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

Linjiang Province, Bobei City.

After dinner, An Changlin escorted Sha Ruijin and his party to the elevator.

"Sha Shuji, you've been to several places in Bobei today to conduct research and provide guidance. You must be very tired. I won't go upstairs to disturb your rest. I'll come pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!"

Sha Ruijin grasped An Changlin's hand and said warmly:

"You must be exhausted after accompanying me to so many places. You should go home and rest early!"

Sha Ruijin particularly admired An Changlin, a former soldier with a strong sense of integrity.

On the one hand, it was because Sha Ruijin was a descendant of a war hero and was raised by Chen Yanshi and several others, so he had a natural affinity for soldiers.

On the other hand, it is also because he is now the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Linjiang Province, and if he wants to make a difference, he needs upright and capable people under his command.

Sha Ruijin has been working in Linjiang Province for quite some time now.

Having worked in the political and legal system for many years, I naturally have a thorough understanding of the situation throughout the province.

He not only knew that An Changlin had been the deputy director of the Jinghai Public Security Bureau.

He also learned that three years ago, after the 206 case involving the death of Huang Cuicui, a hostess of Bai Jinhan, An Changlin was transferred from Jinghai to Bobei to serve as the director of the Public Security Bureau.

The seemingly perfect case of Case 206 still has many unanswered questions, especially the disappearance of Huang Cuicui's recording pen and who Xu Jiang's backer really is.

Many people witnessed Zhao Lidong, then a clerk in the political and legal affairs department of Jinghai, boarding Xu Jiang's yacht. However, he claimed that he was only discussing work and had not violated any laws or regulations.

Back then, his brother-in-law Ge Junshan and Zhong Zhengguo failed to support Liang Qunfeng to become the top leader of Handong, and instead Zhao Lichun successfully took office. Afterwards, when Zhong Zhengguo came to Linjiang Province for supervision, he turned the conflict towards Zhao Lidong.

I thought that if I couldn't bring down Zhao Lichun, taking down his second brother Zhao Lidong would be a piece of cake.

The results of it?

After a series of in-depth investigations and various inquiries, Sha Ruijin spoke with An Changlin and Meng Dehai individually more than once, and even met An Xin, the criminal police officer who had gone undercover and infiltrated the Xujiang yacht.

Everyone believes that Zhao Lidong was once Xu Jiang's backer!

Unfortunately, Xu Jiang was shot and killed by Cao Chuang, and Cao Chuang, the captain of the criminal investigation team at the time, was also shot and killed on the spot.

With Xu Jiang's death, whether he colluded with Zhao Lidong or whether the two had any dealings for profit has become impossible to prove!

In addition, Zhong Zhengguo, for some unknown reason, suddenly became greedy and colluded with Cai Chenggong of Jingzhou Dafeng Factory. He used his position to supervise the investigation in Linjiang Province to amass wealth and was caught red-handed by Lu Shengye, the director of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Ever since.

With Zhong Zhengguo already in jail, the investigation into Zhao Lidong could only come to an end.

In addition, Zhao Ruilong's Huilong Group not only invested heavily in Jinghai and vigorously developed the wind power industry in the new energy sector, but also took over the mess left by Linjiang Xinyi Group and successfully completed several key projects.

Under Zhao Ruilong's strong promotion, not only Jinghai City, but the entire Linjiang Province experienced rapid economic development. As a result, his second uncle, Zhao Lidong, also rose rapidly, becoming the mayor of Jinghai City.

This way.

Zhao Lidong, who is single-mindedly devoted to his work and has achieved remarkable results, is even more difficult to bring down.

His elder brother, Zhao Lichun, in particular, rose rapidly through the ranks, entering the Secretariat and becoming the Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Department, thus becoming Sha Ruijin's superior.

Meanwhile, Ge Junshan, Sha Ruijin's brother-in-law, whom he used to rely on, suffered setbacks. After a serious illness last year, he did not choose to fight to the end, but instead retired gracefully.

Sha Ruijin was dumbfounded.

You, Ge Junshan, landed safely, and even gave Zhao Lichun a push before retirement. What about me, Sha Ruijin?

In the past, I helped you fight on the front lines and caused a lot of trouble for the Zhao family. I almost framed Zhao Lidong and sent him to jail.

Now that Zhao Lichun has become my superior, Sha Ruijin, and Zhao Lidong is rising rapidly, what do you expect me to do?

In this situation.

Having been in the system for a while, Sha Ruijin certainly knew that 'if you don't advance, you fall behind'.

If you can't find ways to create conditions for progress, you'll definitely not have a good ending.

Even after the big shots have fought tooth and nail, they can still shake hands and make peace, as if nothing ever happened.

But what right do these lowly underlings and cannon fodder, who have little value, have to 'shake hands and make peace'?

Unless they can find a way to increase their own value.

Now, isn't this the opportunity?

Zhao Ruilong's loyal henchmen, the Gao brothers, were reported by Li Youtian and others in Mang Village for not only intentionally injuring people but also being involved in organized crime.

In his efforts to bring down Zhao Lidong, Sha Ruijin had kept a close eye on Jinghai City.

He knew all along that after Xu Jiang and Bai Jiangbo died, Gao Qiqiang, who had become Chen Tai's godfather and married Chen Shuting, had quickly grown into the new underground boss of Jinghai.

In addition, his younger brother Gao Qisheng, who started by selling mobile phones, got on Zhao Ruilong's good side. The two brothers were bold and daring, and their development momentum was quite rapid.

Just then, Zhao Ruilong's father, Zhao Lichun, launched a special campaign to crack down on organized crime.

Then, whether or not to classify the Gao Qiqiang brothers as involved in organized crime would give one a voice.

After all, the things they did could be described in a grand way or in a less grand way.

If things are handled properly and someone is willing to take the blame, they can both get away scot-free.

This way.

Should we save my little brother?

This became a difficult problem for Zhao Ruilong.

Considering the close cooperative relationship between Qiangsheng Group and Huilong Group.

Huilong Group has participated in the construction of many major projects invested in by Huilong Group in Linjiang Province.

How could Zhao Ruilong easily abandon the Gao brothers?

Since you can't bear to give it up, you must talk to yourself.

If you want others to be lenient with you, how can you not help yourself improve?

It was precisely because they intended to use the Gao brothers as bargaining chips in a deal with Zhao Ruilong.

That's why Sha Ruijin made a special arrangement to visit Bobei City for research today.

Because he knew that although An Changlin had been transferred away from Jinghai, he always cared about the social order in Jinghai and frequently corresponded with An Xin to learn about the crimes committed by Gao Qiqiang and his gang.

If a deal cannot be reached, he will need An Changlin, An Xin, and others to eliminate the Gao Qiqiang brothers; otherwise, he will have to find a way to keep them under control and prevent them from ruining his important plans.

But no matter what the outcome, I have to come here to improve my relationship with An Changlin and try to get some information out of him to see how much he really knows about the Gao Qiqiang brothers.

An Changlin was naturally unaware of Sha Ruijin's scheme.

He was quite touched by Sha Ruijin's kindness.

I feel like I've finally met my mentor!

With such a considerate leader, how can one not accomplish great things?

Isn't it just around the corner to transfer people from the poor and backward Bobei City back to the economically prosperous Jinghai and eradicate evil?

"Okay, Secretary Sha, then you can go upstairs and rest. See you tomorrow!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Sha Ruijin patted An Changlin's hand, then let go and stepped into the elevator.

Just before the elevator doors closed, he smiled and waved, signaling An Changlin to hurry home.

However, An Changlin waited until the elevator doors closed before stepping out.

He hadn't walked more than a few steps when he stopped and took out his constantly vibrating and ringing phone.

Upon seeing that it was An Xin calling, An Changlin immediately waved to signal the others to leave first.

"It's me. Is there anything new?"

"Yes, Gao Qiqiang actually brought a bunch of his henchmen and turned himself in to the Xiawan District Branch of the Jinghai Police Station!"

"what?"

An Changlin exclaimed in alarm, his face paling with shock.

After glancing around instinctively, he strode towards the stairwell.

"What did you just say? Gao Qiqiang took his henchmen to turn himself in? Has he...has he gone mad?"

An Changlin's first reaction was that Gao Qiqiang had gone mad, rather than having a change of heart.

Qiangsheng Group is booming, and its shady businesses are making a fortune every day.

Under such circumstances, why would Gao Qiqiang bring people to turn himself in?

Moreover, Gao Qiqiang came from a poor family and his parents died early.

A man worked tirelessly selling fish at the old factory street market, raising his younger brother and sister with great difficulty.

After being poor for so many years, he finally turned his life around and enjoyed a comfortable life for just over three years. How could he bear to turn himself in?

An Xin sighed over the phone.

"Uncle An, I don't know if Gao Qiqiang has gone mad, but anyway, they've already arrived at the Xiawan branch, and several key members like Tang Xiaohu, Bald Yong, and Zhong Asi are there!"

"My goodness!"

An Changlin scratched his head violently.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single strand of hair on his smooth head.

This sudden situation was completely unexpected for him.

It felt like my mind had been instantly emptied of air.

"Well, I'll talk to you later, Li Xiang and I are on our way!"

"Okay, go and find out what's going on, then call me back. I really want to know why they suddenly decided to turn themselves in!"

"Good good!"

The call was disconnected, and An Changlin's head was buzzing.

"It's weird!"

"Has Gao Qiqiang taken the wrong medicine, or has he gotten his head stuck in a door?"

"Why would he suddenly be willing to turn himself in? It hasn't even been formally filed yet!"

"Besides, the things they did didn't cause any deaths or serious injuries. Even if they were sentenced to the maximum penalty, it wouldn't be more than a few years!"

"Now that he has voluntarily surrendered, he will definitely actively return the stolen goods, plead guilty and accept punishment. If he gets a lenient sentence, he might only get one or two years in prison, or even a suspended sentence!"

"In addition, Gao Qiqiang took people to turn himself in, but his more educated and intelligent younger brother Gao Qisheng did not. As a result, Qiangsheng Group is still in the hands of the Gao family, and the business is not affected at all."

"Do they think that this crackdown on organized crime launched by the higher authorities is serious, and that they'd rather surrender themselves now than be nominally supervised by the province in the future, hoping for a lighter sentence?"

An Changlin could no longer stand.

Clutching his phone, he ran straight up the stairs.

As a former soldier, he has always maintained a physical fitness routine, resulting in a tall, imposing, and agile physique.

When he rushed up to the third floor, Sha Ruijin and his group had just stepped out of the elevator and hadn't even reached their room door yet.

"Sha Shuji!"

"Hey, why are you back again?"

Sha Ruijin turned around with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation and warmth.

"I just received a call from Jinghai. I have an urgent matter to report to you!"

Upon hearing the name "Jinghai," Sha Ruijin's smile immediately froze.

My first thought was to prevent any major mass incidents from happening.

Ge Junshan, the brother-in-law, retired, and his wife, Ge Xiufen, was also disciplined and demoted.

They had originally hoped that Ge Junshan would act as a go-between and find an opportunity to visit Zeng Wensheng in Yanjing.

Even though Zeng Wensheng received a warning for his extravagant daughter and son-in-law wedding banquet, a fallen camel is still bigger than a horse.

Unexpectedly, during his lunch break today, he received news that Zeng Wensheng and his son had been taken away by the military that morning.
