It was a kind of pleasure after breaking free from humiliation, a twisted sense of satisfaction when seeing the high and mighty authority in the same predicament.

Li Dakang's brows were twisted into a knot, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, scanning back and forth between Sha Ruijin and Gao Yuliang.

Unlike He Liming, he was not gloating. He was quickly calculating the current situation and assessing the impact of this incident on the power structure in Handong.

Gao Yuliang, on the other hand, is like an audience member who has finally waited for the show to begin.

He slowly put down the purple clay teacup in his hand, and the bottom of the cup touched the mahogany table top, making a crisp and particularly harsh "thump".

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sound.

Gao Yuliang then raised his head, and looked at Sha Ruijin, whose face was as gloomy as water, with gentle eyes behind his glasses, and his tone was filled with just the right amount of concern and consideration.

"Secretary Sha, let's go see Mr. Chen."

Brothers, please give me some gifts.

Please give me ten gifts. I will update more if I give you four.

Typing.

Chapter 74: Carrying a plaque and kneeling in the military district! The leaders of the military district will also come forward for me!

Gao Yuliang carefully chose his words, then added slowly, "After all, he and you had a special relationship in the past. It's neither moral nor logical to let him wait at the door."

"The relationship is different."

He bit these six words neither lightly nor heavily, but they were like a soft knife dipped in poison, stabbing precisely into Sha Rui...

Jin's most embarrassing part.

Yes, the relationship is special.

Chen Yanshi’s only son Chen Hai was arrested, and this old revolutionary with “special relationship” came to his door.

This is not persuasion at all, it is clearly a reminder to everyone in the conference room: Look, you, Sha Ruijin, just talked about selflessness, now it’s your turn, can you do it?

Do your so-called principles still count in front of your "close comrades-in-arms"?

Sha Ruijin clenched his fists quietly under the table, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He could feel that more than a dozen eyes in the audience were focused on him like searchlights; some were watching the show, some were speculating, and some were waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

His authority was being eroded bit by bit by an old man far outside the provincial party committee and Gao Yuliang, the smiling but dagger in his heart, in front of him.

He can't go to see it.

Seeing it is like hitting yourself in the mouth.

The iron-fisted image of "impartiality" that he had just established would collapse in an instant.

How will he command the officials of Handong in the future?

But he couldn't avoid seeing her.

Let an octogenarian who has devoted his entire life to revolution wait at the door of the provincial party committee?

If word gets out, Sha Ruijin will be seen as an ungrateful, mean and ungrateful villain.

Political reputation will also plummet.

This is a dead end.

In this suffocating stalemate, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and this time there was no knock.

A tall and straight armed police captain walked in with standard goose-step. He walked straight to the conference table without looking around and saluted Sha Ruijin with a standard military salute.

"Report to Secretary Sha!"

The captain's voice was loud and powerful, booming in the silent conference room.

"Comrade Chen Yanshi is at the gate of the Provincial Party Committee and can't wait any longer. He demands to see you immediately. We've tried to persuade him according to regulations, but he's agitated and refuses to leave. A crowd is already gathering at the gate. To prevent the situation from escalating and disrupting the normal work order of the Provincial Party Committee, I'm here to ask for instructions on how to proceed!"

The presence of the armed police was like a huge rock thrown into the already turbulent lake, causing huge waves.

The military personnel went directly into the meeting room of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee to report on the security situation at the door!

This in itself is an extremely unusual signal.

The message it conveyed was that the situation at the door had gone beyond the capabilities of ordinary office staff and had risen to a level where armed forces were required to maintain order.

Now, the question is no longer whether Sha Ruijin wants to meet, but that he must give a clear instruction.

The armed police were watching him, the members of the Standing Committee present were watching him, and the crowds watching outside the door were like pairs of invisible eyes staring at him.

Sha Ruijin felt a chill on his back.

He felt like a prisoner being roasted on a fire, with the blazing flames of principles below him and the guillotine of public opinion hanging high above him.

He slowly leaned back in his chair, and the weight of his body was instantly taken away.

He raised his eyes, his gaze swept over Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang, He Liming, and finally landed on the armed police captain who was waiting for orders.

His Adam's apple rolled. This Sha Ruijin really rubbed his face on the ground!

He spoke hoarsely, his voice squeezed through a rusty iron pipe, "Tell the comrades at the door... to calm Mr. Chen down first. Tell them I'm in an emergency meeting and I'll see him as soon as it's over."

It's as good as saying nothing.

This is a procrastination, a weak struggle.

Everyone present here is a smart person. Who can't hear that this is just a delaying tactic by Sha Ruijin to buy himself some time to think?

Gao Yuliang picked up the teacup and looked at Sha Ruijin, asking how to solve the problem at hand.

At this time, at the gate of Handong Provincial Party Committee compound.

Chen Yanshi waited for twenty minutes, but Sha Ruijin didn't come to pick him up.

A wave of grievance came over me.

"Sha Ruijin! Get out here!"

Chen Yanshi's skinny body trembled in the cold wind, not because of the cold, but because of the anger burning in his bones.

His old Zhongshan suit, which had been washed out to a pale color, looked so out of place and so glaring at the solemn and dignified gate of the provincial party committee.

"Your father passed away early, and it was me! It was me, Chen Yanshi, who raised you like my own son! I raised your textbooks and tuition fees penny by penny! Now that you've made it big and become the provincial party secretary, have you forgotten your roots? Are you going to leave an old man like me out in the cold? You're so ungrateful! You ungrateful bastard!"

He roared with all his might, and every word he said was like a stone thrown at the provincial party committee building.

A few people who came to watch the fun had already gathered around, pointing at the door and whispering.

However, facing the old revolutionary's angry accusation, the two young armed police guarding the door had faces like granite sculptures, without any emotion.

Their eyes were cold, staring straight ahead, and Chen Yanshi was just a non-existent phantom.

Their hands were firmly on the Type 92 pistols at their waists.

Their posture, eyes, and every subtle movement convey an unmistakable signal: this is the power center of Handong Province, sacred and inviolable.

Their orders were simple, direct, and inflexible.

If Chen Yanshi attempts to break through the cordon, they have the right to take all necessary measures after warnings are ineffective, including...

Killed on the spot.

This is not a drill, nor is it a threat.

Just a few hours ago, an internal notice was transmitted through encrypted channels to the security forces at all key positions in Handong Province.

The entire guard company of the Jingzhou Military Region General Hospital received a serious warning.

This punishment is heavy enough to crush any soldier's career.

The cause of the incident was simply because they let a woman in - Zhong Xiaoai.

The company commander of the guard company was dismissed on the spot, and the punishment waiting for him was direct forced discharge from the army.

A young officer with a bright future had his career come to an end.

The entire guard company, from top to bottom, was in danger.

In the end, it was Zhao Yuanchao who pleaded with Zhao Mengsheng.

Only then did Zhao Mengsheng feel relieved.

"Next time we encounter someone breaking through the checkpoint, we will shoot them dead!"

Zhao Mengsheng finally said this coldly.

As a result, the punishment of forced discharge from the army was changed to a serious warning.

The company commander's military career was saved, but this stain will accompany him for the rest of his life.

This bloody lesson, like a brand, is deeply engraved in the hearts of every armed guard in Handong.

The captain of the armed police squadron at the gate of the provincial party committee compound, with a hawk-like gaze, was fixed on Chen Yanshi who was roaring outside the cordon.

His brain was working at a rapid pace, replaying the death order issued by his superiors over and over again.

"Level 1 alert. Anyone attempting to intrude, regardless of identity or background, will receive a verbal warning and a warning shot. Any further movement will be authorized to proceed without delay."

Free Fire.

These four words were like four icebergs, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

But an order is an order.

Discipline is the lifeline of the army.

Looking at the "corpses" of the guard company of the Jingzhou Military Region General Hospital, these latecomers would never dare to have any more luck.

Chen Yanshi was still crying, and his voice was already tearful.

But he dared not step beyond the line.

"Sha Ruijin! What's the point of hiding in there? If you have the guts, come out and see me! Tell me, how have I, Chen Yanshi, ever wronged you? Why do you treat me like this? Why?!"

"Come and tell me, my son Chen Hai has done nothing wrong. Who dares to arrest him?"

"Why arrest him!"

"Let's see who has the guts! If you don't come out, I'll carry the plaque and kneel before the military district! The leaders of my military district will also come forward for me!"

"You arrested my son! How dare you! If the military is furious, how will you explain yourself?"
