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

But now, in order to save her husband, she must abandon all her pride and dignity, and beg for a slim chance of forgiveness in the most primitive and tragic way.

Tears seeped out from between her fingers and fell hotly on the back of her cold hand.

But the crying only lasted a minute.

She suddenly raised her head and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand.

Qi Tongwei hung up the phone.

Zhong Xiaoai's desperate "I'm going to kneel" was a testament to her fiery character.

The phone rang again.

Came a voice he was all too familiar with.

Stay calm and keep the overall situation in mind.

It’s Gao Yuliang.

"Tongwei, come to the Jingzhou Military District Hospital immediately."

Gao Yuliang's voice was concise and his commanding tone left no room for questioning.

"The situation is very serious. Zhao Yuanchao has been admitted to the emergency room and his life is uncertain. Secretary Ruijin and Comrade Dakang have already gone there. You must also come immediately."

Every word was like a bullet, hitting Qi Tongwei's nerves accurately.

"Yes, teacher! I'll leave right away!"

He didn't even dare to ask any more questions. He hung up the phone, grabbed the police jacket on the back of the chair and rushed out.

The light in the corridor was pale, stretching his shadow very long.

The police car was already on standby downstairs.

When the driver saw him rushing out with a serious expression, he immediately opened the back door.

Qi Tongwei bent down to get into the car. At the moment the door was about to close, his eyes inadvertently swept outside the cordon.

In the darkness of the night, a thin figure stood there alone.

It’s Zhong Xiaoai.

She really didn't leave.

Qi Tongwei paused.

"Wait a moment."

He said to the driver.

The police car slowly slid to the cordon.

The car window rolled down smoothly and Qi Tongwei greeted him.

"Get in the car."

Zhong Xiaoai, who was outside the cordon, suddenly raised her head and saw Qi Tongwei in the car. She froze.

She didn't expect him to stop.

She never expected that he would let her get in the car.

It was the car of the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and the license plate number was recognized by almost everyone in Handong Province.

What does it mean to sit in this car?

After a moment of hesitation, there was great ecstasy and gratitude.

She almost used her hands and feet to get around the front of the car, and an armed police officer opened the door for her.

"Thank you... Thank you, Senior Qi..."

She got into the car, huddled awkwardly in the corner, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and thanked him repeatedly.

The space inside the car is spacious, but it seems extremely depressing because of the silence.

Zhong Xiaoai could smell the faint scent of leather in the car, as well as the faint scent of tobacco on Qi Tongwei.

She didn't dare look at him, and could only lower her head, her voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and gratitude: "Senior Qi, I... I really don't know how to thank you. This kindness, our family..."

"No need."

Qi Tongwei interrupted her coldly.

His voice was like an icy edge in winter, instantly piercing the warmth that had just ignited in Zhong Xiaoai's heart.

The car started smoothly and merged into the city traffic.

Zhong Xiaoai's words of gratitude were stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down, and her face turned red.

She didn't understand why he suddenly became so cold.

Qi Tongwei didn't look at her, but just looked straight ahead.

"I let you get on the bus not out of sympathy or any alumni friendship."

His voice was not loud, but it reached Zhong Xiaoai's ears clearly, and every word carried a thousand pounds of weight.

"I'm just giving you a ride and telling you something."

Zhong Xiaoai's heart was in her throat, and she had a bad feeling.

"Do you know why General Zhao Yuanchao suddenly became critically ill and was sent to the emergency room?"

His words were like a sharp wedge, driving into Zhong Xiaoai's heart without any warning.

Zhong Xiaoai's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition instantly gripped her.

She shook her head subconsciously and moved her lips, but no sound came out.

Qi Tongwei finally turned his head and looked at her.

There was no sympathy, no pity, not even the slightest emotional fluctuation in those eyes, only an unfathomable calmness.

"Because of Hou Liangping,"

He spoke each word with great emphasis, each one like a hammer, hammering down on Zhong Xiaoai's nerves. "In the interrogation room, General Zhao Yuanchao was tortured."

torture--!

Zhong Xiaoai suddenly felt like the sky was falling!

……

At this time, Hou Liangping was still waiting for Zhong Xiaoai to rescue him.

He also believed that with the power of the Zhong family, everything could be settled!

Chapter 54 Hou Liangping is completely finished!

torture!

These two words, like two black lightning bolts, split Zhong Xiaoai's entire world apart!

Her mind buzzed and went blank in an instant.

Time stood still at this moment.

The neon lights outside the car window flickered strangely, pulling out distorted light and shadows in her pupils, but could not illuminate her heart that was instantly swallowed by darkness.

torture?

Liangping...

To a general of the Republic...

torture?

how can that be!

This is absolutely impossible!

Liang Ping is so upright, so...

However, Qi Tongwei's frighteningly calm eyes told her that this was not a lie or a threat, but a fact that had already happened and was irreversible.

A biting chill suddenly shot up from her tailbone and instantly spread throughout her limbs.

Her blood froze at this moment, her hands and feet were cold, and even her fingertips were shaking violently uncontrollably.

She opened her mouth, wanting to retort, wanting to scream, but found that her throat was tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and she couldn't make a sound.

It’s over.

This thought, like a bullet filled with poison, pierced through all her luck and fantasy.

If the previous one was just a big disaster, then now it has blown the sky apart.

To lynch an active-duty army commander, a general with a powerful military command and a powerful background...

This is no longer a simple violation of discipline or dereliction of duty, it is a provocation to the entire army!

This is digging your own grave!

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai finally understood why her father's tone was so desperate and why the entire Handong officialdom was so silent.

No wonder...

No wonder...

Qi Tongwei saw her reaction clearly, but was not moved at all.

He turned his gaze forward again, his tone still calm.

"I asked you to get in the car because I wanted to tell you something. This matter can't be solved by just kneeling down."

His voice was so cold that it broke through her last line of defense.

"Now, no one can save Hou Liangping. No one."

"The only thing you can do now is to stop causing trouble for your father. He can't take it anymore."

Zhong Xiaoai's body shook violently, and her last bit of strength was drained away, causing her to slump against the seat.

The blood color on his face had completely drained away, leaving only a horrifying paleness.
