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

The younger nurse stammered in response, her voice trembling.

Zhao Yuanchao nodded slightly, his eyes full of sincerity.

He didn't say anything else, but the respect that came from the heart was worth more than a thousand words.

The nurses almost floated out of the ICU ward. After closing the door, the two of them leaned against the wall, patting their chests, with uncontrollable excitement and excitement on their faces.

"Oh my god, he called us the Lantern Goddess!"

"This general... is completely different from what I imagined. He's so elegant and respectful..."

At this time, in the hospital corridor.

The generals in the military region continued to attack Zhong Xiaoai, and the incident had now escalated to the Zhong family.

In the hospital corridor, the atmosphere was as solid as cement.

The two young nurses who had just come out of the ICU, their faces still flushed with excitement, ran into this human wall built of anger and pressure as soon as they turned the corner.

They fell silent instantly, huddled against the wall in fear, not daring to breathe.

The incandescent light from the corridor shone down palely, stretching the figures of several men in military uniforms with general stars on their shoulders into long and distorted shapes.

They were like several silent iron towers, surrounding Zhong Xiaoai in the middle.

"Girl of the Zhong family, you are quite courageous!"

A general with the rank of lieutenant general, a dark complexion, and scars at the corners of his eyes, spoke in a voice like a cannonball, exploding in the empty corridor, "How dare you touch someone from our 20th Army, especially the commander! Who gave you the courage?"

Zhong Xiaoai, the female director who was used to big scenes and sharp words in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, was now as pale as paper.

Her professional suit looked so thin, like paper next to those crisp military uniforms.

The calmness and eloquence that she was proud of were crushed in the face of the other party's unreasonable momentum that was purely tempered by blood and fire.

She moved her lips, forcing herself to speak, but her voice was very dry: "Generals, there is a misunderstanding. General Zhao Yuanchao has always been the soldier I admire most and my idol..."

She tried to ease the atmosphere by speaking in a respectful tone, as a junior would to an elder.

This is a technique she has used time and again in her ministry, using worship to eliminate the other party's hostility.

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by another loud shout.

"What a bullshit misunderstanding!"

Another major general with a burly figure and a loud voice took a step forward, and his military boots hit the floor with a dull "bang", as if knocking on everyone's heart.

"You, the Zhong family, are planning a rebellion?!"

The word "rebellion" was like two hot bullets, piercing through the hypocritical calmness in the corridor.

Sha Ruijin's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Gao Yuliang's hand hung at his side, and his fingertips curled up slightly.

These two words are too heavy.

It is heavy enough to crush any political family.

Zhong Xiaoai's body shook and she almost couldn't stand.

She never thought in her life that this hat would be put on her head and on the Zhong family's head.

She wanted to refute and scold the other party for slandering her, but the other party's bloodshot eyes, burning with rage, prevented her from saying a word.

That's not a look that makes sense; that's a look that's ready to tear the enemy to pieces.

"I think her husband from the Anti-Corruption Bureau is just the cannon fodder that your Zhong family is pushing forward!"

The scarred lieutenant general sneered, his eyes like knives slicing across Zhong Xiaoai's face. "You arrested our people, interrogated our people, and finally put them in the ICU! Zhong Xiaoai, according to wartime regulations, you can be shot directly for collaborating with the enemy and framing our senior generals! Do you believe it?"

"Shoot!"

As soon as these two words came out, the temperature in the corridor dropped to freezing point.

Sha Ruijin's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He finally realized that things were completely out of control.

These military commanders are not joking, they really want to kill.

When they said the word "shoot to death", it meant that they did not take Zhong Xiaoai's father, Zhong Zhengguo, who was far away in Beijing, seriously at all.

This is no longer an ordinary friction in the officialdom, nor is it a power struggle between the Discipline Inspection Commission and the military.

This is an open and undisguised declaration of war!

"We won't argue with you today. Let your father, Zhong Zhengguo, come to Handong in person! Let's see what he can say!"

Sha Ruijin and Gao Yuliang stood a few meters away, like two statues nailed to the ground, not daring to move or say a word.

They knew very well that anyone who spoke in defense of Zhong Xiaoai at this moment would be regarded as an accomplice and would bring trouble upon themselves.

The fire set by the military is burning too fiercely, and anyone who touches it will die.

Sha Ruijin's eyes were fixed on the generals' golden stars on their shoulders. The golden stars flashed with a terrifying cold light under the light.

He felt a long-lost sense of powerlessness and a fear that the situation was completely out of control.

As the top leader of Handong Province, his authority was completely gone in front of these generals who held military power.

His brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way out.

But his thoughts were in a mess, and only one thought became clearer and clearer: Zhao Mengsheng was on his way to Handong.

God knows what will happen.

Did he lead his troops into the provincial party committee compound?

Or just turn Handong upside down?

Sha Ruijin didn't dare to think further.

He felt his temples throbbing, and uncontrollable anger burned from the bottom of his heart, but his target was not the arrogant generals in front of him, but a person whom he wanted to strangle to death with his own hands.

Hou Liangping!

That conceited idiot!

That quick-success idiot!

Everything started from the moment that idiot handcuffed Zhao Yuanchao!

If it weren't for him, how could Zhao Yuanchao be attacked?

If it weren't for him, why would the military point the finger at Handong?

If it weren't for him, how could the Zhong family be accused of "rebellion"?

One thing leads to another, every step is thrilling, and now it is a bottomless abyss.

Sha Ruijin looked at Zhong Xiaoai, who was pale and on the verge of collapse due to the generals' momentum, and then looked at the old monk Gao Yuliang who was standing next to him with his eyes closed and in meditation, and his heart went cold.

He knew that the sky in Handong was about to change completely.

The so-called anti-corruption and reform have become a joke.

Now, it’s time to put down the rebellion.

A bloody "suppression of rebellion" against the Handong officialdom, led by the army, is about to begin.

Chapter 62 was dragged into this by Hou Liangping.

Jingzhou Military Region General Hospital.

Zhong Xiaoai's body was as stiff as a stone.

She could feel Sha Ruijin and Gao Yuliang almost stopping their breathing behind her.

The gazes of those generals were like poisonous ice spikes, piercing her whole body with pain.

Every word and every look told her that this was not a place for her to reason or show off her status.

She didn't dare stay for another second.

She bent down deeply and slowly, and bowed almost ninety degrees to the murderous faces in front of her.

This action drained all her strength and dignity from her body.

She didn't speak, and she couldn't speak.

Apologize?

excuse?

In front of the word "shooting", any language seems pale and ridiculous.

When she stood up, she didn't even dare to look into the eyes of those generals. She turned around, took a step with her legs that almost didn't belong to her, and walked out of the corridor that seemed to have no end, step by step.

Every step hit the cold ground, and the sound echoed in the silence, striking everyone's nerves.

She could feel those murderous gazes staring at her back until she turned the corner at the end of the corridor.

Only after leaving the suffocating atmosphere did Zhong Xiaoai's steps become unsteady. She held on to the wall, gasping for breath, cold sweat sliding down her forehead, soaking her temples.

She walked quickly out of the hospital building, and the cold evening wind blew on her face, making her shiver.

Looking back, the building of the Military Region General Hospital was brightly lit.

At the door, armed guards stood upright, their figures elongated under the light, appearing stern and cold.

Off-road vehicles with military license plates are parked quietly, silently declaring the sovereignty of this place.

This is already a military restricted area.

Zhong Xiaoai took out her cell phone from her bag tremblingly, and the bright light from the screen stung her eyes.

She swiped the screen and slid her finger across the address book several times before she tremblingly clicked on the familiar name - father.

The phone was dialed, and the receiver heard "beep...beep..."

Every sound of waiting struck her fragile heart. …

Beijing, Xishan.

Zhong Zhengguo's study was filled with the mixed scent of old books and precious sandalwood.
