The air was dead.

In the end, it was Gao Yuliang who broke the suffocating silence.

He took a deep breath and used all his strength to make himself look less embarrassed.

"We are under investigation."

His voice was a little hoarse, and every word he said was extremely difficult.

He knew that from this moment on, they were no longer high-ranking provincial leaders, but suspects awaiting trial.

Sha Ruijin looked over Zhou Shoujing's shoulder, toward the door, his voice filled with suppressed anxiety: "How is Commander Zhao now? Can we... go see Commander Zhao?"

This is his biggest concern now.

Zhao Yuanchao's life or death directly determines the nature of this incident and their future fate.

Zhou Shoujing's eyes finally showed some movement, a flash of coldness passing by.

"Commander Zhao is in critical condition at the Handong Military Region Hospital."

"rescue……"

These two words were like two bullets, accurately shooting into the hearts of four people.

Sha Ruijin's body swayed violently and he almost couldn't stand.

Oh shit!

Hou Liangping, ah Hou Liangping!

Let me see how the Zhong family can protect you this time!

……

There will be three updates today.

I know my writing is not good, please correct me, but...

I really can't write, I'm a newbie, please forgive me, but I will try my best to learn how to write...

Chapter 51: You, Zhong Xiaoai, still want to protect Hou Liangping? You are so proud!

The convoy was like the silent provincial anti-corruption bureau building, shrouded in a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Sha Ruijin, Gao Yuliang, Ji Changming and He Liming walked out of the building with heavy steps and solemn expressions.

Zhou Shoujing and several officers followed behind them, neither too far nor too close, giving a strong sense of oppression.

He Liming's legs went weak, and if the two soldiers behind him hadn't held up his arms, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Rescue means that General Zhao’s life is in danger.

It’s over.

This thought made everyone feel like the sky was falling.

Zhou Shoujing said no more, just nodded slightly and made a "please" gesture.

Four people followed Zhou Shoujing out of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

The cold wind blowing on their faces cleared their minds.

It was during this Qingming Festival that they felt more clearly the anger of the soldiers of the 20th Army.

Several black cars with military license plates were parked quietly downstairs with their lights off.

"This Hou Liangping! This idiot who can't do anything good but always causes trouble!"

Sha Ruijin could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. He growled softly at the empty yard, his voice distorted by extreme anger.

His usually gentle and refined face was now ferocious.

"How could they raise such a person? He has no respect for organization! No respect for discipline! Who else does he care about?!"

While cursing, he walked quickly towards the car. If he stayed for another second, he would be contaminated by Hou Liangping's stupidity.

"Secretary Sha is right! Hou Liangping is simply lawless!"

Ji Changming also echoed, his face livid, his hands clenched into fists. "I told him a long time ago that we need to follow procedures and be cautious when handling cases! He just wouldn't listen! He insisted on having his own way! Now look what happened, the sky is broken!"

His words were half anger and half self-defense to shirk responsibility.

Gao Yuliang got into the car with a gloomy face and said nothing.

Even now, Sha Ruijin is still playing tricks on him...

He had already made up his mind to completely cut off ties with Hou Liangping, the disaster.

Not to mention a student, even if he is your own son, if it comes to this, you have to kick him out!

The Zhong family?

Humph, no matter how powerful the Zhong family is, can it be more powerful than the military that holds military power?

Could it be more important than the weight of an active-duty general who is being rescued?

Hou Liangping, you're finished.

He couldn't argue now.

His anger was deeper than anyone else's.

What Hou Liangping pierced was more than just the sky.

He shook the entire political foundation of Handong!

He has put everyone in an irretrievable situation!

He even felt a little regretful now. Why did he agree to let such a young man come to Handong to disrupt the situation?

He Liming was the last one to get on the bus. He was shaking all over and kept muttering, "It's over... It's all over now... This is a huge mess..."

The car door slammed shut, blocking out the outside air but not the panic.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "He has caused such a big disaster, I want to see how his Zhong family can protect him this time!"

In this almost frozen silence, a clear and urgent female voice cut through the air without warning.

"Uncle Sha!"

There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice.

Sha Ruijin saw Zhong Xiaoai outside the cordon and did not stop at all.

"Teacher Gao!"

The voice sounded again, and this time the target was Gao Yuliang.

Gao Yuliang's anger, which had just subsided, was instantly rekindled by this familiar voice.

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the source of the sound out of the corner of his eye.

A dozen meters away, behind the temporary cordon, stood a familiar figure.

It’s Zhong Xiaoai.

She was wearing a beige windbreaker, her hair was a little messy from the night wind, and her face was full of anxiety.

She was waving her hands vigorously at them, trying to make them see her.

"Me! Zhong Xiaoai!"

She called out again, her voice now filled with pleading.

She thought that as long as they saw her, as long as Sha Ruijin, her father's old subordinate and Gao Yuliang, her husband's mentor, could say a word, she would be able to cross the yellow tape and go in to ask what was going on.

However, she was wrong.

Gao Yuliang's gaze moved past her face and then disappeared, his eyes as cold as a scalpel, without a trace of warmth.

He didn't even slow down, walked straight to the nearest car, opened the door and got in.

The action was done in one go, without any hesitation.

That glance was like a basin of ice water, pouring from the top of Zhong Xiaoai's head to the bottom of her feet.

The smile on her face faltered.

Sha Ruijin never looked in her direction from beginning to end.

His eyes were always looking straight ahead, and the woman outside the cordon did not exist at all.

He got into the car with an expressionless face, and Zhou Shoujing personally closed the door for him.

Ji Changming and He Liming saw Zhong Xiaoai and heard her cry.

They looked at each other and saw panic and avoidance in each other's eyes.

Ji Changming lowered his head, quickly followed, and got into Gao Yuliang's car.

He Liming wanted to curl himself up into a ball and almost trotted to the last car, for fear of making any eye contact with Zhong Xiaoai.

Treat it as if it were nothing.

These four words are the most accurate description of the situation before us.

Zhong Xiaoai's hand was still frozen in mid-air, neither waving nor letting go.

She watched the black car doors slam shut, completely isolating her from the world inside the car.

The roar of the engine was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

The convoy did not stop at all. The tires rubbed against the ground, making a sharp sound, and then rushed out like an arrow.

The black car body quickly blended into the night, leaving behind only the choking exhaust gas and the swirled dust, which fluttered down on Zhong Xiaoai and on her rapidly sinking heart.

She stood there blankly, watching the red dot of the car lights disappear around the corner of the street.

The armed police and staff around her were all doing their jobs, and no one even looked at her.

She became a transparent person, completely excluded from this tense and solemn world.

How could this be?

Uncle Sha...
