Chapter 744 Mu Xiaoting's Anger (Part 1)
Receiving instructions from Mu Chongyi, Mu Xiaoting nodded in understanding, "Don't worry; Mu Lingshan is not only your granddaughter, she is also my niece. I know what to do."
Hearing his daughter speak, Mu Chongyi sensed a tacit understanding in her eyes and murmured to himself, "This girl...," then waved her off, "Go on."
As his daughter was about to leave, Mu Chongyi's wife hesitated slightly, pulled her daughter aside, and said, "Old Mu, why don't I call two sentinels to accompany Tingting? Would you feel more at ease if the child goes with Xiao Xu?"
"The child? Your daughter has long been an adult." Mu Chongyi took a sip of water and glanced at his wife, "You don't have to personally interfere in everything."
While he said that, Mu Chongyi was pondering who this male friend Mu Lingshan was meeting in the middle of the night.
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoting understood; Dad didn't forbid Mom from going, but he didn't say not to bring any sentinels either, right?
Mu Xiaoting, with Secretary Mu's driver Xiao Xu, called on the paramilitary police and was about to set off. Coincidentally, another cadre in the compound returned from a social engagement, and seeing this, couldn't help but ask a few questions. Hearing that Miss Mu was actually going to the police station to bail someone out, he immediately made a call and arranged for a team to accompany her.
After all, no one living in this compound is a fool. More precisely, many are quite astute. Since Secretary Mu's daughter and driver were mobilized, even if Secretary Mu didn't explicitly state anything, at least he was aware and perhaps even tacitly approved of the matter.
In officialdom, there is seldom any help in dire situations, but a lot of icing on the cake. Moreover, compared to other officials' children, Mu Xiaoting certainly lives up to the word "duty." Having their people accompany her would both earn favor with Secretary Mu and likely be risk-free, so why not?
Whether it was for protection, putting on a show, or simply extending a favor, the team set off with all its gear, feverishly following Mu Xiaoting.
The paramilitary police and SWAT officers were stationed at the police station entrance. When Mu Xiaoting got out of the Red Flag car with a stern face and long strides, they centered on her and charged in.
There was a guardroom at the police station, but the old policeman inside didn't dare utter a peep, almost having a heart attack from the shock. Damn, this scene... was terrifying.
"I'm looking for Mu Lingshan."
When she burst into the police station with armed paramilitary and SWAT officers, this was the first sentence Mu Xiaoting said to the first policeman she saw.
Although she didn't speak loudly, the police station was excessively quiet. As soon as Mu Xiaoting spoke, her voice traveled up to the second floor and reached Mu Lingshan's ears.
Mu Lingshan, pondering what Chu Ge had done earlier, suddenly heard the voice, her face changing instantly. She raised a hand and hit her forehead, "Oh no... why is she here?"
Chu Ge put down the book, turned to look at Mu Lingshan, and couldn't help but feel piqued with interest, "What's up? Who is it?"
Mu Lingshan gave a wry smile, "Mu Xiaoting, Secretary Mu's daughter. That person, oh..."
Upon hearing Mu Lingshan say this, the police officers in the room immediately felt a chill; this woman not only knew Secretary Mu's daughter's name but also dared to casually use a rather irreverent term like "that person."
This... this relationship is obviously not ordinary; it must be so familiar that it can't be any more familiar!
This woman is so close to Secretary Mu's daughter, so how could her ties with Secretary Mu be shallow?
For these policemen inside, they finally personally experienced what it means to be "unable to cry even if they wanted to."
Chu Ge, on the other hand, didn't think of anything else, rolling his eyes at Mu Lingshan, "She's coming out of goodwill to help you, so why do you look so displeased? As if she owes you something?"
Mu Lingshan shrugged, gave a wry smile, and shook her head without further explanation.
Deputy Director Zhou, the stern-faced policeman, Officer Xiao Li, and the policewoman, all had increasingly ashen faces and felt that this so-called "john" might have an even greater background than Mu Lingshan.
Otherwise, knowing that the provincial secretary's daughter had personally arrived, why would he have such an interested expression? Normally, wouldn't you be nervous and apprehensive?
Especially Deputy Director Zhou, who at this point, grudgingly cursed every ancestor of Chang Xin. This bastard... is really setting him up!
Now that Secretary Mu's daughter has arrived, who knows if Secretary Mu will personally inquire about this matter?
Although this matter could be either big or small, if Secretary Mu intervenes and is also displeased, and then decides based on the heavy accusation Mu Lingshan just put on them, it might turn into an unimaginable disaster for them!
Disciplinary action? Dismissal? Ha ha... if it were that simple, their ancestors would be smiling in their graves!
Thump thump thump...
A series of rapid footsteps approached from downstairs. Accompanied by a squad of armed police and SWAT officers, a young woman ascended the stairs and appeared before everyone.
Mu Xiaoting is quite tall for a woman, similar to Mu Lingshan, about 1.7 meters. Her jet-black hair was coiled into a bun at the back of her head. Although it was a neat updo, it appeared slightly fluffy, with a few strands hanging near her ears, giving her an air of elegance mixed with spirited playfulness.
She wore a dark blue blouse, layered with a slightly darker vest, paired with capri pants. Her face was a classic oriental oval shape, with exquisite features, especially her slender eyebrows beneath which lay large, monolid eyes, clear and shining with a distinctive charm.
This aura was both daunting and approachable at the same time, two seemingly opposite traits, yet they coexisted harmoniously in her, making it seem as though she was naturally meant to be this way, all perfectly logical.
However, at this moment, those eyes clearly contained some anger. After locking eyes with Chu Ge for two seconds, she moved to the door and turned her gaze towards Mu Lingshan inside.
As Mu Xiaoting's gaze shifted to Mu Lingshan, it instantly became caring, tinged with a hint of "schadenfreude."
Since the person Mu Lingshan called had arrived, Chu Ge lazily yawned, stood up from the chair near the door, moved it aside, and with a trademark smile on his face, watched Mu Xiaoting enter with the armed police and SWAT officers filing in behind her.
Chu Ge was quite interested in how the daughter of the provincial party secretary would handle this situation. Now, all he had to do was quietly sit back and enjoy the show.
The officers inside the room were already petrified, each standing against the wall with expressions of terror, their faces screaming four large words, "Regret not starting it sooner!"
What puzzled Chu Ge was that not only were the four officers tense, but Mu Lingshan seemed unhappy upon seeing Mu Xiaoting as well. Even though she smiled at Mu Xiaoting, it appeared forced, even somewhat anxious, and she quickly averted her gaze after meeting Mu Xiaoting's eyes for less than a second.
Despite his curiosity, now was clearly not the time to indulge it — there was still business to take care of.
Surrounded by the watchful eyes of the armed police and SWAT officers and staring down the dark barrels of their guns, Deputy Director Zhou finally realized the game was up. With a long sigh, his mental defenses collapsed completely, and he honestly confessed to what needed confessing; any further obstinance would be courting death.
"This issue is actually... just a little joke by Comrade Chang Xin. Yes, at its core, it's nothing more than a harmless, tiny joke."
Hearing this, Chu Ge snickered, while the already furious Mu Xiaoting became even angrier. Despite her exceptional composure, she nearly couldn't resist the urge to grab a gun from the nearby armed police and see what exactly was inside Deputy Director Zhou's head.
A joke? Was he trying to fool ghosts? Even ghosts wouldn't believe it!
"Chang Xin's joke, is it?" Mu Xiaoting suppressed the urge to grab the gun, pointing at Deputy Director Zhou. "Fine, very good, you all, come with us now. Right now, let's go have a clear talk with Deputy Director Chang Xin!"
Burned by the fury of Mu Xiaoting, the daughter of the provincial party secretary, Deputy Director Zhou's legs grew weaker; he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
"Pushing all the blame on others now that it's come to this, huh? Do you all think you're clever doing this? Hmph, laughable! I'll make an exception and say one more thing: My dad towards me..."
Mu Lingshan appeared more anxious, signaling Mu Xiaoting with her eyes. Mu Xiaoting seemed to suddenly realize something, paused slightly, and then continued, "My dad treats Lingshan even better than he treats me! You went all out for Chang Xin, daring to accuse her of prostitution. You really overdid it, huh?"
This time, the eyes of the officers in the room were filled with utter despair.
"Tingting." As Mu Xiaoting spoke, Secretary Mu's driver Xiao Xu coughed lightly and gave her a signal with his eyes.
Xiao Xu, being able to serve as the driver for such a high-level leader, was certainly not a simple person. Since he accompanied Mu Xiaoting, he needed to keep an eye on the situation and help Mu Xiaoting gauge the appropriate level of response when necessary.
Mu Xiaoting was slightly taken aback, glancing at Xiao Xu, her expression finally calming down a bit. She nodded at him, indicating he should take charge from here.
Although she is the daughter of Secretary Mu, she is not part of the political circle, and this was her first encounter with such a situation. Perhaps handing it over to Xiao Xu was the best decision.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Xiaoting turned her gaze back to Chu Ge.
