Zhang Yuan, the president of the High Court of Handong Province, called Lin Yunfei.
Zhang Yuan: "Yunfei. Regarding Chen Yanshi's lawsuit against Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee... I just received a call from Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee."
Lin Yunfei's expression was serious, and he pointed out incisively: "Chen Yanshi appears to be speaking up for the people on the surface, but he is hypocritical behind the scenes. He is power-hungry and abuses his authority."
"On the night of January 16th, Chen Yanshi called the provincial party secretary Sha Ruijin 'Little Jinzi' in front of Li Dakang."
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Yuan frowned, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Is this really true?"
Lin Yunfei said with absolute certainty: "Uncle Zhang, it's absolutely true. I was taken hostage right there that night. Chen Yanshi is still active even after retiring, and he keeps talking about being an ordinary person."
"In the blink of an eye, I made a phone call. To the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, to the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission."
"Isn't this a blatant double standard?"
Lin Yunfei made a startling statement: "There's one more thing. Chen Yanshi was the mayor of Jingzhou back then, and Zhao Lichun was the municipal party secretary."
"Chen Yanshi, don't you know about Zhao Lichun's illegal and criminal activities?"
"Zhao Lichun stayed in Handong for thirty years. A full thirty years."
"Chen Yanshi seized on the fact that Zhao Lichun turned on the air conditioner on a hot day and said that Zhao Lichun was out of touch with the masses."
Lin Yunfei became more and more agitated as he spoke: "But he turned a blind eye to Zhao Lichun's more serious violations of laws and regulations. Isn't that intentional cover-up? Or did he himself benefit from it?"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Yuan said, "Yunfei, you can't just say things like that. You can't draw conclusions without solid evidence. However, the matter of Chen Yanshi suing Li Dakang has become complicated now. What does Deputy Secretary Gao Yuliang mean by this?"
Lin Yunfei snorted coldly: "Gao Yuliang is his old subordinate, and I guess he is also taking a wait-and-see attitude, after all, this matter involves a lot of people. But I think Chen Yanshi is just using the lawsuit against Li Dakang as an excuse to make a splash after retirement and continue to control some of the discourse."
Lin Yunfei made a startling statement: "After all, Sha Ruijin has already abandoned Chen Yanshi."
"After Chen Hai's incident, Sha Ruijin decisively cut ties and never went to the Chen family again."
"That is enough to prove it."
Zhang Yuan sighed softly: "No matter what, we must handle this matter carefully. We must not wrong an innocent person, nor let the real lawbreakers go unpunished."
Lin Yunfei hit the nail on the head: "Uncle Zhang, Chen Yanshi's so-called protection of Dafeng Factory for the sake of the people is, in essence, not based on proper procedures or the law."
"No, not at all."
"To put it bluntly, Chen Yanshi relied on his special relationship with Sha Ruijin to use power to suppress power."
Lin Yunfei made a startling statement: "In Chen Yanshi's eyes, the law is just a piece of paper."
"The most terrifying thing about Chen Yanshi is that he breaks the law at every turn. But he thinks he's right."
"When he has no resources, he can only rely on his seniority and moral high ground."
“When he had resources, he relied on the top leader of Handong, our Provincial Party Secretary Sha.”
"Because Chen Yanshi supported Secretary Sha for several years."
A mocking smile appeared on Lin Yunfei's face: "What's even more absurd is that the two of them don't even have a phone number. They haven't been in contact for thirty years."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, trying to sort out this complicated relationship: "Yunfei, do you mean that the relationship between Chen Yanshi and Sha Ruijin is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there may even be some kind of exploitative relationship?"
"What you're saying all needs to be supported by evidence."
Lin Yunfei nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of certainty: "Uncle Zhang, of course I know the importance of evidence."
"But think about it, Chen Yanshi has been in and out of office for so many years. How could he have gotten to this position without some tricks up his sleeve? His lawsuit against Li Dakang may seem like a righteous act on the surface, but in reality... there are countless calculations behind it."
Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Yunfei, your analysis makes some sense. But as legal professionals, we must adhere to the bottom line of the law and cannot convict people based solely on guesswork and inference."
"I will personally oversee Chen Yanshi's lawsuit against Li Dakang to ensure a fair process and bring the truth to light."
Seeing Zhang Yuan's resolute attitude, Lin Yunfei said no more, but secretly thought to himself: This matter is probably far more complicated than it appears on the surface.
"Uncle Zhang, I advise you not to get involved. The evidence is insufficient; just hand the case over to the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court."
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Yuan finally agreed in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Within the system, ordinary people do not get fair opportunities or fair promotions.
. . . . . .
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei, along with his secretary Liu Can and key officials from various departments in Guangming District, went to the resettlement site for miners in the shantytown.
Visit and offer condolences to the injured.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you've been wronged."
"I am Lin Yunfei, the newly appointed Party Secretary of Guangming District."
"According to my information, Wang Ping'an, the general manager of Jingzhou Securities, has been dismissed from his post."
"Shi Hongxing, the general manager of Jingzhou Zhongfu Group, surrendered herself to the anti-corruption bureau of the procuratorate. She approved the allocation of 500 million yuan in housing renovation funds for her cousin, Wang Ping'an, to invest in futures."
Lin Yunfei was wearing a police uniform and a police hat. He was holding a large megaphone.
Standing on a makeshift platform, he addressed the shantytown residents gathered below, saying loudly, "Rest assured, the government will never let any criminals escape justice, nor will it ignore the grievances and losses you have suffered. The downfall and surrender of Wang Ping'an and Shi Hongxing are just the beginning. We will further investigate the underlying chain of interests and give you an explanation."
An elderly man with gray hair, leaning on a cane, walked forward shakily and said, "Secretary Lin, we ordinary people just want to live a peaceful life. The shantytown renovation has been delayed for ten years, and our lives have been too hard."
Lin Yunfei quickly stepped down from the platform, helped the old man up, and said gently, "Grandpa, don't worry, I came to Guangming District to solve these problems. There was a problem with the funding for the redevelopment housing this time, but we will re-plan to ensure that every penny is used effectively so that everyone can move into their new homes as soon as possible."
An elderly woman holding a child nearby said anxiously, "Secretary Lin, my child is all grown up and is still crammed into this small, dilapidated house. When will we be able to have a more spacious place?"
Looking at the adorable child in the old woman's arms, Lin Yunfei said firmly, "Auntie, don't worry, I've already drafted a preliminary resettlement plan. We'll accelerate the progress of the shantytown renovation project and prioritize solving the housing problems of families like yours with real difficulties. Moreover, the subsequent compensation and resettlement policies will be more reasonable and transparent."
Secretary Liu Can walked to Lin Yunfei's side and said softly, "Secretary Lin, it's almost time. We have other scheduled activities later."
Lin Yunfei nodded and said loudly to the crowd, "Grandpas and grandmas, let me be frank with you today. I will do my best to improve your living environment. I will visit you often in the future. If you have any difficulties or problems, you can contact me and the head of Guangming District at any time."
. . . . . .
Meanwhile, Chen Yanshi's case was transferred by the High Court to the Jingzhou Intermediate Court on the grounds of unclear facts and insufficient evidence.
The Intermediate Court immediately convened a meeting to discuss the matter and, for the same reason, transferred the case to the Guangming District Court.
The Guangming District Court held an emergency meeting overnight and directly rejected Chen Yanshi's request, citing "no case accepted."
Sunset Red Nursing Home, Chen Family.
It was deserted, with only Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuzhen present.
Despite the terrible tragedy that has befallen the Chen family, their daughter, Chen Hai, has not returned.
Chen Yanshi sat on the somewhat worn-out sofa, staring blankly ahead, looking as if he had aged considerably in an instant. Wang Fuzhen silently wiped away her tears, muttering to herself, "He was perfectly fine, how did he end up like this?"
After a long while, Chen Yanshi slowly came to his senses and said in a hoarse voice, "My dear wife, don't cry. This isn't as simple as it seems. They're deliberately targeting me to try and shut me up." Wang Fuzhen stopped wiping away her tears and looked at Chen Yanshi with concern. "Old Chen, what should we do now? If we can't win this case, what will we do in the future?" Chen Yanshi gritted his teeth, a hint of stubbornness in his eyes. "Hmph, do they think they can defeat me like this? I, Chen Yanshi, am upright and honest. Even if I lose this time, I will never give up."
Just then, the phone rang. Wang Fuzhen quickly got up to answer it, and a somewhat unfamiliar voice came from the other end: "Mr. Chen, this is from the Guangming District Court. Regarding your lawsuit against Secretary Li Dakang, after careful consideration, our court has decided not to accept the case. We hope you can understand."
· ········Requesting 0 flowers ·······
Upon hearing this, Chen Yanshi flew into a rage and shouted into the phone, "Understand? How can I understand? You officials are protecting each other and don't care about ordinary people at all!" With that, he slammed down the phone.
Looking at the furious Chen Yanshi, Wang Fuzhen felt both anxious and afraid: "Old Chen, calm down, don't hurt yourself. How about we think of another way?" Chen Yanshi took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, and slowly said: "A way? What other way is there? Even the court doesn't care anymore, it seems I can only rely on myself."
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Wang Fuzhen walked over and opened the door, only to find several people who looked like reporters standing there. One of the reporters said, "Hello, we are from the news media. We would like to interview Mr. Chen Yanshi about his lawsuit against Secretary Li Dakang, which was rejected by the court."
Wang Fuzhen turned to look at Chen Yanshi, who nodded and said, "Let them in."
Reporters entered the room and gathered around Chen Yanshi. One reporter asked first, "Mr. Chen, what is your opinion on the court's refusal to accept the case?" Chen Yanshi cleared his throat and said seriously, "I think this is unjust. I have sufficient reasons and evidence to sue Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee. The court's actions are undoubtedly protecting lawbreakers and a desecration of the law."
..... .... ...
Another reporter then asked, "So, Mr. Chen, what are your plans next?" Chen Yanshi replied with a firm gaze, "I will not give up. I will continue to report the situation to my superiors and I will definitely seek justice."
After the interviews, the reporters left the Chen family home.
puff!
Chen Yanshi suddenly became agitated and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Wang Fuzhen turned pale with fright and cried out in panic, "Old Chen, Old Chen, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" She rushed to Chen Yanshi's side, her hands trembling as she tried to support him.
Chen Yanshi's body swayed precariously, his face as pale as paper, and blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Wang Fuzhen quickly pulled out her phone, her fingers frantically swiping across the screen. She finally managed to dial an ambulance, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "Is this 120? This is the Sunset Red Nursing Home. My husband has suddenly vomited blood! Please come quickly!"
While waiting for the ambulance, Wang Fuzhen held Chen Yanshi's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face, and kept saying, "Old Chen, you must hold on, we can't just collapse like this."
Chen Yanshi opened his eyes slightly, looked weakly at Wang Fuzhen, wanted to say something, but could only open his mouth without making a sound.
A moment later, the siren of an ambulance grew louder as it approached. Paramedics quickly got out of their vehicle, lifted Chen Yanshi onto a stretcher, and put him in the ambulance. Wang Fuzhen also got in, holding Chen Yanshi's hand tightly the entire way, her eyes filled with worry and anxiety.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Chen Yanshi was immediately taken to the intensive care unit.
The doctors quickly began the rescue, and the sounds of various instruments and equipment echoed in the ward. Wang Fuzhen sat on a chair outside the intensive care unit, her hands clasped together, praying incessantly: "God, please bless Old Chen so that he will be safe and sound. He has devoted his whole life to the people, he can't just leave like this."
After a long while, the doctor came out of the intensive care unit. Wang Fuzhen hurriedly got up, rushed to the doctor, and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my old man?"
The doctor removed his mask and said with a serious expression, "The patient's condition is not optimistic. He is elderly and has suffered such a great shock, which has aggravated his condition. We have done our best to save him, but he still needs close observation and treatment."
Upon hearing this, Wang Fuzhen's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, a nurse nearby caught her in time. Suppressing her grief, she said to the doctor, "Doctor, you must save him. No matter how much it costs, we will treat him."
The doctor nodded and said, "We will do our best, and you, the family, should be prepared." With that, the doctor went back into the intensive care unit. Wang Fuzhen sat in a chair, silently shedding tears, waiting for news from Chen Yanshi.
177. The powers of the top two leaders of the provincial party committee were transferred to the Water Resources Department by Qi Tongwei.
177. The powers of the top two leaders of the provincial party committee were transferred to the Water Resources Department by Qi Tongwei.
Chen Yanshi vomited blood and was admitted to the intensive care unit.
This matter was immediately reported to Gao Yuliang, the third-ranking official in the provincial party committee.
Gao Yuliang and Chen Yanshi have always had a very good relationship.
It's clear from the TV series that Gao Yuliang always addressed Chen Yanshi as "Old Chen".
Chen Yanshi even went to Gao Yuliang's provincial party committee villa and smuggled a potted welcoming pine tree.
This welcoming pine tree is a very expensive bonsai.
Tap! !
Gao Yuliang, dressed in an executive jacket, was accompanied by his secretary, Xiao He. Behind them followed the hospital's president, executive vice president, and various department heads.
"Old Wang, Old Chen, how is the situation?" Gao Yuliang asked Wang Fuzhen anxiously.
Wang Fuzhen's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Yuliang, Old Chen '543' is quite ill this time. He's still under observation in the intensive care unit, and the doctor said his condition is not very optimistic."
