570 Chapter 570 The Mysterious Man (20)
Liu Tao was slightly stunned when he saw this, but he wasn’t too surprised.
After all, Gu Qingchen had told him before, so Liu Tao had some confidence.
He just didn’t expect that the person who came was his immediate superior.
Liu Tao was from the city, and his superior was from the province.
A higher official!
“You… Why are you here?”
Liu Tao looked at Xia Lingwei. He didn’t expect Xia Lingwei to be here.
Xia Lingwei was a rank higher than Liu Tao. It could be said that Liu Tao should have listened to Xia Lingwei directly.
Xia Lingwei’s face was cold as he glared at him, “Why am I here? You still have the nerve to ask me why I’m Here! You’ve already invited the most important person in city Y. if I don’t come now, wouldn’t city y be turned upside down by you?”
Xia Lingwei’s aura was very strong. In front of him, Liu Tao’s aura was indeed a little weak.
Especially since Xia Lingwei was one level higher than Liu Tao. In the past, when Liu Tao saw Xia Lingwei, he would always lower his attitude.
Therefore, after a long time, he would always have the habit of lowering his head to Xia Lingwei.
“Xia…”Liu Tao had just said one word when he was interrupted by Xia Lingwei.
“Xia what Xia! I don’t have time to teach you a lesson here!”
Xia Lingwei didn’t look at Liu Tao anymore. He walked up to Luo Fengyun and said respectfully, “Master Luo, I’m really sorry that I’m late. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have happened. I hope you can forgive me. I’ll accompany you back now. I’ll explain to the reporters outside. Just say that you are here to inspect the work. What do you think about this arrangement?”
Xia Lingwei was very respectful. Luo Fengyun glanced at Xia Lingwei and nodded at him as a greeting.
“Let’s go. As for the public, just announce that you have found the murderer of Luo Qingyan. I am here to meet the murderer.”
Xia Lingwei was stunned for a moment and nodded. Luo Fengyun was really thoughtful. The reporters would definitely not believe what he said just now.
The news about Luo Fengyun had just been exposed yesterday, and today, Luo Fengyun was brought here by Liu Tao. It would be strange if they used the excuse that Xia Lingwei said.
However, if they used the excuse of Luo Qingyan, the reporters might really believe it.
After all, these people had also heard about Luo Qingyan’s death. Luo Fengyun personally came to meet the murderer of Luo Qingyan. This action would probably make everyone think that Luo Fengyun was an elder who loved his juniors.
Thinking of this, Xia Lingwei could not help but admire Luo Fengyun. He was really thoughtful.
Not only could he solve the problem in front of him, but he could also win a good reputation!
With Luo Fengyun’s scheming, he, Xia Lingwei, should stand on Luo Fengyun’s side.
Or perhaps… Luo Fengyun had something on Xia Lingwei. Once something happened to the Luo family, Xia Lingwei would not be able to escape.
Since that was the case, he could only stand on Luo Fengyun’s side.
Xia Lingwei personally helped Luo Fengyun up. “Old Master Luo, this way please.”
Even though Liu Tao felt like a mouse seeing a cat every time he saw Xia Lingwei, he could not back down this time.
Moreover, wasn’t Gu Qingchen just now? No matter what the situation was, he would stand up for anyone who came.
Since that was the case, Liu Tao would stand up for them.
Just as Xia Lingwei was about to leave with Luo Fengyun, Liu Tao suddenly stood in front of them.
“Wait.”
Liu Tao stopped Xia Lingwei.
Xia Lingwei was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. “Liu Tao! What do you mean by this? You still want to block my way!”
Liu Tao braced himself and did not listen to Xia Lingwei for the first time. “I’m sorry, I Can’t move aside. Luo Fengyun is someone I brought back for interrogation. You Can’t take him away like this.”
Xia Lingwei pursed his lips. His entire being emitted a gloomy aura, and his entire body seemed to be emitting a murderous aura.
Liu Tao had really never seen Xia Lingwei like this before.
Usually, when Xia Lingwei was not angry, he already looked very imposing. Now that he was angry, it was even scarier.
Even though Liu Tao felt that he could not withstand this pressure, he still stood there and did not move a single step.
“HMPH! I’m here, there’s no place for you to speak! Or… Do you want to quit? If you don’t want to do it, I can kick you out right now!”
Xia Lingwei roared angrily. Many of the people around him were shocked and their hearts raced.
Even though Liu Tao’s forehead was already covered in sweat, he still managed to hold it together and even retaliated.
“I’m sorry, I’m doing official business. I think you’d better not let me do official business. That’s right, you’re one rank higher than me. You can suspend me at any time. But now, I’m doing official business. If you want to stop me from handling the case, hehe, that would be hindering official business. I think it’s better for you to think clearly.”
Threat!
A naked threat.
If it was in the past, Liu Tao would definitely not do something like destroying his own future. But now, he had the confidence, and his words were much tougher.
“Hehe! Good, very good! Liu Tao, I think you really think that your wings have grown strong!”
Xia Lingwei’s face was cold. He did not think that Liu Tao would actually dare to stop him.
Liu Tao stood there straight and said, “It’s not that my wings have grown strong, but that I am acting according to the rules. I advise you to act according to the rules as well. Otherwise… I don’t know if you will be the next one to enter this place.”
Domineering!
After Liu Tao said those words, he was cheering himself on in his heart.
This was the first time he could be domineering in front of Xia Lingwei. He had been holding it in for a long time.
Today… he had completely exploded.
“HMPH! Liu Tao, I think you’re really bold. You haven’t even done anything yet, and you’re already planning to pull me down!”
Xia Lingwei spoke very coldly. Liu Tao looked at Xia Lingwei quietly and said, “It’s not that I want to pull you down, but it’s your choice. Do you want to go down or not?”
Xia Lingwei did not even think about what Liu Tao said. He directly said in a tense tone, “Looks like we have to be tough today!”
Xia Lingwei had been talking for a long time, but Liu Tao was stubborn.
Of course, Xia Lingwei did not come here by himself. He also brought a few people with him. Xia Lingwei gave these people a look, and they subconsciously listened to Xia Lingwei’s words.
For a moment, the small interrogation room was bustling with activity. It was very crowded, like a group of people waiting in line for a washroom.
This situation was very interesting.
“Liu Tao, this is the last time I will persuade you. Are you sure you really want to stop me?”
Liu Tao nodded firmly. “I hope you won’t make things difficult for me.”
“Then I’m afraid there’s no way to do it.”
Liu Tao stood there alone and blocked the door.
Just as Xia Lingwei was about to take him away by force…
Another voice appeared.
“Yo, Xia Lingwei, I haven’t seen you for a while, but your temper has improved quite a bit. Now you can even do things that obstruct official business.”
