"What now? Is my attitude not good enough?"
The security guard glanced at Mu Jinyu and sneered, "If it were Brother Tian on duty today, he'd probably have broken your legs by now!"
Although Mu Jinyu and his people seemed extraordinary and unlike ordinary folks, the security guards were not afraid; after all, they worked as security at Jinling Temples and Halls—who would dare to lay hands on them?
"Oh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu nodded lightly, his hands clasped behind his back as he shouted to a Dragon King Hall Member behind him, "Little Zheng, go ahead and break their legs for them."
"Yes."
Little Zheng responded respectfully.
Afterward, he walked towards the few security guards with an expressionless face.
Seeing this, the security guards's hearts skipped a beat and they cursed, "What? You want to hit us? You're rebelling, rebelling..."
In the midst of their speaking,
Little Zheng was already upon them, and with a wave of his hand, he struck at the knee of the leading one.
"Crack!"
That security guard couldn't react in time and had his leg cleanly broken by Little Zheng.
"Ah!!"
He let out a piercing scream, falling to the ground, clutching his crippled leg, and kept shouting hoarsely, "My leg is broken, my leg is broken!"
The other security guards, with a twitching of the eyelids, saw Little Zheng approaching them with an expressionless face and, refusing to be sitting ducks, pulled out their batons and swung them down on Little Zheng's head.
If that had hit, blood would surely have flowed.
However, Little Zheng just clenched his fist, threw a simple and unadorned punch at the swinging baton.
"Clang!"
With a sonorous sound, the baton was bent by Little Zheng's punch, then flew backward, striking the knee of the security guard who had thrown it.
"Ow!"
That security guard cried out in pain, then Little Zheng stepped forward quickly, a hand-chop slashing down on his knee, also breaking his leg.
In a few moments,
these security guards, who were arrogant and act as if they were above all, had their legs broken by Little Zheng.
After that, Little Zheng returned to Mu Jinyu's side without any expression or a word.
The security guards at the gate, who had not dared to help, now saw their fiercest team members quickly taken down by Mu Jinyu's subordinate like cutting melons and chopping vegetables, which made them swallow their saliva hard in disbelief.
They dared not approach any longer.
Mu Jinyu glanced back at them, didn't say anything, turned to look at Lin Qiaoxia, who was showing fear, and said, "What happened?!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiaoxia stammered, informing Mu Jinyu of the events that had just occurred.
After speaking, Lin Qiaoxia added, "Perhaps I misunderstood. Indeed, the procedures were not qualified, and we couldn't cut in line; let's just go back."
Mu Jinyu frowned slightly and said, "You just mentioned, this branch company wanted to set up a pharmaceutical factory in the suburbs, and it was rejected due to environmental pollution concerns, requiring further testing for a while, correct?"
"Yes," Lin Qiaoxia nodded, hesitating to speak further.
Mu Jinyu's eyes flickered and he said coldly, "Ridiculous. We are not some chemical plant; how could we pollute the environment? And there are others who applied later than us, have already been approved? Even those highly polluting chemical factories?"
The more Mu Jinyu spoke, the more furious he became. He was not someone who desired special privileges. If Director Wang truly had insisted on following the proper procedures and rules, even though he would have been upset at seeing Lin Qiaoxia being chased away, he would not have done anything.
But listening to Lin Qiaoxia's words, was Director Wang really someone who abided by the rules and followed proper procedures? Clearly, he was expecting a bribe; otherwise, he would continue to stall them.
"How much money did you give him for the gift just now?" Mu Jinyu asked.
With her face flushed, Lin Qiaoxia was somewhat embarrased as she said, "Fifty thousand, that's all the money I had..."
"Fifty thousand is not a small amount, yet you still think it's too little..."
"Hm?" Mu Jinyu said, and suddenly realizing something, raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Are you planning to pay out of your own pocket?"
"No, not exactly..." Lin Qiaoxia said timidly, "I didn't handle things well, but should I really use public funds to grease the wheels?"
"Haven't you also worked in the Public Relations Department? How can you still be so naive?" Mu Jinyu was speechless for a moment and continued, "This sort of thing is invariably done with public funds. Never mind, let's go find Director Wang."
Mu Jinyu didn't want to blame Lin Qiaoxia too harshly; she wasn't wrong, just a bit foolish.
"Oh." Lin Qiaoxia nodded her head in response, then quickly followed Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu walked ahead a few steps, then stopped suddenly, turned back to Lin Qiaoxia, and said, "You lead the way."
After a few steps, he realized he didn't know where Director Wang's office was, so he decided it would be better to let Lin Qiaoxia lead the way.
"Sure." Lin Qiaoxia responded and then walked over to Mu Jinyu's side to lead him to Director Wang's office.
"Knock knock."
Arriving at the door, Lin Qiaoxia even knocked a few times, intending to wait for Director Wang to invite her in before entering.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu pulled her aside without a word and kicked the door open with one foot.
"Plea..."
Inside the office, Director Wang had just begun to say "Come in," but when he saw his office door being kicked open, he was stunned into silence, swallowing back the rest of his words.
"Who are you?! Who let you in? Where's security?!"
After a moment of shock, Director Wang quickly became a mixture of shocked and angry, berating Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu didn't speak; Lin Qiaoxia timidly followed him inside.
Seeing Lin Qiaoxia, Director Wang's expression cleared in realization, and then he cursed with even more conviction, "So it's you, huh? What's the matter? Unable to bribe me, you decide to cause a ruckus instead? I'm not falling for that!"
"Security, security!!"
Director Wang began loudly calling for security.
After all, several members of the Dragon King Hall who had come in with Mu Jinyu were expressionless and imposing, exerting an enormous pressure.
"Stop shouting; they wanted to break one of my legs but ended up with their legs broken by me. They won't be able to come save you anytime soon," Mu Jinyu said calmly, with an even tone as he strolled past the desk to stand in front of Director Wang. He then stretched out his hand, grabbed Wang's collar, and delivered a slap across his chubby face!
"Smack!"
The sound of the slap was crisp and pleasing.
Mu Jinyu hadn't used much force, otherwise, Director Wang's whole pig-like head might have been smashed.
But even though he hadn't exerted much strength, Director Wang was still stunned by Mu Jinyu's slap.
Ten seconds later.
"You dare hit me, you're rebelling!"
Director Wang snapped out of his daze, breaking into a frantic yell and started to struggle.
"Smack! Smack!"
Mu Jinyu, with a cold expression, delivered several more slaps.
This time he used more force, causing Director Wang's head to buzz and his cheeks to burn with pain. And since security hadn't come to his rescue, he finally quieted down.
When the situation is stronger than the person, of course, one has to bow their head.
"What... what do you want to do?"
Director Wang asked pitifully, looking up at Mu Jinyu who was holding his collar, his tone weak.
Mu Jinyu didn't speak, turned around to take the cellphone that a Dragon King Hall member was holding out to him, then directly placed it in front of Director Wang's eyes and asked, "Didn't you say everything should follow rules and procedures? Then what's this all about, huh?!"
