Chapter 482: Chapter 478: Sleeping
"The evidence is solid. Last time, during the fight, Jinge and Luo the Mute injured quite a few people, and some of them are already dead. My brothers have photos to prove it, but they were taken at night, so it’s hard to tell if they’re dead or alive. Of course, it may not be enough to arrest them, but it puts pressure on them, keeping them from daring to run wild in broad daylight!" Lin Mu said.
"No problem, I’ll send someone to investigate this matter tomorrow!" Qi Manlin responded.
"Also, Jinge and Luo the Mute are ferocious and dangerous people. Don’t push them too hard. If they get cornered and decide to hurt you, it wouldn’t be worth it. Just make them wary of showing up recklessly, give them a way out, don’t push them to a dead-end where they have nothing to lose, or chaos will ensue!" Lin Mu said.
"Got it, I’ll be cautious!" Qi Manlin replied, then added, "Have you found out who’s trying to assassinate you in the dark?"
"No news yet. They showed up very suddenly, leaving me without a clue. But I’ve had Feifei arrange an investigation. We should have news soon!" Lin Mu said.
What truly troubled Lin Mu was this matter. The other party used a sniper rifle, which clearly meant they weren’t amateurs. For Lin Mu, the most terrifying enemies are those hidden in the shadows; open attacks are easier to defend against, but covert ones are unpredictable because you never know when they might strike!
As for Chen Shiwei, Lin Mu wasn’t too worried. After all, Chen Shiwei was out in the open. No matter what moves he made, Lin Mu would have time to react. But those hiding in the shadows targeting him, he feared he had no way to handle them.
"Lin Mu, who else in Wancheng would want to kill you?" Qi Manlin asked.
"I have no idea. I can’t think of anyone who’d want to make a move against me. If it were a die-hard loyalist of Han Si Hai, they probably wouldn’t have the means to use a sniper rifle; otherwise, they would have used it against me long before Han Si Hai! " Lin Mu analyzed.
"Until we get to the bottom of this, you need to be extra careful. The other party has a sniper rifle, which is hard to guard against. I’ll also increase police patrols and intensify the search. Even if it doesn’t help, we need to tighten the atmosphere to deter them from acting rashly!" Qi Manlin said.
"Yeah, you’re really good to me, of course, I know my boundaries too. Taking my life isn’t that easy; my life is tough, even King Yanluo doesn’t dare take it!" Lin Mu grinned.
"Hmph, be serious!" Qi Manlin rolled her eyes at Lin Mu.
"Sis, I find your skin really fragrant, I quite like it!" Lin Mu said, caressing Qi Manlin’s soft skin.
"Hmph, can you take your dirty hands off me? You’ve already sullied me, you beast!"
"Uh... Sis, I haven’t done anything like that, okay? Not doing that shouldn’t count as sullying. You’re blatantly tarnishing my good name!" Lin Mu said painfully.
"Damn it, I’ve already gone to bed with you, you’ve sullied my body indeed. I never thought I could end up in bed with a beast like you, huh. I must be blind. I can’t believe this beast won’t admit it. Hmm, if you keep arguing, believe it or not, I’ll cut it off!" Qi Manlin said angrily.
Lin Mu trembled in fear, "Oh no, sis, today’s an auspicious day, not suited for knives and fights. Besides, I’ve only got one, it’s a non-renewable resource, you can’t just cut it off like that! Fine, from this moment on, I’ll do as you say. If you tell me to go east, I won’t go west, if you tell me to beat up dogs, I won’t chase chickens!" Lin Mu said, continuing to caress Qi Manlin’s skin.
"No need to beat dogs or chase chickens, just chat with me!" Qi Manlin said.
"Uh... Just stop calling me a beast, will you? I need some dignity." Lin Mu said.
"Fine, I won’t call you a beast, I’ll call you a brute!" Qi Manlin laughed.
Early next morning, before the first light, Lin Mu sneaked back to his room. After all, Zhou Xun had returned home. If she found out, it would be really awkward. Women are naturally sensitive to these things, and Lin Mu didn’t feel like explaining!
Fortunately, Lin Mu managed to get back to his room from Qi Manlin’s without Zhou Xun noticing. Then, he practiced his punches in his room for a while. With Jinge and Luo the Mute, these two powerhouses, suddenly surfacing from the underworld, Lin Mu couldn’t afford to underestimate them. He had to quickly improve his power to handle them more effectively when the time came!
Even though Jinge and Luo the Mute were getting on in years, their power hadn’t diminished. If Lin Mu didn’t work hard now, he’d be at their mercy!
Ever since Sophie mentioned the appearance of Jin Luo in Wancheng, Lin Mu had been focused on improving his power to prepare for a possible direct confrontation with them!
By now, Lin Mu had reached a peak level. Further improvement in power was difficult, similar to how a sprinter could cut their time from twenty seconds to ten, but reducing it from ten to nine was exceedingly tough!
Training was the same. Reaching a certain level or peak, a breakthrough was very difficult and often occurred by chance. Otherwise, it was really hard to achieve!
Lin Mu stuck to his daily morning training routine, never missing it. His grandfather, Old Lin, had emphasized that no matter one’s skill level, this practice had to continue. To break through, one had to persist with training and enlightenment; over time, insights would emerge.
Now Lin Mu seemed to grasp the essence of the words from his grandpa, that old man. Once reaching this peak, a breakthrough was really tough. But crossing that hurdle would mean a significant leap in his power!
Of course, to achieve such breakthroughs, the old man also mentioned taking time to understand and ponder. When he reached Lin Mu’s stage back in the day, it took him ten years just to move up one level, then he couldn’t stop and finally reached a god-like state akin to Divine-Demonic Possession.
