Chapter 290: Chapter 281: The Corpse Emperor Is FakeAt the corridor by the detention room door, Zhou Furong skillfully unlocked the room with a dagger. The Corpse Emperor always wore a mask, so not many people had seen the true face of the Corpse Emperor, but both Zhou Furong and Guo Meimei had lived with the Corpse Emperor and had seen the true face. However, they realized that the woman inside was not the Corpse Emperor. Zhou Furong and Guo Meimei entered the room, looking at the fake Corpse Emperor, sneering, emitting a murderous aura, "Where is the real Corpse Emperor?" The fake Corpse Emperor glanced at Zhou Furong without speaking, only giving a cold laugh! Seeing this, Zhou Furong attacked the fake Corpse Emperor with the dagger. The fake Corpse Emperor quickly turned and stood up from the ground, both hands and feet bound by chains, unable to attack directly! "Prepare to die!" Zhou Furong thrust the dagger into the fake Corpse Emperor’s chest, but deliberately avoided the fatal spots since this person was a fake. To find the real Corpse Emperor, they had to get information from this fake; it was the only clue! The fake Corpse Emperor frowned, then blood started flowing from the wound in the chest! "Tell me, where is the Corpse Emperor?!" Zhou Furong coldly asked, the dagger pressed against the impostor’s throat. The woman pretending to be the Corpse Emperor leaned against the wall motionless, with vacant eyes staring at Zhou Furong, as if she had long prepared to die! The fake Corpse Emperor gritted her teeth, refusing to make a sound, demonstrating utter loyalty to the Corpse Emperor. Zhou Furong coldly observed her and punched the fake Corpse Emperor in the wound! "Ah..." The fake Corpse Emperor let out a pained howl, a soul-crushing pain spreading through her body. "Speak or not?" Zhou Furong coldly asked. The fake Corpse Emperor weakly smiled, "Heh, just kill me, I don’t know!" Zhou Furong glanced at Guo Meimei, nodded, and Guo Meimei stepped forward, pulling out a small bottle and sprinkling some white powder on the wound! At this moment, Lin Mu and Xiong Jian rushed in, seeing the semi-conscious police officer sitting in the corridor. Lin Mu asked, "Where are they?" "Inside, inside, they don’t seem to be here to rescue people, but to kill!" The officer pointed at the detention room at the end of the corridor. "Here to kill? Could it be those two women just now?" Lin Mu didn’t have time to think further and ran toward the detention room, pushing open the door to see two familiar figures—yes, the two women he had particularly noticed during dinner! "Stop!" Lin Mu shouted from the doorway. Guo Meimei turned her head, glancing at Lin Mu. From his sharp eyes, he was clearly no ordinary person! "This is a personal grudge, you’d better not interfere!" Guo Meimei coldly said. Lin Mu smiled, feeling relieved inside. It turned out they were enemies of the Corpse Emperor. Since they shared a common enemy, they were friends. Lin Mu didn’t intend to trouble them, especially since they were women, and he was even less inclined to trouble them! "I don’t know what feud you have, but she’s half dead now, forget it, I won’t trouble you two, you can go!" Lin Mu said. Zhou Furong glanced at Lin Mu, sneering, "This one isn’t the real Corpse Emperor, just her decoy!" "What?! She’s a fake?" Lin Mu asked in shock. "That’s right, this woman isn’t the Corpse Emperor, just a decoy. You were all deceived by the Corpse Emperor. We’ve seen her true face, so she can’t fool us!" Zhou Furong sneered. Zhou Furong was right. Lin Mu had never seen the real face of the Corpse Emperor either. Despite interactions, she always wore a mask! Lin Mu cursed himself for being duped, suddenly recalling a woman named Purple Clothes. With this line of thinking, Purple Clothes could very well be the Corpse Emperor; otherwise, who else could hold such a grudge? "And you are?" Lin Mu asked Zhou Furong and Guo Meimei. "We all are enemies of the Corpse Emperor, mortal enemies. Last time at the exhibition hall, it was us who wounded her, mistaking her for the Corpse Emperor!" Zhou Furong explained. "I see, haha, a misunderstanding!" Lin Mu waved with a smile. They were both masters, and now Lin Mu was in need of personnel, considering recruiting them if they agreed. "Are you also a police officer?" Zhou Furong asked. "Heh, do I look like a police officer? Let me introduce myself, Lin Mu, owner of the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion!" Lin Mu laughed. "So you’re Lin Mu?" Zhou Furong asked, surprised. Lin Mu’s recent fame had reached her while she was in Wancheng, and she admired capable people. "You’ve heard of me?" Lin Mu laughed. "Haha, Boss Lin, long time no see, appearing here suggests your backing is strong," Zhou Furong said, clasping her hands. "Not at all, what reputation do I have? Just a businessman!" Lin Mu modestly replied. "It’s getting late, we need to go!" Zhou Furong said, signaling Guo Meimei to leave with her. "Heh, wait a moment, you two." Lin Mu turned with a grin. "Something wrong?" Zhou Furong and Guo Meimei asked, turning back, but also readying themselves as they didn’t know Lin Mu well enough despite his good reputation, wondering if he’d pose a problem! Lin Mu looked at them, laughing, "No need to be so tense. I have a favor to ask, and need some help!" Lin Mu couldn’t let them leave just like that, as they were hard-to-find experts. If he could recruit them, it would greatly boost Wolf Fang’s strength! To win them over, he had to show immense strength, as people only follow those with power! "What kind of help?" Zhou Furong asked. "Heh, it’s about the Corpse Emperor, she’s still out there, you want to catch her too, don’t you?" Lin Mu laughed. "Indeed, the Corpse Emperor must die!" Zhou Furong coldly declared. "So I proposed we cooperate to catch the Corpse Emperor. With our strength, it shouldn’t be difficult. What do you think?" Lin Mu said with a smile. Zhou Furong glanced at Lin Mu, realizing someone able to come and go freely at the police station certainly had a complex background. With police help, finding the Corpse Emperor would be simpler! "How do we cooperate?" "Simple, just help me identify the Corpse Emperor!" Lin Mu laughed. "Heh, that won’t be a problem!" Zhou Furong laughed. Meanwhile, Qi Manlin, led by Captain Wang, hurriedly drove to the police station. Hearing from the officers outside that there were no casualties, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "What happened?" Qi Manlin asked. "Heh, officer sister, you came at the right time, this is not the real Corpse Emperor, it’s a fake!" Lin Mu laughed, addressing Lin Fangfei. "What? A fake?" Qi Manlin asked in surprise.
