In Mu Xiaoting's sight, Chu Ge's mouth twitched, his lips trembled, and he took a sharp breath of cold air, followed by a bitter smile on his face.
If it were a regular day, being poked a few tis by a weak woman like Mu Xiaoting would be nothing to Chu Ge. But today, he was already injured.
If it was just the injury, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Mu Xiaoting's finger, full of fiery energy, landed directly on his wound. It was predictable that the nail must have caused it to reopen. No wonder he felt the pain.
What a lousy day! Why am I having such bad luck? First Mu Lingshan punched without a word, and now this Mu Xiaoting pokes the exact sa spot. What's with these Mu won and their fondness for such a routine?
No wonder they share the sa surna with Mu Guiying. When they start a fight, they certainly don't hold back!
Seeing the helpless, angry, and slightly pained expression on Chu Ge's face, Mu Xiaoting couldn't help but be a little stunned, "What's wrong with you?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Mu Xiaoting saw a streak of crimson where she had just poked him, which soon began to expand. Without a doubt, it was the color of blood.
Mu Xiaoting was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly for a good two seconds before looking down at her own fingers in confusion.
Impossible, right? Even though she used a lot of strength, she didn't expect to poke a hole through him. Since when did she beco so strong? Is Chu Ge's body made of tofu?
Seeing the red spot on Chu Ge's chest growing, Mu Xiaoting panicked completely, "Are... are you okay? I... I didn't an to."
"It's not your fault, it's just..."
Chu Ge smiled bitterly and waved his hand, suddenly realizing sothing. Hey, didn't those two cops want to ss with him earlier? Shouldn't he pin the bla on them, given their earlier malicious intent?
Chu Ge glanced at Deputy Director Zhou and the black-faced police officer with the corner of his eye, his expression showing a bit of deliberate hesitation, subtle but noticeable.
Mu Lingshan rubbed her forehead. This guy, he's up to no good again.
Mu Xiaoting didn't know Chu Ge. When she saw his expression, she frowned slightly and looked over at the two policen, following his gaze, "Could it be... they tortured you?"
Chu Ge remained silent, appearing even more hesitant. Mu Xiaoting furrowed her eyebrows tightly, "Take off your clothes, let see."
Chu Ge's expression seed even more conflicted, and Mu Xiaoting beca more convinced of her suspicions. Without further ado, she reached for Chu Ge and carefully but decisively removed his upper clothing.
Gazing at the wounds all over Chu Ge's upper body for a few seconds, Mu Xiaoting turned her head away abruptly, her eyes icy cold, "Well done! I had heard of such things happening, but today I've witnessed it firsthand!"
Mu Lingshan quietly rolled her eyes. Chu Ge, this guy, is quite cunning. But since he's doing this, those two cops who interrogated him earlier must not be good characters. Having hats pinned on them serves them right.
"I... I..."
Facing Mu Xiaoting's icy stare, Deputy Director Zhou stamred. No matter how hard he tried to explain, his face flushed blue from holding back. But after suffering one severe blow after another, he stamred for a long ti without saying a word.
"What do you an, I? Didn't you enjoy hitting earlier?" Chu Ge glanced at Deputy Director Zhou with full indignation, "At this point, what else is there to say?"
The wounds on Chu Ge's body were like the final straw that broke the cal's back. Deputy Director Zhou completely broke down, overco with terror and grievance, he flipped his eyes, and with a "thud," fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and fainted.
Chu Ge looked at the black-faced police officer, "And you, don't forget to include all this when you write your statent."
The black-faced policeman's pupils shrank, his body trembled, and with a "thud," he followed in Deputy Director Zhou's footsteps. His last thought before fainting was, "I'm innocent! I was the one who got beaten up just now!"
"Scum!" Mu Xiaoting snorted angrily. Her eyes shifted back to the wounds on Chu Ge, which made her heart race. Her big eyes showed trendous guilt and concern, and she bit her lip in confusion, "I'm sorry, I..."
Chu Ge grinned, "It's alright, using my body to root out the scum in the police force is a contribution to social harmony. It's my honor."
Mu Lingshan, driver Xiao Xu, and the nearby ard and special police officers twitched their faces. This guy is simply... sha! Less! "Do you really think we're blind? These wounds on his body may be new, but it's obvious they weren't freshly inflicted! And to say that... how can he say that with a straight face?"
Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoting had never experienced anything like this before and was completely duped by Chu Ge. The disgust in her eyes just monts ago faded away, replaced by sudden enlightennt and absolute admiration.
So he didn't want to see her dad because he was injured. He never ntioned this, probably not wanting to make a big deal out of it and cause her trouble or add more burdens to her dad, right?
With this thought in mind, Mu Xiaoting solemnly said, "Chu Ge, I really wronged you. I formally apologize for my attitude earlier. I'm truly sorry. Is your injury alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Feeling Mu Xiaoting's sincerity, Chu Ge gave a sheepish smile. Wasn't this girl able to tell that he was just joking? Did she have to be so serious and formal about it? It made him a little embarrassed.
"It's fine, I'm thick-skinned. I'll be good in a few days."
"But..." Mu Xiaoting bit her lip, wanting to reach out to touch Chu Ge's wounds, but hesitated.
"Hey! Really, it's nothing. It's quite late now, let's just wrap this up and head ho."
Seeing Chu Ge's bright smile, Mu Xiaoting hesitated for a mont but eventually nodded.
Under Mu Xiaoting's direction, a soldier rudely woke up those two guys on the ground. They exchanged bitter glances but then miserably continued to write their statents.
In the midst of great agony for the whole police station's staff, these fierce troublemakers finally left with so evidence materials.
anwhile, in a luxurious private room at a high-end nightclub, Chang Xin and Chen Yujie were having a great ti. They were no longer just two grown n drinking in silence because now they each had two young girls with them, entertaining, singing, and even sleeping over.
Chang Xin was already a bit tipsy, but he kept gripping his phone tightly, still waiting for Deputy Director Zhou to bring him good news.
A vibration from his hand made Chang Xin's eyes light up. He patted the behinds of both young won, signaling them to leave temporarily.
Watching the two girls with him head to the door, Chen Yujie was secretly delighted and withdrew from one of the girls, dismissing the two beside him as well.
Pausing the audio equipnt, Chang Xin lazily leaned back on the sofa, put his feet up on the coffee table, right foot over the left, and very leisurely answered the constantly vibrating phone.
"Old Zhou, just call once. I see it; I'll call you back. No need to keep calling. Haha, by the looks of it, everything's sorted out?"
Chang Xin was genuinely elated at this mont and didn't bother with formalities, turning and giving Chen Yujie a sly grin, putting the call on speakerphone.
"Director Chang, you... sigh!"
Upon hearing a sigh on the phone, Chang Xin thought nothing of it, thinking maybe Deputy Director Zhou was a bit stressed or perhaps complaining that the money wasn't enough, and hastily pressed him.
"Old Zhou, what's past is past, no need to feel pressured. I'll treat you to a al soday. So, what's the situation now?"
"This... got screwed up."
"Hahaha, I knew with you, Old Zhou..." Chang Xin's laughter abruptly stopped as he suddenly realized sothing was off, urgently asking: "Wait? What did you say just now? Say it again?"
"I said, this got screwed up. That girl Mu Lingshan is Secretary Mu's granddaughter. Just now, Secretary Mu's daughter ca and took Mu Lingshan and Chu Ge away. Sigh... Director Chang, you really, really sunk this ti!"
Old Zhou's voice ca through the phone again, and the expressions on Chang Xin and Chen Yujie's faces turned extraordinarily dramatic. It took a while for Chang Xin to swallow a gulp of saliva, speaking with utmost uncertainty.
"Secretary Mu? Which, which Secretary Mu? You... you're not saying... it's..."
"Yes, it's Provincial Secretary Mu Chongyi. Looking across our Nanyun Province, is there another Secretary Mu? Not only did Secretary Mu's daughter show up, but so did Secretary Mu's driver, and even more than a dozen ard soldiers and SWAT officers! Just now, it felt like they could blow my head off at any mont!"
Old Zhou's voice carried a restrained hysteria tinged with utter bitterness.
Honestly, he wanted very much to curse out Chang Xin, but he knew he couldn't do that. He had already hit a dead end and had to leave himself a way out, though even that possibility seed infinitesimal.
As Old Zhou's words sank in, Chang Xin's mind went "buzz," his body shivered suddenly, and sweat oozed from his forehead, thoroughly sobering him up.
"Old, Old Zhou, you can't be joking with , right? Your... your joke is really not funny at all."
Chang Xin swallowed a gulp of saliva with difficulty, staring blankly at the phone, clinging to the last thread of hope.
