Chapter 889 906: Sleep
Lin Mu could tell that An Qi'Er was worried, and it seemed that this concern was somehow related to him!"Haha, if you have something, just say it. What's so hard to talk about between us?"
"Brother Lin, actually I feel like we're not very suitable for each other, so, so we..." An Qi'Er spoke without daring to look straight at Lin Mu, instead shifting her gaze toward the front of the car.
"Why?"
"I admit, at first I had a bit of a crush on you. You indeed gradually entered my heart, but the more we interacted, the more I realized we are completely different people, I mean, I..."
An Qi'Er lightly bit her lip. One must admit, Lin Mu in her heart indeed appeared manly and exceptional, so exceptional that it made An Qi'Er, an ordinary girl, feel inadequate, thinking she might not match up to him!
"Uh... girl, why are you saying this?" Lin Mu felt a pang in his stomach, "Let me put it this way, we're all the same kind of people, I'm just an ordinary person too, so there's nothing unsuitable, don't you think?"
At that moment, Lin Mu felt extremely frustrated inside. Is it a crime to be wealthy? Damn it, saying things like this either makes you show off or breed resentment!
"But Brother Lin, I'm just an ordinary teacher with no prestigious background or status, and you..."
"Oh, what's wrong with me? I'm just an ordinary person too, should rich people only marry other rich people? If rich people marry rich people, who gets to spend the money?" Lin Mu chuckled and started spouting nonsense again, "Money is just an external thing, I bet you understand these truths better than I do. If having money means not finding true love, then I'd rather not make money, what's the point of making money then?"
An Qi'Er looked at Lin Mu, and couldn't help but be amused by his antics, "Brother Lin, making money can provide a good material life!"
"Uh... indeed, that's true. Then what do you say is unsuitable between us? If you say we're unsuitable, then you're despising rich people." Lin Mu grinned.
"No way, I just feel like we're a bit distant!" An Qi'Er said.
"Hey, you're overthinking it. Aren't we perfectly compatible?"
"Uh..." An Qi'Er was rendered speechless by Lin Mu.
"Alright, it's late. You should go back and rest, I also need to go upstairs and rest!" An Qi'Er eased her mood, deciding to go with the flow. Truth be told, she couldn't bear to leave Lin Mu either, the time spent with him felt like the most stable period of her life, very fulfilling and safe.
"Yeah, oh right, I forgot to mention one thing." Lin Mu suddenly said.
"Oh? What thing?"
"Hey, I'll give you a stamp!" Lin Mu said, leaning in and giving An Qi'Er a peck on her fair cheek.
An Qi'Er blushed, said nothing, opened the car door, and ran upstairs without looking back. Lin Mu pulled out a cigarette, smoked for a while until An Qi'Er's room light turned on, then drove home.
Lin Mu called Qi Manlin on his way, the Chief Police Officer was still at the police station with a determined vibe. However, the bodyguard Earth Wolf was putting up with utmost hardship, as he had to protect the Chief Officer at the station. Among the beauties around Lin Mu, Earth Wolf had the heaviest burden, after all, there were two forces targeting Qi Manlin, one being the Tsar Group, and another group of assassins hiding in the shadows, hard to guard against.
Lin Mu was confident in handling any attack from the opponents, but his main worry was the Chief Officer, as it seemed the crux of the issue centered around the Chief Officer.
"Wild Girl, look at the time, still working? Don't eat or sleep?" Lin Mu said helplessly.
"Not going back yet, I have plenty of things to deal with!" Qi Manlin replied.
"Damn, knowing this earlier, I would have kept you as a squad leader. Now you're busy all day long, aren't you afraid of exhaustion?" Lin Mu complained.
"Mind your own business!"
"Uh... it's not you I'm worried about, I'm worried about Earth Wolf, alright? You're making people accompany you for late nights too!" Lin Mu said.
"Pfft, that guy has fallen asleep on the sofa, sleeping soundly, so no need to worry. If you don't believe me, just listen, can't you hear him snoring like a storm?" Qi Manlin said.
"Uh... just now I thought there was a pig beside you, turns out it's Earth Wolf!" Lin Mu felt like spitting blood, damn, are there bodyguards like Earth Wolf?
"Whatever, so you really don't plan to come back?" Lin Mu asked again.
"Not going back. Okay then, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first!" Qi Manlin said, seemingly recalling something, "Oh right, did you investigate the hotel?"
"Already been, and the person was a beauty." Lin Mu grinned.
"Screw off! Bastard, who asked you about that, quickly tell me what's the situation?" Qi Manlin fumed.
"Investigated, the opponent covered well. I'm not sure if there's a problem, but my intuition tells me this Sharapova is not simple, a woman of great means, and her fighting skills are terrifying!" Lin Mu said amusedly.
That night when looking for her at the hotel, Lin Mu could easily sense the aura naturally emanating from her, though provoking her, Sharapova didn't actually make a move, which puzzled Lin Mu. How many women in the world can remain so composed?
Even Lin Mu couldn't figure out how terrifying Sharapova truly is, and with his sharp Seventh Sense, only highly exceptional people would give him such a feeling, and Sharapova certainly has such prowess! Even Lin Mu couldn't test her!
Lin Mu wanted to further probe, so he didn't hesitate to play the flirtatious card, teasing Sharapova a bit. But who knew Sharapova remained calm, not letting Lin Mu see through her.
"What do we do then?" Qi Manlin asked.
"Tomorrow, you should personally bring people to the hotel, take her to the police station for questioning. This person must have a background, whether she's Sharapova or not, investigating such a powerful person would benefit us. Anyway, the feeling she gives me is she's Sharapova in person!" Lin Mu said confidently, although there's no evidence, he trusts his instincts, his Seventh Sense never lies.
"Alright then, we'll talk tomorrow. I'll focus on work for now!" Qi Manlin said and hung up.
After hanging up, Lin Mu had just gotten home.
"Brother Lin." As Lin Mu opened the door, Xia Yuyi called him while wearing pajamas.
"Yu Yi, it's late, why aren't you resting?" Lin Mu approached with a grin.
"I can't sleep, so I came down for a cup of coffee!" Xia Yuyi pouted cutely.
Lin Mu sat down next to Xia Yuyi, a fragrant scent unique to girls wafted over, with an intoxicating feeling, "Coffee makes you more alert, how about..."
"How about what?" Xia Yuyi asked.
"Hey, how about letting me hug you to sleep!" Lin Mu grinned, reaching out to hold Xia Yuyi close, figuring everyone was asleep and no one was around to see.
