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

"I firmly support the provincial party committee's decision and will resolutely cooperate with the investigation team! If there are any black sheep in the political and legal system, I, Tian Guofu, will personally identify them and hand them over to the organization!"

His statement was even more resolute than Li Dakang's.

Sha Ruijin looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings.

He knew that the overall situation was decided.

Although Zhao Yuanchao's knife was so sharp that it made him feel a little nervous, it was indeed easy to use.

"it is good!"

Sha Ruijin made the final decision, "Since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled. Secretary Tian, ​​you and Comrade Yuan Chao, please bring out the charter of the joint investigation team as soon as possible."

He looked at Zhao Yuanchao with complicated eyes.

"Comrade Yuan Chao, thank you for your hard work today. The sky in Handong has become clearer because of you."

Zhao Yuanchao smiled and sat down.

"Secretary Sha, we just did what we had to do. However, I have one last question."

His eyes became sharp again, staring at Sha Ruijin like an eagle.

"Comrade Zhao Lichun has been placed under double supervision. He has been operating in Handong for many years and has enormous influence. I'm worried that someone will use some abnormal means to interfere with the Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation."

"Therefore, I suggest that until the case is fully investigated, the care of Comrade Zhao Lichun will be jointly undertaken by our military and the Discipline Inspection Commission. The location will be the intensive care unit of the Jingzhou Military Region General Hospital."

"Secretary Sha, what do you think?"

Sha Ruijin's heart sank suddenly.

He finally understood.

Zhao Yuanchao didn't want to be the emperor emeritus.

He wants to hold Zhao Lichun, the dead tiger, firmly in his own hands!

He doesn't trust anyone in Handong Province at all!

Is the surname of this knife Sha or Zhao?

For the first time, Sha Ruijin began to doubt this issue.

Jingzhou Military Region General Hospital, the highest level intensive care unit.

This place is more like an impregnable fortress than a ward.

At the door stood two soldiers armed with live ammunition, their eyes as sharp as eagles.

In the corridor, there is a plainclothes disciplinary committee member every five meters.

Anyone who tries to approach this ward will be stopped without mercy.

In the ward, Zhao Lichun was lying on the bed with an oxygen tube in his nose and an IV on the back of his hand. He looked extremely weak and might take his last breath at any time.

However, in his half-open, half-closed cloudy eyes, there was not a trace of the weakness of a patient, but only an unfathomable coldness and calculation.

Pretending to be unconscious is the most effective way for an old hand like him to escape in desperate situations.

He successfully escaped from the suffocating conference room and bought himself a precious moment of respite.

But he knew that this was only temporary.

That little beast Zhao Yuanchao had pushed him to the edge of the cliff.

He must save himself!

Chapter 124: Stupid as a Woman

In the ward, besides him, there was another person in charge of taking care of him, the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission sent by Tian Guofu.

The deputy secretary sat on the sofa in the corner like a wooden man, not saying a word, just staring at him.

Zhao Lichun knew that it was impossible to do anything under his nose.

But he had already made a backup plan.

He closed his eyes, groaned in pain a few times, and then said in a weak voice: "Water... I want to drink water..."

The deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and went to pour him some water.

The moment he turned around, Zhao Lichun's hand reached under the pillow like lightning and took out a miniature mobile phone that was not much bigger than a matchbox.

This was the last communication tool he had prepared long ago as a precautionary measure.

He covered himself with the quilt and quickly dialed a few numbers that he knew by heart.

The phone rang once and then it was connected.

"it's me."

Zhao Lichun's voice was extremely low, but full of unquestionable majesty.

On the other end of the phone was his son, Zhao Ruilong.

"Dad! How are you? I heard you..."

Zhao Ruilong's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Shut up! Listen to me!"

Zhao Lichun interrupted him, "I'm fine. But the sky is falling."

He gave a series of instructions at the fastest speed.

"From now on, cut off all ties with China. Transfer all assets you have that can be transferred immediately! If you can't transfer them, find someone to sell them immediately, no matter the price!"

"Remember, don't give up anything! As long as you can get out, even if you lose money, you can earn it again in the future!"

"Also, get rid of your food city and your mother's jewelry! Burn them all down and don't leave any evidence for them!"

"I'll give you three days. After three days, you must leave China and go to a place where no one can find you! Never come back!"

Zhao Ruilong on the other end was so scared that he couldn't speak.

"Dad... things... have really come to this?"

"It's more serious than you think!"

There was a chill in Zhao Lichun's voice. "Remember my words, this is an order!"

He hung up the phone and without hesitation, dialed the second number.

This number has been his most trusted and confidential number for decades.

"Old Wu, it's me."

"secretary!"

Old Wu's voice was choked with excitement.

"Don't talk nonsense. Listen."

Zhao Lichun's tone was as cold as ice. "Go and do a few things right away."

"First, notify everyone that from today on, all of us will remain dormant. No one is allowed to speak or move without permission."

"Secondly, completely cut off He Liming and Zhao Lidong, those two idiots! Spread the word that they were bribed by Sha Ruijin a long time ago and are his spies planted among us! This incident was a conspiracy between the two of them, and their purpose was to frame me!"

"Muddy the waters! The more muddy the better! Make it so that no one can see the truth!"

"Third, go to Gao Yuliang in person. Tell him that I, Zhao Lichun, am still alive. As long as I'm still breathing, Handong will never be overturned. If he dares to take advantage of my misfortune at this moment, I guarantee that he will die even more miserably than me!"

This was his last struggle.

Pass the buck, muddy the waters, and then use threats and inducements.

He will use the network of relationships he has built up throughout his life to fight a final and desperate battle with Zhao Yuanchao and Sha Ruijin!

Just then, the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission came back with a cup of water.

Zhao Lichun quickly stuffed the phone back under the pillow, and his face returned to its half-dead look.

He took the cup of water, took a sip, and then lay back weakly. Those phone calls that determined the fate of countless people had never happened.

He closed his eyes and thought quickly in his mind.

not enough.

This alone is not enough.

Zhao Yuanchao's knife is too sharp, and Sha Ruijin, the smiling tiger, is too sinister.

He needs a stronger foreign aid.

Someone who can restrain them from the capital, from a higher level.

Zhong Zhengguo!

This name popped up in his mind.

The director of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection who was so smart that he took the initiative to hand the evidence over to himself in order to save his son-in-law.

Yes, that's him!

We must drag him down completely!

Let him and myself be tied to the same chariot!

The corners of Zhao Lichun's mouth curled up into an almost imperceptible, ferocious arc.

He knew what he should do.

The hospital corridor was dead silent.

The dead silence was broken by a burst of hurried and hurried footsteps.

Zhong Xiaoai rushed to the door of the intensive care unit like a mad lioness.

Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, and her face was covered with tears. She no longer had the sense of superiority and confidence that she had in the capital.

"I want to see Secretary Zhao! Let me in! I want to see Zhao Lichun!"

She screamed, trying to break through the two soldiers blocking the door.

"Comrade, please calm down!"
