Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 117 Too Late to Regret! Zhong Zhengguo Has a Bad Feeling!



Chapter 117 Too Late to Regret! Zhong Zhengguo Has a Bad Feeling!

early morning.

A chilling sensation came over me.

Chen Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking up, she was surprised to see Zhao Ruilong applying medicine to her ankle.

His earnest and meticulous manner warmed one's heart.

"I thought he was only rough and wild, with no tenderness towards women, but I never expected him to have such a gentle side!"

"And that handsome appearance, that bronze physique, it's truly captivating!"

Thinking of this, Chen Yang couldn't help but blush.

I can't help but recall the day we spent together.

Although there's no emotion involved, it's all technique!

But it also made me feel an unprecedented happiness.

"The swelling has gone down significantly, and it should be almost completely healed in another two days."

Zhao Ruilong threw away the cotton swab and tightened the screwdriver on the medicine bottle.

"I have to go back to the company. If you don't have anything else to do, you can continue sleeping!"

"If you're hungry, just call the front desk and order whatever you want!"

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong quickly put on his clothes.

"I want to leave too!"

Chen Yang slowly sat up.

"Director Shen and his team arrived yesterday, and I must go back today."

"Such a big thing happened at the bureau. Even if I really twisted my ankle, I still have to show up."

After saying that, Chen Yang tried to find his clothes.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ruilong immediately offered his assistance.

Watching Zhao Ruilong gently and meticulously help her put on her clothes and pants.

Chen Yang couldn't help but tease:

"Didn't you say you'd make me regret it for the rest of my life?"

"Why did you let me go last night and let me get a good night's sleep?"

Zhao Ruilong smiled coldly and lifted Chen Yang's chin.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet. Do you want to bleed heavily, or even get an infection?"

"If I ruin you in one go, how can I make you regret it for the rest of your life?"

Chen Yang chuckled softly.

He stared at Zhao Ruilong with burning eyes.

"You're still pretending, right?"

"Actually, I've always felt that you're not a bad person."

“Deep down you still respect me; you’re not completely without principles.”

Zhao Ruilong chuckled.

"Of course there must be a bottom line."

"We can have fun and joke around, but it's not good if someone gets killed."

"Otherwise, if you suffocate or choke to death, wouldn't my life be over too?"

"you!!"

Chen Yang glared at Zhao Ruilong with resentment and anger.

I've never felt so frustrated and miserable in my life.

I am a top student who graduated from a prestigious university.

She is also a strong woman who is about to be promoted to Section Chief Chen.

She's not some movie lead actress.

"What do you mean, 'me'? Be careful not to piss me off and make you cry again!"

"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you? Oh, you... I was wrong, brother, I..."

……

after an hour.

The taxi arrived at the Golden Tax Hotel.

Chen Yang got out of the car, leaning on a clothes pole, and slowly walked towards the lobby.

This clothes pole was provided by the hotel at Zhao Ruilong's request, intended as a crutch for Chen Yang.

"You scumbag!"

"At least buy me a walking stick!"

"You're trying to fool me with a clothes pole!"

Chen Yang grumbled and moved forward.

Before I even reached the top of the stairs, I saw Xiao Liao rushing down.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoyang, I got a call and I'm late."

Xiao Liao quickly stepped forward to help Chen Yang up.

Chen Yang noticed that there was a little white on Xiao Liao's lips.

"What did you have for breakfast? Soy milk? There's a little white residue on the corners of your lips, like you didn't apply moisturizer evenly!"

"Oh, it must be the cream filling inside the cream puff!"

Xiao Liao immediately wiped his mouth.

"Brother Wang and the others said the hotel's buffet breakfast wasn't very good, so they went and bought some cakes."

"They bought me a few cream puffs. They looked like hard bread, but they were filled with a lot of cream."

"One bite and your mouth is filled with creamy goodness. It's so smooth, creamy, and delicious. Do you want one later?"

wow~

Chen Yang immediately felt nauseous and vomited.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention cream puffs to me, and don't mention cream either!!"

Chen Yang leaned on Xiao Liao's shoulder and took a few deep breaths.

After calming myself down, I slowly walked upstairs to the conference room.

Along the way, in order to distract himself, Chen Yang asked Xiao Liao about the case.

……

at the same time.

Zhong Zhengguo, far away in Yanjing, was reading through a shocking report.

Although he knew yesterday morning that Fan Jian had gotten into trouble.

But he didn't know how serious the situation was.

Now I see the report that Elder Ge went to great lengths to obtain.

I'm so regretful!

I shouldn't have listened to Secretary Chen's recommendation and mistakenly trusted Fan Jian.

This is terrible.

The true identities of Huilong Group's overseas investors could not be investigated further.

Fan Jian, that spineless coward, got himself arrested for soliciting prostitution and even confessed to countless other people's crimes.

Due to the nature of his work, he works at the State Administration of Foreign Exchange year-round.

Therefore, Fan Jian's confession implicated a large number of personnel from auditing, customs, trade, and banking sectors.

Many companies engaged in foreign trade have also been implicated because they had bribed him in order to gain advantages.

and so……

After reading the report, Zhong Zhengguo was completely stunned, his head buzzing.

"So what if you were caught soliciting prostitution? Why aren't you cooperating?"

"Why did you spit at the police officer? And why did you try to bribe him with a large sum of money?"

"Even if I'm detained for twenty days and fined several thousand yuan, what's the big deal?"

"Even if you're expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office, and can never have a secure job again, you've made so much money, you'll have enough to live on for the rest of your life. What nonsense are you spouting?"

"He actually implicated so many people, and the amount involved is roughly estimated to be over 10 billion. Doesn't this bastard realize that while he's redeeming himself, others are in deep trouble!"

Zhong Zhengguo was both angry and annoyed.

Now I finally understand it firsthand.

Never underestimate a seemingly insignificant person!

One bad apple can really spoil the whole bunch!

Even a tiny spark can ignite an entire ammunition depot!

Jingle bell~

The red landline suddenly rang, startling Zhong Zhengguo.

Instinctively, I picked up the folder and covered the interrogation report.

He glanced at the incoming call number and quickly got up to pick up the red receiver.

"Hello, Lu Shuji, I am Zhong Zhengguo."

"Come to my office right now."

The call ended as soon as he finished speaking.

Zhong Zhengguo's heart skipped a beat.

Such a decisive tone is clearly not a good thing!

Has it really gotten to me so quickly?

Even if Secretary Chen is summoned for questioning, he will say that Fan Jian was acting on his instructions.

But I didn't do anything wrong!

I learned that Huilong Group is continuously investing in Handong, and the amount of funds involved is quite large.

There are concerns that a large number of investment projects may involve the transfer of benefits, corruption, and bribery.

Therefore, I instructed my subordinates to keep an eye on Huilong Group...

He served as the third deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission.

Don't they even have this much power?

Zhong Zhengguo put down the receiver.

He figured that Lu Shuji was probably not looking for him because of the Handong matter.

"Where else is going on lately? Could it be in Linjiang Province? But wasn't everything over in Linjiang already?"

"All the bids for Dafeng Factory have been overturned and resubmitted. Cai Chenggong has been detained, fined, and blacklisted. Director Zhou has been completely dismissed..."

Anxious and uneasy, Zhong Zhengguo hid the report and quickly went to Lu Shengye's office.

Before the First Book of History, his imposing manner was instantly diminished by more than half.

Sitting upright across from the desk, I didn't dare to even breathe loudly.

And what about Lu Shengye?

It was as if they didn't know Zhong Zhengguo was there.

After carefully reading the document in his hand, he picked up a pen and signed it.

He closed the folder, handed it to his secretary, and picked up his teacup.

The secretary tactfully left quickly and closed the door.

"Regarding the case with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, I plan to have the First Inspection Office cooperate with the Handong Anti-Corruption Bureau in handling it. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Zhengguo was immediately surprised.

How could a department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision cooperate with the anti-corruption bureau of Handong in handling a case?

Is this how it's done?

This means it's not just a simple matter of handling cases in different locations.

Moreover, the initiative has essentially been handed over to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate of Handong.

Zhong Zhengguo quickly said, "Fan Jian's case involves a wide range of people, mostly concentrated in Yanjing. Would it be inconvenient to have the Supreme People's Procuratorate of Handong investigate?"

"This isn't a matter of convenience; the problem is that Fan Jian was arrested in Handong, and the relevant departments in Handong handled the case without any issues. We were just sending people to cooperate with the operation."

Lu Shengye has already said that.

How could Zhong Zhengguo dare to disobey?

"Okay, I agree."

"With the First Supervisory Office cooperating with the operation, the Handong Anti-Corruption Bureau will be able to operate more conveniently and calmly!"

Lu Shengye took a sip of tea and then put down the teacup.

"Jingzhou Dafeng Garment Group has won bids in Linjiang Province one after another. Although the case has been investigated and the relevant personnel have been dealt with according to law."

"But this incident has fully exposed the unhealthy social atmosphere and weak legal awareness in Linjiang Province. I would like to appoint you to go there and organize an education and rectification campaign."

"I hope that your trip to Linjiang will be thorough, comprehensive, and effective, leaving no blind spots, ensuring the implementation of education and rectification responsibilities, completely eliminating bad elements, and reversing the unhealthy trends in Linjiang!"

Zhong Zhengguo felt a chill run down his spine.

Are you asking me to lead a team to Linjiang to rectify the situation?

Who are they cracking down on?

Was it Sha Ruijin who secretly helped Dafeng Factory win bids repeatedly?

Isn't this asking me to pick up a knife and attack my own people?

If we want to protect Sha Ruijin, we have no choice but to target others.

"Linjiang is a major coastal economic province, and it is home to a large number of reformists."

"In pursuit of high-quality economic development, they are willing to use any means necessary."

"Let alone eliminating the bad apples, wielding the anti-corruption sword, killing a few tigers wouldn't be a problem."

"But the problem is... if I do this job, I don't know how many people I'll offend!"

"Besides, once I leave Yanjing, it will be difficult for me to get involved in the mess that Fan Jian caused."

"At such a crucial juncture, Lu Shuji's decision to send me to the grassroots level to rectify education is probably for this very purpose!"

Zhong Zhengguo felt a sudden pang of bitterness in his heart.

She keenly sensed that she had lost Lu Shengye's trust.

Without trust, there's no way to make any progress in the future.

Moreover, the Dafeng Factory incident in Linjiang Province has indeed stirred up a sense of unhealthy practices.

It was perfectly reasonable for Lu Shengye to assign him to go down and make some changes; there was nothing wrong with it.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Shengye suddenly spoke up and asked.

"Uh...no, no."

Zhong Zhengguo forced a smile and stood up.

"If there's nothing else, lead the team and head to Linjiang as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Lu Shuji, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Zhong Zhengguo got up and left.

The feeling of weakness in the lower back and knees is extremely uncomfortable.

"and many more!"

Lu Shengye's shout nearly scared Zhong Zhengguo out of his wits.

Do you have any further instructions?

Zhong Zhengguo turned around, his smile more painful than a grimace.

"This is the first time you have led a team to supervise education in a local area since you were transferred to the General Administration of Discipline Inspection."

"I hope you can win the first battle and make Linjiang a clean land for development once again!"

Upon hearing Lu Shengye's words...

Zhong Zhengguo knew that catching a few small fish and shrimp wouldn't be enough.

"Understood, I will definitely crack down on this and show no leniency!"

When Zhong Zhengguo returned to his office, he slumped into his chair, feeling utterly dejected.

He wished he could fly to Handong and give Fan Jian a good beating.

But no matter how resentful you are, what's the use now?

Picking up the blue landline phone, Zhong Zhengguo quickly arranged the work.

I took out my phone, intending to call my daughter, but to my surprise, she called first.

"Dad, how can you let the Handong Anti-Corruption Bureau handle Fan Jian's case?"

"Chen Hai is now a member of the Zhao family. If we let him investigate Fan Jian, we might get implicated!"
