In the Name of the People: Reborn as Chen Hai

Chen Hai, director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau at the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. In his previous life, he followed the rules and reported everything up the chain. In the time it took to hold a meeting, Ding Yizhen was already on a flight to Los Angeles. He investigated Shanshui Group until he was at his own doorstep, where a truck with fake plates hit him and left him in a vegetative state. He lay in a hospital bed for three years, hearing how things ended for everyone in Handong. When he opened his eyes again, it was four o’clock in the afternoon on the day Ding Yizhen fled. In the provincial Party committee office, Gao Yuliang was holding a cup of tea, Qi Tongwei sat to one side, and Ji Changming was still reciting procedure. Chen Hai took out his phone and immediately ordered the area secured. He walked in and slapped the case-filing notice down on the table. “Secretary Gao, sign it.” After Gao signed, Chen smiled and collected everyone’s phones into a porcelain dish. The Skynet System was bound to him, giving him corruption scans, evidence leads, and warnings when someone lied. At the airport gate, Ding Yizhen’s flight was changed to a trip to the detention center. On a one-way street late at night, the truck with fake plates that had hit him in his previous life was intercepted instead. At Dahfeng Factory No. 116, an eighty-three-year-old father sat by the factory gate on a folding stool. The tragedy in which thirty-eight people were burned in his previous life never happened this time. In this life, he would still follow the rules, and he would still catch the traitors.
