Liu Jianguo returned from Beijing after attending a seminar on new materials and science (related to mysteries) and went to bed exhausted. In the middle of the night, however, he was awakened by a red-level confidential communication device. Amidst his spouse's dissatisfied grumbling, he entered the secret chamber of his house, lifted the prohibition, and connected to the line.
Five minutes later, he left his home with an unusually solemn expression. The department's helicopter (the Special Affairs Office had been upgraded to a ministerial level) was already starting up on the tarmac. Huang Mingliang hurried over, took over his briefcase, and assisted him onto the helicopter.
Inside the cabin, a high-level inspection team from the Capital's Discipline Inspection Commission had been waiting. Liu Jianguo did not exchange pleasantries with them.
Sitting in his cabin seat, he reflected on the news he had just received and sighed inwardly.
