The atmosphere in the reception room immediately turned icy cold.
General Ji and Chairman Long did not look happy.
They had just extended an olive branch to the Prime Minister on account of the fact that Dou Qingyan's slip-up had had "no serious consequences"—and now they were forced to eat their words!
The two of them glared at Prime Minister Dou.
They had been thoroughly humiliated, and it was all because of the Prime Minister!
Huo Shaoheng's face grew solemn. He bowed politely to General Ji, Chairman Long, and Prime Minister Dou, before saying gravely: "Please excuse me, I have to deal with the loss of two of my soldiers. I will report to both the military and the parliament once I finish my investigations."
The Special Operations Forces was part of the military. Huo Shaoheng had to report to the military Supreme Council and the Senate, but he did not actually have to report to the Prime Minister.
