The photos were so intimate that there was no need to guess. Everyone immediately congratulated the Dou and Huo families on their upcoming marriage.
One was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's official residence, and the other was a new member of the military family. No matter how one looked at it, it was a good match.
What was even rarer was that the couple were obviously deeply in love with each other. It was simply too rare.
The Prime Minister and his wife were drowned in congratulatory words.
Dou Qingyan heard the congratulations from the audience on stage. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she fainted in Dou Haoyan's arms.
Dou Haoyan's expression was ugly, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of everyone. He could only call a few people up to take Dou Qingyan upstairs.
…
Huo Shaoheng watched the video calmly and gave his orders without turning his head. "First, cut off all internet connections to foreign countries. Activate the Great Wall's lockdown program and intercept all IP addresses that attempt to bypass the wall."
Zhao Liangze quickly took out his digital pen and recorded Huo Shaoheng's orders.
"Second, seal off all airports, highways, and exits from the Imperial Capital. At the same time, apply for an arrest warrant from the military court to arrest Dou Qingyan, a former Special Operations Forces veteran.
"Third, mobilize the Special Operations Forces military police. Follow me to the Prime Minister's official residence. Act immediately."
"Roger, Chief!" Zhao Liangze stood on both knees and saluted Huo Shaoheng. "May I ask what charges are we applying to the military court to arrest Dou Qingyan?"
The members of the Special Operations Forces were a special existence in the Huaxia Empire's military. They were under the jurisdiction of the military and military courts, and their responsibilities overlapped with the cabinet's Secret Service. However, the Special Operations Forces were much stronger than the Secret Service in terms of execution and military strength. They were not on the same level at all.
As a result, members of the Special Operations Forces had much more authority than the Secret Service. As the head of the Special Operations Forces and the acting Army Chief, Huo Shaoheng's scope of authority was astonishing.
"The charges are illegal falsification of evidence and defamation of her superior. Each of these charges is enough to keep her in prison for the rest of her life. " It was as if he was talking about a trivial matter. "At the same time, issue an order for the members of the Special Operations Forces in Italy and Northern Ireland to immediately stop all operations and return immediately. There can be no delay."
Zhao Liangze instantly understood. Huo Shaoheng was denying the authenticity of these photos. Even if they were real, he had to insist that they were fake. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as forging evidence. This involved the identities of the Special Operations Forces members stationed in other countries. Once their identities were exposed, the safety of those people would be in jeopardy.
Zhao Liangze calmed down and replied seriously, "Yes, Chief!"
Zhao Liangze quickly forwarded Huo Shaoheng's instructions.
Zhao Liangze was in charge of disconnecting the internet. He had all the necessary procedures in place, so he quickly initiated the blockade and set up an interception system that could record any IP address that attempted to cross the wall.
Yin Shixiong was supposed to be in charge of applying for an arrest warrant from the Special Military Court, but he was currently at the Prime Minister's official residence. Huo Shaoheng had another confidential personal secretary apply for an arrest warrant.
According to military rank, Huo Shaoheng had four personal secretaries. The two public ones were Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong, and the other two were confidential personal secretaries who never showed their faces in public.
Even when applying for an arrest warrant from the Special Military Court this time, they were still using his disguised identity.
Although it was eight or nine o 'clock in the evening on New Year's Day, Huo Shaoheng quickly obtained an arrest warrant for Dou Qingyan from the Special Military Court.
When the arrest warrant was delivered to Huo Shaoheng, he was already in his military uniform and sitting in a bulletproof car.
The Special Operations Forces dispatched a hundred military police, in addition to Huo Shaoheng's hundred orderlies, to drive four large Humvees to the Prime Minister's official residence.
It was late at night in the Imperial Capital on New Year's Day. The weather was so cold that one's breath almost turned to ice.
Huo Shaoheng wore his general's uniform and gloves as he quietly watched the Prime Minister's official residence get closer and closer.
As they neared Willow Alley, the police and plainclothes Secret Service officers performing security checks there stopped their military vehicles.
But before they could speak, the heavily armed military police and Huo Shaoheng's orderlies had already taken over the entire Prime Minister's official residence and surrounded it.
The police and plainclothes Secret Service officers were immediately escorted into the military vehicles and sent to the Special Operations Forces' secret detention base for a few days.
"Huo Shao, they're not happy. They're asking how many days they'll be locked up …" Zhao Liangze reported to Huo Shaoheng uneasily.
"Ignore them. They'll be released when all our people are withdrawn from Italy and Northern Ireland, "Huo Shaoheng said in a low voice and waved his hand. "Go to the Prime Minister's official residence now. In addition to arresting Dou Qingyan, everyone in the Prime Minister's official residence will be taken away. The Prime Minister and his wife can be placed under house arrest in their official residence. Everyone else will be taken to the Special Operations Forces. "
"… Huo Shao, are you really going to offend everyone this time?"
"If we don't do this, can you guarantee that none of them will leak the information?" Huo Shaoheng calmly got out of the car. "Just say that I suspect that there are foreign spies among them, and that they need to come back with us to the Special Operations Forces for further investigation and screening."
The head of the Special Operations Forces had special permits and search warrants, and could take action based only on unilateral suspicions.
This was the power granted to the Special Operations Forces by the Senate.
Of course, if the Special Operations Forces deliberately fabricated charges to frame others, the Senate could also initiate impeachment proceedings and revoke the special privileges of the head of the Special Operations Forces. However, to convict the head of the Special Operations Forces, it still had to go through the military and the military court.
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Liangze immediately led the way, guiding a portion of the military police and orderlies to the Prime Minister's official residence.
The hall of the Prime Minister's official residence was currently filled with singing and dancing, and laughter filled the room. The banquet was at its climax, and the long buffet tables had been removed. The living room had become a huge dance floor, and the lights were dimmed. Everyone was about to start dancing.
Just then, the main door of the official residence was pushed open with a bang. The force was so great that the two mahogany doors were pushed to the ground.
"Who's so bold?!"
"What's going on?!"
The music in the living room stopped abruptly, and the lights that had just dimmed came back on.
Everyone was dumbfounded to see a large group of heavily armed soldiers suddenly running in from the direction of the main door.
Dou Haoyan parted the crowd and walked over. He said unhappily, "Which unit are you from? Why are you trespassing on the Prime Minister's official residence? "
Zhao Liangze walked in with a dark expression, and waved the arrest warrant in his hand at Dou Haoyan. "May I ask where Dou Qingyan is?"
Dou Haoyan's face paled. He had not expected the Special Operations Forces to arrive so quickly!
They had just convinced Dou Qingyan, and were about to send her out of the country overnight!
"Why are you looking for my … my sister?" He stammered, trying to stall for time.
"If you don't tell me, I can arrest you for obstructing military operations." Zhao Liangze's handsome face was solemn, and he spoke without hesitation.
Bai Yueran saw this from the crowd and nodded approvingly. She parted the crowd and walked over to Dou Haoyan. "Eldest Young Master Dou, please cooperate with us and hand over Dou Qingyan."
Zhao Liangze looked at Bai Yueran gratefully, but still shook his head. "Director Bai, please wait over there. Everyone here will be going to the Special Operations Forces to assist in the investigation today."
"Of course." Bai Yueran was not displeased at all. She smiled at him and turned to stand beside Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang stared blankly at Zhao Liangze. Under the light, his military uniform was stiff. He was different from his usual cultured and refined demeanor. Now, he had the iron-blooded bearing of a soldier.
Bai Yueran looked at Bai Shuang and sighed softly. She held her hand. "Stop staring. We'll be going with them to the Special Operations Forces to assist in the investigation later."
"Ok." Bai Shuang nodded sullenly, and finally looked away.
He Zhichu quietly watched the scene unfold at the door. His shimmering almond-shaped eyes revealed a trace of a smile. He muttered to himself, "… They came just in time. They're faster than I expected."
"Guard all the exits. Don't let a single person escape!"
The military police and orderlies quickly took control of the entire living room.
