"Damn it! Damn it! An office director in charge of management and approval in the logistics department, a full-fledged official with the rank of lieutenant colonel, was actually shot in his own office, in broad daylight!"

"Is there any justice? Is there any law?"

Less than a minute after Liang Sicheng killed Wang Jian, in a bulletproof business car heading back to the Logistics Department building, the Minister of the Logistics Department of the H district and his deputy, who were rushing back from outside, received a report from the security team. They were furious and cursed loudly, their emotions running high.

His loss of composure was understandable.

Not to mention that Wang Jian was hand-picked by him and considered his trusted confidant; just the fact that this happened in the Logistics Department, with its terrible impact, meant it couldn't be suppressed and would definitely be known by those above.

Even if the final result of this incident was that Liang Sicheng was dealt with, before dealing with Liang Sicheng, the higher-ups would definitely interrogate him, and in this way, the internal problems of the Logistics Department would also be exposed.

As the head of the Logistics Department, the Minister certainly didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

Because Wang Jian's behavior itself was carried out with his tacit approval, if the higher-ups were really determined to investigate this matter, then he would definitely not be able to escape responsibility!

"Liang Sicheng, ah, Liang Sicheng, I really wish I could tear you to pieces!"

The Minister's temples throbbed with veins, and he slammed his fist heavily on the seat, panting, his brain beginning to spin rapidly, thinking about how to respond.

The deputy sitting next to him trembled and didn't dare to say a word.

Suddenly, the Minister opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "By the way, where is Liang Sicheng being held now? Has the military court come to pick him up?"

The deputy replied, "The people from the security team in the department just called and said that Liang Sicheng is still being held in the security team's detention room, and our people are guarding him! I told them not to let anyone contact him before you get back, and even if the people from the military court come, they have to wait outside!"

The Minister was very pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and he patted the deputy's shoulder, saying repeatedly, "Good! Well done!"

"If that's the case, we still have time, we still have a chance!"

The deputy was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the Minister meant.

"You do this..." The Minister lowered his voice and whispered a few words in the deputy's ear, and then asked very seriously, "Do you understand?"

The deputy's face was full of astonishment, with a hint of panic and fear in his expression, and his voice trembled:

"Mi... Minister, you want me to kill Liang Sicheng? If... if the military court finds out, I will also be brought to a military court!"

"Why are you panicking!" The Minister scolded sternly, "Liang Sicheng can't be taken away by the military court. He is determined to use his own life to mess with us! If he goes to the military court and tells the whole story, the entire logistics department, from me down, will be finished!"

"We can't let him leave the logistics department alive, do you understand?"

"You and Wang Jian are distant relatives, so it's most appropriate for you to do it! Because your motive for killing is not to silence him, but to avenge your relatives, understand? This is called impulsive crime, a crime of passion. In wartime, when there is a shortage of manpower, the court will not sentence you to death!"

The Minister's expression was sinister. Although he was discussing with the deputy, his tone was one of unquestionable command.

The deputy's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he stammered, "Minister, I... I want to consider it..."

"Consider what!" The Minister's brow furrowed, and he stared at the deputy angrily, "I pulled you out of the civilian pile in the shelter, worked around to wash away the record of being an official's relative, let you rise again, and promoted you to be my deputy..."

"Did I do all of this just to hear you say 'consider it' when it's time to use you?"

"I'm telling you, I'm the helmsman of this big ship, the Logistics Department! If it sinks, I'll definitely drag everyone down with me!"

The Minister poked the deputy's chest with his finger and asked, word by word, "Understand?"

Hearing the other party's threatening words, the deputy finally recognized reality. If he did what the Minister said, he might die!

But if he didn't do what the other party said, he would definitely die!

After weighing the two options, the deputy nodded stiffly: "I... I understand!"

The Minister smiled when he saw this, his face full of gentleness, and patted the deputy's shoulder: "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you..."

"The situation is so chaotic now, and maybe the war will start again at any time. The higher-ups won't make a big deal out of this kind of thing. As long as you help me get through this smoothly, I will apply for a promotion for you!"

The deputy's face was numb, and he didn't even notice what the Minister said later.

...

The business car stopped at the entrance of the Logistics Department building.

The Minister patted the deputy's shoulder, took out a pistol from his pocket and handed it to him, and whispered: "Go directly to the detention room in a moment. You are one of us, and the security team will not stop you! Be quick when you strike... don't cause any trouble."

The deputy stiffly took the pistol, put it in his pocket, walked around the building, and went straight to the security team's detention room in the back.

The Minister deliberately stopped at the door for a few minutes before pulling open the car door and jumping out, putting on a look of anger, and shouting as he walked towards the building: "Damn it, where is Liang Sicheng? Bastard, lawless! Dare to shoot and kill people in the Logistics Department!"

"I want to see if he has the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"

The Minister strode forward. Suddenly, he felt that today's Logistics Department was a little different.

In the past, as soon as he came back, people would immediately flock to him, but today the huge Logistics Department courtyard was empty, and even the sentries were gone.

"These people... are all watching the excitement in the office?" The Minister frowned.

He suppressed his anger and walked straight into the building.

As soon as he walked in, he found that all the personnel of the Logistics Department were standing neatly in the hall, with their backs against the wall and their heads drooping, like a group of students waiting for the teacher to scold them.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What are you all doing standing here?" The Minister was furious when he saw this scene. Just as he was about to scold a few words, he suddenly saw a shelter's chief officer trotting out of the office, holding a piece of A4 paper full of words in his hand.

"Minister Liu! What a coincidence!" The shelter's chief officer had a strange smile on his face, stepped forward and grabbed the Minister's arm, and said, "Take a look at this. This is a joint letter written by our chief officers for Liang Sicheng!"

The Minister's brow twitched and he sneered, "Liang Sicheng killed someone. Do you think a joint letter can save him?"

"Take a look first, take a look first..." The chief officer said with a smile, stuffing the joint letter into the Minister's arms.

The Minister glanced at it impatiently. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a name in the corner, and his body instantly stiffened.

"Quick... quick, call the security team quickly and tell them to stop Deputy Officer Wang! Quick!"

A few seconds later, the Minister screamed, his voice trembling, almost crying!
