Ten minutes later, in the bureau headâs office.
The elderly bureau head carefully poured and served a cup of tea as he studied the aloof bigshot sitting on the sofa, for fear that he might make any mistake and upset the man as a result.
âItâs a misunderstanding! Itâs nothing but a big misunderstanding, sir! I apologize for causing an alarm! I... Iâm truly ashamed of how my men handle things! It makes no sense that Young Madame Mu would do something so stupid as to destroy her bright future by committing murder. No one would believe it at all!â
Ignoring the cup of tea that he was offered, Mu Yazhe snorted and said detachedly, âRun an investigation on your men. Like some mad dogs, theyâve been barking and biting on the innocent and refusing to budge on this case. They were obviously bribed.â
âYes, yes, yes! Iâll definitely look into this! You mustnât take this matter to heart, though! Youâre a great person with a magnanimous heart. Surely, you wonât make things difficult for me over this trivial matter, will you? If I knew that itâs you, Iâd never dare go against you no matter how gutsy I might be!â
...
The office door soon opened, revealing the bureau head repeatedly expressing his gratitude as he showed the man out.
His subordinates outside exchanged shocked looks as they took a second glance at their head, who was unctuous in humbly fawning to the man.
It turned out that the man had quite the background for their bureau head to put down his pride and pander to him.
No wonder he exuded such an imposing aura. It appeared that he was no simple figure, after all!
They were blind enough to offend someone they should not have this time.
Upon seeing them, however, the bureau head sent a death glare in their direction before turning his head over with a fawning look again. As he rubbed his hands together, he carefully probed. âChairman Mu, do you want to stay for a while more?â
âNo. I still have something on.â
âOh, yes! Thatâs right! Youâre a busy person, after all! Iâm truly sorry for causing you trouble when youâve got plenty of things to tackle! In that case, Iâll show you out!â
âNo need for that!â
The sight of the bureau head himself irked the man greatly. After turning around to call his assistant and his wifeâs manager, he promptly left the station.
After finally sending the esteemed guests away, he pulled out his hankie and wiped the cold sweat that had accumulated on his forehead. He then turned around and assumed his usual, authoritative look.
âThe gall of you people! How dared you interrogate that man?!â
That thunderous roar practically sent the entire station shaking.
His subordinates exchanged glances and hung their heads low in guilt.
âWhoâs in charge of this case?! Step out now.â
âI-I...â
A newbie officer obediently came forward.
âHave you got any idea who youâve just offended?! Why didnât you check his background before conducting the interrogation?â
âI-I was only acting on orders.â
âWhose orders?!â
âChief Wu...â
The bureau head narrowed his eyes. âWhere is he now?â
âHe injured his legs, so he was taken to the hospital.â
âGet him to find me once heâs back! I have things to ask him.â
âYes, sir.â
...
Inside the car.
Looking downright frosty, Mu Yazhe ordered his assistant, âSend someone to the Song residence right now to capture Enya. Once we return to the capital, go conduct a thorough investigation of this entire matter.â
âYes, sir.â
Being astute, Min Yu asked, âBoss, are you suspectingââ
âOther than the Songs, no one else in the capital is capable of doing such a thing. Even if there is anyone, they have no motives to do so.â
In hindsight, that missy had indeed set up a terrifying ploy.
