Volume 1 Chapter 377 - Seeing Each Other
Just two days after the matter of Secretary Zhang and Wang Bluff making a deal was revealed, Zhao Rui was reinstated.
This was because there was evidence that the so-called Zhao Rui wounding incident was actually self-defense. Zhao Rui didn't show how happy he was when he received the reinstatement call.
Because, all of this was originally in his expectations.
That afternoon, he went to work at the police station.
Just as he entered the office, Tang Lei, who had the best relationship with him, greeted him, shook his hand, and gave him a hard hug.
"Hi! Welcome back!" Tang Lei said with a big smile, "You were away for the past two days, I didn't even have anyone to talk to, and I felt so bored!"
"Really? It's only been two days since you've been gone, and you're so lonely?" Zhao Rui also joked.
"Two men making out like this, not afraid of being fleshy." A cool voice suddenly drifted into the ears of the two.
Zhao Rui followed the voice and looked, only to see Ding Ling walking over with her arms crossed in front of her chest and her waist straight.
"Team Ding." Zhao Rui nodded at her as a greeting.
"Welcome back to the team. Work hard in the future and don't fool around."
Ding Ling took a look at him without any courtesy and directly threw out a hard sentence that almost didn't smash Zhao Rui on his head.
Zhao Rui shook his head, then turned his head to Tang Lei and smiled bitterly, "How come I can't hear the meaning of welcome from Team Ding's tone?"
"Uh... this is probably Team Ding's unique character." Tang Lei was also somewhat speechless, "But then again, it took a lot of effort to help you get reinstated this time!"
"Huh? Really?"
Zhao Rui couldn't help but feel a bit surprised, Ding Ling had always held a lot of stigma against him, how could she speak up for him?
"This is a thousand times true." Tang Lei said with great certainty, "After learning that it was Secretary Zhang who framed you, Team Ding first proposed to the top that you be reinstated. It's said that the above originally still had some concerns, but it's just that Team Ding was very insistent, so that's why you were able to come back so quickly."
"Then ... thank you so much."
Zhao Rui turned his head and thanked Ding Ling, he suddenly felt that this boss who had a pretty face all day and didn't deal with him had a very good side to her personality.
"There's nothing to thank you for, helping you get reinstated is also part of my job." Ding Ling said indifferently.
Zhao Rui nodded in agreement and changed the topic, "By the way, Secretary Zhang ... oh,not ... Zhang Jiong, what's his situation now?"
"What else can that guy do?" Tang Lei face showed disdain, "Ironclad evidence, he simply did not even have the opportunity to defend, has been double regulated. After two days of interrogation, he confessed to everything, and will probably be sent to our detention center in the afternoon."
"Oh? That's right. Then I'm going to meet."
Tang Lei said with a smile, "See can, but don't do anything to others. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll lose your hard-won job again."
"I won't be that impulsive."
Zhao Rui said, if he was going to make a move, Secretary Zhang would be dead if he had a thousand lives, so why wait until now.
"Haha, it's good that you're not impulsive. You're the one who'll have the last laugh anyway, so why bother being general with that guy? That being said, Secretary Zhang having the current fate is purely deserved as well." Tang Lei grinned and said with contempt, "Colluding with a gangster like Wang Bluff, relying on framing us to reap benefits. If he doesn't have bad luck, then there's really no justice."
Seeing Tang Lei's righteous indignation, Zhao Rui smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding.
The so-called rabbit death fox sadness, he and Tang Lei were colleagues in the same office, the relationship was good, he was suspended because of Secretary Zhang, Tang Lei's heart will naturally be a feeling of the same enemy.
Ding Ling suddenly interjected and said: "In fact, Zhao Rui's luck is quite good. Just after he was suspended, Secretary Zhang's case came to light, otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for Zhao Rui to be reinstated."
Tang Lei scratched his head, "I've always wondered! Who's so capable that they could actually record Secretary Zhang and Wang Bluff's trading scene without God knowing it?"
Ding Ling also found it unbelievable, "At that time, Secretary Zhang was in a box at the Tianlun Clubhouse! I know the Tianlun Club, it's famous for its tight security, even a fly can't get in, and the police can't figure out what kind of situation is inside. I didn't expect that someone could actually sneak in and take a sneak peek."
Tang Lei guessed, "Could it be someone inside the Tianlun Clubhouse? Or was it Wang Bluff himself who asked someone to film it, to be used to control Secretary Zhang at a critical time?"
Ding Ling glanced at him and said, "Wang Bluff isn't that stupid, even if he wanted to catch Secretary Zhang in the act, he would have picked other ways rather than filming himself dealing with Secretary Zhang. However, it's possible that someone from within the Tianlun Clubhouse."
Zhao Rui felt a bit amused in his belly as he listened to the two men's wild speculations, but his face did not move.
In his opinion, the more outrageous they stepped on it, the more favorable it would be for him instead.
Only when Ding Ling and Tang Lei's speculations came to an end did Zhao Rui open his mouth to ask:
"Right, that Huaye's Wang Bluff, how is it now? Is it under control?"
Ding Ling shook her head, her beautiful short hair reflecting the light and swaying gently along with it, "No. The racy photos just spread online. When the racy photos just spread on the internet, he got the news and ran away overnight. We are currently preparing to issue a wanted notice to hunt him down."
Tang Lei laughed, "This guy is resourceful, he runs faster than a rabbit, he can't even chase after him, he's much better than Secretary Zhang."
Zhao Rui said, "I think, this is what makes Wang Bluff so powerful, one look at the wind is not right, decades of hard work to build a foundation, say throw away, this is not a decision that ordinary people can make."
"He is a dangerous person, it is best to be able to apprehend ... him early," Ding Ling was saying, as if she had discovered something, and her line of sight suddenly turned toward the window.
Zhao Rui followed her gaze and looked out, only to see two police cars, stopping in the parking lot outside the building.
Secretary Zhang's hands were handcuffed, and under the escort of several police officers, he walked out of the police car.
Compared with two days ago, there was a huge change on Secretary Zhang, his face was pale, the whole person was listless and downcast, the arrogance and haughtiness that he once had, had completely disappeared by this time.
In fact, this is only natural, from a promising young official, suddenly turned into a prisoner of the rank, it is just like falling from heaven into hell!
In addition, the fear and anxiety about his future also tormented him, and he didn't know, what would be his final end, what would be his end.
"When I saw him a few days ago, this guy was still high and mighty, flying and domineering, bullish to the sky, and didn't even bother to look at me! I didn't expect it, but today it's become this appearance." Tang Lei said in a mocking tone, without sympathy.
"Falling to this state is probably something he didn't even dream of." Ding Ling shook her head and sighed, "The most pitiful thing is that he doesn't even know, until now, what he was brought down by."
"I would like to meet with Secretary Zhang." Before Ding Ling's words landed, Zhao Rui suddenly said.
"You want to declare your victory?" Ding Ling laughed but didn't stop, "Then go wait in the interrogation room and I'll arrange for you to meet him alone."
Zhao Rui nodded and went to the interrogation room, and after waiting for a short while, Secretary Zhang brought him in.
"Secretary Zhang, we meet again." Zhao Rui smiled as he walked over to him and patted his shoulder, "Only the wind and water have changed, last time it was you interrogating me, this time we switched places."
"You came to see me laugh, right?" Secretary Zhang raised his head slightly, a resentful look shooting out from his eyes, "The king has become the loser, I'm now your prisoner, so feel free to mock me."
"Mock you," Zhao Rui shrugged, "There's no need for that. It's not worth it to me."
Secretary Zhang gritted his teeth fiercely and turned his head to the side, not looking at Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui paced around him and said carelessly, "Secretary Zhang, have you never figured out how your deal with Wang Bluff was actually filmed?"
Secretary Zhang was like he had been given a needle, jerking his head up and looking at Zhao Rui incredulously, "You .... Could it ... be you!"
Zhao Rui smiled and looked at him condescendingly, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"
"How could you ... you possibly enter the Tianlun Clubhouse? And how could you possibly know at what time Wang Bluff and I met!"
"To do all these, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for me. If you want someone to know, unless you do it yourself, this old saying, have you forgotten it? Secretary Zhang, you've tried to put me to death three times, do you think I don't know? This is just a small response to you."
Hearing this, Secretary Zhang glared at Zhao Rui with a death glare, his eyes almost spewing fire.
Even though he hated to tear Zhao Rui apart and swallow him in his stomach, he hardened his teeth and didn't say a single word.
This was because he knew very well what his current status was.
He was the loser in this fight, and the smartest thing to do now was to act as tame as possible.
It wouldn't be too late to take revenge when he had the chance to rise again in the future.
Zhao Rui took his look in and guessed what he was thinking, but smiled unconcernedly, ''I know you're not convinced and want to seek revenge on me, and I'm always ready to wait.
However, I'll probably have to wait for a long time. Because, with the crimes you have committed, it will only not be easy to get out of prison within twenty years."
Secretary Zhang's face instantly turned ashen, and his entire body paralyzed in his chair as if he had been struck by lightning.
The little bit of fighting spirit that had just gathered because of his resentment also went up in smoke in an instant.
He knew very well that Zhao Rui was right, in addition to embezzlement and bribery, Du Pengfei's murder, he also needed to take a large part of the responsibility.
The law's punishment for him will definitely not be light, and I'm afraid that he will really have to sit through the bottom of the jail.
