Chapter 61: Auntieʼs Suspicion

Like Tian Lu, Liu Fengyi also didnʼt mention that matter again. She smiled and said, ”Itʼs nothing much, just a special case at the Southern District Police Station that I need to handle.”

Although she was extremely close friends with Tian Lu, this matter concerned the Liu family after all. Moreover, as a journalist, Tian Lu didnʼt need to know these details, so Liu Fengyi only briefly mentioned it.

Tian Lu didnʼt inquire further either. They got out of bed together, had a light meal, and then Tian Lu left for the TV station with the recorded interviews from the previous day. Liu Fengyi also tidied up and drove to the Southern District Police Station.

Liu Fengyi had already assigned her secretary and aide to Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi siblings, and she hadnʼt sought another aide. These days, she had been driving herself. It must be said that once you entered the political circle, life became quite exhausting. Trustworthy individuals were scarce.

Besides her family, there were only a few people like Zhou Mingming and Ming Yuexin whom she trusted.

When Liu Fengyi arrived at the police station, Ming Yuexin was already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Liu Fengyi, she formally greeted her and addressed her as Mayor Liu. Unlike Zhou Mingming, who was her personal secretary, few people knew about the relationship between Ming Yuexin and Liu Fengyi.

From the fact that even Ye Fei didnʼt know that Ming Yuexin was associated with Liu Fengyi, it was clear that Ming Yuexin was like a hidden piece on Liu Fengyiʼs chessboard in Wanghai City.

Although it was the first time the two women had a direct conversation in a public setting, Liu Fengyi simply nodded lightly, treating Ming Yuexin like any other subordinate.

It wasnʼt until Ming Yuexin led them into her own office that Liu Fengyi let go of her mayoral demeanor. Her gaze towards Ming Yuexin was filled with affection as she sighed, ”Xinʼer, youʼve been through a lot.”

Although Liu Fengyiʼs words seemed a bit disjointed, Ming Yuexin understood instantly. She was a principled girl, but for the sake of the Liu family, she had compromised a bit last night.

Despite feeling uncomfortable about pretending in front of Liu Fengyi to hide their relationship, she considered it worthwhile due to Liu Fengyiʼs kindness and care. She smiled faintly and said, ”Auntie Liu, please donʼt say that. I am happy to do things for you.”

Liu Fengyi nodded, silently deciding to transfer her closer after this matter was resolved. It would save Ming Yuexin from floating around like a rootless duckweed. However, it wasnʼt the right time to tell her yet, so Liu Fengyi changed the subject, asking, ”Tell me, what really happened last night?”

Ming Yuexin poured them each a cup of tea, sat beside Liu Fengyi, and recounted the events of the previous night. She ended with a tinge of self-blame, ”I thought I could help in some way, but it turned out I made things worse inadvertently, disrupting the plans of the person who wanted to assist the Liu family.”

Liu Fengyi chuckled, ”You shouldnʼt blame yourself. Even I, if I were there, might have acted similarly to you. I wonder who was trying to help us. By the way, what did Black Wolf say? Had that person had any conflicts with him before?”

Ming Yuexin shook her head, ”No, Black Wolf mentioned he had never seen that person before, and based on his description, that person had never been seen in the Southern District either.”

”Oh? How are you so sure he hadnʼt appeared in the Southern District?” Liu Fengyi became interested. Wanghai Cityʼs Southern District was vast, almost like a small city.

Even if Ming Yuexin was diligent, it was impossible for her to remember everyone who had appeared there.

Ming Yuexin smiled, ”According to Black Wolf, that person is around 7 feet tall and so broad that his arms are thicker than a normal personʼs waist. If you see someone like that, how could you forget?”

Liu Fengyiʼs mind raced. She remembered the unexpectedly strong man she had encountered last night. Could they be the same person? Hurriedly, she asked, ”Was that person bald and wearing peculiar clothes?”

Ming Yuexin looked puzzled, ”How did you know? Thatʼs exactly what Black Wolf said. Not only was his attire strange, but he himself was peculiar. Bullets seemed to have no effect on him. Auntie Liu, can martial artists truly be immune to bullets?”

”In theory, if one masters horizontal kung fu to the highest level, they should be able to block bullets,” Liu Fengyi replied casually, but inside, her thoughts were in turmoil. It seemed that the person was indeed the one she had encountered last night.

The fact that he dared to jump straight off the Wanghai Tower indicated that stopping bullets shouldnʼt be a difficult task for him.

However, this raised more questions for her. Why would such a formidable expert, rumored to be terrifying just by hearsay, assist the Liu family? Moreover, he had visited the Wanghai Tower before coming here. Was he looking for her at that time? Was it because he didnʼt reveal himself due to Tian Luʼs presence?

The more Liu Fengyi thought about it, the more puzzled she became. She couldnʼt help but murmur to herself, ”Who could this person be?”

Ming Yuexin chuckled, ”If it werenʼt for your confirmation, I would have doubted Black Wolf was deceiving me. The image he described sounds like a barbarian straight out of the underworld.”

”A barbarian?” Another thought stirred in Liu Fengyiʼs mind. It did resemble her nephewʼs nickname. However, this idea vanished as quickly as it appeared because she couldnʼt associate her nephew, who needed assistance even to walk, with this expert who seemed to instill fear just by being mentioned.

After pondering for a while without reaching a conclusion, Liu Fengyi decided to stop dwelling on it. Having such an unbelievably powerful ally helping her family wasnʼt a bad thing, and she saw no need to overthink it.

As for tracking down that person for clarification, Liu Fengyi didnʼt even consider it. If he wanted to remain hidden, even the worldʼs best trackers wouldnʼt be able to find him.

Putting this matter aside, Liu Fengyi started to worry about Ming Yuexin. After all, she didnʼt seem to have a strong backing, and Black Wolf was somewhat influential in the area.

By detaining him for a night, she might attract trouble from those indebted to Black Wolf. Therefore, Liu Fengyi asked, ”How did you manage to bring Black Wolf in? Do you think there might be any trouble because of this?”
