"Captain Niu, is it? You sure have a big mouth. Are you really going to shut down this place?"
It was Su Mu!
The moment Su Mu stepped forward, Luo Lin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, quietly relaxed. Although she didn't know if Su Mu's identity as the mayor could actually help, if anyone here had the best chance to stand up to Lu Ming, it was Su Mu.
At this moment, Luo Lin didn't even think about whether Su Mu standing up and failing to resolve the issue would affect his future career. She just stubbornly believed in Su Mu, a very peculiar feeling.
Compared to Luo Lin's relaxation, Yang Xiaocui was still tense. She hadn't expected Su Mu to step forward, but even if he did, what could he do? This was Xing Tang County, and the person in front of them was Lu Ming. With Su Mu's current status, he was probably just a small clerk in some bureau. Would his words have any effect?
Moreover, if Su Mu offended Lu Ming and ruined his future, Yang Xiaocui would really feel uneasy. After all, they were classmates, and Yang Xiaocui had a soft heart. She treated those she liked with all her heart. She really didn't want anything to happen to Su Mu.
"Su Mu, don't get involved in this. I have my own way to solve it," Yang Xiaocui said softly.
"You have a way? What way? Even if the Son of Heaven were here today, I would still shut down your Golden Splendor Entertainment City! What are you waiting for? Investigate! Turn this place upside down if you have to!" Niu Dezhu shouted loudly, his eyes glaring at Su Mu with a cold light.
"Kid, who do you think you are? Do you dare to act wild in front of me? Do you think I can't put you in jail right now? Heroic rescue isn't done this way!"
Bare-faced humiliation!
Where was the dignity of a civil servant?
Su Mu looked at Niu Dezhu coldly, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. "Is this how your Business Administration Bureau operates? So arrogant and lawless?"
"Kid, I don't need you to teach me how to do my job!" Niu Dezhu said proudly.
"Lu Ming, are you sure you want to continue this?" Su Mu ignored Niu Dezhu and turned to look at Lu Ming, who was standing aside, ready to watch the show. His eyes were indifferent.
That look made Lu Ming think of the scene where he was beaten up by Su Mu. The evil fire in his bones flared up.
"Su Mu, if you have the ability, show it. If not, get lost. I'm telling you straight, I called Captain Niu. You can't do anything about this today. Yang Xiaocui, you didn't agree to my conditions, right? Fine, even if you agree now, I won't. I want your place shut down!"
Lu Ming, who had always bullied others, no longer hid his true nature. He shouted loudly, like a ruffian. This was Lu Ming's true face. Manipulating others was secondary; what he enjoyed most was seeing the embarrassed expressions of those he had tricked.
"Lu Ming, you are despicable!" Yang Xiaocui shouted.
"Despicable? What's so despicable about this? Yang Xiaocui, this is just the first wave. Don't worry, more people will come. I promise I'll take good care of your place!"
"You!"
"Xiaocui, I said I'll handle this. Leave it to me!" Su Mu looked at Yang Xiaocui calmly. For some reason, when she heard this, she felt a sense of relief, as if Su Mu's words had a powerful magic.
"Will you get into trouble?" Yang Xiaocui asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, just a few clowns!" Su Mu said, then picked up the phone and dialed. Lu Ming watched, his eyes growing more disdainful.
"Su Mu, can you tell us which bureau you work for? Want to call for backup? Can you really call your bureau chief? Even if you do, it won't make us back down. I want to see how you plan to resolve this today!"
Rustle!
Just as the situation was at an impasse, chaos began in the Golden Splendor private room. The people who came with Niu Dezhu were his confidants, and they moved quickly. No matter who you were, they would drive you out. The reason was simple: the Business Administration Bureau was enforcing the law.
"Brother, why are you calling me now?" After Su Mu connected the call, a hearty laugh sounded in his ear.
"Want to have a drink with me? No problem, I'll go with Old Xu after I finish here and find you for a few drinks!"
"Brother Lin, drinking is fine, but I'm afraid I won't be able to come later." Su Mu said with a smile.
Lin Shuang was a smart person. As Zhao Rui'an's personal secretary, he had managed to stand firm in Xing Tang County's harsh environment. He didn't need to read people's expressions; he could guess from their voices. He knew that Su Mu was in a difficult situation.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuang's attitude became more serious. Su Mu was someone Zhao Rui'an had noticed, with a very strong background. If he didn't take the opportunity to build a good relationship now, it would be too late to seek help later.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"I'm at the Golden Splendor Entertainment City. I was attending a class reunion, but the Business Administration Bureau enforcement team targeted us. They say this place is operating illegally and are driving people out. Brother Lin, I can't say much, but this place is run by a classmate of mine, and I trust her character." Su Mu stopped there, knowing that Lin Shuang would understand what he meant.
Sure enough!
As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, Lin Shuang said, "Golden Splendor? Coincidentally, I'm going there for a dinner. Wait a moment, I'll call and ask. If they're there, I'll have them go directly. Don't worry, with him there, the Business Administration Bureau enforcement team won't touch you."
"Thanks, Brother Lin!" Su Mu smiled and hung up the phone.
Niu Dezhu watched Su Mu make the call, his annoyance growing. "What's this, Brother Lin? When did Xing Tang County have a Brother Lin? I don't know about it. Are you really trying to bluff us?"
"Right now, I suspect you have improper dealings with this place. You need to come back to the bureau with me," Niu Dezhu said loudly.
Pfft!
Su Mu was so angry that he laughed. "When did your Business Administration Bureau start doing the work of the police? Come back with you? Ha, I'll stand here, and you try to touch me!"
Niu Dezhu was shaken by Su Mu's气势, his brows furrowing. He turned to Lu Ming and said in a low voice, "Lu Ming, does this guy have any background? Are you sure?"
"Don't worry, Brother Niu, I wouldn't harm you! This guy is just a country boy who went to college and now works in some bureau in the county, thinking he's invincible. He and Yang Xiaocui are close, so he's just standing up for her. Just deal with him, and I'll take responsibility!" Lu Ming said confidently.
There was no way around it; Lu Ming knew too much about Su Mu's background, knowing he was just a farm boy from Su Village in Longjiang Town, with no real connections.
With Lu Ming's reassurance, Niu Dezhu's confidence grew. Drunk and confused, he made a decision that would haunt him for life.
"Move in, grab him, and take him back to the bureau!" Niu Dezhu shouted loudly.
"Who dares?"
Just as two people moved to grab Su Mu, two figures suddenly stepped forward. Luo Lin and Yang Xiaocui stood in front of Su Mu, protecting him, their eyes full of determination. The scene was like two mother hens protecting their chicks.
Speechless!
Su Mu really didn't expect these two to act this way, but after the initial shock, he felt a sense of gratitude. He hadn't wasted his efforts; these two were truly standing by him. On the other hand, none of the classmates who had been chatting enthusiastically earlier dared to step forward.
Clap, clap!
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Who would have thought our great talent Su Mu would be reduced to needing women to protect him? What a high level of dependence! What? Am I wrong? Su Mu, you're amazing, not only can you win over a pure girl like Luo Lin, but you can also make a married woman like Yang Xiaocui fall for you. I'm impressed, truly impressed! Brother Niu, don't just stand there, get to work!" Lu Ming said with a sinister smile.
"Damn it, anyone who disrupts law enforcement will be arrested!" Niu Dezhu said, stepping forward and pushing Luo Lin and Yang Xiaocui aside, then reaching out to grab Su Mu.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a frantic voice suddenly rang out from outside the private room, and a man stormed in, his face full of anger. Behind him were several Business Administration Bureau enforcement team members, but unlike before, they now hung their heads, their faces ashen, not daring to make a sound.
Bang!
But the man was too late. Niu Dezhu's hand had already grabbed Su Mu's collar, about to pull him over. However, unexpectedly, Niu Dezhu not only failed to grab Su Mu but was pushed back by a step, landing right in front of the man who had just entered, then falling to the ground.
Niu Dezhu lifted his head and saw the man's face, his expression turning to shock. He rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't mistaken, before quickly standing up.
"Director, why are you here in person?"
Indeed, the man who entered the private room was none other than Niu Dezhu's superior, the Director of the Xing Tang County Business Administration Bureau, Gao Zhenshan! He was there by coincidence. The person he was supposed to meet for dinner that night was Lin Shuang. Gao Zhenshan had become the director thanks to Zhao Rui'an's support. So that night, he had planned to invite Lin Shuang to build a relationship. But he didn't want too many people to know, so he chose the Golden Splendor.
Who would have thought that just as he was waiting for Lin Shuang, the private room door was forcefully opened, and the person who entered told him to get out without a word.
When the enforcement team members saw who it was, they were stunned, standing in fear and not daring to move.
In his anger, Gao Zhenshan forced the truth out of them. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with Niu Dezhu, his phone rang. After answering, Lin Shuang calmly relayed Su Mu's words. He said that if anything happened to Su Mu, his position as director would be over. Others might not know who Su Mu was, but Gao Zhenshan, as part of Zhao Rui'an's team, knew very well. He had heard about the hidden turmoil after the incident in Heishan Town.
Gao Zhenshan never imagined that while he was trying to curry favor with Lin Shuang, Niu Dezhu would do such a thing, clearly trying to ruin his career.
Whoever stands in my way, I will destroy their path!
Gao Zhenshan glared at Niu Dezhu with fury, saying, "Niu Dezhu, I'll deal with you later." Then he hurriedly stepped forward, and in front of everyone, he made a shocking move.
This move immediately made Niu Dezhu's heart turn to ashes. He glared at Lu Ming with anger, wishing he could eat him alive.
