Chapter 167 : Chapter 167
Chapter 167 Take a Tiger Marquis Away for Investigation? You Are Not Qualified!
After hearing Li Mu’s words, the old woman and the younger woman were both dumbfounded.
What?
What camp Overall Commander?
Had the people who sent them not said that this was just an ordinary Abyss-Suppression Army soldier?
How had he become an officer?
And he was even talking about colluding with the enemy and betraying the nation!?
This crime was far too serious. Was this not the sky collapsing on them? How could they possibly bear such a charge?
Not only them, even the people who had been snapping photos enthusiastically could not help trembling.
In that instant, a thought appeared in all their minds.
Could this even be broadcast?
What kind of result would this end with? If it truly caused a major incident, could their small bodies withstand the consequences?
The most shocked were the four Law Enforcement Team members who had arrived.
They roughly knew that Li Mu was an officer.
They simply had not expected Li Mu to actually dare announce his identity in front of so many people and so many cameras!
And he was even a commander? They did not know much about Tiger Roar Camp, but they had heard of it.
They immediately felt that this was going to be difficult.
After glancing at Li Mu’s credentials, the team leader took a deep breath and said, “Commander Li, how did they frame you?”
“They falsely accused me of rape,” Li Mu said calmly.
“Then we will have to trouble these two ladies to come with us. We will investigate this properly when we return.”
“If they truly framed you, we will also punish them according to the law and clear your name.”
“But before the matter is investigated clearly, please cooperate with us.”
When the captain said this, he did not panic inwardly.
Everything was being handled according to procedure. They had not crossed any lines.
As long as they took Li Mu away in public, then regardless of whether the truth was later found out, he would be covered in filth.
“Take them back for investigation? Then you are truly thinking too much.”
“When I said thorough investigation, I meant that we, the Abyss-Suppression Army, would investigate. Not you.”
“I called the Law Enforcement Department only to inform you that these two people are being taken away by the Abyss-Suppression Army.”
Li Mu shook his head and waved the phone in his hand.
“I have already reported it to the military district. Our people will arrive soon.”
“Please go back and inform your leaders.”
The four Law Enforcement personnel immediately changed expressions.
These two women absolutely could not be taken away by the Abyss-Suppression Army.
Otherwise, if the Abyss-Suppression Army followed the vine to the melon, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Apologies! Even if you are an Abyss-Suppression Army officer, this place is still under the jurisdiction of our Law Enforcement Headquarters!”
“Please do not use your power to oppress others.”
“We must take these two people away!”
Li Mu smiled. “Go ahead and try.”
As he spoke, he gave the two Eighth Grade Law Enforcement Officers behind him a look.
The two stepped forward from the left and right to grab the two frightened women.
Unexpectedly, Li Mu directly blocked their path.
The two Eighth Grade Law Enforcement Officers reached out toward Li Mu at the same time.
But before they could touch Li Mu, two large golden characters, “Lin,” appeared around him with a thunderous force.
They directly blocked the two men’s hands.
Immediately afterward, the golden characters rapidly dispersed and became two large “Zhen” characters.
They directly locked onto their wrists and pressed downward. With a crack, they pinned the two men to the ground!
The two Eighth Grade Martial Artists struggled with all their strength, but even when they mobilized their True Qi, they could not break free from the enormous Zhen characters.
The two Ninth Grade Martial Artists were shocked.
The information they had received stated that Li Mu was Eighth Grade, and that even a Battalion Commander from a branch could not restrain him.
That was why the higher-ups had sent two Ninth Grade fighters out together.
No matter what happened, they should have been able to handle it.
They had never expected that the moment Li Mu made a move, the power he erupted with would clearly be Ninth Grade.
“You dare resist Law Enforcement!”
One of them shouted, and the two charged toward Li Mu from the left and right.
In their minds, it was normal for Eighth Grade fighters to be restrained. After all, Li Mu was Ninth Grade.
But the two of them were at the same grade as him. No matter how strong Li Mu was, he could not possibly fight two people at once.
Unexpectedly, the two of them fared no better than the previous pair.
Their hands were blocked by the Lin character shields, then they were slammed to the ground and pinned by the Zhen-Character Seals.
A terrifying burst of Inner Force erupted from the team leader’s body and blasted against the Zhen-Character Seal.
It seemed that he wanted to shatter it.
Unfortunately, the Zhen-Character Seal did not move in the slightest!
The team leader was stunned. Generally speaking, a martial technique released away from the hand could never be stronger than a martial technique used directly through the hand.
From beginning to end, Li Mu had not even reached out. This was clearly a detached release.
Yet even after it had been released for so long, his hand-based martial technique had struck this Zhen-Character Seal and produced no reaction at all?
The gap was already so large that he did not dare imagine it.
If Li Mu used a hand-based martial technique to attack him, what would happen?
He felt the helplessness of an infant facing a two-meter-tall muscular strongman.
The other man went even crazier. With his free hand, he drew a long saber. A few inches of blue light flickered along the blade as he slashed fiercely at the Zhen-Character Seal several times.
Unexpectedly, every strike rebounded. Sparks flew everywhere, yet he still failed to shake the Zhen-Character Seal even slightly.
One of the Eighth Grade Martial Artists was rather quick-witted.
He shouted into his walkie-talkie, “Calling headquarters! Someone is resisting Law Enforcement and injuring Law Enforcement personnel! Requesting support!”
Li Mu did not stop him.
He simply let them call for support.
The surrounding crowd had already retreated far away.
Previously, they had still dared to discuss in voices that were neither too loud nor too soft whether Li Mu had really used his power to bully others.
Now, none of them dared casually run their mouths anymore.
With Li Mu’s current attitude, daring to attack Law Enforcement personnel meant only two possibilities.
The first was that Li Mu truly had been wronged. He had confidence and was not afraid of the matter growing bigger.
The second was that his background was so powerful that he did not fear the Law Enforcement Department! He might not even fear the Law Enforcement Bureau and could cover the sky with one hand!
No matter which possibility it was, this was already not something they could casually speculate about.
As for those responsible for “filming material,” their hands were already trembling.
They truly did not know how far the job they had accepted today would eventually escalate.
There were also Martial Artists among the surrounding spectators.
All the Martial Artists could not help exclaiming.
“Putting everything else aside, this Abyss-Suppression officer’s strength is probably even more terrifying than Profound Rank!”
“Could this be the Three-Character Dao-Pattern Seal?”
“Hmph, this rape accusation is probably completely groundless. A man like this could get any kind of woman he wanted.”
“Forget forcing anyone. If he crooked his finger, seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girls would throw themselves at him like moths to a flame.”
“If he said he liked women in their thirties, my wife would divorce me on the spot, wash herself clean, and go find him!”
“Brother, what is your wife’s phone number?”
“Get lost!”
The four large golden characters did not dissipate for a long time. They remained there like Five-Finger Mountain, pressing the four Eighth and Ninth Grade Martial Artists down so they could not move.
Li Mu did not remain idle either. He took out his phone and sent An Xing a message.
“Tell the people you sent that we will let them take these two women away! Tell them we will go to their place at seven o’clock tonight to hand them over. They are to hand the criminals to us.”
On the other end of the phone, An Xing was stunned for a moment.
He did not know what kind of trick Li Mu was trying to play.
Since Li Mu had already said the Abyss-Suppression Army would take them away, why would he let the other side take them?
However, he still made the arrangements as instructed.
More and more people gathered around.
The people from Zhongshan Law Enforcement Headquarters and the people from the Wanren Military District arrived almost at the same time.
A large number of Law Enforcement vehicles and military vehicles converged from both sides. The formation was enormous, drawing countless sidelong glances from the crowd.
The civilians thought some sensational incident had occurred.
The person who came from Law Enforcement Headquarters was precisely the minister of Zhongshan Law Enforcement Headquarters, Lu Wanqiang.
He was one of the elite second-generation members of the Lu Family who had taken the official career path.
Lu Wanqiang himself was a Profound Rank Second Grade cultivator in his fifties.
He also brought two Profound Rank First Grade experts from the Law Enforcement Department with him.
The moment he got out of the vehicle, he headed straight for the scene.
The one who came from the Wanren Military District was Military District Overall Commander Chen Chong.
Chen Chong was Profound Rank Third Grade, and his aura was even more powerful. The moment he entered, his pressure spread across the entire scene, causing many low-grade Martial Artists to retreat one after another as they tried to escape that heart-palpitating oppression.
Lu Wanqiang’s brows were tightly furrowed. He led his people directly toward Chen Chong.
“Commander Chen! Is the military district not going a little too far?”
“Our Law Enforcement Department personnel were acting according to regulations! Your Abyss-Suppression Army man openly resisted the law!”
“What are we supposed to do?”
Chen Chong’s face was expressionless. He also seemed very dissatisfied with Lu Wanqiang’s attitude.
“Minister Lu!”
“If the false accusation of rape succeeds, the impact of this matter could be either large or small!”
“We have no choice but to investigate it strictly and make sure the truth of the incident is revealed.”
“I see nothing wrong with our officer being a bit cautious!”
Lu Wanqiang narrowed his eyes slightly.
In his heart, he cursed the Wanren Military District to death!
These bastards had accepted benefits from the Lu Family, yet they still chose to stand on Li Mu’s side!
This was clearly them playing the Lu Family for fools!
In that case, the Lu Family would not indulge them anymore.
“Commander Chen, I must take Li Mu and these two women away for strict investigation!”
“Because we cannot confirm whether Li Mu was falsely accused. We must uphold justice for the people!”
Lu Wanqiang’s voice was cold, as though this was a final ultimatum.
Chen Chong said indifferently, “Minister Lu, recognize your own status!”
“Li Mu’s matter will naturally be investigated by the Military Justice Department. If he truly committed a crime, the Abyss-Suppression Army will not shield him.”
“But if you want to take a Junior Tiger Marquis away for investigation, you are not qualified!”
Chen Chong bit down extremely hard on the final word, and his spit nearly sprayed Lu Wanqiang’s face.
Lu Wanqiang laughed from extreme anger.
“Good, good, good!”
“Then what about these two women? Are you going to take them away too? The plaintiff and the defendant will both be in your hands.”
“Could it be that in Linyuan City, your Wanren Military District’s word alone is law?”
Chen Chong showed a trace of apprehension and deliberately let Lu Wanqiang see it.
Then Chen Chong took a deep breath.
“Our man will be taken back by me for questioning. These two women may also be taken back by you for interrogation.”
“But if you cannot produce an investigation result before seven o’clock tonight, the Abyss-Suppression Army will come to receive them!”
“Move out!”
Chen Chong gave the order, and several Abyss-Suppression Army soldiers stepped forward to surround Li Mu. It was unclear whether they were arresting him or protecting him.
The group boarded the military vehicle.
Lu Wanqiang secretly let out a breath of relief. As long as these two women were not taken away by the Wanren Military District, that was enough.
The moment Li Mu got into the vehicle, he opened the system.
Behind the Flying Mosquito Transformation of [Seventy-Two Transformations], he lit up an entry.
After reaching Ninth Grade, the advancement button for Li Mu’s Great Heavenly Immortal Art had already appeared.
Moreover, several new Divine Abilities and countless new entries had also appeared.
For example, [Great Sage’s Battle Regalia], [Gather Form and Scatter Qi], [Undying Hairs], and so on.
The Flying Mosquito Transformation suffix had also gained a new unlockable entry.
[Perfect Concealment: When transformed into a flying mosquito, experts below Earth Rank cannot sense you.]
Unfortunately, before he collected one million Triumph Points and advanced to Great Heavenly Immortal Art, those new Divine Abilities could not be learned.
Otherwise, if Li Mu could unlock Gather Form and Scatter Qi, he could have saved the eight thousand points for Perfect Concealment.
Li Mu quickly unlocked Perfect Concealment.
Then he left an External Incarnation inside the military vehicle, while he himself transformed into a flying mosquito and flew out of the vehicle.
At this time, Lu Wanqiang was ordering people to escort the two women into the vehicle.
Li Mu landed directly on the younger woman’s shoulder...
