The Ghost Shadow Assassin, Zombie, and Shi Jiangda were held separately. Qi Manlin first instructed the officers to open the prison cell of the Ghost Shadow Assassin.
Lin Mu stepped in, and the Ghost Shadow Assassin looked at Lin Mu with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "You, what do you want to do?"
Lin Mu didn’t speak, snorted coldly, and tapped several tis on the chest of the Ghost Shadow Assassin, who then stood still like a vegetable!
Then Lin Mu took out a bottle of blue liquid, placed it at the Ghost Shadow’s mouth, pried his mouth open, poured so in, and stroked his neck to ensure the liquid was swallowed down his throat, only then did he release him.
Subsequently, Lin Mu unlocked the Ghost Shadow Assassin’s acupuncture points. Once consciousness returned, the Ghost Shadow Assassin warily asked Lin Mu, "What did you make take?"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "A good product, this stuff sells for hundreds of thousands per tael in the Golden Triangle. See how generous I am giving you a free taste. Now, I’m letting you go to find your Corpse Emperor. He paid a hefty sum to release you, and he’s waiting for you outside!"
The Ghost Shadow Assassin was visibly surprised, evidently not believing Lin Mu’s words. How could the Corpse Emperor co to rescue him in this situation? Moreover, even if he did, he wouldn’t trust Lin Mu to release him. It seed unlikely.
"What exactly do you want?" the Ghost Shadow Assassin asked warily.
Lin Mu snorted coldly, "Letting you go. If you don’t want to leave, that’s fine. I don’t mind making sure you never leave here alive. If you’re smart, get out before I regret it. Don’t make see you again, or I’ll ensure it’s the last thing you see. And you can wait for Zombie and Shi Jiangda; I’ll be releasing them in a while too!"
The Ghost Shadow Assassin glanced at Lin Mu. Regardless of Lin Mu’s intentions, getting out was most important. If Lin Mu wanted to act against him, he would have done so already instead of letting him go first!
"Hurry up and leave before I change my mind; otherwise, you won’t be able to leave at all!"
The Ghost Shadow Assassin said nothing more, and quickly exited the detention room!
Lin Mu used the sa thod to inject ice poison into Zombie and Shi Jiangda’s bodies, then released both of them!
"Hey, what if you let them out and they manage to neutralize the ice poison? And are you confident about capturing the Corpse Emperor?" Qi Manlin asked Lin Mu.
"I’m confident they can’t neutralize the ice poison!"
Lin Mu said with a relaxed smile. He had used this special concoction to punish betrayers or traitors on the North African Grassland, and no one had been able to break his unique formula, crafted from a secret recipe in the Diamond Sutra, consisting of ice poison combined with poppy, marijuana, and a dozen other drugs, which only his antidote could nullify.
"However, I’m not sure about capturing the Corpse Emperor in one go, but it’ll be far better than leaving it to you police officers!" Lin Mu tossed a cigarette, smiled, and walked out.
"You... bastard!" Qi Manlin stomped her foot in anger and turned to follow him out.
...
An hour later, at a small motel in Wancheng West District, the Ghost Shadow Assassin, Zombie, and Shi Jiangda, who had just been released from the Dongguan Police Station South City Branch, knelt simultaneously on the ground. Above them stood the imperious leader of the Zombie Gang, the Corpse Emperor, still masked and turning his back to his three subordinates, facing the bustling street scene outside the window.
The three n apologized in unison, "Sir, we were incompetent. Please punish us, Corpse Emperor!"
"Get up, all of you. Now isn’t the ti to punish you." The Corpse Emperor stood by the window, gazing at the night scene outside, "It’s a critical mont now. As long as you all manage to handle this matter well, you can redeem yourselves and earn many rewards."
Hearing this, the n collectively sighed in relief; otherwise, given the Corpse Emperor’s notoriously ruthless punishnts, they would have preferred death!
"Whatever the Corpse Emperor orders, we will follow him to the death!" The tone of his three subordinates carried a strange mix of respect and fear!
The Corpse Emperor nodded in satisfaction, "I have reliable information that Sophie has moved up the antique auction by a few days, setting it for the day after tomorrow morning. This is our last chance!"
"Does the Corpse Emperor an we should infiltrate the auction and seize it then?" Shi Jiangda asked.
The Corpse Emperor sneered, saying, "Ha, do you think Sophie’s a simple woman? What else does she rely on to sustain Su’s Great Enterprise, a Fortune 500 company, except her exceptionally brilliant mind?"
"The Corpse Emperor is right, so what plan does he have?" Shi Jiangda quickly inquired with a nod.
"They’ve already tead up with the South China Special Forces. Sophie is releasing the news about moving the auction up just to trap us and capture us in one fell swoop, otherwise, they wouldn’t have released you all so easily!" The Corpse Emperor snorted coldly, "But they’re underestimating , the Corpse Emperor. We’ll take action tomorrow night. I’ll keep an eye on them during this ti, and you all should rest well; our success or failure hinges on this!"
"Yes, Corpse Emperor!" the three n replied in unison.
...
In the morning, Lin Mu arrived early at Yunhai Mansion, taking the elevator straight to the top floor’s CEO office.
"Feifei, are the bodyguards I asked you to prepare ready?" Lin Mu walked forward and asked.
Sophie, sitting elegantly on the sofa, nodded, "They’re all ready. Each one is skilled and definitely won’t hold you back!"
"Good, have them all co up," he said.
"Okay." Sophie agreed, then used the intercom to signal Su Xiaowan outside, and soon, ten fit young n with crew cuts walked in!
"Hello, President!" the ten bodyguards said in unison.
Sophie nodded slightly, "I have selected these ten from Yunhai Mansion elite, and now I entrust them all to your use. Take them with you."
Lin Mu smiled, pointing at the bodyguards, "Five of you guard downstairs, conduct thorough checks around the building, and five of you stay at the lobby entrance, allowing no one to enter!"
"Yes," the bodyguards nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait a second." Sophie glanced at Lin Mu, stood from the sofa, and said, "Aren’t you taking them to deal with the Corpse Emperor? Why have them guarding here?"
