She finally understood what Qi Tongwei's "good intentions" were.

It was not charity, nor sympathy, but a sobering and cruel slap in the face.

He wasn't here to save Hou Liangping, he wasn't even here to help her.

He just came to tell her a fact: the game is over.

She and Hou Liangping were defeated miserably.

Father……

Even my father can’t bear it anymore…

Zhong Xiaoai's eyes were completely dulled, and the resolute light in her pupils no longer existed.

Instead, there is boundless, abyss of fear and despair.

Hou Liangping tortured General Zhao Yuanchao...

It’s over.

This time, it's really over.

No one can save him.

Even the gods couldn't save him.

Heading to the armored vehicle of the Jingzhou Armed Forces.

"Clang——" A dull sound of metal collision.

Hou Liangping finally came to his senses a little.

The carriage was dimly lit, with only a few rays of light filtering through the cracks in the iron sheets.

Four soldiers.

They were wearing full combat uniforms, helmets, and holding automatic rifles in their arms. They sat on either side of him, their bodies straight and motionless, like two lifeless statues.

He felt an icy touch on his wrists. He looked down and saw a pair of shiny military handcuffs tightly locking his hands.

The feeling of humiliation was like a basin of ice water, pouring over me from head to toe.

He, the director of the Investigation Department of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the acting director of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, was escorted by two soldiers like a prisoner.

Rage instantly overwhelmed reason.

"What do you want to do?!"

"Do you know who I am? You are committing a crime by privately detaining a state prosecutor!"

However, the two soldiers didn't even raise their eyelids, still looking straight ahead with their guns pointed downwards, and Hou Liangping was just air.

This complete disregard embarrassed him more than any insult.

He was used to the awe-filled or fearful looks of the suspects in the interrogation room, and used to being respectfully addressed as "Director Hou" wherever he went.

But now, all his identities and halos vanished in front of these two expressionless soldiers.

"I'm telling you! You're going to regret this!"

He raised his voice, trying to overwhelm the other person with his momentum.

"I'm the son-in-law of the Zhong family! My father-in-law is Zhong Zhengsheng! Just try to touch me!"

He emphasized the word "Zhong family" very much. This was his last and most proud trump card.

However, apart from the roar of the engine and the sound of tires rolling over the road, the car was still dead silent.

The two soldiers seemed to be deaf.

No, they are not deaf.

They don't care.

This realization made Hou Liangping feel a little nervous.

He suddenly struggled up from his seat. The handcuffs hurt his wrists, but he didn't care. He just wanted to break the suffocating silence.

“You fucking…”

Before he could finish his words, the soldier on the right moved.

The hand wearing tactical gloves was as fast as lightning, yet as heavy as a mountain, and pressed down on Hou Liangsheng's shoulder.

An irresistible force came, and Hou Liangping felt like a child being pushed away by an adult. He had no power to resist, and was pressed back into his seat with a "bang".

A sharp pain shot through his shoulder, and even more painful was his dignity.

"You...you dare to hit me!"

His voice changed with shock and anger, almost shouting: "How dare you lay hands on the prosecutor!"

He stared at the soldier who pushed him, and there was finally a fluctuation in his eyes.

The butt of the gun plays the plot again.

Hou Liangping quickly covered his face.

A bone-chilling chill crept up Hou Liangping's spine.

He was afraid.

He was really scared.

These people did not belong to any system he was familiar with.

They don't care about rules or identities, they just follow orders.

"You will regret it!"

His last line of defense completely collapsed, and his voice was filled with tears that he himself hadn't noticed. "My wife is coming! She's from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection! She'll be here soon! Just wait!"

He brought Zhong Xiaoai out, like a child who lost a fight and went home to complain.

However, what responded to him was still the despairing silence.

The car drove for an unknown amount of time before it finally came to a stop.

With a "clang", the rear door of the carriage was opened from the outside, and dazzling light poured in. Hou Liangping subconsciously squinted his eyes.

"get off!"

A short and cold command.

He was held by two soldiers, one on each side, and almost dragged out of the car.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he saw the building in front of him clearly.

A gray, square building with a sign hanging at the door. The large gold-plated characters on it are particularly eye-catching in the sunlight - Jingzhou City People's Armed Forces Department.

"Give me a call, I need to make a call!"

"My wife is Zhong Xiaoai, and I am the son-in-law of the Zhong family. You can't interrogate me!"

Hou Liangping panicked.

Chapter 55 The military district is furious, and generals gather!

It is not the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, or the Discipline Inspection Commission's case handling point.

It’s the Armed Forces.

A place he had never set foot in, and never thought he would set foot in this way.

Several fully armed soldiers were already waiting at the door. Leading them was a middle-aged officer with the rank of colonel. He had a stern face and eyes like knives.

The two soldiers escorting him saluted the colonel and reported loudly: "Report to the Minister! The person has been brought here!"

Colonel Chen Weiguo just nodded slightly and glanced at Hou Liangping. There was no emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at an inanimate object.

"Bring it in."

He waved.

Hou Liangping was pushed roughly through the gate, across the empty playground, and into the gray building.

The corridor was empty, with only their heavy footsteps echoing, and every step seemed to step on his heart.

Finally, they stopped in front of a heavy iron door.

The iron door was opened, revealing a small room with nothing inside except a bare bed board.

"Get in!"

The soldier behind him pushed him again, and Hou Liangping staggered and fell directly to the cold concrete floor.

Before he could get up, the iron door behind him slammed shut with a bang.

The small window on the door closed with a click, blocking out the last bit of light.

The whole world instantly fell into endless darkness and silence.

Hou Liangping lay on the ground, his wrists burning with pain from the handcuffs. The severe pain in his shoulders was still spreading, but he could no longer feel it.

An unprecedented fear, like an icy tide, surged from all directions and completely submerged him.

Here, he is not Director Hou, nor is he the son-in-law of the Zhong family.

He is nothing.

Hou Liangping still had confidence at this time.

Zhong Xiaoai will rescue him.

Will!

Outside the Jingzhou Military Region General Hospital, the night was as heavy as iron.

The black government car cut through the silence, its tires making a screeching sound as they rubbed against the ground, and finally came to a sudden stop in front of the emergency building.

The car door was almost kicked open.

Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin was the first to get out of the car. His face was ashen and his cell phone was pressed against his ear.

Following closely behind were Gao Yuliang, Ji Changming and He Liming, all four of them with a lingering cloud of gloom on their faces.
