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

Hou Liangping didn't give Chen Hai a chance to hesitate.

"Once Old Chen shows up, there's absolutely no way this matter can be suppressed! He went straight to the Provincial Party Committee compound to find Secretary Sha Ruijin! Tell me, in the entire Handong area, who dares not give Old Chen face? Who dares to stop an old revolutionary running around for his son? As soon as Secretary Sha meets with Old Chen, he must give us an explanation! He, Sha Ruijin, is the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, and Handong is his territory. Now the army is openly arresting his cadres. This is a slap in his face! He can't just sit there and watch!"

Hou Liangping's words were like a shot of confidence that injected Chen Hai's anxious heart with confidence.

Yes, he still has a father.

His father, Chen Yanshi, was upright all his life, and even the former provincial party secretary Zhao Lichun had to respect him.

After Secretary Sha Ruijin took office, he personally visited him and praised him as "our party's precious asset."

Now, the son of this "precious treasure", the anti-corruption director of Handong Province, has been locked up in a military detention cell for unknown reasons.

What if his father finds out?

Chen Hai's panic was slowly replaced by confidence. He walked to the iron gate and said to the man next door, "Monkey, don't worry! I know my dad's temper. If he knew about this, he would definitely go to Secretary Sha! With my old man's intervention, Secretary Sha will definitely protect us! Wait, let's get out together!"

"Yes! Let's go out together!"

Hou Liangping nodded heavily, even though the other party couldn't see it at all.

Two imprisoned men, separated by a thick wall, reached a consensus based on their blind trust in the authority of their elders.

As long as we move out of the two big mountains of "Chen Yanshi" and "Sha Ruijin", all the current troubles can be solved.

……

Can I ask for a gift?

Chapter 72 Let’s see who dares not give face to me, Chen Yanshi!

When Chen Hai and Hou Liangping were imprisoned in the Armed Forces Department's solitary confinement room.

In a small courtyard in the suburbs of Jingzhou.

The late summer sun shines through the grape vines, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Chen Yanshi was wearing reading glasses and carefully trimming the yellow leaves of a pot of Clivia with a pair of small scissors.

This pot of flowers was specially brought from Hainan by Sha Ruijin on his birthday. He has been raising it for several years and it has been growing well.

The phone rang suddenly, breaking the tranquility of the yard.

He put down the scissors and picked up the old-fashioned mobile phone on the table next to him with some displeasure.

It's an unfamiliar number.

"Hey?"

His voice was filled with impatience at being interrupted.

There was a cautious, almost trembling voice on the other end of the phone. It was from a young man in the provincial procuratorate office. Chen Hai had brought him to his home once before.

This time Chen Hai was taken away, and Chen Hai told him to call his father and get him back.

"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, I'm Xiao Wang..."

Chen Yanshi frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

"Chen... Director Chen... he..."

Xiao Wang on the other end of the phone was trying hard to organize his words, his voice full of fear, "Director Chen...he's been taken away!"

Chen Yanshi's hand holding the phone did not move at all.

The chirping of cicadas in the yard was suddenly eliminated.

"Who took him away? Where was he taken?"

His voice suddenly dropped.

"No... I don't know! It was a military vehicle! Right in front of the Provincial Procuratorate, several men in military uniforms got out and stuffed Director Chen into the car! They didn't say anything, didn't go through any formalities! We tried to stop them, but they... they had guns!"

military vehicle?

Got a gun?

Chen Yanshi's head buzzed.

He had experienced bullets and gunfire in his life, but he never imagined that in peacetime, his son, a prosecutor, would be taken away at gunpoint.

"Where's Monkey? Where's Hou Liangping?"

He immediately thought of another person.

"Director Hou... Director Hou was taken away too! They came back together from the Provincial Party Committee meeting!"

The top leaders of the two anti-corruption bureaus were openly abducted by the army at the gate of the Provincial Procuratorate.

Chen Yanshi hung up the phone, his face ashen, the wrinkles on his face as deep as if carved by a knife.

He stood there, his chest heaving violently, looking at the vegetable and flower gardens in front of him that he had taken care of with his own hands.

The sun was still warm, but he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Okay, okay..."

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with suppressed volcanic rage.

He thought of Qi Tongwei.

Before he became the director of the Public Security Bureau, that kid would come to his yard every now and then.

Later, when Secretary Sha Ruijin came to Handong, he ran even more diligently. In order to show his closeness to the veteran cadre, Qi Tongwei rolled up his trouser legs and helped him weed in the vegetable field. He was sweating profusely, but his face was full of ingratiating smiles.

At that time, he thought that although this kid was scheming, he at least knew how to respect old comrades.

"When Xiao Jinzi came, he was busy running around, calling me 'Uncle Chen' all the time, and he wanted to make progress!"

He snorted coldly at the air, his eyes filled with disdain: "Now that Chen Hai has been arrested, you, the Public Security Bureau Director, are hiding away in peace! You don't even fart!"

Is there anyone who has more face than me, Chen Yanshi?

You, Qi Tongwei, were so scared that you didn’t even dare to make a phone call!

He felt like his face was being trampled on the ground.

He, Chen Yanshi, participated in the Huaihai Campaign and worked in the procuratorial system for his entire life. He is a tough guy, so who wouldn't give him some face?

Now, his son, the director of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau, was arrested by the army for no apparent reason, and no one in the entire Handong officialdom informed him in advance!

This is simply a shame!

He picked up the phone on the table. His fingers trembled a little with anger, but he still accurately dialed out a number.

Li Dakang.

He remembered clearly that when Li Dakang was first transferred to Jingzhou to serve as the municipal party secretary, he made a special trip to visit him because of the matter of Ding Yizhen, the mayor of Guangming District, and his attitude was very respectful.

Li Dakang didn't dare not answer Chen Yanshi's call.

The call was dialed.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

A monotonous busy tone came from the receiver, over and over again, like a ruthless mockery.

No one answered.

Chen Yanshi's face became increasingly gloomy.

He dialed again.

The result is still the same.

"Good for you, Li Dakang!"

He slammed his phone on the table, making a dull "bang" sound.

The teacups on the table jumped.

"You've become so powerful, you've become so arrogant! How dare you avoid my son's affairs!"

He knew very well that there was only one possibility for Li Dakang not answering the phone - this matter was too big, so big that he, Li Dakang, did not dare to get involved, nor did he want to get involved.

No hope.

Can't count on any one!

Chen Yanshi no longer hesitated.

He turned and went into the house, took off his old sweatshirt that was full of dirt, and put on a blue Zhongshan suit that was washed white but still straight.

This is his most formal piece of clothing, which he only wears on important occasions.

He stood in front of the mirror, buttoned every button carefully, and combed his sparse white hair.

The old man in the mirror had eyes as sharp as an eagle and exuded an inviolable majesty.

He wants to go to Jingzhou in person.

He wants to go to the provincial party committee compound in person!

He wanted to ask Sha Ruijin whether there was still law in the Handong Province under his rule!

He wanted to see who was so bold as to touch his son, Chen Yanshi, and who dared not take him, Chen Yanshi, seriously!

Chen Yanshi walked out of the yard quickly and stopped a taxi on the side of the road.

"Go to the provincial party committee compound."

He opened the car door and got in. His voice was not loud, but it was commanding.

The driver looked at the old man in the rearview mirror. He looked righteous and not like an ordinary person. Without saying much, he stepped on the accelerator and the car merged into the traffic heading to the city.

Outside the car window, familiar scenery was rapidly receding.

From the quiet suburbs, to the increasingly dense buildings, and then to the bustling city.

Chen Yanshi said nothing, leaning on an old crutch that he had used for many years, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.

He looked straight ahead, two balls of anger burning in his cloudy eyeballs.

Scenes flashed through his mind like a movie.

His son Chen Hai has been upright and stubborn since he was a child, just like him.
