Chapter 1511 - 1526: Backup Plan

Chapter 1511: Chapter 1526: Backup Plan

"Go to hell!" Jiao Yunda roared, then fired a shot at Lin Mu.

But right after the gunshot, he was shocked to find that Lin Mu had vanished into thin air, leaving only a faint wisp of White Qi at the spot. The next second, while Jiao Yunda was still stunned, a dark shadow flashed past his eyes like lightning. Jiao Yunda had no way to dodge; his chest tightened, and Lin Mu’s Continuous Heart-piercing Kick had already slammed into his solar plexus!

Puff—he spat out a mouthful of old blood, the pistol flew from his hand, and Jiao Yunda clutched his chest and crouched on the deck, face deathly pale, looking utterly miserable!

"You’ve lost!" Lin Mu stepped forward, closing in on him one step at a time. Success was now only a few steps away; as long as he finished off Jiao Yunda, all the gold on this ship would belong to Flying Dragon.

With this treasure, the Flying Dragon Group was destined to become the most powerful enterprise in Huaxia, even surpassing Sophie’s Su’s Great Enterprise and rising into the upper ranks of the Fortune Global 500 as a top multinational conglomerate.

However, just when this dream seemed only a few simple steps away, a huge natural chasm suddenly opened up. Jiao Yunda coldly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then ripped off his shirt in one go. In an instant, a shocking scene appeared right before the eyes of Flying Dragon Sect!

He was bound with explosives all over his body, and in his right hand he was lightly pinching a small remote control!

Sure enough, his methods were vicious and his preparation thorough; he had even anticipated the possibility of his own failure. Lin Mu had to admit he was a little impressed—this guy was deep as hell, leaving no loopholes in his plans!

But impressed was impressed; the bastard still had to die! He’d dared to scheme against the dignified Wolf Fang Soldier King and had almost taken Lin Mu’s life. Someone like that absolutely could not be allowed to live; if you let a tiger back into the mountains, the consequences would be endless!

"Don’t come any closer!" Jiao Yunda shouted with a cold grin. "You definitely didn’t see this coming, did you?"

"Oh? What?" Lin Mu froze. "You want to kill yourself? You don’t think I should help you along?"

"Not just that!" Jiao Yunda smiled strangely. "Besides what’s on me, this whole ship is rigged with explosives. Originally it was meant to be a gift for Stern if the plan failed. But now... looks like I’ll let your Flying Dragon Group enjoy it instead! Hahaha..."

"You..." Lin Mu exploded with rage. Fuck, this suicidal animal wanted to die and still drag everyone else down with him!

What’s more, once this ship blew up, the several tons of gold on board would sink into the ocean, sleeping forever at the bottom of the sea. Even worse, everyone on the ship—including the masters of Flying Dragon Sect and Jiao Yunda’s subordinates—would be blasted to ashes... Lin Mu absolutely did not want this to be the final outcome, so his brain spun at high speed, trying to come up with a flawless solution!

"See this remote in my hand? As long as I press it once, the explosives on my body go off. Press it three times in a row, and this entire ship will be blown to bits... hahaha..." Jiao Yunda held the remote and laughed in smug delight.

"I’ll promise you, I’ll let you live!" Lin Mu had no choice but to stall for time. As long as this bastard didn’t blow up the ship, if he wanted to die himself, so be it—no big deal!

"Too late... too late..." Jiao Yunda muttered. He knew very well that his men had already been completely subdued by Flying Dragon Sect. Failure and death were only a matter of time, and as for himself, there was no way he could escape Lin Mu’s hunt this time!

So he steeled his heart, a vicious light flashing in his eyes, then swung his right hand up and slammed his thumb down on that tiny remote...

"No—!" Lin Mu roared and lunged at him. He wasn’t doing it just to protect that batch of gold; after all, the Flying Dragon Group was worth tens of billions. Even without this shipment, they could still stand tall in Huaxia’s business world.

What Lin Mu was worried about were his brothers of Flying Dragon Sect—Earth Wolf, Golden Wolf, Gray Wolf, even King Kong, those brothers born of life-and-death. If anything happened to any of them, it was a result Lin Mu refused to accept. So he had to stop Jiao Yunda. Before he could press the button three times, Lin Mu had already tackled him, and the two of them toppled off the bow together into the water. But before they hit the sea, Jiao Yunda had already pressed the button twice in succession, so the explosives on his own body were triggered!

A series of booming explosions roared up from under the water, and the bodies of Lin Mu and Jiao Yunda instantly vanished into the thick smoke!

"Brother Lin..."

"Boss..."

Earth Wolf, Gray Wolf, King Kong and the others all rushed to the side of the ship, shouting loudly down at the water.

There was no movement in the sea at all. They all knew very well that falling into the water with a walking bomb like Jiao Yunda left almost zero chance of survival. Tears silently welled up and fell; these men, all hardened killers with blood on their hands, actually had tears streaming down their faces one by one!

"I’m going in to save Brother Lin!" Earth Wolf was the first to react, leaping into the surging sea.

"I’m going too!" Golden Wolf untied his long monk’s robe and jumped in right after.

Then Gray Wolf also dove in, while King Kong stayed alone on deck. After all, the ship was loaded with gold; at least one top fighter had to stay and guard it.

About an hour later, a booming laugh floated up from below—Gray Wolf’s ****-sounding laugh. "Hahaha, I told you, the boss’s life is tough as iron. No way he’d die that easy!"

Then Earth Wolf’s fat head broke the surface of the water. "The boss would never leave us! Heh heh!"

King Kong looked down and saw the three of them lugging Lin Mu’s body, swimming with all their might toward the side of the ship.

"Get ready!" King Kong quickly tossed down a long rope. "Tie the end tight, I’ll haul you up!"

"Heh heh, got it!"

Luckily King Kong had stayed on the ship. This guy’s body was tougher than an ox’s; hauling four people up by himself, he actually pulled all of them aboard with ease.

Once they dragged Lin Mu onto the deck, they realized he’d only suffered minor injuries. His head had taken a blast that gave him a concussion, so he was unconscious, but with Lin Mu’s freakish recovery rate, this kind of injury wouldn’t be a big problem!

But just as everyone was about to set sail for home, they discovered several large ships around them, fanning out as they moved in for the encirclement.

"Damn, not good! Stern and his people must’ve caught up!" Earth Wolf was the first to react.

"What do we do?" King Kong asked.

With Flying Dragon’s boss Lin Mu unconscious, the relatively clear-headed Gray Wolf became the temporary commander. He thought for a moment. "Everyone, calm down. First priority is to ensure the boss’s safety. Even if this batch of gold gets taken, we’ll just swallow it. After all, this stuff belonged to them in the first place."

"No," King Kong objected. "Brother Lin practically staked his life to get this. For Brother Lin’s sake, I’m bringing this gold home no matter what!"

"King Kong, don’t be impulsive," Golden Wolf advised. "Amitabha Buddha, money and wealth are external things. Life is what truly matters..."
