"Hehe, the one who knows best, Feifei! My fiancée truly is sothing else. It seems like we really are a match made in heaven! I’m not going to let this matter slide. I plan to head out to sea personally to see just who this mysterious person is!" Lin Mu laughed.
"It seems like they are from the island, and since they managed to injure your two n so badly, they must not be easy to deal with. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake; going after them so rashly might be dangerous, right?" Sophie analyzed, feeling a bit worried for Lin Mu.
"Don’t worry, bro has ventured through tiger’s lairs and dragon’s dens, and even passed through Death’s Door a few tis. There’s nowhere in this world that scares . It’s just that one thing is very concerning!" Lin Mu said.
"Concerned about what?"
"Their purpose? Clearly, they only destroyed the goods, yet gained no profit. Hurting others without benefiting themselves, just for fun? They can’t just be bored out of their minds, right?" Lin Mu said with a aningful tone.
Sophie, being intelligent, naturally understood what Lin Mu ant!
"Yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. They haven’t gained any economic benefit from us, which ans soone must have hired them to do this!" Lin Mu chuckled.
"Who do you think hired them?" Sophie asked.
"It must be our enemy. If they had stolen our goods, it would an they’re after financial gain. But now, throwing the goods into the sea clearly aims to hit us where it hurts!" Lin Mu analyzed.
With Lin Mu’s analysis, things beca clearer. The mastermind is definitely an enemy of either Lin Mu or Sophie, but to find out exactly who it was requires venturing into enemy territory to gather intel! The mastermind is locked within the circle in Wancheng!
"No matter what, I must go to the island to investigate. We can’t just let go of our sixty million like that; not only should we not incur losses, but I also plan to make a fortune!" Lin Mu said.
Sophie looked at Lin Mu, this bizarre and fascinating man, feeling a bit helpless yet admiring, "It seems like you’re money-obsessed, always thinking about earning money no matter what you do."
"Hey, there’s no other way. I need to earn lots of money to marry you, a whole lot of money, otherwise people will think I’m living off you!" Lin Mu grinned.
"I won’t stop you if you want to go, just be cautious." Sophie said.
"Hmm, rest assured, nothing will happen." Lin Mu nodded.
During dinner, Lin Mu talked with Zhou Xun, Qi Manlin, and Xiong Xiaoxiao about it. In fact, Qi Manlin had already received the police report from Liu Binqi’s company and was thinking about asking Lin Mu for the details when Lin Mu ntioned he planned to go to Zhujiang Island personally to investigate!
"You’re going to Zhujiang Island by yourself? No way, that place is too dangerous, you can’t go." Qi Manlin imdiately objected upon hearing Lin Mu’s intentions.
"No problem. We’ve been to all kinds of places, don’t worry. Besides, this matter is significant; it concerns future trust in collaboration, so it needs to be resolved!" Lin Mu said.
Qi Manlin thought for a mont, then said, "Fine, but you have to take along; I will go with you!"
"Oh my, Officer Flower, are you brain dead? You think we’re going on vacation? This is dangerous business, venturing into the dragon’s den and tiger’s lair! You don’t even know the opponent’s strength. Why are you going? Plus, you’re a woman; if so brute bumps into you and does sothing inappropriate, you’d be in trouble!" Lin Mu waved his hand dismissively.
"What do I need you for? Aren’t you a man? You can protect ," Qi Manlin said with pouting lips.
"Ugh, protect you... Damn it, so are you going to help or just cause trouble? I can’t make sense of it!" Lin Mu said, a bit exasperated.
"Of course to help you. You just need to protect a little; I can liaise with the police station on Zhujiang Island, which will make things easier." Qi Manlin said.
"Sure, make things easier? That tiny place is even smaller than our central city district, and with such a big force existing there, it must an the police and gangsters are in cahoots. You might as well hope your so-called colleagues don’t cause more trouble. If they were any use, how could those bad guys be so rampant on the island with such ease?" Lin Mu waved his hand dismissively, feeling Qi Manlin was as naïve as a water cooler, never preparing for the worst.
"No way, I must go. I’m the chief from East City, and since there’s a report from the parties involved, it’s my duty to investigate. If you don’t want to go with , I can go on my own!" Qi Manlin insisted.
Of course, Qi Manlin knew that Lin Mu wouldn’t let her go alone, as he’s the kind to take charge of everything. Although she always argued with Lin Mu, she understood that Lin Mu cared about her, he just doesn’t say it.
Lin Mu had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I’ll take you, but there’s one condition. You have to listen to my arrangents."
"Hee hee, no problem, no problem!" Qi Manlin happily giggled.
Lin Mu looked at Qi Manlin’s excited face, feeling a bit exasperated. Damn, it was as if he was taking her on a vacation, when in fact, it’s a very dangerous mission, yet she’s that happy. But he smiled too early.
"Then get ready. We leave tomorrow. I’ll take care of the boat." Lin Mu said.
"Alright, hehe, see you tomorrow. I’ll go upstairs and pack." Qi Manlin went upstairs with excitent, like a little girl preparing for a long trip.
"Brother Lin, you’re really taking Manlin?" Zhou Xun said, looking at Lin Mu.
"Look at her personality, do I have a choice? Ah, let her go, I can’t do anything about it." Lin Mu said helplessly.
"Oh, then be careful over there, don’t worry us!" Zhou Xun said, with pouting lips.
Lin Mu looked at Zhou Xun and smiled, "Hey, girl, are you getting jealous?"
"Narcissist! Who’s jealous?" Zhou Xun turned her head away.
"Hehe, don’t worry, superstar, Wild Girl’s personality would never allow any funny business even if I wanted to." Lin Mu shalessly said.
Zhou Xun looked at Lin Mu, feeling a bit speechless. This guy always speaks his mind, completely without any reservation. However, she secretly wished she could go with him too; being with Lin Mu always felt safe yet exciting, thrilling and exhilarating.
