NOVEL NEXT Chapter 572: Chen Family Infighting
After finishing dinner, night had already fallen. Lin Mu and Qi Manlin got into the car together. When Qi Manlin's stubborn temper flared up, Lin Mu couldn't persuade her, so he had no choice but to take Qi Manlin back to the police station, otherwise, this girl would take a taxi back on her own!
If the city leadership knew how diligently Qi Manlin was working, they would surely commend her. That's why she, at a young age, was promoted to district chief. For someone like Chen Luyou, it would take at least a decade!
Although Qi Manlin is young, her strength lies in her abundant energy. Her work efficiency is indeed much better than that of people like Chen Luyou. It can be said that she deservedly holds the position of district chief, and with her capabilities, she is more than qualified to be the city chief!
However, Qi Shangjing has already spoken, letting Qi Manlin train at the district level for a while, waiting for the right time to gradually promote her. If it weren't for Qi Shangjing blocking the way, Lin Mu would have already placed Qi Manlin in the position of city chief!
As is known, Qi Manlin was once just a small grassroots officer. With Lin Mu's behind-the-scenes operation, she completed a career path in just a few months that others find challenging to achieve in decades! In the officialdom of Wancheng, this is a quite impressive and inspirational story!
Just as Lin Mu started the car, the phone in his pocket rang. Taking out the phone, Lin Mu answered, "Earth Wolf, any news?"
"Boss, Chen Shiwei appeared just as expected, but he's with Wu Meilian, currently at the port dock!" Earth Wolf reported.
"Oh? Chen Shiwei and Wu Meilian together? Is the information reliable?" Lin Mu asked, puzzled.
"Boss, absolutely reliable!" Earth Wolf confirmed.
Lin Mu was a bit puzzled. As far as he knew, Chen Shiwei and Wu Meilian were supposed to be like fire and water!
The death of Chen Shiwei's mother back then was due to Wu Meilian's direct involvement. Now, these two being together seems a bit puzzling. Can a mouse and a cat live in harmony? This seems somewhat strange!
Damn, the world changes too fast; it seems I really need to take some time to adjust! But thinking about it, it's not hard to notice the tricks within.
"How many people do they have now?" Lin Mu asked.
"According to my information, there's Poison Dragon, plus a bodyguard of Wu Meilian's named Browning, a Russian, and the rest are a few of Chen Yuanzhong's trusted subordinates!" Earth Wolf said.
"Have you figured out what they're doing at the port?" Lin Mu asked.
"I'm not sure, but it seems like something's going on. Otherwise, Chen Shiwei and Wu Meilian wouldn't take so many people there!" Earth Wolf said.
Lin Mu held the phone, a bit puzzled. From what he knew, Shen Yiyin had already blocked Chen Shiwei's port operations on Zhujiang Island, and Chen Shiwei's port has stopped operations! So what are they doing at the port now?
One thing is for sure, Chen Shiwei is definitely up to something! But what exactly, and why take Wu Meilian along? Could it be that they've joined forces? If that's the case, it's simply mind-blowing! This pair of scumbag couples, disgraceful to society... using every antonym in the world on them would not be too much!
"Wait for me at the port, I'll head over to take a look soon!" Lin Mu said over the phone.
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu put away the mobile and started the car again!
"What happened?" Qi Manlin asked.
"Chen Shiwei and Wu Meilian, theoretically incompatible, appeared together at the port, and they brought quite a few people, they must be up to something!" Lin Mu said.
"Then let's hurry over!" Qi Manlin perked up with interest and urged.
"Weren't you going back to the police station? I'll drop you off since it's on the way!" Lin Mu said.
Qi Manlin waved her hand, "No, I'm not going back. The rest can wait until tomorrow. What's crucial now is to see what Chen Shiwei is up to!"
"Uh... didn't you say your work is the most important?" Lin Mu was speechless.
"Less nonsense, this is also part of my duty, hurry up, no time to waste!" Qi Manlin urged.
Lin Mu glanced at Qi Manlin, somewhat helpless, "Alright, you're impossible to handle!"
With that, the two drove towards the port. After more than ten minutes, Lin Mu parked the vehicle on the road not far from the port. Approaching any closer would risk exposure! From the car, Lin Mu called Earth Wolf to confirm the position, and after calling out to Qi Manlin, they both opened the car doors and got out.
Looking up, surprisingly, they saw Earth Wolf waving at Lin Mu from the port entrance. If Earth Wolf dared to stand at the port entrance, it meant outside it was safe. So Lin Mu and Qi Manlin jogged over.
"Boss!" Earth Wolf greeted Lin Mu.
Lin Mu nodded, "What's the situation?"
"The location of the gate is under our control. Chen Shiwei and Wu Meilian have already entered the port, I don't know what they're doing. Their people are experts, so I didn't send anyone in to avoid alarming them!" Earth Wolf said.
"Alright, police flower sister, you wait here. Earth Wolf and I will go in and check it out!" Lin Mu turned to Qi Manlin and said.
"No way, I'm going with you!" Qi Manlin said.
"Damn it, why are you going? It's too dangerous inside, don't add to the chaos!" Lin Mu said.
Because Lin Mu was not assured about the situation inside, he and Earth Wolf went in to assess it. If discovered, they could at least protect themselves. If Qi Manlin went in and encountered danger, they might not be able to take care of her.
"Who's adding chaos? As the Public Security Bureau Chief of East City, I have the right to investigate. Besides, I've got a gun; who dares do anything to me?" Qi Manlin said, touching the gun at her waist.
Lin Mu looked at Qi Manlin, the quintessential Wild Girl, quite helpless. He understood her temperament. Since she insisted on going, persuasion was pointless. Reluctantly, Lin Mu had no choice but to compromise and agree to let her come along.
"Going is fine, but you must agree beforehand to listen to me in all matters and not act rashly, no matter what happens!" Lin Mu said.
"Got it, let's go, stop dawdling!" Qi Manlin waved her hand, urging.
Lin Mu called out to Earth Wolf, and the three of them walked into the port together. The sky had darkened quite a bit, and there were many containers inside the port, with numerous pathways in between, making it difficult to be discovered!
Following the gaps between the containers, the three of them walked deeper into the port. At the innermost part of the port, there was a row of barracks, usually serving as the port's administrative area. Lin Mu observed from a distance close to the barracks, realizing it was essential not to get closer, as any nearer would risk being detected!
