Nominal: Hou Liangping blocking the door? He was slapped away!

Shen Zhong returned the greeting solemnly.

"car."

"in front of."

Zhou Weiguo looked around and muttered to himself.

"With this kind of setup, even a mosquito would have to be interrogated three times before it flies in."

Shen Zhong ignored him.

The convoy went straight from the runway into the underground passage without stopping once.

Three gates.

Two identity verifications were conducted.

Full-frequency shielding in one go.

When the last thick door opened, the lights in the top-secret room of the Central Military Commission were already on.

Mr. Xu sat behind his large desk.

The old man was wearing a dark Zhongshan suit, his hair was gray, but his back was very straight. On the table was a table lamp, a purple clay cup, and a pair of reading glasses.

Shen Zhong walked in and saluted.

"Master Xu, the top-secret package has been delivered."

Old Xu raised his hand.

"lay down."

A silver explosion-proof box lay on the table.

thump.

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to weigh down the entire room.

Shen Zhong entered the first password.

Zhou Weiguo entered the second level.

The major general of the Internal Security Department handed over the third layer of combat readiness key.

Click.

The three latches pop open one by one.

Shen Zhong lifted the lid of the box.

The evidence inside was arranged in compartments, including the core page with sealing wax, scanned copies of microfilm, Qin Kewen's personally signed approval document, the fund pool data disk, the same source micro-carved chip, the Q2 chip, and a black leather wallet catalog photo, all of which were sealed.

Old Xu put on his reading glasses.

"Start with the wax seal page."

Shen Zhong brought out the original document.

Zhou Weiguo quickly laid out the dust-free mat and then placed the stacked report next to it.

"Mr. Xu, after four rounds of calibration, the pen tip angle, the pressure of the stamp, the starting pen habit, and the blank space format all match perfectly, with a matching rate of 99.7%."

After reading the first page, Mr. Xu remained silent.

The second page contains the archives of Haizhou.

The third page is personally signed by Qin Kewen.

Page four contains the personal seal.

Page five details the chain of 3 billion yuan flowing out of the country.

The old man turned the pages very slowly.

With each page turned, the air pressure in the room seemed to drop a little.

Zhou Weiguo stood to the side, and his mouth shut up.

Mr. Xu then picked up the micro-carved chip photograph.

"One infiltration device for the northern route, and one drug delivery line for the hospital?"

Shen Zhong said solemnly, "Same batch, same process, same distribution chain, the manufacturing end is still catching up."

Mr. Xu put the photo down.

"What about the Q2 terminal chip?"

"The spectrum of the call from Xishan has been matched, and the transcript of the call is in the third layer of the evidence folder."

Zhou Weiguo immediately handed it over.

After reading those lines, Old Xu tapped the paper twice with his finger.

"Qin Kewen, you really dare to do that."

……

Top Secret Room of the Central Military Commission.

The lamp rested on the table. Old Xu closed the last page of the document personally signed by Qin Kewen and put his reading glasses aside.

The tea in that purple clay cup had gone cold.

Shen Zhong stood in front of the table, his military uniform buttoned up to the top, his epaulets hidden by the light, and an unlit cigarette between his fingers.

Old Xu tapped the data panel of the capital pool twice with his finger.

"Three billion yuan of military funds were transferred abroad, Q-series chips, Xishan communication spectrum, and a personal signature page from Qin Kewen."

No one inside the room responded.

Old Xu said, "This has already crossed the line of the land-based plan."

Just as the duty officer was about to step forward, Old Xu had already picked up the red phone on the corner of the table.

"Connect to the highest-level dedicated line."

The transition tone in the red machine is very short.

Old Xu held the microphone, his back still very straight.

"The original evidence document A in the Frontier Coordination Group's treason case has been delivered."

"Qin Kewen is suspected of using the forward support system to steal military affairs, manipulate local authorities, and transfer war reserve funds."

"I suggest that the Central Military Commission's emergency procedures be initiated immediately."

Shen Zhong looked at the explosion-proof box on the table but didn't touch it.

He knew that once he made that call, the wall of that courtyard in Xishan would no longer be able to block the wind.

Xishan Retired Cadres Service Center.

The backyard lights were still on.

When the chief secretary pushed open the door, his face was ashen. The collar of his black Zhongshan suit was fastened tightly, but his Adam's apple still bobbed slightly.

Inside the rattan chair, Qin Lao had a thin blanket draped over his knees, and the prayer beads were spinning one by one in his palm.

"Old Qin, Shen Zhong has already delivered the blast-resistant box to the top-secret room of the Central Military Commission."

The prayer beads rested in the palm of the hand.

Old Qin looked up, and the sickly look on his face appeared even more severe under the light.

"Who performed the test?"

"Old Xu personally inspected the boxes, a major general from the inner guards was on site, and the confidential room was completely sealed off."

"What about the meeting?"

"The notification has been issued, and the entire duty roster of the Central Military Commission will be in place within twenty minutes at the earliest."

Old Qin pressed down on the Buddhist prayer beads.

"Initiate the scorched earth plan."

The head secretary kept his hand pressed against the seam of his trousers, not moving immediately.

"Old Qin, once it's activated, the Xishan Center will be labeled by outsiders as a violent resistance against the law."

"Let them decide."

Old Qin's voice was very soft, but it completely suppressed the second half of the secretary's sentence.

"I need two hours."

"The laundering of overseas funds is still in the process of finding a way in, and the outside world is also looking for someone to pass on the message."

"So it will take two hours."

The chief secretary bowed his head.

"clear."

He walked to the desk, opened a thick folder, reached his finger under the edge of the desk, and pressed a hidden switch.

pat.

The sound of mechanisms meshing could be heard coming from inside the wall.

The lights in the center of Xishan flashed twice before returning to normal, but in the underground wiring room, rows of external connection indicator lights went out one after another.

The fiber optic cabinet is powered off.

The landline relay was disconnected.

The internal network interface is blocked.

The satellite backup link is physically isolated.

The chief secretary picked up the red-headed document on the table, its cover stamped with a bright red seal.

The highest level of protection order.

Old Qin leaned back in his rattan chair.

"Inform everyone that we are entering the highest level of security protection."

"All doors are for entry only, no exit."

"Who's coming?"

"We'll wait for whoever comes."

Outer guard posts.

The night wind swirled the leaves along the roadside.

The company commander of the guard company had just come out of the duty room when he saw the chief secretary leading two service personnel to the door.

The official documents were laid out.

The chief secretary held the seal face up and spoke in a very steady voice.

"Highest level of protection order, Xishan Center will now enter Level 1 lockdown."

The company commander glanced at the document.

"The Central Military Commission just came to verify the line."

"Verification cancelled".

Who canceled it?

The chief secretary pushed the document forward half an inch.

"You only verify the seal, not the source."

The company commander frowned.

The head secretary stared at him.

"Old Qin is in poor health, and there are people outside who want to use this case to cause trouble. If you let the wrong person in and a safety accident occurs, the entire company will be held responsible."

"But we are on guard duty."

"Our duty now rests on this order."

The company commander was silent for a few seconds, then raised his hand and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Attention all personnel, Level 1 lockdown."

"Magazine check, firearm loaded."

Click.

Click-clack.

One by one, the iron gates surrounding Xishan closed, and searchlights swept across the road, illuminating every guard post line in a white light.

The head secretary stood inside the door, looking at the row of loaded guns, and the ashen look on his face faded somewhat.

He knew that this door wouldn't hold out for long.

But if we can stall for two hours, there's still a way to recover the debt.

Emergency meeting room of the Central Military Commission.

The long table was filled with people on both sides.

Mr. Xu pushed the evidence catalog onto the projection table, and page by page, Qin Kewen's personally signed page, the black leather wallet catalog, the path to the fund pool, and photos of Q-series chips were displayed on the screen.

No one interrupted.

Once the notification that Xishan Center was physically isolated and the guard company had sealed off the gates came in, someone finally slammed their hand on the table.

"Using a guard company to obstruct the Central Military Commission's procedures, what does he take Xishan for?"

"A soldier's gun cannot be used to guard a private property."

"If we back down today, anyone can use a false order to seize land tomorrow."

Mr. Xu raised his hand, and the conference room fell silent again.

"The evidence for the Frontier Coordination Group's treason case is complete, and Nishiyama Qin Kewen is suspected of using force to obstruct the investigation process."

"vote."

"Agreed to immediately lift the armed quarantine on Xishan."

"agree."

"agree."

"agree."

One sound after another fell.

Old Xu closed the voting document and turned his gaze to Shen Zhong.

"Heavy."

"arrive."

Shen Zhong took a step forward, the sound of his boot heels hitting the ground solid.

"The Central Military Commission has made a provisional decision granting you supreme on-site command authority over the disarmament and isolation of the outer perimeter of Xishan."
