Chapter 81 There's No Way Out
Liu Hui only said one word and did not receive an immediate reply before she sensed something was wrong.
After hanging up the phone, she paused for a moment, then pried out the phone's chip, crushed it, and threw the phone into the toilet.
She felt a little regretful.
She rarely regrets anything she has done, including joining the army despite not being particularly good at physical enhancement; and risking offending the base commander and the Purification Alliance to fight for independence in the Army's logistics production, purification division deployment, and even training.
The latter earned her the appreciation of Commander-in-Chief Lu Yunbai, which led to her rapid rise in rank within the Army.
There is a power struggle between the military and the government at the base.
However, she regretted killing the second team of Chengfeng.
This team is just a little creepy!
How did they dodge the bomb?
Liu Hui also regretted training her nephew Zhou Yang, considering her sister's dying wish and the fact that Zhou Yang's physical enhancement value was A and he was quite powerful.
It turns out that what determines fate is not enhancement values, but personality, intelligence, and luck!
Liu Hui paced back and forth in her office, wondering what had happened at the ranch.
The worst-case scenario is that the ranch has already fallen, and Xu Wentao and the others have been arrested.
Liu Hui conducted a detailed background check on everyone in Team 2 and knew that Zhao Bohan had an older brother in the Public Security Department.
Although she couldn't believe that the two teams' networks could retaliate so quickly, what if it really was a counterattack?
Xu Wentao, Lao Li, and those two ugly guys with squinty eyes and protruding mouths—these four are the core members of Xinyuan Ranch. They know that she is the real boss behind Xinyuan.
Of these four people, some have family members and some don't. Xu Wentao doesn't have any. What are the chances that he will implicate her?
Liu Hui tried to calm her racing heart, then took out another cell phone and started making calls.
First, we need to send someone to investigate the situation at Xinyuan Ranch; she also has people in the Public Security Department.
Secondly, we need to ask Wu Zirui about the current condition of the Chengfeng 2 team and whether they can tamper with things in the hospital.
Third, prepare supplies and vehicles based on the worst-case scenario...
Thinking of the last item, Liu Hui's face darkened, but she still dialed the number.
She was standing by the window making a phone call, and had just finished explaining the first thing when she noticed something commotion happening downstairs across the street!
Across the street is the university's former research and administration building, an entire floor of which housed the command office and staff headquarters, followed by the headquarters of the 3rd Regiment and offices of several brigades of the 3rd Regiment.
Liu Hui opened the window and heard and saw a male soldier below holding up a tablet computer and shouting:
"Help! Commander-in-Chief, help! The Logistics Minister is assassinating the mission squad!!"
His voice was loud, his tone was terrifying, and the content was equally terrifying. Even though military discipline was strict, the male soldier's behavior immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Almost every window in the building opposite and the logistics department building where Liu Hui works is open, facing the courtyard!
It was nearly three in the afternoon, the sun was setting, and Commander-in-Chief Lu Yunbo had just come out of the second-floor conference room when he saw this scene and immediately became furious:
"Which team is that soldier from? Has he lost his mind?! Pull him up!"
The commander-in-chief was very concerned about his reputation, so before he could even understand what the message was saying, he wanted to bring the soldiers up first.
His bodyguard immediately went to do so, but returned after a while and said, "Reporting to the commander, those are people from the North 2 Base, waiting for orders at our base."
He said that Team Chengfeng 2 was assassinated by Logistics Minister Liu; the entire team was seriously injured and they were currently rushing back to the base!
Lu Yunbai was taken aback, only then noticing the strangeness of the words, but then he immediately thought of the people from North 2.
He vaguely remembered that there was an application in the morning to transfer the North 2 detachment stationed at their base.
Wasn't this team on a mission?
And the people from North 2 complained on behalf of a small squad at his base?
This is incredibly embarrassing!
Lu Yunbo went downstairs with a sullen face!
"What's your name? Why are you suing our logistics minister? How do you know what happened to the people in Team Chengfeng 2?" Lu Yunbai stopped at the steps, and his secretary asked.
Seeing the group's attire and imposing presence, Qin Tianshuo knew the main person had arrived. He immediately stood at attention, saluted, and handed over the tablet and phone.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I am Qin Tianshuo, the captain of Team 6 of the Thunder Squadron at Base 2 North!"
The tablet's memo contained a report I had written based on the dictation of the vice-captain of Team Wind 2. The person on the other end of the phone was Captain Chen of the Martial God Team at the Freshman Base.
Lu Yunbai originally didn't want to accept the tablet, but the words "Commander Chen" forced him to.
The report was only a few hundred words long and quite concise, but its contents were alarming. Chen Yuezhou explained in just a few sentences the whole story of how Team 2 contacted him.
Under the watchful eyes of the public and with diplomatic pressure, Lu Yunbai had no choice but to tell his secretary, "Summon the Chengfeng Brigade!"
Wei Fengduo was in the crowd when he heard this and stepped forward.
Since Zhou Yang joined the army, he has been suppressed by both his superiors and subordinates simply because he was unwilling to get deeply involved in Liu and Wu's interest groups and was unwilling to give up his position to Zhou Yang.
But for the first time in so many years, he felt fortunate!
Wei Fengduo shouted, "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief! The command authority for this mission of Team 2 rests with the regimental headquarters, not with me!"
Lu Yunbai was slightly taken aback. "A mission to transport virus strains, and the command is in the regimental headquarters?"
This mission is troublesome and dangerous, but it's not classified!
Wu Zirui was also in the crowd, his face already pale.
But after stepping forward, he reluctantly explained: "Team 2 has great potential, and there is a senior purifier in the team. I pay more attention to them, so I put their mission command in the regimental headquarters."
This explanation is barely plausible. Seeing that Lu Yunbai's brows relaxed slightly, Wu Zirui immediately said:
"Team 2 is in danger, why do you immediately accuse the logistics minister of assassination? What evidence do you have?"
Qin Tianshuo snorted, thinking to himself, "So they just ignored the fact that Team 2 asked the command for help but were turned away?"
Would he let everyone down? Of course he has evidence!
He waved his hand behind him: "Comrades from the Public Security Department, please come forward."
Lu Yunbai became increasingly irritated. Why were there people from the Public Security Bureau here?
The sheriff in black saluted Lu Yunbai and took out an evidence bag containing a "metal buckle" smaller than a child's fingernail.
"This is a miniature listening device. Comrade Qin led us to find it in the rest room of the Chengfeng 2 team."
We used a directional antenna to track the source of the listening device's signal and found a listening station hidden in a residential area.
The personnel monitoring the site have been detained. One of them confessed that the monitored content was to be reported to high-ranking officials at the base!
There was a slight commotion among the surrounding crowd.
Someone has installed a listening device in the lounge? Anyone who hears that would feel a chill down their spine.
But does this "big shot" necessarily refer to the Minister of Logistics?
Wu Zirui's secretary seized on this point and questioned, "Anyone could be eavesdropping. The people at the listening station said they were under the command of the logistics minister?"
The people at the listening station had no idea who the mastermind was, only vaguely knowing that it was a big shot in the military.
In fact, the temporary listening station was about to be dismantled, but when Qi An contacted Qin Tianshuo through Chen Yuezhou, it was not yet noon.
The team didn't leave until 7 a.m. The people at the listening station weren't in a hurry; they planned to have lunch and then go back with the ranch's purchasing truck.
The listening devices in the squad's rest area were extremely well hidden, and there was no rush to remove them.
The listening device was extremely well hidden and difficult to detect, but Zhao Bohan deduced from Liu Hui's intention to kill them that there was listening or monitoring in the places where they usually talked.
Zhao Bohan remembered Qin Tianshuo saying at the dinner table that he had a special ability: electromagnetic signal sensing and shielding!
So Zhao Bohan had Qin Tianshuo stay behind and work with the people his brother had assigned to find the listening device.
Faced with the questioning, Qin Tianshuo remained calm and said to Lu Yunbai:
"Please open the video player on my tablet, Commander. There are two videos inside."
These two videos prove that Team 1 fled the scene midway through a pest control operation with Team 2 at the beginning of the year, and even threw an electromagnetic pulse weapon at Team 2; and that during a reconnaissance mission by Team 2 in early March, their spy drone was tampered with! They almost missed crucial intelligence because of this!
Both videos were stored in the cloud by the two team leaders, who plan to submit them to a military court upon their return from this mission.
They discussed this in the lounge.
The other two teams' vehicles were loaded with high explosives for this mission. When they return, you can check if all their injuries were blast wounds!
With these two points, the finger is now completely pointed at Liu Hui.
Several months ago, the courtroom standoff between Team 1 and Team 2 of the Wind Chaser was a hot topic, and many people also know that Zhou Yang is Liu Hui's nephew.
However, this evidence is only indicative and cannot lead to a conviction... Qin Tianshuo, seeing that Wu Zirui's secretary was about to point this out, immediately said:
"Why isn't Minister Liu coming out to explain?"
Don't court summonses usually summon both the plaintiff and the defendant?
Of course, Liu Hui couldn't possibly show up; she had already gone downstairs and headed straight for the parking lot when the farce first started.
However, the military parking lot, the private parking lot in Dongying, and all entrances and exits of Dongying have been guarded.
Liu Hui entered the military parking lot while on the phone, got into an SUV, and the whole process was filmed.
"It seems Minister Liu has fled to avoid punishment." The short, stocky man who once carried a plastic jug and poisoned a nest of snakes with a single drop of poison sneered and sent the photo to Qin Tianshuo.
