Chapter 158: Chapter 149: Mysterious LadyActually, she had no choice. The Su Family had no male heirs, and the vast agricultural business all fell on her delicate shoulders. If she didn’t take it on, who else could she rely on? "Are you asking how I feel?" Lin Mu couldn’t help but daydream, "Happy... wonderful... and my heart’s racing a little!" "I think I feel a bit too..." "Uh... well then, there’s still one more chance. I’ll save it for next time to kiss you. Don’t forget, you still owe me a kiss!" Lin Mu pointed at Sophie and said. "Boring! Why not finish it in one go?" Sophie let out a dissatisfied whine, got up, and walked to her desk to start reviewing company documents. In Sophie’s heart, the only important thing is work, and to manage Su’s Great Enterprise to become stronger and stronger! ... This is how Lin Mu passed another idle day until it was getting dark, and he received a call from Xiong Jian. "Lin Mu, are you free tonight?" Xiong Jian sounded very cheerful on the call. "Don’t ask if I’m free!" Lin Mu said casually, "Just tell me what’s up. If I say I’m free, and you come to borrow money, what then? If I say I’m busy, and you want to invite me to dinner, what then?" "Such a sly guy!" Xiong Jian said on the other end, "Alright, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!" "Huh, you came into some money, didn’t you? Why the sudden invite?" Lin Mu said on the call. "Of course it’s not without reason! I need to thank you for helping me catch the Corpse Emperor and retrieve half of an important personnel list. I also received a reward from my superiors for it, so naturally, I have to treat you to drinks to show my gratitude, or else I’d be too dishonorable!" Xiong Jian said. "Oh, that makes sense. Where are you? I’ll come find you!" "I just got out of the police station. There’s a good restaurant nearby. Come over and let’s eat here." Xiong Jian said. "Alright, wait for me!" Lin Mu hung up the phone, notified Sophie, and then drove towards the Wancheng Police Station. Arriving at the restaurant across from the station, Lin Mu parked the car by the roadside, got out, and immediately saw Xiong Jian standing in front of the restaurant. "Lin Mu!" Xiong Jian called out from the entrance, waving at Lin Mu. Lin Mu responded and walked over. "Come on, let’s go inside and chat." Xiong Jian put his arm around Lin Mu’s shoulders and walked into the restaurant. In the restaurant, Lin Mu and Xiong Jian found a seat by the window, called the waiter, ordered a few dishes, got a few bottles of beer, and started chatting! "Damn, what perks did your boss give you? Shouldn’t you share half with me?" Lin Mu joked while holding a cigarette. "Haha, they didn’t give me much, just a second-class merit and a promotion in rank. If you want me to share half with you, I can. Just join my special forces, and I’ll give you a team leader position, how about that?" "Ah, fated never to be an official. I’m used to being free and easy; I can’t stand the restraints of the military. How great it is to drink and eat freely like this, how relaxing, how enjoyable!" Lin Mu said, spreading his hands. "Haha, but seeing your skills, you must have a military background, right? Seems pretty extraordinary!" Xiong Jian asked. "Yes, I’ve been in the army for a few years. Knowing the pains of being a soldier, I refuse to re-enter the barracks. Too many ’turtle rules’, and I hate ’turtle rules’ the most!" Lin Mu said, stretching. "This guy!" Xiong Jian smiled, shaking his head helplessly. The waiter served the dishes, and the two continued chatting while eating. Although Xiong Jian was a team leader in the special forces, a leading figure, at the rank of major, he wasn’t condescending, which Lin Mu quite liked. Not like others, where even a minor official thinks they are better than others! Precisely because the two were unrestrained and without any pretensions, the conversation flowed happily! At this moment, a soft voice came from the entrance. Hearing the voice, Lin Mu couldn’t help looking up, seeing two graceful and elegant women enter and sit in a spot against the wall. "Waiter, bring some small dishes first!" Lin Mu looked at the two beauties and slightly frowned, sensing a strong aura emanating from them, one with an implied killing intent. Instinctively, Lin Mu determined both women were skilled martial artists! Lin Mu was unconsciously drawn to the two beauties. The woman in white said to the woman in pink, "Meimei, when do you plan to take action?" The woman in pink, called Meimei, was indeed named Guo Meimei, and the other was her close friend, Zhou Furong. "Let’s observe for a while and strike when the time is right. This time, we must succeed. Last time at the exhibition, she survived, lucky her! This time, we must kill her in one blow, no chance for survival again!" Zhou Furong’s voice carried an implicit killing intent. Their conversation, though very soft, was crystal clear to Lin Mu, a superpower user with particularly keen hearing! "Exhibition?" Lin Mu was puzzled upon hearing these words. What connection did these two women have with the exhibition? Could it be that the injury the Corpse Emperor suffered last time was due to them? Lin Mu raised questions about their conversation! He then gave Xiong Jian a look, "Look behind you!" Xiong Jian glanced back, then nonchalantly punched Lin Mu on the arm, "Damn, your eyes go straight when you see beauties. I’m telling you, don’t let my sister down, or else don’t blame me for turning against you!" "Damn, I’m not telling you to look at beauties!" Lin Mu said, feeling troubled, "I’m asking if you think those two women seem like good people?" "They seem like good people, but you don’t seem like one!" Xiong Jian laughed. "Damn, I’m serious, no joking around. I vaguely sensed a killing aura from them!" Lin Mu said. Xiong Jian frowned, "I also have a bit of that feeling. These two women are not simple!" Looking at Zhou Furong and Guo Meimei who were eating, Lin Mu said, "I also feel they’re not simple. From their earlier conversation, they seemed to be involved in the Corpse Emperor getting hurt at the exhibition!" Xiong Jian glanced back at the two, then said, "That matter is over anyway. Since they’re not allies of the Corpse Emperor, we don’t really need to get involved." Lin Mu nodded, "You have a point. Don’t look too much; they seem to have noticed us."

Zhou Furong and Guo Meimei gave a wary glance towards Lin Mu and Xiong Jian, quickly finished a few bites, paid the bill, and swiftly left the restaurant!
