Tan Dongbang obviously wasn't as good as the professionally trained Hong Kangquan when it came to controlling his expression and emotions.
Huo Shaoheng's words, "Wasn't Hong Kangquan the one who helped you this time? It was someone else. "As soon as he said that, Tan Dongbang looked at Huo Shaoheng as if he had seen a ghost and almost screamed.
"What … What … What did you say?! I don't understand a single word! "Tan Dongbang waved his fists angrily." I said I didn't cheat, so I didn't cheat! Who the hell knows how your stupid system could be like this! No, there's nothing wrong with the system! You set me up on purpose! "
Huo Shaoheng sighed and shook his head. "You and Hong Kangquan were taught by the same teacher? And you were trained by the same institution? Both of your excuses are exactly the same. "
Both of them had been set up by someone else, and both of them were innocent, honest people who knew nothing.
"That's the truth." Tan Dongbang was so scared that his legs were cramping. He never would have guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was so powerful. How could Huo Shaoheng have discovered him?!
If this person even knew about the mastermind behind the scenes, was there anything in this world that he didn't know?!
Tan Dongbang had lost all hope in this world, and his emotions hovered on the edge of collapse.
Huo Shaoheng had been calmly observing Tan Dongbang's expression to adjust his strategy.
Seeing that Tan Dongbang was about to collapse, Huo Shaoheng suddenly said, "It was also this person who helped you last time, right? But last time, this person helped you through Hong Kangquan. "
Tan Dongbang was flabbergasted as he stared at Huo Shaoheng. The red veins in his eyes could be seen clearly.
Huo Shaoheng's tone became more and more severe. "Hong Kangquan is hopeless. He has the Japanese behind him. Disrupting national order, interfering in the election to cheat, killing civil servants, and betraying national secrets. Every one of his crimes is enough for him to die several times over! Tan Dongbang, are you still going to cooperate with this kind of person, protect this kind of person, and die with him?! "
"If it wasn't for Hong Kangquan, you would at most be guilty of election bribery, not death. But you're colluding with Hong Kangquan and betraying the country. That's a capital crime! "
Treason was a death sentence no matter which country it was in.
Tan Dongbang finally broke down and let out a low wail from his throat. He abruptly clutched his head with his hands and yelled, "No! No! I did not betray my country! I did not collude with the enemy! I don't want to die! "
Huo Shaoheng quietly watched as Tan Dongbang wailed. After a while, he changed the subject and softened his tone.
"However, as long as you tell the truth and draw a clear line between you and Hong Kangquan, I will plead with the military court to turn you into a tainted witness." Huo Shaoheng leaned forward and said in a low voice, "You will definitely be spared from the death penalty."
But he couldn't escape punishment.
Given Tan Dongbang's crimes, if he wasn't executed, he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
But Tan Dongbang was fine as long as he didn't face the death penalty. As for whether Hong Kangquan would die or not, what did that have to do with him?
He was doing it to protect himself!
Tan Dongbang panted heavily. "Are you serious? Do you dare to guarantee it? As long as I tell you the truth, will you spare my life? "
Huo Shaoheng pointed at the position of the camera. "Everything here is recorded and recorded. If I go back on my word, you can say it in the military court. We're not going to lynch anyone. "
Knowing that he wouldn't have to die, Tan Dongbang slowly regained his breath. Propping himself up on the table, he sat up straight and nodded. "Fine, I'll tell you, but you have to remember your promise!"
He then said angrily, "Little Darling is infatuated with you. How could you treat her parents like this?!"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
Was this their revenge on him for saying that Hong Kangquan had a crush on him earlier, so they were doing this to disgust Huo Shaoheng?
Huo Shaoheng couldn't take it anymore, no matter how cultured and self-controlled he was, to be paired up with their idiot daughter so many times.
Huo Shaoheng's expression turned completely cold.
His gaze shot over like a poisoned arrow.
He sat up straight in his chair and enunciated each word clearly, "Don't be so shameless. Don't you know what kind of person would be interested in your daughter? "
He had to restrain his anger to not curse.
Tan Dongbang's face turned red instantly. It looked even worse than when he had just collapsed.
He looked at Huo Shaoheng in shock and stammered, "You … you … you don't even like my daughter? Then why did you personally go to New York to save her?! "
Huo Shaoheng took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. "I'm a soldier. Helping the citizens is my duty, but that doesn't include arranged marriages. Alright, if you keep talking about this, your daughter will have to come and help with the investigation. "
With that, Tan Dongbang finally ended the topic. He didn't dare mention Tan Guiren again.
He knew that he and Cai Songyin might have brought this upon themselves, but his daughter, Tan Guiren, was completely innocent.
Tan Dongbang looked like he was about to cry. He rested his hands on the table and said weakly, "Then if I tell you, will you definitely plead to the court? Swear! "
Huo Shaoheng refused to swear. "It's fine if you don't believe me. If swearing worked, then you wouldn't have cheated."
How many people who cheated would actually remember the sacred vows made at their wedding?
Tan Dongbang's face twitched. He completely understood that Huo Shaoheng wasn't someone who would be swayed by force or persuasion.
In front of him, the only way to get some benefits was to confess and be lenient.
"… There is someone helping Hong Kangquan behind the scenes. That person is very powerful and has been working with Hong Kangquan since seven years ago … "Tan Dongbang muttered in a low voice and spoke very quickly.
This information regarding Hong Kangquan had been revealed to him by that person in order to gain Tan Dongbang's trust.
Even the person behind the scenes probably didn't expect that a person with such ambitions to become Prime Minister would have such a weak psychological defense.
However, low-class goods that relied on packaging all had this characteristic.
Huo Shaoheng keenly heard the words "seven years ago."
If he looked at the timeline, Gu Nianzhi had also suddenly appeared at the scene of the car accident in C City seven years ago.
"What does that person look like? How did they communicate? "This was what Huo Shaoheng was most interested in.
Logically speaking, Hong Kangquan was the Director of the Secret Service. His every move was under heavy scrutiny.
There were countless overt and covert surveillance.
How could someone break through all these obstacles and bypass his surveillance to communicate with Hong Kangquan for seven years without being discovered?
Tan Dongbang shook his head. "I don't know what he looks like. I've never seen him before, and I believe that Hong Kangquan has never seen him either. We've always communicated with him through the phone. "
"Phone?!" Huo Shaoheng furrowed his brows as he vaguely felt that this didn't make sense.
Tan Dongbang and Hong Kangquan's landlines and phones were all monitored by him.
If such a call had come in, and if that person had only contacted Hong Kangquan and Tan Dongbang directly through the phone, how could he not know?
Could it be that the phone surveillance system had also malfunctioned?
Or could it be that the people monitoring the phone had malfunctioned?
Huo Shaoheng could only think of these two possibilities because he couldn't think of any other reason at the moment.
The phone surveillance system was a subprogram of the central control system. He remembered that he had checked it earlier and it hadn't been invaded by the four lines of AI programming language.
As for the people monitoring the phone, they were randomly assigned to monitor a company.
If something had happened to the people monitoring the phone, they would have had to bribe someone from the entire company to do it.
Was it possible?
Of course not.
Huo Shaoheng quickly eliminated these two possibilities.
Of course, he would send people to verify his conclusions again.
The phone surveillance system would use Gu Nianzhi's program to check again.
That program could even detect the intrusion of the central control system's AI programming language, so a small phone surveillance system was not even worth mentioning.
The company monitoring the phone would also have to be re-investigated, but Huo Shaoheng was still inclined to believe that it had nothing to do with them before they were confirmed to be guilty.
There must be other factors that allowed the person behind the scenes to escape his heavy surveillance.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Tan Dongbang silently and said coldly, "How did you communicate through the phone? Explain clearly."
