The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 1052 - 1067: Enemies Cross Paths

Lin Mu looked at Man Luo helplessly and said seriously, "Actually, my secret identity is a member of the Huaxia Divine Wind Special Forces. I'm often dispatched around the world for missions. The rules in Divine Wind Special Forces are too strict—no drinking, no flirting, and it's too lonely. So I voluntarily took postings around the world for a more relaxed life!"Man Luo found Lin Mu's words increasingly unreliable, rolled her eyes, and said, "Alright, those tricks to fool young girls are outdated. You want me to idolize you like a little girl? Hmph, no way!"

Lin Mu pouted helplessly, "Alright, you win! You beat me!"

Even though he was misunderstood by the girl, Lin Mu didn't mind at all. In fact, it's better to keep his identity a secret. None of the Lin Family girls, including Sophie, knew his actual background. Only Earth Wolf and the other brothers from Wolf Fang knew.

So the whole afternoon, Lin Mu and Man Luo flirted, happily. However, their relationship didn't progress significantly. When it comes to wooing a girl, patience is key! Of course, Lin Mu and Man Luo were still in the stages of developing feelings. Deeper communication would require time to let the girl learn about his strengths and weaknesses, as he understood the girl's depths.

Even Man Luo herself might not have realized her views on Lin Mu were changing little by little. Initially, Man Luo just deemed Lin Mu to be a pervert and a hooligan. But then Man Luo discovered a completely different side of him—a side that was quite manly, brave, strong, and never yielding, very much like her own nature—so she sometimes found herself quite admiring him. Hence, the two chatted until past five in the afternoon.

Lin Mu glanced at the time, realizing it was almost dinner time. He said to Man Luo, "Hey, girl, wanna go down for dinner together?"

At this point, Man Luo seemed less resistant to Lin Mu's proposal. She nodded. In the past, there was no way Man Luo would have greeted Lin Mu kindly. At best, she'd refuse; at worst, she'd lash out harshly.

"Let's go." Man Luo nodded, putting on a jacket as she spoke.

Lin Mu then took Man Luo out of the room, and as soon as they stepped out, San Ji, who had been watching by the door, noticed Lin Mu. He was even more surprised to see another familiar face—it was indeed Man Luo they had been looking for.

Although San Ji had never met Man Luo in person, he had seen her large photographs and close-up shots. He was fairly convinced that Man Luo was the person they were after.

This discovery delighted San Ji. It was like searching everywhere with no luck, only to stumble upon success effortlessly! The pleasure of finding Man Luo while keeping an eye on Lin Mu was unexpected. He imagined Brother Zhong and Master Bai would reward him with at least ten thousand, no, a hundred thousand!

However, San Ji couldn't understand why Man Luo and Lin Mu were together. Nonetheless, it made things easier for Master Bai. San Ji quickly took out his phone, turned around to avoid Lin Mu's notice, and hurriedly searched for Ah Zhong's number in his contacts.

Just as he found Ah Zhong's number and was about to call, someone tapped him on the shoulder. San Ji turned back, surprised to see that the person he was looking for was right there. Although he knew he was no match for Lin Mu, he quickly regained his calm, forced a smile, and asked, "What do you want?"

"Heh." Lin Mu chuckled coldly. Although this thug hadn't made any suspicious moves, Lin Mu's extremely sharp Seventh Sense seemed to sense the thug's hostility. As soon as Lin Mu stepped out, this guy turned away—surely he was up to something. Looking at his attire, especially the obvious hole in his jeans at the knee, Lin Mu thought he didn't look like any decent person!

"You, you need something?" San Ji asked again, a bit rattled, looking at Lin Mu.

"Trying to tip someone off?" Lin Mu smiled, seemingly aware of his intentions.

"What tip-off—I don't know what you mean." San Ji put on a confused expression.

"You don't know what I mean?" Lin Mu smirked, reached out, and grabbed San Ji's phone. San Ji tried to resist, but his speed paled in comparison to Lin Mu, so unsurprisingly, the phone ended up in Lin Mu's hand.

Lin Mu looked at the phone number San Ji had found and laughed, "Ah Zhong? Isn't that the thug I beat up this afternoon? Did he send you?"

San Ji, realizing he was exposed, decided not to hide anymore, straightened up, and said, "Correct, Brother Zhong sent me to keep an eye on you, so what?"

"Is this fool asking for trouble again? Damn it, today's thugs are really annoying! Do you people enjoy looking for trouble?" Lin Mu said with frustration, handing the phone back to San Ji, "I don't have time to play with you guys anymore. Here's your phone back—I can't be bothered with your type. Now get lost before I change my mind; it's better for you not to cross me again. I'm starving right now. I'll be eating downstairs at the western restaurant. If you're not convinced, you can call your boss. After my meal, I might just want some exercise."

With that, Lin Mu dragged Man Luo along and got into the elevator to have their meal downstairs. San Ji, clutching his phone, heaved a sigh of relief. Even Brother Zhong wasn't a match for Lin Mu, let alone him—this small-time thug. Plus, with the deadly Man Luo by his side, she could end his life in a flash—no, she could nearly kill him hundreds of times in just seconds if she was having a bad day.

Catching his breath, San Ji didn't dare to linger, quickly dialing Ah Zhong's number. At this time, Ah Zhong was combing through hotel after hotel, frustrated at finding nothing. He didn't know what name Man Luo used while booking, only a rough description of her appearance. Despite searching through many hotels, he found no trace at all.

Brother Zhong was gloomily puffing on a cigarette, contemplating what to tell Bai Wuchang when his phone rang.

He looked at the phone and saw it was his underling San Ji calling, so he answered listlessly.

"What's up, San Ji? Any news from your side?" Brother Zhong asked.

"Brother Zhong, there's big news!" San Ji exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"What big news?"

"Brother Zhong, I found Man Luo, and she's with that kid."

"Which kid?"

"The one you asked me to watch!"
