Chapter 1169: 1169
“Chief, we just received a report . People from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee have appeared everywhere within the military headquarters . They took away many high-ranking officers, some were even major generals . ” One major general anxiously walked into his senior officer’s office and reported what he just read .
“Major generals? Do you know who they are?” The general, who was in the office looking through documents, was in shock .
“I only know of one from the Military Safety Department, Major General Jiang Wei . I am not privy to the other names on the list yet,” replied the major general softly . He hurriedly came to bring the news because he had heard Jiang Wei was asked to leave with the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee on his way over here .
“Did they discover us?” After hearing Jiang Wei’s name, the general felt his heart sinking to his stomach . However, he quickly eliminated the possibility . In all of these years, he followed the rules to the T, focused on his work and never made any mistakes . As for Jiang Wei, he was only just related to his faction, so he wouldn’t affect him too much .
However, what was the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee planning to do with these series of invites? The general began to think more deeply about this . He must find out the reason behind the vast undertaking . That way, he would be able to avoid getting caught in the midst of the storm .
Right at that moment, an angry voice could be heard from outside of his office . “Hey, what are you doing? This the nation’s Network Security Department . It’s not some place where you can just come and go as you please . ”
“Make them quiet down,” said a lazy-sounding voice .
Then, the sound of a few bodies thumping could be heard . Afterwards, it became completely silent .
The general had a grave expression on his face . He immediately stood up and walked quickly to the door of his office . The major general followed behind him .
When they walked out of the office, they saw a lieutenant general with his back towards them and hands clasped behind his back . Beside him, there were two major generals with two groups of majors following behind them . They locked down the office and held down the staff members . Some had attempted to resist, but were mercilessly struck unconscious .
After sensing their arrival, the lieutenant general with his hands behind his back turned around . He instantly smiled after seeing them, “General Wu, long time no see . ” The general’s military rank was clearly higher than this lieutenant general, but this lieutenant general’s expression wasn’t the least bit polite and was quite casual .
General Wu saw the person who came and narrowed his eyes . With a hint of coldness in his eyes, he spoke slowly, “Lieutenant General Yang, I didn’t know such a busy person like yourself would actually have the time to come visit me . ”
“I can’t help it . There’s someone here that I need to personally invite to leave with me,” Lieutenant General Yang smiled even more .
“That wolf in sheep’s clothing!’
General Wu screamed in his mind .
“I’m not sure who Lieutenant General Yang wants to invite,” said General Wu . He didn’t know which one of his lieutenant generals or deputy generals was so unlucky that the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee was on their tail .
After hearing that, Lieutenant General Yang smirked lightly . “I will have to trouble General Wu to come with me!”
After saying that, Lieutenant General Yang gave a pose as if he was saying ‘After you’!
‘They are targeting me!’ General Wu’s expression changed instantly . A hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes for a moment as he shouted angrily, “You’re screwing with me!”
The angry shout didn’t affect Lieutenant General Yang at all . He calmly put out his right hand and patted the bottom part of his uniform . It was as though he was trying to get some dust off it . Then, he raised his eyes and spoke nonchalantly, “General Wu, don’t lose your cool . ”
General Wu looked at him angrily to show the frustrations he had . He spoke in a sharp tone, “I’m the head of a department . Lieutenant General Yang, if you want to take me, it’s going to take more than just a warrant from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee . ”
Although for those general rank or below, the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee could write up their own warrants for their arrest, however there was a restriction when doing so . That restriction was that people who were at top ranking positions of the nation could not be taken in for questioning without proper authorization .
After all, the nation’s various department heads were the heart of the nation and couldn’t be just taken away so easily . If anyone wanted to take them away, they would require the signatures of at least two out of the three marshals for such a warrant .
After hearing those words, Lieutenant General Yang opened his palm in front of him . A major standing behind him quickly walked up and placed a document into his hand .
Lieutenant General Yang took the document and handed it to General Wu . He then smiled and said, “This is what you want? The signatures of the three marshals . ”
General Wu’s eyes immediately narrowed . He quickly grabbed the document from Lieutenant General Yang’s hand . He opened it and did indeed see the clearance for the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee to take away the nation’s Network Security Department Head Wu Shangyong away . The signatures of the three marshals were present on the warrant .
“That’s not possible . ” He was someone who was brought up to this position by the third marshal and was very respectful towards the first and second marshals . He never did anything selfish nor did break any rules . Even when the third marshal helped him raise up the ranks, it was still through proper procedures . It was because he didn’t do anything out of line, followed the rules and was always praised for his work that he had gotten to his current position . He had also received a medal of the highest honor for doing well in his position, The Golden Thorn .
Although he wasn’t as bright and glamorous as General Ling Xiao, he was still a role model in the military that was respected and loved . Why would the three marshals agree to such a warrant?
General Wu couldn’t figure it out . He could only repeatedly say that it was impossible .
“Lieutenant General Yang, somebody is framing me . ” General Wu suddenly realized it . He understood that he was being framed .
“That’s why, General Wu, we need you to go to the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee and cooperate with us . ” Lieutenant General Yang smirked . “You just need to make everything clear for us . Just like how Major General Ling had done during the conference . Faced with the accusation of killing prisoners, didn’t he make it clear to us?
After hearing those words, General Wu’s eyes showed a hint of shock . He seemed to have realized something and his face turned slightly pale .
“Haha, General Wu, it looks like you’ve remembered something,” seeing General Wu’s pale expression, Lieutenant General Yang laughed out loud .
After laughing for a few seconds, his smile suddenly turned cold . “It’s not that we didn’t report it, but rather because the time to wasn’t right . General Wu, don’t think for a second that no one is unaware of the things you’ve done . It was because back then, no one wanted to go against you . Otherwise, you would’ve been taken down from your high horse long ago . ”
Lieutenant General Yang’s words helped General Wu regain his composure . He calmly said, “Lieutenant General Yang, what have I done? I really don’t know . Please help me understand . Even a criminal still needs to be told what crime they committed right?”
Lieutenant General Yang shook his head . “We will tell you, just not here . General Wu, please come to the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee with us . ”
General Wu knew he now had no choice but to go to the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee . He snorted coldly, tossed his arm out in frustration and walked out of the Network Security Department .
Major General Bai, who was currently at Ling Lan’s conference, instantly breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the report that the mission was completed .
He stood up and spoke to the host of the conference, Major General Gao, “I just received news that our Disciplinary and Investigation Committee’s hackers have found new evidence . We’ve found the parts of the video that had been altered . Thus, we can confirm that the video sent in as an accusation against Major General Ling was fake and unusable . ”
“Thus, Major General Ling is not guilty of anything . He is innocent,” said Major General Bai without hesitation .
