Chapter 762 779: Huo Yanggen Escapes
"What should we do next?" Qi Manlin asked."Let's go back for now. Anyway, the drugs are in our hands. As the saying goes, justice has long arms and will sooner or later catch up with them," Lin Mu said.
"Hmm!" Qi Manlin nodded, saying no more because it seemed like everything she wanted to say had already been expressed by Lin Mu. Since becoming an outstanding entrepreneur and a representative in Wancheng, Lin Mu seemed to have suddenly raised his awareness and even speaks more reasonably nowadays.
Of course, the Chief Police Officer reasons with others, but when it comes to Lin Mu, the officer's sister doesn't wish to reason at all. Qi Manlin is still accustomed to using fists and kicks to communicate with him.
The team tidied up the scene a bit before Lin Mu and the others headed back to the Flying Dragon Group headquarters in Wancheng East District.
This operation was relatively smooth, though it indeed had its twists and turns, and was nerve-wracking. The only shortcoming was that those two bad guys, Huo Yanggen and Chekov, managed to escape! Lin Mu knew that as long as their leader wasn't eliminated, they would definitely conduct transactions again in the future. This was merely a loss for them!
Reflecting on this operation made Lin Mu feel a bit scared, as he hadn't anticipated Huo Yanggen's treachery in placing a sniper in the car, nearly costing him his life. On the way back, Lin Mu glanced at Qi Manlin sitting in the passenger seat, feeling grateful from the bottom of his heart. It was thanks to this girl that he might not already be six feet under!
In Wancheng West District, Huo Yanggen returned to his mansion in a sorry state, changed into clean clothes, and then went downstairs to the living room, where Golden Monkey, Silver Snake, and Copper Lion had also just changed their clothes. This operation left them quite embarrassed, having had to jump into a lake to narrowly escape with their lives.
Trading by the reservoir was a fallback plan left by Huo Yanggen, just in case they were surrounded by the police, allowing them to break through via the waterway. They had previously scouted the waterway and knew the escape route like the back of their hands. Even if the police had a large number of personnel, it would be impossible to cover the entire lake area, allowing them the option to escape by water!
They also lost a shipment of drugs, a minor issue compared to the significance of the drugs themselves. If the transaction had been successful, the profit would be much more than five million! This time, the Heaven and Earth Society and Huo Yanggen were thoroughly thwarted by Lin Mu and the Flying Dragon Sect!
Not only did Huo Yanggen fail, but Chekov, that Red Hair, also got his comeuppance. After coming downstairs, Huo Yanggen sat in the living room and lit a cigarette.
"Golden Monkey, where's Chekov?" Huo Yanggen asked through a cloud of smoke.
"They've already left Wancheng overnight, worried the police would target them," Golden Monkey said.
"It's good they temporarily left Wancheng. The woman who fired tonight is the Public Security Bureau Chief of Wancheng East District, Qi Manlin. I suspect she will arrange for a police search!" Huo Yanggen said.
"What about us?"
"We're fine for now. Without any evidence, the police won't come for us. But that Lin Mu opposes us at every turn like he's oblivious to his own mortality! Sooner or later, I'm going to end him!" Huo Yanggen thought of Lin Mu and gnashed his teeth. Despite his concessions time and again, Lin Mu showed no respect.
"Sect Leader Huo, how did Lin Mu find out about our trade location? Didn't we have people monitoring closely?" Golden Monkey asked, puzzled.
"I'm not sure about this either. Maybe there was a leak, but if there had been, we should have been informed. Let me make a call and ask!" Huo Yanggen said.
He then picked up the phone, entered a number, and dialed out!
"What is it?" A man's voice came from the phone.
"Our mission failed tonight. The drugs and money are gone, and Chekov has left Wancheng. What happened on your side? Didn't you assure me you'd know immediately if Lin Mu made a move?" Huo Yanggen's voice was slightly accusatory, as this incident almost cost him his life.
The man on the other end was clearly taken aback by Huo Yanggen's words, "What? Lin Mu took action? How come I didn't know?"
"Hmph, you seem to know nothing! You guaranteed the security measures. We received no information from you before Lin Mu acted!" Huo Yanggen raged.
"Sect Leader Huo, it's a mistake on my part, I truly apologize. I'll contact the people from the Russian Tsar side and negotiate to lower the price for the next deal to make up for your loss!" The man on the phone said.
"If this goes on, I don't even know if there will be a next time. Now Lin Mu is like he has eyes on me, knowing whatever we do. In terms of skills, we're no match for him. In this situation, how can we continue trading?" Huo Yanggen reprimanded.
"Rest assured, Sect Leader Huo, I will handle this matter. I'll find an opportunity to deal with Lin Mu. Trust me, our future cooperation will proceed smoothly. You've seen the goods from the Tsar Organization, and Lin Mu's matter will be dealt with properly. Plus, under my protection, these losses are insignificant!" The man on the phone reassured warmly.
"Alright, I understand. The goods are genuine, but I hope you can get rid of Lin Mu quickly. He's too troublesome, and I can't face him head-on!"
"Understood, Sect Leader Huo, rest assured and wait for my news!" The man on the phone promised.
Huo Yanggen let out a long sigh, "Okay, I'll wait for your news!"
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanggen massaged his forehead, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke. His expression revealed a trace of apprehension, but the conflict with Lin Mu was beyond reconciliation. Despite fearing the confrontation, he now had to confront him!
Of course, Huo Yanggen was an old fox; he wouldn't confront Lin Mu head-on, especially with the Tsar Organization taking the lead. To deal with Lin Mu, he intended to have the Tsar Organization handle him!
Although Huo Yanggen was eager for this supply channel, he knew the Tsar Organization was even more keen on obtaining his sales channel. Therefore, Huo Yanggen had to stay composed and let the Tsar Organization step up against Lin Mu and the Flying Dragon Sect!
The next morning, Lin Mu received a call from Xia Yuyi, who shared some good news. She had discussed with Senior Silver Moon, who had agreed to participate in the maritime escort mission Lin Mu proposed. Such a task was an ideal fit for members of the Dark Night Sect, a skill-based job that allowed them to showcase their talents.
