"I reckon the police will soon be looking for you to assist with the investigation. With such a major incident, it's certain that the State Security Department and Public Security Bureau will convene an inter-departmental meeting." Li Minghao observed Wang Zheng who hadn't stopped yet and said, "Almost two thousand now, are you tired"

"To be honest, I'm feeling a bit short of breath," replied Wang Zheng as he paused to wipe his sweat with a towel. He added, "Is the State Security Department going to get involved Shouldn't He Yan recuse himself then Could this bring trouble for him"

Wang Zheng's concerns were not unfounded. The act he had committed would undoubtedly have adverse political implications for He Yan. After all, from a surveillance perspective, it almost looked like Wang Zheng was the one who had taken Xu Shuli to the explosion site. This point made him nearly incapable of defending himself.

"I don't think so; after all, he currently has the most say in State Security. If Su Fuhua hasn't forcefully intervened, He Yan would likely be involved as well," Li Minghao had also removed his shirt and started doing push-ups like Wang Zheng did before.

Moreover, "there will probably soon be police officers or agents coming to invite you back for the investigation." Li Minghao said. "If the investigation isn't conclusive, a warrant for your arrest might follow."

"A warrant for my arrest," Wang Zheng couldn't help but curl his lips into a cold smile upon hearing these words. To him, this phrase was an enormous insult.

"As long as He Yan doesn’t recuse himself, everything will be fine. If the higher-ups intervene and suppress it, He Yan can still smooth things over. The mastermind behind this incident wants you to take the blame for Xu Shuli’s death, but we're not going to let them have their way."

"This guy is vicious; after using high-explosive shells, he even employed white phosphorus bombs. He's trying to eliminate me completely," Wang Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "I almost got killed there, but this fellow still left a fallback plan to force my hand by using Xu Shuliang as leverage. His intentions are truly despicable."

Li Minghao nodded and asked, "Do you have any suspects in mind"

"Not the Su family," Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "I can't think of anyone right now. There are too many people who hate me, but I can't recall anyone with the capability to pull off this act. After all, obtaining rocket launchers and white phosphorus bombs in Beijing is no easy feat."

"Furthermore, that gunner managed to commit suicide after poisoning himself, clearly indicating he was a trained assassin from an organization," Li Minghao continued, "Have you thought of what to do Don't you think it’s time to run for the hills I can arrange for your escape to America through Qinghong Group's channels, or Thailand is also an option."

Wang Zheng squinted and chuckled, "Are you really treating me like a fool"

"Haha," Li Minghao laughed as well. It felt great to face challenges together with his brother, giving him the courage to be fearless.

"The safest place is often the most dangerous one," Wang Zheng squinted and smiled, "Now, apart from turning myself in proactively, what other good options do I have"

Li Minghao also smiled, "You can experience how comfortable it is to sleep as a guest of State Security."

The senior officials of the State Security Department and Public Surveillance Department are holding an urgent joint office meeting regarding the explosion incident on the seventh ring road in the capital (the word "Public Security" is a prohibited term, hence the use of "Public Surveillance"). With such a major incident happening, higher-ups have issued orders that this matter cannot be handled independently by one department. Xu Shuliang is a national elder statesman; if news of his death due to an explosion attack on a state leader were to spread, it would be considered a serious threat to national security. Therefore, the case has been transferred to State Security for handling, with Public Surveillance assisting.

"This matter must be dealt with seriously. Otherwise, how can we explain this to our state leaders If we cannot even guarantee their safety, I, as the deputy minister of Public Surveillance, will resign out of self-censure!"

Deputy Minister Lee Jaemin was visibly agitated; clearly, such a major case happening in the capital left him embarrassed and he must have faced stern criticism earlier. The weight of responsibility on his shoulders was heavy.

Fortunately, higher-ups had issued orders to hand over this case to State Security, leaving police only to assist from the side. This undoubtedly relieved Lee Jaemin of a lot of pressure; all he needed to do now was express his position and leave the rest to State Security.

In reality, what Lee Jaemin did not know was that obtaining the involvement of State Security in this case had been fiercely lobbied for by higher-ups. All of this was due to He Yan's initiative. As long as State Security could get involved, it would be greatly beneficial for Wang Zheng.

The bigwigs at the top did not seem as enraged as expected; they only sternly expressed their determination to solve the case in a short time. This left many people puzzled.

Others may not know the reason behind this, but He Yan was well aware of it: everything came down to that old不死的蘇家老頭冇有表態！

(Note: It seems there's an incomplete sentence at the end of your provided text, which reads "Everything comes down to that old不死的蘇家老頭冇有表態！” The phrase "老不死" is a derogatory term meaning 'old-timer' or 'long-lived', but I will translate it literally as 'the long-lived old man from the Su family'. If you wish for any adjustments in translation, please let me know.)

When higher-ups sought opinions from Su Tianran regarding this matter, Su Tianran simply replied indifferently: "Grandfather is not feeling well and doesn't want to be involved in such matters." It was obvious that higher-ups understood the intentions behind Su Fuhua's stance. He did not express any sense of shock or anger over Xu Shuliang's death; thus, it left room for speculation among the bigwigs.

A few high-ranking officials secretly discussed for a long time before finally sighing and coming to a conclusion: Su Fuhua was indifferent about Xu Shuliang's death! Although they didn't know the exact reasons behind this, the result itself spoke volumes!

The majority of these officials were disciples of Su Fuhua, naturally needing to cater to this still-living old immortal. After all, he used to be a pillar of strength for China, someone whose cough could make everyone in the country tremble with him!

If Old Man Su said he wanted an investigation, they would have to do everything possible to conduct it; if no results were obtained within three days, heads might roll! However, if Old Man Su was indifferent about this matter, these officials could play dumb and let the case progress more slowly. There are too many nuances in the political arena, and high-level figures speak very ambiguously. If one misinterprets a single sentence, severe consequences might follow.

Working within the government was far more dangerous than working in any other profession.

The senior officials from the Public Security Bureau and State Security Department present also seemed to understand something from the attitudes of these high-ranking figures. Still, they had no reason to slack off, so solving this malicious case remained their primary task for now.

"Based on our preliminary investigation, we have determined that this person is a significant lead related to this case." The deputy minister of public security pulled up a photo from his computer, and Wang Zheng's figure appeared magnificently on the projector screen.
