Chapter 474: Chapter 470: Going to Meet Sophie
"Earth Wolf, tomorrow have Qi Manlin test the bullet head to see if we can find out anything!" Lin Mu instructed.
Since there’s no information about the opponent’s identity, they could only start the investigation from the bullet! Lin Mu wasn’t taking this matter lightly, a sniper rifle is an extremely vicious thing; no matter how skilled you are, if you’re not prepared, a cold shot from behind could still get you killed!
"Got it, boss!" Earth Wolf nodded.
After Right Army ran to the hill to meet with Left Army, Left Army packed the sniper rifle into a case, and then placed it inside a black guitar bag.
"Damn, the opponent is too slick, they actually waited until reinforcements arrived!" Left Army cursed.
"There were just a few of them; with our skills, we could have easily charged down and taken them out with knives!" Right Army said.
Right Army and Left Army, one specializing in close combat, the other in gunplay, had worked together for many years, perfectly complementing each other with one fighting from a distance and the other up close!
"No way, the boss instructed us not to show our faces this time; we can only make long-distance kills, otherwise it wouldn’t be this troublesome!" Left Army said.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Right Army asked.
"First, let’s go back to the hotel and inform the boss, and follow his specific instructions!"
"Alright then, let’s go!"
The figures of Left Army and Right Army disappeared into the night, and when they returned to the hotel, Left Army placed his bag on the bed, took out an unused phone card, inserted it into a phone, and called his boss.
"Boss, the job’s not done!" Left Army said somewhat self-reproachfully over the phone.
"What happened?" the man’s voice on the phone asked coldly.
"That guy’s too slick. After parking the car, he stayed inside without getting out. While they were in the car, we couldn’t determine their exact position, so we didn’t dare to shoot recklessly!" Left Army explained.
"Understood. You didn’t expose your identity, did you?" the man asked.
"Our identity wasn’t exposed. So, boss, what should we do next?" Left Army asked.
"We didn’t succeed today, and he’ll surely have defenses in the future. We’ll wait for now, and I’ll notify you of the specific actions," the man said over the phone.
"Got it, boss!" Left Army nodded.
On the other end of the phone, after the boss finished speaking, he hung up. This man was around forty years old, tall and strong, and was quite striking in appearance and bearing, not like an ordinary person!
The test results from the bullets delivered to the police station by Earth Wolf came out. Disappointingly, no clues were found on the bullets, which were evidently tampered with, so the following morning, Lin Mu went to the East City Public Security Bureau.
Qi Manlin was sitting on the sofa in her office, looking at Lin Mu opposite her. "Lin Mu, besides Chen Shiwei, who else would want to kill you?"
Lin Mu sat on the sofa opposite Qi Manlin, shaking his head with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. "Besides Chen Shiwei, I can’t think of anyone who would want to kill me, especially in such a blatant way!"
"You mean to say that this matter was done by Chen Shiwei?" Qi Manlin asked.
"No, this is suspicious. I’d say there’s an eighty percent chance that it’s someone else and not Chen Shiwei. If he wanted to take me out, he wouldn’t use this approach, so it’s unlikely he directed it. I know Chen Shiwei; he wouldn’t use a gun, and as you know, in today’s society, using a gun changes the nature of the crime, and Chen Shiwei isn’t the kind of person to take such risks and commit a crime!" Lin Mu analyzed simply.
With Lin Mu’s explanation, Qi Manlin became more perplexed. If not Chen Shiwei, she really couldn’t think of anyone else with the capability to boldly use a sniper rifle — how big a grudge must they have!
"What do you think we should do about this?" Qi Manlin asked.
"Since we can’t pursue it from the bullet angle, we have no other options, so we should wait and see how things unfold," Lin Mu said, exhaling a puff of smoke.
"Wait and see? They’ve used a sniper rifle, and you’re still waiting calmly for death? You could get shot anywhere; even if you aren’t killed, you’ll be badly injured, right? You’re in for it!" Qi Manlin said.
Looking at Qi Manlin’s expression, Lin Mu grinned, "Oh! Sis, are you worried about me?"
"Hmph, who’s worried about you? Don’t be so narcissistic, alright? As a police officer, it’s my duty; otherwise, I wouldn’t bother caring about you at all!" Qi Manlin said with a humph.
"Oh, you’re not worried about me, so why are you so nervous? I’m not even nervous."
"Get lost, who’s nervous? It’d be better if you were dead!"
"Uh... Sis, don’t curse me like that. If I die, you’d be left all alone!" Lin Mu grinned.
"Your sister, I’d have plenty of men to choose from!"
"Alright, I give up; you’re formidable!"
"Get lost, sis has work to do; don’t bother me if there’s nothing else!" Qi Manlin waved her hand.
"Alright then, I’ll take my leave!" Lin Mu said, reaching over to give a squeeze to Qi Manlin’s chest.
"Lin Mu, you bastard, I’ll kill you!" Qi Manlin said as she was about to draw her gun.
Lin Mu didn’t give Qi Manlin the chance to retaliate; he swiftly opened and closed the door and bolted out of the office. After leaving the police station, Lin Mu didn’t put this matter aside. It concerned his life, so how could he dismiss it? Since he couldn’t find any leads, he thought it best to discuss it with Sophie!
Sophie in Wancheng was more powerful and informed than Lin Mu; what Lin Mu didn’t know, Sophie might. Apart from Sophie, Lin Mu couldn’t think of anyone else who could figure this out, so ten minutes later, Lin Mu drove to Yunhai Mansion and then took the elevator directly to the CEO’s office on the top floor.
"Hi! Feifei, I’m here!" Lin Mu greeted Sophie, who was sitting on the sofa.
Due to the recent events, Lin Mu hadn’t visited Sophie for a while.
"Oh, what brings you here today?" Sophie said with a slight smile.
"What do you mean by ’what brings me’? I missed you, so I came to see you!" Lin Mu said as he sat beside Sophie.
Sophie rolled her eyes at Lin Mu, "Look at you; not an ounce of seriousness!"
"Hey! Feifei, it’s been a few days; did you miss me?"
"No!" Sophie replied bluntly, giving Lin Mu no face.
"Ha-ha, at least give me some face, huh? Even if you don’t feel like it, at least say it to make me happy," Lin Mu said painfully.
