Lin Mu had just finished speaking when Su Xiaowan slowly opened her eyes. Naturally, Su Xiaowan still appeared quite weak; it was impossible for her to suddenly recover completely. If she had woken up full of energy, Lin Mu would have been a live Immortal. Still, she was already better than those old doctors in the hospital. Had the doctors been in charge of the rescue, she would probably still be in a coma.
"Xiaowan, you're finally awake. Oh dear, you scared to death." Sophie's tightly knitted brow finally relaxed. On one hand, she worried about Su Xiaowan's injuries; on the other, she needed to understand the origin and developnt of this matter. President Su felt that this incident targeted her, and Su Xiaowan was rely a breakthrough point. After all, Su Xiaowan had been with her for so many years, and knew many of her affairs.
"President…" Su Xiaowan weakly nodded.
"Xiaowan, what's going on? Who did this?" Sophie asked.
"President, I don't know. I was walking down the street when suddenly a group of people rushed over, injured the bodyguard, and kidnapped . I don't know where they took , or who they are. But I can be sure they were won with extraordinary skills. They asked where you hid those jewels. Obviously, these people were after those ten treasures, but I didn't say. Ultimately, they beat in frustration, and I passed out." Su Xiaowan recalled the situation.
"Sure enough, it's for those ten treasures." Sophie murmured; all within her expectations.
However, Lin Mu wore a face of surprise. A group of won, and also for those ten treasures — could it be her? This reminded Lin Mu of Man Luo, as she too wanted those ten treasures on Xiang Island.
If it were truly her, Lin Mu would be reluctant to deal with her. After all, they had shared a wild night together, making her one of Lin Mu's won, sowhat unexpectedly. But she indeed was a woman Lin Mu had been with. For Lin Mu, who prided himself on being responsible for his won, how could he bear to harm a woman from his past?
"Lin Mu, what are you thinking?" Sophie glanced at the dazed Lin Mu.
Lin Mu snapped back, chuckling, "Nothing really, just wondering who's so daring, causing trouble right on my turf!"
"This matter is of great importance. Could you send soone to investigate who these people are?" Sophie said.
Lin Mu nodded, "Don't worry, I'll handle it. They didn't get anything useful from Xiaowan, so they're likely to target you next. Be careful."
"Rest assured, I'm cautious." Sophie nodded in response.
In fact, Lin Mu already had a clear idea. Whether it was truly Man Luo was uncertain, but according to Su Xiaowan's description, it was likely.
Lin Mu made a call to Earth Wolf. At that ti, Wancheng was Flying Dragon's domain. As the Alliance Leader of the underground world, investigating so unfamiliar faces from out of town was certainly no difficult task.
"Alright, go ahead. Rember, if you find them, do not act rashly. Inform first." Lin Mu instructed.
"Understood, boss. You can count on ." Earth Wolf responded, hanging up the call, and then making arrangents to investigate at various locations in Wancheng per Lin Mu's instructions.
In a three-star hotel room in Wancheng East District, Man Luo sat on the sofa, smoking a lady's cigarette. Her capable assistant, Qing'Er, stood respectfully beside her.
"Qing'Er, instruct everyone to stay separately in different hotels. We haven't obtained any useful information this ti, and Su's Great Enterprise will certainly send people to investigate. They have substantial influence in Wancheng, which we must not take lightly. Therefore, we must be cautious," Man Luo exhaled a wisp of smoke as she spoke.
Qing'Er nodded, "Understood, Sister Manluo. What should we do next?"
"Since even the secretary doesn't know where it is, we can only target Sophie. It's just that our actions need to be tily," Man Luo said.
"Sister Manluo, have you noticed that Sophie, the queen of Wancheng's comrce, seems very familiar, as if she's appeared in our bar?" Qing'Er said, holding a photo of Sophie.
"Really?" Man Luo furrowed her brows, "Show the photo."
Qing'Er brought the photo to Man Luo, "Last ti at our bar, she had a fight with the Zhou Family's subordinates. There was also a guy nad Lin Mu. Although this woman dressed casually at the ti, differing greatly from the photo of Sophie, upon closer examination, they are actually the sa person. It's just that the Sophie in the photo looks more mature and composed."
"Lin Mu?" Upon hearing Qing'Er ntion Lin Mu, Man Luo's expression beca quite complicated.
"Yes, the guy we wanted to kill but…" Qing'Er reached here but quickly noticed Man Luo's displeasure, so she didn't continue.
"Qing'Er, can you confirm if the woman at our bar was Sophie?" Man Luo asked coldly.
"I can confirm." Qing'Er nodded.
"Then Lin Mu is in Wancheng?"
"Should be in Wancheng. Sophie and Lin Mu were together. Although we aren't familiar with the situation in Wancheng, it isn't hard to confirm, as any local could tell us." Qing'Er said.
"Qing'Er, quickly verify if Lin Mu is in Wancheng and also instruct the sisters to scatter. Go ahead." Man Luo instructed.
"Understood, Sister Manluo." Qing'Er nodded and left the room.
"Lin Mu, this ti I definitely won't let you go. Anyone who dares to bully my man faces a miserable fate; all must die. You are no exception." Man Luo exuded a cold, murderous aura.
Though Man Luo internally wished to never see Lin Mu again and let him remain a mory, her hatred welled up when Qing'Er ntioned that he was in Wancheng.
It wasn't until night that Earth Wolf called Lin Mu back; the group of won who hurt Xiaowan hadn't been found. It seed things weren't as simple as Lin Mu had thought.
This shows Lin Mu underestimated Man Luo's capabilities. It's no wonder; if Man Luo truly wanted to hide and her real na and identity were unknown, finding her would indeed be difficult. But whether to find Man Luo wasn't so vital to Lin Mu.
However, this ti the enemy is different from the past; this enemy might be a woman from his past. Despite this, Lin Mu still felt a deep attachnt and reluctance toward his past won, naturally unable to treat Man Luo as an enemy. Moreover, Lin Mu harbored a wild idea: to use this opportunity to reclaim Man Luo.
