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

He shed tears and gave a vivid performance, portraying himself as an innocent pawn who was used and kept in the dark by his superiors.

"You...you beast!"

A low growl filled with suppressed anger came from the side.

Chen Hai's eyes had turned blood red, and he stared at Hou Liangping with a look as if he wanted to eat him alive.

He never expected that at the critical moment of life and death, the brother he had promoted and treated as his own son would not hesitate to push him out as a scapegoat.

"Hou Liangping! Are you even a fucking human?"

Chen Hai struggled to stand up, his handcuffs clanging against the armrest. "What did you tell me when you applied for the arrest warrant? You said the evidence was irrefutable, you said you were 100% sure! Now you're putting all the blame on me?!"

Ji Changming, who had been sitting there like a dead man, slowly raised his head.

Two cold flames ignited in his cloudy eyes.

He looked at Hou Liangping, his face twisted by fear and meanness, and a smile uglier than crying appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Good... a good Chief of Investigation..."

Ji Changming's voice was as hoarse as sandpaper. "What a deceived victim..."

He shook his head slowly, and that silent action was more powerful than any angry roar.

It was complete disappointment and contempt that chilled him to the bone.

Ji Changming has been active in officialdom for half his life. He prides himself on his ability to judge people and make strategic plans, but he never expected that he would eventually fall into the hands of the "sword" he had personally chosen.

"I, Ji Changming, am really blind!"

Chapter 100 Hou Liangping, shooting you a hundred times would not be too many!

"I, Ji Changming, am blind!"

A roar that was not like a human voice erupted from Ji Changming's skinny body. The sound was sharp and piercing because of extreme anger, like a rusty saw cutting steel.

"Hou Liangping! Are you still trying to shift the blame onto Secretary Sha?"

Veins bulged on his neck, his face turned the color of liver, and his gray hair stood on end.

The finger he pointed at Hou Liangping was shaking violently, and in the next second he was about to fall to the ground from a stroke because he could not bear the anger.

This was originally a sarcastic remark made by Ji Changming in anger, in an attempt to wake up this madman who had already gone crazy.

However, this unintentional roar was like a bolt of lightning, splitting Hou Liangping's chaotic brain filled with fear and despair.

yes……

Sha Ruijin!

An idea, an idea even crazier and bolder than the one he had just used to put the blame on Chen Hai and Ji Changming, suddenly emerged from the quagmire deep in his mind like a poisonous snake.

A strange light flashed in Hou Liangping's eyes.

He was like a drowning man grasping at the last floating straw, even though that straw had long since rotted, but he didn't care.

He must catch!

"Yes! Secretary Sha!"

Hou Liangping suddenly raised his head, and the tearful expression on his face froze instantly, replaced by a "sudden realization" as if he had discovered a shocking conspiracy.

He stared straight at Zhou Shoujing, his voice filled with a deliberately constructed, trembling sense of grievance: "I remember! I remembered the most important thing!"

At this moment, his acting talent was stimulated to the extreme by his instinct for survival.

"After the misunderstanding between me and General Zhao... Zhao Yuanchao, and after confirming his identity! Logically, as the top leader of Handong Province, Secretary Sha Ruijin should have been the first to come forward and personally explain to the military and clear up the misunderstanding! This is the most normal procedure!"

Hou Liangping's voice became louder and louder. He really found the key evidence to clear his name.

"But! Secretary Sha Ruijin, he never showed up from beginning to end! Why didn't he show up? What was he hiding from? Did he already know something about the inside story and deliberately made me the scapegoat?!"

The interrogation room fell into dead silence.

Even Chen Hai, who had been furious beside him, was stunned by these extremely shameless remarks. He opened his mouth and recognized the so-called "brother" in front of him for the first time.

There was still no expression on Zhou Shoujing's face, which looked like it was carved from granite. However, in his hawk-like eyes, an imperceptible, cold sneer flashed across his face.

"Ah……"

A low and hoarse sneer squeezed out of Ji Changming's throat.

He laughed, a laugh uglier than crying, his shoulders shrugged with laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke of the century.

"Hou Liangping, ah, Hou Liangping..."

Ji Changming slowly stood up and looked at Hou Liangping. The look in his eyes was no longer one of disappointment or contempt, but a kind of pity and hatred as if he were looking at a non-human creature.

"Secretary Sha has been cleaning up your mess, and you're actually biting back. You really don't know what's good for you."

His voice regained some composure, but beneath that composure was a chill that was even more bone-chilling than a roar.

"Do you think that after you 'invited' General Zhao to the Jingzhou Military Region General Hospital, the matter was over so simply?"

Ji Changming leaned forward, his cloudy eyes fixed on Hou Liangping.

"Do you know how many high-ranking generals and high-ranking officials from all over the country rushed in that night? Do you know that the corridors of the Military Region General Hospital were filled with people who could make the whole of Handong tremble?"

"How do you think those veteran generals, with their lifetimes of service and fiery tempers, would react when they learned that their old comrades and subordinates were interrogated for hours by a petty, ignorant section chief like you as a corrupt official?"

With every word Ji Changming spoke, Hou Liangping's face turned paler.

He didn't know these details at all, and no one would tell him.

He only knew that he had caused a big disaster, but he didn't know how big the disaster was.

"Who was it that endured the overwhelming pressure in the hospital, chain-smoking, smiling, explaining, apologizing, and comforting those generals over and over again?"

"Is that you? Hou Liangping?"

Ji Changming's voice suddenly rose, like a heavy hammer hitting Hou Liangping's heart.

Hou Liangping's lips trembled, and he subconsciously thought of his last supporter, the background he had always been proud of.

"It's... it's my father-in-law! It's Zhong Zhengguo!"

He blurted out as if grasping at a lifeline, "My father-in-law helped me with that!"

"Your father-in-law?"

"You're talking nonsense! Your father-in-law would have run as far away from you as possible when he saw you getting into trouble."

When Ji Changming heard this name, the sarcasm on his face became even stronger, and he looked at him as if he was a fool.

"Hou Liangping, have you become stupid after being locked up? Do you still count on your father-in-law?"

"It's Secretary Sha who's been cleaning up your mess. Otherwise, do you think you could sit here peacefully and be interrogated?"

"For your behavior, I should have shot you a long time ago!"

Ji Changming's voice was filled with cruel pleasure. He wanted to tear Hou Liangping's last fantasy to pieces with his own hands.

"Also! Your father-in-law, Zhong Zhengguo, abandoned you a long time ago! From the moment you were brought in here, he'd already drawn a line between him and you! How many times has your wife, Zhong Xiaoai, called you? Ask them if they've let you answer even one of them? Your Yue family is already trying to avoid you, and you still expect them to clean up your mess?!"

"No...impossible..."

Hou Liangping muttered to himself, the color on his face instantly drained away, and his eyes began to blur.

This is his last spiritual support. If even the Zhong family abandons him, he will be doomed.

Ji Changming didn't give him any chance to breathe. His voice, filled with anger and contempt, poured down like a storm.

"I'm telling you! It's Secretary Sha! It's Secretary Sha Ruijin, the one you framed!"

"It was him who, despite the enormous risk of being held accountable by the military, worked alone in the hospital, from late at night until dawn! It was he who repeatedly assured those high-ranking generals that he would thoroughly investigate this matter and give the military an explanation!"

"It was he who mobilized all his connections and personal relationships to barely appease those enraged generals! Otherwise, do you think you could sit here in peace and speak nonsense? Those generals would have rushed in and dragged you out and shot you a hundred times!"

"Secretary Sha saved your life! You ungrateful, distorting-rights beast!"

Ji Changming's voice echoed in the interrogation room. Every word was like a bullet, beating Hou Liangping to pieces.

"Now, you actually have the nerve to throw dirty water on Secretary Sha's head?!"

"Hou Liangping, I finally see through everything today!"

Ji Changming's voice was hoarse with fatigue. He pointed at Hou Liangping and cursed word by word: "You are such a fucking dog!"

"Wang!"

A loud dog bark suddenly sounded in the interrogation room.

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Hai's eyes were red, and he barked like a dog at Hou Liangping.

He was so angry that he could not express his anger and disgust with words. He could only use this most primitive and insulting way to vent his immense hatred for his former brother.

"Plop" sound.

Hou Liangping could no longer hold on and slid off the chair, collapsing to the ground.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Every word Ji Changming said was like a red-hot iron, branding the cruel truth into his mind.

It turned out that when he was feeling complacent and thought he had only made a small mistake, there was already a huge storm outside.

It turned out that when he was imprisoned and still fantasized that his father-in-law, the Zhong family, would come to rescue him, they had already regarded him as an abandoned child.

It turned out that Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary whom he had just wanted to frame, was the one who pulled him from the edge of the cliff.

But he wanted to push this person into the abyss.

The extremely cold chill rushed from his tailbone to the top of his head, causing all the blood in his body to solidify.

He finally realized that what he had committed was not just a mistake, but a heinous crime that was so stupid that it would crush him completely and make him unable to recover forever.

He collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes empty, like a dead dog with its spine pulled out.
