Chapter 1169 Department Head!

“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.
