Chapter 40

Brothers, be kind when reading books, add to your favorites and vote. Also, please don't deliberately cause trouble. Where did I plagiarize in Chapter 9? Is it meaningful to say such things?

——

Luo Lin gritted her teeth and did not choose to leave. After walking to Su Mu's side and sitting down, she stared at his profile and asked softly, "Aren't you afraid of him?"

"Afraid? Why should I be afraid of him? Just him, a nobody thug, thinking he can threaten me?" Su Mu said calmly.

"But his father is..."

"I don't care who his father is. This has nothing to do with me. Since he dared to attack a state official in broad daylight, he will surely face the consequences." Su Mu said casually.

"State official?" Luo Lin murmured, "Su Mu, what do you do now?"

"I already said, I'm just a state official." Su Mu said with a smile.

"Hehe!"

Liang Tian, supported by Meng Jiao, managed to stand up and sneered, "You're just a small-time civil servant, yet you dare to play the hero. I guarantee you'll be out of here within three days."

"Is that so? I'll see if you have the ability. Also, Liang Tian, I want to know why you're so confident. The construction project for the primary school in Black Mountain Town, can you just give it to anyone? Are you just boasting?" Su Mu deliberately provoked.

"Boasting? You dare to say I'm boasting! You'll see soon enough. It's just a construction project in Black Mountain Town. What, do you think I can't get it? It's just a matter of a word!" Liang Tian, unable to bear the provocation, stared at Su Mu and shouted loudly.

"So confident? Liang Tian, I guarantee none of your promises will come true." Su Mu said frankly.

"You..."

"Liang Ge, it's Zhao Si and the others!"

At this moment, a piercing siren sounded outside the barbecue stand, and soon a few police officers walked in. When Su Mu saw the person in charge, he couldn't help but smile. This was really a narrow encounter. Wherever he went, he would run into acquaintances. Wasn't this the police chief of the county's comprehensive public security department, Zhao Si, who had been showing off in the antique street?

"Damn, who is so bold to dare to mess with Young Master Liang?" Zhao Si muttered as he walked, his face full of anger.

Indeed, he was in a foot spa, teasing a foot masseuse, when Liang Tian called him. Not to mention that he had been demoted due to the previous incident and was now just a small police station chief in the county. Even before that, if Liang Tian asked him to come, he wouldn't dare to hesitate.

"A Tian, what happened? Why are you like this? Who hit you?" Zhao Si stared at Liang Tian, who looked like a pig's head, and shouted anxiously.

"How dare someone beat you up like this? Is there no law and order? Who is it, step forward!"

"Chief Zhao, you have such great power!" Su Mu said coldly at this moment.

"Who? Ah... it's you!"

Zhao Si, who had been so aggressive a moment ago, turned around and saw who was standing behind him. His face darkened immediately, and he inwardly groaned, "Oh no, how did I run into this trouble again? My luck can't be this bad, can it? Last time it was because of Su Mu that I was demoted. Is this going to happen again?"

Damn, why did I have to come here to meddle in this matter when I was having a good foot massage? I heard about what happened a few days ago. Su Mu has a powerful backer. Someone like me, they could crush with a finger.

Liang Tian, Liang Tian, why did you have to provoke this person? He even dared to hit Xie Minghao. Are you more powerful than Xie Minghao?

To say that Xing Tang County is not small, but not large either, Su Mu has run into Zhao Si twice. But let's see how long you can keep bouncing around this time.

"Lao Ge, who is he?" Liang Tian also realized something was wrong.

"Liang Shao, why are you at odds with him? Don't you know he is Su Mu, the current mayor of Black Mountain Town?" Zhao Si said in a low voice.

"It's him!" Liang Tian's face changed dramatically. To say who was the most prominent in Xing Tang County, it wasn't Xie Minghao, but Su Mu. Su Mu was someone who even dared to deal with Xie Minghao. Why did I have to run into him?

Bad luck, really bad luck!

Thinking of his father's warning never to provoke Su Mu, Liang Tian gritted his teeth. I'll remember this loss and find a way to get back at him later.

"Chief Zhao, this is all a misunderstanding. I've troubled you to come here." Liang Tian then said to Su Mu, "Mayor Su, what happened was a misunderstanding. I offended you, please forgive me."

"Misunderstanding? I don't think it was a misunderstanding." Su Mu said with a cold smile.

"You? Su Mu, don't be ungrateful. I can crush you with a finger. Do you believe me? I can make you lose your position right now!" Liang Tian shouted fiercely.

Liang Tian, who had never backed down, thought that apologizing would make things pass. Who knew Su Mu would be so relentless, and his stubbornness flared up again. Now, no one could stop him! After all, Liang Tian was fickle, even Xie Minghao couldn't match him in this regard.

"Trouble!" Zhao Si was secretly anxious. Liang Tian, why are you pouring oil on the fire? You've really offended Su Mu now!

"Zhao Si, I want to ask, what is the punishment for openly threatening a state official and assaulting a section-level cadre in a public place?" Su Mu said coldly.

"This..." Zhao Si was speechless.

"What? You don't know this?" Su Mu shouted coldly.

"Lao Ge, why are you wasting time talking to him? Arrest them all and take them back." Liang Tian shouted, "Lao Ge, why aren't you making a move? Do you want me to call Director Xue?"

A county official is no match for the current authority!

Zhao Si could continue to stay in the police force and serve as a police station chief thanks to Xie Minghao's help. He knew he couldn't offend people like Xie Minghao and Liang Tian in Xing Tang County. Biting his teeth, he pointed at Su Mu and his group and shouted loudly, "Take them all back!"

"Who dares to?"

Just as the police officers were about to move, a loud voice came from outside, and a figure walked in, none other than Xu Yan's father, Xu Zhengcheng.

"Chief Xu?"

Zhao Si was stunned. He never thought Xu Zhengcheng would be here. Although he wasn't afraid of Xu Zhengcheng, the latter was the deputy chief of the county police, his superior, and someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"Zhao Si, how are you handling this? Can't you even figure out such a small matter? You must be out of your mind to dare to arrest Mayor Su! Who gave you the nerve?" Xu Zhengcheng scolded harshly.

"Chief Xu, I am enforcing the law. I received a report of a fight, so I brought my men to investigate and take the suspects back to the station. What's wrong with that?" Zhao Si said loudly, gritting his teeth.

Zhao Si knew that if he didn't say this tonight, he would be finished by Xu Zhengcheng. Since that was the case, he might as well go all out. After all, he had the backing of Director Xue Feng. As long as Xue didn't agree, what could a marginalized deputy chief do?

"Enforcing the law? Is this what you call enforcing the law? You let the criminal go and arrest the victim?" Xu Zhengcheng shouted.

"Chief Xu, you just arrived, how do you know the situation?" Zhao Si countered.

"Exactly!"

Liang Tian pointed to his swollen face and said, "Chief Xu, can't you see my face is beaten up? Who the criminal is is obvious. Chief Zhao is taking them all back. Who dares to stop him?"

"Such arrogance!"

At this moment, a figure walked out from behind Xu Zhengcheng, scanning the scene with a stern look and locking onto Liang Tian, "Which department are you from?"

"I..."

Liang Tian's face changed repeatedly. He dared to speak to Xu Zhengcheng like that but didn't dare to challenge the authority of this person, who represented the county magistrate of Xing Tang County.

"Can't say, can you? Zhao Si, take them all away now. The county magistrate wants to see the investigation results by tomorrow morning." Lin Shuang said calmly.

"Yes!"

Zhao Si knew that unless he brought out Liang Zhong, he couldn't continue the commotion. Lin Shuang also didn't seem to want to escalate the situation. If he didn't leave this place of trouble quickly, he would surely become a scapegoat.

"Take them all away!" Zhao Si gave Liang Tian a meaningful look and took Liang Tian and his group away, even Meng Jiao was not spared.

Before leaving, Liang Tian glared at Su Mu and Luo Lin, a sinister smile on his lips, indicating he wouldn't let it go.

The big storm seemed to end in this way.

"Brother Lin, Chief Xu, you both came. I'm really sorry to have you see this!" Su Mu walked forward and said with a smile.

Lin Shuang glanced at Luo Lin, smiling, "No problem, in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. If a bird doesn't listen, it gets shot down."

"Exactly, shoot it down!" Xu Zhengcheng said with a smile.

"Gentlemen, it seems we can't continue drinking here. How about we change places?" Su Mu asked tentatively.

"No problem, I know a place with good barbecue. Shall we go there?" Xu Zhengcheng asked.

"I have no objection!" Lin Shuang smiled.

"Alright, let's go!" Su Mu said, then looked to the side, meeting Luo Lin's hesitant gaze, and said calmly, "Luo Lin, the trouble is over, you can go back."

"Thank you!" Luo Lin said, biting her lip.

"You're welcome!" Su Mu then led Xu Yan away, not wanting to say more. What's missed is missed, no need to look back.

But sometimes, once something happens, can it really be as if it never happened?

Luo Lin stared at Su Mu's back, her big eyes blinking, a hint of blush appearing on her fair face. Without saying anything, she turned and left.
