Various expensive medical instruments surrounded a bed, making a monotonous and regular "beeping" sound.

On the bed, Zhao Lichun was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, half leaning against the headboard.

His hair was gray, his face was sallow, and there was an oxygen tube in his nose. He really looked like an elderly patient.

But when he saw Zhao Yuanchao pushing the door open and the string of shining generals behind him, an almost crazy resentment instantly burst out from his turbid eyes.

He knew it was all over.

But he was unwilling to do so.

"Ha ha……"

A dry laugh came from Zhao Lichun's throat. He pulled the corners of his mouth, as if trying to make a contemptuous expression, but the muscles on his face were not very obedient.

"Aiding Korea, what's all this fuss about? Do you really need to bring the entire military district over to see an old man like me?"

His voice was hoarse, but full of bitter sarcasm.

Zhao Yuanchao walked to the bedside with an expressionless face. Behind him, Sha Ruijin, Governor Liu and others also filed in. More than a dozen generals were like a wall, blocking all the space at the door and turning the ward into an airtight courtroom.

Zhao Yuanchao did not answer Zhao Lichun's question.

He simply reached out, pinched the wire connected to the heart rate monitor on Zhao Lichun's wrist with two fingers, and gently pulled it out.

"Beep--" The smooth wavy line on the instrument screen instantly turned into a glaring straight line, and a sharp and continuous alarm sounded.

This sound, like an awl, pierced the eardrums of everyone present.

Zhao Lichun's pupils suddenly shrank.

"you!"

He was so angry that he was shaking all over and pointed at Zhao Yuanchao, "You...what do you want to do?!"

Zhao Yuanchao threw the wire on the ground, then picked up the medical record book next to it, flipped through two pages at random, and read a boring report.

"Old Chief,"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to every corner of the room, carrying an undeniable coldness. "Stop pretending. Your body is in much better shape than I thought. This little trick may fool local comrades, but it won't work in front of me."

He slammed the medical record book shut and threw it back on the table.

"Jingxin Villa is the land you approved. Zhao Ruilong is your son. One of the three girls in the villa's basement is not even sixteen years old."

With every word Zhao Yuanchao spoke, he took a step forward.

His figure continued to grow in Zhao Lichun's eyes, like a mountain slowly pressing down.

"You...you are so slanderous!"

Zhao Lichun was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently. He was like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation, trying to make a final struggle.

"I never interfere with Ruilong's business! How would I know about those messed up things? You are a soldier, you can't slander the leaders out of thin air!"

"Leading cadres?"

Zhao Yuanchao smiled, but there was no warmth in that smile.

"Your son is a tyrant in Handong, bullying the people, and you turned a blind eye. He's manipulating power and meddling in personnel matters, and you're his backer. Now, to clean up your mess, he's even dared to attack my soldiers!!"

Zhao Yuanchao's voice suddenly rose, like thunder out of the blue!

"Zhao Lichun! Tell me, where are my soldiers?!"

He almost shouted the last sentence.

The anger that had been pent up for a long time, like a landslide and tsunami, finally erupted completely at this moment.

The air in the entire room froze at his roar.

Zhao Lichun was shocked by this terrifying momentum and his face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

He could feel that the man in front of him was not interrogating him or trying to scare him, but was really determined to kill him.

"I...I don't know..."

His voice trembled and his eyes avoided, "I don't know anything..."

"do not know?"

Zhao Yuanchao straightened up and looked at him coldly, "It doesn't matter, you will know soon."

He turned around and said to Tian Guofu behind him, "Secretary Tian, ​​our military has already handed over all the evidence. The suspects are also here. The next steps will be handed over to the 20th Army, and the military court will take over."

Tian Guofu pushed his glasses and nodded with a serious expression.

Sha Ruijin and Governor Liu did not speak from beginning to end.

They just watched quietly.

The scene before them was beyond all their past experience in political struggles.

This is not a negotiation or a compromise, but a unilateral, crushing verdict.

Zhao Lichun looked at this scene and his heart sank to the bottom.

He knew that Zhao Yuanchao did not come alone.

Standing behind him were Sha Ruijin, Governor Liu, and Li Dakang, representing the entire Handong Provincial Party Committee.

The appearance of Tian Guofu means that the organizational process has started.

All his escape routes were blocked.

But he was still unwilling.

He has shed blood for this country and climbed to this position. He cannot just be dragged down like a dead dog.

A final flash of madness passed through his eyes, and he suddenly looked towards Sha Ruijin.

"Sha Ruijin! Don't be so complacent! If you let him do this to me today, he can do the same to you tomorrow! You'll regret letting a wolf into your house!"

Sha Ruijin's eyelids twitched, but his face remained calm.

Zhao Lichun turned to Governor Liu and said, "Old Liu! We've been friends for so many years! And you just watched them treat me like this?"

Governor Liu sighed and avoided his gaze.

Zhao Lichun was completely desperate.

He grabbed the bedside phone as if it were his last straw.

"I want to call the capital! I want to report the situation! You are acting lawless! This is a mutiny!"

With trembling hands, he was about to press the number.

Zhao Yuanchao watched Zhao Lichun's performance quietly.

However, Zhao Lichun raised his arm but was unable to dial the number.

Chapter 137 The Lost Soldiers! Found Them!

Zhao Lichun was completely desperate.

He grabbed the bedside phone as if it were his last straw.

"I want to call the capital! I want to report the situation! You are acting lawless! This is a mutiny!"

With trembling hands, he was about to press the number.

Zhao Yuanchao watched his performance quietly without stopping him.

However, Zhao Lichun raised his arm but was unable to dial the number.

It wasn't that he didn't want to dial, but he found that his hands were completely out of control and were shaking so much that he couldn't even press the keys correctly.

Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Chief of Staff Zhou Shoujing walked in quickly. Without looking at anyone, he walked straight to Zhao Yuanchao and saluted.

"Report to the commander!"

There was urgency in his voice.

Zhao Yuanchao's gaze shifted away from Zhao Lichun's desperate face and turned towards him.

"explain."

"Just got the news!"

Zhou Shoujing lowered his voice, but everyone in the room heard it clearly, "Our people found Ye Cunxin and An Ran in an abandoned warehouse in Jinghai Port!"

Fire Phoenix!

Zhao Yuanchao's pupils suddenly shrank, and a murderous aura even colder than when he faced Zhao Lichun just now burst out from him in an instant.

Everyone present felt that the temperature in the ward had dropped a few degrees.

"How are they doing?"

Zhao Yuanchao's voice was fished out from the ice cellar.

"Both are unconscious and show signs of having been sedated, but their vital signs are stable. They have been rushed to the base hospital by our personnel."

Zhou Shoujing reported quickly, "No one else was found at the scene, but we found this."

He handed over an evidence bag, which contained a strangely shaped bullet casing.

Zhao Yuanchao took it and took a look, his eyes became even gloomier.

This is not a domestic standard bullet.

This is a special bullet commonly used by NATO special forces.

"Where are Leng Feng and He Chenguang?"

Zhao Yuanchao's voice was interrogating, word by word.

Zhou Shoujing lowered his head.

"Report to the commander, no trace of them has been found yet."

"boom!"
