Chapter 779 796: Joining the Game, 5 More Updates for Monthly Votes
In just a few words, although no important information was revealed, Lin Mu still felt something was off. It sounded like they were targeting him?Lin Mu shook his head, "It's a bit confusing. Damn, isn't this supposed to be a transaction? Could Director Shen's information be wrong? Logically, that's impossible!"
Returning to the first-floor dance hall, Lin Mu called Xia Yuyi and left the venue of the Heaven and Earth Society. In the car, Xia Yuyi asked, "Brother Lin, did you find out any news?"
"Nothing major, but I heard some secret codes from Huo Yanggen. Although I didn't understand, it seems this event is targeting me!" Lin Mu said, puzzled and gloomy.
"Targeting you? Aren't they supposed to be conducting a drug deal?" Xia Yuyi asked, puzzled.
"Shen Ji Yang received information about a drug deal, but it might just be a ruse deliberately spread by Huo Yanggen. Of course, that's just my analysis, things might not be like this. No matter what, whether Huo Yanggen will conduct a drug deal or not, our Flying Dragon Sect must take action against him!" Lin Mu said.
"Should you discuss this matter with Director Shen?" Xia Yuyi asked.
Lin Mu thought for a moment, "No need. We all have the same goal. At most, we'll act more carefully. If I tell Shen Ji Yang that Huo Yanggen might not be involved in a drug deal, they won't put all their efforts into it. Better not to say anything!"
"Hmm, you have a point. Let's call Earth Wolf and the others, in case they are really targeting you. At least you'll have support!" Xia Yuyi said.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans. Even if they want my life, King Yama won't dare take it!" Lin Mu nodded.
Around eight in the evening, as previously agreed, Lin Mu met Shen Ji Yang and the others over by the Humen Bridge!
This time, Shen Ji Yang only brought ten police officers, all in plainclothes. Lin Mu could feel that all ten officers were very skilled!
Seeing Lin Mu approaching, Shen Ji Yang quickly came forward, "Boss Lin, you're here!"
"Hmm, how's the preparation?" Lin Mu nodded.
"This time, it's not convenient to make a big fuss. I'm afraid of leaks, so I only brought ten people, carefully selected, absolutely reliable!" Shen Ji Yang said.
Lin Mu nodded, although he had thoughts he didn't speak out, "Just these ten little cops? They aren't worth a damn. While all are decent hands, they might handle common crooks, but against Huo Yanggen and his band of skilled thieves, they're far from enough!
Of course, Lin Mu didn't care about these. He never counted on Shen Ji Yang; what he counted on was Shen Ji Yang's police director status. Whatever the police do is within legal bounds, even if they kill someone, the responsibility won't fall on Flying Dragon Sect!
"Great, where are Huo Yanggen and his guys making the deal?" Lin Mu asked. Though Shen Ji Yang had asked for help, he hadn't mentioned where Huo Yanggen's group was trading.
"Over in the suburban forest area. Get in!" Shen Ji Yang said, then got into a car.
Lin Mu didn't drive his own car but got into a vehicle with Shen Ji Yang. Ten people in total, they drove three cars speedily towards the suburban forest area. At the mountain base, they stopped the cars!
The forest was pitch black, luckily there was moonlight at night, otherwise, it truly would be so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of you!
"Director Shen, when will they act?" Lin Mu asked, seeing no one around.
"According to the information I got, it should be around nine o'clock, not far off. Let's hide first!" Shen Ji Yang said.
"Alright, following your plan!" Lin Mu nodded, soon a dozen people spread out, hiding in the bushes. Time ticked by, and still, there was no movement. About half an hour passed when the roar of engines could be heard; several cars drove this way!
"They're here!" Shen Ji Yang said, looking a bit excited.
"Heh, they really came." Lin Mu smiled.
"Boss Lin, when they arrive, let's not rush. Wait until their transaction is complete before acting. We police prioritize evidence; once both sides exchange, it's considered a successful deal, then we can act!" Shen Ji Yang reminded.
Lin Mu nodded, "Following Director Shen's plan!"
The cars quickly drove over, and indeed several cars stopped. Once they steadied, Huo Yanggen got out, accompanied by his trusted aides, Golden Monkey, Copper Lion, and Silver Snake.
Before long, a few more cars arrived! This time, Chekov and his group got out, Huo Yanggen and Chekov shook hands and exchanged boxes, although they didn't check each other's contents!
Hidden in the grass, Shen Ji Yang observed the situation and said quietly, "Boss Lin, they've completed the transaction. I think we can act now. The most important thing is to grab the boxes, and I'll need your help for that; we'll handle the rest!"
"No problem, Director Shen, be careful!" Lin Mu nodded.
"All teams, get ready for action!" Shen Ji Yang said into his earpiece, then his team emerged from the bushes, guns drawn!
"Freeze, freeze, police, hands up!" Shen Ji Yang's team appeared, shouting with guns raised.
Huo Yanggen, Chekov, and the others looked around and slowly raised their hands!
Golden Monkey, holding a box, glanced at Lin Mu, then turned to run!
Lin Mu dashed forward like an arrow, blocking Golden Monkey before he could get far!
"Where are you going?" Lin Mu sneered.
Golden Monkey glared at Lin Mu, then without a word, kicked towards him. Lin Mu turned to the side and dodged, followed by a swift kick to Golden Monkey's abdomen. The box slipped from Golden Monkey's hand, and Lin Mu swiftly caught it!
When Lin Mu took the box, Huo Yanggen's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and his other hand was already in his pocket! As Lin Mu held the box, his brow furrowed, feeling it had grown considerably lighter!
"Damn it, set up!" Lin Mu cursed inside, his extraordinary Seventh Sense alerting him to severe danger approaching his body, and he could almost hear a faint ticking sound from the box. Damn, deceived by these bastards! Lin Mu decisively threw the box away!
From the start, Lin Mu was very cautious, as he already knew Huo Yanggen's goal before coming. His main target this time was to deal with Lin Mu, not a drug transaction!
Thus, Lin Mu was particularly vigilant! Turned out, Huo Yanggen indeed intended to lure Lin Mu and Flying Dragon Sect into a trap, thereby maliciously framing him!
