Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 744 - 366: Secretary Liu’s Bribery? Target: Flower Town!

Ma Liguo was resolute.

Gao Meilan knew it too.

Ma Liguo was a good husband.

But once he got stubborn, even nine bulls couldn't drag him back.

So she could only nod in agreement.

Beside them, Han Tiesheng didn't know how to comfort them either.

He had to find something to talk about.

"Old Ma, did that guy from last night send anyone to bother you?"

Ma Liguo forced a smile.

"No. Instead, a few young ladies came over, gave us a fruit basket, and paid for last night's meal."

Luo Fei nodded upon hearing this.

"Old Ma, if you're planning to move your barbecue stand, why not go to Flower Town."

Luo Fei's proposal left Ma Liguo somewhat surprised.

But he quickly understood.

This likely indicated that Luo Fei's next investigation would focus there.

So he readily agreed.

"I got it, Team Leader Luo. I'll close the shop and go look for a place."

Although Flower Town is a county under Changli City.

Business there is likely not as bustling as in the city.

But Ma Liguo learned the barbecue skills from his second uncle since childhood.

So he was not worried about his business failing.

"Excuse me, which one is Boss Ma?"

At that moment, a cold, sharp male voice came from not far away.

Luo Fei and the others looked over, and a skinny middle-aged man with a smile was looking their way.

"That's me, do you have business?"

Ma Liguo asked indifferently.

His instinct told him this person was up to no good.

The middle-aged man hurriedly explained.

"Hello, Boss Ma, let me introduce myself, I am the chairman's secretary of the Xinwu Group, my name is Liu Rende."

"The person causing trouble at your barbecue stand last night is our boss's future son-in-law."

After hearing his explanation and seeing the red velvet embossed business card.

Ma Liguo came to a realization.

"So that person is your boss's future son-in-law?"

Han Tiesheng couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"Oh, the future son-in-law of Xinwu Group, anyone would have thought he was just some street hooligan otherwise."

Han Tiesheng's tone was obviously laced with sarcasm.

The other party could only apologize repeatedly.

"Boss Ma, officers, he caused you trouble last night. I'm here to apologize on his behalf."

Seeing the other party's attitude relatively accommodating, yet his face pale with a forced smile.

Luo Fei casually said.

"No problem, as he was already detained last night, we won't bother him again."

Luo Fei's intention was clear.

He was reminding them that he was acting according to the law and would not cause any extra trouble.

But should they provoke someone again, then he wouldn't hold back.

Secretary Liu quickly agreed.

And he took out a check.

"Also, this money is a small token from our boss, hoping Boss Ma will accept it."

When they saw the number, starting with 3 and six digits long.

Luo Fei immediately became vigilant.

"Secretary Liu, is it usual for your boss to give a large sum of money when his future son-in-laws cause trouble?"

"This kind of conduct is really hard to condone."

Looking at Luo Fei who appeared a bit serious.

His tone was slightly confused and questioning.

Secretary Liu hurriedly explained.

"Team Leader Luo, please don't misunderstand."

"Our boss simply feels guilty towards Boss Ma, due to the trouble his future son-in-law caused affecting his business."

"Besides, Boss Ma is no longer a police officer, just a common man, so this isn't considered bribing a public official, right?"

Seeing Secretary Liu speaking earnestly.

Yet clearly with ulterior motives, trying not to disclose it.

Luo Fei could only seriously say.

"Old Ma, Secretary Liu is right, you're just a common man now, whether to accept this money is entirely up to you."

Luo Fei knew too well that he didn't have the right to make decisions for Ma Liguo.

Not to mention, Ma Liguo indeed needed money now.

This three hundred thousand could help him pay off the mortgage early, and even cover future schooling and tutoring fees for his child.

But Ma Liguo sternly said upon hearing this.

"Team Leader Luo is joking, I'm not someone who forgets integrity for profit. I do need money, but I absolutely won't take money that comes from unclear sources."

Ma Liguo's tone was full of disdain.

This immediately froze the smile on Secretary Liu's face.

But the next second, he reverted back to his previous polite smile.

"Boss Ma, don't be stubborn, you have to open a new shop, don't you need money for the rent, utilities, and cost of ingredients?"

Secretary Liu's words caused Ma Liguo's previously resolute expression to freeze on his face.

But this time, before he could speak.

Gao Meilan had already walked over quickly, snatched the check, and tore it to pieces.

"Everyone present today is witness, we don't want this money!"

Gao Meilan's tone was cold, her attitude extremely firm.

This took Secretary Liu by surprise.

Han Tiesheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Miss Gao is indeed a heroine among women! Worthy of a revolutionary hero's family!"

But Gao Meilan just rolled her eyes at him.

Then turned to busy herself with her own endeavors.

This left Han Tiesheng stunned, and a bit confused.

"Team Leader Luo, did I say something wrong?"

"Is that a question? Old Ma is living well, but you make him out as a martyr, wouldn't anyone be upset?"

Han Tiesheng suddenly realized.

Then followed Luo Fei into the car.

Ma Liguo then seriously said.

"Secretary Liu, you should have heard, I can't accept this money, please leave."
