Chapter 98: Chapter 90: What a Painful Realization"Mister, do we need to continue?" Baldy pleaded pitifully, "Mister, just let me go, I won’t dare next time!" "Continue! Or find someone else to keep hitting." Lin Mu said unhurriedly, while a waitress beside him brought over a cup of tea. Lin Mu sat upright beside the table, sipping the fragrant tea. He suddenly realized that this was actually quite a pleasing activity! Smack, smack, smack, another round of loud noises. It was so satisfying that to Lin Mu’s ears it was almost like enjoying Chopin’s pastoral symphony. "How many more hits, Mister?" "Go figure it out yourself!" "Oh! That means until it’s swollen! Mister!" Baldy’s face immediately turned sourer than a bitter melon. Oh, what a painful realization! Smack, smack, smack, the loud noises kept on, while Liu Yemei and the others had come back to themselves, sitting nearby drinking water and resting, watching Lin Mu punish this scumbag who always bullied the weak and oppressed good people in a whole new way. "It’s swollen, Mister!" Saying so, Baldy showed his pig-face to Lin Mu and the others, as if he was showing off something remarkable. Such people are truly shameless. Lin Mu was too lazy to bother with such low-life ruffians, but worried that if he left, they would come out again to harm the people. "Apologize to the proprietress and her staff. If they are willing to forgive you, I will let you go!" Lin Mu said coldly. "Yes, Mister! You really are a great benevolent person!" "Uh, I hope you mean that from the bottom of your heart..." Baldy didn’t dare to talk back, turning to Liu Yemei, bowing to her group of clerks, his acting skills excellent, comparable to Miss Zhou Zhou Xun! Lin Mu thought. "I’m sorry, I was wrong, I apologize to you, ladies..." Liu Yemei and the clerks suddenly raised their heads, looking displeased, thinking, "Do I look that old?" Baldy also sensed the resentment in their eyes, hastily changing his tone, "Hmm, to all of you, ladies..." Although Liu Yemei fell silent, there was still a younger girl at the back glaring fiercely, thinking, look at those wrinkles and all that beard, who are you calling a lady? Baldy saw the situation and simply bowed down to the ground, "Fine, you are all my grand aunties. I was blind and offended you all, please have mercy and spare me, oh no, I mean give me a way to live. And today’s losses in the shop, I’ll compensate tenfold..." "Little brother, I think, just let him go!" Liu Yemei said to Lin Mu. It’s better to resolve enmity than to breed it. It is a principle of survival in business to rather offend ten gentlemen than to offend a petty person like Baldy. The proprietress is a wise person, naturally understanding this truth. Besides, he was already so disgraced just now. "Alright, since the victim doesn’t mind, you can count yourself lucky today..." Damn, having your face beaten like this is what you call lucky? However, Lin Mu turned the conversation, "But don’t let me see you bullying good people again, or else..." "Won’t happen, won’t happen..." Baldy cautiously promised. Lin Mu didn’t even look up, waving his fingers, indicating him to scram, Baldy thanked him again, then ran out holding his swollen face. "Oh, little brother, thanks to you today!" Liu Yemei said with a charming smile, "Well, if you don’t mind this place being dirty, we can clean up a bit, tidy it up, and then get you some drinks and snacks..." "No need!" Looking at the mess, Lin Mu said, "You clean up first, you have to rush for the night market business, everyone is not having it easy..." "Well then, have a safe journey!" Lin Mu said as he bid farewell to Liu Yemei and the others, returning to the car outside. Liu Yemei watched him leave until he had gone, then returned to the store to clean up the aftermath. After wrapping up this small affair, Lin Mu hurried back to Yunhai Mansion. Although Earth Wolf was also an expert, if encountering a master among masters like the Corpse Emperor, even he might not be able to handle it effectively, so he must be highly vigilant! It was at the VIP parking lot of Yunhai Mansion that Lin Mu happened to meet Xiong Jian. Presumably, Xiong Jian was also here for the Zombie Gang case, making him an ally of Lin Mu. Hence, the two like-minded people quickly started chatting and they both took the elevator together to the top floor CEO’s office. In the CEO’s office, Sophie had just finished her work and was having afternoon tea. Seeing Xiong Jian come up, she quickly went over to greet him, "Mr. Xiong, what a distinguished guest, Yunhai is truly honored. I wonder what brings Mr. Xiong here?" "Haha, President Su is too kind. If the Yunhai Su Family, a Fortune 500 company, is merely honored, then our little hole can’t even be called a hole anymore!" The three had a good laugh before Xiong Jian got serious, "President Su, actually I came this time to discuss a plan with Lin Mu!" "Mr. Xiong, feel free to speak about whatever you need." "Here’s the thing, regarding the Zombie Gang leader, the Corpse Emperor assassin, we’ve conducted extensive investigations but haven’t been able to find this demon. So I plan to use your antique painting to lure him out. Only by doing this can we capture him in one fell swoop." Xiong Jian proposed. Sophie thought for a moment then asked, "What do you need me to do?" "Advance the exhibition date a bit and spread the word to lure the Corpse Emperor to appear!" Xiong Jian said. Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "The Corpse Emperor is not an ordinary figure, will he fall for it so easily?" Sophie expressed concern. Xiong Jian laughed confidently, "President Su, rest assured, I have a way to draw him out!" "Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll hand the antique painting over to you, and you handle how to deal with it. I’ll reschedule the exhibition for a few days earlier!" Sophie nodded. "Thanks for the cooperation, President Su! You can rest easy; capturing the Corpse Emperor is good for you and for us!" Xiong Jian stood up to say. "And then you can get promoted and rich!" Sophie smiled gracefully, with no intention of mocking but merely joking, and Xiong Jian was very magnanimous, not minding at all! After all, what Sophie said wasn’t wrong! So, Sophie stood up and shook hands with Xiong Jian, "Pleasure working with you!" "Pleasure working with you!" After Xiong Jian left, only Lin Mu and Sophie were left in the office. Lin Mu looked at Sophie, her graceful and gentle demeanour truly impressed Lin Mu. It seemed the old man hadn’t treated him poorly, finding such a beautiful and smart fiancée for him! If he were to look for one himself, even with a lantern it would be hard to find! "Why are you looking at me like that?" Sophie glanced at Lin Mu and asked, "Do I have gold on my face?" "Haha, what gold or silver... it’s just that you look... beautiful..." "Do you want to look at every beautiful woman?" Damn it, isn’t a woman’s face meant for men to look at? If in this world no man cares about a woman’s face, that woman would truly be a tragedy!
