143: Chapter 143 Damn it, he definitely did it on purpose.

However, he just felt it was a coincidence, and he had no intention of letting it go. No matter whose connections or background were involved, it had to be investigated strictly.

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Listen up, everyone! Carry out the operation according to the pre-arranged plan!"

Following the order, the uniformed staff of the Market Supervision Bureau immediately split up to take action, in groups of three to five, with quite a few teams in total.

Some went directly into the production workshop, some went to the warehouse, and others went to other parts of the factory area, such as near the back door.

The situation was shocking!

Near the back door of the factory area, a large number of oil drums were stored in the open, all filled with collected gutter oil, emitting a foul odor.

Inside the processing workshop, equipment was running, refining and processing the gutter oil.

Deng Jianwei's expression changed slightly.

He hadn't expected that even after revealing his background, Qin Chuan still wouldn't give him any face and would proceed directly with the operation.

"Director Qin, isn't this inappropriate? You'll offend people to death this way, and it won't do you any good at all."

Qin Chuan looked stern, "You are engaged in the processing and sale of gutter oil. I must see this through to the end; otherwise, I shouldn't be the director of this Market Supervision Bureau."

Deng Jianwei's face turned a bit ugly, "Director Qin, if you do this, Young Master Wen will be very angry, and the consequences will be very serious."

Qin Chuan said, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just reminding you," Deng Jianwei said. "Looking across Jianning City, who doesn't know that Young Master Wen cares most about face? If you do this, it will make Young Master Wen lose a lot of face. If he gets angry, I can't guarantee what he might do."

Qin Chuan snorted coldly, not wanting to waste any more words with him.

"Let's go, we'll go in and take a look too!"

After saying this, Qin Chuan strode forward, and the others followed. Deng Jianwei's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

Seeing Qin Chuan and the others enter the production workshop, knowing that everything could no longer be hidden, he took out his phone and called Young Master Yang Wenhao.

"Brother, something has happened!"

"What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

Deng Jianwei said, "Brother, Qin Chuan from the Market Supervision Bureau is leading the team himself and is currently inspecting my factory. I mentioned your name and clearly stated that you have shares in this factory, but he won't give any face at all..."

He recounted the story with added embellishments.

On the other end of the line, Young Master Yang Wenhao was clearly furious, "Good, very good. He is courting death. Let him investigate first, and see how I deal with him."

After hanging up the phone, Young Master Yang Wenhao's expression was ugly, and he thought angrily, "Qin Chuan, you must be doing this on purpose."

Not investigating this, not investigating that, but insisting on investigating Jianwei Chemical—it's obvious you are determined to go against me. It's been a long time since I've encountered someone like you courting death. Good, very good!

As for Qin Chuan, he led everyone into the processing workshop first.

The processing workshop was huge, visually estimated to be at least several thousand square meters, and the equipment looked relatively advanced, currently processing the gutter oil.

After processing, the gutter oil that flowed out looked little different from ordinary cooking oil.

But this was only on the surface; in fact, it contained a large amount of harmful substances and was very dangerous to human health.

"Director Qin, look, they added flavoring to it to pass it off as peanut oil."

Why pass it off as peanut oil? Because peanut oil is expensive and can be sold for a higher price.

There were quite a few peanut oil packages on-site, and they were even impersonating the peanut oil of a well-known domestic company. These people were far too bold.

They hadn't been looking at the production site for more than a few minutes when someone came to report.

"Director Qin, a merchant who came to pick up goods was caught red-handed by us. According to his confession, he was going to transport 100 tons of processed gutter oil this time."

"Director Qin, you should go to the warehouse and take a look. At least several hundred tons of fake peanut oil are stockpiled there, all made from gutter oil!"

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look."

Everyone went to the warehouse, with reporters from the provincial and municipal TV stations following and filming the whole process. Seeing the situation here, they were secretly shocked.

This is big news!

This should be the largest gutter oil case in the history of Handong Province!

They were busy for an hour or two, seizing what needed to be seized and sealing what needed to be sealed. By the time it got dark, everyone finally left.

Next, Jianwei Chemical would face severe punishment. In addition to fines and prison sentences for the relevant personnel, the enterprise would also be de-registered.

In that evening's Handong News, at least ten minutes were spent reporting this story. You have to know that the entire Handong News is only thirty minutes long, so spending nearly ten minutes on it was quite rare.

Following the broadcast on provincial and municipal TV stations, as well as reports in the Handong Daily and Jianning Daily the next morning, it caused a huge stir among the public.

After all, gutter oil is deeply loathed by the common people and is closely related to everyone's daily life.

"Jianning City did a great job!"

"I heard it was the newly appointed director of the Market Supervision Bureau who led the investigation himself. This new director is truly amazing!"

"It's too terrifying. To think there is such a large gutter oil processing factory! How much gutter oil has flowed onto our dinner tables!"

"..."

The public was heatedly discussing the matter, while Qin Chuan was already holding a director's meeting, focusing on the punishment for Jianwei Chemical.

Qin Chuan said, "For such an unscrupulous enterprise, my suggestion is to fine them until they go bankrupt, hold the relevant personnel criminally responsible, and furthermore, de-register this enterprise so it cannot continue to exist."

Is the punishment that severe?

Several deputy directors looked at each other. Such strict punishment hadn't happened in years; usually, it was just a small fine and then it was over.

One deputy director reminded him, "Director Qin, according to my investigation, Young Master Yang Wenhao does indeed have shares in Jianwei Chemical. Shouldn't we seek Mayor Yang's opinion on this matter first?"

Another deputy director immediately added, "Yes, since the matter is so big, let's make a special report to Mayor Yang first."

It was clear that they were all a little afraid.

Qin Chuan, however, was not afraid at all. But since everyone said so, he respected their opinion and nodded, saying:

"Fine, then I will go to make a special report to Mayor Yang first. However, I think Mayor Yang will support my proposal for punishment."

One deputy director thought to himself, "I don't believe you. How could Mayor Yang support this? It'll be a miracle if he doesn't get angry and berate you."

Qin Chuan seemed to see what the deputy director was thinking, but he just smiled and said nothing.

No one knew that, regarding this matter, shortly before, the Provincial Party Secretary had given instructions to punish them severely and quickly, and also required Jianning City to make a special report to the Provincial Party Committee regarding the punishment decision.

Qin Chuan, of course, knew immediately. Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong had called personally and even praised Qin Chuan, saying that this matter was handled beautifully.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before the Provincial Party Secretary's personal instructions would reach Jianning City and the Market Supervision Bureau.

It's just that everyone didn't know it yet.
