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

Teacher Gao...

them……

They didn't even pay attention to her?

That was not an ordinary failure to notice, nor was it a simple oversight.

It was a deliberate, callous disregard.

It is a decisive cut.

Unprecedented humiliation and coldness spread from the depths of his heart and instantly spread to every part of his body.

Zhong Xiaoai's hands and feet became cold. She subconsciously hugged her arms tightly, but she could not resist the chill from her heart.

It's not that they didn't see her, they saw her and chose to ignore her.

This realization is more hurtful than any harsh words.

She got it.

The trouble Hou Liangping caused was much bigger than she had imagined.

It was big enough to make these usually kind and amiable elders reveal such a cold and ruthless side.

They were not ignoring her, Zhong Xiaoai. They were using this method to show their resolute attitude to Hou Liangping and the Zhong family behind her.

They don't want to take on this mess, nor do they want to have anything to do with it. ...

Inside the car, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Gao Yuliang leaned back in the back seat with his eyes closed.

But what lingered in his mind was Zhong Xiaoai's face that was full of surprise and pleading.

He had no sympathy at all, only deeper anger.

Still dare to come?

Do you still have the nerve to come?

Your husband, my once most proud protégé, just nearly ruined the political careers of all of us!

Now you come over and call me teacher?

Gao Yuliang sneered in his heart.

teacher?

I, Gao Yuliang, don’t have such stupid students!

You, Zhong Xiaoai, still want to protect Hou Liangping?

You have such a great reputation!

I want to see how your Zhong family can protect Hou Liangping!

Chapter 52: Father Zhong admonishes Zhong Xiaoai: Do you think I can do anything?

Ji Changming secretly observed Gao Yuliang's expression through the rearview mirror, not daring to breathe.

Zhong Xiaoai's appearance just now made his heart skip a beat.

Fortunately, Secretary Gao and Secretary Sha held on.

If I had softened my heart and let her come over, there would probably be a hot potato in the car now.

In the front car, Sha Ruijin leaned back in his chair.

The street scene outside the window was rapidly receding, and his eyes were still filled with anger.

Of course he saw Zhong Xiaoai.

He knew it the moment the woman screamed for the first time.

But he couldn't stop, let alone look back.

At this time, any hesitation will be interpreted as an unstable stance.

Zhao Yuanchao is still receiving emergency treatment in the hospital, and his life or death is uncertain.

The military was watching nearby.

How could it be disgraceful for him, the provincial party secretary, to get involved with the family of a culprit who caused such a terrible disaster?

What he has to do now is not to appease anyone, but to rush to the military hospital immediately to understand the situation firsthand, and then come up with a remedial plan as quickly as possible, report it to his superiors, and explain it to the military!

As for Hou Liangping, as for the Zhong family...

Sha Ruijin's eyes darkened.

They must give an explanation for this matter.

An explanation that can calm the 20th Army.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She took out her cell phone from her bag, her fingertips a little stiff from nervousness.

She dug out the number she knew by heart and dialed it.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered.

"Xiao Ai?"

A calm and majestic voice came from the other end of the phone.

"dad,"

Zhong Xiaoai's voice trembled slightly, "Liang Ping... Liang Ping is in trouble."

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, as if digesting the news.

"I see."

There was no emotion in his father's voice. "I've heard about what's happening in Handong. Where are you now?"

"I was at the gate of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. I saw it with my own eyes... I saw him being taken away by a military vehicle."

"military vehicle?"

My father's voice finally changed. "The 20th Army, right?"

"Four military jeeps, at least sixteen soldiers, all armed."

"We need to take Liang Ping to the Jingzhou Armed Forces Department."

There was another long silence on the other end of the phone, so long that Zhong Xiaoai's heart sank.

Mr. Zhong on the other end of the phone must have a frown on his face.

"Dad, you must save Liangping! He...he didn't do it on purpose, he just wanted to investigate the case!"

"Xiao Ai,"

My father's voice became unusually serious. "Now is not the time to say whether he did it on purpose. Do you know who he arrested? Zhao Yuanchao! The commander of the 20th Army! Do you know Zhao Yuanchao's current condition? He's being treated at the military headquarters, but he's still in critical condition!"

Every word was like a piece of ice, hitting Zhong Xiaoai's heart.

"I...I know...but..."

"No buts! Do you think I can do anything?"

Her father interrupted her, "This matter is beyond anyone's control. Return to the capital immediately and don't get involved in Handong!"

"No!"

Zhong Xiaoai blurted out, "I'm not going back! Liangping is still here, I can't just leave like this! Dad, he's your son-in-law!"

"It is precisely because he is my son-in-law that you must come back immediately!"

The father's tone became stern. "If you stay there, not only will you not be able to help him, but you will become a target for others! Do you understand?!"

Zhong Xiaoai finally couldn't hold back her tears.

She understands, how could she not understand.

In such a vortex, her identity as the "eldest daughter of the Zhong family" is no longer a talisman, but the most conspicuous target.

"But...but what about Liang Ping? Are we just going to watch him..."

A tired sigh came from the other end of the line.

"I didn't say I don't care. But this matter cannot be handled in the usual way. You must return to Beijing immediately, do not contact anyone, and wait for my news. This is an order."

After that, the phone was simply hung up.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhong Xiaoai stood there, letting the tears flow down her cheeks.

She knew that her father was right.

But reason is one thing and emotion is another.

She couldn't leave her husband and escape alone at this time.

She wiped away her tears and her eyes became firm again.

She can't go.

At least, she must not leave until she is sure that Hou Liangping is safe.

She put away her phone and turned to walk towards the car parked not far away.

She was going to the Provincial Public Security Bureau to find Qi Tongwei.

Although she didn't have a good impression of Qi Tongwei, she even felt a little disgusted with his opportunistic look.

But now, as the director of the Public Security Department of Handong Province, Qi Tongwei is the only person she can find who has access to core information.

She needed to know what Hou Liangping would face after being taken to the Armed Forces Department.

Zhong Xiaoai sat in the driver's seat. The car was dead silent except for the sound of her own disordered breathing.

Her father's firm command on the phone was still echoing in her ears. Every word was like a cold iron chain, dragging her back to the capital and away from this huge vortex.

go back?
