Chapter 303 302: Settling the Score

Li Xue came walking over, her footsteps echoing.

"What happened? Why is it such a mess?"

Her secretary had told her there was trouble, so she had come to check it out.

"Someone came looking for revenge on me. My apologies... I'll cover Xue Yang's medical bills and the cost of repairing the facilities."

Li Xue's expression turned ugly. Was this a time for pleasantries?

"You want to play the big shot? Manager Xue was clearly injured on the job. The company will pay for it," Li Xue said.

Mu Lin said, "Fine."

He pointed at Chen Xi. "Take Manager Xue to the Holy Medicine Hall. Just give this prescription to Divine Doctor Zhao, and he'll know what to do."

Chen Xi nodded. "Alright..."

As Mu Lin turned to leave, Li Xue hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

Mu Lin said, "I have to go settle a score! The real mastermind hasn't paid the price yet!"

Li Xue watched Mu Lin's retreating figure, a sense of loss washing over her.

The Anhua City Martial Arts Association.

Han Longguo had dismissed all the students and was now sitting upright in the very center of the martial arts dojo, resting with his eyes closed.

He was just waiting for good news from Fei Ji.

There would be a lot of trouble if anyone else made a move, but the Military Suppression Bureau was different. They possessed nearly all the resources.

Fei Ji was a Level-1 operative, even stronger than an ordinary member.

'How could he possibly fail to take care of a single Mu Lin?'

Beside Han Longguo was a middle-aged man, his face etched with apprehension and worry.

He had seen a lot, and he feared this matter wasn't so simple.

'Mu Lin is no ordinary person. Will he really be dealt with so easily?'

BOOM!

A powerful explosion-like sound echoed from outside the door. But upon listening closely, it wasn't an explosion, but the sound of fists hammering against the iron gate.

"This is..." The middle-aged man's expression changed dramatically.

"Where are the guards?!?!"

There should have been guards outside, and even several sentry posts.

But why hadn't they stopped him?

Without a doubt, Mu Lin had arrived.

BANG! BANG! BANG! The iron gate was struck repeatedly.

This iron gate was fifty millimeters thick, comparable to the armor of a light tank.

With armor that thick, even a bomb might not be able to blast it open.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

It sounded like war drums.

"So annoying! Go open the gate! I want to confront him face-to-face!"

Han Longguo raged. The middle-aged man quickly said, "Young Master, you mustn't! It's too dangerous! Mu Lin will definitely try to kill you!"

"Let's see if he dares!"

But while they were still arguing, they heard a crisp, sharp sound.

It was immediately followed by the grinding of a sliding track.

The gate was open!

Mu Lin shot straight in their direction like a black shadow, his speed incredibly fast.

"Young Master, run!" The middle-aged man's face grew even more grim; he was utterly desperate.

He threw himself at Mu Lin, hoping to buy Han Longguo a moment to escape with his own body.

But Mu Lin paid him no mind at all. With just a light bump, the middle-aged man's life was extinguished.

Han Longguo tried to run, but he couldn't move at all. A layer of frost had appeared at his feet, freezing them to the ground.

He was completely trapped.

Mu Lin closed the distance in an instant, appearing before Han Longguo in the blink of an eye.

"You're Young Master Han, right? You're the one who wanted Tao Xinxin, and you're the one who found Fei Ji?"

Han Longguo was scared to death. 'Who else but Mu Lin could possess such a terrifying aura?'

"You're Mu Lin? I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was wrong, please spare me!"

Mu Lin said coldly, "Do you think that's possible? If I could let this go so easily, would I have come here?"

"If I could let this go, would I have come looking for you? Fei Ji has already paid the price. Now, it's your turn."

"Let me tell you," Han Longguo said, "Fei Ji is a Level-1 operative! Injuring him will bring out an expert at the deputy captain level! You might not be able to beat them! If you spare me, I'll put in a good word for you. I'm very familiar with the people at the Military Suppression Bureau; I can definitely say a few nice things on your behalf."

Mu Lin laughed coldly. "Just a deputy captain? What's so interesting about that?"

'This Mu Lin is completely lawless!' Han Longguo thought. 'He actually wants to meet a captain? Is a captain someone you can just meet whenever you want?'

Mu Lin gave a cruel smile and said:

"Tell me, how can I get to meet someone at the captain level?"

"Are you crazy? A captain from the Military Suppression Bureau isn't someone you can just summon at will!"

"That's why I'm asking how to lure them out," Mu Lin said with a slight smile.

He was in no hurry. In any case, Han Longguo wasn't getting out of his grasp.

Han Longguo said with a grim face, "I don't know!"

Mu Lin said, "No, you definitely know."

He then tapped Han Longguo's body twice. Han Longguo felt a wave of numbness, and half of his body became paralyzed.

"Tell Fei Ji's captain to come see me. It has to be the captain. I'll kill anyone who shows up with a rank lower than captain."

AHH! AHH! Han Longguo let out a miserable scream. His body had actually been crippled just like that!

Although Mu Lin didn't say it outright, it was obvious that if he didn't do as Mu Lin said, his body would remain like this for the rest of his life.

As Mu Lin walked out of the Martial Arts Dojo, he received a call from Wu Henghai. "Mr. Mu, we've confirmed it. The man you killed was indeed Qiao Jinda. We've had a warrant out for his arrest for years, but there was never any trace of him. I can't believe you found him!"

Mu Lin said, "I didn't go out of my way to find him. He just came looking for trouble with me."

"Then he got what he deserved! As for Jiang Ting, his area of activity is very large, so I've handed his case over to my superiors."

"This Jiang Ting is a rich kid. He wouldn't happen to be close with other people in the Military Suppression Bureau, would he? What if he's released as soon as you hand him over?"

Wu Henghai quickly said, "You can rest assured, that won't happen!"

Mu Lin narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure? This isn't my first encounter with your Military Suppression Bureau. The Bureau hides a great deal of filth."

"How can you say that? As the old saying goes, 'where there are people, there is conflict.' For the sake of convenience, making special exceptions for special cases happens from time to time!"

Wu Henghai hurriedly tried to defend his organization.

Mu Lin sighed. It was useless to make things difficult for Wu Henghai. An organization this large was bound to have problems of one kind or another.

They couldn't be solved anytime, anywhere.

"Mr. Mu, by the way, there's something I'd like to ask your help with. We have a deputy group leader who was severely injured a few years ago. The injury left him with a deep-seated ailment, and we were hoping you might be able to treat him!"

"We will certainly not be stingy with your consultation and treatment fees!"

Mu Lin said, "Do you think I'm someone who's short on money?"

Hearing the tone in Mu Lin's voice, Wu Henghai knew he was getting irritated. He quickly said, "No, no, of course not. It's just that I hope you can help solve some problems."

Mu Lin sneered, "No need. Aside from you, I have no favorable impression of the Military Suppression Bureau. In the future, don't bring anyone to me for treatment except for your own people. It disgusts me to see them."

'This isn't good,' Wu Henghai thought. 'If this keeps up, a lot of things will become difficult to handle.'

Originally, Mu Lin could have become an unofficial asset to the Military Suppression Bureau, but now that this conflict had arisen, things were no longer so simple.

Mu Lin said, "I have other matters to attend to. We'll talk later."

Wu Henghai wanted to try and persuade him a little more, but Mu Lin had already hung up the phone.

"Sigh..."

Wu Henghai was completely baffled. Not long ago, Mu Lin had been quite friendly.

'What happened?'

Just then, a middle-aged man walked in. He was extremely frail, and his appearance alone was enough to make one break out in a cold sweat for him.

After coughing twice, he said, "Captain Wu, did you ask that Divine Doctor recommended by Ling Qiao for me?"

"Jiang Group!" Wu Henghai immediately stood at attention and gave a sharp salute.

"I just asked, but he has no intention of treating you at all."

Jiang Group was very surprised. "What the hell? Is this Divine Doctor's brain working properly? If he could cure me, I could make him ascend to the heavens in a single step, yet he actually refused."

"So he's rejecting the easy way and choosing the hard way, is that it?"

Wu Henghai didn't dare say a word and could only look at Jiang Group with an awkward expression.

Jiang Group looked back at Wu Henghai and rubbed his chin. "If he naturally looks down on the Military Suppression Bureau, then what's this business with you?"

"Could it be that someone from the Military Suppression Bureau did something crooked, he saw it, and now his attitude towards the Bureau has changed because of it?"

It was completely unexpected that the situation would turn out this way.

Wu Henghai said awkwardly, "Truly, nothing can be hidden from you."

That Jiang Group rubbed his chin, looking dejected. "Isn't that perfectly normal? With the current atmosphere in the Military Suppression Bureau, even I want to wipe them out."
