Chapter 871: A Bad Idea to Show Your Face With Government Officials Around

Chen Ming was surprised to see Huo Yulin inside the hall, but he quickly walked up to Huo Changfeng. “Chief Steward, someone from the Ministry of National Security has gone to the Northern branch asking to see you.”

Huo Changfeng was playing with the wooden beads on his wrist when his hands froze as he looked at Chen Ming and narrowed his eyes slightly. “Is the Ministry of National Security sticking their noses into our business?”

“It certainly seems like it. Based on the report, they came with a lot of men and all of them are armed,” said Chen Ming promptly with a serious voice.

However, he was not fl.u.s.tered.

Huo Changfeng stretched his neck before standing up from the main seat. “Come on. Let’s go see them.”

Chen Ming nodded and stood beside Huo Changfeng.

After Huo Yulin heard the conversation between them, he pondered for a couple of seconds before he asked. “Shall I come along?”

Huo Changfeng raised his hand. “It’s fine. Since government officials are around, it is a bad idea to show your face.”

Huo Yulin knew Uncle Changfeng was being considerate since he worked at the research inst.i.tute. He went quiet briefly but did not insist on joining them.

Before long, Huo Changfeng and Chen Ming went to the Northern branch.

After they arrived at the branch office, they discovered that it was encircled by some professional-looking men. Each man had a gun strapped across their chest and the atmosphere felt terribly tense.

When Chen Ming drove the car up to the entrance, those men trained their guns on the car bonnet.

Chen Ming pursed his lips without the slightest change in his expression and seemed accustomed to such situations. He did not get out of the car and simply lowered the car window and said a few words to the man outside.

Before long, the men moved the gun away and the thick iron gates opened to let the car through.

Meanwhile, on the other end.

“Young Master Min, you were involved in illegal weapons sales, so please come with us.”

Zhang Qing was dressed in a special black military uniform as he looked at Min Yu. Despite his courteous tone, it was clear that he was here to cause trouble.

Min Yu leaned against the couch lazily as Zhang Qing demanded to take Min Yu in for investigation. He seemed completely unfazed by the situation.

“Illegal weapons trading? Deputy Director Zhang, you must be joking. Or are you trying to mess with the Weapons Bureau?”

The Weapons Bureau was a very special ent.i.ty. It was jointly established by an alliance of international powers, so it did not work for any specific government. The Weapons Bureau had a long reach and was involved at both the national and private levels.

If anyone wanted to buy weapons privately from the Weapons Bureau, they needed the government’s approval. Without government approval, it was deemed an illegal transaction.

As for the control of private weapons purchases, the government would usually turn a blind eye if they were not buying any unusual weapons which were not too lethal.

Basically, no one could afford to offend the Weapons Bureau.

Zhang Qing had a square face and an imposing aura since he was a high-ranking official. He pursed his lips and said, “Young Master Min, stop using the Weapons Bureau to scare me. We simply need you to follow us so that we can confirm if you were involved in the illegal sale of weapons. After investigating the matter, we can clear your name, right?”

Min Yu put down the teacup nonchalantly and did not respond to Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you think you can skirt the law because of Director Min?”

Min Yu raised his head when he heard this and finally looked at Zhang Qing. His eyes looked deep and profound and seemed piercingly cold. “Do you have a death wish?”
