Chapter 1083: Chapter 1098: So He Really Is the Chief’s Brother

Liu Yiwei escorted Lin Mu to the office door, while Deng Yantao, who was waiting outside the office for news, watched Lin Mu swagger downstairs and couldn’t help feeling puzzled and anxious as he looked at Liu Yiwei.

"Director Liu, why did you let him go?" Deng Yantao said resentfully, after all, his son was beaten to a pulp, at the very least he should be detained for a few days.

Liu Yiwei glanced at Deng Yantao, sighed, and said, "Let it be, it’s not a big deal."

"Director Liu, you think this isn’t a big deal? You’ve seen my son yourself, look at the state he’s in after being beaten, even if we don’t have a police status, as a father, I can’t just let it go like this." Deng Yantao was quite emotional. After all, being his own flesh and blood, the bond is deep, naturally making him extremely resentful towards Lin Mu, and the culprit just walked away unpunished, not even an explanation given, who wouldn’t feel upset?

"I understand how you feel." Liu Yiwei patted Deng Yantao’s shoulder, "Let’s just let Ah Chao’s matter go, after all, he was a bit over the top himself."

"Director Liu, why are you speaking up for the culprit? Even if we were a bit excessive, letting him walk away after beating Ah Chao like that is just unreasonable. Moreover, Ah Chao is a policeman, there should be some explanation, right?" Deng Yantao said.

This matter had been puzzling Deng Yantao all along. The willing Director Liu, who offered to handle it personally, unexpectedly let the person go after just a brief conversation, as if fearing the culprit, without any grounds, surprising and frustrating Deng Yantao!

"Enough, I said let it be, so let it be, don’t dwell on it anymore." Liu Yiwei said.

Deng Yantao, having mixed in the police force for half his life, was somewhat seasoned and, being a captain of the security team, had some insights. Liu Yiwei’s attitude shifted so quickly that Deng Yantao spotted some clues, and couldn’t help but ask,

"Director Liu, he didn’t threaten you, did he?"

"No."

"Then why did you just let him go?" Deng Yantao became even more puzzled.

"His identity is special, he has close ties with Minister Xu, now he’s gone to have a meal with Minister Xu." Liu Yiwei said indifferently.

Deng Yantao was stunned for a moment upon hearing Liu Yiwei’s words, eyes widened, mouth agape as he looked at Liu Yiwei, "Director Liu, what did you say?"

"I said this guy has close ties with Minister Xu, currently he has been invited by Minister Xu for drinks." Liu Yiwei repeated.

After hearing Liu Yiwei, Deng Yantao couldn’t help but tremble momentarily, a ministerial figure inviting this guy for drinks, what did this imply? Both Liu Yiwei and Deng Yantao were naturally aware, causing Captain Deng to break out in a cold sweat.

"He, he really knows Minister Xu?" Deng Yantao asked Liu Yiwei again.

Liu Yiwei nodded, "Mm, not only does he know him, their relationship is quite friendly. At first, I didn’t believe it either, but they spoke on the phone, me and Minister Xu spoke too, and Minister Xu asked me to look after him. So, your matter is insignificant, don’t cause trouble anymore, you messing with him now, are you slapping your own face or Minister Xu’s face?"

"Oh..." Deng Yantao broke out in a cold sweat, luckily Liu Yiwei stopped him in time, if he impulsively went to handle Lin Mu earlier, wouldn’t it have meant being at odds with Minister Xu? Reflecting on his son’s beating, it felt like nothing now.

"Alright, let’s end this matter, also go back and tell Ah Chao not to stir up trouble anymore!" Liu Yiwei patted Deng Yantao’s shoulder and said.

"I understand, Director Liu." Deng Yantao nodded rapidly like a pecking chicken, a mere captain standing under the minister’s majesty was not worth mentioning, avenging his son was hard to think of? Deng Yantao hadn’t even seen Minister Xu’s true face, a minister-level high official was a lofty existence, beyond Deng Yantao’s reach, and the grudge he felt after his son was beaten, somehow suddenly vanished.

Such matters really can’t be helped, only recognizing misfortune, yet for Deng Yantao there was some relief, whether it was Minister Xu’s status or Lin Mu’s strength, both were not to be trifled with, and fortunately Lin Mu didn’t go too far...

Lin Mu walked out of the Haidian District police station, waited at the door for a while, then saw a black Audi A8 pull up slowly. The Audi stopped next to Lin Mu, its window rolled down quickly, and Lin Mu saw a familiar old face, it was his senior brother, now Beijing Public Security Bureau Minister Xu Jie.

Xu Jie looked at Lin Mu, smiled and waved, "Stop staring, hurry up and get in the car."

Lin Mu chuckled, then walked around the front of the car, opened the door, and got in the passenger seat.

"Hey, senior brother, why did you personally drive here?" Lin Mu asked with a smile after getting in.

"Why? Is that not okay? Now the central government calls for streamlining, no more assigned drivers, of course, driving oneself is more comfortable! Go wherever you want without excuses, and by the way, you’re still the same, haven’t changed a bit." The brothers hadn’t seen each other for a while, with many topics to discuss, the talk was lively.

"Alright, let’s go, the two of us have a few drinks." Lin Mu chuckled.

Soon, Xu Jie personally drove to the bureau’s guesthouse, since the current central initiative is anti-corruption, they couldn’t go to a starred hotel, moreover, the two tend to keep a low profile, and besides, the bureau’s guesthouse isn’t shabby, the tobacco and alcohol are special supplies, the food is organic, absolutely abundant and nutritious.

The two found a private room, ordered a few dishes, the special supply tobacco and alcohol were prepared by the staff, soon the meat and vegetable dishes filled the table, Lin Mu opened a bottle of special supply Maotai and poured a cup for Xu Jie, then poured one for himself.

"Here, senior brother, I toast you this glass, bottoms up." Lin Mu said, holding up his glass.

Xu Jie laughed heartily, then lifted his glass boldly, "Alright, bottoms up."

Lin Mu and Xu Jie clinked their glasses, then drained the contents.

After drinking, Xu Jie exhaled softly, and then asked, "Pity our master is busy upgrading equipment for the Divine Wind Special Forces, so I couldn’t invite him..."

"Pfft!" Lin Mu almost spit out his drink upon hearing the old man mentioned, "Senior brother, don’t, don’t ask that old man here! I’m afraid he’ll kick my butt..."

"Haha," Xu Jie laughed, "You guys, grandfather and grandson, still the same as before, especially you, still like causing trouble everywhere!"

"This time it wasn’t me causing trouble, it was those stupid cops forcing my hand, okay?" Lin Mu argued.
