Chapter 222: Abnormal Behavior, Check His Identity!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Anyone who dared to offend the Mu family must be killed, regardless of his identity!”

“Yes, Mr. Mu. Let's move out at once. I'll take the lead and teach those who offend our Mu family a good lesson!”

One of the clan members of the Mu family spoke up indignantly. Mu Wenlong nodded and immediately assembled a group of people. Then he led a big group of the Mu family's powerful experts to go out and restore their dignity.

However, just then, Mu Wenlong received a phone call. His body shook violently at once, and a look of astonishment crept over his eyes.

At the police station,

the police inspector in charge of this area was Zhou Xuan. He strode into the police station haughtily, and then he grabbed a folder and slammed it down on the desk. He said, huffing and puffing, “Who the heck took the liberty of detaining these people? Summon the station chief here at once.”

For a long while, no one answered. Zhou Xuan's face darkened, and his expression turned unpleasant. He began to wonder whether these subordinates

in his jurisdiction were trying to rebel.

Wei stuck his neck out and said, “Inspector Zhou, those people from the Mu family are too unreasonable. The moment they showed up, they beat up the station chief. He is lying in the hospital now.”

“And so you guys took action?” Zhou Xuan, who was already angry, became even more incensed. He grabbed the folder and began hitting Wei's head.

Of all the people to offend, these stupid guys had to offend the Mu family. He had toiled for so many years and finally climbed to the position of an inspector with much difficulty. He did not want to lose his rice bowl because of taking the blame for this incident.

“Go! Hurry up and release these people!” Zhou Xuan bellowed.

“I was the one who ordered these people to be locked up. I want to see who dares to release them.” Lu Yu's voice floated out.

The whole group of police officers in the police station remained in the same spot after hearing Lu Yu's order. Zhou Xuan noticed this and his eyes turned icy cold. He narrowed his eyes and sized Lu Yu up, trying to guess who was this guy acting like some big shot.

“May I ask who you are?” Zhou Xuan asked in a low voice.

“Just someone who fights for justice.” Lu Yu laughed lightly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

This guy Zhou Xuan didn't dare to let out a single squeak when the Mu family was causing trouble. Yet when the Mu family's clansmen were locked up, he came rushing out to demand their release.

For this kind of character who held the position but did not carry out his duties diligently, Lu Yu felt nothing but contempt for him.

“You are just a civilian. How dare you interfere with the police department! I think you are tired of living. Men, tie him up…”

His voice stopped abruptly. Lu Yu gave Zhou Xuan a slap straightaway, sending this guy sprawling to the ground. After he got up, Zhou Xuan, feeling thoroughly humiliated, was just about retaliate when he was jolted with terror by Lu Yu's superior aura.

And at this moment, Mu Wenlong arrived at the police station, bringing with him a group of clansmen from the Mu family.

Seeing that a Great Grand Master from the Mu family had come in person, Zhou Xuan shivered in fear. He then glared fiercely at Lu Yu, “Let's see how you are going to clean up this mess.”

And then, he trotted all the way over with a smiling face, beaming so widely that his eyes turned into slits. He bowed and lowered his head, saying, “So the Great Grand Master of the Mu family is here for a visit. We are sorry for everything that happened earlier. It was a misunderstanding. ”

“I have given them a stern reprimand and will release your people immediately.”

For this kind of insignificant character, Mu Wenlong couldn't even be bothered to give him a glance. He walked directly towards Lu Yu. Those sinister aged eyes kept sweeping over Lu Yu's body.

And Lu Yu was looking at Mu Wenlong icily. All at once, the atmosphere became very tense. Both parties seemed to have their daggers drawn, fully prepared to duke it out the moment there was any verbal disagreement.

Zhou Xuan stood aside, still chattering non-stop. He had absolved himself completely from the whole matter. He kept casting an icy glance at Lu Yu every now and then, with an arrogant look that implied he had nothing to do with this incident.

“You are Inspector Zhou, right? I have understood everything.” Mu Wenlong appeared a little impatient. Seeing this, Zhou Xuan very sensibly shut his mouth.

However, the next scene made Zhou Xuan's jaw drop to the ground. All the police officers in the police station had a downright incredulous look. They wondered whether they were dreaming. Even Lu Yu also caught off guard.

“Hahaha… I've already understood what happened earlier. It is our Mu family's clan members who were bullying others. It is my negligence for failing to instill good discipline. What they suffered is exactly what they deserved. They should be severely punished according to the federal law.”

Huh? Lu Yu was a little confused. He was about to engage in a big fight, but now, he retracted the aura that was about to surge out from his body.

And by the side, Zhou Xuan stood with his mouth agape. He could practically swallow an egg whole right now. The shock he felt in his heart was beyond words.

When did the Mu family, which wielded unparalleled power in the capital, speak to people so politely? This shouldn't be, and couldn't be happening!

Could it be… that this ordinary teenager in front of him came from an extraordinary origin to make the Mu family so apprehensive?

At the thought of this, Zhou Xuan was so scared that his face turned ashen white. He had spoken to Lu Yu very rudely earlier. If Lu Yu decided to pursue this matter, then he would not be able to bear the consequences.

“Since you are so understanding, then I will not say anything anymore. Everything will be dealt with according to the federal law with the maximum penalty. Inspector Zhou, what do you say?” Lu Yu said with an ambiguous expression

“Huh? Of course. Of course.” Zhou Xuan nodded his head like a chick pecking rice.

The members of the Mu family who followed stared in utter disbelief. Weren't they here to seek accountability for offending the Mu family? How come they had given in suddenly?

All the members of the Mu family felt indignant inwardly, but in front of Mu Wenlong, they didn't dare to say anything. Finally, after some boring small talk, Mu Wenlong took his leave.

In the waiting room, the middle-aged woman who saw this scene, was staring so hard in disbelief that her eyes were like saucers. She couldn't believe what was happening. The Mu family's chargé d'affaires had actually conceded in front of Lu Yu. Could this guy Lu Yu be some big shot with an astronomically extraordinary background?

When she thought of this, the middle-aged woman actually fainted straightaway from fright.

“Hehe! Sir, may I ask how do I address you?” Zhou Xuan changed his previous attitude and spoke with a hint of flattery.

Lu Yu showed his identity badge and said, “I have to trouble Inspector Zhou. Extend the timeline to an earlier period and probe deeper. Check where the deceased had gone before her death, and who she had contact with.”

Zhou Xuan felt very flattered. Lu Yu not only did not pursue accountability from him, but he also entrusted Zhou Xuan with a task. None of this escaped the eyes of the people present.

It was akin to an adult trampling to death an infinitesimally tiny ant, or, showing off his prowess in front of an ant. How bored must that person be to do such meaningless things?

As long as this ant did not seek its own demise by getting in his way, Lu Yu simply could not be bothered with this kind of thing.

On the other hand, Mu Wenlong led the people from the Mu family back to the Mu family's residence, thinking about the phone call he received not long ago.

His frown increasingly deepened. “What exactly is the background of that guy?

It was that phone call that made him choose to settle matters amicably at this point. Not long after, Mu Wenlong deployed the Mu family's intelligence organization to investigate Lu Yu's identity. “Investigate thoroughly. Dig out every detail about this guy for me..”
