Chapter 61: Illegally Detaining Military Family mbers?
Li Mu suddenly understood.
At the banquet Wang Longcheng had hosted after breaking through to the Profound Rank, there really had been quite a few leaders from different departnts.
But Li Mu had not been in the mood to rember them one by one.
Zhao Jinhe hurriedly added, “Yes, yes, yes! I was there too!”
“To be honest, we were just talking about you at the table a mont ago.”
“To be promoted to Junior Wolf Guard at such a young age! Truly a promising youth!”
“Your future is absolutely boundless!”
The mont these two leaders entered the room, they instinctively locked onto the person most advantageous to themselves.
They had automatically overlooked Li Mu, but the people behind them had actually noticed him long ago.
Still, they had not thought much of it.
After all, they had not been qualified to attend Wang Longcheng’s banquet.
But now, the mont they heard Deputy Commanding Officer Wang!
Junior Wolf Guard!
Every single one of them broke out in cold sweat!
Thank heaven they had not shot Li Mu any unfriendly looks just now!
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
“So that’s how it is. A pleasure to et you.”
Li Mu had no choice but to stand up and respond politely.
“Oh my, what a blessing for us all, to see three such outstanding young talents gathered in one private room today!”
Li Cangcai laughed heartily.
But inwardly, both he and Zhao Jinhe were utterly shaken!
They still vividly rembered how Wang Longcheng and Bai Tiewei had treated Li Mu at the banquet!
And now, at the age of eighteen, he had already risen to Junior Wolf Guard!
This young man was absolutely not soone they could afford to offend!
He was, in every sense, Wang Longcheng’s man.
Which ant he was military.
A newly promoted military officer, the young master of a financial conglorate, and the son of a powerful law-enforcent figure!
And all three of them were the top three of the Abyss First Battle.
Their hard combat strength as Martial Artists was the real deal.
For these three to sit together drinking like this— that was a small group with terrifying potential!
The power they would wield in the future...
was impossible to estimate.
At this point, Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng had also fully grasped the situation before them.
Lu Chenfeng suddenly felt playful.
With a grin, he said to Zhao Jinhe, “Hey! Weren’t you just asking who injured my arm?”
“It was him!”
After saying that, Lu Chenfeng pointed at Li Mu, then lifted the arm wrapped in bandages.
Zhao Jinhe felt his vision go dark.
What??
Li Mu had actually been the one who injured Lu Chenfeng!
And just now, he seed to have cursed and asked which bastard had done it??
Cold sweat imdiately broke out on his forehead.
As for everyone else, they were all imrsed in shock.
Lu Chenfeng was an S-Grade Talent Martial Artist famous for his defense!
Yet Li Mu had injured him badly enough that he needed bandages?
This Junior Wolf Guard rank had clearly been earned through real fighting.
Naturally, Li Mu knew Lu Chenfeng was being mischievous.
There was no bla for not knowing. The man had only said that to curry favor with Lu Chenfeng.
So Li Mu smiled and waved a hand, indicating that it was nothing.
Only then did Zhao Jinhe finally let out a great sigh of relief, feeling incomparably grateful for Li Mu’s magnanimity.
He was just preparing to offer Li Mu a proper toast.
Li Cangcai said another few words, and the atmosphere quickly beca warm and lively.
The whole group was about to toast the three of them.
Li Mu had already poured the wine.
But then the phone on the table rang violently.
The mont Li Mu saw that it was his cousin Chen Jiaqi, his brows tightened.
After excusing himself, he answered at once.
The room was very quiet.
Even without speakerphone, Chen Jiaqi’s cry was clearly audible.
“Cousin! Sothing’s happened!!”
“What happened? Tell .”
Li Mu imdiately stepped two paces toward the corner and asked in a low, urgent voice.
“People from Comrce and Industry enforcent sealed the shop! They took Mom and Dad away, and Eldest Aunt too!!”
That tearful cry rang clearly in the ears of Li Cangcai and Zhao Jinhe.
Their scalps instantly went numb!
Li Cangcai could not even hold his wine glass steady. It slipped from his hand and clattered onto the table.
“What did you say??”
Li Mu’s voice turned icy at once.
“My brother and I just got back. The shop has been sealed. The auntie across the street said two Comrce and Industry vehicles ca.”
“They frad Mom and Dad, saying they bought raw materials lost by the Zhang Group. They said they were dealing in stolen goods, and then they took all of them away!”
Now that Chen Jiaqi had found soone to rely on, she had cald down a great deal.
In just a few sentences, she explained the matter clearly.
After hearing it, Li Mu slowly turned his cold gaze toward Li Cangcai.
Li Cangcai imdiately felt as though he had been fixed in the sights of a starving wolf!
And he himself seed to be a slab of fresh at!
Li Mu asked in a deep voice, “Do you know where they were taken?”
“I don’t!” Chen Jiaqi cried.
“Wait in the fruit shop for !”
Li Mu hung up and slowly lowered the phone.
The atmosphere in the room had frozen to a terrifying degree. Li Cangcai and the others felt as though even their breathing had stopped.
Zhang Zhiwei was the first to speak.
“It could not have been sothing we lost!”
He spoke with absolute certainty.
A reputation for solid security asures was extrely important.
Even if the Zhang Group really did lose sothing, anything that could be handled quietly would absolutely be handled quietly.
Naturally, Li Mu understood that as well.
He did not even need to think about it to know that the Li family had bribed the Comrce and Industry Departnt to pull this trick.
But there was no point panicking uselessly right now. He first had to find out where his mother and aunt had been taken!
The most convenient route was Li Cangcai standing right in front of him.
Whether or not he was personally involved, the Comrce and Industry Departnt was still his domain!
Li Mu had to put pressure on him.
“Vice Minister Li, if you have any opinion of , you can say it directly.”
“There was no need to drag my family into this.”
“If I’ve done sothing wrong, say it. I’ll apologize to you properly.”
Li Mu said it with a smile.
But his eyes were filled with chilling killing intent!
Wine-Borrowed Might had already activated on its own.
Li Mu had drunk far more than two mouthfuls of wine just now.
The mont Wine-Borrowed Might activated, any monster within five ters would have its courage shaken and its speed greatly reduced.
Let alone this group of pampered officials!
Everyone in the room felt a severe sense of suffocation, and dense beads of cold sweat began to pour from their bodies.
This was not rely psychological.
It was physiological!
They just did not realize it themselves.
All of them took the oppressive pressure of Wine-Borrowed Might’s domain entirely for Li Mu’s killing intent!
“Junior Wolf Guard Li! I absolutely had nothing to do with the arrests!”
“But rest assured, I will handle this matter with the utmost seriousness right now!”
“I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”
Even Li Cangcai’s voice trembled as he spoke.
With shaking hands, he pulled out his phone and imdiately started dialing.
“I only want to know where they are right now!”
Li Mu said coldly.
The most important thing now was to find them first, before anything dangerous happened.
“I know, I know!”
While waiting for the call to connect, Li Cangcai kept nodding desperately toward Li Mu.
The mont the call connected, Li Cangcai roared into it.
He ordered the other side to check the enforcent records imdiately. Right now. At once.
But Fatty had clearly been carrying out illegal enforcent and had no enforcent record at all.
So after quite so ti, Li Cangcai turned back with sweat all over his face.
“Junior Wolf Guard Li, there is no enforcent record.”
“B-but don’t worry. There are only seven branches in the entire Eastern District. I’ll go through them one by one at once...”
Bang!
With a thunderous crash, Li Mu kicked the table blocking his path aside!
Then he strode quickly toward the door, killing intent all over his body, not sparing Li Cangcai and the others another glance.
As he walked out of the restaurant, he took out his phone and called Adjutant Zhang.
This matter did not need to reach Wang Longcheng.
Li Mu’s current identity was that of an Abyss-Suppressing Army officer.
Now that his mother had been taken away, he inherently had the authority to mobilize the security forces of the Military Residential District.
Calling Adjutant Zhang was only to make the process smoother.
Zhang Zhiwei and the others hurried after him as well.
But by the ti they ca outside, they only saw Li Mu vault onto his warhorse and shout fiercely.
Yaogu shot forward, sprang high into the air, leaped directly over four or five cars by the roadside, landed on the main road, and galloped away.
“H-how am I supposed to explain this to Junior Wolf Guard Li!?”
Li Cangcai was so alard that he slapped his thigh hard, completely losing his composure.
Zhang Zhiwei said coldly, “Comrce and Industry enforcent is your territory. If sothing really happens, do you think any explanation will matter?”
“Order your people to begin checking imdiately! Fix this mistake as fast as possible.”
“If you’re too late, no one will be able to save you!”
After saying that, Zhang Zhiwei took Lu Chenfeng and quickly got into his car.
He ordered the driver to move!
The vehicle sped away, chasing after Li Mu.
Zhang Zhiwei had a mount as well, but he did not have permission to ride it within the city.
Riding a warhorse in the city was a privilege reserved for military officers.
Li Cangcai was finally jolted awake by Zhang Zhiwei’s words!
Now the only chance he had was to do everything in his power to make up for this. There was no other way!
While shouting for Zhao Jinhe to get into the car, he also took out his phone and started calling the offices of the various Comrce and Industry Departnt branches one by one.
Zhao Jinhe and Li Cangcai were in the sa boat.
There was no way for him to avoid today’s matter. What was more, he also wanted to perform well in front of Lu Chenfeng.
So after getting into the car, he imdiately contacted every Law Enforcent branch and ordered them all into action!
Li Cangcai was scared half to death!
Li Mu was not driving. He was riding a horse! The aning of that was already perfectly clear!
He was openly displaying his identity as an Abyss-Suppressing Army officer.
And if his family mbers had been taken, then they were military family mbers!
Since they were being held inside the Comrce and Industry Departnt, then this was unquestionably unlawful detention.
Illegally detaining military family mbers!
It looked like soone was going to have catastrophically bad luck today!!
Li Cangcai was the most terrified of all.
Whether that blood would splash onto him depended entirely on whether his handling of this matter could satisfy Li Mu.
