Chapter 297: Chapter 288: The Assassin AppearsZhan Jiaqi also had a look of shock on his face; he hadn’t expected his family’s top bodyguard to be so easily defeated, kicked away with just two moves by Lin Mu. Lin Mu’s strength was truly formidable! Lin Mu looked at Zhan Jiaqi, let out a cold laugh, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled, "Kid, it’s better to be low-key in the future. Don’t think you’re hot shit just because you think you are, or because your parents are. That doesn’t mean you can act recklessly. Here’s a truth for you: don’t act like a big shot or you might get struck by lightning!" Just as Lin Mu finished saying this, whether by coincidence or fate, a thunderclap roared in the sky, causing Zhan Jiaqi to shiver. Lin Mu pinched his delicate, soft face and gave it a strong squeeze, "You heard that, kid. Consider yourself warned!" After saying this, Lin Mu chuckled, turned around, and left with Meng Wei’Er to get into the car, starting it and driving out of the parking lot. Zhan Jiaqi was left dumbfounded, glancing at the few big men struggling on the ground, involuntarily shivering. Although Lin Mu had spoken to him with a smile, that smile felt like the onset of a harsh winter, sending chills down his spine! Along the way, Meng Wei’Er kept batting her large eyes, repeatedly observing Lin Mu with curiosity. It was clear that Lin Mu seemed more and more magical to Meng Wei’Er now. Mysterious men always attract women more! "Hey, girl, can you not stare at me like that? You keep staring, and I’ll end up driving us into a ditch!" Lin Mu grinned and said. "Lin Mu, where did you learn that skill? Those sturdy guys were down in a blink of an eye, you’re really amazing! So badass!" Meng Wei’Er praised with curiosity, giving a thumbs up. "Haha, it was nothing, really. Even if there were ten or twenty more, I wouldn’t be worried. You can never understand my strength!" Lin Mu laughed in a sing-song tone. "Twenty people? Hmph, keep bragging!" Meng Wei’Er mocked dismissively, "At least bragging doesn’t require paying taxes!" "Hehe, girl, you haven’t forgotten what you promised me before coming here, have you?" Lin Mu immediately asked. "Oh? What was it?" Meng Wei’Er glanced at Lin Mu and said. "Seriously, already forgotten? I backed you up tonight, so from now on, you have to listen to me!" Lin Mu reminded. "Oh, that. Fine, I’m not someone who goes back on their word," Meng Wei’Er said, waving her hand. "Good. If you don’t listen to me when the time comes, there will be consequences." "What kind of consequences?" "Ah, just..." Before Lin Mu could finish, Meng Wei’Er’s phone rang; from the iPhone 6 came a clear elderly voice, "Hello, Miss, please come back quickly, the master is in trouble..." "Oh, Uncle Meng, I’m heading home now, tell my dad not to worry!" "The master is not at home; he’s in the hospital!" "What? Which hospital?" "The master suffered a gunshot wound, now at the Military District Headquarters Hospital!" "Okay, I’m heading there immediately!" After hanging up, Meng Wei’Er’s expression instantly turned anxious, "Quick, drive to the Military District Headquarters Hospital!" "What happened to your dad?" Lin Mu asked, then turned and drove towards the Military District Headquarters Hospital. "My dad was shot, it seems like he was attacked!" Meng Wei’Er was extremely worried, even though she often acted carefree and annoyed her dad, she was very composed when something happened and was very concerned about her dad’s safety. "Could it be Kuisang?" Lin Mu muttered as he stepped on the gas pedal and sped off. Twenty minutes later, Lin Mu drove into the military hospital, parked the car, and quickly ran towards the hospital. Uncle Meng was waiting in the lobby, and upon seeing Lin Mu and Meng Wei’Er, he promptly led them to the hospital room. "Dad," Meng Wei’Er cried out and burst into tears. Lin Mu glanced at Meng Guoxiong lying in the hospital bed. Seeing that he wasn’t in serious danger—only shot twice in the leg and fainted from blood loss—it was clear that the attacker didn’t intend to kill Meng Guoxiong, just to make him suffer. Lin Mu let out a silent sigh of relief. Meng Guoxiong, his face pale, wiped Meng Wei’Er’s tears and told her not to worry, then motioned for Lin Mu to come closer. "Uncle!" Lin Mu called out and then walked over. Meng Guoxiong nodded in response, speaking weakly, "Lin Mu, Kuisang has arrived in Dongguang. This time, he’s just giving me a warning. Next time, he might target Wei’Er. You must protect her." "Don’t worry, Uncle!" Lin Mu nodded. "Wei’Er, during this period, you must listen to Lin Mu, understand?" Meng Guoxiong instructed his daughter. "Got it, Dad!" Meng Wei’Er nodded. This was the only time she would be obedient. "That’s enough. I’m not in serious trouble; you guys should go home and rest first," Meng Guoxiong waved his hand. "Uncle, what about you?" Lin Mu asked with concern. Meng Guoxiong waved his hand, "Don’t worry about me. There are special forces soldiers from the military district here to protect me, and police outside. Nothing will happen. If he wanted to kill me, he could’ve done it then, so I’m temporarily not in danger." "Alright then, Uncle, you have a good rest. We’ll come to see you tomorrow," Lin Mu nodded. Meng Guoxiong, having suffered gunshot wounds, looked extremely weak and needed rest, so it wasn’t good to disturb him. Lin Mu took Meng Wei’Er out of the hospital room. Four crew-cut men were standing outside the room, looking determined and vigorous. Lin Mu knew they were definitely soldiers from Xiong Jian’s special forces unit. Even though they weren’t as strong as Kuisang, it was reassuring. Most importantly, Kuisang’s target wasn’t Meng Guoxiong but Meng Wei’Er, so Meng Guoxiong was temporarily safe. Otherwise, Lin Mu wouldn’t have left the place! Lin Mu took Meng Wei’Er down to the car in the hospital’s parking lot, and just as they were leaving the hospital, Lin Mu’s exceptional Seventh Sense tingled with an unusual alert. He sensitively noticed a flash of light from behind, as if signaling something, which caught his attention! Behind them, a blue Alto was tailing them, and Lin Mu instantly realized it was Kuisang. Kuisang was too audacious, following them so openly and looking for a chance to strike in broad daylight. He was blatantly disregarding Lin Mu! Since Kuisang had appeared, continually avoiding him wasn’t a solution. He’d find them sooner or later; to truly ensure Meng Wei’Er’s safety, the only way was to eliminate Kuisang. Lin Mu didn’t accelerate the car; he maintained a steady speed. If he sped up, driving this luxury car, he would have lost Kuisang long ago. "Wei’Er, later on, I’ll stop the car up ahead. You stay in the car and don’t come out, understand?" Lin Mu told Meng Wei’Er. The car had already driven out of the city area, an ideal spot to make a move.
