Chapter 778 795: Captured
That's how you avoid attracting Copper Lion's attention. In Copper Lion's eyes, Lin Mu is nothing more than a dumbass who acts like a big shot just because he has a little bit of ability!Copper Lion glanced at Lin Mu and sneered. Earlier downstairs, he didn't bother with Lin Mu because of business. Now he had to get this disgust out of his system!
"You think you're Brother Xiaoshuai, daring to call yourself 'Brother' on my turf! Today, I'm gonna let you enjoy yourself here, beat him to death!" Copper Lion waved his hand.
A few men stepped forward, and Lin Mu cursed, "Damn, seems like I can't let this slide anymore."
Lin Mu swung his fist, and the bodyguard easily dodged it. Of course, Lin Mu did this on purpose; he didn't show his true skills. Otherwise, given Lin Mu's terrifying punch speed, an opponent's reaction time would have to be measured in milliseconds! How could this bodyguard dodge otherwise?
After dodging, the bodyguard turned and punched Lin Mu in the stomach! Surprisingly, Lin Mu had a delayed reaction and didn't dodge or block, taking the punch head-on. Of course, this punch barely tickled Lin Mu, and he didn't feel any pain!
But Lin Mu had to put on an act now, clutching his stomach and letting out a miserable cry as he fell to the ground. Copper Lion sneered at Lin Mu's feigned weakness, "I thought you were tougher than this. Aren't you the big shit? Get up and fight again."
Lin Mu curled up on the ground, screaming and wailing as if he had completely lost his ability to fight back, almost as if he'd been crippled!
"Today, I'm gonna have fun with you, teach you a lesson!" Copper Lion rubbed his fists, clearly wanting to vent his frustration on Lin Mu. Especially in times of stress, finding a live target to vent on is the best thing! The Heaven and Earth Society had been having a rough time lately, so from the Sect Leader down to the little brothers and several Squad Leaders, everyone was quite frustrated! But now they've found someone to take it out on!
Just as Copper Lion took a step forward, the room door opened, and a bodyguard stepped forward, "Squad Leader, Sect Leader Huo just arrived. There's an important matter to discuss. He wants you to join them now!"
"Got it!" Copper Lion waved his hand, "I'll deal with you later, you guys keep watch outside!"
"Yes!"
A few bodyguards followed Copper Lion out of the room. After they left, Lin Mu quickly got up from the ground. Judging by what the guy said about an important matter, Lin Mu guessed it had to do with the transaction! This was a rare opportunity. Lin Mu walked over to the window, opened it, and jumped from window to window!
Lin Mu entered another private room through the window, tidied himself up a bit, and then walked out casually!
With people coming and going, Lin Mu didn't attract any attention at all, and he glanced at the previous room. The guys were still guarding the door!
Lin Mu found a server and smiled, "Hello, where's President Huo's office? I'm here to discuss a cooperation project with him!"
The server glanced at Lin Mu, in his suit and tie, and didn't suspect anything, nor did he ask any questions. In such a setting, President Huo had many friends, and this one might be someone not to be trifled with, so better not ask!
"On the third floor," the server replied.
"Thanks!" Lin Mu smiled, then headed up the stairs to the third floor. The third floor also had KTV private rooms, but a few bodyguards were standing guard at one of the doors. A quick thought made it clear, that must be Huo Yanggen's office!
Now Lin Mu couldn't risk alerting anyone, as he was just probing for information to be safe, and getting noticed by Huo Yanggen could ruin tonight's action plan!
Huo Yanggen was a crafty old fox, very alert to any movements or hints of trouble, so Lin Mu couldn't let Huo Yanggen notice anything! Lin Mu pulled out his phone, entered a nearby room two doors away from Huo Yanggen's office!
The reason Lin Mu didn't go directly to the room next to the office was because of the two bodyguards at the door. They're not idiots, if he just walked in, it would definitely catch their attention!
Lin Mu entered the room, then climbed up the window, jumped from one window to the next, then to yet another window! Luckily, all these rooms had windows, and with his skills, jumping several meters between windows was no big deal! Otherwise, without alerting the guards at the door, Lin Mu really wouldn't know what to do!
Lin Mu easily jumped into the room next to Huo Yanggen's office. Once inside, Lin Mu pressed his ear to the wall! There was soft music playing inside; it turned out it wasn't Huo Yanggen's office, just a special private room only open to internal personnel!
Thinking about it, it's unlikely Huo Yanggen's office would be set next to other private rooms! But this room must be a designated room, for private use only!
Though there was some music as cover, Lin Mu could hear their conversation inside! With a strong Seventh Sense, he could sense the unusual vibe and atmosphere inside, but he hadn't caught any useful information. When he listened closer to the wall, all he could hear were reminders like, be careful, don't make mistakes!
Maybe Huo Yanggen had already briefly explained the action plan before Lin Mu started eavesdropping! Just then, a phone rang inside the room! Huo Yanggen sat on the sofa, looked at the caller, and picked it up, "What's up?"
"Is everything ready on your side?" A male voice asked on the phone.
"Everything's ready, we'll proceed tonight, ensuring Lin Mu won't live to see tomorrow morning!" Huo Yanggen said on the phone.
Lin Mu pressed against the wall, unable to hear the voice on the phone, but he could still hear Huo Yanggen's voice!
"Could he have foreseen my move?" Lin Mu was puzzled.
"Alright then, there's only this one chance, Lin Mu is acting alone. I can't contact you by phone when the time comes. For the specific operation, I'll have someone send you the details!" said the man on the phone.
"Understood, that's settled then!" Huo Yanggen hung up the phone.
Lin Mu frowned, feeling something was off, but couldn't pinpoint it. From Huo Yanggen's tone on the phone, it seemed like he was targeting him? Or was he overthinking it? And who was the person on the phone? Someone from the Tsar Organization?
"Golden Monkey, get ready with a few others for action. The Tsar Organization personnel will also make a move tonight!" Huo Yanggen ordered.
"Understood, Sect Leader Huo!" Golden Monkey and the others nodded in response.
