Chapter 1473: Chapter 1488: Someone Is Poaching

"Haha! Too kind, too kind!" Lin Mu let out a burst of smug laughter.

Just then, Ah Fang’s phone rang. She rolled over and took out her flashy gold iPhone 7 from her bag.

Glancing at the incoming call, Ah Fang answered.

"Hey, Brother Zhong, me? Oh, I’m shopping at the mall. Got it, I’ll head back right away. Mhm, okay, bye-bye, muah..."

Ah Fang babbled on the phone with some syrupy nonsense and then hung up. Lin Mu understood; as for such women, Lin Mu didn’t mind—after all, they’re women of the world, with money anyone can have them.

After hanging up, Ah Fang looked at Lin Mu and said, "Today’s events mustn’t be mentioned—pretend nothing happened."

Lin Mu laughed, "Of course, even if I told anyone, nobody would care, right? Plus, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to shout about it on the streets."

"That’s good, okay, I’m leaving now. From now on, we’re strangers to each other," Ah Fang said as she got up and dressed.

Obviously, Lin Mu didn’t have much to miss; in fact, he was just looking for a bit of excitement, enjoying a taste of the wild.

After dressing, Ah Fang left, while Lin Mu lay alone in bed. Feeling sleepy after a drink, he fell asleep. By the time Lin Mu woke up, it was dark.

Lin Mu called Zhou Xun, and the two went out for a bite together. After the call, Lin Mu dressed and left the hotel. The hotel was not far from where Lin Mu stayed, a five-minute walk. So just as Lin Mu reached the hotel entrance, Zhou Xun came out from the lobby.

"Brother Lin." Zhou Xun called out to Lin Mu and approached with a grin.

"Let’s go, grab something to eat." Lin Mu smiled and said.

"Okay, let’s go." Zhou Xun linked arms with Lin Mu and headed toward the food street.

The food street wasn’t far, just a walk across one road. Upon reaching it, the crowd surged—indeed, the food street was a great moneymaker, lots of people equals lots of resources!

Lin Mu found a relatively clean dining spot and sat down, ordering some lamb skewers, a local specialty.

Lin Mu and Zhou Xun chatted as they savored the fragrant bites.

"Brother Lin, how did things go today at Meiwei Entertainment Company?" Zhou Xun said while eating.

"Gave Boss Bai of Meiwei Entertainment a good thrashing, and then the fool called the cops and I ended up in the police station. But it’s fine, Jiao Yunda bailed me out." Lin Mu said with a smile.

"He helped again, huh?" Zhou Xun remarked.

"Haha, yes!" Lin Mu chuckled, "That Young Master Jiao isn’t bad. Every time I ask for his help, I feel a bit guilty."

"Brother Lin, I always feel there’s something... off about Jiao Yunda." Zhou Xun said.

"What, unusual? How?" Lin Mu asked.

"I can’t say for sure, but there’s definitely a weird vibe." Zhou Xun said.

"Alright, stop overthinking it. Regardless of who he is, he’s helped us, and that’s worth thanking." Lin Mu said.

"I know, it’s just something feels off, but I can’t figure out why." Zhou Xun said.

"Okay, don’t think too much, overall he’s quite decent, and I’ve discussed a partnership with him. Overall, I’ve had no bad impressions!" Lin Mu said.

"I didn’t say he’s bad, in fact, he’s pretty nice—it’s just something doesn’t sit right." Zhou Xun said.

"Maybe you’ve got a bit of a hang-up about rich brats. It’s alright, eat more." Lin Mu laughed.

"Mhm, you eat more too!" Zhou Xun chuckled.

While Lin Mu and Zhou Xun were eating and chatting, a few staggering, clearly drunk thugs swaggered over.

"Hey, this little missy looks good, she’s really pretty!" One of the thugs, swaying, pointed at Zhou Xun.

"Yeah, she’s really damn pretty; let’s get closer, boys." Another thug said.

"Let’s go check her out!"

"Come on, let’s go over together!"

The thugs said as they approached Lin Mu’s table.

Once there, a thug with a dyed chicken crown hairstyle plopped himself into an empty chair, gazing at Zhou Xun with gleaming eyes.

Zhou Xun sat, completely ignoring the chicken crown thug—it was like looking at flies, utterly repulsive, enough to spoil one’s appetite. Of course, with Lin Mu there, Zhou Xun felt no fear, as she believed in Lin Mu’s ability to handle any situation, especially with a few mere punks.

"Little miss, you’re quite Water Spirit-like, wanna let me keep you company tonight?" Chicken Crown thug said lewdly to Zhou Xun, eyes only on her, treating Lin Mu like air.
