Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

In the officialdom, the culture of mutual protection among officials is prevalent, and corruption is common. They unscrupulously amass wealth without any regard for the lives of the people.

"Director Zhang, my name is Meng Xiangteng. I came here at the request of Secretary Wentao of the Municipal Party Committee. I ask you to come out and take charge of the overall situation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!" Meng Xiangteng said solemnly.

However, in response to Meng Xiangteng's request, Zhang Tiansheng smiled self-deprecatingly and said slowly, "Me? To preside over the Anti-Corruption Bureau? How can I be qualified to take on such an important task?"

After he finished speaking, he shook his head slightly, as if he was full of doubt and denial about himself.

Then he picked up the wine glass in his hand, tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine.

Seeing this, Meng Xiangteng didn't give up persuading him. Instead, he continued to speak earnestly, "Director Zhang, look at the corrupt and toxic atmosphere in Bengang City's officialdom today. Think back to your wife and children who tragically died in the car accident. Don't you feel any pain in your heart? How can you sleep peacefully at night in this situation?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tiansheng suddenly raised his downcast gaze, gazing at Meng Xiangteng with a deep, slightly sad expression. After a moment's silence, he finally spoke slowly, "What does it matter whether I can sleep or not? Although I'm a prosecutor and also the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, I'm powerless in the face of such a complex situation! Even if I were to become director, what would I be able to change? Those corrupt individuals have complex and entrenched networks, deep-rooted connections, and powerful forces backing them. How can I, alone, stand up to them?"

After saying that, he sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness and bitterness.

"The current Bengang is no longer what it used to be! Secretary Wentao is here now. Secretary Wen is very capable and has an unwavering determination to completely reverse the bad atmosphere that has long been formed in the Bengang bureaucracy!" Meng Xiangteng became more and more excited as he spoke, waving his hands in the air, as if he wanted to release all his admiration for Secretary Wentao.

Hearing Meng Xiangteng's enthusiastic praise of Wentao, Zhang Tiansheng, who was sitting next to him, simply let out a slightly mocking "Haha." This "Haha" sounded both self-deprecating and seemingly tinged with disdain and ridicule towards Wentao and Meng Xiangteng.

"Humph! I never thought you, Zhang Tiansheng, would be such a useless loser! If your wife and son knew what you're like now, they'd probably burst out laughing! Also, I have some important news for you. We've successfully found the driver who caused the car accident that year..."

To successfully complete the arduous task entrusted to him by Secretary Wentao, Meng Xiangteng racked his brains and put in a great deal of effort. The serious car accident that occurred just over a year ago was not without flaws, but someone had been deliberately covering up those loopholes in an attempt to keep the truth hidden forever!

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tiansheng's face instantly showed astonishment, his body leaned forward involuntarily, and he stared at Meng Xiangteng with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

......

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the clouds onto the streets of Pingshan District. Shocking news broke from the Pingshan District Public Security Bureau and spread throughout the Bengang City system.

It is reported that at three o'clock in the morning last night, patrol officers from Pingshan Branch were still at their posts. During their patrol mission, they caught a thief who had just completed the theft on the spot.

After a careful search, the police actually found more than 300,000 yuan in stolen money and more than ten heavy gold bars on the "thief"!
