Gao Yuliang followed closely behind and sat diagonally opposite Sha Ruijin.

He Liming and Ji Changming almost crawled onto the bus, found a seat in the last row, and sat down, wishing they could curl up into a ball.

The car door was closed, isolating the noise from the outside world.

The Coaster started smoothly, then accelerated suddenly, merged into the traffic at lightning speed, and rushed towards the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

The street scene outside the car window quickly receded, and the light and shadow flickered on Sha Ruijin's ashen face.

He never looked at anyone, just staring out the window.

But everyone in the car could sense that his suppressed anger was building up like a volcano about to erupt.

Finally, when the vehicle passed an intersection, Sha Ruijin slowly turned his head, his eyes like two knives, stabbing straight at Ji Changming in the back seat.

"Ji Changming."

His voice was not loud, but it was so cold that it could freeze the air in the car.

Ji Changming shuddered all over, raised his head suddenly, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

"Hou Liangping,"

Sha Ruijin squeezed every word out between his teeth. "You, as the Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate, cannot escape the blame for causing such a huge disaster!"

"Secretary...I...I..."

"You what?"

Sha Ruijin's voice suddenly rose, like a thunderclap in the small space.

"Are you trying to say you didn't know? Or do you want to say he didn't report it to you?"

"How did you manage to be the Chief Prosecutor?! The Anti-Corruption Bureau is your subordinate unit, and a Chief of Investigation had the audacity to bypass you and directly arrest an unidentified 'big shot', and you were completely unaware of it?!"

"This is dereliction of duty! This is malfeasance! Ji Changming, how can I explain this to the higher-ups? How can I explain this to the people of this province?"

Cold beads of sweat rolled down Ji Changming's forehead.

He knew that any excuses would be futile at this moment.

What Sha Ruijin wants is not an explanation, but how to resolve this crisis.

And he is the most suitable one.

We must give an explanation to our superiors.

"Secretary, I'm reflecting on this. It's my fault. I failed to supervise properly..."

"I...I'll ask Hou Liangping to release him immediately! I'll personally go and apologize!"

"Release him? Apologize?"

Sha Ruijin laughed out of anger.

"Do you think this is just a child's game? Catch him, let him go, say sorry, and that's it?"

He leaned forward and stared at Ji Changming with a look that almost wanted to eat him alive.

"Do you know who your good soldier arrested? The commander of the 20th Army, General Zhao Yuanchao! You want to apologize? Can you afford it?!"

"boom!"

A bomb exploded in Ji Changming's mind, and everything went blank in an instant.

He just felt dizzy and his ears were buzzing.

Ji Changming's eyes went dark, his body swayed, and he almost fell off his seat.

Sha Ruijin wanted to abandon him.

Abandon the car to save the handsome man!

Could it be that he doesn't intend to deal with Hou Liangping?

Hou Liangping didn't just poke a hole in the sky, he poked a hole in himself!

……

At the same time, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial People's Procuratorate.

In the office guarded by soldiers, Hou Liangping paced back and forth anxiously.

The interrogation room that once made him feel proud and confident that he had solved a shocking case has now become an indelible nightmare in his mind.

Zhao Yuanchao!

When he finally verified through special channels the true identity of the "old man" whom he had detained for two days and used all kinds of interrogation methods on, he felt that his whole world had collapsed.

He is not some corrupt official hiding in Handong, nor is he some business tycoon.

But it was the active-duty lieutenant general, commander of the 20th Army, the legendary figure who enjoyed a great reputation in the military and was even idolized by his wife Zhong Xiaoai, the hawkish general - Zhao Yuanchao!

Cold sweat soaked his back.

The confidence and decisiveness that he was proud of were shattered by the three words "Zhao Yuanchao".

He didn't just catch a big fish, he harpooned a sleeping prehistoric giant shark!

He's done.

This thought was screaming wildly in his mind.

This is no longer just a matter of ruining one's career; it is a catastrophic disaster that is enough to trigger a huge political earthquake!

He, Hou Liangping, a mere director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, actually secretly detained a group army commander with a large number of troops under his command!

He didn't dare to imagine Secretary Sha Ruijin's reaction after he found out, nor did he dare to imagine what would happen to Prosecutor General Ji Changming.

I can’t even imagine what kind of impact this incident will have on the entire Handong officialdom, and even higher levels.

Panic washed over him like a tide.

He slumped down in his chair, his head in his hands, his fingers tangled in his hair.

The "Monkey King" that he was proud of really broke the sky this time.

How to do?

How to do?

In extreme fear, he thought of someone.

With trembling hands, he took out his cell phone from his pocket, and his pale and distorted face was reflected on the screen.

He swiped the screen, found the familiar number, and dialed it.

Wife...

The phone rang a few times and then was connected.

"Hello? Liangping, are you done?"

Zhong Xiaoai's usual calm and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

To Hou Liangping at this moment, this sound sounded like the sound of nature.

"Xiao Ai..."

His voice was extremely hoarse and trembling in an undisguised way.

Zhong Xiaoai immediately noticed something was wrong.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Her voice suddenly became serious.

Hou Liangping took a deep breath, but felt his chest was even more blocked. He leaned against the cold wall and used all his strength to squeeze out a few words from his throat.

"I...I'm in big trouble."

He didn't know how to explain it to Zhong Xiaoai.

Should I tell her that I had interrogated General Zhao Yuanchao, whom she admired the most, for two days as a corrupt official?

He could even imagine the shocked expression on Zhong Xiaoai's face when she heard the name "Zhao Yuanchao".

He didn't dare to say it, and couldn't say it.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhong Xiaoai's intelligence and political sensitivity were fully demonstrated at this moment.

She did not ask for details. She knew that the seriousness of the matter, which made Hou Liangping say "I'm in big trouble", was beyond her imagination and could not be explained clearly over the phone.

A moment later, her steady and powerful voice sounded again, like a shot of adrenaline, injecting Hou Liangping's nerves that were on the verge of collapse.

"Liangping, don't worry."

"Don't panic, the sky won't fall."

Her voice was not loud, but it carried undeniable power.

"I'll take care of the things you can't solve!!"

……

Thanks to my brothers for their support, I will update with four more gifts.

Continue to ask for four gifts.

I'm typing now, and will update after receiving four gifts.

Chapter 45 General Zhao Yuanchao, found!

Zhong Xiaoai said, "I'll take care of it for you."

Let his tense body lean against the wall and relax slightly.

Yes, he also has Xiao Ai.

Even if the sky falls, there is still his wife, a woman who holds a high position in the Discipline Inspection Commission, has a strong background, and can always show him a way out when he needs it most.

He seemed to have grasped the last straw, his Adam's apple rolled, and he was eager to tell the whole story of this disaster.

"Xiao Ai, I caught..."
