Lu Yi, who had instigated the trouble, fell silent and watched their infighting with a smile.
"Hey everyone, when we get there, I'll explain this to you. Please give me a chance to explain. Don't let outsiders sow discord between us."
Du Feng stopped his apprentice. If he were in their shoes, he would feel the same way. He completely understood why they were like this. He glanced at Lu Yi, who was trying not to laugh, and said to the two police officers.
"I think it would be better if we made things clear."
“My brother and I trust you so much, yet you don’t tell us anything. Are you using us as pawns? If something goes wrong, you and your master will completely pin the blame on us.”
The police officer driving pulled over to the side of the road, and the two men told Du Feng what they wanted to say. They had been holding back their anger and couldn't wait to get back to the police station; they had to vent it and wanted Du Feng to give them the truth.
"We're on a mission right now, we'll talk about these things when we get back, let's not waste any time."
Du Feng, who originally felt guilty towards the two, couldn't bear to see them stop the car in front of Lu Yi, making him lose face, and said to them.
"A mission? You're just afraid you won't be able to complete it, and then you won't be able to explain it to the captain."
He tried to pressure the two men with a task, saying he'd talk about it later, but they completely ignored him. They just wanted to know why Du Feng did this, and one of them directly exposed Du Feng's lie.
"I didn't tell you about this. This person is Lu Fan's younger brother, Lu Yi."
Du Feng believes that unless this issue is resolved, the two officers will not drive back, and the longer they wait, the more likely something will go wrong. Therefore, he has no choice but to tell them the truth.
"You think we won't come with you after we hear who he is, right?"
They had already guessed all of this, so they weren't surprised and asked Du Feng.
"That's right, because out of the police force, only the two of you are willing to come with me. Of all the others, only my foolish apprentice is truly willing!"
Du Feng spoke to the two of them with a touch of sadness, and then patted his apprentice's head as he finished speaking.
"Master, no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side."
Sitting to the side, Du Feng's apprentice understood what they were saying and knew that Lu Yi's identity was not simple, but he was still not afraid and looked at Du Feng with firm eyes.
"Hmph, what do you take us for? Even if you had told us beforehand, we would still have come with you."
"What makes us angry is that you didn't tell us about this beforehand. We consider you our best brother, and you kept it from us."
After Du Feng finished speaking, the car continued to move forward, and the two men still spoke to Du Feng with angry expressions.
"I won't do it again next time. I'll treat you both to dinner tonight."
Du Feng realized that the two had forgiven him, and he smiled happily, extending an invitation to them.
"I want to go eat too, Master."
Upon hearing that Du Feng was going to treat everyone to a meal, Du Feng's apprentice excitedly told Du Feng.
"Of course, you guys are my best brothers in the police force."
When he heard that his apprentice also wanted to go, Du Feng naturally agreed. Since his apprentice had followed him, they had never had a proper meal together.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
"We're going to eat him out of house and home tonight."
"Finally, we can have a good treat."
The atmosphere returned to normal, and the three of them chatted and laughed again, discussing what to eat for dinner.
"Have you considered my feelings?"
After listening to the group talk for a while, Lu Yi felt ignored and said to them with a bit of helplessness.
"You'd better just behave yourself."
Du Feng's apprentice grabbed Lu Yi's hand. Lu Yi's earlier provocation had almost created a rift between them.
Fortunately, the brothers had a good relationship; otherwise, Lu Yi would have succeeded.
"Your brotherhood truly touches me; I'll go back with you."
Lu Yi, who had been listening the whole time, was also quite moved by the brotherhood between the group, and the idea of escaping disappeared from his mind.
What do you mean by that?
Seeing Lu Yi give up resisting, Du Feng was a little confused. The person who was just making a fuss was now taking the initiative to go back with him.
“If I don’t go back with you, your superiors won’t let you off the hook, and you’ll all become cannon fodder. I don’t want you to be implicated because of me, since it’s not just you few who are going to deal with us.”
Seeing Du Feng's puzzled expression, Lu Yi revealed his true thoughts.
"Take off his handcuffs."
Looking into Lu Yi's eyes, Du Feng knew that what the other man said was true, and then he spoke to his apprentice.
Because the person who just handcuffed Lu Yi was his own show-off apprentice.
"Master, what if this is just another trick he's playing?"
Du Feng's apprentice seemed confused and looked at Du Feng to express his concerns.
"Alright, open it for him."
"Your master rarely makes a mistake in judging people."
The other two officers also spoke up, saying that since Lu Yi was in the car, even if he had some trick up his sleeve, he couldn't possibly escape in front of the four of them.
"That's much easier now. Can you tell me who sent me this summons?"
Du Feng's apprentice obediently unlocked Lu Yi's handcuffs. Lu Yi smiled and nodded to Du Feng's apprentice, who angrily turned his head away, not wanting to look at Lu Yi at all. Lu Yi flexed his wrists and asked Du Feng with some confusion.
"It's alright to tell you. Yesterday, we arrested some people involved in a fight. The one who was beaten claimed that you led the attack, but there's no evidence. We just summoned you to understand the situation. If there are no problems, we'll release you."
Du Feng looked at Lu Yi and thought for a moment. Since Lu Yi had already cooperated and returned to the police station, there was no need to hide it. He then said to Lu Yi.
"That's not what I meant. I meant, who in your police station issued the summons? Or who ordered me to be summoned?"
Lu Yi was clearly dissatisfied with Du Feng's answer.
Since Du Feng was willing to speak, it meant there was still more to talk about, so we continued to press Du Feng for answers.
"We were right in this matter."
"Shut up! Didn't I tell you to shut your mouth? If you can't, I'll sew your mouth shut!"
When Lu Yi asked about this, Du Feng didn't want to answer at all, knowing that Lu Yi was trying to trick him into revealing information.
Just as Du Feng turned his head, his silly apprentice excitedly blurted out...
But before he could finish speaking, Du Feng heard his apprentice speak up, and he quickly reprimanded him.
I interrupted him from continuing.
