Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1414: Chapter 834: Killing Intent (Part 2)

"Secretary Qi..."

"Enough!" Qi Bin interrupted him, "There’s no need for explanations. Let’s not beat around the bush. We all know what you did. Actually, this result might not be a bad thing for you. What do you say?"

This result was naturally agreed upon by Qi Bin, Luo Ye, Luo Feng, and Zhu Hongyu, given that Jiao Zuoting had served in Qin Mountain Town for over a decade.

Though he had long been inactive, he hadn’t committed any major wrongdoings, like the common issues of greed and corruption among many township officials, which were rare in his case.

His biggest mistake was indulging too much in power struggles, finding amusement in ousting everyone around him.

The party secretary of Yushui Town was Wen Yan, and that little fox had already subdued the town’s Mayor, so when Jiao Zuoting was transferred, he didn’t have the conditions to stir up trouble.

Giving him this limited face was a multi-faceted consideration, whether for Luo Feng’s benefit or to avoid disheartening the township officials; such an approach was necessary.

Of course, in the short term, Jiao Zuoting might find it hard to come to terms with.

Initially, he thought he had won again, and the outcome of this struggle might mean bringing down a county party secretary many ranks above him, but the result differed greatly.

How could he accept this all of a sudden?

As for the mention of Liu Yanji, Li ZhaoCai, and Jia Na jun, they were soon summoned as well.

Qi Bin had barely started when the three spilled the beans about how Jiao Zuoting threatened them to sign documents.

At this point, the most pleasantly surprised person turned out to be Li Zejun.

When everyone was discussing, they had him stand guard outside the door, so he never dreamed that suddenly, he’d become the Deputy Mayor.

...

"Mr. Jiao, what happened to you?" Barely dressed and ready to head to her brother’s house, Qian Ba’e panicked seeing her husband carried back home barely conscious.

Jiao Zuoting felt utterly desolate, unable to address Jiao Zuoe. After being helped onto the sofa by two staff members, he slumped sideways, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"What’s wrong with him?" Qian Ba’e quickly grabbed the two staff members about to leave.

"The Secretary has been transferred to Yushui Town, his mood might not be good." The staff said, and without waiting for Qian Ba’e to respond, they swiftly left.

Recalling the phone earlier, Qian Ba’e knew things weren’t right, so she quickly dialed Qian Baogang’s number: "Brother..."

She barely got a word out when Qian Baogang promptly interrupted: "Ba’e, if it’s about Jiao Zuoting, just don’t say anything, I can’t do anything either."

"Brother, he’s your brother-in-law, now he’s like a fool, if he stays half-dead like this, how can I cope?

Brother, you’ve cared for me most since childhood, and I remember all your kindness. Please help me one more time, will you, brother, I’m begging you!" Qian Ba’e pleaded tearfully.

"Ba’e, it’s not that I won’t help you, but my heart is willing and my strength is insufficient. This time he provoked someone powerful, not only was he transferred, but I was too."

Qian Ba’e immediately stopped crying: "Brother, where were you transferred?"

"Qujiang County, as the office director."

"Brother, was it because you were implicated by Jiao Renting?"

"Kind of."

"Brother, I’m sorry." This time, Qian Ba’e truly cried. Honestly speaking, her feelings for her brother were no less deep than for her husband.

Since childhood, her brother had protected her like a treasure, even when their parents wouldn’t help, her brother would give his all to assist her.

Thus, she grew up with her brother worrying more for her than her parents did.

Now, her brother was implicated by her husband, transferred to such a distant impoverished county, and even demoted; she felt deeply regretful.

She would rather her husband be completely dismissed than have her brother relocated.

"Brother, is there a way to resolve this? Brother, can you shift all the blame onto Mr. Jiao so you can avoid being transferred?"

On the sofa, Jiao Zuoting, lying motionless like a dead fish, rolled his eyes, then looked at his wife in disbelief, slowly sitting up.

Qian Ba’e continued: "Brother, as long as you’re okay, don’t worry about anything else. Mr. Jiao must bear his own mistakes, you have no obligation to pay for them.

In his current state, being transferred to Yushui Town or being an ordinary citizen makes little difference, brother, listen to me, right now, pin the responsibility on him."

"You wicked woman!" The pent-up anger in Jiao Zuoting’s heart felt like it was going to explode, he impulsively rushed over and pushed his wife down.

"Crash..."

Qian Ba’e rolled away alongside the tea table.

"Ba’e, what happened? Ba’e..."

Hearing the commotion on the other end, Qian Baogang yelled violently through the receiver, "Jiao Zuoting, if you dare harm my sister I’ll risk everything to kill you!"

"If you want to kill, go ahead. At this point, do you think I want to live? But having you accompany me in death makes it worthwhile, come on if you dare?

Let me tell you, now, I’m going to kill Qian Ba’e, and on Huangquan Road, having the two siblings accompany me makes it worthwhile.

Qian Baogang, don’t think I don’t know, Qian Ba’e isn’t your biological sister, you’ve always known this.

Moreover, if it weren’t for your parents blocking it, you might’ve married her, all this I know, so over the years your goodwill wasn’t for a brother-in-law, I owe you nothing! Never owed!!"
