Hou Liangping arrested a hawkish general, and his father-in-law panicked

Zhao Yuanchao nodded.

He was quite satisfied with Sha Ruijin's statement.

At this moment, Yuan Lang's voice was heard again in the communication channel.

"Report to the commander! In the safe in the manager's office, in addition to the account books, we also found a satellite phone!"

Satellite phone?

Everyone in the command room was on edge again.

"What's on the phone?"

Zhao Yuanchao asked.

"Technicians are cracking it! However, according to the call records, shortly after we launched the operation, this phone made a three-minute call to a number in the Cayman Islands!"

Cayman Islands!

A paradise for money laundering!

"check!"

Zhao Yuanchao's order consisted of only one word.

"Yes!"

The atmosphere in the command room became tense again.

Everyone knows that this call is most likely made to the bigger protector behind Zhao Lidong, or his partner!

A few minutes later, the report from the technical department came back.

Zhou Shoujing's expression became extremely strange.

"Commander..."

He walked over to Zhao Yuanchao and reported in a low voice, "We found that number."

"who is it?"

"It's...it's Zhao Lidong's son, Zhao Ruilong."

Zhou Shoujing's tone was filled with disbelief. "He's in the Cayman Islands right now. Our people found out that one of his offshore companies completed a massive asset transfer just three hours ago."

Zhao Lidong is just Zhao Lichun's cousin.

And Zhao Ruilong is Zhao Lichun's biological son.

Or, is Zhao Lichun really as ignorant of all this as he appears to be?

Zhao Yuanchao's gaze unconsciously swept towards Gao Yuliang again.

He saw that when Gao Yuliang heard the name "Zhao Ruilong", a trace of emotion flashed across his dead face...

Understand?

interesting.

It seems that the water in Handong is even more muddy than he imagined.

"Comrade aiding Korea,"

Sha Ruijin approached, his voice low. "Look, the evidence is now irrefutable. Zhao Lidong and Zhao Ruilong, father and son... oh no, uncle and nephew, were in cahoots and committed heinous crimes. Comrade Zhao Lichun also bears unshirkable responsibility for his leadership and for the family's mismanagement."

"Shouldn't our next focus be on how to quickly apprehend Zhao Ruilong and, at the same time, severely punish Comrade Zhao Lichun?"

Sha Ruijin was testing and guiding at the same time.

He wanted to keep the fire within the Zhao family's area.

Close the case as soon as possible and quell this political earthquake that is enough to subvert Handong as soon as possible.

However, Zhao Yuanchao smiled.

He looked at Sha Ruijin and shook his head.

"Secretary Sha, do you think this is the end?"

He pointed at the bloody account book on the screen.

"Zhao Ruilong is nothing more than a little wolf cub that ran away when it smelled blood."

"But this account records those 'distinguished guests from the capital' and those 'coal bosses from Shanxi Province'..."

Zhao Yuanchao's gaze became as sharp as a knife.

"Who are they?"

"We've arrested Zhao Lidong, who's next?"

Zhao Yuanchao's words were like a basin of cold water poured over Sha Ruijin's head.

The thought of "calming the situation down as quickly as possible" that had just arisen in his mind was instantly extinguished.

Sha Ruijin's back was soaked with cold sweat again.

He looked at Zhao Yuanchao's young but cold face, and for the first time, he felt a little regret for inviting this great god to Handong.

This is not a knife.

This is a volcano about to erupt!

He, Sha Ruijin, was standing on the crater of the volcano and could be blown to pieces at any time.

Just when the atmosphere in the command room fell into stagnation again.

Li Dakang, who had been leaning against the wall in silence, suddenly took a step forward and walked to the center of the command platform.

He didn't look at Sha Ruijin or Gao Yuliang.

He walked in front of Zhao Yuanchao, and in front of everyone's astonished gaze, he suddenly straightened up, then bowed deeply to Zhao Yuanchao.

Ninety degrees.

A member of the provincial standing committee and a powerful municipal party committee secretary paid such a great tribute to a military commander.

This is unheard of in the history of the Republic.

"Commander Zhao!"

Li Dakang stood up straight, his dark face showing an unprecedented seriousness and sorrow.

He raised his right hand, which was still bleeding and mangled, and his voice was like a loud bell.

"I, Li Dakang! On behalf of the four million people of Jingzhou City, and on behalf of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, express my deepest apology and highest respect to you and the heroic 20th Group Army!"

"Jinghai, it's my Jinghai! It's the place where I, Li Dakang, govern!"

"This horrific, unjust tragedy happened because of my dereliction of duty! It's my shame!"

His voice echoed in the command room, and every word seemed to be forged with blood and tears.

"I, Li Dakang, swear a blood oath here today, in front of the Party flag, the national emblem, and all the soldiers of the 20th Army!"

He suddenly pressed his bleeding right hand to his chest, and the blood instantly dyed his white shirt red.

"From this moment on, all of Jingzhou City's political and legal systems, including the police, procuratorate, and courts, will be placed under the command of the task force!"

"The task force will provide us with the personnel and guns we need! Anyone who dares to disobey, leak information, or interfere, I, Li Dakang, will be the first to personally skin him alive!"

"This case must be thoroughly investigated. All the wolves, tigers, leopards, demons, and monsters hiding in Jinghai must be brought out and hacked into pieces! I, Li Dakang, will jump from the tallest building in Jingzhou to thank the people of Jingzhou!"

These words are no longer just a statement of opinion.

This is a military order!

Moreover, this is the most distinct stance!

Li Dakang vowed to stand on Zhao Yuanchao's side until death.

Chapter 135: Pulled Down for Investigation

Sha Ruijin looked at Li Dakang in shock.

He knew that Li Dakang was upright, but he didn't expect that Li Dakang could be so upright and brave!

Gao Yuliang was even more stunned.

He looked at Li Dakang, who was like an enraged lion, and for the first time, he felt a sense of sympathy for this "barbaric bull" whom he had always looked down upon...

In awe.

The generals in the command room were also deeply moved by Li Dakang's blood oath.

They looked at the city party secretary, whose face was filled with anger, his right hand on his chest, and blood was dripping. There was less scrutiny and more respect in their eyes.

This is what a cadre should be like!

Zhao Yuanchao looked at Li Dakang, looking at his bloodshot eyes due to anger.

He was silent for a moment.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand and saluted Li Dakang with a standard military salute.

"Secretary Li, on behalf of the 20th Group Army, I accept your apology."

"But we need your action even more."

"It's time for the sky to brighten in Jinghai."

Li Dakang nodded heavily. He also raised his left hand and wiped his face. He didn't know whether it was sweat or tears.

"Chief Zhao, don't worry."

At this moment, they were no longer the commander and the secretary.

But they are two comrades fighting side by side for the same goal.

Sha Ruijin looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings.

He knew that Li Dakang's blood oath had completely tied himself, Zhao Yuanchao, and the 20th Army to a chariot.

This chariot will crush all the old structures in Handong officialdom with its thunderous force.

And he, as the provincial party secretary, must either become the driver of this chariot.
