Chapter 1615: Chapter 1629: Trap Queen

The Underground Hunter Organization has ten branches in Huaxia, responsible for handling affairs in twenty-three provinces, five autonomous regions, and four municipalities directly under the central government. Although they present a united front externally, internally it is rife with plotting and strife.

The "Saint Selection" was originally a competition for selecting talented youth within the Underground Hunter Organization, but in this environment, its nature has changed. Rising stars from the ten divisions will compete fiercely for interests, fame, status, and wealth. Those who are careless will find themselves bleeding out, dead without a whole body. Therefore, the Saint Selection has come to be known as the ’Death Tournament’ over the years, and those who achieve rankings are often geniuses cultivated by powerful divisions.

Master Lan only has the province of Dongguang, his influence ranking near the bottom among the ten divisions. With his limited resources, aiming to succeed in the Saint Selection is indeed like climbing a mountain.

"Are you sure that with the Purifying Void Pill you can solve Sophie’s problem?"

"Absolutely." Master Lan nodded, a faint spark of light passing through his murky old eyes.

"Then, let’s proceed according to your idea."

Pausing for a moment, Lin Mu sighed, his expression full of helplessness.

Life is a series of compromises; though unwilling to step into the muddy waters of the Underground Hunter Organization, he can only head towards danger for Sophie’s sake.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pearl River Delta, Lei Xiaojiao absentmindedly punched the sandbag.

"Phone’s off, texts unanswered, could he be hiding from me on purpose because he’s with another woman?"

Zhu Xiaoli munched on potato chips, watching TV intently. Hearing this, she casually remarked, "Stop overthinking, maybe your Mr. Lin got into a car accident!"

"Watch your words, would you? He hasn’t done anything to you." Lei Xiaojiao complained, taking off her gloves.

"Oh, so protective already, what happens if you’ve slept with him? If I say something bad about him, won’t you just silence me?" Zhu Xiaoli teased, licking her fingers playfully.

"What sleeping together, can’t you think of something pure for once?"

"Hmph, what’s there between men and women besides those trivial matters... Fine, don’t hit me, I won’t say it anymore, alright?" Zhu Xiaoli sighed, shaking her head in disapproval, "Really scared of you. He isn’t coming to you, can’t you go find him? You know where Lin Mu works."

"Bah, as if I want to see him."

Lei Xiaojiao spat lightly, cheeks slightly red, muttering, "Besides, why should I go find him?"

"Come on, he’s a diamond bachelor, wealthy, good-looking, capable, and well-connected. How could he ever lack women? And you? An aging young woman, jobless at home, with a bad temper, always kicking people. There’s nothing feminine about you. In this situation, if you don’t know how to take the initiative, tsk, are you crazy?"

Lei Xiaojiao said bitterly, "So according to you, I don’t have any merits, right?"

"You do." Zhu Xiaoli gazed seriously for a moment, saying, "At least your face is nice, and your assets are big..."

"Go to hell." Unable to hold back any longer, Lei Xiaojiao angrily jumped forward...

The next day, the gentle breeze blew outside, sunlight was bright, with birds and magpies singing on green trees, expressing their longing and satisfaction with life and love.

Inside, there were also a pair, a man and a woman, Sophie reluctantly handling the discharge procedures for Lin Mu.

"Surely the air outside is better, staying in that place for two more days and I’d grow green hair."

"What are you, a turtle, growing green hair?" Sophie sneered, snatching the soda from Lin Mu’s hand, saying angrily, "The wound hasn’t healed well, why drink random drinks? Cherish your body, will you?"

"Geez, is the sun rising from the west? Since when did the wicked capitalist learn to care?"

"Get lost, I’m afraid you’ll die in the car and it’ll be unclear, with it all pinned on me."

Watching Sophie’s eyebrows rise and eyes open wide in anger, Lin Mu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself, "That’s more like it. The sudden diligence was unsettling."

"...You’re really something."

Sophie angrily turned the steering wheel, driving into Su’s Great Enterprise’s underground parking lot.

Seeing the beautiful CEO open the trunk, pulling out luggage, Lin Mu was at a loss, asking, "What are you doing?"

"I want to live in the office for a few days, do you have a problem?"

"Not that, why leave a perfectly good villa to live in the office?" Lin Mu scratched his head, worriedly saying, "Is it a hormone imbalance causing metabolic disorder, affecting your brain?"

"You’re the one whose brain is affected, hurry up and move the stuff!" Sophie stomped her foot angrily, "Honestly, is that how you protect people? Always infuriating, it’s better I’d hired Do Min-joon as my bodyguard instead."

"Oh please, that Goryeo pretty boy is nothing compared to my brilliance. If you hired him, he’d be long gone by now."

Lin Mu sneered, thinking women are notorious for asking for the impossible. Such a habit must not be indulged.

Suddenly, a rich fragrance blew past, and from behind the car, a red figure appeared, with a voice that sent chills down one’s spine resounding in the parking lot: "Oh dear, Sister Feifei, where have you been? People have missed you so much."

The suddenly appearing young man evidently embodied the profession of drag queen to perfection, leaving no room for expansion.

He wore a red long-sleeved cardigan, revealing a fair chest, and shorts that ended at the calves with crystal sandals, toenails painted a painful pink. His delicate oval face was pale with makeup, his small eyes lined with blue becoming extraordinarily enchanting.

"My heavens."

Lin Mu swallowed, stunned by the young man’s dainty gesture and exaggerated swaying posture.

"Hehe, it’s Wuque, are you planning to go out?"

Sophie’s brow twitched twice, finally squeezing out a smile, speaking.

"No, I’m pondering that if Sister returns, she’d definitely take the elevator from the parking lot, so I came to wait."

The young man conjured a round fan like a magic trick, gently waving it, his voice filled with yearning, "Sister Feifei, you’re so heartless, leaving me behind, and going away for so many days, making me lose my appetite and sleep, recently my skin’s been worsening a lot."

"It’s sister’s fault, I won’t do it again next time." Sophie twisted her lips, seeing the young man about to speak again, quickly saying, "Hey, Wuque, a new beauty salon opened on Changjing Road, they do great care there, good thing I have a VIP voucher here that’s expiring soon, why not give it a try?"
