“Why not?” Mu Xiuzhen countered.
Li Feng smiled but said nothing. In his heart, however, he grew anxious. There was no need to guess that the batch of chemical machines was in Fu Yanxiong’s hands. How could Fu Yanxiong not arrange guards? With Mu Xiuzhen’s skills, investigating those machines might be like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth.
“What are you smiling at?” Mu Xiuzhen looked at Li Feng angrily. She felt he was mocking her, mocking her for overestimating herself.
“Officer Mu, I happen to have time now. How about I go with you?” Li Feng said. He thought Mu Xiuzhen must have some clue. He had nothing to do anyway, so going with her to check would be good. If he could find the whereabouts of the machines, it would resolve this trouble. Besides, he might even save Mu Xiuzhen’s life.
“You, can you manage?” Mu Xiuzhen looked at Li Feng doubtfully. In her view, someone as frail as Li Feng would only cause her trouble.
Hearing this, Li Feng’s figure flashed. He appeared beside Mu Xiuzhen, instantly subdued her, and pinned her against the wall.
“What are you doing?” Mu Xiuzhen asked in panic.
“Officer Mu, weren’t you asking if I can manage? A man cannot say he cannot. Now I will let you test if I can.” Li Feng looked at the beautiful face close at hand with a half-smile. His whole body pressed against Mu Xiuzhen, feeling the softness and curves of her figure.
“You, let me go…” Mu Xiuzhen panicked. Last time at the police station, Li Feng had dared to mess with her. Here it was even worse.
“Humph, Officer Mu, you are a police officer, yet with skills like yours? I am not exaggerating. If I dragged you into a dark room now, I could do whatever I wanted. Do you think you could resist?” Li Feng sneered.
“Li Feng, if you do not let go, I will call for help.” Mu Xiuzhen said in alarm.
“Call for help?” Li Feng sneered, reached out, and tapped a point on Mu Xiuzhen’s body.
“Mmm mmm mmm…”
Mu Xiuzhen wanted to speak but suddenly found she could say nothing. This frightened her, her face paling as she looked at Li Feng in disbelief.
She never imagined Li Feng had such a method. Even if he took her right there, others would only think two lovers were playing thrill games.
“Officer Mu, now I am qualified to go with you, right?” Li Feng chuckled lightly, released her acupoint, and let her go.
“You, you…” Mu Xiuzhen stared at Li Feng, speechless. If she had not experienced it herself, she would never believe such a miraculous thing existed.
“Li Feng, is this the legendary martial arts?” After a while, Mu Xiuzhen reacted, her eyes shining as she looked at him.
“Yes.” Li Feng nodded.
“Then teach me, okay?” Mu Xiuzhen came to Li Feng’s side like a little girl, holding his hand.
“Mu Xiuzhen, are you ill?” Li Feng looked at her in surprise. He had not expected this reaction. For a moment, he doubted if this Mu Xiuzhen was the smart and capable policewoman.
“Li Feng, teach me, please?” Mu Xiuzhen had practised boxing with her father since childhood, but after over ten years, aside from a strong body, there was no other effect. Her father had told her from a young age that martial arts existed in this world. As long as one cultivated inner energy, one could learn legendary martial arts. But after over ten years, she had not cultivated any inner energy.
Seeing Li Feng’s miraculous skills now, her first reaction was that he knew legendary martial arts. To learn them, she put aside the matter of Li Feng teasing her.
“Officer Mu, let us focus on the case for now.” Li Feng had no interest in teaching her martial arts. For him, the most important thing now was investigating the whereabouts of the chemical machines.
“The case? Okay.” Mu Xiuzhen realised that asking Li Feng to teach her was not urgent. Li Feng was not going anywhere.
“Officer Mu, where did you find out the chemical machines are?” Li Feng asked.
Mu Xiuzhen pointed ahead. “Just up there, in an abandoned warehouse not far away.”
“There is an abandoned warehouse in the city centre?” Li Feng asked strangely.
“It is not exactly abandoned. It was originally a shopping mall that was deserted for certain reasons. Behind the mall are several large warehouses, originally for storing goods. Now the chemical machines are in those warehouses.” Mu Xiuzhen explained.
Li Feng nodded and said to her, “Let us go take a look.”
After walking less than five minutes, Li Feng saw an abandoned mall appear before his eyes. Seeing it, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. He had not expected this abandoned mall to be so large, especially in the city centre.
This made Li Feng think that the “certain reasons” Mu Xiuzhen mentioned were probably not simple. But seeing the mall, an idea formed in his mind.
“Wait.” Seeing Mu Xiuzhen about to head towards the mall, Li Feng quickly pulled her back.
“What is it?” Mu Xiuzhen looked at him puzzled.
“I mean, you are not planning to just walk in like that, are you? You are a police officer, after all. That batch of chemical machines weighs dozens of tons and was stolen. Do you think they stole scrap iron? Do you think the place where they store them has no defences? Rushing in recklessly like this would only alert the enemy.” Li Feng truly wondered how Mu Xiuzhen became a police officer. She had no alertness at all.
Mu Xiuzhen then realised and smiled embarrassedly. “Then what now?”
“Let us sit across the street.” Opposite the abandoned mall was a restaurant. Li Feng pulled Mu Xiuzhen into it and found a window seat.
“Li Feng, what is your plan?” Mu Xiuzhen asked. If she had not seen his martial arts, she would never be so polite.
“Let us eat something first.” Li Feng called the waiter and ordered a few dishes.
“Li Feng, you…” Mu Xiuzhen glared at him angrily. Now she felt he had no plan and was just using the chance to hit on her.
“Officer Mu, calm down. Rushing in now does us no good. We might as well wait until dark.” Li Feng said gravely.
“Until dark?” Mu Xiuzhen was stunned, then understood.
Just then, a car stopped at the mall entrance. A woman got out and walked into the mall.
“It is her?” Seeing the woman, Li Feng’s face changed. Though far away, he recognised her at once. She was the woman he met before going to the 100,000 Mountains. Her name was something like Mu Jiajia.
Yes, Mu Jiajia. Could this theft of the chemical machines be related to her?
At this thought, Li Feng’s gaze turned cold.
Last time, this Mu Jiajia had tried every way to approach him, seemingly to get him to arrange her entry into Fengyuan Group.
Could she have been eyeing the machines even then?
If this theft was related to Mu Jiajia, what was her relationship with Fu Yanxiong? Or was there another group besides Fu Yanxiong targeting the machines?
Li Feng thought the second possibility unlikely. The only explanation was that this woman was Fu Yanxiong’s person.
At the same time, Li Feng recalled what Zhong Shuhui had told him: a woman had appeared near Supervisor Wu at Fengyuan Group. Could that be Mu Jiajia?
The more Li Feng thought, the more likely it seemed.
“Hey, Li Feng, is the beauty good-looking?” Mu Xiuzhen waved her hand in front of his eyes.
“Quiet.” Li Feng swatted her hand away and continued watching Mu Jiajia. This Mu Jiajia was no ordinary woman. Her skills were no less than Zhong Shuhui’s. If he encountered her tonight, it would be trouble.
“Li Feng, you…” Mu Xiuzhen glared at him huffily. Did he not see a great beauty sitting right in front of him?
Li Feng turned and stared hard at Mu Xiuzhen’s chest.
“What are you looking at?” Mu Xiuzhen crossed her arms over her chest, looking warily at him.
“I see your chest is not that big, yet you are so brainless.” Li Feng shook his head and sighed.
“What did you say?” Mu Xiuzhen looked at him furiously. This pervert dared call her brainless. Outrageous.
“Mu Xiuzhen, you are a police officer. Did you not notice that woman is suspicious?” Li Feng looked at her helplessly. He truly suspected she had used connections to become one.
“Suspicious? I think you find her beautiful.” Mu Xiuzhen sneered.
“Idiot. You just said this mall is abandoned. What is a woman doing here alone? Looking for a man for thrills?” Li Feng sneered.
Mu Xiuzhen was stunned. She had been angry at Li Feng ogling a beauty and had not thought of that. Now, reminded by him, she realised.
“Moreover, I know this woman. She is a venomous beauty, not easy to deal with.” Li Feng said gravely.
“She is hard to deal with?” Mu Xiuzhen clearly did not believe it.
Li Feng glanced at her, said nothing, but asked, “Officer Mu, can you mobilise police to raid this abandoned mall?”
Now Li Feng was ninety percent sure the chemical machines were in the warehouses behind the mall. Having police raid and find them was the easiest way.
“Probably not. This abandoned mall is special. Even our chief has no authority to order a raid. Otherwise, I would not plan to sneak in.” Mu Xiuzhen shook her head.
“I see.” Li Feng took out his phone, sent a few texts, then gazed coldly at the mall across the street.
