Director Wang listened to Mu Jinyu's arrogant tone, his heart also pounding, and then squinted his eyes toward the bright phone screen that was close in front of him.
There was no choice, the screen was too bright, and with it so close to his eyes, he was nearly blinded and had to squint in order to see the content clearly.
After squinting at the screen a few times, Director Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, how does this guy have such information?
It turned out that the material Mu Jinyu showed Director Wang was evidence of him accepting bribes to approve a chemical plant that should not have been approved.
There was even a video showing them speaking in veiled terms after he had taken the bribe.
'How is it possible?! The room I was in that day had no surveillance cameras at all? How could there be this video? Could it be…'
Director Wang's mind exploded with chaos as he began to wildly speculate about what was going on.
How on earth did Mu Jinyu get his hands on this video?
"Smack! Smack!"
Two more crisp slaps sounded.
It was Mu Jinyu seeing Director Wang was a bit dumbfounded, putting away his phone, and helping him to sober up.
After slapping Director Wang several times and seeing that he had finally regained some sense, Mu Jinyu then loosened his grip and nodded to a Dragon King Hall member nearby. The member immediately stepped forward, took hold of Director Wang, subdued him, and pressed him against the office desk.
At this moment, Mu Jinyu sat leisurely in Director Wang's office chair, reclining against the soft back of the chair. Mu Jinyu crossed his legs and placed them on the office desk, with the tip of his shoe right next to Director Wang's nose.
Although Mu Jinyu did not have smelly feet, Director Wang still showed a look of disgust.
"Thud!"
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu lifted his leg and lightly kicked Director Wang's nose, instantly turning it from a garlic nose into a bulbous one.
"Uh..."
Director Wang grunted in pain, but now that he understood the situation, he didn't dare say anything to Mu Jinyu.
He could only swallow all the grievances and resentment that filled him.
Seeing his reaction, Mu Jinyu coldly said, "Why are you not talking now? Huh?! Have you finished looking at the material? Is this what you call following the rules and procedures?"
Director Wang didn't make a sound, trying to act tough, but he was very panicked inside.
After all, if the material and video in Mu Jinyu's hands were exposed, his position would definitely be gone, and he might even have his property confiscated!
And at his home, he really had stashed a large sum of cash!
What was he to do now?
Director Wang was very flustered inside, but he forcibly calmed himself down. Even if he had to open backdoors for Mu Jinyu, submit to him, and prevent him from spreading the material, he could not show too much fear, lest he be completely controlled by Mu Jinyu and truly become his lackey!
"What's all this noise about?"
At this moment, a man in his thirties, a middle-aged man, walked over from the corridor, peeking inside and asking with an unhappy tone.
"Chief Li, help!"
Director Wang saw the middle-aged man and immediately shouted loudly.
Sensing this, Mu Jinyu frowned and said, "Not the mute now, are we?"
He didn't even bother to look towards the doorway.
After speaking, he violently kicked Director Wang in the mouth.
"Ah!"
Immediately, several of Director Wang's teeth were knocked out, and his mouth was cut open, blood flowing freely, making for a very pitiful sight.
"What are you doing?! Ah!"
When Chief Li saw Mu Jinyu and his group daring to subdue Director Wang at his office desk, occupying his chair, and not even giving him a glance upon his arrival, let alone daring to assault Director Wang, he was furious and cried out in anger.
"What's going on? Trying to clear out the parasites?"
Mu Jinyu still couldn't be bothered to look at Chief Li and said languidly.
"Stop hitting... I'll process it... I'll approve it for you..."
This time, Director Wang was genuinely scared by Mu Jinyu and spoke through his pain in surrender.
"What? Are you trying to beat a confession out of someone?!"
Chief Li, listening to Director Wang's faint words and thinking he was refusing to do their business—that was why they had resorted to physical intimidation—felt a towering anger within him!
Then, he walked straight into the office, striding to the desk and attempting to push away the Dragon King Hall Members who were subduing Director Wang.
Of course, he couldn't move them.
The Dragon King Hall Members, without any instruction from Mu Jinyu, did not lay hands on Chief Li.
Seeing that he couldn't push them away, Chief Li took out his cell phone and dialed the security team leader.
But, the call didn't go through.
"What's going on?" Chief Li hung up and couldn't help but look at Mu Jinyu with anger in his eyes.
Mu Jinyu watched Chief Li looking so righteous and couldn't help but laugh inwardly, wondering if this guy was in cahoots with Director Wang, or if he was being kept in the dark.
He simply chuckled, "Don't bother calling. Those security guards have their legs broken by me. They should be on their way to the hospital now."
"You... you..." Chief Li pointed at Mu Jinyu, with eyes that radiated fear and anger, and said, "You're a law unto yourself! You're looking for death, you..."
With that, he was about to call the police.
Mu Jinyu didn't stop Chief Li. He tossed the cell phone that he had just shown Director Wang onto the desk in front of him, saying, "First, take a look at what this is."
Seeing this, Chief Li did not stop his call to the police, but he cautiously picked up the cell phone from the desk, his gaze alert as he looked at the screen.
After a few glances, his eyes widened, and he asked Mu Jinyu in a deep voice, "Is this... is this real or fake?"
"Hello..."
At that moment, an authoritative male voice came from his phone.
Chief Li quickly said, "Sorry, wrong number."
After saying that, he hung up the phone first.
Then, as Chief Li pocketed his cell phone, he thought about Mu Jinyu's confident demeanor from start to finish and the document in his hand, realizing that his identity was probably no ordinary one. The situation was not as simple as he had thought—this wasn't a thug committing violence.
Mu Jinyu saw him hang up and then said, "Of course, it's real. Let me introduce myself. I am the Chairman of Jinyu Group, Mu Jinyu."
As he spoke, he called out to Lin Qiaoxia standing by, "Qiaoxia, show Chief Li the document."
"Mhm," Lin Qiaoxia obediently replied and then passed the document she held to Chief Li.
"Jinyu Group?" Chief Li muttered to himself, then took the document from Lin Qiaoxia and his face inevitably turned dark.
Without a word from Mu Jinyu, he understood why Mu Jinyu had laid hands on Director Wang.
This bastard was digging his own grave!
He had withheld properly submitted application reports, but approved the unqualified ones. What was he trying to do?!
Under his own watch, he dared to play such deceitful games.
Director Wang, restrained by the Dragon King Hall Members and unable to move or speak, realized that his fate was sealed this time.
After reading the document, Chief Li handed it back to Lin Qiaoxia, then coldly glanced over at Director Wang and turned to Mu Jinyu, saying sternly, "I am aware of the situation. We truly wronged you, but you... shouldn't have been so harsh on Little Wang, right?"
"Given these extenuating circumstances, I'll let this slide. Please go back, and I will handle it!"
