Judging from this, Inspector Song Ke had no intention of showing Song Mengmeng any leniency.
Not only did he not give Song Mengmeng any face, but he also didn't intend to give Hu Yue, who came over after hearing the news, any face. He simply waved his hand and was about to have his men come up and take Song Mengmeng away.
However, Hu Yue's attitude was much more resolute than he had imagined. She stepped in front of Song Mengmeng, her demeanor unwavering as she faced Song Ke: "Inspector Song, don't forget, I'm the one in charge of this case!"
Your overstepping of authority is also against the rules!
Song Mengmeng didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, but Song Ke was perfectly clear to her. Song Ke was a disciple of the Maoshan Sect, and moreover, the direct descendant of the sect leader!
Because of Lin Songzi's previous meddling, the Maoshan Sect's status within the entire Chinese Taoist community has plummeted.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal for him to feel repulsed and resistant towards Song Mengmeng!
Hu Yue hadn't expected him to be so blatant and shameless in taking advantage of her, even using his position to settle personal scores with such brazenness, which made her unable to tolerate it any longer.
Anyway, this isn't the first time she's had a conflict with Song Ke!
Originally, because the two factions were always at odds, they had been constantly fighting each other, both openly and secretly!
Before Song Ke could say anything more, he saw a group of men in black, whose imposing presence was no less than his own, escorting an old acquaintance carrying a briefcase as they walked over.
"Excuse me for disturbing you, but I am Gu Qi, the legal counsel for Di Shi. I am in charge of all matters concerning my client, Ms. Song, here. May I ask what issues Ms. Song has that require you to take her back for investigation?"
Gu Qi's smile didn't reach his eyes, but his words immediately put Song Ke to his knees.
“I know Inspector Song has a special status, but no matter how special the status, one should still abide by the rules and act according to regulations! If you want to arrest someone, you should have evidence. If you want to take my client away without evidence, it seems a bit hasty!”
When Gu Qi gets serious, he handles things with absolute decisiveness. He barely gave Song Ke a chance to speak again before having Hu Da take Song Mengmeng away.
"Legal advisor?" Hu Yue frowned, feeling that the man in front of her looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place him.
“Yes, so if you need anything, you can contact me directly.” Gu Qi said, taking out his business cards and handing them over. He gave one to Hu Yue and the other to Song Ke, who was silent and had an extremely sour expression.
Having come this far, Song Ke was well aware that there was no point in continuing the argument. He took Gu Qi's business card, and without saying another word, turned and left with his men.
Watching Song Ke leave, Gu Qi's smile became noticeably more genuine when facing Hu Yue: "Inspector Hu, is there anything else? If not, I'll head back now."
"Have I seen you before?!" Hu Yue frowned, searching her memory carefully, but still couldn't find any information about Gu Qi. Yet, she felt that this person looked very familiar.
"Perhaps we've met before?" Gu Qi sized up Hu Yue, his attitude distant yet polite. "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now?"
Hu Yue responded with an "oh" and nodded.
Gu Qi nodded slightly, then turned around and left with his entourage.
Have you seen it before?!
Of course I've seen it!
only……
I never expected that after so much time, this cub would still remember!
"Hu Da, you seem to be driving a little fast today!" Song Mengmeng, sitting in the passenger seat, keenly sensed the change in Hu Da's attitude beside her.
She looked extremely nervous, as if something terrifying was chasing her from behind!
That's why Song Mengmeng was somewhat curious.
There must be very few beings in this world that can frighten a great demon like Hu Da!
But judging from her appearance, it seemed as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was chasing her...
Isn't that a bit too much?!
"...Do you know anything about Gu Qi's background?!" Hu Da glanced at Song Mengmeng, somewhat speechless. Did the big boss really not know why she was driving so fast?!
Indeed, she is the legendary great demon who disrupted the order of several countries!
However, compared to races like Qiongqi, Pixiu, and Taotie, which originated at the beginning of time, there is still a great gap between her and other demons!
"I know! He's a friend of the Emperor of Hell. I've met him a few times before! He seems to have a pretty good personality." Song Mengmeng tilted her head and recalled, naturally expressing her impression of Gu Qi. Unexpectedly, she received an impolite eye roll from Hu Da next to her.
"Yes, that's because you are a Pixiu! And Yama is a Taotie! That's why you see Qiongqi treat you very well and has a good personality!"
But have you ever seen a lion be gentle and kind to a rabbit?!
“But you’re not a rabbit either!” Song Mengmeng giggled, correcting Hu Da with a hint of mischief. “Besides, you don’t need to be so nervous!”
Although Qiongqi is a ferocious beast, there is still the Heavenly Dao in this world. It should still be subject to certain restrictions and should not indiscriminately harm the living beings of this world!
Forget it!
Hu Da silently complained in her heart.
If the Heavenly Dao were still useful, then the Yama Emperor would have no place here!
So, even Heaven had no other choice but to drag this adorable little cutie over to fill the hole?!
The person in front of them is clearly unaware of this!
Considering the extent to which the powerful figure behind her protected this young man, Hu Da wisely refrained from saying anything further. The more she said, the more mistakes she might make; it was safer for her to just drive obediently and do her job well!
“However, that Song Ke is a bit strange.” Song Mengmeng peeled open the wrapper of a lollipop, her eyes narrowing with satisfaction because it was her favorite sweet orange flavor, before continuing, “He carries bad karma!”
"Tsk, most of those people in the Xuanmen sect are hypocrites who put on a righteous facade! They can spout one set of grand principles after another, but in reality, very few of them actually do anything worthwhile!"
Hu Da has never had a good impression of the Xuanmen sect!
The person who established the rules of the Xuanmen sect is no more! And the Xuanmen sect that he once insisted on preserving has long since forgotten its original purpose with his demise, becoming a battlefield for intrigue and backstabbing between major factions...
I wonder if the person who once so confidently declared, "If I cannot protect one person, how can I protect the world?" will regret it so much that he'll turn his coffin upside down after learning that the world has developed into what it is today, once he has sacrificed himself for his cause!
[Can you tell who the new couple is yet? Hahahaha~]
