Chapter 1426 - 1441: Lin Mu’s Loyalty
"No, it should be Celestial Eagle who brought people along." At this time, King Kong stood beside him and said.
"How do you know?" Lin Mu asked.
"Because of this mark." Celestial Eagle pointed to a plum blossom-shaped mark and said.
"What mark is this?" Lin Mu queried.
"This is a unique mark of the Celestial Eagle Gang. It’s considered a special sign too." King Kong said.
"It seems it really is Tang Hongwei’s doing." Lin Mu said.
"Boss, what do you think we should do next? Should we look for Tang Hongwei?" King Kong asked.
Lin Mu waved a hand and said, "Let’s wait for the call first. Since they want to harm Haihua, they’re certainly going to threaten me. I believe it won’t be long before they call me. Let’s go back and wait for news."
At this moment, Lin Mu indeed had no other way, after all, this isn’t Wancheng, searching for Haihua’s whereabouts is like looking for a needle in a haystack, impossible to find. Moreover, this is Tang Hongwei’s territory.
However, this time Lin Mu was truly angry. The enemy could target him, but to touch a weak woman was absolutely something Lin Mu couldn’t tolerate. People have targeted his women before, but the result was always the same - death.
And at this time Lin Mu’s phone rang again. He glanced at the incoming call, it was an unfamiliar number.
Lin Mu didn’t hesitate and coldly answered the call, "Who is this?"
"Don’t ask who I am, as long as you are Lin Mu!" A sinister voice came through the phone.
"Indeed, I am Lin Mu. Haihua is with you, right?" Lin Mu said coldly, giving off a strong sense of pressure.
"Hehe, yes, it seems you already know. Haihua is indeed with me." The guy on the phone laughed, completely contrary to Lin Mu’s mood.
"What do you want, say it, cut the crap, I don’t have time for your nonsense." Lin Mu coldly said.
"Don’t rush, why rush? Rest assured, we won’t harm her for now. As long as you cooperate with us, she will be fine. But if you don’t cooperate, well, you know the consequences!" The other party threatened fiercely.
Lin Mu held the handset, took a deep breath, then exhaled long, trying to calm his emotions a bit. With Haihua being captured, Lin Mu’s emotions were a bit agitated. After all, this woman loves him very much, and Lin Mu is obviously very concerned about the woman who loves him.
Although there are more than a dozen women in the Lin Family Mansion, seemingly not caring for this extra one, Lin Mu is a man of true affection. In his eyes, his first woman is true love, indispensable to him, so he treats every woman equally, loving them with a sincere heart.
"Alright, say what you have to say." Lin Mu exhaled long and slowly said.
"Hehe, that’s better, it’s good to have a nice chat. Let me introduce myself first, I am Huo Feng. I think you should know who I am, so I won’t need an introduction." Huo Feng said with a smile.
"Alright, Huo Feng, what do you want me to do for you to release Haihua, say it." Lin Mu said calmly.
"Actually, you don’t need to do much. I need ten billion, ten billion should not be a problem for you, right?" Huo Feng said with a smile.
"Ten billion? Hehe, your appetite is indeed not small! It’s simply daylight robbery!" Lin Mu sneered coldly.
"Of course, if it were someone else, I wouldn’t ask for so much. But for you, this is just some petty cash, right?" Huo Feng said with a smile.
"Alright, I understand, but do you think I have ten billion cash?" Lin Mu asked.
"Hehe, don’t worry, if no cash, wire transfer can work." Huo Feng said with a smile.
"Wire transfer? Do you think that’s secure?" Lin Mu said.
"I asked you to transfer, definitely it’s secure. You don’t need to worry about this, besides, this is just the first task. After finishing this, there’s a second task. If it’s not handled well, your woman will suffer greatly." Huo Feng laughed.
"Enough with the nonsense, send the account over, I will transfer the money to you as fast as possible. Also, let me remind you, if Haihua suffers a bit, I guarantee you will die miserably." Lin Mu warned.
"Don’t worry, as long as you do things properly, she definitely won’t be harmed. You should understand, our target is you, not her, so we don’t want to harm the innocent. But if pushed to the brink, then it’s uncertain. So you’d better not play any tricks." Huo Feng reminded.
"Alright then." Lin Mu said and hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Earth Wolf asked on the side, "Boss, how did it go?"
"Haihua is in their hands, temporarily not in any danger, but they want ten billion ransom." Lin Mu simply stated.
"Damn, ten billion, are they robbing us? Damn." Earth Wolf couldn’t help but curse after hearing.
"Ten billion? Hehe, they won’t even get a dime from me. I will make him pay a hefty price." Lin Mu said coldly. Trying to extort him is possible, but the price will be higher. There were attempts to extort him before, but the end result was always the same - dead or crippled!
"What should we do then? We don’t know Haihua’s whereabouts. If we don’t pay, they will certainly harm Haihua, and then we’re powerless." Earth Wolf asked.
"Don’t worry, I have a way." Lin Mu said.
Soon, Lin Mu took out his phone and gave Xiong Xiaoxiao a call.
At this time, to determine the address, the only reliance can be on Xiong Xiaoxiao, this genius little hacker.
This is the only way to ascertain Haihua’s position; the phone connected quickly.
"Hehe, Brother Lin, how did you have time to call me?" Xiong Xiaoxiao laughed and asked.
At this moment, Lin Mu indeed wasn’t in the mood to joke. With Haihua in danger, it’s simply a race against time, so Lin Mu seriously said, "Xiaoxiao, I have something important that needs your help."
Xiong Xiaoxiao probably heard the seriousness in Lin Mu’s voice, then became serious as well, saying, "Brother Lin, what’s the matter? Just say it."
"Help me locate a mobile signal somewhere in Handan City, can you find it?" Lin Mu asked.
"I can try, as long as there’s a signal, I can find it." Xiong Xiaoxiao said.
"Alright." Lin Mu said and relayed that phone number to Xiong Xiaoxiao.
"Brother Lin, hold on a bit, I’ll check right away." Xiong Xiaoxiao said.
About five to six minutes later, Xiong Xiaoxiao said, "Brother Lin, it’s been found. On Baidu Map, the address shows Handan Central Street 21, Tang Family."
Lin Mu heard Xiong Xiaoxiao mention this address, familiar to him, isn’t this the Tang Family Mansion where Tang Zhilong used to live?
"Are you sure?" Lin Mu said.
