Chapter 1637: Chapter 1650: Hidden Danger

"I like it now, is that okay?"

Sophie was quite helpless with someone as shameless as this. Fighting him was useless; scolding him was a waste of breath. She wanted to fire him, but couldn’t bring herself to do it. After all, Su’s Great Enterprise owed much to Lin Mu’s efforts. Sophie asked herself if she could really do something so treacherous as crossing the river and tearing down the bridge...

"Sure, why not?" Lin Mu’s eyes flashed slightly as he stretched lazily, yawning while walking into the small bedroom. Sophie was taken aback and hurried after him, only to see the rascal swiftly removing his shoes and socks, and coat, leaving him only in his boxers as he brazenly slipped into her bed.

"Oh, Feifei’s bed is truly different; so soft to lie on, and there’s a fragrance in the quilt."

"Get up!"

Sophie was furious, reaching out to pinch Lin Mu’s ear, but he was already prepared, raising both hands and burying his head under the covers, saying in a muffled voice, "I’m sleepy. Let me rest for a while, will you?"

"Idiot, it’s work hours..."

"It’s because it’s work hours that I’m sleeping here. If others see me, wouldn’t it look bad?"

"Lin Mu, if you keep messing around, I will really get angry!" Sophie’s expression darkened, and she hit his head forcefully through the quilt. Unexpectedly, Lin Mu started snoring like a dead pig. The beautiful CEO’s face turned white with anger, yet she couldn’t do anything about it. Just then, the phone rang outside, the call automatically connecting as the secretary’s voice came through. Sophie had to stomp her foot and hurriedly left, making sure to lock the door tightly.

During work hours, managers and employees came to the office one after another. If anyone saw Lin Mu snoring away on her bed, who knows how many rumors and gossip would spread.

Hearing the door movement, Lin Mu rolled up and got out of bed, then started rummaging around in the small bedroom. Since Sophie had moved here temporarily, naturally, she had brought many personal items. Checking the suitcase, jewelry box, dressing table, and even the bathroom toiletries, Lin Mu frowned and returned to the bed.

Things seemed to be going wrong. Although from the outside Sophie didn’t seem much different, her inner fashion sense was rapidly veering to the opposite extreme: ultra-thin black Victoria lingerie, black crystal hairpieces, black rubber hairbands, even changing the previously conservative nude stockings to sexy, seductive ultra-thin black silk...

There might only be two explanations for such a situation. First, the woman outside might be dominated by a second personality. But this possibility is slim. You can tell the difference in how they treat Lin Mu, unless the person is a superb actor. Second, Sophie might have been influenced by the second personality, quietly changing her preferences.

This is clearly an alarming signal. A person’s preferences don’t change drastically from one extreme to the other in such a short time; it’s not just a change but a complete replacement.

Worried, Lin Mu called Master Lan, exchanging a few words. Just as expected, Master Lan was equally baffled by this situation.

"Looks like we’ll have to hope for the Purifying Yang Powder," he muttered after hanging up, gloomily laying on the bed and, breathing in Sophie’s subtle fragrance, somehow drifted into a deep sleep...

Outside Yunhai Mansion, the blazing sun scorched the earth and a Chevrolet parked under the shade.

"The thing isn’t in the company." Wuque took off his purple sunglasses, with a cold gaze directed at the elderly woman beside him.

"Impossible, you’ve searched everywhere?"

"Hmph, I looked through Sophie’s computer, her safe, and every corner of the office that might hide something—there’s nothing!"

The young man named "Wuque" frowned, impatiently saying, "Nanny Wang, my patience is limited. If you keep playing tricks, I’m afraid your son’s life will be in danger."

"Please don’t harm Wuque, he has nothing to do with this matter." Panic flashed in the elderly woman’s eyes, she said, "I really haven’t lied. When Su Jingsheng was around, that thing was either hidden in the company or the Zhongshan Villa. The Su Family was very cautious, and would never put it in a bank safe or elsewhere..."

"Enough, don’t say more. I don’t have time to waste here." ’Wuque’ squinted slightly, pulling a vial of colorless liquid from her purse and dropping it into Nanny Wang’s lap, coldly saying, "Think of a way to trick Sophie and Lin Mu into the villa, then mix this into their food."

"What’s this? Remember our agreement—you’re allowed to take the thing, but you cannot harm Miss Feifei." Nanny Wang’s face turned pale, her voice sharply rising.

"Relax, it’s just a concentrated special drug that will leave them weak and powerless after consumption." Wuque squinted, speaking with a sinister undertone, "It’s meant to deal with Lin Mu. Hmph, that guy has ruined my plans several times. This time, no matter what, I must eliminate him..."

Sophie angrily wiped her lips, fighting the urge to grab a pair of scissors nearby and cut Lin Mu into bits. She picked up the clothes from the floor, throwing them at his face, and stormed out, not wanting to stay a moment longer, "Get up and accompany me to the auction!"

"Auction? What for! Charity events, the damn thing is nothing but scams, using the names of underprivileged children and cancer patients to line their own pockets. If we have that money, why not directly build a few hope schools or a treatment center? You could be the head, and I’ll be the vice-head..."
