N-A-A Chapter 167 Spy?
Chapter 167 Spy?
"Mom, but Chen Mu hasn't been caught yet, so there's no rush to act now." Qin Huairu pointed out quickly.
"Why don't you take action yet? That capitalist's child." Jia Zhang urged, having already been eyeing Chen Mu's things.
Qin Huairu shook her head and gently asked her mother to restrain herself.
Soon, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old grandmother also came to visit the Jia family.
"Old Yi, I heard that that little beast Chen Mu was fired. Is it true?" When Jia Zhang saw them coming, she immediately asked a concerned question.
When the old lady at the side heard this, she turned her gaze to Yi Zhonghai and was filled with hatred towards Chen Mu. After all, her good grandson Sha Zhu no longer paid attention to her.
"As far as I know, it seems that he resigned on his own initiative. But even if not, Deputy Director Li may have planned to fire him a long time ago." Yi Zhonghai was in a particularly good mood today.
Although Chen Mu failed to be sent directly to prison, making him lose his job was also a small revenge for him.
"Why didn't you arrest that guy?" Jia Zhang continued to ask.
"I really don't know about this. Maybe the deputy director had some considerations in the arrangement." To be honest, Yi Zhonghai did not understand the situation in depth. He believed that they should follow the plan.
"We absolutely can't let this go! We must catch Chen Mu. He's causing chaos in the steel mill. If they don't take action there, we'll let other places deal with him. That kid is the son of a capitalist and a disaster." Jia Zhang said in a resolute tone.
Qin Huairu also hated Chen Mu very much. If it weren't for Chen Mu, her life wouldn't have ended up like this. Sha Zhu wouldn't have a wife either. She could still squeeze Sha Zhu's blood and money, and all of Sha Zhu's future property would be in her name.
However, because of Chen Mu, her reputation was ruined, her plans were blocked, and she was even forced to marry and have children by Yi Zhonghai. After thinking about it, Yi Zhonghai felt that Qin Huairu's words made sense. Now might be the best time to eliminate Chen Mu. If you miss this opportunity, your chances in the future might be slim.
"I'll go find out tomorrow where the reporting will be most effective." Yi Zhonghai was not clear about the reporting strategy.
After having dinner with He Yushui, the two strolled out of the hospital together to enjoy some quiet time.
Many people in the hospital were gloating over the news of Chen Mu's unemployment. This was expected. After all, Chen Mu's life was too good before, and people were always jealous of others' gains. They couldn't stand their own misfortunes when they saw others' good life.
Now that Chen Mu was in trouble, it was natural for others to react in this way. However, in Chen Mu's opinion, their behavior was ridiculous. "He Yushui, why did things develop to this point? People are so panicked?" He sighed.
"We are powerless to intervene in the infighting among the top leaders. More people may suffer in the future. All I can do is to protect myself and the people around me. Other things are beyond my ability." Chen Mu continued. Power is sometimes really frightening, and ordinary people are simply powerless to fight against it.
Shi Lao's situation was also worrying. According to historical records, he was killed in an incident and his remains were not found until decades later. Chen Mu thought that he should find a way to help this old man who dedicated his life to the country.
"Brother Chen Mu, wait a moment." At this time, Xu Damao approached on a bicycle and shouted.
"Da Mao, what can I do for you?" Chen Mu responded.
"My friend, you may not know this, but my father-in-law would like to invite you to dinner tonight," Xu Damao said.
Hearing this, the corners of Chen Mu's mouth slightly raised. He guessed that the matter of the photo might have been told to Lou's father. The old man probably thought that there was a powerful force behind Chen Mu.
"Okay, I'll attend the banquet tomorrow." Chen Mu did not refuse the other party's kindness. Since the Lou family was considering leaving, Chen Mu also wanted to take this opportunity to acquire the cultural relics and buildings they left behind. After all, he still had Hong Kong dollars in his hands.
"Great. I'll come back to discuss this with you tomorrow." Xu Damao left in a hurry, ready to inform his father-in-law about this.
"Brother Chen Mu, what is the purpose of Xu Damao's father-in-law looking for you?" He Yushui asked curiously.
"He's just seeking asylum. Many capitalists are being implicated now, and he must think that I have a powerful background." Chen Mu replied with a faint smile.
"Yeah, then Lou Xiao'e will be okay, right? These people in the hospital are always jealous of other people's luck." He Yushui analyzed.
"It seems that Lou Xiao'e is fine now, but if she doesn't get away from here as soon as possible, danger may follow." Chen Mu added.
"Brother Chen Mu, do you see that? They seem to be ransacking the house. Those armbands are the symbols of the Communist Party, right?" He Yushui pointed to a group of people moving around the gate of the courtyard in the distance. A girl cried out, "Why did you arrest my father? Let him go, please."
Chen Mu recognized Xiao Hongling at a glance: "This girl should be He Hongling. I often run into her after we met in the park. Hongling, your father seems to be in trouble." He Yushui, who also had a good impression of this little girl, asked: "What should we do, Brother Chen Mu?"
Upon hearing that Hongling's father had been arrested, Chen Mu immediately walked towards the crowd. "Stop!" he shouted, "What are you doing?" His voice echoed in the courtyard, and the atmosphere of tension instantly increased.
"Who are you, kid? Our team is always efficient. Get away from here." The leader of the team said angrily.
"Brother, they want to arrest my father and take away everything in our house. Please save my father." He Hongling grabbed Chen Mu's hand and begged with tears in her eyes.
Chen Mu firmly guarded He Hongling behind him and asked He Yushui to look after her. At the same time, he looked at the members of the Brotherhood Puppet Society and severely condemned them, "How dare you do such outrageous things? You are directly robbing and arresting people in broad daylight. Even the Japanese army is not as arrogant as you."
"Boy, who are you to be so arrogant? Our brother pseudo-guild is in power nowadays and can arrest anyone we want. This guy is a capitalist and an enemy of the people. You actually interfere in other people's affairs. It seems that you are also an enemy. Come on, arrest this kid." The leading man said with a sneer, and his subordinates immediately began to approach Chen Mu.
"Bang!" Chen Mu hit them one by one, kicked them three times, and in just a few strokes he took care of all the people from the Brother Pseudo Society.
When the captain was about to rush over, he was shocked to see all his men knocked down.
"Boy, you dare to hit our fake society members, you must be a spy! Let's catch him together!" The captain immediately put a hat on Chen Mu.
"Heh." Chen Mu slapped him directly on the face. After a muffled sound, the captain of the pseudo-guild fell to the ground with blood in his mouth and several teeth missing.
"Good fight, well done!" The onlookers around cheered.
More people cheered. These ** brothers and fake organizations bullied people everywhere and did all kinds of evil. Many people suffered and people were in panic.
"You...you dare to hit me, you're such a **!" The captain struggled to get up and roared angrily, but before he could finish his words, Chen Mu stepped heavily back to the ground.
"What are these pseudo-society thugs? They are nothing but a group of bandits, abusing their power and running rampant. The Japanese are not as arrogant as you. Get out of here." Chen Mu scolded loudly and kicked the captain hard in the waist.
The rest of the brothers in the pseudo-guild all stood up and supported their captain.
The captain's face was distorted, and he looked at Chen Mu with hatred, pointing his finger at him and cursing: "Boy, remember, I want you to pay the price, just wait for me."
"Wow..." He Hongling's father, Professor He, fell down weakly and coughed up blood.
"Dad!" He Hongling immediately ran towards her father crying. Seeing this scene, tears welled up in her eyes.
Chen Mu hurried over, checked Professor He's injuries, and became angry.
He had obviously suffered severe violence, with several broken ribs and serious internal injuries.
"Everyone come and help, send the patient back first." Chen Mu ordered.
Many people in the crowd knew Chen Mu and were grateful for his previous help. They all knew that Chen Mu was an excellent doctor.
Everyone worked together to carry Professor He back home.
He's mother had a weak constitution and had been bedridden. When she heard the news, she burst into tears. Such a thing could have happened in the family.
"Brother, how is my dad?" He Hongling burst into tears.
"It's okay, Hongling, your father is not seriously injured. I'll take a look at him and he'll be fine." Chen Mu stroked He Hongling's head and comforted her.
He Hongling nodded in agreement. He Yushui comforted Hongling while Chen Mu took out the silver needle and gave Professor He acupuncture. The neighbors present also began to discuss...
Chen Mu ignored them and first connected Professor He's broken ribs, took out a pill and gave it to him to take, to help him drain the blood. As the blood drained away, Professor He slowly woke up.
"Young man, I... where am I?" Professor He finally saw Chen Mu. He had just been beaten and was in critical condition. He didn't know that Chen Mu had come to his rescue.
If he was arrested directly, he would probably be dead within two days.
"Professor He, you are at home and are not in danger. I have already asked people to evacuate those guys from the pseudo-society." Chen Mu explained.
"Young man, hurry up and leave! They are desperate criminals and will not let a righteous man like you go easily." Professor He urged. He was a professor at the Conservatory of Music, but because of his experience studying abroad, he was targeted by this group of people, and even his home was robbed, and his life fell into chaos and danger. He couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.
"It's okay. These people are vulnerable. You don't have to worry too much." Chen Mu treated He's mother again. Because her home was invaded by robbers, her heart disease, which was not serious to begin with, became worse. He performed acupuncture therapy, left her with heart-tonifying pills, and prescribed a medicine. As long as she rested well, she would be able to recover.
"Brother, I, I have no money. They have taken away all the food in our home. I can't even afford medicine." He Hongling said in a low voice with a little grievance: "I will return the money to you as soon as possible."
Chen Mu touched He Hongling's little head and comforted her, "Don't worry." He put some money in her pocket as an emergency measure and continued, "I also brought back some medicinal herbs. I'll get more for you when I get back."
"Thank you, big brother." He Hongling bowed deeply to Chen Mu to express her gratitude.
"Don't let him escape right there. He must be an enemy spy." Not long after he walked out of the courtyard, Chen Mu heard a commotion. Several members of the Brotherhood Puppet Society and a group of armed bodyguards rushed over.
"It's him, Captain Jiang Yang, hurry up and take down this spy." The people from the pseudo-guild pointed at Chen Mu and shouted.
