Half an hour later.
Chen Feng dropped Lin Zu in the city center, then drove straight to the Municipal Bureau.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Municipal Bureau.
He parked his supercar by the roadside and walked directly into the Municipal Bureau building.
A few minutes later.
Xu Lang arrived in a hurry with Director Huo Lin of the Municipal Bureau.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries.
Director Huo Lin looked at Chen Feng and said directly, “Mr. Chen, I won’t beat around the bush. We originally planned to discuss the promotional video with Director Lao Mouzi.”
“He was straightforward, just one sentence.”
“As long as you serve as the image character in the promotional video, he will take on the director’s job for the promotional video.”
“So, we came to you.”
“I also heard from Xu Lang that you were very concerned about being slandered across the entire internet before, but that situation has now disappeared.”
“The internet is very clean.”
“Although your topic popularity is even higher, everyone is discussing your cooperation with the 909 Institute project.”
“Therefore, you don’t need to feel burdened.”
“Since we came to you, we were prepared for this.”
“What do you say?”
Chen Feng blinked, not speaking.
But he was somewhat surprised.
Because of the Wallenberg Consortium incident, some people in the Beijing Circle publicly announced a ban on him.
Before the New Year, there were countless negative comments about him online.
Some even threatened Lin Zu and Lin Qingqing.
This shows that the identity of this mysterious ‘Beijing Circle big shot’ is also extraordinary.
Chen Feng had actually suspected Director Lao Mouzi.
After all, he was also a ‘Beijing Circle big shot’.
But now, it seemed it had nothing to do with him.
He actually admired him greatly.
He even actively recommended himself to the Yanjing City Municipal Bureau police.
Chen Feng sighed inwardly.
Not all artists would bow down to capital.
Since that’s the case, why hesitate?
Chen Feng simply nodded, “Director Huo, I have no problem. As long as the country needs me, I will cooperate at any time. Even going to the battlefield is fine.”
“Haha.”
Director Huo Lin laughed, “Young man, you’re very straightforward. Going to the battlefield certainly won’t be your turn; you just need to show the spirit that police officers should have.”
“No problem, I guarantee I’ll complete the mission.”
Chen Feng suddenly stood at attention, saluting casually.
His image stunned Director Huo Lin.
Huh?
This salute was too standard.
It was even more standard than many regular police officers’ salutes.
Moreover, his posture was so upright, more imposing than even those newly graduated junior officers.
Director Huo Lin was surprised.
He didn’t expect Chen Feng to really have this quality.
How could he know that Chen Feng had suddenly adopted the role of a police officer, naturally resulting in such a standard demeanor?
Thus, both parties had no objections.
They signed the cooperation agreement that same afternoon.
Unfortunately, when the agreement was signed, Chen Feng did not hear the system’s prompt.
Therefore, playing this kind of promotional video role was still within the scope of a police officer, and no new roles were added.
Chen Feng didn’t care.
One must know, even if no money was given, Chen Feng would not hesitate to film such a promotional video voluntarily.
This was a belief.
…
Around four in the afternoon.
All procedures were completed.
And a video call was made with Director Lao Mouzi on site to confirm the promotional video director’s job.
During the call, Chen Feng also communicated with Director Lao Mouzi.
Director Lao Mouzi looked very happy.
So, he truly admired Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was also very relieved.
At least this great director he admired was not a puppet controlled by capital and had not participated in the efforts to ban him.
After finishing these matters, Director Huo Lin left in a hurry.
Xu Lang, representing the police, personally escorted Chen Feng out of the Municipal Bureau building.
Downstairs.
As the two were about to bid each other farewell, a group of people suddenly walked out of the Municipal Bureau building.
The person leading them was none other than Mike Martin.
He was followed by at least a dozen people.
These people escorted him, walking out of the Municipal Bureau building with an imposing aura.
Xu Lang’s originally smiling face instantly darkened.
He unconsciously let out a cold snort.
Chen Feng glanced at Mike Martin and casually asked, “Xu Team, isn’t that Mike Martin from Kang Si Tan Group? Did he commit a crime?”
Xu Lang turned to look at Chen Feng, “You know him?”
“Not really, I know of him.”
Chen Feng said indifferently, “I saw him in Jiangnan City during the final competition of ‘What is an Actor’. He seems to be very familiar with Xu Nuo.”
“Hmph.”
Xu Lang said in a low voice with a cold face, “Imperialism never gives up on destroying us. These people may seem glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are all scoundrels. If not for insufficient evidence, I would suppress him right now.”
Chen Feng: “…”
Insufficient evidence?
Were the files he anonymously sent not enough?
This only showed how terrifying the power of the Wallenberg Consortium was.
As expected of a super consortium that could be compared to Rockefeller and Morgan.
At this moment, Mike Martin and the others also came out.
The blonde foreigner almost immediately saw Chen Feng, and when he found him standing with Xu Lang, his brows instantly furrowed.
What’s going on?
Is Chen Feng so close to the Municipal Bureau’s criminal investigation team leader?
Mike Martin had already heard some conjectures from the arrested Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo and Qiao San’s arrest was Chen Feng’s doing.
Although no one knew how Chen Feng got Xu Nuo’s leverage, it definitely had something to do with him.
Now, Chen Feng was with Xu Lang again.
Mike Martin linked this to his company being robbed, confidential documents stolen, and at the same time, the ink jade orchid also stolen, with the documents even obtained by the police.
All of this made him inevitably suspect Chen Feng.
Most importantly, Chen Feng had the blood cloth in his possession.
If he knew the secret of the Outer Eight Sects, then his theft of the ink jade orchid would have a reason.
According to Wu Di, the Dao Sect expert who was silenced had no ability to steal the ink jade orchid, so the true expert was someone else.
Could it be Chen Feng?
Did he take the ink jade orchid, then the confidential documents, and report it to the police?
Mike Martin grew suspicious.
Then he actually strode over.
The bodyguards and his lawyer behind him followed closely.
Xu Lang’s face was cold.
Chen Feng, however, had a calm expression.
After Mike Martin approached, he looked at Chen Feng and said coldly in fluent Chinese, “Was it you?”
Chen Feng looked at him indifferently, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Mike Martin: “Chen Feng, if I find out it was you…”
“What are you doing?”
Xu Lang suddenly blocked Chen Feng, looking at Mike Martin and saying sternly, “Mr. Mike, do you take me for air? You are openly threatening others in front of me?”
Mike Martin squinted at Xu Lang, “Captain Xu, if you have a problem, talk to my lawyer.”
Xu Lang let out a cold snort.
At this moment, Chen Feng reached out and pulled Xu Lang aside, looking at Mike Martin with a faint smile, “Mr. Mike, even a Bodhisattva knows to gild themselves before saving sentient beings. What, do you still not know how to hide your true nature as an Eight-Nation Alliance? Do you think China is still what it used to be? That you can do whatever you want?”
Mike Martin’s face instantly became ferocious.
Veins protruded on his forehead.
He stared intently at Chen Feng, muttering, “Fuck!”
The bodyguards behind him swarmed forward, completely disregarding that this was downstairs at the Municipal Bureau building, even ignoring Xu Lang, the criminal investigation team leader beside Chen Feng.
Arrogant.
Extremely arrogant.
Just as Xu Lang was about to intervene forcefully, Chen Feng unexpectedly walked slowly towards Mike Martin, not retreating but advancing, closing in little by little.
At this moment, he had already adopted the role of a crime boss.
His gaze carried a chilling malice and ruthlessness.
Mike Martin was stunned.
Holy shit!
This gaze… could a bit-part actor possess it?
