Chapter 14:-for-tat

The footsteps gradually sounded, and Lin Chendui's nerves tensed all of a sudden, and his heart beat faster than ever.

All around was the sound of human voices and shoes trampling weeds, countless flashlights and pillars of light danced wildly, swaying past Lin Chendu's hiding place from time to time, he hugged the trunk of the tree tightly, and hid his body in the dense branches as much as possible, not even daring to look down, for fear that the tree would shake the leaves and wake up the wolf-like enemy below.

At this time, I heard someone scold angrily: "Damn, a bunch of waste, so many people can't catch a person, what's the use of me raising you?" ”

Lin Chendui's heart tightened, he was no stranger to this voice at all, even if it lacked the warmth of the day at the moment. He secretly poked his head out, condescendingly, and saw Ge Hao, the general manager of Sun Paper, who was loudly scolding the group of people there, his slender eyes flashing fiercely, and his eyes seemed to erupt with anger.

"Boss, don't worry, I can't catch this Secretary Lin, I won't come back to see you." A big man patted his chest and said to Ge Hao, his sharp eyes were full of murderous light.

"Catch him and ask him to look good, damn, you dare to smash my head!" Another strong man with gauze wrapped around his head also had a look of hatred.

This person, Lin Chenwan also remembers, his head seems to have been smashed by his camera. It wasn't long after I bought the camera, and now that I think about it, Lin Chenwan still feels a little distressed.

"Shut the fuck up for me!" Ge Hao scolded with a calm face, his voice was not loud, it sounded soft and not very powerful, but the two strong men in front of him were silent, and they didn't dare to squeak for half a sentence.

"Snatch the film back for me, ...... person" Ge Hao's iron-blue face showed a cold and terrifying smile, and he didn't speak, and directly made a motion to wipe his neck.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chenwan almost fell from the tree in horror, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead!

He didn't dare to imagine it at all, but it was just the discharge of untreated industrial wastewater into Phoenix Lake, even if it was verified, it would only be a matter of fines and suspension of production, as for the trouble to the point of dying or living? And this Ge Hao actually raised so many fierce and bloodthirsty outlaws in the factory, and he didn't look like a serious businessman at all, which made Lin Chendui have a lot of doubts in his heart.

Is there any other secret in this Sun Paper?

A large group of people scattered and searched the woods, not even sparing every bush, but they didn't remember that Lin Chendui was hiding above their heads at this time.

One minute, one second, the time seemed to be so long, and every second was tormenting Lin Chendu's anxious heart.

Finally, there was a sound of movement under the tree, and after a while, the voices were far away. Lin Chendui hurriedly wanted to come down from under the tree, he didn't expect it just now, but when they couldn't find anyone, they would definitely remember that they had missed the tree.

But at the slightest movement, a wave of dizziness hit his head, and he staggered, almost falling off the tree.

Blood seeped out of the clothes little by little,

This is the wound he left when he desperately escaped. At that moment, Lin Chendui didn't know where the potential burst out, and he actually knocked over a few people who came to arrest him, and ran wildly all the way. The other party is chasing after each other. Fortunately, the night and the woods provided him with excellent help, otherwise he would have been caught long ago.

"Poof", when he was less than two meters from the ground, Lin Chendui still fell, although the sound was not loud, but it shocked his heart pounding, and his ears were also pricked up, listening to the movements around him. Fortunately, it didn't alarm the others, which gave him a long sigh of relief. He struggled to sit up, moving very slowly, very lightly, each movement accompanied by a shiver that pierced into the marrow, but he tried to calm himself, tried to block out the painful sensation, and stood up against the trunk of the tree.

"Look, there's blood here!" Someone suddenly shouted, and then the others rushed in.

Lin Chendui's face suddenly became bloodless. He knew that this forest was not big, and as long as he found clues to the other party, he would never be able to run away.

Immediately, without the slightest hesitation, he mustered up the last bit of strength and took a step and ran, and faintly heard scolding and footsteps coming from behind.

"Run, keep running!"

Lin Chenwan only had this thought in his mind now.

Rapid breathing makes the air in the lungs seem to be evacuated. A wave of dizziness attacked his nerves, and his feet were even softer as if he was stepping on cotton, but Lin Chendui kept encouraging himself with an extremely firm will. Only his own heavy wheezing sound could be heard in his ears, but Lin Chendu's nerves were still tense. He didn't know what secret he had to kill himself in Sun Paper, but he knew that if he couldn't escape, he might not be able to save his life.

He was still young, he had great ambitions, he had not yet married and had children, and he did not want to die.

"Poof", I don't know what I was tripping under my feet, Lin Chendui tripped heavily and fell to the ground, and his face also came into close contact with the cold and wet mud man.

The moment he fell to the ground, Lin Chendui's whole body collapsed for a moment, and the whole person was on the verge of coma and consciousness, just wanting to lie here motionless, and his whole mind was blank.

I don't know how long it took, but a slight sound of footsteps came into his ears with the wind blowing, and at that moment, his whole body trembled as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream.

The crisis is not over!

Lin Chendui gritted his teeth, got up, and staggered towards the knee-high grass, one foot high and one foot low, and suddenly stepped on the air, which turned out to be the edge of a slope. How can Lin Chendu, who is tired and dying, still be able to keep his feet at this time? The whole person suddenly rolled straight down from the top of the slope like a leather ball, and I don't know how many plant branches were broken, dizzy, and fell apart. Eventually, he fell into the cold water and lost consciousness completely.

============================= divider =============================

The meeting room on the third floor of the municipal party committee building is filled with smoke, and around the oval conference table, a meeting of the standing committee of the municipal party committee is being held.

This is the Standing Committee convened urgently by Lu Qingdong, secretary of the municipal party committee, and there is only one topic, that is, the major events that have just happened in Dongping in the past few days, the pollution of the water quality of Phoenix Lake and the siege of Sun Paper by the angry people. Huang Yilin, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), and Xia Zhengan, executive deputy director of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, also attended the meeting as observers.

Perhaps because of the heavy agenda, the Standing Committee members present were very silent, and in the venue, in addition to the sound of drinking water, it was the sound of turning paper.

"That's the way it is, if you have any opinions, let's talk about it!" Lu Qingdong took a sip of water, and then after his eyes swept around everyone's faces, he put down the teacup and said slowly.

He enjoys the feeling of being in control, like flying a kite, no matter how high the kite flies, the string is always in his hand, he can put it when he wants, and he can collect it whenever he wants.

"Phoenix Lake is a business card of our Dongping, but also a pearl, and its importance is of course self-evident. However, the Environmental Protection Bureau has not yet come to a conclusion on how the lake water is polluted. I think it is still necessary to wait until the problem is clarified before we can prescribe the right medicine, and it is not advisable to do it blindly. Tao Ze, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, also said unhurriedly, and even his chubby face didn't seem to move at all.

"Wait? Can we wait, can the water of Phoenix Lake wait? Can ordinary people wait? Could it be that we really sat down to find a way until Phoenix Lake became a stinking sewage pool, and all the fish and shrimp in the lake died? Yang Weiguo pressed the fire road. He just couldn't get used to the unhurried and tepid appearance of the Standing Committee of the Dongping Municipal Party Committee. Of course, this may also be related to the character of Secretary Lu Qingdong.

"Then what should you do according to Mayor Yang?" Tao Ze didn't seem to mind, he just asked Yang Weiguo with a smile, but there was something different flashing in his cloudy eyes.

Yang Weiguo didn't look at Tao Ze's face that always looked like a smiling Maitreya Buddha, and said in a deep voice: "I think it's very simple, first, instruct the Environmental Protection Bureau to find out the cause of water pollution as soon as possible, and if there are not enough personnel and equipment, you can apply for assistance from the province; Second, all enterprises around Phoenix Lake will be temporarily shut down, and any industrial and domestic sewage will be prohibited from being discharged into Phoenix Lake until the investigation is completed. In the future, we will strive to relocate these enterprises out of Phoenix Lake within three to five years, so that there will be no households and enterprises within five kilometers around Phoenix Lake, so as to reduce the pollution of Phoenix Lake, and truly build Phoenix Lake into a characteristic scenic spot integrating tourism, vacation and aquaculture; Third, find ways to provide certain financial compensation and low-interest, or even interest-free loans for the farmers who were damaged this time, to help them resume production as soon as possible; Fourth, actively publicize and correctly guide to the outside world to establish consumers' confidence in our Phoenix Lake aquatic products......"

All the Standing Committee members looked at Yang Weiguo and carefully pondered every word he said. It can be seen that Yang Weiguo has worked how to solve the problem of Phoenix Lake, not only focusing on the present, but also taking into account all aspects of future planning and external publicity. However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Executive Vice Mayor Liu Yunqiang.

"Shut down all the businesses around Phoenix Lake?" Liu Yunqiang sneered: "Mayor Yang, this is too much of a fuss, right?" Could it be that the pollution of the water quality of Phoenix Lake must have something to do with them? Didn't Mayor Yang of Sun Paper take people to conduct a surprise inspection yesterday, and didn't he find any problems? As for relocation, Mayor Yang, do you know how many households and businesses there are within five kilometers of Phoenix Lake? Not to mention whether they are willing to move or not, even if they do, how much capital budget is needed? ”

Yang Weiguo suddenly fell silent, picked up the teacup and drank water, his eyes were a little heavy.

Speaking of this, Liu Yunqiang said with a sad face: "For the pollution of Phoenix Lake this time, I have a great responsibility as the executive deputy mayor......

"Now we don't discuss the issue of responsibility, but everyone brainstorms how to solve the problem." Lu Qingdong waved his hand, interrupted Liu Yunqiang's self-examination, and said: "Before Mayor Yang came, Mayor Yunqiang was responsible for the main work of the municipal government, so let's talk about it, how should I deal with it now?" ”

Everyone can see that Lu Qingdong and Liu Yunqiang are not only joining forces to suppress Yang Weiguo, but also blatantly grabbing power, it seems that they want to give this mayor of Xinzha a disadvantage. Mayor Yang, the second-in-command, seems to be difficult to be.

Liu Yunqiang smiled and said: "I think that many of Mayor Yang's opinions are still correct, but many problems still need to be distinguished. But for an enterprise like Sun Paper that has a high reputation and meets the pollutant discharge standards, then we still have to vigorously support it......"

Everyone didn't say anything, everyone knew that Sun Paper was brought by Zhang Lijiang, but it was better to say that Liu Yunqiang contributed to it. I heard that Liu Yunqiang has a very strong relationship with Mr. Ge of Sun Paper, so he naturally wants to support Sun Paper. However, to be able to say so pointedly at the Standing Committee shows the weakness of the mayor's authority.

Yang Weiguo continued to remain silent, but he was a little anxious in his heart. Lin Chenwan went to Sun Paper last night, but why hasn't he come back yet? The phone can't get through, so it can't be an accident, right?

"In addition......" Liu Yunqiang glanced at Yang Weiguo with some deep meaning, changed his words, and said indignantly: "Yesterday, some farmers illegally gathered and besieged Sun Paper because they mistakenly thought that Sun Paper had polluted Phoenix Lake, which had a huge impact on the normal production of the enterprise. In addition, violent resistance to the law, wounding police officers, and vandalizing police vehicles are serious crimes. Fortunately, Mayor Yang dealt with it in a timely manner yesterday, which did not cause greater losses. But I don't think Mayor Yang is thorough enough in handling things. Although this kind of behavior is pitiful, it is not legally tolerated. I think we should punish it severely, otherwise how will the credibility of our government be maintained in the long run? How is the majesty of law enforcement maintained? Who else will dare to come to our Dongping to invest and set up a factory in the future? ”

The conference room was silent for a while, and no one would have imagined that Liu Yunqiang would suddenly make such a statement.

When Yang Weiguo heard this, it didn't taste right, didn't he say how to solve the pollution of Phoenix Lake? Why did it suddenly come to the responsibility of the farmers? He just wanted to say something, but he heard Chu Jianguo, secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee, also say: "I agree with Mayor Liu's opinion. I can understand the psychology of the farmers who have suffered losses, but if they violently resist the law, even beat and detain police officers, and damage police cars, if they are not dealt with, the law will lose its original meaning, and it will not be fair to those police officers who stick to their posts. ”

The crowd immediately turned their heads to each other. If this kind of thing really has to be dealt with, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of turmoil.

Ji Qiuwei, head of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, frowned and said: "All reports on this aspect have been temporarily blocked. But I'm afraid that there will still be some people who will take the situation to the province. The Jihe Highway Bridge incident last time has already made us very passive, and this time there will be some sensitive issues, I'm afraid it will ......."

Liu Yunqiang's smile suddenly froze, and he looked at Ji Qiuwei, but saw that Ji Qiuwei's eyelids had drooped, and he lowered his head, unable to see what he was thinking.

Others also looked at Ji Qiuwei with some surprise, the Propaganda Department has always followed Secretary Lu's footsteps, but this time Secretary Lu hasn't expressed his position yet, why did Ji Qiuwei jump out and sing against Liu Yunqiang? Could it be that Liu Yunqiang's idea was not communicated with Secretary Lu in advance? Everyone turned their eyes back to Lu Qingdong's face.

I saw Lu Qingdong think for a moment, and then asked Yang Weiguo: "Mayor Yang, what do you think?" ”

Yang Weiguo said with a calm face: "The matter has not been investigated yet, but I have reason to believe that Sun Paper has an unshirkable responsibility in this pollution incident." I suggest that the relevant departments take the lead and organize technical personnel to conduct a comprehensive inspection of Sun Paper. ”

The Standing Committee members were in an uproar, and they all looked at Yang Weiguo. Of course, they understand what Yang Weiguo means, if Sun Paper really has a problem, then it is understandable that farmers are besieging Sun Paper, at best, it is not calm enough. However, this also forced himself to a dead end, once it is confirmed that there is no problem with Sun Paper, his prestige as the new mayor may be completely destroyed.

Lu Qingdong stared at Yang Weiguo for a while, probably because he didn't know where Yang Weiguo's confidence came from, but seeing that Yang Weiguo's face was still so plain, Lu Qingdong nodded slightly: "Just follow Mayor Yang's opinion, but if you can't find out the problem, you can do it according to Mayor Liu's opinion." ”
