For the Special Operations Forces, having authorization abroad meant that they could take all necessary actions to complete the mission, but this kind of thing couldn't be brought up to the table.
Every country had such agencies, and everyone had a tacit understanding that no one would say it out loud in front of the live broadcast audience.
For example, the CIA in the United States only reported to the president and was not under the jurisdiction of any other agency.
The Special Operations Forces led by Huo Shaoheng had been placed under the strict jurisdiction of the Senate, the Cabinet, and the military from the beginning.
This kind of requirement wasn't bad, but there were too many agencies he had to report to, and for such a secret agency that couldn't see the light of day, there were endless hidden dangers.
Huo Shaoheng was the highest leader of this agency, and now that he had moved from the dark to the light, it was no longer important to expose his identity. For example, the Director of the CIA in the United States, this person had always been public.
But his subordinates weren't. If his field personnel were also public, then what was the point of working on the secret front?
They would just be sending people to die.
Coupled with the fact that Senator B had deliberately confused the public's attention and specifically brought up the matter of "killing human rights" in private, it immediately set off a rhythm among the general public.
The group of online netizens who had just excitedly called out the "Huo Gu CP" were immediately pushed down, and a bunch of people clamored for Major General Huo to answer their questions.
For a moment, the inside and outside of the venue echoed, and with the addition of the Internet Water Army with ulterior motives, Huo Shaoheng was immediately pushed to the forefront of the storm.
How could he answer?
If he answered "no," he would immediately be accused of lying, and it might even involve their secret operations overseas.
If he answered "yes," it would be even more difficult. It would be like putting his own agency and his subordinates on the fire. Could he stay out of it alone?
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and saw that Gu Nianzhi was about to speak, so he quickly gave her a look to tell her not to speak first.
Gu Nianzhi understood, nodded slightly, and gently waved her open palm.
Such a subtle movement made the "Huo Gu CP" fans go crazy again, and the image of her gently shaking her white palm became a moving picture of a love package, and it quickly spread.
Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes, looked up at Senator B, and asked calmly, "Mr. Senator, I would like to ask, why are you asking this question?"
Senator B frowned and said, "Major General Huo, I'm the one asking you questions, not you."
Huo Shaoheng's posture was very relaxed. His tall and strong body filled the entire seat, and there was almost no place for his long legs to rest.
He leaned back and said with a faint smile, "I'm here to be questioned, not to be judged."
Insinuate that the Senator had treated him badly and put him at a disadvantage.
Gu Nianzhi seized the opportunity and immediately said, "Major General Huo's words are reasonable. Mr. Senator, please reply to Major General Huo's question first."
She continued, "Our Parliament's questioning of government and military officials has always been a place for mutual exchange of views. We are equals. If you don't understand, ask me. If I don't understand, ask you. Mr. Councilor, please don't be so condescending. You have no right to judge anyone. "
Councilor B laughed and said, "Chief Gu is indeed protective of her husband. In fact, I had wanted to suggest to the Senate a long time ago that Chief Gu should not attend this interrogation of Major General Huo. "
"Why?" The skinny female reporter from before answered the question appropriately.
"It's very simple, to avoid suspicion." Councilor B shrugged. "Everyone knows that Chief Gu and Major General Huo are engaged. How can these two people appear on opposite occasions at the same time? Isn't this giving Major General Huo a way out? "
Gu Nianzhi played right into his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Councilor really is treating this place like a courtroom and Major General Huo as a suspect for trial."
"Chief Gu, did you hear me say anything about a trial? Don't accuse him of anything. "Councilor B was even happier. It was quite an honor to be able to criticize Gu Nianzhi in public.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the other party's cheerful smile and smashed the hammer down without batting an eyelid. "But as far as I know, it's only during court trials that people with family or interests are required to recuse themselves."
"Now you're asking me to recuse myself, and you're saying that you're not treating this place like a courtroom and Major General Huo as a suspect?"
Councilor B's expression changed abruptly. His earlier happiness had been swept away by Gu Nianzhi's words.
"You –!" He wanted to refute, but in a moment of desperation, he couldn't think of any other occasion where Gu Nianzhi would need to formally recuse herself.
Gu Nianzhi didn't give him a chance to quibble and immediately said, "I'm really ashamed of you. Major General Huo is my fiancé, but he is also a soldier who has risked his life for the interests of the country and the people for decades. "
"How many times has he completed missions on the verge of death? You can count his military medals over the years."
"I really didn't expect you to treat such a soldier who has made great contributions to the country as a suspect without any basis." Gu Nianzhi's face became serious. "May I ask who gave you the authorization? And who gave you the instructions? "
Councilor B was flushed by Gu Nianzhi's retort, but he still refused to give up. He couldn't help but interrupt Gu Nianzhi's words and said loudly, "I just want to ask if Major General Huo has the right to kill! That's all! Chief Gu, don't try to change the subject! "
Gu Nianzhi also said bluntly, "Major General Huo wants to know why you asked this question, and why you turned a deaf ear to it and avoided answering?"
The two of them confronted each other, and no one was willing to back down.
At this time, it was time for Speaker Long to come forward.
He took the microphone in front of him and said with a smile, "Councilor who asked this question, you really need to explain. You have to remember that we are councilors, not judges. Don't think you are superior."
Then he said to Huo Shaoheng, "After the councilor answers your question, you also have to answer his question."
Huo Shaoheng nodded politely. "Definitely."
Speaker Long had spoken, and councilor B couldn't refuse.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I heard it from someone else by chance, and I was curious …"
Haha.
Gu Nianzhi laughed rudely. "Mr. Councilor, what kind of book did you read to ask such a whimsical and outrageous question?"
Councilor B blushed and glared at Huo Shaoheng. "Major General Huo, isn't it time for you to answer?"
Huo Shaoheng understood the councilor's intentions, and it was definitely not good, so he said lightly, "There is no law that gives me this kind of authorization."
"Ha!" Councilor B suddenly stood up excitedly and pointed to him. "You said there is no law that gives you authorization, but why did you order someone to assassinate Zuo Qinghong, an important witness in the Kevin case?!"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
It was reasonable to say that he executed Kevin, but what the hell was this about "assassinating" Zuo Qinghong?
Huo Shaoheng couldn't be bothered to answer.
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Councilor, if you make such a serious accusation without any evidence again, I will sue you for slander on behalf of Major General Huo."
Councilor B rolled his eyes. "If Zuo Qinghong wasn't assassinated by Major General Huo, why would he die in a hospital under the special care of the security department? And the police have never been able to catch the murderer! "
Councilor A also stood up and said, "And Kevin! He was also taken away from the hospital and then mysteriously died in a car accident! How do you explain this? "
"Everyone says that your department does things flawlessly, but how did two messes happen in a row this time!"
"Kevin is still an American citizen, and he was only sentenced to life imprisonment in the first trial. His legal team still has to appeal, and there will be a second trial. Aren't you using someone else to do your dirty work?!"
Huo Shaoheng didn't want to answer these idiotic questions at all.
Gu Nianzhi spoke for him. "So the two Councilors are representing the Americans. Today, I finally understand why you don't like our meritorious hero. As expected, when your ass is crooked, everything is inverted."
"Chief Gu, don't slander me!" Councilor A thought that he probably wouldn't be elected again, so he was a lot less worried about Gu Nianzhi and began to confront her. "We are questioning Major General Huo. You are so protective of your husband!"
"I am only doing my job. Please don't measure others by your own standards." Gu Nianzhi didn't even look at Councilor A and continued to stare at Councilor B. She said, "Mr. Councilor, are you feeling indignant for Kevin? Do you think that our court made a mistake? I can answer this question because I am the prosecuting lawyer for Kevin's case. I am fully qualified to confront you about Kevin's case in court. "
Councilor B froze for a moment before remembering that Gu Nianzhi was indeed the prosecuting lawyer for Kevin's case. His heart sank, and he thought that this case would probably involve her.
He quickly thought about it and said, "I am not feeling indignant for Kevin. I would feel indignant for any citizen in his position."
"Then you should feel indignant for Kevin. Stop pretending to be a reasonable person." Gu Nianzhi smiled. "Fine, even if you are feeling indignant for all citizens in Kevin's position, let me ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that Kevin's death is related to us?"
"As far as I know, it was Zuo Qinghong and two American Special Forces soldiers who illegally took Kevin out of the hospital."
"The car they were in was illegally modified, and there was a very high yield of explosives in the car."
"The person who detonated the car was also the person who provided the modified car. May I ask, Mr. Councilor, who provided the car? And who detonated the car? "
Councilor B glanced at Huo Shaoheng and said, "I think only the organization led by Major General Huo can use explosives with this kind of performance and modified cars. And it was also Major General Huo's people who secretly took Kevin out of the hospital. "
"You're saying that Zuo Qinghong and the American Special Forces soldiers are Major General Huo's people?" Gu Nianzhi wanted to chisel the word "wishful thinking" into his head.
She hadn't expected Councilor B to be so impressed by her.
He said confidently, "Isn't that so? As far as I know, Zuo Qinghong is a graduate student at the Institute of High Energy Physics, and Major General Huo's mother, Ms. Song Jinning, is the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics. "
"As for those two American Special Forces soldiers, imagine that other than Major General Huo's privileged organization, who else could smuggle two American Special Forces soldiers into the country without anyone knowing?"
"If I remember correctly, Major General Huo used to be a Special Forces soldier! Maybe he met these two Chinese-American Special Forces soldiers when he was on a mission abroad! "
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone inside and outside the venue fell silent.
Many people looked puzzled at the same time and looked at Huo Shaoheng thoughtfully.
Even Gu Nianzhi was stunned.
My goodness, Long Di Dong!
This person was really a genius!
He actually made it sound so real!
He put all the blame on Huo Shaoheng for the Kevin incident …
If Gu Nianzhi wasn't particularly familiar with Huo Shaoheng, even she might have been convinced!
It seemed that someone had come prepared today. She had really underestimated this group of good-for-nothings.
Gu Nianzhi quickly sent a message to Lu Jin to ask him to help her with an in-depth investigation of the two councilors. At the same time, she organized a counterattack in her mind.
If she wanted to do an in-depth background investigation in a short period of time, she could only look for Lu Jin, because only he had such technical means.
After sending the message, Gu Nianzhi patted her slightly blocked chest and took a deep breath. "Since Mr. Councilor treats your imagination as fact, then let's talk about the clues you've proposed."
"First of all, you said that Zuo Qinghong is a graduate student at the Institute of High Energy Physics, and Major General Huo's biological mother, Song Jinning, is the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, so this matter has something to do with Major General Huo. Are you suggesting that Zuo Qinghong went to the hospital to take away felon Kevin, and that Ms. Song Jinning listened to her son, Major General Huo, and ordered him to do it?"
Councilor B was almost paralyzed by Gu Nianzhi's long sentence, but after listening to her carefully repeat it a few times, he nodded without hesitation. "Isn't that so?"
"Then do you have evidence to prove that Major General Huo ordered Ms. Song, and Ms. Song ordered Zuo Qinghong?"
Councilor B snorted disdainfully. "Do you still need evidence for that? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance! "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and looked down to see that she had already received the information from Lu Jin on her laptop.
She clicked on the email and read it at a glance. She already had an idea.
She looked up at Councilor B and smiled. "Mr. Councilor, you have a son who finished college in the United States and went to work as a senior executive at Carlyle International Investment Limited. He has a superior and subordinate relationship with Kevin. Of course, Kevin is his superior. Are you standing up for Kevin today for your daughter's future at Carlyle International Investment Limited? Are you using your position for personal gain and deliberately slandering our meritorious minister? "
Councilor B was slightly taken aback, then laughed loudly. "Everyone here knows that I only have one daughter and no son! And my daughter works in a state-owned enterprise. She's just a small technician. What does that have to do with Carlyle?! Chief Gu, you're the one who's slandering the councilor! "
Gu Nianzhi nodded and leaned forward slightly. She said a name and said, "Isn't this person your son? Oh, no, he should be your illegitimate child. He and his mother are both abroad. This child was born and raised abroad. After graduating from college two years ago, he entered Carlyle International Investment Limited. You were the one who introduced him. "
"A student who just graduated from college became a senior executive at Carlyle in two years. Isn't that closely related to you?"
Councilor B was shocked and blurted out, "You're talking nonsense." He didn't understand how the secret he had hidden for more than 20 years had been discovered!
