Chapter 969 986: So It Was the Old Man
"If you keep making a fuss like this, things will definitely get out of hand. Let's calm down and have a proper discussion, okay?" Xiong Jian tried to change his old man's attitude.Xiong Jian Country ignored Xiong Jian and instead said to the soldiers behind him, "What are you standing around for? Move out!"
"Yes!"
Soon, a group of soldiers, armed and ready, moved forward. The twenty soldiers Xiong Jian had brought seemed outnumbered and quickly couldn't hold their ground. Just then, suddenly, bang, bang, bang! The sound of a submachine gun pierced through the night sky!
"Everyone ****** stop!" Xiong Jian shouted with bloodshot eyes.
The scene immediately froze, and everyone turned their eyes towards Xiong Jian!
"If anyone dares to move again, don't blame me for being rude!" Xiong Jian said coldly.
People looked at Xiong Jian and indeed did not make another move, because everyone could see that Xiong Jian was not joking!
Lin Mu stood behind, shaking his head helplessly, "Damn, this brother-in-law is really risking it for himself, it's making me feel a bit embarrassed!"
With that, the scene quieted down immediately, and Xiong Jian Country glared at Xiong Jian with a very displeased look. At this point, it seemed Xiong Jian Country was not only angry because of Lin Mu, but primarily because of Xiong Jian's behavior! Just at this moment, another soldier quietly got out of a Land Rover and whispered a few words next to Commander Xiong.
After hearing this, Xiong Jian Country frowned even deeper, "Are you sure?"
The soldier nodded, "Yes, sure!"
"Alright!" Xiong Jian Country nodded and then glared at Xiong Jian, "I'll deal with you when you get home!"
After saying this, Xiong Jian Country turned around and got in the car, and the others also returned to their cars.
"Earth Wolf, hurry, inform the people below to clear a way for Commander Xiong to go home!" Lin Mu grinned and said.
"Got it, boss, I'll inform them right away!" Earth Wolf nodded and then called the responsible leaders of the various subgroups on the road.
So the originally tense situation began to relax slowly, and people started to disperse. The people standing on the road made way. Although the scene looked chaotic, it was actually very organized, with a leader in every group directing on site. Earth's Wolf only had to make one call, and the orders would trickle down level by level.
The people from Flying Dragon Group made a path, a few military trucks successively followed Xiong Jian Country's car and drove out of the Foot Bath Pavilion, and watching his old man leave, Xiong Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, Brother Xiong, I really owe you one this time!" Lin Mu walked up and patted Xiong Jian on the shoulder.
Lin Mu knew that the situation just now was actually quite difficult for Xiong Jian, having to confront his commanding officer old man in front of so many people, which indeed required a certain amount of courage, especially since Xiong Jian was a professional soldier.
Xiong Jian glared at Lin Mu, "Damn, you're acting all nonchalant now, huh!"
"Uh..." Lin Mu grinned, "It's nothing, I just managed to avoid a disaster thanks to you, my great benefactor!"
"Alright, at least it's over now, but you still need to be careful!" Xiong Jian took a deep breath, as it was also a challenge for him just now.
"Brother Xiong, will the old man be mad about today's events when you get home?" Lin Mu asked.
"No, actually, my dad also knows that this approach is not appropriate, but he is a traditional military man of the older generation, especially being a commander, can't act like ordinary soldiers, so you got to understand the old man!" Xiong Jian patted Lin Mu's shoulder.
"Got it, how can I blame the old man, he said it's orders from above, he just follows orders. I've served in the military too, so I understand the hardships of being a soldier. But Brother Xiong, you have quite the audacity to defy the commander's orders!" Lin Mu grinned, joking again.
"Damn, you brat are getting cocky, huh? If I had known, I wouldn't have helped you!" Xiong Jian scolded Lin Mu. Things were finally calming down, and everyone relaxed. Although there was no guarantee the Liu Family wouldn't trouble Lin Mu again, at least not for now, and likely Elder Xiong wouldn't give him a hard time either.
"Hey, Brother Xiong, how about we grab a meal? I should show some gratitude for your help, right?" Lin Mu smiled and said.
"Damn, you think one meal can compensate me?"
"Uh... No way, with our brotherly relationship, we wouldn't be so formal, right, brother-in-law!" Lin Mu grinned and put his arm around Xiong Jian's shoulder.
"Don't call me that, it sounds awful! Alright, I have other things to do, as for having drinks, we'll do that when we have time to relax and have a few drinks with you!" Xiong Jian punched Lin Mu's chest lightly.
"Alright then, we'll have a good drink together when we can!" Lin Mu nodded.
"Brothers, let's move out!" Xiong Jian waved his hand and left the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion with his more than twenty impressive special forces soldiers.
Lin Mu watched Xiong Jian's back and felt quite touched, but of course, he wasn't worried about Xiong Jian being in trouble. After all, Xiong Jian Country was his biological father, so in this matter, the most that would happen is that his old man would give him an ear-bashing at home, there would be no military penalties, let alone any dismissal or investigation. Moreover, with Xiong Jian's outstanding capabilities as a leading figure in the Wancheng Military Sub-Region and his repeated significant contributions, such an excellent special forces captain wouldn't easily be removed.
Watching Xiong Jian and his team walk further away, Lin Mu stretched and said, "Alright, brothers, let's go for a drink!"
"Okay, boss!" Gray Wolf grinned, "Which star-rated hotel are we going to?"
"Star my ass, you trying to rip me off? No way, we'll just find a big stall, it's tasty and affordable!" Lin Mu laughed.
"Damn it, boss, you gotta be kidding?" Gray Wolf was utterly speechless. Having lost several thousand to him, totaling over ten thousand between three people, going to eat at a stall? Damn it, eating ten times wouldn't make up for it!
"Damn, you think it's a rip-off? Fine, forget it, I'll go alone!"
"Oh oh, let's go, it's better than nothing, right?" Gray Wolf quickly said with a smile.
So Lin Mu took a few former comrades from Wolf Fang Special Forces to a street food stall, they didn't buy any good cigarettes, just Red Double Happiness, and no good liquor, mere Wuliangye was enough, the food was mainly Cantonese home-style dishes, plus a few plates of seafood, filling up a whole table. The four big guys started eating and chatting away.
"Boss, you say Xiong Jian Country was all high and mighty at first, why did he leave all of a sudden?" Earth Wolf drank some wine and asked.
Lin Mu thought for a moment and grinned, "What do you think?"
"Boss, do you mean, the old man?" Earth Wolf asked with a puzzled face.
