In full view of everyone, right in front of over twenty board directors, his son was forcibly taken away by the action department. Han Shilong's face turned ashen!
He understood that his son's future could be irrevocably affected.
But he wasn't stupid. If his son hadn't really committed a crime and the evidence wasn't irrefutable, that female action officer wouldn't be so brazen as to arrest someone right in front of him!
However, business and personal matters are separate. Even the head of the action department in Lian City shows him some respect, yet this fearless female action officer dares to trample on his dignity!
"Today's meeting ends here for now; we'll revisit the agenda later. Meeting adjourned!" Han Shilong said coldly, slamming the table.
The board members dispersed one after another; as they left, they whispered among themselves about Han Lengxuan's situation, causing Han Shilong to close his eyes in helplessness.
What good was it that he had built such a large family business, if his son couldn't successfully inherit it, wouldn't it ultimately benefit outsiders?
He took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the clean floor-to-ceiling glass window, took out his phone, and called Mu Jianmin directly to demand an explanation!
...
At this moment, Mu Jianmin was sitting alone in his office, browsing the computer screen.
Inserted in his computer was the USB drive given by Captain Jiang, and the footage playing showed how Jiang Feng caught bullets bare-handed and overwhelmingly crushed the skilled Luo Jihan like an invincible force.
He even saw the shocking scene of how Luo Jihan, unable to fight to the death, was driven to bite his tongue and commit suicide!
This was far more shocking than Chu Renxiong merely hearing of Jiang Feng's bullet-catching ability; everything was recorded, and Jiang Feng looked like Superman!
At this moment, waves of shock surged in Mu Jianmin's heart. He felt deeply fortunate for his choices—since he assumed his position, he hadn't offended Jiang Feng; instead, he had shown him adequate respect from the start. Otherwise, he might have followed in his predecessor Wang Meng's footsteps, or worse, have been implicated and ruined by his own unworthy son!
While he was feeling thankful, his phone suddenly rang. When he picked it up, he saw it was Han Shilong calling.
Why would he be calling?
Mu Jianmin didn't usually have much interaction with Han Shilong and frowned before answering.
"Mr. Mu, my son was just taken away by your people. I need an explanation from you." Han Shilong said bluntly, without any courtesy.
"Oh?" Mu Jianmin was slightly surprised: "Who took him?"
After Situ Yan returned, she was eager to arrest Han Lengxuan, fearing he would flee upon getting wind of it; she hadn't had a chance to give Mu Jianmin a detailed report, so he was unaware.
"That female action officer under your command, Situ Yan!"
"Oh."
This time, although Mu Jianmin also said "Oh," the tone was markedly different. Because Situ Yan's arrest of Han Lengxuan likely related to the southern venture, which involved Jiang Feng; the situation was deep, and even he didn't fully understand the case, so he couldn't take a stance.
"President Han, I can't provide an explanation. My subordinates have their reasons for arresting your son, and as no one has reported to me yet, I cannot intervene," Mu Jianmin said in an official tone.
Hearing this, Han Shilong was both surprised and angry, realizing that Mu Jianmin was going to leave him to fend for himself!
"Mr. Mu, regardless of our always good relations, my son and your son Mu Yuze have always been very good friends, even calling each other sworn brothers. As an elder, shouldn't you at least show some concern about Lengxuan's situation?" Han Shilong played the emotional card.
"President Han, you're talking about personal matters, and we're discussing official business. I know Yuze and Lengxuan are good friends, but even if it's Yuze, should he do anything illegal, I wouldn't shield him either. People in their positions must mind their responsibilities; President Han, you should understand this," Mu Jianmin remained indifferent.
"Ha, I see. Mr. Mu insists on keeping personal feelings entirely out of business. I admire how you separate life and work so clearly; no wonder you've advanced quickly," Han Shilong sneered.
"President Han, instead of calling me, perhaps you should find out what your son did. Anyone who does something they shouldn't must bear the consequences, don't you think?" Mu Jianmin retorted.
"I'll remember what you've said, Mr. Mu. That's that, I'll hang up." Realizing Mu Jianmin wouldn't help, Han Shilong didn't waste time, coldly hanging up the phone.
Now, he wasn't afraid of offending Mu Jianmin anymore; his anger had clouded his reason completely.
Yet Mu Jianmin's words reminded him—he still didn't know the specifics of what had transpired.
So, he made a few calls, used his connections, starting from the incident in Fengming to gather information, and finally learned that Jiang Feng and Situ Yan had gone to Su City, found Chen Peng—whom Situ Yan called a witness—and discovered the whole story.
Then, Situ Yan returned to Binhai and took his son away.
"No matter if it was my son who did it, this Jiang Feng is indeed after my Han Family, always him! And that female action officer, without Jiang's backing, she wouldn't be so arrogant!" Han Shilong thought through gritted teeth.
Finally, he called his brother Han Shiliang, angrily questioning: "Second brother, didn't you say you had a flawless plan to deal with Jiang Feng and the Chu Family, why haven't you made a move yet?"
"Elder brother, don't worry, North City's Mr. Scar and I have planned everything. It's just that the timing isn't right yet; can you wait a little longer?" Han Shiliang understood why his elder brother was so angry. In fact, the moment Han Lengxuan was taken away, the news had reached his ears.
But he couldn't help it; it was an unforeseen part of the plan. No one imagined Han Lengxuan would act on his own before their move!
Mr. Scar had just called him, berating Han Lengxuan for his impatience, nearly alerting their enemies.
"Wait, wait, wait, how long must we wait? Lengxuan has already been taken away!" Han Shiliang raged.
"I know, I didn't expect this either. Xiao Xuan acted too rashly on impulse, unreconciled, and acted without consulting me. But we've plotted for so long, we need to wait for the right opportunity to strike; otherwise, we'll lose our footing. We aim to change South City overnight with our move!" Han Shiliang tried to reason.
"Got it!" Han Shiliang, now impatient, hung up the phone. He didn't even know what his second brother and Mr. Scar were plotting, but he only had one thought left—to see Jiang Feng disappear as soon as possible, so he could no longer be a thorn in his side!
