Lin Mu was insinuating that since a friend would send soone to assassinate him, his conscience must have been eaten by dogs. Chen Shiwei naturally understood the aning behind Lin Mu’s words, but the request that Lin Mu made was sothing Chen Shiwei could hardly agree to. Frankly speaking, the businesses at the port were far more important than Jinge’s four apprentices. Using the port to trade for Jinge’s apprentices was sothing Chen Shiwei would never consent to.
"Hehe, so does Brother Lin an there’s no room for negotiation?" Chen Shiwei snorted coldly.
"Eldest Young Master Chen, you’re mistaken. Whether or not negotiations succeed is entirely up to you!" Lin Mu chuckled softly.
Chen Shiwei took his phone and hung up. There was no point in continuing the conversation; to do so would only be an act of self-humiliation!
"Hehe, he hung up!" Lin Mu shrugged, saying to Sophie.
"You’re really bold to ask for Chen Shiwei’s port. You’d have to trade his life for it, otherwise, it’s impossible!" Sophie laughed lightly.
"Hehe! I just want to slap his face, let’s see what he can do!" Lin Mu grinned.
"Aren’t you afraid Jinge might lash out and directly storm in to save people? If that happens, I’m afraid your people won’t be able to handle it!" Sophie warned.
"Don’t worry, I’m betting he won’t dare. I’ve already asked Manlin to use the police to apply a lot of pressure on them. Both the underworld and the authorities know the police are about to take him down. At a ti like this, that old trickster Jinge wouldn’t risk saving his apprentices. If he indeed tries, there’s no helping it, but I’ve also arranged for gunn to wait for him. If he dares to co hard, I’ll play it out to the bloody end! But I dare to bet, their casualties will be greater than mine!" Lin Mu said with a relaxed expression.
"You villain, I’m sure Chen Shiwei must hate you to the core right now!" Sophie looked at Lin Mu and said.
"Hehe! Let him hate if he wants to. I didn’t give him any face to begin with, and I still don’t now! Let’s see what he can do to ?" Lin Mu grinned.
"Tsk, your attitude!" Sophie rolled her eyes at Lin Mu.
"By the way, did you manage to investigate who tried to assassinate ?" Lin Mu asked, as this was the issue that concerned him the most.
Unable to figure it out for a day, Lin Mu wouldn’t eat or drink well for a day!
"There’s a clue; we’ve basically identified the hotel they’re staying at, but their actual identities are still unknown, and we’re not even sure if they’re the ones who tried to kill you. However, these two are very suspicious, and they’re new arrivals in Wancheng," Sophie said.
Lin Mu nodded; what Sophie had done was very comndable. After all, the other party’s appearance, identity, and even their purpose were unknown. To find suspicious individuals in such circumstances showed that Sophie was already very diligent.
"Which hotel? Regardless of certainty, I must confirm it myself!" Lin Mu asked.
"A budget hotel in East City. Are you really going?" Sophie said.
Lin Mu nodded, "Yes, this matter needs to be resolved quickly. Whether they are or aren’t, I must see for myself!"
"Alright, I’ll send soone to go with you!" Sophie said.
"No need, I can go myself. Do you have photos?" Lin Mu said.
"I have their photos here. Can you manage it alone?" Sophie asked worriedly.
"Don’t worry; I can handle it!" Lin Mu said.
"Alright then!" Sophie stood up, walked to the desk, and handed a few photos to Lin Mu, "They are in room 413; be careful when the ti cos!"
Lin Mu took the photos and looked at them. It was a picture of two thin n wearing baseball caps, just stepping out of an elevator. The angle suggested it was taken furtively, but the picture was clear. From it, Lin Mu could discern that both n were trained fighters, especially the stocky one, who was definitely skilled in hand-to-hand combat. The other one’s right wrist was particularly thick, indicating he was a skilled gunman. Only through years of gun handling could one develop such a thick wrist!
However, Lin Mu was curious, as he did not recognize these two by appearance, and there was no talk of personal enmity. Could it be that soone hired them to assassinate him? If they were hired, who could it be? Whom had Lin Mu offended? Could it be the saying that with fa cos trouble? Damn it, Lin Mu was a bit vexed!
But anyway, Lin Mu had to go explore for himself. These two might not be the ones who tried to assassinate him that night, but there’s a high probability given the photos. As one of the n was a good gunman, the sniper from that night could very well be this person!
Lin Mu decided to go imdiately. As dusk approached, he drove to this budget hotel. This ti, he must be vigilant; these were terrifying guys with guns. While he could handle it, he had to be careful not to cause collateral damage, so Lin Mu aid to ensure the safety of hotel staff before taking action, avoiding drawing too much attention whenever possible!
Upon arriving at the budget hotel, Lin Mu booked a room next to 413, number 412. After paying, he took his room card and went upstairs. Once there, he used the card to open the door and entered the room, before closing the door shut.
The soundproofing between walls in hotels is average. With Lin Mu’s highly tuned Seventh Sense sensitivity, his ears could naturally pick up on movents next door. Even on a noisy evening, Lin Mu could occasionally hear the "clap clap clap" sounds from the adjacent room between n and won, so eavesdropping on movents was no challenge for Lin Mu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have booked a room!
Lin Mu closed the door and stealthily approached the intervening wall between rooms 413 and 412, placing his ear flat against the wall. He just happened to overhear a man’s voice from the other room, "Left Army, I’m a bit hungry. Let’s go down for a bite to eat, and then to the bar for a few drinks to unwind. After that failed assassination attempt, the boss hasn’t given us any tasks, and it’s driving nuts. When do you think the boss will order us into action?"
"I wouldn’t know; we’ll just wait. Anyways, the boss is paying us; we might as well enjoy ourselves. Hey, Right Army, hand my clothes!" called out Left Army.
"Damn, you’re such a bother. Can’t take a bath without fetching clothes yourself?" Right Army complained, grabbing a piece of clothing from the bed and handing it through the bathroom door to Left Army.
Left Army wiped himself down in the bathroom, got dressed, and ca out, "Let’s go, get so food first, then hit the bar; maybe we can pick up a chick!"
"With your behavior, you think you can pick up a chick? You think your scrappy build can handle it?" Right Army teased, patting Left Army’s chest.
