Chapter 1000 - 1015: Shopping for Lingerie Together
"Alright, let's go together." Lin Mu waved his hand, leading Su Shan and the others out of the office.The group left the Holy City Disco, then drove back to the hotel. Da Hai and Da Shan returned to their own rooms to rest, while Su Shan followed Lin Mu to his room.
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Hey, girl, take a seat!"
Su Shan nodded somewhat awkwardly, then sat on the sofa.
"Girl, where do you live? Let's have a meal later, and then I'll take you home." Lin Mu took out a cigarette and asked.
Su Shan looked at Lin Mu and shook her head.
"Uh... girl, you don't even know where your home is?" Lin Mu asked somewhat helplessly.
"I do know." Su Shan finally replied.
"Then why don't you go home?" Lin Mu wondered.
"I don't have a home. I grew up in an orphanage, without parents." Su Shan seemed a bit aggrieved.
Lin Mu understood Su Shan's meaning, "I'm sorry for bringing up something that makes you sad."
"It's alright, thank you for today." Su Shan's tone was filled with gratitude, after all, if Lin Mu hadn't intervened in time, Su Shan would have suffered Ivan's humiliation.
"No need to thank me. Where did you live before? I'll take you home or to your workplace." Lin Mu said, as he couldn't stay in Russia for long. Seeing this girl was also pitiful, he thought to at least settle her down. Moreover, they had other operations and couldn't bring a girl along.
"I live at the orphanage; I'm a piano teacher at the orphanage." Su Shan answered.
"Ah, no wonder you have such a refined temperament. A teacher, especially a piano teacher, indeed has a lot of grace!" Lin Mu smiled politely and then asked, "How did you end up in a place like this?"
"I was trafficked here. I grew up at the orphanage, which was very kind to me. I know my piano playing is far from enough to repay the orphanage, so I wanted to earn more money and donate it to the orphanage to repay them for raising me all these years. But I ended up being deceived and brought to such a place." Su Shan said, with a trace of hatred on her face.
Lin Mu shook his head helplessly, "Girl, try to see things in perspective. This is society, with its many ugly sides. The world outside is much more complicated than the orphanage."
Su Shan nodded, "Yes, I've realized that."
"Alright, where is the orphanage? I'll take you back." Lin Mu said.
Su Shan shook her head, "I don't want to go back; I'm afraid they'll find me and implicate the people at the orphanage."
"Uh... what should we do then?" Lin Mu was quite at a loss.
Su Shan glanced at Lin Mu, gently biting her lip, "Brother, if possible, I am willing to go with you."
"Oh?" Lin Mu widened his eyes, somewhat disbelief as he pointed at himself, "You want to follow me? I'm a Huaxia person, and will be returning home before long!"
Of course, Lin Mu didn't mind Su Shan following him. Whether it was her figure or looks, Su Shan was top-notch. Besides, Lin Mu always had a dream of dating a foreign girl, and now the opportunity was right in front of him. However, Lin Mu worried Su Shan might regret it because he would not be staying in Russia. If Su Shan found it hard to adapt to Huaxia, Lin Mu wouldn't want to have to deal with any drama.
Su Shan looked at Lin Mu with a very determined gaze, "I know, I won't regret it, as long as you take me in."
"Alright, I have no problem with it, as long as you're willing." Lin Mu didn't hesitate and agreed immediately. With the chance to have a girl want to follow him, especially a top-notch girl, Lin Mu surely wouldn't refuse.
Su Shan lit up in excitement upon hearing Lin Mu agree, "Brother, you really agreed."
Lin Mu nodded, "Yes, but I have a few conditions, and you need to agree to them before I can feel at ease."
"Brother Lin, whatever conditions you have, please tell me." Su Shan said.
"Ah, really it's nothing much. First, when I take you out of Russia, will you regret or be afraid? Second, once you're in Wancheng, it's quite possible you won't have a chance to return to Russia. Can you agree to that?"
Su Shan nodded, "Brother Lin, I believe you're a good person, so I won't be afraid. Plus, I promise you, once I leave Russia, I'll follow your arrangements completely."
"Alright then." Lin Mu nodded.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." Su Shan was moved to tears in gratitude.
Lin Mu stroked his chin, feeling quite excited himself. He hadn't expected to find a Russian girl who was willing to happily go live in Huaxia.
"Well, we might be staying in Haba District for a while. I'll rent you a room; you can stay here for the next few days." Lin Mu said.
"Okay!"
Afterward, Lin Mu rented a room for Su Shan, sorting out her accommodation. Lin Mu thought it over and then called Elder Lin. This time, the Tsar was conducting substantial arms deals, surely presenting a prime opportunity to strike them, and he needed to discuss the matter with Elder Lin.
"Hey, you little punk, why are you calling me if you're not doing your job properly?" As soon as the call connected, Elder Lin impatiently scolded.
"Damn, old man, I'm not slacking off either, I just wanted to discuss something with you!" Lin Mu said.
"Just say what you have to say, don't waste my time, I'm really busy, hurry up." Elder Lin replied.
Lin Mu couldn't be bothered to argue with the old man, "Old man, there's been some progress on the Tsar's side, the day after tomorrow night, the Tsar will be conducting an arms deal, and it's quite a large amount."
Upon hearing this, Elder Lin became serious, "Have you found out the time and place?"
"Haha, if I hadn't, why would I be calling you? Don't worry, I've got it all figured out, I'm just calling to discuss how to deal with them."
Elder Lin was silent for a moment, then said, "I want to plan this out, wait for my call."
"Got it, old man." Lin Mu responded.
After hanging up, Lin Mu glanced at the night view outside and suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten since leaving the Holy City. With a day left to prepare and the Tsar's transaction the day after tomorrow, who knows what strategy the old man would come up with to deal with the Tsar.
"Oh well, let's go eat first." Lin Mu, feeling quite hungry, then opened the door and left the room.
"Da Shan, Da Hai, want to go out for dinner?" Lin Mu knocked on Da Shan and Da Hai's door.
"Brother Lin, we're not going down, we've already eaten." Da Shan opened the door and said.
"Alright." Lin Mu went to the room next to Su Shan's, knocked on the door, "Is Su Shan in?"
Soon the door opened, and Su Shan looked at Lin Mu, asking, "Brother Lin, what's up?"
"You haven't eaten, right? Let's go have dinner together!" Lin Mu chuckled, thinking to himself that eating with a girl is always tastier.
Su Shan nodded, "Yes, I just wanted to buy some clothes."
"Let's go together then." Lin Mu said, and then left the hotel with Su Shan.
At a small restaurant outside, Lin Mu and Su Shan ordered a Russian buffet, chatting and eating at the same time. As the conversation unfolded, Su Shan turned out to be not as introverted as Lin Mu had imagined; she was quite lively and cute. After dinner, Su Shan needed to buy some daily necessities and underwear, so Lin Mu had no choice but to accompany her to the mall.
In the car, Lin Mu inadvertently glanced at Su Shan's chest, wondering what cup size she might be. He guessed it couldn't be small because from the side, there was a perfect curve, making Lin Mu marvel at how big foreign girls' busts were!
The two of them went to the mall, and Lin Mu accompanied Su Shan around, buying some clothes and shoes. After purchasing these, Su Shan looked a bit embarrassed as she glanced at Lin Mu, "Brother Lin, I..."
"What's up?" Lin Mu asked curiously.
"I want to buy some underwear, so could you wait here for a while?" Su Shan looked at Lin Mu somewhat bashfully, despite Russia being quite open, some girls are still somewhat conservative.
"Alright, I'll wait for you in the car." Lin Mu thought it over, realizing that it was inappropriate for a man to follow a girl while buying underwear, so he decided to wait outside.
Su Shan nodded, "Yeah, I'll be quick, just wait a few minutes."
Lin Mu first returned to the mall's parking lot, got back into the car, and took out a cigarette. However, after a long wait, Su Shan still hadn't returned. Checking the time, twenty minutes had passed.
Lin Mu suddenly felt that something wasn't right, as his sharp Seventh Sense seemed to be giving a warning. Even though Su Shan wasn't a close friend or relative of his, he realized that something might have happened to her. Buying underwear shouldn't take half an hour. Besides, Su Shan said it would be done in five minutes.
So Lin Mu furrowed his brows, took one last puff of the cigarette, got out of the car, and ran into the mall. He went to the lingerie section, looked around, but saw no sign of Su Shan.
"Miss, excuse me, did a girl just come by to buy lingerie?" Lin Mu asked the saleslady at the lingerie counter.
The saleslady waved her hand, indicating that she didn't understand what Lin Mu was saying.
Fortunately, during his time in North Africa, Lin Mu practiced various languages and had a slight grasp of Russian. He repeated the question in basic Russian, but the result was disappointing; the saleslady hadn't seen Su Shan.
Lin Mu glanced around again, then ran out of the mall. Just as he exited, he saw a van leaving the parking lot.
Watching the van drive away, a strong warning from his Seventh Sense surged up. His intuition told him that Su Shan must be inside that van.
"Damn it." Lin Mu felt annoyed, not expecting that those damn punks would target Su Shan.
Lin Mu got into his car and drove off in the direction the van was heading.
The van was moving fast, and Lin Mu's car wasn't quick, so he could only keep a close distance, unable to overtake them. But Lin Mu made sure they wouldn't escape.
About ten minutes later, the van arrived at a familiar place. Sure enough, it was the Holy City Disco. The van parked in the lot, the door opened, and, as expected, two red-haired men got out first, and then Su Shan was pushed out from inside.
Su Shan's hands were tied, her mouth gagged. A few red-haired men escorted her into the Holy City Disco. Lin Mu sat in his car, opened the door, and followed them in, not rushing in recklessly; he wanted to see what tricks they had up their sleeves.
