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

Chapter 139 Sha Ruijin upholds the bottom line, Zhong Zhengguo is furious!

Even a clay figure has a temper!

Moreover, Sha Ruijin is no ordinary person.

Not to mention that he is now the third-in-command of Linjiang Province, holding a high position and great power.

Zhong Zhengguo should have been given at least some respect.

His background is also quite complicated.

Back then, he was an orphan in the village and didn't even have a name.

When the war ended, Chen Yanshi and his elite squad were reduced to only six men.

They arrived at Shajiaba, the hometown of their former squad leader Sha Zhenjiang, only to find that no one was there anymore.

In order to ensure that the old squad leader's lineage would not end, Chen Yanshi and five others decided to adopt the village's orphans and raise them as the descendants of the old squad leader, Sha Zhenjiang.

This is the end.

Only then did Sha Ruijin get a name and a decent life.

Raised by six veteran heroes, Sha Ruijin has always considered himself a descendant of martyrs since childhood.

They are descendants of heroes who have red blood flowing in their veins and are willing to risk their lives to fight for the country and the people!

Zhong Zhengguo had previously asked him to help Dafeng Factory, which was experiencing financial difficulties, find some business opportunities in Linjiang Province.

It not only described how pitiful it would be for those more than a thousand employees to be laid off and unemployed, but also brought up Mr. Ge.

Out of consideration for his feelings, Sha Ruijin agreed, but he regretted it all along.

But now...

After investigating and searching, no problems were found with Zhao Lidong.

Zhong Zhengguo, driven entirely by his own selfish desires, actually tried to frame Zhao Lidong.

Is this the attitude and behavior expected of someone in a high position?

Is this still part of the education rectification campaign in Linjiang, or is it just settling personal scores?

How would a descendant of a hero who received patriotic education from childhood and aspired to serve his country and people think?

He, Sha Ruijin, isn't without a temper.

He's not afraid if things really turn sour.

My father is the martyr Sha Zhenjiang!

All six godfathers were war heroes!

In terms of background, Zhong Zhengguo is far inferior.

The key is……

Orphans suffer from a lifelong psychological trauma due to the lack of parental love.

When he was a child, seeing other children being loved by their mothers, Sha Ruijin wished his mother were still alive.

He hated the war and the hunger and poverty that had killed his parents.

And now...

Zhong Zhengguo kept greeting his mother.

How could Sha Ruijin possibly accept this?

So when he gets angry, he speaks without thinking.

But Zhong Zhengguo, who was in a fit of anger, didn't think about all that.

He glared angrily at Sha Ruijin.

"What did you say?"

"You want my dog ​​to frame Zhao Lidong? What are you doing then?"

Sha Ruijin glared and said, "Of course I'm going to uphold the law impartially!"

"As a descendant of a hero, I would never do something like knowingly breaking the law or framing someone!"

"If I were to do that, I would not only be letting down the country and the people, but also my parents, and my godparents who raised me!"

"you!!"

Zhong Zhengguo was so angry that his eyes bulged out, and he raised his hand to angrily point at Sha Ruijin.

"You want to talk to me about law, principles, and conscience?"

"Have you forgotten who has been nurturing you all these years?"

"Without our help, could you have gotten to where you are today?"

Sha Ruijin glanced at him coldly.

"So you've always been raising me like a lackey, wanting me to be obedient and do whatever you want?"

Zhong Zhengguo's pupils constricted; he was furious.

After taking a few deep breaths, he said in a deep voice:

"Sha Ruijin!"

"A person should know how to repay kindness!"

"We haven't treated you like a lackey, but you should at least know how to reciprocate kindness, right?"

Sha Ruijin gave a cold snort.

"So, the way you're asking me to break the law, abuse my power for personal gain, and frame the honest and upright Zhao Lidong?"

Zhong Zhengguo stood up angrily and roared:

"You're talking nonsense! If Zhao Lidong is honest and upright, I'm not a Zhong!"

Sha Ruijin slowly stood up.

"Whether he's hiding his true abilities or not, I don't care!"

"All I know is that, based on my current investigation, he's fine!"

"Even if he has problems, I believe that if the investigation doesn't stop, his true colors will eventually be revealed!"

"But you're asking me to find someone to frame someone? What kind of nonsense is that? How could you say something like that? Do you live up to your position, your identity, and your oath?"

"Did you come to Linjiang Province to uphold justice and rid the people of evil, or did you come to seek personal gain, settle personal scores, and engage in power struggles? Do you have any sense of justice left?"

Sha Ruijin's words were resounding and powerful, like a booming bell.

He is a descendant of heroes and speaks out for justice.

Standing on the moral high ground, one naturally exudes an overwhelming aura.

So even though Zhong Zhengguo was two ranks higher than him.

He is by no means weak in terms of presence.

And that's what Sha Ruijin asked him.

Zhong Zhengguo was naturally furious.

But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't refute it.

How to quibble?

How to angrily curse?

How can someone who frames and slander others be justified?

As a descendant of a martyr, Sha Ruijin should abide by the law. Is that wrong?

They stared at each other, neither willing to give in.

After a while.

Zhong Zhengguo gritted his teeth and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Great!"

"Sha Ruijin, you've really made something of yourself! You've really gotten capable!"

"They used to obey my every command and follow my orders, but now they dare to be so arrogant and challenge me!"

Sha Ruijin retorted angrily, "I'm not being arrogant and challenging you! I'm acting according to my conscience and principles; I still have my bottom line as an official and a person!"

"I, Sha Ruijin, may not advance in my career, nor do I aspire to become a good official in the eyes of the people, but I must never knowingly break the law or frame others!"

“If I really did that, what kind of person would I be? Would I still be worthy of being the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Linjiang Province? Would I still have the face to demand that everyone in the province abide by the law?”

Zhong Zhengguo let out a heavy, cold snort.

"Then you can continue to obey your rules and laws!"

"If you don't find a way to defeat the Zhao family, you'll regret it in the future!"

Sha Ruijin chuckled.

"What do I regret?"

"If I compete based on my own ability, I will have no regrets even if I lose."

"But if I resort to underhanded tactics and frame others, even if I win, I'll have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life!"

"Besides, look at the Zhao family. Have they ever resorted to underhanded tactics? Zhao Lichun has been trying to develop his business for so many years!"

"They are busy all day long attracting investment, cultivating high-tech industries, developing a high-quality economy, and completely changing the face of poverty and backwardness."

"And what about you? What have you done? Instead of vigorously promoting the rule of law, instead of properly educating and rectifying people, you've been thinking of framing and killing Zhao Lidong?"

At this point, Sha Ruijin took a step forward.

"I will report today's events to Elder Ge truthfully immediately."

"If he supports you, I have nothing to say. From now on, we'll go our separate ways!"

“You can also frame me, make me a backer of Zhao Lidong or Su Jinyi, and send me to jail.”

"But if Elder Ge supports me, I will continue to investigate Zhao Lidong, but I will also keep a close eye on you. I will never allow you to abuse your power for personal gain or commit corruption!"

After saying that, Sha Ruijin turned and walked away.

Just as he was about to reach the door, Sha Ruijin suddenly stopped and turned around.

"If you want Su Jinyi to spend money to avoid disaster and buy peace, there's really no need to make it so complicated."

"You can just give him a call and ask him to come back to Linjiang. You two can talk it out privately!"

"He's the richest man in Linjiang with assets of over 10 billion. If he gave you a hundred or two hundred million, you could live off it for a lifetime!"

"Get out of here! Get out!!"

Zhong Zhengguo was furious and roared loudly.

Sha Ruijin's words just now were a real slap in the face.

It was like suddenly tearing off his fig leaf, exposing his naked bottom in front of everyone.

As everyone knows...

Sha Ruijin had only speculated about it.

Zhong Zhengguo was very unhappy about Su Jinyi's continuous investments in Handong, which was quite unusual.

So, while everyone was hot-tempered and angry, we decided to test them.

Seeing Zhong Zhengguo so angry.

Sha Ruijin then knew that he had guessed correctly.

In Zhong Zhengguo's eyes, there was no longer any justice, only self-interest.

The purpose of framing Zhao Lidong was to weaken the Zhao family.

He extorted Su Jinyi in order to make a large profit.

Unfortunately……

This argument came too suddenly.

I didn't bring a voice recorder with me.

Old Ge turned around and questioned Zhong Zhengguo.

This guy will definitely deny it outright.

but……

Whether Zhong Zhengguo acts like a man and openly admits it, or acts like a villain and denies it outright.

Sha Ruijin slammed the door and left. As soon as he returned to his office, he immediately dialed Mr. Ge's number.

As for Zhong Zhengguo...

He plopped down on the sofa.

Everyone was confused.

He didn't know why he was so furious today.

Was it because they failed to extort two billion from Su Jinyi?

Or is it because they've been in Linjiang for over half a month but haven't achieved any results?

Or perhaps, Fan Jian's case has stirred up a storm in Yanjing, giving him a bad feeling?

Although there are many factors that can cause a bad mood, Zhong Zhengguo still felt that they shouldn't have had this argument.

This argument not only ruined his own image and exposed his true colors, but also angered the promising Sha Ruijin.

Recently, my group and I have suffered a series of setbacks and heavy losses.

Now, news has surfaced that he and Sha Ruijin had a falling out...

"Old Ge must be very angry and disappointed in me! Sigh~"

Leaning back on the sofa, Zhong Zhengguo already had a premonition that Old Ge would call and give him a good scolding.

He's no longer thinking about being scolded.

But how exactly did this situation come about?

It seems that ever since he strongly supported Liang Qunfeng to become the top official in Handong Province, he has been plagued by bad luck.

He didn't arrive at the scene of the major mining disaster in Lincheng immediately; instead, he was in Yanjing strolling through a market with his daughter and son-in-law...

Liang Qunfeng, who had strongly supported him, failed to take over his position smoothly. His children even got into trouble and went to jail, and he himself committed suicide out of shame...

In an attempt to save Dafeng Factory, they first tried to get Chen Yanshi's help, but it backfired and they lost face. Then, Sha Ruijin, who was helping in Linjiang, was almost implicated by Cai Chenggong, who had made a fool of himself...

Seeing that Zhao Ruilong and his sister's Huilong Group was contributing to the high-quality economic development of Handong, they sent people to investigate the source of the funds. However, Fan Jian was caught soliciting prostitutes and foolishly implicated a large number of corrupt accomplices...

When he came to Linjiang to rectify education, he wanted to take advantage of the situation and engage in favoritism. However, Su Jinyi, the richest man in Linjiang, refused to back down. He was so angry that he wanted to take it out on Zhao Lidong, which led to a big argument with Sha Ruijin...

"Why the hell have I been getting worse and worse these past few months?"

"Am I destined to be unable to use underhanded tactics, or I will surely suffer retribution?"

Zhong Zhengguo looked pained.

The thought that Sha Ruijin's complaint would inevitably lead to a severe scolding from Elder Ge made him realize that he would be severely reprimanded.

So I'm really afraid of my phone ringing.

But it took a long time.

The cell phone didn't ring, but the pager hidden in the desk rang instead.

The only person who could make the call was clearly Cai Chenggong.

He got up, sat down behind his desk, and took out his mobile phone.

"Hello, it's me. What's your fax number?"

Zhong Zhengguo quickly took notes.

The thought of all the recent setbacks makes me realize that I might never be able to make any progress again.

Since that's the case, why not just go all out and make as much money as possible?

Otherwise, losing power and not getting any money would be truly painful.

"Cai Chenggong, you must not go easy on them."

"Because this is very likely, and will be, my last time in charge of education and rectification!"

Before Cai Chenggong could ask any more questions, Zhong Zhengguo hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, he personally operated the fax machine and sent out the documents.

After finishing everything, he lit a cigarette and waited quietly for his phone to ring.

Jingle bell~

I was almost finished with my third cigarette when the phone finally rang.

"Tomorrow is April Fool's Day, and you can't wait to play a joke on me today?"

"I won't listen to any of your pointless explanations. Go apologize to Comrade Sha Ruijin right now!"

Zhong Zhengguo, who was quick to anger, immediately retorted:

"Why the hell should I apologize?"

"Birds of a feather flock together, what's with the pretense of high-mindedness?"

"He doesn't even dare to deal with Zhao Lidong, so how can he be one of our own?"

"I think he's an ungrateful wretch who can't be tamed at all; he's not worth raising!"
