Chapter 473 472: Pouring Out the Beans

Wan Pengcheng was a bit hesitant. After all, if something happened to Mu Lin, he wouldn't be able to answer for it.

Seeing Lin Jin say so, he hesitantly agreed, "Alright, then. Mr. Mu, you must be extremely careful!"

"It's a trivial matter."

Mu Lin pressed his lips together and turned to leave.

Miao Ya glared at Mu Lin. "Let me tell you something, don't mess this up. If you get our Captain Wan in trouble, I won't let you hear the end of it!"

Wan Pengcheng quickly stopped Miao Ya. Even though he knew she was just looking out for him, he hadn't expected her to be so fiercely protective.

Wan Pengcheng said, "Mu Xiaoyou, to be honest, I don't fully trust you either. But since Mr. Lin trusts you, then go ahead! If you can make that bastard confess, I'll be eternally grateful!"

As Wan Pengcheng spoke, his fists were clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. He was clearly very emotional.

Mu Lin asked, "Captain Wan, you must have seen all sorts of things. Why are you so angry about this one?"

Wan Pengcheng said, "Because that son of a bitch is less than human. That girl's body is covered in injuries, it's a miserable sight... That bastard deliberately tortured her until she was barely recognizable. He's a monster..."

Mu Lin understood how Wan Pengcheng felt. In that moment, they shared the same sentiment.

"Captain Wan, I'll need you to get a strand of hair from that piece of trash."

Wan Pengcheng was confused. 'Why do I need to do that?'

But he didn't say anything and just instructed Miao Ya, "Miao Ya, go to the lab and get a sample."

They had actually already taken hair for sampling when they arrested him. Since he was a repeat offender, they had an especially large reserve of his hair.

Mu Lin took the lock of hair and wrapped it inside a piece of talisman paper.

After chanting a short spell, the talisman paper began to move, floating in mid-air.

Captain Wan's eyes went wide when he saw this. He couldn't understand how such a strange phenomenon was possible.

Mu Lin turned to Wan Pengcheng. "Captain Wan, you can go interrogate him now. He'll be very cooperative."

Wan Pengcheng snapped out of his daze. Although he still felt uneasy, he decided to put his trust in Mu Lin for the time being.

He turned and left to interrogate the man.

Lin Shishi said, "Mu Lin, you should go see that girl. Help treat her physical injuries."

Mu Lin shook his head. "That girl just went through something inhuman. She definitely doesn't want more people to know about her situation. If I go over now, instead of helping her, I'd just be harming her."

Lin Shishi hadn't thought of that. Now that Mu Lin had pointed it out, she felt it made perfect sense.

"You're right. That must be it."

Mu Lin continued, "But if her injuries go untreated, she'll be left with scars, and that's not good either."

Mu Lin grabbed a pen and paper, wrote out a prescription, and handed it to Miao Ya. "Go to the pharmacy, fill this prescription, and after it's brewed, have her drink it."

Miao Ya took the prescription and glanced at it. Seeing Mu Lin's neat handwriting, her expression softened slightly, but she still asked, "Is this prescription reliable? You know how to write prescriptions?"

Lin Shishi said, "Mu Lin is a Divine Doctor, you can rest assured! The number of patients he's cured is far greater than the number of dead bodies you've dissected."

Mu Lin gave a dry cough. Lin Shishi's claim was a bit of an exaggeration.

Back in the mountains, his only patients had been the villagers. Since coming out, the number of patients he'd cured was still limited. While you could say he was incredibly skilled, bragging about the sheer number of patients was actually rather awkward.

Miao Ya looked Lin Shishi up and down, pursed her lips, and said, "So young, and already lost her mind. What a pity."

This made Lin Shishi furious, but Miao Ya simply turned and walked out.

Meanwhile, Wan Pengcheng walked into the interrogation room. The young master was still acting as arrogant as ever.

His mind felt groggy, but he just assumed it was from the alcohol.

In reality, Mu Lin had already taken control of his mind, but he was subtly controlling the spell's strength to ensure the young master could still speak, and that every thought that crossed his mind would be spoken aloud.

"Wang Gou, why haven't you let me out yet? My dad should have already taken care of you people."

'He called me Wang Gou...' Wan Pengcheng was so furious it felt like his liver hurt. He thought about how powerless he was, completely unable to make the man pay.

"Lv Meng, you'd better confess what you did yesterday. The victim is under our protection now, and your family's influence won't be able to reach her this time. Don't even think about paying a single cent to get out of this!"

The thought made Lv Meng burst out laughing. "Let me tell you something. Who needs to threaten her? As long as I handle her parents, it's all the same, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Wan Pengcheng grew even angrier. 'No wonder our efforts are always in vain. So this is where the problem lies!'

The Lv Family extended their reach right into the victim's home. Forget about parents doting on their daughter; most parents would choose to take the money and let the matter die down.

Even if a girl was determined to fight her enemy to the bitter end, very few could actually succeed.

Ultimately, they could not go against their families' wishes, as their families would much rather they take the money and turn a new page.

That money could even be used for her brother's betrothal gift.

From any angle, the girl couldn't afford to dwell on it.

This was the cold, hard reality.

Wan Pengcheng pointed at Lv Meng. "Don't even think you'll get away with it this time!"

Lv Meng roared with laughter. "I already got away with it, you dog! I hypnotized her, then took her to the hotel upstairs, and with her...!"

Lv Meng was stunned. 'How could this be? This isn't what I was thinking at all! Why can't I stop these words from spilling out?'

Wan Pengcheng's eyes narrowed. "You admitted that yourself!"

Lv Meng tried to argue, but by the time the words left his mouth, they had changed completely. "Right! I admit it! But that girl will never dare to stand up and identify me. I recorded the whole thing. If she dares to point the finger at me, I'll release the video, and she'll never be able to show her face in public again!"

Wan Pengcheng's eyes narrowed. 'What's going on? Why is Lv Meng being so blunt today, spilling everything that comes to mind?'

To be honest, the Patrol Team had no idea about the video. And now, Lv Meng had just blurted it out himself.

'This is kind of amazing!'

"Where is the video?" Wan Pengcheng quickly pressed.

Lv Meng wanted to refuse, but his mouth couldn't help but say, "I recorded the video on my phone. It's sealed in a metal bag and hidden in the water tank of my toilet..."

Wan Pengcheng's eyes narrowed. 'Now we have physical evidence. As long as we confirm it, Lv Meng won't be able to escape this.'

He immediately sent his subordinates to find it, then pressed his advantage, asking many more questions.

Lv Meng completely broke down, holding nothing back. It was a real eye-opener for Wan Pengcheng, who suddenly found new leads on many unresolved cold cases.

Miao Ya returned during the latter half of the interrogation. Standing in the observation room outside, she watched Lv Meng spill his guts like beans from a bamboo tube, completely dumbfounded.

'How is this possible? How could Lv Meng be so stupid?'

'If he were this stupid, how could he have become one of the entire Patrol Team's most-watched targets?'

Seeing that he really couldn't squeeze anything else out of Lv Meng, Wan Pengcheng gave up and had his subordinates take him away.

He walked out gleefully and saw Miao Ya standing in the observation room with a stunned expression. He laughed and said, "See that? He told us everything. I even found out what kind of movies he watches in his spare time!"

Miao Ya's expression darkened. "I never thought Mu Lin's methods would be so formidable."

Wan Pengcheng nodded, sighing with emotion. "You're right. I never expected him to be this capable. It's a shame he's not one of ours, otherwise, things would be wonderful..."

"For now, we have to use this momentum to follow the clues and clean up this batch of profligates in Di Yang."

Miao Ya pressed her lips together. "Captain Wan, I think you're celebrating too soon. Lv Meng's father is no pushover... I don't think he'll let this go so easily."

Wan Pengcheng's smile vanished. "What do you mean..."

Just then, a subordinate ran over and whispered a few words in Wan Pengcheng's ear. Wan Pengcheng was instantly speechless.

The smile was completely gone from his face.

A middle-aged man appeared around the corner.

It was Lv Ximing.

He strode over aggressively, his purpose, of course, being to post bail for his son.

No matter how wrong his son was, he couldn't let him suffer in a cell. This was the subconscious thought of a parent like Lv Ximing.

Mu Lin turned and walked out, staring intently at Lv Ximing. "You're Lv Ximing?"

Lv Ximing, however, headed straight for Wan Pengcheng. He was in a hurry and couldn't be bothered with Mu Lin.

But Mu Lin just smiled faintly. "It seems it's time for the Xiguang Group to get a new chairman."
