Chapter 1149 A Talkative Friend (1)

Before Mu Sijue could answer, Lu Boyan’s mobile phone buzzed again.

The screen showed that someone was calling him.

This person’s phone number was very important for now.

“I’m a bit busy, and I’ll call you later.”

After that, Lu Boyan hung up the call with Mu Sijue and picked up the call that had been put on wait.

“Boss Lu, it’s been a while.” A young man’s teasing voice came from the phone. “Were you calling Mu Qi?”

“That’s none of your business.” Lu Boyan asked directly, “What do you want to tell me?”

“I just came back from abroad. I didn’t want to tell you such a serious thing, but my father sent me to take charge of your case. I have no choice! He pressured me!”

Next, the young man complained about his father and even suspected that he was not his biological son. He always had an impulse to do a paternity test.

Finally, he asked Lu Boyan, “Is doing a paternity test considered an unfilial act?”

Lu Boyan rubbed his temples and kept telling himself that he had to be patient with Bai Tang, who was naturally talkative.

It turned out that Lu Boyan overestimated his patience and underestimated Bai Tang’s talkative character.

As Bai Tang spoke, he gradually rambled and began to talk about what if he was not his father’s biological son. Would he laugh or cry about it?

Also, could he change his ridiculous name if he wasn’t his father’s son?

Lu Boyan pressed his temples harder and interrupted Bai Tang coldly. “Get to the point.”

“The point?” Bai Tang was stunned. “Oh, didn’t I say that my father sent me to be in charge of your case?”

Lu Boyan was speechless.

In Lu Boyan’s eyes, that was not the point at all.

Bai Tang was Chief Tang’s son.

Chief Tang was the chief of the City A Police Department.

More than a decade ago, Chief Tang and Lu Boyan’s father were very good friends. It was also because of this friendship that when Lu Boyan’s father was in trouble, Chief Tang was not in charge of his case.

After Lu Boyan returned to the country, he came to Chief Tang and told him that his father was murdered back then. The real murderer was not the driver surnamed Hong, but Kang Ruicheng.

In addition, Lu Boyan told Chief Tang that one of his purposes for his returning was to reinvestigate his father’s case and bring Kang Ruicheng to justice.

Chief Tang also told Lu Boyan that he had been secretly investigating the case of Lu Boyan’s father and found something fishy, but it was not enough to be evidence to reverse the case.

From then on, Lu Boyan and Chief Tang had been secretly cooperating.

Of course, their cooperation was limited to reinvestigating the case of Lu Boyan’s father, and it was not related to any interests.

Bai Tang was the youngest son of Chief Tang. After graduating from the police academy, he was sent abroad by Chief Tang to study. He was quite familiar with Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue, but because of his identity, he did not intervene in any of their affairs.

After graduation, Bai Tang’s mind was full of how to get rid of his family’s control. On the spur of the moment, he established a studio in country A and became a private detective.

After working as a private detective for several years, Bai Tang was finally tired of that kind of work that was not challenging at all. He collected himself and returned to the country.

Bai Tang didn’t tell his family about his return.

He planned to return home for a few days and hang out with his good friends. When he got tired of it, he would go home and give his father a surprise.

He had never expected that he would be surrounded by his father’s private guards as soon as he got off the plane.

A few plain-clothes policemen dragged him home and dropped him in front of Old Mr. Tang.

The old man said that he wanted to set up a task force to investigate a case and wanted to hand over the force to Bai Tang.

Bai Tang was well aware that he would have to obey his father’s orders after returning to the country,

However, if he was assigned to leading a task force, he could barely accept it.

“Okay!” Bai Tang pulled over a stool and sat face-to-face with Chief Tang. He looked greatly interested. “Dad, how many people are there in my task force? And, whose case will I be in charge of?”

Chief Tang told Bai Tang about Lu Boyan’s father’s case and Kang Ruicheng’s background.

In the end, he said, “As the police, we will cooperate with Boyan to secretly investigate Kang Ruicheng. As the person in charge of the task force, your main job is to contact Boyan for information. The task force’s affairs will not be open to the public for the time being, and you don’t have to report to the police station for work. Contact me by phone or at home.”

Bai Tang hated being a policeman, so he didn’t want to return home after graduation. He would rather be a private detective in country A.

He didn’t need to go to the police station. It was just what he wanted.

Bai Tang’s expectations rose sharply and he said, “Even if I don’t have to go to the police station to work, we are still a task force. There must be a secret office, right? Otherwise, how am I supposed to manage my team?”

Chief Tang patted Bai Tang on the shoulder. “Bai Tang, you just need to manage yourself.”

“Huh?” Young Master Bai looked confused. “Dad, what do you mean?”

Chief Tang then slowly revealed the truth. “Bai Tang, you have no teammates in your task force.”

Bai Tang was speechless.

He felt insulted.

After all, he had graduated from one of the top police schools in the country and continued his criminal investigation major for several years.

Did his father have to treat him like this?

Bai Tang immediately turned hostile. “I quit!”

Chief Tang did not talk much about the major principles with Bai Tang but just talked to him calmly. “Boy, this case is related to the truth of your Uncle Lu’s case, as well as Boyan’s future life. I am worried about handing it over to someone else. You are the only and most suitable candidate.”

Bai Tang thought for a moment. His tone grew softer, but he was still unwilling to compromise. He deliberately asked, “Dad, do you know that you are sacrificing me as your son?”

Chief Tang said justly, “I’ve selected the most suitable candidate.”

Bai Tang had nothing to say in reply.

He had to admit that his father had really found a good excuse.

“What’s more-” Chief Tang calmly aroused Bai Tang’s fighting spirit. “Don’t you think this is a great challenge? Kang Ruicheng is someone that even the international criminal police have been investigating.”

“Oh?” Young Master Bai looked like he didn’t believe it. “Is this Kang Ruicheng very powerful?”

“The international criminal police have been investigating him for many years, but he can still be the executive president of the Su Group openly. Do you think this person is powerful?”

Chief Tang admitted that he deliberately did not answer Bai Tang’s question directly.

He knew that this was the easiest way to arouse Bai Tang’s fighting spirit.

As expected, Bai Tang was lost in thought.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said, “I’ll take this case!” Challenging a villain was his favorite thing to do.

Chief Tang nodded with satisfaction and then told Bai Tang about the grievances between Mu Sijue and Kang Ruicheng. Of course, he did not miss the entanglement between Mu Sijue and Xu Youning.

“What?” Bai Tang found it incredible. “How can someone like Mu Sijue fall in love with a woman? Damn it, Cupid must have missed his shot!”

“Mu Sijue is such a workaholic. I thought that he was destined to be alone for the rest of his life!

“However, a person like him is in love?

“That’s so unfair. Why hasn’t my love come to me yet?”

Although Bai Tang was sulky, he was very efficient. He began to pay attention to Kang Ruicheng’s movements that day.

Then, he found out that Kang Ruicheng had received an invitation letter to the banquet. Of course, he also noticed the requirement of bringing a female companion.

According to Chief Tang, Kang Ruicheng was wooing Xu Youning.

At this time, as long as Kang Ruicheng was not out of his mind, he would definitely take Xu Youning to the banquet, wouldn’t he?

If Bai Tang could think of this, then Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue could also think of this.

According to Mu Sijue’s style, he would most likely set off a bloody storm at the banquet.

However, it would not be the right time for him to do that.

Therefore, when Bai Tang hurriedly called Lu Boyan, he found that Lu Boyan’s phone was busy.

He was sure that it had to be Mu Sijue who was calling Lu Boyan.

Chief Tang had already told Lu Boyan that Bai Tang would assist him in the investigation of Kang Ruicheng.

After receiving Bai Tang’s call, Lu Boyan wanted him to get to the point. He did not want Bai Tang to repeat what he already knew. Instead, he wanted to know the purpose of Bai Tang’s call.

Bai Tang didn’t hear Lu Boyan speak for a long time, and he couldn’t help asking, “Hasn’t my dad told you that I’m in charge of your case?”

“Chief Tang has told me about it.” Lu Boyan asked coldly, “What are you calling me for?”

“I already know that Kang Ruicheng is going to attend the banquet.” Bai Tang said, “And I guess Mu Qi also knows, doesn’t he?”

After a while, he still got to the point.

Mu Sijue knew that Kang Ruicheng would attend the banquet, so Lu Boyan did not hide it. Instead, he asked, “Is there a problem with that?”

“Yes, and it’s a big problem!” Bai Tang almost jumped up. “Mu Qi will definitely take action at the banquet, won’t he?

Lu Boyan didn’t have any clue about this matter, so he didn’t dare to make a rash conclusion.

Lu Boyan tentatively asked Bai Tang, “What are you going to do if Mu Qi takes action for real?”

“My god. I’ll have to stop him, of course!” Bai Tang felt worried. “Everything that happens at the banquet will be exposed by the media. If Mu Qi wants to stir up any trouble, it will not be as simple as being exposed by the media. The Public Security Department will intervene and investigate! Regardless of whether Mu Sijue can save Xu Youning or not, his action will have a great impact on the image of City A.”

Lu Boyan paused and asked, “Do you mean that Sijue can’t do it?”

“It’s not that he can’t, but he can’t do it at this time!” Bai Tang said earnestly, “The image of City A is not the most important. What matters the most is that once this operation fails, it will directly pose a threat to Xu Youning’s safety. Boyan, tell Mu Qi that this is not a joke.”

Lu Boyan had considered what Bai Tang just said, and Mu Sijue must have thought of it as well.

However, it would be Mu Sijue who made the final decision.

Lu Boyan just said, “I’ll talk to Sijue.”

“Thank you for doing that.” Bai Tang’s tone suddenly became particularly sincere. “Boyan, please take care of the safety of the entire City A on the day of the banquet!”

Lu Boyan did not say anything more and hung up the phone.

Su Jian’an listened to Lu Boyan’s phone call from the beginning to the end, but she couldn’t understand what he was talking about, nor did she know the one he mentioned.

“Bai Tang? Who’s that?

“How come I don’t know that Boyan and Sijue have this friend?

“And that person sounds talkative. It’s surprising that Boyan and Sijue, that indifferent guy, make friends with such a talkative guy.”
