Lin Yunfei: "Qi Tongwei's phone call."

44. Workers from Dafeng Factory petitioned the government, and Cai Chenggong suddenly disappeared.

44. Workers from Dafeng Factory petitioned the government, and Cai Chenggong suddenly disappeared.

"Qi Tongwei's phone call? What did he call for?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Lin Yunfei shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't know. But it's very likely that it's for the land of Dafeng Factory in the Guangmingfeng Development Zone."

After all, in the official storyline, all the characters revolve around the Dafeng Factory, a piece of land worth "one billion".

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhongzhou asked with concern, "Yunfei, Qi Tongwei is the Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province and Secretary Dangzu."

"After all, the provincial department has the power to supervise the municipal bureau. Qi Tongwei is also one of your superiors."

"Okay, Uncle Chu. I'll turn on the speakerphone so you can all listen."

Lin Yunfei was extremely cautious, knowing that Qi Tongwei had no ulterior motives. As a front man for the Zhao family, Qi Tongwei held shares in the Shanshui Group.

This point was made by Gao Yuliang in the original storyline.

Lin Yunfei reached out and put down his smartphone, then turned on speakerphone. He pressed the answer button.

Qi Tongwei's deep and steady voice reached my ears: "Comrade Yunfei, do you have time now?"

Lin Yunfei: "Where to? Director Qi?"

Qi Tongwei: "General Manager Gao from Shanshui Group would like to ask me to act as an intermediary and have a casual meal with you so we can become friends."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhongzhou frowned immediately. Sensing something was amiss, he quickly waved his hand to signal.

Lin Yunfei glanced at it and nodded slightly. He then gave a thumbs-up.

"Director Qi, I'm sorry. I'm having dinner at home with the leaders of the Central Inspection Team." Lin Yunfei deliberately concealed his specific names.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's head buzzed: "???"

Having dinner with the leaders of the inspection team?

real or fake?

If it really is true that they ate at home with the leaders of the inspection team.

There is only one possibility: Lin Yunfei has a powerful background.

The head of the inspection team, Chu Zhongzhou, is the fourth deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, a position equivalent to a ministerial level official.

That's on the same level as the newly appointed provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin.

It seems my guess was right; this Lin Yunfei might be a third-generation member of a wealthy family in Beijing.

Because Qi Tongwei had investigated before and reviewed Lin Yunfei's file.

Both his parents were farmers, and he became the executive deputy district head of Guangming District, a position equivalent to a deputy director-general, in his thirties.

Is this even possible? Both parents are farmers with no connections whatsoever.

How could a farmer's son become a deputy director-level official at such a young age?

Qi Tongwei snapped out of his daze, his mind racing: "Alright, then I won't bother you any longer."

Beep beep!!

Qi Tongwei decisively hung up the phone.

Chu Zhongzhou spoke slowly, his expression serious, looking at Lin Yunfei: "Yunfei, what do you think of Qi Tongwei?"

Lin Yunfei pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "This person is very complicated. When he was young, Qi Tongwei was full of passion. He was the anti-drug hero who was shot three times on Lone Eagle Ridge."

"Now... Qi Tongwei has changed. He's now only interested in getting promoted and becoming the vice governor."

Lin Yunfei still didn't explain it clearly, only giving a brief and concise summary.

"Qi Tongwei's understanding of power."

"Heroes are merely tools of power," Lin Yunfei bluntly stated.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan was completely baffled: "Qi Tongwei, what are you thinking? A tool."

Lin Yunfei explained, "When Qi Tongwei was young, he was suppressed by Liang Lu. After graduating from Handong University, he was assigned to a township judicial office in Yantai City as a judicial assistant."

Zhao Lan's surprised expression quickly revealed her keen grasp of the key point: "Who is Liang Lu?"

"Liang Lu is Liang Qunfeng's daughter. Liang Qunfeng is the former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province."

"He deliberately suppressed Qi Tongwei."

“Even though Qi Tongwei was shot three times and received a first-class merit, he still didn’t get promoted or given a higher position,” Lin Yunfei said slowly, his expression serious.

Zhao Lan suddenly realized: "This Liang Qunfeng is clearly abusing his power to bully ordinary people."

Lin Yunfei shook his head, looking at his wife with doting eyes: "The affairs of officialdom are very complicated. They cannot be explained in a few words."

Chu Zhongzhou sighed and cautioned, "Yunfei, your experience in officialdom is still too shallow. People like Qi Tongwei will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

"You'd better be careful. Don't contact him, especially not in private."

Lin Yunfei nodded: "I know, Uncle Chu. That's why I didn't accept Qi Tongwei's invitation."

Chu Zhongzhou patted Lin Yunfei on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Yunfei, you did very well. The officialdom is like a battlefield; one wrong step leads to another."

Zhao Lan listened from the sidelines, completely bewildered, unable to comprehend the intrigue and power struggles within officialdom.

After all, she comes from a top-tier wealthy family and is Zhao Mengsheng's only daughter. She also pursues a career in military scientific research.

She frowned: "Yunfei, Uncle Chu, I don't understand what you're saying."

Lin Yunfei smiled and said, "Lanlan, it's normal that you don't understand. Things in officialdom are inherently complicated."

Chu Zhongzhou smiled and said, "Lanlan, you just need to remember this: no matter where you are, stay true to yourself. Don't let these complicated things make you lose yourself."

Zhao Lan nodded: "I understand, Uncle Chu."

At that moment, Lin Yunfei's phone rang again.

Lin Yunfei glanced at the caller ID; it was from Sun Liancheng, Deputy Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

He frowned and answered the phone: "Hello, Sun Liancheng. What happened?"

Sun Liancheng's voice was somewhat urgent: "Yunfei, something terrible has happened. The employees of Dafeng Factory have collectively petitioned the municipal government. Their factory director, Cai Chenggong, has been missing for fifteen days."

"Cai Chenggong is now nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead."

"The employees of Dafeng Factory haven't been paid their wages. There's no money left in the account."

Lin Yunfei sensed something was wrong: "Lian Cheng, what about the Shanshui Group?"

Sun Liancheng sighed and gave a bitter smile: "Shanshui Group has already made it clear to the municipal party committee that they will not demolish Dafeng Factory and they don't want this land anymore."

"However, of these more than a thousand workers, they indicated that they could only accommodate one-third."

Gao Xiaoqin, what are you doing?

Lin Yunfei immediately frowned, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Requesting flowers...

Sun Liancheng continued on the other end of the phone, "The situation is getting a bit out of control. These workers are agitated, and we're trying our best to calm them down. Yunfei, do you think you can think of a solution?"

Lin Yunfei took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He understood that this situation could easily lead to even greater social problems if not handled carefully.

"Liancheng, stabilize the situation first. Tell the workers that the government will definitely pay attention to their demands. I will contact the relevant departments immediately to see if we can find Cai Chenggong, and at the same time coordinate with the Shanshui Group to try our best to solve their employment problems," Lin Yunfei said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Sun Liancheng seemed relieved: "Okay, Yunfei. I'll stall for time and wait for you to coordinate."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei looked at Chu Zhongzhou and Zhao Lan with a solemn expression: "It seems that the matter of Dafeng Factory is more complicated than I imagined."

"Shanshui Group, Gao Xiaoqin, Cai Chenggong, and these 1,300-plus workers—every link is interconnected."

Chu Zhongzhou nodded, clearly realizing the seriousness of the matter: "Yunfei, you'll probably have to personally intervene this time. After all, you are the Director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau and the Party Secretary of Guangming District."

Without hesitation, Lin Yunfei stood up, picked up his executive jacket, and said, "Uncle Chu, Lanlan, please wait for me at home. I'm going to the municipal government to check on things."

Although Zhao Lan was worried, she knew that this was not the time for her to intervene, so she could only nod and say, "Yunfei, be careful."

Lin Yunfei smiled and patted Zhao Lan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

After saying that, Lin Yunfei grabbed his coat and hurriedly left home.

He knew that every step from here on out would test his wisdom and courage. And all of this was for the stability of Handong Province.

My grandfather and father-in-law, Zhao Mengsheng, had very simple requirements.

No one can die in Handong Province; that's a red line.

We will do our utmost to stabilize the economy above the red line.

. . . . . .

As Lin Yunfei drove to the municipal government, he kept thinking about how to deal with the situation.

The petitions by employees of Dafeng Factory, the sudden disappearance of Cai Chenggong, and the sudden change of heart by Shanshui Group all seem to conceal a deeper conspiracy.

Upon arriving at the municipal government, Lin Yunfei went straight to the office of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

Sun Liancheng was already waiting there, looking anxious.

"Yunfei, you've finally arrived." Sun Liancheng greeted him. "These workers are very emotionally unstable, and we must come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Lin Yunfei nodded, gesturing for Sun Liancheng to sit down first. He calmly began to recount the ins and outs of the incident.

"First, we need to find Cai Chenggong. He is a key figure at Dafeng Factory. Only by finding him can we understand the truth of the matter," Lin Yunfei said in a deep voice.

Sun Liancheng nodded in agreement: "I have already called the police and asked Political Commissar Luo of the Municipal Bureau to send someone to look for Cai Chenggong, but there is still no news."

Lin Yunfei snapped out of his daze, took out his phone, and dialed Political Commissar Luo's number.

"Political Commissar Luo, it's me. Lin Yunfei."

"There's a situation now: Cai Chenggong, the owner of Dafeng Factory, has been missing for more than ten days. He's nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead."

Lin Yunfei recounted: "I once investigated and found that Cai Chenggong owed 1 billion yuan in usurious loans."
