The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

"If that's true, then the Chen Family is not far from falling apart. Although Chen Shiwei is quite capable, he's still a long way from the chairman's level. What I'm worried about is Chen Yuanzhong—that old guy isn't easy to deal with!" Sophie said.

"Just wait and see, sooner or later the Chen Family will be in chaos, and if that happens, the final winner will definitely be Chen Shiwei!" Lin Mu said.

"Oh? Why's that?" Sophie asked in confusion.

"I don't know, it's just a feeling!" Lin Mu said.

"I don't think so. You don't know Chen Yuanzhong, but I do—old ginger is spicier!" Sophie replied.

"Haha, no matter how formidable Chen Yuanzhong used to be, he's old now, so his teeth aren't as sharp as they were!" Lin Mu laughed.

"We'll see in the future. What's your next move?" Sophie asked.

"Continue to put pressure on Chen Shiwei and also watch the drama unfold in the Chen Family!" Lin Mu grinned.

"Are you suggesting Chen Shiwei will actually make a move against Chen Yuanzhong?" Sophie asked.

"It shouldn't take long to know if he will!" Lin Mu stood up, saying, "Okay, I have to go handle something. Call me if anything comes up!"

"Alright, go ahead!" Sophie nodded.

...

Lin Mu left Yunhai Mansion and called Qi Manlin! "Hey, police flower girl, what are you up to?"

"Just reading some files in the office. What's up?" Qi Manlin asked.

"Wait for me at the police station, I need your help with something." Lin Mu said.

"What is it?"

"It's hard to explain over the phone, I'll tell you when I get there!"

Lin Mu said, hanging up and driving straight to the East City Police Station. About ten minutes later, Lin Mu arrived at Qi Manlin's office.

"Hey, police flower girl!" Lin Mu pushed open the office door with a big smile, walked in, and closed it behind him.

Qi Manlin rolled her eyes at Lin Mu, "You jerk, what do you need from me, sis?"

"Hehe, just missing a beautiful lady, thought I'd come see my big beauty!" Lin Mu grinned.

"Bastard, be serious, what do you want from me?" Qi Manlin asked.

"Help me investigate someone!" Lin Mu stepped forward and said.

"Who?"

"Wu Meilian!"

"Oh? Who is Wu Meilian?" Qi Manlin asked.

"The wife of Chen Yuanzhong, the old man from the Chen Family. Check if they are legally married or not?" Lin Mu asked.

For a police station director like Qi Manlin, investigating such things was easy, so Qi Manlin opened the office computer and pulled up Wu Meilian's information. "In the records, Wu Meilian and Chen Yuanzhong have no marriage registration, so they are not legally married!"

Lin Mu nodded, just as he expected. Although Wu Meilian was nominally the madam of the Chen Family, Chen Yuanzhong had never registered with her. It's unclear whether this was some deep strategy by Chen Yuanzhong or if he simply didn't care, but it's not important now!

"Alright, now check Chen Yuanzhong's household registration file for me!" Lin Mu said.

Qi Manlin nodded and quickly pulled up Chen Yuanzhong's file, "In Chen Yuanzhong's household registry, it's just him and Chen Shiwei!"

Lin Mu nodded, "Alright, thanks, sis!"

"By the way, why are you investigating this?" Qi Manlin asked.

"As you know, the situation between the Chen Family and us is like water and fire. You need to know your enemy to win a hundred battles, right? The more I know, the more confidence I have!" Lin Mu grinned.

"Tch!" Qi Manlin waved dismissively. This weirdo Lin Mu certainly wasn't just trying to understand the situation, but since this weirdo didn't want to say more, Qi Manlin didn't press further.

"It's almost time to get off work. How about dinner together tonight?" Lin Mu asked.

Qi Manlin checked the time and shook her head, "No way, I still have unfinished work."

"Ah, come on, you can finish tomorrow. If you finish everything at once, what's the point of coming to work?" Lin Mu felt a bit sick at the thought of working again.

"There's tomorrow's work for tomorrow, you think I'm so free?" Qi Manlin pouted.

Lin Mu looked at Qi Manlin, thinking this girl was just too devoted and responsible. If you can't get off work when it's time, you might as well be an ordinary police officer. Isn't promotion to director supposed to make life easier? Otherwise, what's the point of being a director? Besides, there will always be more work to do, managing your time wisely is what's important!

"No, today I'll make the decision for you. Finish the rest tomorrow. I don't believe that if you do it tomorrow, the whole Public Security Bureau will collapse or something. Enough, it's time to finish up, let's go eat!" Lin Mu said, grabbing Qi Manlin's hand and heading out.

"You jerk, I'm not done with my work yet, let go of your hand!" Qi Manlin said.

"Nope, I'm insisting you do it tomorrow. It's after hours now!" Lin Mu said, pulling Qi Manlin out of the office building.

Once downstairs, Lin Mu pushed Qi Manlin into the car, then got into the driver's seat himself.

"You jerk, if my boss scolds me tomorrow, I'm coming for you!" Qi Manlin said, pouting and clenching her small pink fist.

"Hehe, you're the big director of the station here, you're the highest-ranking official. Who would dare to scold you?" Lin Mu grinned.

"Hmph, what if it's a big leader from above?" Qi Manlin said.

"Haha, that's even less likely. First, you're getting off work at the normal time, even the minister of public security can't say anything. Second, based on achievements, no district director is as strong as you. Who could criticize you?" Lin Mu said.

"Hmph!" Qi Manlin huffed, turning her head away, speechless.

Lin Mu started the car and drove out of the Public Security Bureau!

"Where do you want to eat?" Lin Mu asked in the car.

"How about Qingfeng Buns?" Qi Manlin suggested.

"Sure!" Lin Mu agreed immediately, "You have good taste. That's the place where President Yu from the central eats!"

"Dream on, that's Beijing's Qingfeng Buns, a century-old brand!"

"The taste here isn't bad either, it's Dongguang's branch, haha!"

...

About five minutes later, Lin Mu parked the car in front of Qingfeng Buns, opened the door, and the two of them walked in together. Once inside the restaurant, they ordered a few cold dishes, and as the dishes came up, Lin Mu and Qi Manlin chatted while eating!

"Jerk, after dinner, send me back to the station so I can wrap up my work before heading home!" Qi Manlin said.

"Come on, beautiful, can't we avoid talking about work while eating? There aren't many responsible directors like you around!" Lin Mu said.

"Hmph, it's my job responsibility."

"Ugh..." Lin Mu was speechless.
