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

Chapter 301 Daring to touch Du Bozhong! Something's fishy going on!

Ji Changming was full of confidence.

He felt that given Zhao Ruilong's background and identity...

How could that Hong Kong businesswoman possibly refuse to give him face?

In his view, businessmen are profit-driven.

If they don't cooperate, Du Bozhong will definitely be imprisoned.

They didn't get much compensation, and instead offended the Zhao family.

But if you offend the Zhao family, can you still do business well in Handong?

on the contrary.

But it made Zhao Ruilong owe her a favor.

Ji Changming even felt that...

This businesswoman might have deliberately set a trap.

The purpose was to use Du Bozhong as a springboard to get in touch with Zhao Ruilong.

But he naturally couldn't say those words out loud.

Zhao Ruilong took a deep drag on his cigarette.

“You’re right. Huilong Group is a representative of private enterprises in our Handong Province.”

"If word gets out that Du Bozhong, the chairman, was actually sentenced to jail for rape, that would be a huge disgrace!"

Ji Changming quickly chimed in, "That's right! The once-prosperous Huilong Group has produced a rapist; isn't that just making them a laughingstock?"

Zhao Ruilong reached out his hand.

Ji Changming instinctively stood up quickly and placed the ashtray on the coffee table in front of Zhao Ruilong.

Is this the demeanor of a deputy chief prosecutor?

Zhao Ruilong smiled, flicked off his cigarette ash, and said in a deep voice:

“Du Bozhong is saved.”

"Although this guy has a bad character and does disgusting things."

“But he is, after all, our business partner, and also the legal representative and chairman of Huilong Group.”

“If we all try to smooth things over by staying within the bounds of the law after he gets into trouble, wouldn’t it make us siblings seem petty? Who would dare to follow us in the future?”

"So even if I go to that Hong Kong businesswoman, it will be a loss of face, and I will inevitably be asked to make demands. But what can I do? Our people did something wrong, so we have to bow our heads!"

Ji Changming nodded repeatedly.

He had a pious look on his face, as if saying, "Young master, whatever you say is right."

Zhao Ruilong took a drag of his cigarette and continued:

"But before that, there's something else I want to figure out."

"Why is the efficiency of the Jingzhou East District Branch so terrifyingly high?"

"The case happened just the night before last, and it's been less than 48 hours now."

"In such a short time, they actually completed a series of tasks, including filing a case for investigation, arrest and interrogation, and physical evidence identification, and then transferred the case to the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate."

"If you hadn't intervened so quickly after learning about the situation and prepared to have the case handled by the provincial procuratorate, wouldn't this case have been tried in just a few days? Isn't that a bit too fast?"

Zhao Ruilong is no fool.

Moreover, his girlfriend, Lu Yike, also works at the procuratorate.

He knew, of course, that there were many cases, big and small, in Jingzhou, a city with a large population.

From the initial investigation to the prosecution and trial, a case often takes two to three months, or even longer.

Even for cases that are simple and have solid evidence, it still takes at least a month or two to process.

After all, so many units and departments are involved, and everyone isn't just waiting to handle this one case.

however……

Du Bozhong's case, handled by the Jingzhou East District Branch, somehow managed to achieve rocket-speed processing.

The investigation and interrogation of the case can be completed in less than 48 hours, and the case can be transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution.

With this speed and this efficiency...

That's enough to apply for a world record.

The reason it was able to happen so quickly is 80% due to special handling procedures.

But why make special arrangements and be so eager to send Du Bozhong to prison?

This is what Zhao Ruilong needs to figure out.

Anyone with that power couldn't possibly be unaware that Du Bozhong was a puppet of the Zhao siblings.

Even if you don't know.

As the chairman of Huilong Group.

Du Bozhong is already a well-known entrepreneur in Handong Province.

He has attended many meetings, participated in many project commencement ceremonies, and appeared in many news reports.

Meanwhile, Handong Province has been continuously optimizing its business environment and guiding and supporting the private economy.

Huilong Group is a star among private enterprises.

In addition to the widely distributed Huilong chain internet cafes, there are also the consistently popular Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone), and MP3 music players that are in high demand.

Huilong Group has invested in numerous major engineering projects and high-tech industries in Handong Province, including the highly anticipated first phase of the Yanhu High-speed Railway.

To target Du Bozhong, the chairman of such a well-known and prominent company...

Especially Du Bozhong, who is from Hong Kong.

Shouldn't we be extremely cautious and meticulous?

If a wrongful conviction is made, wouldn't that damage the confidence of private entrepreneurs and harm the business environment in Handong?

The results of it?

Instead of being 'cautious and meticulous,' the Jingzhou East District Branch achieved a world record-breaking speed.

Furthermore, the enforcement of the law was clearly exceptionally strict during the investigation.

After Du Bozhong was arrested, he was never allowed to contact the outside world.

Otherwise, this guy would definitely try to contact his siblings and get him out as soon as possible.

I only learned about his accident today from Ji Changming.

The situation is quite obvious.

Some people knew his identity and his relationship with the Zhao family.

But he showed no mercy and allowed the man to send a message for help.

Instead, they made an exception and were eager for him to go to jail.

Is this a punishment for Du Bozhong, or a slap in the face to the Zhao family?

Zhao Ruilong believes that both are true.

As for Ji Changming...

What an intelligent person he is!

He knew, of course, that this matter was not simple.

It was precisely because he realized that this was no ordinary matter that he decided to take a gamble.

Act promptly and upgrade the case to a higher level to prevent the Jingzhou Municipal Procuratorate from going through the proper procedures to initiate a public prosecution.

Even if he doesn't run into Zhao Ruilong today, he will find Lu Yike and then contact Zhao Ruilong to inform him of the case.

Knowing full well that someone was disrespecting the Zhao family and trying to frame Du Bozhong, Ji Changming was gambling.

Those people can't win this bet, so by siding with the Zhao family, I can gain Zhao Ruilong's favor.

Now that Zhao Ruilong has asked, Ji Changming naturally no longer hides the truth.

He glanced sideways at the already closed door.

Ji Changming leaned forward slightly again and said mysteriously:

"Rumor has it that the campaign to rectify work style at the grassroots level has had a significant impact in Jingzhou City, and there are quite a few people who are resentful."

"So when your group's chairman, Du Bozhong, got into trouble this time, they were particularly proactive and enthusiastic, to the point that their efficiency was astonishing."

"If I hadn't intercepted the case in time, the Jingzhou Municipal Procuratorate would probably have filed a public prosecution very soon, and recommended a sentence of at least five years, or even seven years, instead of three years!"

Zhao Ruilong snorted coldly, "He didn't even succeed, so is a five- or seven-year sentence appropriate?"

Ji Changming gave an awkward smile.

"This is, of course, just my personal speculation."

"If we were to enforce the law impartially, someone like him who attempted rape would only get a three-year sentence."

Zhao Ruilong let out a long sigh of relief.

"What a fine example of upholding justice!"

"Back then, those who were heartless and punished minor mistakes severely were made to taste the bitterness of being punished for minor mistakes."

"Now that the boomerang has hit them, it's their turn to uphold justice and punish Du Bozhong according to the law and regulations."

Ji Changming smiled and said, "Ruilong, don't be anxious or angry."

“Du Bozhong confessed to the crime, and the woman also had scratches on her body, and key physical evidence was extracted from her body.”

"But as long as you handle things with the woman, I'm confident I can get the case reopened, and then..."

Zhao Ruilong interjected, "For me, settling this case is a minor matter; figuring out who dared to handle the case at such lightning speed is the real issue."

Ji Changming nodded emphatically.

"understand!"

"We should find out who's behind this as soon as possible."

"Let's see who dares to disrespect you like this!"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled.

"Is he disrespecting me?"

Ji Changming was stunned.

Then I immediately understood.

Taking down Du Bozhong is a slap in the face to the Zhao siblings.

Disrespecting the Zhao siblings is tantamount to disrespecting Zhao Lichun, the Secretary.

Thinking of this, Ji Changming couldn't help but frown and gasp.

"Hiss... Who on earth has the audacity to be so daring?"

Zhao Ruilong forcefully stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"The case occurred in the Dongcheng District of Jingzhou, and it was handled by the Dongcheng District Branch of the Public Security Bureau."

"It involves two Hong Kong businessmen, one of whom has close ties to my Zhao family."

"Those in the district and branch offices clearly don't have the ability or the guts. Such a big matter must be reported to the municipal bureau and the city, so..."

Zhao Ruilong need not say anything more.

Ji Changming, that old fox, clearly understood immediately.

As the provincial capital of Handong, Jingzhou had a relatively high administrative level.

Just like in the original drama of In the Name of the People.

After Li Dakang became the top official in Jingzhou, he joined the provincial party committee.

Zhao Ruilong picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

Although the shrewd and cunning Ji Changming is not very likable.

When there are benefits, he will take sides and support them.

When there was danger, he resolutely cut it off.

but now……

He needed to employ people and needed Ji Changming to do the work.

Just like a boss needs to get a company running.

Obviously, we can't just rely on loyal and hardworking oxen and horses.

Clever and cunning villains are also indispensable.

If used properly, it can still play a significant role.

After setting down his teacup, Zhao Ruilong said unhurriedly:

"The Dongcheng District Branch is enforcing the law so impartially, I guess Du Bozhong must be under close guard in the detention center."

"Friends and relatives definitely cannot visit. Even if a lawyer is sent, they will probably be watched the whole time they meet."

Upon hearing this, Ji Changming immediately said:

“If you want to pass on a message to him, I have a way to do it.”

Ji Changming is really going all out with this blatant violation of the rules.

Since he had already said all that, Zhao Ruilong certainly couldn't keep up appearances any longer.

"Actually, there's not much to say. Tell him to put his mind at ease, and I'll find a way to get him out of this."

"As for that Hong Kong businesswoman..."

Ji Changming immediately opened the yellow bag.

He took out the businesswoman's personal information, quickly made a copy, and folded it neatly before handing it to Zhao Ruilong.

It was as if Zhao Ruilong was afraid that folding even a single piece of paper would tire him out.

Putting the paper in his pocket, Zhao Ruilong stood up and said:

"And one more thing."
