Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

"Don't panic!"

Liu Ming's voice was like a thunderclap, instantly drowning out all the noise and exclamations at the scene.

He looked at the fire still billowing thick smoke in front of him, his eyes showing no panic whatsoever, but rather as calm as a block of unmelting ice.

"Old Chen, take the men with Dragon Shield and immediately seal off all entrances and exits of the National Development and Reform Commission building! Tonight, without my order, not even a fly is allowed to leave!"

"yes!"

Old Chen accepted the order and left; the several dark figures quickly disappeared into the night.

"Xiao Bei!"

"exist!"

"Contact the information center immediately and have them archive and retrieve all the surveillance footage from the entire building over the past 48 hours!"

"yes!"

"And you."

Liu Ming turned her head and looked at the logistics director, who was terrified and in tears.

"Go and get the fire department's on-site investigation report to my office immediately. I need to know how this fire started. Was it an accident, or... was it intentional?"

……

A series of instructions were issued smoothly and efficiently, without the slightest hesitation.

The powerful aura of a top commander, forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, instantly calmed the minds of everyone present.

Those cadres who were previously stuck in place, at a loss, seemed to have found their backbone when they saw Liu Ming's upright and pine-like back.

They knew that as long as this man was still alive, the sky wouldn't fall.

……

Half an hour later, in the director's office.

This place has been temporarily converted into a combat command center.

Liu Ming sat behind the large mahogany desk, holding a damp towel in her hand, slowly wiping the black ash off her face and hands.

In front of him was a military-grade encrypted laptop.

On the computer screen, Ghost Hand's smug face was looking at him excitedly through a video call.

"Boss, I knew it! These bastards would definitely do something desperate!"

"Your 'luring the snake out of its hole' tactic was absolutely brilliant! I just released that fake R&D progress report for the 'Dragon Abyss' chip through a few 'loopholes' on the internal network, and those rats couldn't sit still."

"They've set quite a big fire. It seems they're really in a hurry," Liu Ming said calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"How can we not be in a hurry?"

Ghost Hand chuckled, tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and brought up a video.

It was an extremely clear surveillance video, so clear that you could even see the pores on the faces of the people in it.

However, this video did not come from the public surveillance system inside the National Development and Reform Commission building.

Instead, it came from... a pinhole camera cleverly hidden inside a laboratory smoke sensor.

"Boss, have you forgotten? When we were helping Nangong Yao set up that security system, I casually left some 'backdoors' in several core areas of our ministry building."

Ghost Hand looked smug.

"That's called being prepared."

Liu Ming looked at the furtive figure on the screen, a cold smile curving her lips.

In the video.

Just ten minutes before the fire broke out.

A man in a cleaning uniform, wearing a mask and hat, pushed a cleaning cart into the empty core laboratory.

He skillfully avoided several regular surveillance cameras and walked directly to the "Spark" server.

Then, he took out a crowbar and a cutting machine from the cleaning truck and tried to forcefully break open the server's casing.

After the failure.

Enraged, he poured a bucket of highly concentrated accelerant that he had prepared beforehand onto the server and surrounding equipment.

Then he lit the lighter and threw it in.

After doing all this, he then professionally sabotaged the laboratory's fire sprinkler system and backup power supply.

Then, unhurriedly, he pushed the cleaning cart and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The entire process was flawless.

If it weren't for the ghost hand leaving this "backdoor"...

This fire will become an unsolved mystery that will never be cracked.

Liu Ming will also be burdened with the enormous blame of "mismanagement leading to the damage of core national assets," a blame he will never be able to escape.

"Enlarge his face." Liu Ming's voice was cold.

The ghost hand pressed the Enter key.

That face, mostly covered by a mask, was instantly restored in high definition using AI technology.

Even though it's only half a face, it's enough.

Liu Ming recognized him.

—Sun Dahai.

—Director of the General Affairs Division, High-Tech Industries Department.

—Yes, he was Zhao Ruihu's most loyal dog.

"it is good."

"very good."

A chilling killing intent flashed in Liu Ming's eyes.

"Since the evidence is conclusive..."

"Then there's no need to let this mouse, which jumped out on its own, see tomorrow's sun."

He picked up the internal phone on the table and dialed the number of the disciplinary inspection team directly.

"I am Liu Ming."

"Come to my office."

"Here's a 'New Year's gift' for you."

hang up the phone.

Liu Ming slowly leaned back in her chair.

He looked out the window at the night sky, which was now a blood red glow from the lights of the fire trucks, his eyes as deep as the sea.

he knows.

This was a "decisive trap" meticulously planned by Zhao Ruihu and those comprador capitalists, aimed at killing him.

At this moment, it has been completely declared bankrupt.

And then the time that follows.

This will be his... moment of counterattack.

He not only wanted to catch all the small fry who had come to the fore, but also to catch them all.

He also wants to follow this line and catch all the real big fish hidden deeper inside, one by one!

"Zhao Ruihu".

Liu Ming murmured the name softly, a cruel smile curving her lips.

"You think you can get away with faking illness and hiding in the hospital?"

"The game has only just begun."

Just then.

The office door was gently pushed open.

Chen Momo walked in, carrying a steaming cup of ginger tea.

Her eyes were still red, clearly still shaken by the fire.

"Director, are you...are you alright?"

"It's alright." Liu Ming took the ginger tea, took a sip, and felt the warmth spread throughout her body instantly.

"Director..." Chen hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "You...you weren't afraid when you rushed into the fire?"

"Afraid?"

Liu Ming smiled.

He looked out the window at the still-flashing red and blue police lights, his gaze becoming incredibly distant.

"The only thing in this world that can frighten Liu Ming."

"Not yet, it's not finished yet."
