Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

The middle-aged man glanced at Meng Xiangteng, who was wearing a police uniform, with his deep eyes. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.

However, he had no intention of paying any attention to this young man. Although he was in his forties, he had experienced the ups and downs of life that ordinary people had not experienced. No matter how big the matter was, it could not stir up any waves in his heart.

In this spacious and slightly deserted hall, two people sat face to face, with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses on the table.

They silently picked up their wine glasses and drank one after another, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.

Time passed minute by minute, and the hands slowly pointed to nine o'clock. At this time, the other guests in the hall had already left one after another. The whole space seemed exceptionally empty, with only these two silent figures left.

Finally, Meng Xiangteng broke the silence. He raised his glass and said to the middle-aged man opposite him, "Director Zhang, a toast to you."

Although the sound was not loud, it was clearly heard by the other person.

The middle-aged man called Director Zhang raised his head in surprise and his eyes fell on the young man in front of him.

When he heard the young man call himself Director Zhang, his heart couldn't help but move. It was obvious that this young man must have a purpose in coming to him today.

He frowned slightly and asked in a cold tone, "Officer, what do you want from me?"

Meng Xiangteng put down his wine glass, looked at the serious-looking middle-aged man in front of him, and said slowly, "Director Zhang is indeed a straightforward person. However, when I see Director Zhang like this now, I feel extremely sad!"

Hearing this, Director Zhang frowned even more. He stared at Meng Xiangteng and said in a deep voice, "This is my personal matter. No need to say more. If you have anything to say, please speak directly."

This middle-aged man is Zhang Tiansheng, deputy director of the Bengang City Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Once upon a time, he was well-known in the officialdom of Bengang City, and made countless corrupt officials tremble in fear.

He is impartial and handles cases impartially, and has always been a symbol of justice in the eyes of the public.

Originally, with his ability and prestige, he was the popular choice to take over the position of director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and was the undisputed best candidate.

But after Sun Yiguo came, Zhang Tiansheng was suppressed by Sun Yiguo because he was unwilling to show mercy in a corruption case. Now he basically spends his days eating and waiting to die in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and does nothing else.

Ever since Zhang Tiansheng lost power, it seemed as if the whole world had closed its doors to him.

However, what made him even more heartbroken was that a sudden car accident ruthlessly took the lives of his beloved wife and children.

Although he always had doubts in his heart and firmly believed that the car accident was not accidental, whenever he tried to investigate in depth, he was always met with perfunctory and evasive responses from the public security department.

Today's Zhang Tiansheng is no longer the powerful and awe-inspiring deputy director.

Without the protection of power, who would really take him seriously?

Faced with this cruel reality, Zhang Tiansheng could only helplessly smile bitterly: "Haha, what you said is just some old things. Nowadays, I'm just an old man waiting for retirement, muddling through my days!"

Meng Xiangteng's words were like a key that opened the door deep in Zhang Tiansheng's memory and brought back endless memories.

Once upon a time, he was a highly regarded "star" prosecutor in Bengang City! Back then, he upheld the principles of fairness and integrity, was upright and impartial, and was dedicated solely to upholding the dignity of the law and social fairness and justice.

But since Sun Yiguo came here, everything has become completely different.

Prosecutors like Zhang Tiansheng who stick to the right path not only fail to receive the respect and rewards they deserve, but are suppressed and excluded everywhere; while those who are good at flattery and fawning are able to rise to the top.
