Era of Magic and Martial Arts

Chapter 564 - 548: The Wolf That Can’t Be Tamed?!!

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

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

This scene was just like yesterday, just like that day.

The tea was brewed by Lou Duan himself, a few pieces of tea leaves spread out at the bottom of the blue porcelain cups; beside the teacups, the bag of breakfast was still steaming, with grease soaking into the paper bag, leaving faint marks.

Feng Mu had deliberately bought it from a shop downstairs on his way over, the hot buns mixed with the sweet aroma of soy milk.

Never visiting empty-handed was Feng Mu’s principle, and serving tea to guests was Lou Duan’s courtesy. The two of them looked at each other through the tea mist, both polite people.

After a while, Lou Duan finally couldn’t help but ask:

"What does Li Hanyu mean by asking you to deliver a note?"

His tone was calm, but his gaze did not fall on the note, as if it were just an insignificant piece of waste paper.

Feng Mu didn’t expose Lou Duan’s pretense, just took a USB drive from his pocket and placed it gently on the coffee table:

"I don’t know either. Madam only said that Station Chief Lou would naturally understand after seeing the note, but if not..."

He tapped the USB drive with his fingertip and added with a sigh:

"Then please take a look at the things in here."

Lou Duan’s eyes flashed sharply, snatching up the USB drive and striding towards the study.

The cold light from the screen illuminated his face, and as the files opened, his pupils suddenly constricted.

The videos and photos were incomplete, only partial, but the content they displayed was enough to make Lou Duan’s heart sink to the bottom.

"Those sent by the website to kill were caught on camera, damn it, were those two fools tracked and photographed when they came to my house?!!"

Lou Duan’s heart caught fire, and he punched the screen, which shattered with a cracking sound, pieces flying everywhere.

Pong——

The door to the room outside was almost kicked open at the same instant, and two burly men burst in, shouting:

"Station Chief Lou?!"

Hong Ya jumped off the sofa, her diminutive figure blocking Feng Mu, her two pigtails standing upright without wind, a fierce killing intent erupting from her body.

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

Lou Duan came out of the study, his eyes scanning Feng Mu with a sinister gaze, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible, even lowering the temperature in the room by a few degrees.

If Feng Mu had come on his own behalf, even if the other party had those videos and photos, Lou Duan would have already ordered the two to be killed.

Someone of Feng Mu’s small stature was simply unworthy of threatening him.

But he was here on behalf of Li Hanyu, and behind Li Hanyu stood Member of Parliament Wang Xinfa, which required utmost caution in handling.

The same "evidence" in different people’s hands weighed drastically differently on the scales.

In the hands of an ant, it’s merely a piece of paper, but in the grasp of the powerful, it can become a thousand-pound hammer.

Feng Mu naturally understood this as well, otherwise, he would have switched allegiances long ago and wouldn’t go to such great lengths to serve as Li Hanyu’s lackey.

"Get out!"

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

Their fists were bigger than Lou Duan’s face, but after being yelled at, they bowed their heads like dogs with their spines removed and quickly exited the room.

Fist is power, and power is also fist!

If it’s not the fist overturning power, then it’s power subduing the fist. It’s been like this since ancient times, but most of the time, in this modern jungle of concrete and steel, the two-legged creatures wrapped in civilization’s trappings follow the latter order.

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

Feng Mu gently patted his junior sister on the shoulder, and only then did her tense back relax, her two pigtails drooping like sheathed blades.

But her almond-shaped eyes still flashed with a cold light, her gaze flicked like poison over Lou Duan’s throat, chest, and forehead.

Hong Ya’s fists may not be as big as the two burly men’s, but inside her petite body lay dormant the skeleton of a giant.

Lou Duan felt Hong Ya’s unabashed scrutiny and Feng Mu’s calm indifference, his face changing slightly, cursing inwardly:

"Ignorant of ranks, unafraid of power. Isn’t Li Hanyu afraid of being bitten back one day by recruiting such wolves to work for her?"

These two may be minor characters, but they are wolves, and wolves cannot be tamed.

Yet on second thought, since they aren’t his dogs, even if they turn on their master, it won’t harm him a bit... will it?

He looked at Feng Mu, retracting a bit of disdain from his eyes, and explained in a deep voice:

"Go back and tell Li Hanyu that her son’s bombing has nothing to do with me."

Feng Mu nodded, obediently: "Alright, Station Chief Lou, I will relay your words verbatim to Madam Li."

Lou Duan snorted coldly and added:

"Tell Li Hanyu that with just that bit of evidence in the USB drive, she can’t bring me down."

Feng Mu complied smoothly: "Understood, Station Chief Lou."

Lou Duan’s voice grew even colder:

"And tell her, the thing I hate most in my life is being threatened, I won’t stand for it!"

Feng Mu: "Got it!"

Lou Duan couldn’t hold it in anymore, and laughed in anger:

"Damn, is ’got it’ all you can say? Hasn’t Li Hanyu taught you any other words?"

Hong Ya arched an eyebrow, her pigtails twitching eagerly.

Grass was a kind of spiritual attack, and in Hong Ya’s little notebook, Lou Duan’s name had been circled heavily in red pen three times.

Feng Mu’s expression remained unchanged, habitually adjusting his glasses, he said quietly:

"Madam’s words are all in the note, I’ve conveyed everything to you."

Lou Duan’s face darkened, he glanced at the note, one side had his handwriting, the reverse had another person’s scribble, also a series of addresses.

I gave two prison chiefs an address, and they both died there.

Now, Li Hanyu is giving me an address in the same manner, what is she trying to convey?

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

After finally sipping a mouthful, as if to extinguish the chill rising in his heart, he placed the teacup back on the coffee table.

Feng Mu sensibly stood up to leave, Hong Ya bounced off the sofa, following behind him, not forgetting to cast another glance at Lou Duan’s throat as she left, her little sharp fangs gleaming white in the light.

Once the two left, Lou Duan picked up the note on the table again, crushing it to powder with his five fingers.

His mind whirled rapidly, making a decision, then scoffing coldly.

"Come in." Before the words fell, the brawny men stationed outside pushed the door open and entered.

"Have the two left?"

"Just stepped into the elevator," the brawny man replied in a muffled voice.

Lou Duan’s lips curled into a cold smile:

"Follow them secretly and find out their backgrounds, I want to know who their relatives or people they care about are."

Lou Duan would never be subjected to Li Hanyu, but he couldn’t easily attack Li Hanyu directly, so he planned to take a different approach.

Indeed, wolves can’t be tamed; they have no sense of loyalty. But wolves also have weaknesses, and once you find that vital spot, coupled with the right bait...

Lou Duan let out a low chuckle from his throat, the brawny man shivering, his face full of loyalty and awe as he took the command and left.
