Chapter 1502: Chapter 1517: Troublemakers

"Hehe, the other day you mentioned investigating the Stern Family, do you have any results now?" Lin Mu grinned and asked.

"Yeah, I do, I was just about to tell you about it!" Sophie replied.

"Hehe, that’s perfect, go ahead and tell me now!" Lin Mu said.

"The Stern Family is indeed in the gold business, that’s correct, but they also secretly deal in arms. Also, you should be wary of Jiao Yunda, he’s done quite a few shady things in the background. Do you remember what you said about the Wei Family a few days ago?" Sophie asked.

"I remember, the Wei Family was competing with Jiao Yunda in the gold market, so I helped Jiao Yunda eliminate most of the Wei Family’s forces. Is there an issue with that?" Lin Mu asked.

"Hehe, actually, according to the intel I have, the relationship between the Wei Family and the Stern Family is nowhere near as good as that between the Jiao Family and the Stern Family. The deal you mentioned between the Wei Family and Stern was orchestrated by Jiao Yunda. He deliberately got the Wei Family to contact Stern to make this deal, and then he used your hand to weaken the Wei Family’s strength!" Sophie explained.

"I actually already knew, Jiao Yunda is no good!" Lin Mu said.

"You’ve known all along? What do you mean?" Sophie asked, puzzled.

"Jiao Yunda is trying to mess with me, and I found out. Of course, it’s not something that can be explained in a few words. Anyway, he wants to deal with me, but I’m not sure why. I suppose I’ll figure it out soon. I called to confirm if the Stern Family is indeed in the gold business. Since they are, I’m relieved." Lin Mu chuckled.

"Are you planning to cause trouble in the gold business?" Sophie asked.

"Hehe, who knows me better than my woman! Feifei, you understand me the best. Now I feel compelled to stir up trouble; after all, if I didn’t, Jiao Yunda would eventually take action against me. From the intel you provided, he’s definitely not going to make money with me happily! Hmph, thank goodness I discovered it in time, or I wouldn’t know how long I’d be used by Jiao Yunda." Lin Mu was annoyed as he spoke, realizing a former soldier like him was being used as a tool, and they still pulled this marriage stunt involving Ah Fang!

As for why Jiao Yunda orchestrated this farce with Ah Fang, Lin Mu was also quite puzzled. Yeah? Why did Jiao Yunda do this, and what was his purpose?

Lin Mu had a series of questions, but now that Ah Fang was on his side, he believed he would soon understand why Jiao Yunda acted this way.

"Oh, and one more thing, be careful of Liu Yuye. She’s in cahoots with Jiao Yunda, you get what I mean?" Sophie reminded him.

"Hehe, I understand, no worries." Lin Mu replied, finally understanding the situation clearly.

"Alright, that’s it for now. I have some things to attend to, I’ll call you if anything comes up." Sophie said.

"Alright, hanging up now." Lin Mu responded.

After hanging up, Lin Mu stretched lazily, then casually pulled out a cigarette to light it.

"So, how’s it going?" Zhou Xun asked beside him.

"It’s confirmed, the Stern Family is indeed in the gold business. It seems the gold trade is real. Jiao Yunda probably wants to use me, but I’m no pushover. Anyone trying to take advantage of me will end up getting bitten back." Lin Mu grinned.

"Brother Lin, take care." Zhou Xun said worriedly.

"Hehe, rest assured, I’m very confident. Up until now, nobody born can handle me!" Lin Mu smiled confidently, showing a gleaming set of teeth. Although a bit cocky, it was quite manly.

"Show-off." Zhou Xun lightly punched Lin Mu.

"We haven’t eaten yet. Let’s go out for a meal; dinner’s on me." Lin Mu laughed.

"Now that’s more like it." Zhou Xun laughed.

The two left the room together, arm in arm, heading to the hotel’s buffet. The buffet offered quite a variety of food, with everything imaginable from land, sea, and air. With Lin Mu’s ravenous appetite, he could definitely eat enough to make the owner lose money!

After dinner, Zhou Xun suggested catching a movie together. Lin Mu, having nothing else to do, agreed to go with him to a movie. But just as they decided, a group of tall and burly guys approached.

The thugs had a cold-blooded look, clearly not good people. Passersby avoided them like they were trying to dodge flies.

It was evident the thugs were coming for Lin Mu and Zhou Xun. Lin Mu had already noticed this as well.

"Damn, another bunch of flies coming to bother me." Lin Mu said, annoyed.

Soon, the thugs stood in front of Lin Mu, their faces cold, eyes showing a fierce expression.

"You’re Lin Mu, right?" asked a thug standing in front.

This was a line Lin Mu was tired of hearing. They clearly knew his identity but still pretended to ask. Were these idiots brain-dead or did they get their heads caught in a door?

Of course, Lin Mu wouldn’t bother answering their dimwitted question. Speaking with such petty people would be beneath him. He’s at a soldier king level; what right does a bunch of thugs have to even talk to him?

"Hehe, no, I’m your father." Lin Mu chuckled at the thug.

The thug’s face darkened at Lin Mu’s response, "You dare insult me!"

Lin Mu shrugged innocently and said, "No, you asked if I’m Lin Mu? Don’t you know yourself? So I don’t get it, are you stupid or just pretending to be?"

"You..." The thug was infuriated by Lin Mu’s words.

Lin Mu continued, "Also, I believe you’ve come to the wrong place. You flies should be in the bathroom eating shit right now."

It was truly intolerable. Facing a dozen strong men alone, he still laughed so casually and spoke so piercingly. Clearly, this guy was asking for trouble!

The thugs could no longer hold back the urge to fight! Without launching an attack, they were already humiliated by him. Since they couldn’t win with words, they would have to use force against Lin Mu.

Of course, if they knew how terrifyingly skilled the person in front of them was, and how powerful his background was, even if they had two guts each, they wouldn’t dare to come and embarrass themselves!
