Chapter 379: Holy Madman, Filial Piety
Li Shang wanted to reject Feng Mu with his remaining sanity, but his whole soul would not allow him to say no.
Feng Mu has given so much. His sincerity in friendship should not be desecrated by myself.
Even if Feng Mu might be a madman, he is also a...holy madman!!!
"Feng Mu, I admire your attitude towards friendship. I really want to be friends with you, but..."
Li Shang spoke with difficulty, his tone measured and tactful: "It's just that your father is Feng Ju, and the relationship between your father and I is not satisfactory."
Feng Mu did not show any surprise. His eyes were calm and deep, like a deep pool that could accommodate all waves.
"Yes, I know."
Feng Mu nodded gently, still with a faint smile on his face, "You and my father are competitors in the competition for the next chief of the police station."
Li Shang couldn't help but tense up, but Feng Mu's next words surprised him greatly.
"But don't worry, Captain Li,"
Feng Mu smiled slightly, and said frankly:
"My intentions are pure, and I have absolutely no intention of asking Captain Li to withdraw from the competition."
He paused, as if leaving a space for thought, and then his tone became meaningful:
"On the contrary, I hope Captain Li can take that position more than my father."
Li Shang was stunned and looked at Feng Mu in confusion.
Feng Mu's black and white eyes looked straight into Li Shang's golden pupils, and he smiled and said, "Blood ties are imposed by fate, but friends are chosen by oneself. So, in my eyes, friendship is far more precious than family ties."
Li Shang's mouth opened into an O shape, as if a gold coin was stuffed in it. He savored the words carefully and had to admit that there was some twisted truth in them.
Of course, just a few words were not enough to dispel Li Shang's doubts.
Feng Mu seemed to see his hesitation, and changed his tone and continued:
"So, when I go home for dinner tomorrow, I will persuade my father to give up the idea of continuing to compete for the position of Chief of the Police Station."
Li Shang stared at Feng Mu in a daze, and for a moment he almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Feng Mu didn't wait for him to ask, and he sighed meaningfully:
"I know my father. He doesn't have any talent, but he has a very high ambition. He always wants to reach the sky in one step, so he always likes to take risks and do some crazy things."
Li Shang stared at Feng Mu with twinkling eyes, waiting for his next words.
Feng Mu narrowed his eyes, as if he was caught up in some bad memories, and smiled bitterly:
"He had taken a risk before and nearly lost his life on the spot, but luckily he survived and became disabled."
Feng Mu's voice carried a hint of restraint, as if he was trying to suppress the complex feelings in his heart.
"I do feel sorry for him,"
Feng Mu continued, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
“But to be honest, deep down I think this might be a good thing.
Losing an arm should be able to put out the unrealistic ambition in my father's heart. At the very least, it can make him settle down, stay at home honestly, and live a peaceful life. "
Feng Mu paused, shook his head slightly, and the bitter smile on his face deepened: "But who would have thought that my father would be equipped with a mechanical arm and even promoted to captain."
Li Shang frowned slightly, his attention attracted by Feng Mu's words.
Feng Mu's voice became even deeper, with a hint of calm sadness in his tone:
"This change has rekindled the fire in my father's heart.
No, it was not just rekindled, but it burned even more vigorously and fiercely. He was no longer satisfied with the status quo and even began to covet the position of Chief of the Police Station. "
Feng Mu raised his eyes and looked at Li Shang. His gaze was calm but contained an indescribable heaviness:
"My father has been blinded by ambition and has lost his mind. He is completely immersed in his crazy ambition and has forgotten the lesson of the broken arm."
Feng Mu paused, as if considering how to express his thoughts in the most accurate language.
After a moment, he whispered, "But I know that the more tempting something is, the more dangerous it is. The appreciation of a great man is the most dangerous gift in the world."
"The more you gain, the more you will lose in the future. The higher you climb, the harder you will fall when you fall."
Feng Mu's voice became calmer and calmer, but every word seemed to hit Li Shang's heart heavily.
"Last time, he lost an arm. But if it happens again... I'm afraid he won't be able to save his life."

Feng Mu lowered his eyes slightly, with a complex expression in his eyes: "Not only that, he might also drag the whole family into an abyss of no return."
Feng Mu tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers, and his words were filled with a resolute calmness:
"So, no matter if he blames me or not, or even if he hates me or not, I will stop him. I will interrupt his path to success and completely put out the fire in his heart."
Feng Mu raised his head and his eyes met Li Shang's again.
His eyes were clear, fierce and firm, and there was no room for hesitation between each word:
"But, Captain Li, you are different. You are a person of extraordinary talent. The position of Chief of the Patrol Office belongs to you. This is good for you, for me, for our whole family, and for Feng Ju!"
Feng Mu's voice became more sincere, and his eyes revealed an almost paranoid determination:
"Whether you believe it or not, these words come from my heart."
Li Shang was stunned. He looked at the ruthlessness on Feng Mu's face and shuddered in his heart. He was deeply impressed by his filial piety to Feng Ju.
"It's a pity that Feng Ju may not understand your filial piety. Alas, it's really hard for you."
Feng Mu took a deep breath and showed a compassionate smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, I don't need his understanding. I do all this just for my family to live in peace."
Feng Mu paused and extended his right hand to Li Shang in friendship: "So, Captain Li, please make sure to take the position of Chief of the Patrol Office."
Li Shang looked at the outstretched hand, with complicated emotions surging in his heart.
Finally, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and held Feng Mu's tightly, and agreed solemnly: "Okay!"
Dong-dong-dong-dong
A heavy knock on the door came at an untimely moment, interrupting the solemn and sacred moment of friendship between the two.
Li Shang's expression changed slightly, and he guessed that Chang Erbing had brought people over.
Li Shang's cheeks twitched slightly, and he forced an awkward smile: "Sit down for a moment, I'll go open the door."
Feng Mu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
After saying that, Li Shang quickly covered the box tightly, walked quickly to the door, opened it, and the person he saw was not Chang Erbing, but... (End of this chapter)
