Chapter 1598 - 1612: Murder?

Chapter 1598: Chapter 1612: Murder?

Liu Ah Zhen’s face was flushed red, but it was unclear if it was from excitement or being provoked by Lin Mu’s remark about the "yellow-haired lass."

"Alright, let’s just leave it at that for today. I’ve got friends on the other side, I’ll head over there first."

Lin Mu stood up, too lazy to look at the three kids anymore, and walked out. However, just as Bai Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Mu suddenly stopped, turned around seriously, and said, "Remember, change your alias later. Bai Wuchang, huh, you think you can go by Bai Wuchang?"

"Yes, yes, Big Brother is right. From now on, I’ll change my name to..."

"Watermelon, it sounds much more endearing! And it feels so familiar too."

Lin Mu’s friendly suggestion left the newcomer of the Pearl River Delta dumbfounded, her little face twisted as though she were a constipated patient...

Back in the private room, Zhu Xiaoli was singing. No one knew what self-proclaimed love expert chatted with Lei Xiaojiao about during all this time. In any case, the policewoman was noticeably more cheerful. When she saw Lin Mu come in, she playfully winked and teased, "Took you long enough to take a restroom break, don’t tell me you’ve got prostate issues."

"Eh, how did you know? My god, you’re actually peeping at me while I pee!" Lin Mu dramatically covered his chest feigning embarrassment.

"Who’s interested in peeping at you, shameless." Lei Xiaojiao spat lightly.

As if through natural tacit understanding, neither of them brought up the matter again. They drank, danced, and with Zhu Xiaoli hogging the mic, Lei Xiaojiao had no choice but to hang out with Lin Mu. It turns out, women who can become criminal police have extraordinary drinking capacities. When Lei Xiaojiao drank beer, it seemed like she was just drinking water for fun. Of course, this was just a metaphor. In front of someone like Lin Mu, who’s shameless enough to cheat even when playing dice, even a drinking champion like Lei Xiaojiao might find it hard to escape defeat! After an hour, they downed two dozen beers, and even the new bottle of red wine was almost empty.

Lin Mu hadn’t had time to feel smug yet when the half-drunken Lei Xiaojiao suddenly dragged him to sing a duet of "Yearning in the Wind and Rain"! Thus, the shortcoming of the Wolf Fang Soldier King was starkly exposed in front of everyone, his completely off-tune broken singing notes made the two girls laugh so hard they nearly choked.

Lin Mu wanted to cry but had no tears, feeling like his glass heart shattered into pieces. Of course, the night was quite enjoyable. When Zhu Xiaoli wanted to pay the bill, she was informed by the reception that Mr. Lin’s room was free of charge. This result made her view Lin Mu in a new light. She often came to the Supreme International Club; though the environment wasn’t top-notch, she had never heard of them offering a free bill proactively. This clearly showcased his extensive connections.

Lin Mu wasn’t aware that, in Zhu Xiaoli’s eyes, he had transformed into the ultimate eligible bachelor, a top-notch diamond Mr. Right. At this moment, he was trying to support a drunken Lei Xiaojiao, her behavior clearly leaning towards drunken antics. If it weren’t for Lin Mu’s quick reflexes, the cars in the neighborhood might all have been kicked by her. It took a mighty effort to finally get Lei Xiaojiao onto the bed. Just as Lin Mu was about to slip away, a pair of soft arms snaked around him.

"Dear lady, it’s late, let’s not cause trouble, alright?"

"Who, who’s causing trouble? I just want to say a few words to you."

Zhu Xiaoli saw this, gave a mysterious smile, and retreated with a cheeky grin as Lin Mu watched helplessly, even closing the door behind her.

The room instantly fell silent, the air laced with a faint fragrance, just like Lei Xiaojiao’s scent, very pleasant. Lin Mu swallowed, suppressing the passionate spark igniting in his heart, said, "Xiao Jiao, can we talk tomorrow?"

"No!" Lei Xiaojiao shook her head, her body tilted, unexpectedly lying on Lin Mu’s leg. Her charming and beautiful face had a hint of drunken blush, her large watery eyes blinking, she raised her head lightly, her voice slightly trembling with anticipation, "Lin Mu, do you, do you like me?"

"Damn, isn’t the plot progressing a bit too fast?"

Lin Mu felt his throat somewhat parched. Lei Xiaojiao was surely a beauty, an extremely beautiful type indeed. Her face was exquisitely lovely, her figure was hot and sexy, and her profession fulfilled the ultimate fantasy of many unscrupulous men.

To say Lin Mu didn’t like her would definitely be a lie. Men, after all, are visual creatures; wouldn’t they be tempted when seeing a stunning beauty? But Lei Xiaojiao’s sudden direct question caught Lin Mu off guard. After a prolonged internal struggle of 0.37 seconds, he nodded with difficulty, "Like!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

Lei Xiaojiao’s gaze instantly became soft and tender, "Then for me, can you be a good person?"

The plump red lips, so close, exhaled breath laced with fragrance and wine, brushing against Lin Mu’s face. He swallowed and softly replied, "Okay." Lei Xiaojiao’s lovely face instantly blossomed into an enchanting smile, Lin Mu could no longer resist the impulse and lowered his head to kiss her, resulting in...

"No way!" Watching Lei Xiaojiao with her eyes closed, sporting a happy smile at the corners of her mouth yet already falling into dreamland, Lin Mu’s lips twitched, utterly frustrated. As the saying goes, a fall into the pit, a gain in wisdom; having learned from Ling Xiaoqiao’s experience, Lin Mu dared not linger in Lei Xiaojiao’s room longer. After greeting the eavesdropping Zhu Xiaoli, he left the place the two of them had rented.

The next day, after escorting Sophie and Song Yanan to the company and making secret arrangements, Lin Mu skipped work without worries and drove to the iPhone exclusive store, naturally to see Ling Xiaoqiao.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the store, he didn’t see Ling Xiaoqiao, nor was the pimply salesperson there, but several girls were whispering together.

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, did Xiao Xiao come to work today?" Lin Mu asked as he approached.

"And you are?"

"I’m her friend."

"Then you better go and see. She got into trouble! I saw a lot of police when I passed by Binhe Road this morning, outside the little yard she rented, I heard there was a murder case, so bloody, so terrifying." A girl spoke with a pale face, clearly scared out of her wits. Lin Mu’s expression changed, and without stopping to ask more, he turned and ran outside.

He sped all the way, running through several red lights, racing to Binhe Road.

This was an urban village, conditions were poor, but the rent was cheap, so many young people working in the Pearl River Delta chose to live here. Running a few steps in, he indeed saw three police cars parked outside a small yard. Many people were gathered at the entrance, craning to look inside.

"Such an evil act, who is so vicious, not even sparing a little girl."
