The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 306: Chapter 297: Leaving a Backup Plan

Chen Luyou was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment, then his voice turned unusually wary as he said, "Lin Mu, what do you mean by this? Trying to scare me? Let me tell you, I’ve been mingling in South City for half my life, I’m not so easily frightened, don’t waste your breath on me, it’s useless!"

"Heh, Captain Chen, impressive. In that case, there’s nothing more to say. But I can guarantee you, as long as tonight, you sleep until tomorrow morning, you’ll find that the most circulated thing throughout Wancheng is the video of you, Captain Chen, checking into a hotel with a woman. I’m sure by then, your official position, which took so many years to climb to, will surely be gone. Honestly, compared to your police captain position, a Flying Dragon KTV really isn’t much. But for Captain Chen, losing a deputy bureau level position like that means there might not be any more chances in the future. I’ve said my piece, since you’re bent on destroying everything, let’s see how it plays out, see you around!" Lin Mu acted as if he was about to hang up, though he wasn’t going to actually do it, just wanted to scare Chen Luyou. noveldrama

Sure enough, this guy immediately chickened out and quickly said, "Wait for me downstairs, I’ll be right down!"

"Heh, if you’d been this obedient earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this. I’ll wait for you then!" Lin Mu chuckled, hung up the phone, thinking that this was a classic case of ’refusing the wine offered and opting for punishment instead’.

Usually, it would take about five minutes to get downstairs, but this time it only took two minutes before Chen Luyou emerged from the stairway, likely without his clothes and shoes properly put on, as even the button on his collar was done up wrong in his hurry. This definitely scared Captain Chen!

Lin Mu waved at Chen Luyou from inside the car, and soon enough, Chen Luyou was walking over to him, getting into the front passenger seat.

"Heh, Captain Chen, living life quite the way, aren’t we?" Lin Mu pulled out a cigarette and handed one to Chen Luyou, lighting one for himself as he spoke.

"Where’s the stuff?" Chen Luyou asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"Heh, right here." Lin Mu laughed and took out the disc.

Chen Luyou was just about to reach for it when Lin Mu swiftly pulled his hand back.

"Captain Chen, no need to be hasty. About my matter, can you make things easier for me?" Lin Mu asked unhurriedly.

Chen Luyou looked at Lin Mu, now regretting everything. It was unmistakable that Lin Mu had set him up, and now it was too late to do anything about it. If he didn’t cooperate with this twisted individual, he knew this devious guy was capable of anything, like using a call girl to trap a police captain and then filming it for evidence. Such a move could only come from a crafty and sinister guy like Lin Mu.

But with things having reached this point, Chen Luyou had no other options. If he didn’t want to lose his official hat, he had to let others lead him by the nose and play along obediently. Initially planning to follow along with Lei Gang to reach the rank of bureau chief, he was caught off guard, finding his manhood unexpectedly used against him as leverage, threatening his official position. To safeguard this hard-earned position, Captain Chen decided to immediately compromise!

"I promise you, I’ll handle this matter for you, but those punks are adamant that they got the drugs from your place. Although they weren’t found at your store, you’ll still need to prove it somehow!" Chen Luyou said.

Lin Mu rubbed his chin, considering he still had a few punks under his thumb, whom he probably recognized, getting them to confess should make things easier.

"That’s no problem. To be honest, a few of those punks’ accomplices are still with me, and they were all instructed by the same person. I’ll have them confess and reveal everything, rest assured!" Lin Mu assured him.

"That’s best, send someone to bring them to the South City police station. I’ll interrogate them first thing in the morning. Once they confess, your Flying Dragon KTV won’t have any issues, maybe just temporarily shut down for reorganization!" Chen Luyou nodded and said.

"Oh great, thank you, Captain Chen. Here’s the stuff back, feel free to enjoy it at home if you’re interested! Honestly, your acting isn’t bad, almost as good as Teacher Cang’s and Teacher Boda’s!"

Lin Mu said a rare lie, but apparently, it was well-received as Teacher Chen smiled without objection, taking the disc from Lin Mu.

Chen Luyou checked the disc, then slipped it into his inner shirt pocket, suddenly changing his expression,

"Boss Chen, now that the disc is with me, do you have any other evidence left?"

Lin Mu heard the intent behind his words; this was clearly reneging on the deal! His firm promises earlier were just empty words!

Fortunately, Lin Mu had made a backup on his computer before coming, rendering this disc just a superficial form of existence. If he wanted to, he could produce hundreds, thousands of copies upon returning!

Lin Mu smiled slightly, a sinister smile curling at his lips, "Captain Chen doesn’t want to keep his word, huh?"

"What do you think?" Chen Luyou had a look of his scheme succeeding.

"Ahem," Lin Mu faked a couple of coughs, "Seems like Captain Chen plays around on the computer too much, do you know what pressing Ctrl plus C, followed by Ctrl plus V would result in?"

Chen Luyou’s face turned pale, trembling as he pointed at Lin Mu, "You, you, despicable, you actually kept a backup!"

Lin Mu chuckled, "This is precisely to guard against sharp-witted characters like Captain Chen! As a mere lower-class civilian, I had no choice but to keep a way out for myself!"

Looking again at Chen Luyou’s darkened face, which turned from red to black, and now from black to green!

"Fine, I’ll do as you say, but you too must keep your promise not to spread this incident, or else we’ll both lose everything! Your KTV is on my turf in South City, and if anything happens to me, my people will ensure your place can’t continue operating!"

"Sure, sure, as the saying goes, civilians do not fight officials. As long as Captain Chen keeps his promise, how dare I, a small fry, refuse to comply?"

Having said it to this point, they both reached an agreement. Lin Mu was unlikely to easily release the video, but getting this cunning merchant to destroy it completely would be as hard as drowning a fish in water! With that, Chen Luyou opened the car door and left, heading straight back upstairs.

Lin Mu sat in the car, watching Chen Luyou’s back, slowly exhaling smoke, "Think you can mess with me? I’ll make sure you regret it!"
