Chapter 858 875: Sure Enough, It's an Inside Job
Early the next morning, Lin Mu slowly awoke from his slumber, looked at Man Luo who was already awake beside him, and smiled, a unique taste in the air. Last night's passion still echoed in his mind, making him get up late; the wild night was truly exhausting!Man Luo looked at Lin Mu, all her previous arrogance gone, as if Lin Mu's conquest of her last night had washed away all of her pride.
"You're awake!" Lin Mu said.
"You should leave!" Man Luo said somewhat coldly, dressing as she spoke.
"Hey, girl, was last night good?" Lin Mu grinned.
Man Luo recalled the night's passion; she did enjoy it, but she still felt awkward. She was an assassin, someone who shouldn't have feelings; yet Man Luo couldn't seem to forget the tenderness of that night.
Indeed, she was an assassin, but first and foremost, she was a woman! So, she had to make this man stay away from her; only by staying away could she try to forget him and forget everything.
"Hurry up and leave; I don't want anything more to do with you!" Man Luo said coldly, getting up unapologetically and putting on her clothes.
Lin Mu looked at Man Luo, now clad in a black leather jacket, appearing sexy and hot again, "Hey, girl..."
"Nothing more to say, put on your clothes and go, I have other things to do, I'm leaving first!" Man Luo said, then opened the door and walked out.
"Damn, what's this about!" Lin Mu shrugged helplessly, but reminiscing last night's passion, it was indeed enthralling, especially Man Luo's hot body, her delicate skin, the intense pleasure, and the feeling when holding Man Luo's slender waist was simply irresistible.
Women, truly are the most unfathomable creatures in the world! Lin Mu scratched his head, and at this moment, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Sophie calling.
"Hey, Feifei!" Lin Mu said with a smile as he answered the phone.
"Where are you? I didn't see you early this morning," Sophie asked over the phone.
"Ah, oh, I'm out getting breakfast for you, seeing you were still asleep, I didn't want to disturb you!" Lin Mu lied without batting an eye; he's so good at lying nowadays, it's almost as refined as Zhou Xun and her crew's acting skills!
Of course, you can't tell the truth about sneaking around outside! If she found out, well, she might not go mad, but she'd certainly be angry. Treating women is like treating children; you have to coax them, and sometimes, you have to tell a little white lie. There's no choice, women are the most suspicious and emotional creatures on earth!
"Oh, okay, at least you have some conscience. Hurry back after buying things; Zhou Runze just called me, inviting me over to his place!" Sophie said.
"What are we going to his place for? Have they found those jewels?" Lin Mu asked.
"I don't know either; we'll find out when we get there," Sophie replied.
"Alright, I'm heading back now!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu dressed up and went downstairs, not seeing Man Luo anywhere, only a few waitstaff sitting in the lobby, looking at Lin Mu with peculiar eyes as he descended!
Though they didn't know what happened last night, there was always a strange feeling, whether from seeing Sister Manluo's expression or Lin Mu being unperturbed and even appearing smug. They all felt something had happened!
Of course, as subordinates, they shouldn't ask what they shouldn't know, so naturally, they said nothing. Lin Mu didn't ask where Man Luo went either, and left the bar directly. Outside, he bought some breakfast before catching a taxi back to the hotel!
Back in the hotel room, Lin Mu and Sophie had a quick breakfast, then changed outfits and took a taxi to Zhou Runze's residence, Lizhi Slope Mansion!
Led by the butler, Lin Mu and Sophie entered Zhou Runze's mansion. The mansion was grand, a manor in front with greenery lining the roadsides, showing Zhou Runze's focus on cultivation and health. Lin Mu also keenly noticed the hidden experts among the plants lining the roads; there were people at intervals, only two guards at the entrance of the mansion, seemingly relaxed but not so, as the experts were hidden within!
After passing through the hundred-meter manor, Lin Mu and Sophie entered the mansion.
"Haha, Miss Su, Brother Lin, you've arrived!" Zhou Runze greeted with a smile, shaking hands with Lin Mu and Sophie.
Zhou Runze seemed in good spirits, which puzzled Lin Mu. Could this guy have found those jewels that went missing last night?
"Please, sit over here!" Zhou Runze gestured, and Lin Mu and Sophie sat down in succession.
The housekeeper poured three cups of tea, Zhou Runze waved his hand, and the housekeeper nodded and retreated, leaving only Zhou Runze, Lin Mu, and Sophie in the living room.
"Boss Zhou, why did you call me here so early?" Sophie asked gracefully.
Sophie initially thought Zhou Runze summoned her to discuss finding the jewels, but from the start, she noticed Zhou Runze's good mood, sharing a query with Lin Mu: could Zhou Runze have found the jewels? Otherwise, what else could make him so happy?
"Haha, Miss Su, I've called you for a talk about our jewelry cooperation plan, and the strategy for entering Wan," Zhou Runze chuckled.
Sophie frowned slightly, smiled, and asked, "Boss Zhou, did you find the ten treasures?"
"Found them, indeed, to be precise, the jewels were never lost!" Zhou Runze said.
"Never lost?" Sophie asked, looking puzzled at Zhou Runze.
