Li Mu glanced at him: "Why are you criticizing me?"

Deng Hui was stunned for a moment. So many people had been scared and hid to the side when they saw him, but this person dared to talk back. His hooligan instincts kicked in, and he took a step forward to grab Li Mu's collar.

Li Mu sneered, knowing this would be the outcome. He had acted without a legitimate reason earlier, but now he could finally stretch his muscles.

Before he could reach out, Li Mu raised his hand and slapped him across the face. With his immense strength, Deng Hui was sent spinning halfway around by the slap and fell to the ground.

He lay on the ground, covering his face, stunned. He couldn't believe the person in front of him would attack, and so decisively and ruthlessly at that. Wasn't he afraid of endless trouble afterward if he fought with a small-time thug like him?

He froze for a moment, then realized he had been hit. Enraged, he tried to bend down and get up, but his hair was grabbed. Li Mu dragged him to a secluded corner where there were no security cameras and it was unlikely he would be discovered.

Then came several hard slaps across the face, leaving Deng Hui's face burning and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His mind was also reeling from the shock.

That wasn't all. Just as he was pulled up by the hair, he was kicked several times and fell to the ground again.

He was then pulled up again, slapped several times, and kicked a few more times. Deng Hui couldn't even stand up and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing his pitiful state, Li Mu didn't soften his heart, knowing that the man in front of him was no good. Calling him scum would be too kind.

Despite Deng Hui's pitiful appearance, Li Mu was very careful with his actions, only inflicting simple superficial injuries. He wouldn't risk his life for such scum.

Li Mu has a hundred ways to deal with a petty thug with a lot of dark history.

Seeing how ruthless Li Mu was, Deng Hui was also frightened. His eyes darted around, and he didn't even have the courage to look Li Mu in the eye.

This is normal; for many petty thugs, the more submissive you are, the more arrogant they become.

Li Mu looked at Deng Hui and found him utterly displeasing. Clearly, he hadn't vented his pent-up emotions, so he went up and gave him another beating.

I feel much better now.

He waved his hand as if shooing away flies.

"Get out of here, don't get in my way!"

Deng Hui was so frightened that he curled up on the ground, covering his head, too scared to move or resist.

He could only hope that the man in front of him would have his fun and let him off the hook. In his heart, he was secretly cursing. Where did such a ruthless person come from? He had taken the beating for nothing.

As for calling the police, Deng Hui had no intention of doing so. He knew his own situation best; he already had countless criminal records with the police.

Who would believe that he was beaten for no reason! At the very least, it should be classified as mutual assault, and he should be locked up for a few days first.

This is practically handing myself over!

Hearing his elder brother's words, he felt relieved, knowing he had escaped a calamity.

Without a word, he got up, staggered and ran all the way, and soon disappeared from sight.

They didn't even dare to utter a harsh word.

……

He took out a tissue from his phone, wiped his hands, and sent a message to Deng Jiajia.

"Come out, it's alright now."

Just as Li Mu returned to the gate, Deng Jiajia cautiously came out as well. She looked around and, seeing that her brother was gone, her expression immediately relaxed.

She rushed over and hugged Li Mu, burying her head in his chest, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "Brother Mu, thank you so much. You've troubled me again today."

"Besides you, I really don't know who else I can turn to."

Li Mu patted her back comfortingly, "You've come to the right person, after all, you're my good sister!"

"Your brother suffered a bit today, so he should behave himself for a while."

Deng Jiajia kissed Li Mu on the cheek, then smiled through her tears: "Thank you, Brother Mu, my sweetheart."

Li Mu patted her round and perky buttocks.

"Naughty!"

……

That evening, after a deep conversation, Li Mu looked at the obedient and charming Deng Jiajia in his arms, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling like he had become a scumbag.

There was a big, beautiful peach waiting over there, but I was... sigh!

Not wanting to give up on Yang Tao only leads to disappointing Deng Jiajia.

He wasn't the kind of person who would abandon someone after they'd done their bidding. If he couldn't give Deng Jiajia what she wanted, he could only make up for it in other ways.

Deng Jiajia looked at Li Mu, who was deep in thought, and found him particularly charming. She was momentarily infatuated and moved closer to him.

She asked in a soft voice, "Brother Mu, what are you thinking about?"

Li Mu kissed her on the forehead.

"Of course I'm thinking about my little Jiajia, she's such a charming little devil."

Deng Jiajia, somewhat haughty, wrapped her arms around Li Mu's neck, revealing a patch of white skin on her chest.

"Is she really that beautiful?"

Li Mu tapped her nose.

"Of course it's beautiful."

Deng Jiajia pouted: "Then why don't you?"

With a "smack," Li Mu slapped her round buttocks.

"Are you itching for a beating again?"

Deng Jiajia put on a wronged expression.

"Now that they know, you can just be your sweetheart, okay?"

Li Mu smiled and pinched her smooth, tender cheek.

"Since you're so obedient, then don't go to work tomorrow. I'll give you a gift."

Deng Jiajia's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "What gift?"

"We'll find out tomorrow."

……

Chapter 70 Secret Investigation

The next morning, at the Audi dealership, Deng Jiajia stared wide-eyed at the white Audi A4 in front of her, knowing it was a gift from Li Mu. She was clearly shocked.

She rushed over and hugged Li Mu tightly: "Brother Mu, you're so kind. It's just too expensive, maybe we shouldn't accept it."

Li Mu smiled faintly and said, "Take it if you want it. As long as you like it."

Deng Jiajia finally nodded, her face beaming with happiness.

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Li Mu dialed a number.

"Hey, Lao Liu, got a moment? Let's go out for tea."

“Li Mu, I may not be available to others who need my help, but I absolutely must be available to you.”

"Okay, it's settled then. It'll be the same place as always, Cuiweiju."

Old Liu, who just spoke with Li Mu, used to be a police officer with excellent criminal investigation skills. Later, he went into business and opened a private detective agency. Over the years, he has recruited many talented people, and now it is one of the most powerful private detective agencies in the capital.

However, Lao Liu is quite low-key, and not many people outside the industry know about him. He generally doesn't accept orders unless they are from acquaintances or introduced by acquaintances.

Li Mu had dealt with him quite a bit before and they were considered good friends.

……

In the Cuiweiju Teahouse, two people sat facing each other in a quaint, second-floor window-side private room.

Old Liu poured a cup of tea for each of them, picked it up, tasted it, and nodded.

"The Longjing tea is quite good today!"

As he spoke, he looked up at Li Mu.

"It's been a while since we last met. What brings you to invite me for tea today?"

Li Mu smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and slowly put it down.

"Well, I've got some business to offer you."

Speaking of this, Lao Liu perked up.

"Oh! What's up? There's not much to do at the office lately, and I'm getting really bored. I was just looking for something to do."

Li Mu didn't answer, but took out a piece of paper and handed it over, on which were the information of two people.

Old Liu took them and looked at them, then asked doubtfully, "These are the two..."

Li Mu nodded and pointed to the first person.

"This man named Li Wei fabricated an identity called Zhuang Yan, who had an overseas study background, and is now the vice president of an IT company."

"Old Liu, you're a professional. Investigate thoroughly, find out his background, and see what illegal or disorderly things he's done."

Old Liu looked at Li Wei's file and asked in confusion, "How did this guy offend you? You two don't seem to have any connection at all."
