Speaker Long was now inclined to believe that there was no problem with Huo Shaoheng.
Naturally, the problem was the Director of the Secret Service, Hong Kangquan, who was being monitored and investigated by Huo Shaoheng.
However, they couldn't arrest people at the ministerial level unless they had concrete evidence or witnesses.
General Ji couldn't wait any longer. He ignored Speaker Long's complicated feelings and picked up the phone with a smile. "Old Long, quickly call Hong Kangquan and ask him to leave the Special Operations Forces as soon as possible. I'll also call Shaoheng and ask him to hand over the central control room to Zhou Qiyuan and report to me for isolation and interrogation. How does that sound? "
Speaker Long nodded and said in a low voice, "Continue monitoring Hong Kangquan's side."
General Ji grinned from ear to ear and wished he could give Speaker Long a V sign.
He dialed Huo Shaoheng's number in high spirits.
"Shaoheng, I have reached an agreement with Speaker Long regarding today's matter. Hand over the authority of the central control room to Zhou Qiyuan and come to me. I need to isolate and interrogate you. "
General Ji's eyes were smiling when he said this.
Speaker Long glared at him. He was speechless and annoyed. He turned around and called Hong Kangquan. He tried to speak in a gentle tone, "Director Hong, the security clearance required for the central control room is too high. I don't think it's appropriate for you to take over. Our authorization letter has exceeded the scope of what we can authorize, so it is illegal and is now officially invalid. Please leave the central control room of the Special Operations Forces immediately. You are not allowed to step into the central control room until you have obtained security clearance. "
Hong Kangquan's expression suddenly became very ugly. He didn't expect that the "evidence" he had carefully prepared would not be able to convince Speaker Long to do anything to Huo Shaoheng …
Huo Shaoheng put down the phone and saw that Hong Kangquan's face was ashen. He curled his lips and raised his chin slightly. He said to Zhou Qiyuan, "I will hand over the central control room to you. Everyone here is at your disposal. Anyone who doesn't meet the requirements will be killed on the spot if they approach this door! Don't make the mistake of being softhearted like I did. "
His words were directed at Zhou Qiyuan, but his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the Secret Service members one by one. He firmly remembered their faces.
Zhou Qiyuan immediately saluted. "Please rest assured, Chief! If anyone who doesn't meet the requirements wants to enter the central control room, they will have to step over my dead body! "
This was like a military pledge, expressing his determination to defend the Central Control Room to the death.
Hong Kangquan put down his phone and looked at the Special Operations Forces military police around him, who were eyeing him covetously. He then looked at the small pistols in his own hands and finally stomped his feet. "Let's go!"
He led the Secret Service out of the Special Operations Forces headquarters like a gust of wind, just as they had arrived.
Huo Shaoheng nodded at Zhou Qiyuan, then turned to the 27 staff members in the central control room and said, "I have something to attend to at General Ji's place for a few days. I'll leave this place to Colonel Zhou Qiyuan. You have to obey his orders. "
"Roger, Chief!" The 27 personnel in the room saluted in unison and watched Huo Shaoheng leave.
Zhou Qiyuan waved to the gendarmerie he brought with him. "Go check if the people from the Secret Service have taken anything. I will go to the central control room to complete the handover."
…
Yin Shixiong only found out about what happened that night the next morning.
His heart was burning with anxiety, but he couldn't leave his post to investigate Huo Shaoheng's troubles.
Zhao Liangze had been "exiled" by Huo Shaoheng to a small island in the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. Even if he wanted to return, he couldn't without orders.
After thinking about it, Yin Shixiong could only think of Gu Nianzhi, so he called her.
"Nianzhi, where are you?" Yin Shixiong's first sentence was to ask.
Gu Nianzhi was brought back to her suite in Hepingli by He Zhichu.
He Zhichu knew that the Special Operations Forces had strict security measures there. Living there was even safer than living with him in school.
Gu Nianzhi had just woken up and was still a bit groggy. She looked at Yin Shixiong sleepily and said, "I'm at home. What's wrong?"
Yin Shixiong snorted and put on his Bluetooth headset to talk to Gu Nianzhi. He asked, "What did you do yesterday?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She thought about it and decided not to cause trouble for Huo Shaoheng. She only said, "I was sleeping at home. What's wrong?"
Yin Shixiong replied, "Oh." He wondered if he could tell Gu Nianzhi about Huo Shaoheng's news.
After all, Huo Shaoheng's matters couldn't be told to outsiders.
Yin Shixiong hesitated for a while but still swallowed his words.
After chatting with Gu Nianzhi for a while, Yin Shixiong said he had work to do and hung up.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't surprised. This kind of thing happened often. She immediately nodded. "Okay. Brother Xiong, remember to rest well and eat. Don't let Qiqi worry."
Yin Shixiong saw that Gu Nianzhi could still think of Ma Qiqi at a time like this. His heart was filled with love and concern for her. His voice softened. "I know. You too."
Yin Shixiong's call had actually woken Gu Nianzhi up.
She couldn't sleep anymore, so she picked up her phone from the bedside table and started scrolling through it.
…
Hong Kangquan returned to the Secret Service and locked himself in his office. He began smoking in a depressed mood.
The staff of the Secret Service all knew that the director was feeling uncomfortable, so they were very careful not to disturb him.
Hong Kangquan smoked three cigarettes in one go before exhaling a mouthful of turbid air.
He picked up his phone and wanted to call the invalid number, but found that it was the same as before. It wouldn't go through.
Hong Kangquan pondered as he played with his phone. The person probably meant that he shouldn't take the initiative to contact him. Instead, the other party should contact Hong Kangquan.
This was good.
Hong Kangquan looked at the document on his desk and slammed his fist on the desk.
He refused to believe that he still couldn't bring down Huo Shaoheng after all this!
However, this document had already been reviewed by Senior Speaker Long. Senior Speaker Long was the most impartial person, so he definitely wouldn't treat Huo Shaoheng differently like General Ji.
Hong Kangquan laughed coldly and locked the document in the file cabinet.
…
Huo Shaoheng arrived at General Ji's office and stood very straight.
"Huo Shaoheng, Chief of the Special Operations Forces, reporting for duty!"
General Ji looked up at him. "Come in and close the door."
Huo Shaoheng closed the door to General Ji's office and walked to General Ji's desk. He continued to stand in military posture.
General Ji waved at him. "Sit. Don't be nervous."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He wouldn't tell General Ji that he wasn't nervous at all.
Sitting in the chair in front of General Ji's desk, General Ji took out the operation report that Huo Shaoheng had written after returning from the United States and threw it in front of him. "Tell me, what exactly happened."
Although General Ji had vouched for Huo Shaoheng in front of Senior Speaker Long, because of the evidence and materials that Hong Kangquan had produced, General Ji carefully looked at the operation report that Huo Shaoheng had written.
With one look, he could also see that Huo Shaoheng had concealed some parts of the operation report.
Or rather, he had glossed over some parts that he hadn't mentioned in detail. It was somewhat suspicious.
It wasn't that he had done anything wrong to the country or the military, but rather that General Ji didn't want his subordinates to hide anything from him.
Huo Shaoheng's experience in the United States was indeed difficult to explain in a few words.
Moreover, he had indeed concealed some of his encounters.
For example, he hadn't mentioned a single word about the collaboration with James, the Director of the Asian Intelligence Division of the CIA.
James was the highest-ranking informant in the CIA, even higher than the informant that Bai Yusheng had betrayed.
Huo Shaoheng had promised James that the deal between the two of them would only be known by the two of them and that he wouldn't betray the other.
In their line of work, not everything could be announced.
There were many secrets that could be taken to the grave.
For example, the founder of their line of work refused to write his memoirs in his later years and didn't leave any political will after his death.
There were also some contacts that he had developed, but with his death, they also lost contact with the Huaxia Empire.
Because these people weren't Huaxia people, they only recognized this founder and only had one-way contact with him. They didn't have any intention of doing anything for the Huaxia Empire.
The relationship between Huo Shaoheng and James was already somewhat similar to that of a founder.
He sat upright in front of General Ji and calmly maintained his silence.
