Chapter 164

Everyone was completely dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before them, unable to snap back to their senses for a long time. Even Liu Dongming himself stood frozen in place, a look of utter shock plastered across his face, completely clueless as to what had just happened.

"Director Liu, Commander Lin, I am so sorry! My previous offenses were entirely my fault. Please, in your great magnanimity, do not hold it against me or stoop to my level!"

Lan Qiancheng's words sent another wave of profound shock through everyone present!

At that moment, the entire Public Security Bureau was dead silent—so quiet that even the dropping of a needle could be heard. Everyone stood with their jaws dropped, utterly speechless!

"Mr. Chu sent me here to apologize to the two of you, in hopes of earning your forgiveness. If you refuse to forgive me, I will stay right here on my knees and refuse to get up!"

Hearing this, Liu Dongming finally snapped out of his trance, a deep sense of shock rippling through his heart.

So all of this was orchestrated by Mr. Chu!

"Think nothing of it, think nothing of it. Young Master Lan, please get up first." Liu Dongming hardly dared to let Lan Qiancheng stay on his knees, quickly stepping forward to help him up. Lin Feng also stepped in to lend a hand. Their joint attitude tacitly signaled their forgiveness.

"Thank you both for your understanding. I, Lan Qiancheng, will never commit such a foolish mistake again!" Lan Qiancheng rose, cupped his fists in salute to Director Liu and Lin Feng, and without another word, turned and left under the stunned gazes of the crowd.

He left behind a group of onlookers who could only stare at each other in blank dismay, their faces etched with shock.

"Did you all hear what Young Master Lan just said?"

"I heard it. He said Mr. Chu sent him here to apologize!"

"Could the Mr. Chu he mentioned be... Chu Tianhe?"

"Who else could it possibly be?"

"Just what kind of background does this Mr. Chu have? How terrifying is he that he could order Young Master Lan to come here and apologize, and the guy actually came and kowtowed in kowtowing repentance to our Director?!"

In an instant, the name Chu Tianhe struck awe into the heart of every single officer in the Public Security Bureau. Everyone was left silently guessing at his true identity!

To be able to make the young master of the Lan family come over and kowtow in apology with just a single word—could he possibly be an ordinary person?

"Commander Lin, you have to give me the bottom line. Just what is Mr. Chu's background?"

It wasn't just the officers; even Director Liu himself was utterly stunned. Mechanically turning his head toward Lin Feng, he couldn't help pressing for answers.

"Do you really want to know?"

Lin Feng frowned, his expression turning grave as he fixed his gaze on Director Liu and asked.

"This... this..."

Seeing Lin Feng's solemn expression, Director Liu's heart skipped a beat yet again. But he quickly steadied his nerves and replied, "I still need to know!"

"Mr. Chu's actions are simply too astonishing. I have to figure out his exact identity!"

In the end, Director Liu made up his mind that he had to uncover Chu Tianhe's identity; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep a wink!

"Lean in closer." Lin Feng motioned to Director Liu and whispered in an extremely low voice right into his ear, "Have you ever heard of the Pantheon? Mr. Chu is the Lord of the Pantheon!"

"What?!"

Director Liu's expression changed drastically, and he recoiled in sheer shock, stumbling back several paces!

"Shh!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly made a silencing gesture and whispered fiercely, "Keep your damn voice down! Leaking Mr. Chu's identity is a capital offense!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Dongming hurriedly raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Looking back in the direction where Lan Qiancheng had vanished, he murmured, "No wonder Lan Qiancheng came here to kowtow and apologize. With a figure this formidable, even ten Lan families combined wouldn't dare to cross him!"

"Now that you know Mr. Chu's identity, you can weigh your own actions accordingly from now on." Lin Feng glared at Liu Dongming with a gloomy expression, sternly warning, "Surely I don't need to remind you what should be done and what shouldn't?"
