Chapter 1015: Chapter 1012: The Big Shot Appears
Seeing the information on the webpage, everyone present couldn’t help but gasp, their eyes filled with shock.
They encountered this kind of situation for the first time.
"Who exactly are you?" Hou Yuanping looked at Xu Wendong in shock, even his voice began to tremble.
"I don’t think who I am is important, right?" Xu Wendong smiled and said, "I suggest you close the webpage and unlock my handcuffs and shackles, and let me go."
Hou Yuanping felt a surge of anger, infuriated by Xu Wendong’s arrogant attitude.
He slammed the table heavily and said angrily, "No matter who you are, you cannot break the law!"
Xu Wendong slightly squinted his eyes: "Whether I’ve broken the law, I’m clearer than you!"
"If you want to turn right and wrong upside down, collude with business interests, and frame me, I, Xu Wendong, will not be bullied."
"Are you threatening me?" Hou Yuanping’s eyes widened in anger, though he was apprehensive about Xu Wendong’s identity, Xu Wendong’s previous words made him both angry and ashamed.
Xu Wendong laughed and said, "Do you have a cigarette?"
Hou Yuanping: "Give him one."
Zhou Jianliang immediately took out a cigarette for Xu Wendong and even lit it for him.
Generally, during interrogations, when a suspect requests a cigarette, they oblige.
Because in this situation, many suspects will confess their crimes truthfully.
"Xu Wendong, I advise you to confess to avoid heavier punishment." Hou Yuanping said expressionlessly, "No matter what background you have, everyone is equal before the law. To escape the claws of law..."
Before he finished speaking, his phone rang, displaying the number of the Longyan Political and Legal Affairs Committee Secretary.
Hou Yuanping’s pupils twitched sharply.
He realized.
The Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee calling at this time was likely related to Xu Wendong’s case.
Without thinking further, he immediately pressed the answer button and respectfully said, "Secretary Wang, what instructions do you have?"
Secretary Wang said in a low voice, "Did you capture a young man named Xu Wendong?"
Hou Yuanping replied, "Yes."
Secretary Wang said unequivocally, "Let him go immediately!"
Hou Yuanping looked troubled and said, "Secretary Wang, I really can’t follow your order on this."
"Xu Wendong broke into a home and injured people, his methods were brutal, the impact very bad, we as people’s police cannot be corrupt!"
Although Secretary Wang was Hou Yuanping’s superior, he was not his direct leader.
Not only that, but they also came from two different factions.
Because of this, Hou Yuanping dared to directly refuse Secretary Wang’s proposal to release Xu Wendong.
On the other end of the line, Secretary Wang took a deep breath: "Alright, then just leave it for now!"
"I hope you don’t regret the decision you’re making now."
With that, he hung up the phone directly, his mood extremely agitated.
In fact, he didn’t know Xu Wendong’s background either.
But a minute ago, he received a call from the Southern Theater Command Headquarters.
The purpose was simple, to get Xu Wendong, who was detained at the Longyan Criminal Police Team, out.
If he couldn’t do it, the Southern Theater Command would send people to rescue Xu Wendong in their own way.
The call was quickly connected, and a voice full of authority came through: "Is the matter settled?"
Secretary Wang suppressed his nervousness and said, "The criminal police team did not agree to release him."
The authoritative voice sounded again: "I see."
Subsequently, a series of beeping sounds came to Secretary Wang’s ears.
He returned to his senses, his face pale, looking out into the dark night sky, having a premonition that Longyan was about to change.
------
"Xu Wendong, quickly tell me, who exactly is backing you?" Hou Yuanping looked at Xu Wendong with burning eyes.
He didn’t expect Secretary Wang to call.
But it also indirectly proved one thing.
The people backing Xu Wendong were no ordinary folks.
If he could use Xu Wendong as a breakthrough, he might catch a bunch of people by pulling on this thread.
Xu Wendong sighed helplessly: "I’ve seen many people who strive for success by any means, but I’ve never seen a brainless guy like you."
"Xu, I advise you not to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit." Hou Yuanping’s eyes widened in anger: "No matter who you are, you better follow the rules here."
Xu Wendong’s mouth curled up: "So, are you going to beat a confession out of me?"
Hou Yuanping grabbed a rubber baton, his face showing a ferocious expression: "The process doesn’t matter, the result does!"
Pa!
Xu Wendong lightly exerted force with his hands and feet, directly breaking free from his handcuffs and shackles, regaining his ability to move.
"What?"
The sudden scene shocked everyone in the interrogation room; the handcuffs and shackles were known to be very secure.
But who would’ve thought this guy could break them so effortlessly?
This ability was truly not something ordinary people could achieve.
No further thought necessary.
Hou Yuanping instinctively drew his sidearm, its black muzzle aimed directly at Xu Wendong, as he angrily shouted, "Sit there obediently, or I’ll shoot you dead!"
Xu Wendong sat there quietly, speaking calmly, "I didn’t break the handcuffs and shackles to escape. I simply wanted to show you that if I wanted to leave, no one could stop me!"
"By the way, I’m going to leave soon, and you won’t be able to stop me!"
Hou Yuanping shouted angrily, "If you can leave here, I’ll chop off my head and make it your chamber pot!"
"Leader, something’s happened, leader." Just then.
A duty officer at the door ran into the interrogation room, full of panic and fear in his eyes.
"What’s with the panic?" Hou Yuanping’s face was displeased, but he still asked, "What happened?"
The officer said with a trembling voice, "We... we’re surrounded."
Before Hou Yuanping could speak, Zhou Jianliang was enraged: "Damn it, who the hell has the guts to surround the criminal police team?"
"Let’s go and see." Hou Yuanping’s face was somber as he called the police officers on duty, and a group of them marched out of the office building.
But the moment they stepped out, they were deeply shocked by the scene in front of them.
In front of them, a group of soldiers fully armed with live ammunition stood with stern faces at the entrance.
In the nearby darkness, countless snipers were lurking.
Seeing this formation.
Hou Yuanping and the others immediately turned pale with fright, their eyes filled with terror.
They recognized that these people were from the Southern Theater Command.
But he couldn’t understand why the Southern Theater Command people would surround the criminal police team?
Before he could react, a middle-aged man with a square face stepped out of a Jeep.
Seeing this man, Hou Yuanping instinctively rubbed his eyes, feeling the man’s face was somewhat familiar.
Then he shivered, screamed out in surprise, "Commander-in-Chief Zhao?"
