"That’s right, it’s a fake. We’ve all been tricked. Do you rember the Purple Clothes from the expo? I suspect she is the Corpse Emperor, and we need to confirm it!" Lin Mu smiled and said.
"How do we confirm it?" Qi Manlin asked.
"These two ladies are enemies of the Corpse Emperor and have seen her true face. Doesn’t the auction registration have a photo of Purple Clothes? Just compare it!" Lin Mu shrugged and said.
"Oh right, why didn’t I think of that? You have to be there in person for the auction, even if the na is fake, the face can’t be changed. The person must be real!"
Then Lin Mu, Qi Manlin, Zhou Furong, and Guo ii went to the file room. Qi Manlin opened the computer and soon pulled up the photo of Purple Clothes.
"Is it her?" Lin Mu pointed at Purple Clothes on the screen and asked.
"That’s right, it’s her, the Corpse Emperor!" Zhou Furong nodded, her eyes filled with killing intent as she stared at the photo, showing how deep her hatred for the Corpse Emperor was.
"Haha, it’s her indeed. I was wondering who had such a deep grudge against ; turns out it’s this cunning woman!" Lin Mu laughed.
"Where is she?" Zhou Furong asked coldly.
"Uh... I don’t know, she’s always elusive, not easy to find!" Lin Mu shrugged and said.
"As long as she’s in Wancheng, we’ll find her soday. She must pay with blood!" Zhou Furong said with determination in her eyes.
"Haha, the Corpse Emperor isn’t as easy to deal with as you think. I have a suggestion, see if you agree?" Lin Mu smiled.
"What suggestion?" The two of them looked up at Lin Mu.
"Work with . To find the Corpse Emperor, cooperation is key. Even though your skills are good, I believe I have more influence in Wancheng. Besides, I have connections with the police and military. If you search aimlessly, who knows how long it’ll take?"
Zhou Furong and Guo ii exchanged glances. What Lin Mu said made sense. Searching like this in Wancheng was like finding a needle in a haystack, but with Lin Mu’s help, it would be much easier.
"Alright, we two will work with you, as long as we can find the Corpse Emperor, we’ll do anything!" Zhou Furong nodded and said.
"Oh? Anything? Really?" Lin Mu grinned and stared at the two of them.
Zhou Furong and Guo ii glanced at Lin Mu’s expression, feeling they might have misspoken. Did he an they could even... sleep together?
Qi Manlin, standing next to Lin Mu, reached over and pinched the flesh on Lin Mu’s waist, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Mu yelped in pain, showing a wide grin, "Co on, you guys aren’t pure, I was just asking if the two of you could help out at the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion, we’re short-staffed lately..."
"Then speak clearly, don’t beat around the bush!" Qi Manlin glanced at Lin Mu and said.
"Fine, you guys aren’t pure, instead you’re blaming ..."
"Nonsense, I’ll shoot you dead!"
"..."
Zhou Furong and Guo ii watched Lin Mu and Qi Manlin bickering like a couple, showing their extraordinary relationship since Qi Manlin is the director of the East City Police Station, proving Lin Mu’s powerful background!
"Brother Lin, we agree with you, as long as we can catch the Corpse Emperor in the end!" Zhou Furong nodded and said.
"That’s good, with experts like you at ho, I can go out and do my business with peace of mind!" Lin Mu laughed.
"Oh? What business do you have, bastard?" Qi Manlin asked suspiciously at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu didn’t dare say he was going to Dongguang Province to protect a beauty, or else Qi Manlin would stir up trouble again!
"Oh, just a small thing. Brother Xiong has sothing he needs my help with, so I might not be in Wancheng these days. You can help watch over the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion, and if there are any issues, you can find Brother Xiong." Lin Mu chuckled and patted Xiong Jian’s shoulder.
"Right, Fangfei, I have an important matter for Lin Mu to handle. If there’s an issue, just call ." Xiong Jian smiled and replied.
Qi Manlin nodded, "Alright then, rember to co back quickly after you’re done, don’t leave everything on ."
"Hey, got it, co here, girl, let give you a kiss!" Lin Mu grinned and leaned in to kiss Qi Manlin.
"Get lost, no decency, bastard!" Qi Manlin pushed Lin Mu away.
The next morning, Lin Mu boarded the train heading to Shencheng City in Dongguang Province. Xiong Jian had already made contact, and soone would pick him up once he got off.
Shencheng City is not far from Wancheng, the train only takes a little over an hour. After arriving, Lin Mu got off, and at the entrance, soone was holding a sign with his na on it, waiting for him. Lin Mu squeezed through and the old man holding the sign patted Lin Mu’s shoulder and asked,
"Excuse , are you Mr. Lin Mu?"
Lin Mu looked back at the old man, who appeared to be in his fifties,
"I’m Lin Mu, and you are?"
"Oh, hello, I’m Uncle ng, the ng family’s butler. Our master sent to pick you up. Please, Mr. Li, co ho with ." Uncle ng said politely with a smile.
Lin Mu nodded, smiled and said, "I see, alright then."
"Right this way, Mr. Lin!"
Then Lin Mu followed Uncle ng into the BMW parked nearby. Inside was a driver in black, looking quite tough, likely a ng Family bodyguard. The ng Family’s opulence was evident, even the driver had an imposing presence.
The BMW slowly drove out of the airport and headed towards the ng Family. About twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the foothills of a luxurious suburban residential area.
Through the window, Lin Mu saw the European-style villa district at the foot of the mountain. The residents here were either wealthy or noble. Lin Mu knew from Xiong Jian that Master ng Guoxiong’s wife was one of Shencheng City’s top business leaders. It was no surprise they lived here. An official living in a rich area might attract attention, but for a major business owner, it’s only natural!
The car slowly drove into the courtyard of a European-style villa and stopped. Lin Mu opened the car door and looked around at the expansive and elegant surroundings. This courtyard alone probably covered tens of thousands of square ters, qualifying it as a mansion.
"Mr. Lin, please co in, Master ng is waiting for you inside." Uncle ng gestured politely.
Lin Mu nodded, then followed Uncle ng inside.
Upon entering, a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa smoking, exuding a tough deanor. No need to ask, this man had to be ng Guoxiong, who could take down an international drug cartel, undoubtedly possessing remarkable capabilities!
