Chapter 965 982: Catastrophe Approaches
"Damn it, this is my turf, can't I come here?" Lin Mu glared at Gray Wolf and said.Gray Wolf quickly cracked a grin, "Boss, I didn't mean that, it's just that our Boss Lin is a very busy man, shouldn't you be too busy for this?"
"Stop kissing my ass, what were you up to just now?" Lin Mu asked.
"Uh..." Gray Wolf squinted his small eyes, his sleazy expression laid bare, "Hehe, Boss, I was looking for true love!"
"True love my ass!" Lin Mu gave Gray Wolf a punch, finding true love among the escorts, damn, he dared to say that! But Lin Mu couldn't be bothered to say more to him, so he said, "Call Golden Wolf and Earth Wolf, it's been a while since the four of us got together to play cards!"
"Huh?" Gray Wolf was taken aback, "Boss, don't you have a ton of things to do? How come you're in the mood to play cards?"
"Damn, you're in the mood to flirt, but I'm not allowed to play cards? Are you saying I'm delaying your flirting?"
"Uh... no, no!" Gray Wolf grinned, "I'll call them over right now!"
"To my office, I'll be waiting for you there!" Lin Mu said and then went upstairs.
More than ten minutes later, Gray Wolf, Earth Wolf, and Golden Wolf pushed open the door and walked in; these three guys were Lin Mu's best brothers on the North African battlefield, and they often played cards together.
"Boss, have you figured out the business with Sharapova yet?" Earth Wolf asked as he walked in, and rightly so, as this was a critical period; any slight oversight could give Sharapova an opening.
"Not yet, but it's close. Yesterday I found out some details, and I'm ready to close the net!" Lin Mu said with a hearty smile.
"Damn, then why not hurry up and take care of that woman?"
"No rush, the time isn't ripe yet!" Lin Mu said, "Come, let's play cards, it's been a long time since I've played cards with you guys."
"Damn, who doesn't know you're the Gambling God of North Africa? I bet you're looking to make us pay your salary, huh?" Gray Wolf said disdainfully from the side.
"Based on skills, man, you can make me pay your salary too!" Lin Mu chuckled.
Gray Wolf shot a scornful look; in his impression, he could never win against Lin Mu. But of course, Gray Wolf and the others accepted the outcome of their losses, realizing that bad luck and bad cards weren't something they could blame on others!
Anyway, feeling bored, the four Wild Wolves fondly remembered the old times, so they began chatting and playing cards in the office.
Meanwhile, Qi Manlin also increased police forces to begin the cleanup of unidentified Russians in Wancheng, as if casting a large net against Sharapova's group in the city. The saying goes, heaven's net is wide, but none can escape it; as long as criminals set foot on Wancheng's land, this net will gradually tighten, and they'll be caught sooner or later.
And this police operation is not just for show; Qi Manlin specifically mobilized criminal police and armed police forces for a joint operation. Some observant citizens already noticed a marked increase in patrol cars in the city center, making it feel almost like martial law, creating a tense atmosphere across the whole city.
Of course, all of this was within Lin Mu's control. Although this could be dangerous for Qi Manlin, it was the best way to deal with Sharapova. With the police's action, Sharapova's Russians would undoubtedly find themselves in a tough position, and when they are pressed, they'll make risky moves against Qi Manlin.
This was the trap Lin Mu set; as soon as they dared to make a move on Qi Manlin, Lin Mu would have a way to capture their crimes. Once Sharapova slipped up, it wouldn't matter if they were the mayor of Russia's Khabarovsk; committing crimes on Huaxia soil would still subject them to Huaxia's legal sanctions.
But the whole day went by, and Lin Mu and the others didn't go out, just played cards with Gray Wolf, Earth Wolf, and Golden Wolf in the CEO office of Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion. Golden Wolf and Earth Wolf seemed fine, but Gray Wolf had a frustrating look all over his face, always thinking about the wild and coquettish girls in the Foot Bath Pavilion.
As night fell, the game got boring. Lin Mu stretched lazily, stood up from the sofa. They hadn't moved since noon, merely had someone bring in some boxed lunches, and though they hadn't exercised, hunger still nagged at them.
"Guys, I've had enough, I'm treating, let's go drink!" Lin Mu grinned with a small stack of money he won in hand. Of course, this money was won from Gray Wolf, Golden Wolf, and Earth Wolf, totaling nearly ten thousand yuan.
As soon as Lin Mu said this, the three of them simultaneously shot Lin Mu a scornful look. This money was won from them; even being treated to a meal didn't lift their spirits.
"Damn, don't want to eat, right? Great, it saves me money then, I'll eat on my own!" Lin Mu chuckled and turned to leave.
"Hey, chief, chief!" Gray Wolf sleazily smiled, grabbing Lin Mu, "Chief, we're all hungry, let's eat together!"
"Damn it!" Lin Mu cursed softly, then patted Gray Wolf on the chest, "Come on, guys!"
"Yeah, let's go, let's eat it all, I'm starving, we must eat back all the money we lost!"
"Exactly, exactly, got to eat it back!" Golden Wolf and Earth Wolf echoed with Gray Wolf.
"Damn, you heartless bastards!"
At that moment, Lin Mu's phone rang. Lin Mu glanced at the caller; it was Xiong Jian again. Man, this brother-in-law was really dedicated!
"Aha, Brother Xiong, come join us for a drink! My treat!" Lin Mu answered the phone with a grin.
"Drink your ass, where are you now?" Xiong Jian cursed, sounding very anxious.
"I'm at the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion, what's up?" Meanwhile, Lin Mu's keen Seventh Sense began warning him, he suddenly felt something off, as if something big was about to happen, and a very intense kind of situation!
If it were just trivial matters, Big Bro Xiong wouldn't be this anxious; with his capability, almost nothing could stump him! The fact his brother-in-law was so worried now clearly meant the situation was beyond his control.
"I don't have time to chat, you need to get out of the Foot Bath Pavilion right away, my father received orders from above to surround you. They've confirmed your location via satellite, and my father has already headed over with a battalion, leave quickly, it's urgent!" Xiong Jian said anxiously.
"Damn, a battalion, over a hundred and twenty men, more than a hundred and twenty guns, they're really planning to flatten the Foot Bath Pavilion!" Lin Mu said, feeling a pang of discomfort.
"No time for that now, you need to leave, I'll be there soon to help!" Xiong Jian said.
