Chapter 2839 Traffic Evacuation

“But your arrangement makes sense too. The roads must be cleared. The entire city’s traffic is paralyzed right now. We must restore traffic as soon as possible, no matter what. This is a political task,” Qin Feng said after taking a drag of his cigarette.

“But…we need to restore traffic flow, yet we can’t have physical contact with these troublemakers. What…what should we do?” Chen Guohua asked.

"Old Feng definitely has a way to solve this, right?" Qin Feng said with a smile, looking at Feng Changjun.

Feng Changjun was taken aback. He felt the pressure from Qin Feng. He smoked a cigarette and thought for a moment, then said, "Mayor, I have a few ideas. Do you think they are feasible?"

"You say." Qin Feng nodded.

Having served as vice mayor and director of the Public Security Bureau for so many years, Feng Changjun has extensive experience in handling similar matters, and Qin Feng believes that Feng Changjun certainly has the ability to resolve this issue.

"First, we need to ease traffic congestion by deploying all traffic police officers to guide vehicles to take detours. This is the top priority. Even if we can't solve the congestion, we must ensure that the traffic in the whole city is moving. Even if it's a little slower, it's better than being completely blocked."

Qin Feng nodded: "This is very necessary and should be implemented immediately, but it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Secondly, we have special police officers wearing riot gear separate and disperse the rioting crowd. This ensures that our officers only have indirect physical contact with them. As long as we separate the crowd and prevent them from forming a unified group, the subsequent work will be easier to carry out, and the roads can be reopened," Feng Changjun continued.

“This is a good idea, but Mayor Changjun, I don’t think it can prevent the other party from staging an accident. After all, the police will still have to make contact with him, and as long as they make contact, they will fall into their trap,” Chen Guohua said.

"Yes, but there's nothing we can do about it now. Once traffic is restored, we'll have to use police force to enforce it. Otherwise, they won't leave on their own. And we can't let the traffic jam last too long; every extra minute adds to the danger."

“I think we could equip each of our personnel involved in the operation with a high-definition body camera, have someone filming and recording from the side, and have a drone filming overhead as well. If the other party really tries to frame us, we will have evidence to refute them, and we won’t be too passive in the end.”

After Feng Changjun finished speaking, Qin Feng nodded. He had indeed been right about Feng Changjun.

"Old Feng is right, and this is a good method. It is the best method at present. We must ensure two things: First, our people cannot lay a hand on us. Even if the other side hits us, we cannot fight back. We must endure this grievance."

"Second, we must ensure that we preserve authentic video footage. As long as we retain the original evidence, no matter what tricks they try, they can't turn the tide."

"Also, let me give you some advice: as long as you ensure these two points, don't worry too much about the rest. Go ahead and do it boldly. The traffic must be cleared as soon as possible."

"Old Feng, you need to personally oversee and command this matter, and take control of the overall situation," Qin Feng said to Feng Changjun.

“Okay, I’ll go make the arrangements now.” Feng Changjun stood up.

"There's no rush yet."

Hearing Qin Feng say that, Feng Changjun sat down again.

“Since Jiang Yunpeng has already gone there, he will definitely say that we should try to clear the traffic first, so there’s no rush. Let him go over there first to understand the situation before you make arrangements,” Qin Feng said with a smile.

“Yes, the mayor is right. We must not rush things, especially at times like these. We need to stay calm, otherwise we will run into problems,” Feng Changjun agreed.

"What happened today was just the prelude to their plan. The climax is yet to come. Their real trump card is to bring this group of people to cause trouble at the provincial party committee and government. They staged this scene today to expand their influence and force us to take action so they can create a false impression and start public opinion campaign. In fact, it's all to pave the way for causing trouble in the province later."

"So solving today's problem doesn't truly solve the problem; the real challenge lies ahead."

"To win this battle, we must solve several problems. First, we must solve the problem of project shutdowns."

"Second, solve the problem of migrant workers."

"Third, control public opinion."

"Fourth, we must not let these people cause trouble in the provincial capital; they must be kept within the territory of Shazhou City..."

Qin Feng was chatting with Feng Changjun when his personal cell phone, which was on the table, rang.

Qin Feng glanced at Zhang Xinming, who quickly ran over to get his phone.

Zhang Xinming paused for a moment after taking the phone.

"Who?" Qin Feng asked. This was his personal phone, not his work phone.

Normally, if Qin Feng asked Zhang Xinming this, he would definitely answer who it was. But this time, he didn't answer. Instead, he took his phone, walked to Qin Feng's side, and showed the phone screen to Qin Feng, making sure that Chen Guohua and Feng Changjun couldn't see it.

Qin Feng was taken aback when he saw Yang Yuxin and the other two on his phone. He didn't answer the phone but said to Zhang Xinming, "Tell her I'm busy right now and will call her back later."

Zhang Xinming nodded, but instead of answering the phone inside the house, he took his phone and went to his office to take the call.

In Zhang Xinming's subconscious, Yang Yuxin was Qin Feng's mistress, a relationship that had to be kept secret.

"Old Feng, let Jiang Yunpeng handle the specifics. You must keep a good grasp of the situation and coordinate the overall picture. At the same time, you must withstand the pressure for Jiang Yunpeng and his team, especially in cooperating with Mayor Yuanwei to forcibly remove these projects and ensure the smooth entry of new construction units."

"At the same time, we need to start arresting people. Arrest all those who instigated and organized the migrant workers to riot. This will definitely encounter pressure and resistance from all sides, and you must personally oversee the operation." Qin Feng said to Feng Changjun at the end. He put his words very bluntly, which was the purpose of having Feng Changjun take command.

Feng Changjun nodded. He knew this was a test from Qin Feng, but also his opportunity.

"Please rest assured, Mayor, I guarantee the mission will be completed." Feng Changjun nodded and then walked out.

After Feng Changjun left, Qin Feng looked at Chen Guohua: "There shouldn't be any major problems with the assessment, right?"

"Things over there have been arranged."

"Alright, then you go to Mayor Yuanwei's side and cooperate with his work. The most important thing is to ensure that Xiao Jian'an's people can enter the venue smoothly. Before you go, go see Xiao Jian'an first and tell him to go ahead and do it boldly without any worries. No matter what happens, I will back him up," Qin Feng said to Chen Guohua.

Chen Guohua nodded: "I'll go now."

"Tell Mayor Yuanwei to forcibly clear the site without any leniency. Anyone who resists should be arrested by the Public Security Bureau first. It is imperative to ensure that Xiao Jian'an's team can enter the site. Then, contact the original construction teams to hold a meeting, re-sign the contract, and advance the wages owed to the migrant workers from the previous project. The migrant workers should be required to return to work tomorrow."

"Anyone who continues to cause trouble will not have their back wages paid and will not be allowed to return to work."

"We must do a good job of persuading the migrant workers to return home and stabilize their situation..."
