Chapter 549: The Ungrateful Wolves?!

Lou Duan leaned deep into the sofa, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the slightly frayed velvet on the armrest.

Feng Mu and Hong Ya sat side by side opposite him, three cups of clear tea steaming on the chazhuo.

Such a scene, just like yesterday, just like that day.

The tea was brewed by Lou Duan himself, several unfurled tea leaves resting at the bottom of the qingci cup; beside the cup lay a bag of breakfast still steaming, oil stains spreading faintly on the paper bag.

Feng Mu had specially bought steaming buns mixed with the sweet fragrance of soy milk from the shop downstairs when he came.

Not arriving empty-handed was Feng Mu's rule of conduct; serving tea to guests was Lou Duan's dignity. The two faced each other across the tea mist, both polite people.

After a long time, Lou Duan finally could not help but say:

"Li Hanyu asked you to deliver a slip of paper. What does it mean?"

His tone was flat, but his gaze did not fall on the shoubiao, as if it were merely an unimportant piece of waste paper.

Feng Mu did not expose Lou Duan's pretense, only took out another U Disk from his pocket and gently placed it on the chazhuo:

"I don't know either. Madam only said, Station Chief Lou will understand naturally after seeing the slip; if he doesn't understand..."

He tapped the U Disk with his fingertip and added with a sigh:

"Then please take another look at what's inside here."

Lou Duan's eyes flashed coldly, he snatched up the U Disk and strode toward the study.

The cold light of the screen reflected on his face; as the wenzijian were opened, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The videos and photos were incomplete, only a part, but the content displayed within was already enough to make Lou Duan's heart sink to the bottom of a valley.

"The website's assassins were caught on camera while killing someone. Damn it, those two idiots were followed and secretly filmed when they came to my house?!"

Lou Duan felt rage rising, he punched the screen, the monitor exploded with a cracking sound, shards flying everywhere.

Pong——

The outer room door was almost kicked open in the same second, two burly men burst in, shouting sternly:

"Station Chief Lou?!"

Hong Ya leapt down from the sofa, her petite body shielding Feng Mu, her two horn braids standing on end without wind, a fierce killing intent suddenly bursting from her whole body.

Feng Mu remained seated on the sofa, calm and composed, as if the commotion had nothing to do with him.

Lou Duan walked out of the study, his gaze gloomily sweeping over Feng Mu; the killing intent surging in those eyes almost solidified, and even the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.

If Feng Mu had come representing himself, even if the other party held those videos and photos, Lou Duan would have already ordered the two killed.

A small character like Feng Mu was not worthy of threatening him.

But he came representing Li Hanyu, and behind Li Hanyu stood Councilor Wang Xinfā, so handling this had to be done with extreme caution.

The same "evidence" in different hands, weighed on a scale, could differ enormously in weight.

In the hands of ants it was no more than a sheet of thin paper; in the hands of the powerful it could become a hammer of a thousand jin.

Feng Mu naturally understood this principle; otherwise, he would have defected long ago, why bother going to such lengths to be a dog for Li Hanyu.

"Get out!"

Lou Duan roared fiercely, and the two burly men trembled all over.

The two men's fists were bigger than Lou Duan's face, but after being shouted at, they were like dogs with their spines pulled out, lowering their heads and quickly retreating from the room.

Fist is power, power is fist!

Either fist overturns power, or power crushes fist; since ancient times it has been no other way. But most of the time, in this modern jungle built of steel bars and cement, the two-legged beasts clad in civilized outer garments follow the latter order.

After the two left, Lou Duan closed the door and slowly paced back to the sofa.

Feng Mu gently patted Junior Sister's shoulder; Junior Sister's tense back finally relaxed, and her two horn braids hung down like sheathed sharp blades.

But her almond eyes still flashed with cold light, her gaze as if coated with poison, moving back and forth across Lou Duan's throat, chest, and between his eyebrows.

Hong Ya's fists were not as huge as those two burly men's, but within her petite body lay the skeleton of a giant lying dormant.

Feeling Hong Ya's unbridled scrutiny and Feng Mu's calm composure, Lou Duan's expression changed slightly, and he cursed silently in his heart:

"Ignorant of rank, unafraid of power—Li Hanyu found such wolf cubs to work for her; isn't she afraid that one day they might bite back?"

【41】 "Ignorant of rank, unafraid of power—Li Hanyu found such wolf cubs to work for her; isn't she afraid that one day they might bite back?"

The two before him were small figures, but they were wolves, and wolves cannot be fed to fullness.

But on second thought, anyway they were not his own dogs; even if they bit their master, it wouldn't hurt him in the slightest... right.

He withdrew three parts of contempt from his gaze toward Feng Mu and explained in a deep voice:

"Go back and tell Li Hanyu that his son being blown up has nothing to do with me."

Feng Mu nodded, very obedient: "Alright, Station Chief Lou, I will convey your words verbatim to Madam Li."

Lou Duan gave a cold snort and added:

"Tell Li Hanyu that with just that bit of evidence in the U Disk, he can't topple me."

Feng Mu readily agreed: "Alright, Station Chief Lou."

Lou Duan's voice grew even colder:

"Also tell her, I, Lou Duan, hate being threatened most in this life; I don't eat this set!"

Feng Mu: "Alright!"

Lou Duan could no longer hold back, laughing in extreme anger:

"Damn it, do you only know how to say 'alright'? Didn't Li Hanyu teach you any other words?"

Hong Ya raised her eyebrows, her horn braids restless.

Damn it was a kind of spiritual attack; in Hong Ya's little notebook, Lou Duan's name had been heavily circled three times with a vermilion brush.

Feng Mu's expression unchanged, habitually adjusting his glasses, he said faintly:

"Madam's words are all on the slip; I have already conveyed them all to you."

Lou Duan's face was gloomy; he glanced at the slip—the front was his handwriting, the back was another person's handwriting, likewise a string of addresses.

I gave two Zone Chiefs an address, and they both died there.

Then Li Hanyu followed the same method and gave me an address too—what was she trying to convey?

The teacup trembled slightly in his hand, the warm tea reflecting his changeable face.

He finally lowered his head and took a sip, as if to extinguish the chill rising in his heart, then set the teacup back on the chazhuo.

Feng Mu tactfully stood up and left; Hong Ya hopped off the sofa and followed behind Feng Mu, and as she left she did not forget to glance once more at Lou Duan's Throat, her two little tiger teeth flashing with a forest-white light under the lamp.

After the two left, Lou Duan picked up the slip of paper on the table again and crushed it into powder with his Five Fingers.

His Nao Hai spun rapidly; having made his decision, he let out a Cold Snort.

"Come in." The words had barely fallen when the burly man guarding Men Wai pushed the door open and entered.

"Are those two gone?"

"They just got off the Elevator," the burly man replied in a muffled voice.

Lou Duan's Mouth Corner curved into a sinister arc:

"Secretly follow them, find out their backgrounds, and I want to know which relatives or people they care about these two have."

Lou Duan would never be at Li Hanyu's mercy, but it was not easy to move against Li Hanyu directly, so he prepared to approach this matter with a different line of thinking.

Wolves indeed cannot be tamed and have no loyalty at all, but wolves also have soft ribs; as long as you find that vital point and add suitable bait.

A low chuckle escaped Lou Duan's Throat; the burly man's scalp went numb, and he departed with a face full of loyalty and awe, having received his orders.
