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

This face...

Why does this face look so familiar?!

Chen Hai's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.

He stumbled back two steps and bumped into the filing cabinet behind him with a dull thud.

He remembered!

Just an hour ago, Hou Liangping called him excitedly and said that they had caught a "big fish", a corrupt official named Zhao Yuanchao from Beijing. He was very tough and was wasting time with him in the interrogation room.

At that time, he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Hou Liangping was eager to make a contribution again. He reminded him to pay attention to the policies and hung up the phone.

Zhao Yuanchao...

Zhao Yuanchao!

Two names, two faces, overlapped and intertwined madly in Chen Hai's mind, and finally merged perfectly into one.

The middle-aged man sitting in the interrogation chair with calm eyes.

The elegant general who was about to use Dongfeng missiles to wipe out the enemy while chatting and laughing on the podium of the Supreme Military Academy.

It's the same person!

"Oh my God……"

Chen Hai's lips trembled and his face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

Cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, soaking his back in an instant.

Hou Liangping!

What on earth did his ignorant subordinate do?!

He arrested the commander of the 20th Army, a powerful general who commanded a large number of troops and could overturn the table at any time, as a corrupt official?

Still in the interrogation room, threatening to "take action" on someone?

What means will be used?

"Physical pain"?

When Chen Hai thought about what Hou Liangping might have said and done to Zhao Yuanchao, he felt dizzy and almost fainted.

This isn't just a matter of arresting the wrong person; this is a complete disaster!

This is a catastrophic disaster that could trigger conflicts between the military and local governments, or even a huge political storm!

He didn't bother to turn off the projector, nor did he care about the tea leaves and broken cups scattered on the floor. He turned around abruptly, used all his strength to open the door of the screening room, and rushed out.

"Liang Ping! Hou Liang Ping!"

His voice was shrill and piercing with extreme fear, echoing in the empty corridor.

He must stop that idiot immediately!

just now!

immediately!

Chapter 41 Hou Liangping was frightened! He is really General Zhao Yuanchao...

Chen Hai rushed to the interrogation room like a madman.

The leather shoes made a harsh and chaotic sound when they stepped on the smooth ground.

A series of out-of-control drum beats hit his own heart that was about to explode.

"Hou Liangping!"

He roared, his voice echoing in the corridor, sounding even more shrill.

The door to the interrogation room was closed.

But the door of the observation room next door was ajar, and a little light came through.

Chen Hai kicked open the door of the observation room without thinking.

"boom!"

The door hit the wall with a loud noise.

He saw Hou Liangping at first sight.

Hou Liangping was leaning back in his chair, interrogating Zhao Yuanchao from a superior position.

There was a determined and smug smile on his face.

That posture was like a hunter who had cornered his prey and was enjoying the moment of tranquility before finally closing the net.

This leisurely and contented look was like a bucket of boiling oil, instantly poured onto the raging fire that Chen Hai had already ignited.

"Hou Liangping! Get the hell out here!"

Chen Hai's eyes were bloodshot. He rushed over, disregarding any procedures, roughly unlocked the door of the interrogation room and pulled the door open.

Inside the interrogation room, Hou Liangping faced the quietly seated man, his voice filled with oppression and subtle excitement: "I'll give you one last chance. How long can your psychological defenses hold out? One hour? Two hours? Don't waste time. It's good for neither you nor me."

Before he could finish his words, a huge force attacked from the side and rear, suddenly grabbing the back of his collar, lifting him up from the chair and dragging him backwards.

Hou Liangping was caught off guard and stumbled, and was dragged out by Chen Hai.

He was furious and without thinking, he turned around and pried the hand apart, cursing.

"Chen Hai! What the hell are you doing?! I'm going to interrogate you soon! What are you doing?!"

Chen Hai is simply unreasonable. Seeing that the big fish is about to speak, why does he come here to disrupt the situation?

Disrupting the interrogation is a big taboo!

Chen Hai ignored Hou Liangping's resistance and dragged him out of the interrogation room in two steps. Then, with a "clang", he slammed the door shut, isolating the terrifyingly calm figure in the interrogation room.

In the corridor, Chen Hai pushed Hou Liangping against the wall and grabbed his collar tightly with both hands.

The force was so strong that Hou Liangping's neck was strangled and he could hardly breathe.

"Hou Liangping!"

Chen Hai's voice was no longer a roar, but a hoarse growl squeezed out by extreme fear, and his saliva sprayed on Hou Liang's face!

"You've caused a terrible disaster!"

Hou Liangping was frightened by his appearance, but his pride in wanting to make a contribution quickly overwhelmed that slight surprise.

"Chen Hai, are you crazy? What trouble have I caused? I caught a corrupt official and can immediately bring down Ding Yizhen! This is a great achievement! A huge achievement!"

"Hou Liangping! That's Zhao Yuanchao!"

"The person you've captured is General Zhao Yuanchao, the commander of the 20th Army!"

Hou Liangping suddenly laughed!

The laughter was particularly harsh in the tense atmosphere. "Are you serious? Chen Hai, don't be fooled! He just said he was a general! General Zhao Yuanchao! Hahahaha! Ridiculous, isn't it? Who does he think he is? He thinks he can scare us by just saying a random name? He's clearly just making excuses, trying to confuse us and buy time!"

"If he is Zhao Yuanchao, I am Sha Ruijin!"

He felt that Zhao Yuanchao's tricks were too low-level, and Chen Hai's reaction made him even more disappointed.

How could such a simple psychological tactic scare the usually calm Chen Hai?

"You do not believe?"

Chen Hai's facial muscles twitched violently. He looked at Hou Liangping's still smug face, closed his eyes in despair, and when he opened them again, there was only destruction and madness in them.

"Hou Liangping, open your fucking dog eyes wide and look at me!"

Chen Hai loosened one hand and took out his cell phone from his pocket tremblingly.

Because his fingers were shaking so badly, he tried unlocking it several times before he succeeded.

He quickly opened a video file he had just copied from the computer, and then shoved the phone screen in front of Hou Liangping's eyes, almost touching his nose.

"Look! Look carefully! This is the 'liar' you were talking about!"

The phone screen lit up and a video began to play.

The footage is not evidence of a candid photo shoot, but rather shows an extremely formal occasion.

The background is a huge electronic screen, on which is displayed a line of eye-catching characters - "Future Geopolitical Pattern and the Strategic Development Direction of Our Army".

A man in a dark uniform without any rank insignia was standing in front of the podium.

He has an upright posture, an elegant demeanor, and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looks more like a university professor than a soldier.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the invisible, suffocating feeling of oppression came over him through the small screen of his mobile phone.

"...the future landscape will not be the multipolar balance we imagine; that is just the dream of idealists."

The voice in the video was steady and unhurried, each word clear and powerful. "It will inevitably be a situation of two superpowers and multiple superpowers. This is determined by the economic foundation and military strength, and cannot be changed by anyone's will."

Hou Liangping's pupils suddenly shrank.

This voice...

"And between these two superpowers, we and the country across the Pacific are bound to engage in a struggle that will last for hundreds of years. This is not a struggle of ideologies, but a struggle for living space, a struggle for world dominance, and the ultimate contest of civilizations. There is no retreat."

The general in the video pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the light from the podium, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"So, stop dreaming that peace and development are the themes of the times. Struggle is the eternal theme. For soldiers, our sole mission is to secure living space for the country for the next century. How will we secure this? Not with words at the negotiating table, but with the sword in our hands."

Hou Liangping's breathing stopped.

His mind went blank.

The video continued, and the elegant general spoke the most shocking words in the calmest tone, painting a magnificent, bloody and cruel picture of future wars.

And the man in the picture who was talking so eloquently and so confidently...

That face...

That calm and confident face with gold-rimmed glasses...

Hou Zaiping's gaze was nailed to the screen of his mobile phone, and then he turned stiffly, inch by inch, to the tightly closed door of the interrogation room next to him.

Through the small observation window in the door, he could see the vague silhouette of the man inside.
