Chapter 20 - 12: This World Is Really Small

Chapter 20: Chapter 12: This World Is Really SmallSophie took a refreshing shower and felt completely at ease. By this time, Lin Mu had stopped his nosebleed. Seeing the beautiful woman emerge with wet hair, he quickly fetched a towel and approached her with a sly smile, saying, "All done with your shower? Let me help you dry off!" "Hm, I’ll do it myself!" Sophie took the towel. "Lin Mu, I’m heading to work now. You can choose to stay and get some more sleep, or go chat with Grandpa Su, but remember, you’re still in your probation period, so don’t expect to live with me!" "Damn, a girl’s heart really changes like the weather in June, changing just like that! We were just chatting all sweet and cozy, and now her expression has turned as cold as ice. "Grandpa Su said you don’t need to go to work? Aren’t there people who do things for you?" "He was talking about Xiaowan. That girl is smart and capable, but if I’m not around, the company can get chaotic!" As Sophie explained, she went to the dressing room to change. "Alright then," Lin Mu said reluctantly, "I won’t disturb Grandpa Su. Actually, I’ve got places to be, the old man arranged it long ago!" "Fine then, after you’re settled, don’t forget to report to Su’s Company. You’re going to be my personal bodyguard now!" "Got it!" Of course, he wouldn’t forget. The old man arranged his trip with the intention for him to protect this young Miss of the Su Family! But Lin Mu is actually a native of Dongguan. In Wancheng’s bustling Chang’an District, there’s a Lin Family villa, which is where Lin Mu spent his childhood. However, over a decade had passed, and due to some incident with his parents, Lin Mu hadn’t returned to this home. Furthermore, Wancheng’s urban planning had changed the city’s appearance in recent years. Thanks to the old man giving him the latest address, Lin Mu wouldn’t get lost. Leaving Sophie’s villa and following the old man’s address, Lin Mu successfully found the villa in the Chang’an Riverside District. Taking out a somewhat rusty key, he easily unlocked the villa’s door. As he walked inside, he thought to himself how the place hadn’t been lived in for over ten years, wondering how messy it might be, and how thick the dust on the floor could be, perhaps the furniture and kitchenware had rusted and broken down? Oh well, since he’s back, he figured he’d just buy whatever was missing later. As he was thinking, he unknowingly wandered inside, only to find the place was clean and spotless. All the furniture and appliances were neatly arranged, and there was even a bowl of freshly washed large red apples on the coffee table in the living room. Was it an illusion? No, he could faintly notice there were women’s clothes, meaning someone was living here. The Lin Family’s house hadn’t been sold to anyone else? As the owner of the house, Lin Mu was clear on the ownership, and the old man definitely wouldn’t sell it behind his back. He didn’t need those few hundred thousand bucks since Lin Mu, during his time as a mercenary in Africa, earned over five million in every account he took, and all that money was kept by the old man. So the old man was indeed a wealthy man and wouldn’t care for the little money from selling the house! "Who’s in my house?" Lin Mu called out with a raised voice, "Anyone alive here?" There was no response, which seemed suspicious. Yet, Lin Mu couldn’t care less; he threw his luggage onto the sofa and cautiously circled the villa. Wow, during his absence, someone had already renovated the villa completely anew. It had everything from computers to refrigerators and washing machines. A ridiculous thought crossed his mind: being a single man living alone in a spacious house was not just boring but also wasteful; wouldn’t renting it out for income be better? Sophie was his wife and would eventually join him here. Although the Su Family was wealthy, any amount of money was still her family’s. In the future, the little couple’s life wouldn’t rely on his hardworking efforts, striving for a blissful and comfortable life for his wife and kids! So while he’s young and without any financial pressure, it’s time to make money, contributing to a future happy marriage and adding some companions to his life by putting up a rental ad! It’d be great to attract an eye-catching girl and enjoy a colorful life surrounded by beauties! Actually, the main reason was that Lin Mu, used to living in groups with the Golden Wolf, Earth Wolf, Lone Wolf, and Red Flower Wolf in Africa, couldn’t quite adjust to the pace of living alone. Just as he was about to take some photos to post a rental ad online, a faint splashing sound echoed in his ears. Although the sound was very soft and couldn’t be heard by most people, Lin Mu, a Special Forces King with a powerful Seventh Sense, couldn’t miss even the tiniest sound with his keen ears. "Damn, who’s in my house?" Could it be a thief? This unlucky thief managed to commit a crime right under his nose, stealing from the Wolf King’s house. Is this a death wish? Silently, Lin Mu inched toward the source of the sound. It came from a room at the edge of the second floor. He pressed his ear against the door and quietly twisted the door handle. It was actually locked. How brazen of a thief! Today I’ll catch you right in the act. After a brief preparation, gathering all his inner strength, he kicked the iron door. Bang, with a loud blast, the iron door swung open. Haha, today I’m going to catch you right in the act... Ah... Before Lin Mu could understand, he heard a sharp soprano voice burst out in a long, dolphin-like sound. Roughly estimated, it definitely exceeded 200 decibels. In an instant, the entire villa was filled with this high-powered screech, resonating for several minutes, unable to calm down for a long time. Ignoring the powerful noise pollution, Lin Mu took a deep breath and dashed inside, risking having his eardrums shattered! But he was quite unlucky. The next second, a dark gun barrel appeared in front of him, pointing at his head. Truly a battle-hardened Special Forces King, Lin Mu calmed down instantly, then cleverly used the momentum to remove the iron door and used it as a shield. In that split second, he glanced at the other person with a flickering glint in his eyes. It was a woman, and she was about the same age as him. Perhaps she was changing clothes, so she was only wearing a bikini. Her devilishly shapely figure featured long, slender, beautiful legs, a smooth, flat stomach, and a proud, prominent chest that was as impressive as his fiancée Sophie and the hot lady cop on the train. Her pretty face, twisted in anger with bashfulness, had a unique charm... Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What... is this situation? A thief and a woman, and she carries a gun? But Lin Mu wasn’t worried about her actually firing. Don’t forget, he had an iron door in his hand as a shield. Even if he had nothing in his hands, he had enough ways to resolve it. But why does this face feel so familiar? "Get out, you pervert!" Just catching her in the middle of changing clothes and being seen stark naked by this stinky man, the woman was absolutely furious, "Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you!" Upon hearing this voice, Lin Mu immediately snapped back. Damn, isn’t this the same hot lady cop who kissed and groped him in the restroom on the train? No wonder she seemed so familiar! Damn, how did she end up in my house? What a small world! He thought he’d never have anything to do with her again, yet here they were. Seeing Lin Mu hiding behind the door, not daring to make a sound, Qi Manlin hurriedly grabbed a nightgown and threw it over herself. She didn’t even have time to tie the belt. It looked so ridiculous that she might laugh at her own appearance in front of a mirror! But right now, she was too angry to care about her ladylike image! "Pervert, listen up, I’ll count to three. If you don’t come out, I’ll shoot you!" "A man’s word is his bond. If I said I won’t come out, I won’t! Humph." "Three," Damn, this chick is counting backwards. "A gentleman keeps his promise, not leaving, not leaving, still not leaving. Don’t believe me? Bite me!" "One," Damn, what was your elementary school math teacher doing, just skipping two and jumping straight to one? Absurd! "Girl, you’re really silly. If you have the guts, shoot. I’m not afraid of death..." Bam... Unexpectedly, this girl actually fired, and the bullet almost pierced through the iron door, with a wisp of smoke emerging in front of Lin Mu’s eyes, along with a burnt iron smell! Lin Mu really wanted to deal with her in one fatal move like he did with those assassins on the train. But since he had kissed her lips and she had groped his torch, and now he saw her stark naked, he felt a bit guilty toward her. Ah, let’s spare this girl for now, but she’s holding a gun! Thinking about it, what Sophie said made sense: OK, I can’t mess with her, but I can hide from her! As soon as Lin Mu sprinted away, Qi Manlin chased after him with a pistol in hand, "Pervert, don’t think you can run..." Damn, not running would be weird. Only a fool would stand there as a live target! The villa was quite large, and Lin Mu ran wildly with the iron door. Qi Manlin, with empty hands, couldn’t catch up with him. Could this beast really be a mutant with abnormal genes? After chasing for nearly half an hour, Lin Mu was still at ease, running lightly ahead. The heavy iron door was like a toy in his hand. The Lin Family’s mansion was large, with plenty of space upstairs and downstairs, so Lin Mu had a lot of room to escape, dashing around everywhere. Damn, Qi Manlin finally believed it. This beast was indeed a mutant or maybe even an alien! If that’s the case, then as the captain, I have no choice but to represent the people of Earth to eliminate you, this anomaly! She raised her pistol and aimed at Lin Mu’s legs, firing a few shots.
