In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 222 Arrest of Li Mufeng

For the next three days, Lu Zhao made no move and continued to cooperate with the recording of the program as usual.

Since the Director of the Dali Division is currently only detained and no case has been officially filed, he needs to link Li Mufeng's case with the Director of the Dali Division's case and turn the gun on the beauty salon.

It's impossible for him to push forward the investigation into the black market supplements on his own. His biggest reliance is likely that Liu Wuhou has reached a tacit agreement with the pharmaceutical companies, unwilling to push forward the investigation, only hoping to strike at the Chen faction.

Therefore, Lu Zhao would have to rely on external forces, specifically the special task force from the capital, to shake up the entire officialdom of Cangwu.

Just like in Fangshi back then, by using the special investigation team to expose the entire leadership of the city, we can provide guidance to the greatest extent possible within our capabilities.

Li Mufeng and the Director of the Dali Division were just bait.

April 13th.

Nanling District, Cadre Prison Area.

In detention cell number 015, Lü Da, with his full head of white hair, finally broke down in the face of the evidence the special task force kept pulling out.

"I confess, I confess everything, I'll tell the organization everything, waaaaaah..."
-
At the entrance of the camp.

Every now and then, a few paparazzi with cameras would be staking out the area.

The special agents on guard duty had noticed it long ago, but had not done anything about it.

Because the Lu Detachment said that in order not to damage the image of the special counter-terrorism unit, it didn't matter as long as these paparazzi didn't enter the camp.

As for the issue of espionage, it no longer exists in the international community.

Many military units simply prohibit entry and exit; they are not heavily guarded. The superhumans themselves are the Federation's most formidable weapon.

Military affairs in the new era are no longer about people versus people or nations versus nations, but more about confrontation with the ancient pantheon.

This confrontation is a protracted war, and the Federation is striving to normalize the state of war.

The 9th Detachment is not a sensitive unit and there is nothing that is inconvenient to show to the outside world. It is stationed in the Nantie District and goes out to patrol every day.

That's why it was chosen as the filming location for the program.

In places like Shintsuin, entry and filming around the area are not permitted.

A luxury car from the Tiangong series drove out of the camp.

The paparazzi around immediately raised their cameras and started taking pictures, while some people followed in vehicles.

Everyone knows that this is Li Mufeng's vehicle; his license plate is no secret.

Inside the car, Li Mufeng leaned against the window and said to his agent, "Why is Lu Zhao still here? Didn't I tell you to replace him?"

The agent, who was driving, felt a pang of anxiety, forcing a helpless smile: "Boss, I've communicated with them repeatedly. The production team has assured us that the post-production editing will minimize his screen time..."

Li Mufeng is a celebrity and also the boss of the company.

Most top celebrities in the entertainment industry own their own companies and are engaging in capitalization. Li Mufeng comes from a very wealthy family and didn't have to work his way up; he established a company as soon as he entered the entertainment industry.

And with the help of her family's connections and her appearance created through plastic surgery, she became a household name and a popular star in just a few years.

"Just because someone wears an official's coat doesn't mean they're someone important. I find them an eyesore."

Li Mufeng was very unhappy with Lu Zhao and said, "Don't let him appear in front of me again."

The agent said with a bitter face, "Boss, he's a squad leader. We're using his space, how can we expect him not to show up?"

"Moreover, the filming of the program was arranged by the special operations forces, and we are afraid of angering the relevant leaders."

Reducing Lu Zhao's screen time in a specific program is acceptable, but eliminating him entirely is unacceptable; this would be a major mistake.

"My father-in-law is Marquis Chen Wu, why would I be afraid of a mere squad leader like him?"

Li Mufeng said decisively, "You tell the production team that Lu Zhao cannot appear in this episode, or they're all fired!"

"……Yes."

The agent responded.

Having been the other party's agent for three years, he naturally knew that this big star was a very jealous person.

He may not remember those who flatter him, but he will surely incur resentment from those who disregard him.

Besides, that squad leader was indeed outstanding in appearance.

What Li Mufeng finds most intolerable is men who are better looking than him.

This kind of thing has happened before; many male actors who are better looking than Li Mufeng have been suppressed by him.

It may also be related to Li Mufeng's anxiety about his appearance. He is now thirty-two years old and has long since passed his peak.

Even with advanced life-sustaining supplements, the effects are ultimately limited. In particular, Li Mufeng himself cannot endure the hardships of life development, his life level is not high, and his absorption rate of supplements is very low.

This is not just Li Mufeng's personal practice; many young celebrities will deliberately make their makeup look worse when they share the stage with veteran actors in order to avoid overshadowing their seniors.

The vehicle drove back to Chen Family Manor.

The paparazzi were immediately stopped by the security guards, and Li Mufeng, who was inside the car, was extremely pleased to see this.

He wasn't bothered by paparazzi following him; he simply enjoyed the taste of power.

Upon entering the manor, the butler greeted them, saying, "Young master, Miss said she won't be coming back to stay today."

Chen Wuhou doted on Chen Qian, but he did not allow her to bring men home, and she did not come home to stay every day.

If they don't go home, where will they live? That's a question that can't be explored.

"I see."

Li Mufeng asked, "Is Dad home?"

The butler replied, "Master won't be back tonight either."

dinner.

Li Mufeng was dining alone in the large restaurant, with a butler and a servant standing beside him.

He didn't feel lonely, but it was a pity that he couldn't continue to cultivate a relationship with Chen Yunming.

Suddenly, the butler's phone vibrated slightly. He quickly left the restaurant and returned a short while later with a drunken woman. Chen Qian reeked of alcohol, her clothes were disheveled, and there were very obvious hickeys on her neck, it was unclear who had left them.

She threw herself on Li Mufeng and vomited, a foul, fishy smell spreading out.

"Mu Feng... Mu Feng... Let's go have a drink."

“You can’t drink anymore, I’ll take you to change your clothes.”

Li Mufeng wore a gentle smile, showing no displeasure whatsoever.

Afterwards, they took Miss Chen to change her clothes, gave her some hangover medicine, and put her to bed. She didn't need any help from the servants at all, and the care was meticulous.

He was jealous, but not stupid.

Li Mufeng was very clear about his position; as long as he pleased Chen Qian, everything would be fine.

Conversely, if he angered Chen Qian, it would be a matter of going from heaven to hell in an instant. Chen Wuhou did not treat him as a true son-in-law; it was entirely out of consideration for Chen Qian's preferences.

Perhaps after a few more years, once feelings have developed, he might have some objections.

The butler stood at the door, monitoring everything.

If Li Mufeng treats Chen Qian badly, then Chen Wuhou will find out immediately.

The family of Zhuge Liang is not one that is easy to climb into; a son-in-law should act like one.

If Li Mufeng had achieved second-tier life development, made outstanding contributions, and served as the chief official of the Federation at a young age, the situation would be entirely different.

Perhaps Marquis Chen Wu wouldn't mind having a son-in-law to discipline his willful daughter.

But Li Mufeng is just a celebrity, unable to hold an official position, and an ordinary person with extremely low life development.

The steward had heard Chen Wuhou sigh more than once in private. As the steward, he knew a lot and could read his master's mind.

I can probably understand that Lu Zhao, who has been suppressed by the young lady for many years, is the best candidate in the master's heart.

He has merits, abilities, and talent, and can inherit his political assets as a military commander, rather than being a celebrity who cannot hold office.

The next morning, Miss Chen woke up. She remembered what had happened the night before and was very satisfied with Li Mufeng's performance.

If it were Lu Zhao, he would probably slap her across the face.

It's impossible for them to be as gentle as Li Mufeng, who never interfered in anything.

"Mu Feng, you're too good to me."

Chen Qian was holding Li Mufeng, the hickeys on her neck still visible.

Li Mufeng said gently, "I feel like I haven't been good enough to you."

After a few moments of sweet talk, he said, "Honey, I've run into some problems while recording a show recently. There's someone who's been working against me at every turn."

Chen Qian frowned: "Who dares to go against you?"

“A special operations unit commander kept making things difficult for me during the recording of the program.”

Li Mufeng's handsome face showed a hint of grievance.

This kind of posture is disgusting to men, but many women often fall for it, as it can arouse women's maternal protective instincts and is also a major direction for the entertainment industry to shape male stars.

Chen Qian flew into a rage and said, "You're just a mere squad leader? Tell me who he is! I'll have Uncle Wang teach him a lesson."

Even if the special operations force isn't under his father's command, he can still give them a little discipline or a warning.

"His name is Lu Zhao."

Li Mufeng didn't notice the change in Chen Qian's expression. She lowered her head slightly and tilted it to the lower right, making her look even more aggrieved.

"I just think the living conditions in the camp are terrible, and we can't even make any improvements..."

After receiving no response for a long time, he looked up and glanced at Chen Qian out of the corner of his eye. He saw that her eyes were wide open and her face was contorted with rage.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention this name again."

Chen Qian's attitude suddenly turned very cold. Li Mufeng was very curious about the reason, but he knew that this topic could not be continued, so he quickly changed the subject to appease her.

In the end, Li Mufeng had no choice but to sacrifice himself, taking a small pill and spending more than an hour to barely improve Miss Chen's mood.

He was too promiscuous when he was young, and his health was ruined long ago. Without medication, he simply cannot satisfy Miss Chen.

At noon, Li Mufeng left the manor by car and arrived at the Ninth Detachment camp about an hour and twenty minutes later.

He took a bottle of low-grade T9 life supplement to replenish his energy, so that he wouldn't look too pale and be unable to record the program later.

Suddenly, the vehicle stopped at the entrance of the camp.

Li Mufeng asked, "What happened?"

The special operations soldier on duty stood outside the driver's side window and said, "Comrades, please get out of the car for inspection."

Li Mufeng frowned, but did not resist, after all, the other party had a gun.

The moment he opened the car door and stepped out, he felt the flashing lights.

The next moment, a large hand reached out.

The special agents pinned him to the ground, his fair face pressed against the earth, a scene captured by paparazzi.

Li Mufeng was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage and shouted, "What are you doing?! Let me go! My father-in-law is Marquis Wu! If you don't let me go, you're all finished!"

The special agents' strength noticeably weakened upon hearing the name "Wuhou," but they still pressed him down relentlessly.

Two figures stood in front of Li Mufeng; he could only see their military boots.

Looking down at Li Mufeng, who was being pressed to the ground like a dead dog, Lu Zhao felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the reporters frantically taking pictures around him.

Then there was a bit of excitement, as if we were doing something forbidden.

This guy treats celebrities like dogs, they wouldn't dare to do that without Wu Hou backing them up!
He said, "Comrade Li Mufeng, you are now suspected of a criminal case. Our bureau is now arresting you. Please cooperate with the investigation."
