The next morning, Li Mu, Zhuang Xiaoman, and Zhang Guodong sat at the dining table.
Below Zhang Guodong, there was an empty seat with exquisite breakfast on it.
Li Mu looked at the time and picked up his chopsticks.
"I'm not waiting. Come and eat."
As he spoke, he picked up a youtiao and dipped it in the salty sauce of Shanghai. Then, he took a bite.
The savory sauce made from minced pickled mustard, dried shrimp, chopped green onions, seaweed, and chili had a unique taste.
Li Mu couldn't help but take two more bites. He didn't mention Song Yunpeng.
Life and death were determined by fate, and wealth was determined by heaven. Since he had chosen to do it, he had to bear the consequences. There was no need to say anything more!
Seeing that Li Mu was about to start eating, Zhuang Xiaoman picked up a piece of glutinous rice and ate it in small bites.
Only Zhang Guodong seemed a little absent-minded. Li Mu knew that he was worried about his brother.
Li Mu wanted to open his mouth to comfort him, but before he could open his mouth, a figure ran in from outside. This person was Song Yunpeng.
He ran to Li Mu with sweat all over his forehead, stood at attention, and handed over a document bag.
"Reporting to the team leader, we were a little late because we needed to develop the photos. Please punish us.”
Li Mu took the document bag and looked at Song Yunpeng's body covered in mud and sweat. He smiled gently.
"In the future, just like Guodong, call me boss!”
As he spoke, Li Mu pointed at my empty seat.
"Now sit down and eat."
When Song Yunpeng heard this, he was overjoyed. He used to be a person in Jianghu, and he admired people with ability the most. In his opinion, in the Military Investigation Department, Li Mu was definitely one of the best in terms of ability. Now that Li Mu, who was known as the Demon God of the Military Investigation Department, was his confidant, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
After he sat down, Li Mu picked up a bun for him.
"Eat more. Take a shower later and rest well for the day.”
After saying that, Li Mu was not in a hurry to look at the photos in the folder. Instead, he quietly finished his breakfast and sat on the sofa to look at them.
Li Mu threw away the photos of gold bars and other valuables one by one. It didn't take long for Li Mu to find the photos he wanted.
"See, Xiaoman, I told you. There's definitely something wrong with this old fellow. He's already signed the appointment form.”
As he spoke, Li Mu threw the photo on the table.
Zhuang Xiaoman looked down and saw that it was written on the letter of appointment that Gu Yunshan was appointed as the president of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of Commerce and the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.
Li Mu pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at Zhuang Xiaoman, who was looking at the photo.
"Looks like I was too naive.”
"Then should we kill him?"
Li Mu frowned when he heard Zhuang Xiaoman's words.
"Why do you always want to kill? Think about it. If he can give me a box of gold bars, what about the top?”
"We're here to protect him. It's not worth it to touch him now. Moreover, just this photo alone won't be able to confirm his identity as a traitor!”
"The Prime Minister is in a critical period. Right now, there is a balance between the Department of Protection and the Prime Minister. If we touch Gu Yunshan now, the chain reaction will be incalculable!”
Li Mu stood up and patted the sofa.
"There's only one way now! That was to make sure that he couldn't be a traitor!”
"You can't be a traitor? But he has already signed the letter of appointment. It will be very difficult for him to change his mind, right?"
Li Mu shook his head when he heard Zhuang Xiaoman's words.
"Why should we persuade him? Isn't it better to let him take the initiative to come to us?”
As he spoke, Li Mu called Zhang Guodong and Song Yunpeng over.
"The two of you, go now. I don't care what method you use, but within three days, find out that Gu Yunshan has a grudge with that Japanese man.”
"Understood. We'll go now."
The two of them turned around and left. Li Mu's lips curled up as he looked at Zhuang Xiaoman with a smile.
"Do you know what I want to do?"
Zhuang Xiaoman nodded with a smile and gently put a coat on Li Mu.
"It's almost the same as what I'm going to do, but I'm going to kill Gu Yunshan, and you're going to kill the Japanese!”
Li Mu nodded, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of tea.
"Let me go this time!"
Li Mu was stunned and looked at Zhuang Xiaoman.
Zhuang Xiaoman walked in front of Li Mu, squatted down, and laid her face on Li Mu's knee.
"I know you want to protect me, but I'm not a flower vase. I don't need to protect my hands because they're already stained with blood.”
As she spoke, she raised her head with tears in her eyes.
"I don't want to continue like this. You let me feel the warmth of home. Isn't this cruel to me? I've already lost it once, and I don't want to lose it again.”
Li Mu looked at Zhuang Xiaoman pitifully and patted her shoulder.
"Xiaoman, a home is not meant to be lost, but to be loved. Since you're afraid of losing it, why don't you try to protect it? Think about it."
Li Mu stood up and walked out.
Zhuang Xiaoman, who stayed where she was, looked at Li Mu's back in a daze, her eyes filled with tenderness!
