that they were looking for Chen Yanshi, the former deputy chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, Sun Liancheng's eyes lit up. He excitedly asked, "Has the old man's crime been confirmed, and now they're going to arrest him?"

The two members of the provincial government's discipline inspection team exchanged a glance and, without concealing anything, truthfully stated: "Through investigation and evidence collection by the provincial government's discipline inspection team, it has now been determined that Chen Yan, the former deputy chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, is suspected of multiple crimes, including bribery, embezzlement, abuse of power, and misappropriation of state-owned assets. He needs to be taken back for further investigation."

"Comrade, we hope you can cooperate with the discipline inspection and anti-corruption work."

"Cooperate! Of course we'll cooperate!" Sun Liancheng's mouth was practically stretched from ear to ear with joy, and he was overjoyed. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Chengdu! Chengdu...!"

"Here I am, Commander-in-Chief..." Cheng Du, who was on the phone, heard Sun Liancheng calling him and hurriedly ran over.

Sun Liancheng pointed at the two discipline inspection personnel and ordered, "Chengdu, the comrades from the discipline inspection team are looking for Chen Yanshi. Go and bring Chen Yanshi out and hand him over to the comrades from the discipline inspection team."

Cheng Du looked troubled. "Commander Sun, I can't take them. I just received a call from my informant at Dafeng Factory. Something's happened there!"

"Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Ji have been assaulted!"

"The informant said the beating was quite severe; they can't even crawl out..."

Sun Liancheng's pupils constricted, and he clapped his hands suddenly, laughing loudly, "Holy crap, double happiness!"

Cheng Du frowned and reminded him, "Commander Sun, Chen Yanshi and Ji Changming, one is the former deputy chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, and the other is the current chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. It wouldn't be good if they were beaten to death inside, would it?"

Sun Liancheng waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Chengdu, you're being unreasonable. Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Ji are in close negotiations with Dafeng Factory. This beating is all a ruse, understand?"

Cheng Du's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he laughed, "Right, right, we didn't receive any SOS requests from Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Ji. This is a ruse, a ruse..."

Just then, Ji Changming, the chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, ran out of the makeshift meeting room and fled frantically. His face was filled with terror as he shouted, "Help me!"

Behind Ji Changming, more than a dozen people chased after him, each with fierce eyes and agile steps.

Seeing this, Sun Liancheng's expression gradually turned serious. Although Ji Changming was a fence-sitter who switched sides, he was the chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate and a centrally-managed cadre. He had already asked for help, so they couldn't just watch him get beaten to death.

Sun Liancheng walked to the door and shouted loudly at Ji Changming, "Chief Prosecutor Ji, I didn't want a conflict either, but I'm doing this to save you..."

Ji Changming was in a terrible state; a patch of his hair had been ripped off, his face was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn to shreds. He was almost beaten to death, so he couldn't maintain his composure and could only shout for help: "Help me!"

Sun Liancheng waved his hand and ordered, "Move immediately!"

Armed police and special police advanced towards Dafeng Factory. Seeing the armed police rushing into the factory, one of the factory's shareholders shouted incitement, "Brothers and sisters, don't be afraid. There are so many of us, they definitely won't dare to fire. I..."

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold gunshot!

The bullet struck his shoulder, and a searing pain spread from his right shoulder. His eyes widened in terror, and a piercing scream escaped his throat: "Ah! Ah..."

The shareholders of Dafeng Factory, who were prepared to put up a last-ditch resistance, were completely stunned when they saw this scene. They hadn't even put up a fight yet, so why were they being shot?

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

While they were still stunned, two more ear-piercing gunshots rang out from the Dafeng Factory, followed by two more people falling into pools of blood, letting out miserable howls.

"run!"

The cold-blooded ruthlessness of the armed police and special police completely shattered the psychological defenses of these shareholders of Dafeng Factory, and they began to flee in all directions. They had just received several million yuan in compensation from Shanshui Manor, and they hadn't even spent it all yet. Each of them cherished their lives more than anyone else.

Those who were close enough to escape couldn't get away. They instinctively crouched down, raised their hands in surrender, and trembled like leaves, almost wetting themselves in fear.

As the armed police and special police continued their advance into Dafeng Factory, the previously defiant shareholders surrendered faster and faster. The entire Dafeng Factory was quickly and successfully taken over, and Sun Liancheng led the provincial department personnel in to handle the aftermath.

Of course, among the people from the provincial department, there were also some people from the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau.

Sun Liancheng frowned as he looked at Ji Changming, the chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, who was limping towards him, and questioned, "Chief Prosecutor Ji, I only wanted to scare the people from Dafeng Factory. If it weren't for saving you, I definitely wouldn't have taken any action. Shouldn't you thank me?"

Ji Changming's face was as black as charcoal. He cursed Sun Liancheng in his heart for being shameless. If he hadn't appeared half an hour ago, Sun Liancheng would have already ordered the action to be taken.

Now, damn it, all the blame has been shifted onto me, and I'm supposed to thank you?

Just then, Cheng Du helped Chen Yanshi, whose face was bruised and swollen and who could barely walk, out. Chen Yanshi looked terrified and said, still shaken, "Don't hit me, don't hit me, I won't leave..."

Sun Liancheng stepped forward, looked at Chen Yanshi who was so badly beaten that he didn't even recognize his own horse, and said jokingly, "Now I admire you a little. Really, you've really become one with the common people. Whether you fought or not is another matter, but I admire you for being able to fight at all."

Upon hearing Sun Liancheng's voice, Chen Yanshi shuddered and gradually came to his senses. "Sun Liancheng, you've arrested this person and taken back the industrial land of Xindafeng Factory. If there's nothing else, quickly arrange a car for me. I'm injured and need to get to the hospital urgently."

Sun Liancheng chuckled: "Well, you probably can't go to the hospital, but you could go to the disciplinary inspection department."

Chen Yanshi was stunned for a moment, then angrily retorted, "Sun Liancheng, what do you mean? I don't believe you dare to arrest me..."

Before Chen Yanshi could finish speaking, the two members of the disciplinary inspection team approached him with their identification and arrest warrant, saying coldly, "Chen Yanshi, you are suspected of multiple crimes, including bribery, embezzlement, abuse of power, and misappropriation of state-owned assets. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation!"

"I...I...I..."

Chen Yanshi's face turned pale, and he was clearly panicked. He stammered for a long time without being able to say a word. Finally, he was taken away by the comrades from the discipline inspection team while trembling all over.

The last one to be brought out was Zheng Xipo, the chairman of Dafeng Factory. Upon seeing Sun Liancheng, an old acquaintance, he struggled and roared, "Sun Liancheng, what kind of skill is it to arrest me? The land for the new Dafeng Factory was approved by Li Dakang, why don't you go arrest Li Dakang?"

"I won't accept those who bully the weak and fear the strong!"

"Wait a minute!" Sun Liancheng raised his hand, turned to look at Zheng Xipo, and said, "Zheng Xipo, I'll show you today whether I'm capable or not, whether I'm a coward who only talks the talk!"

"Take Zheng Xipo with you, and head to the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee compound immediately!"
