126: Wang Jianshe was poisoned.

Xiao Niannian heard that several leaders had a conflict over today's matter.

"In recent years, our Military Region has received numerous complaints, all concerning actions taken by their Committee. This time, the Yangcheng Troops asked for our cooperation, so we will cooperate thoroughly. We'll strive to catch all these people in one fell swoop and eradicate this tumor..."

Commander Lin was very persistent.

"Commander Lin, Division Commander Yu from Yangcheng is on the phone."

Hearing his subordinate say it was Division Commander Yu from Yangcheng, Commander Lin picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"Old Lin."

"Old Yu."

"How are things going?"

"The person has been brought back and is currently under investigation..."

The two talked on the phone for quite a while.

Just as Commander Lin and Division Commander Yu were talking happily, a soldier's voice came from the doorway.

"Report."

"Come in."

Commander Lin's gaze turned to the doorway.

"There are people from the Provincial Committee at the door. They say we arrested their Director Wang..."

Wang Jianshe was the Director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Committee, not the Director of the Provincial Committee itself.

However, Director Long, the Director of the Provincial Committee, also highly regarded Wang Jianshe.

The Director of the Provincial Committee held a position as high as the Provincial Secretary. That's why Wang Jianshe was so arrogant.

Upon hearing this, Commander Lin immediately said a few words to Division Commander Yu.

After hanging up the phone, Commander Lin had a few people from the doorway invited in.

The person who came was another director from the Committee, the Director of the Office, surnamed Zhu.

"I am Director Zhu from the Provincial Committee, Commander Lin. I heard that people from your Provincial Military Region arrested our person. This must be a misunderstanding, and I'm here today to clear it up..."

Commander Lin listened to Director Zhu's words and chuckled.

"Director Zhu, this matter is truly not a misunderstanding. We received notification from above that the person Director Wang and his group tried to apprehend is a comrade from the Reconnaissance Battalion of a certain Military Unit in Yangcheng, and they were on a secret mission..."

They already knew about this matter. But Director Zhu and the others felt that the people from the Yangcheng Military Unit were just making a fuss, deliberately targeting the people of their Xiang Province Committee.

"This matter is indeed a misunderstanding. I, Zhu, will have Director Wang and his group apologize to the comrades of the Yangcheng Military Unit..."

Commander Lin listened to Director Zhu's insincere words; their condescending attitude made even an apology sound dismissive.

These Committee members simply didn't take the people from their Provincial Military Region seriously.

"You think a mere apology will cover up the matter? And you want to take the person back? Impossible. We are already investigating this incident..."

Hearing Commander Lin's words, Director Zhu's expression changed.

He had thought that by showing a little humility this time, he could get the Military Region to drop the matter. He never expected Commander Lin to be so stubborn, not even giving them an inch of face.

If Director Wang couldn't be taken back today, their Committee would suffer a huge embarrassment. Who would take their Committee seriously after that?

If the matter reached the Capital City, they would also be reprimanded by the higher-ups, and what could they accomplish then?

"Commander Lin, although we are two different departments, we both serve the country and the people. This matter today, Director Wang and his group indeed acted improperly. However, Director Wang was indeed misled by his subordinates..."

Director Zhu still wanted to persuade Commander Lin to humble himself for now and get the person out.

He could take revenge later, slowly.

He didn't believe the Provincial Military Region was an impenetrable fortress; he could always find some trouble for them later and deal with them.

This Commander Lin was from the Lin family in the Capital, so he couldn't be easily provoked.

But Director Zhu didn't expect that even with his humility, Commander Lin still wouldn't budge.

He was furious.

"Could it be that Commander Lin wants our Director Long to personally come and pick up the person before you are willing to release them?"

Director Long was extremely busy, and Commander Lin's status was not as high as Director Long's.

If the conversation reached this point and Commander Lin still didn't back down, then they and the Provincial Military Region would be at loggerheads from then on.

"Director Zhu, please go back. The person cannot be released. We will inform you of the situation after our investigation..."

"You!"

Director Zhu never expected Commander Lin to be so inflexible. This was a deliberate slap in their face.

Although Xiao Niannian was in the room, she heard everything they said within a dozen meters.

Xiao Niannian also knew Director Zhu's identity.

Xiao Niannian also had some guesses about Commander Lin's identity. After all, someone who could make Director Zhu and his group not dare to act rashly must indeed have an extraordinary background.

Otherwise, these people would probably have just barged in directly.

Such things had happened before.

"In that case, we will invite Director Long to come and talk to Commander Lin."

Director Zhu angrily slammed the table, but still couldn't get Commander Lin to release the person.

After returning to his unit, he reported the matter to Director Long.

Director Long and Commander Lin usually kept to themselves, not interfering with each other.

"Since that's the case, I'll make a trip."

Director Zhu was very happy to hear Director Long say he would make a trip.

"Will they release the person?"

"No," Director Long said with certainty.

What?

Director Zhu looked at Director Long in surprise.

Did these people from the Provincial Military Region have the guts of a bear and a leopard? Director Long personally came, and they still wouldn't release the person?

Could it be that Director Wang really committed some serious error?

Otherwise, why would the people from the Provincial Military Region act like they were crazy?

In the evening, Xiao Niannian was half-asleep when she heard Director Wang cursing.

"Are they really not going to care about me?"

"Impossible."

"How could they allow the people from the Provincial Military Region to do this?"

"Director Long will definitely save me."

Xiao Niannian felt that Director Wang was acting strangely.

Waking up in the morning, she heard someone delivering food to Wang Jianshe and the others.

"Oh no, the food has been poisoned."

"Quickly send for a Military Doctor."

Xiao Niannian heard the commotion and immediately walked out.

She saw many comrades-in-arms running around downstairs.

And Wang Jianshe's voice rang out.

"It hurts so much..."

"They actually poisoned the food."

"How cruel."

"I refuse to accept this..."

Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing and the others running towards where Wang Jianshe was being held, and she followed them.

"How could this happen?"

"Where is the person who delivered the food?"

"Investigate everyone who has been here from last night to this morning..."

Commander Lin's voice rang out.

After so much effort from several parties to work together, lure the snake out of its hole, and catch a considerable fish, something went wrong on his territory.

"This Wang Jianshe has been poisoned."

"Quickly send someone to the Military Region Hospital."

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian saw Wang Jianshe's pale face; he was already unconscious.

The steamed buns and porridge next to him were spilled on the ground.

"Quick, lay him flat, save him..."
