Chapter 1425 - 1440: Kidnapping
"Just now, I didn’t have a choice. Actually, Lin Mu not only possesses assets worth over a billion, more importantly, he is ruthless. Everything I did earlier was to save you. Do you know about the affairs of the big families in Handan?" Pang Hua Bin asked Pang Baiwu.
"I’ve heard a bit about it." Pang Baiwu nodded and said.
"The person who took them down is Lin Mu, and the descendants of the three big families have all been crippled by Lin Mu. Do you understand now why I did what I did earlier?" Pang Hua Bin said.
When Pang Baiwu heard Pang Hua Bin say this, he was dumbfounded, "Dad, that person is him?"
"What did you think?" Pang Hua Bin casually took out a cigarette and lit it, "Do you still feel ashamed now?"
At this moment, Pang Baiwu felt a surge of emotions. He didn’t know when, but sweat the size of beans started to appear on his forehead, "I don’t feel ashamed anymore."
"That’s good." Pang Hua Bin patted Pang Baiwu on the shoulder, "Be more discreet in the future, understand?"
"Mhm, got it, Dad." Pang Baiwu nodded. At this moment, he also felt a wave of fear. If they really provoked Lin Mu, the consequences would be imaginable. Even those few big families in Handan couldn’t deal with him, let alone their own family’s situation.
"And also, don’t underestimate others casually in the future. Always remember one thing: a barking dog won’t bite." Pang Hua Bin reminded.
"Mmm, I’ll remember." Pang Baiwu nodded.
...
On the other hand, after Pang Baiwu and the others left, Haihua and a few of her friends resumed drinking and singing cheerfully, and Lin Mu joined in, forgetting about King Kong and Earth Wolf outside.
After the party ended, Earth Wolf and King Kong expressed their disdain towards Lin Mu, mocking him as an animal who only wanted women, not friends, and forget about his brothers waiting bitterly outside as soon as he got a woman.
Lin Mu could only grin and apologize, but still received disdainful looks from the two.
Fortunately, Lin Mu was thick-skinned, and naturally didn’t mind. After all, these two guys weren’t women, so they could mock him all they wanted. Anyway, having a woman around was great.
After saying goodbye to Haihua’s friends, Lin Mu and Haihua drove back to the Hai Family, when they received a call from Erwa.
"Young lady, bad news, Brother Dao got beaten up." Erwa said anxiously.
"What? My dad got beaten up? What happened?" Haihua said in shock. To say, in the realms of both justice and crime in Handan, there aren’t many who dare lay hands on Scarface, unless they offended those super large criminal syndicates, which made Haihua a bit fearful.
"It can’t be explained in one or two sentences. Our restaurant also got smashed up, young lady, you should come over and have a look first." Erwa said.
"Got it, I’ll drive over immediately." Haihua replied, then hung up the phone.
She then said to Lin Mu, "Honey, my dad got beaten up, I need to go over there now."
"Why don’t I go with you?" Lin Mu said.
"No need, it’s nothing major, I’ll go deal with it first. If not, I’ll call you. Haven’t you had dinner yet? Go eat first, I’ll be back soon." Haihua said.
"Alright, be careful on the road, call me immediately if anything happens." Lin Mu nodded and said.
"Mmm," Haihua said, then got into the car.
Haihua drove away, while Lin Mu, along with King Kong and Earth Wolf, felt hungry. Fortunately, there was a maid at the Hai Family’s house who had prepared lunch. The three sat down to chat and eat. Just after finishing the meal, Lin Mu’s phone rang.
Lin Mu looked at it; it was a call from Haihua.
"Hello, Haihua, what’s up?" Lin Mu answered the phone and asked.
"Honey, come quickly, someone is tailing me." Haihua said anxiously.
Bang bang... The sound of car crashes came through the phone.
It sounded extremely dangerous. Lin Mu was instantly startled and immediately rose from his seat, "Haihua, where are you?"
"I’m heading towards Hai’s Restaurant, but it seems like they’ve blocked the road there. I’m heading towards Handan Reservoir." Haihua said anxiously.
"Alright, hold on a bit, I’m driving over right now." Lin Mu said.
"Mmm, honey, hurry up." Haihua said, then hung up the phone.
"King Kong, Earth Wolf, you two quickly drive to the Handan Reservoir, someone is after Haihua. I’ll drive a car there myself, hurry." Lin Mu said, then ran outside.
Leaving the Hai Family’s house, Lin Mu drove towards Handan Reservoir. King Kong and Earth Wolf didn’t dare delay either and followed suit.
Lin Mu drove at an extremely fast pace, continuously accelerating, hoping Haihua would be fine, hoping she could outdrive them with her skills, but it was only wishful thinking. Since someone wanted to make a move against her, they must have been well-prepared, Haihua was definitely in trouble.
No matter what, what Lin Mu needed to do was to reach over in the shortest time possible, hoping Haihua could escape this calamity.
Lin Mu kept his horn pressed as he sped forward. Ten minutes later, Lin Mu arrived at Handan Reservoir. Soon, Lin Mu spotted a parked car at the corner of the bridge which resembled Haihua’s car.
Getting closer, Lin Mu confirmed it was indeed Haihua’s car. However, what worried Lin Mu was that there was no one inside the car, and the door was open.
Lin Mu parked the car, walked forward, checked, and saw that the rear tire of the car had already been sunken. Moreover, on the tire, there was a big hole; needless to say, it must have been hit by a bullet.
"Damn it." Lin Mu cursed, realizing he was still a step too late. Lin Mu took out his phone and dialed Haihua’s number. Of course, he did not rule out the possibility that Haihua managed to escape, though the chances were slim. Even if it’s slim, Lin Mu needed to try.
He dialed Haihua’s number, and surprisingly, the phone started to ring, revealing a glimmer of hope – the call was actually connecting.
But soon Lin Mu furrowed his brows, seeming to hear the ringtone coming from the car. Following the sound, Lin Mu looked inside the car and found Haihua’s phone that had fallen beneath the car.
Lin Mu picked up the phone and hung up, seeing the situation, he understood that something had happened to Haihua. She must have been taken away.
Just then, King Kong and Earth Wolf also arrived.
"Boss, how’s it?" Earth Wolf asked upon his arrival.
"We’re too late, Haihua has been taken by them." Lin Mu said.
"Damn it, those idiots, how can they lay hands on a woman, they’re not even human," Earth Wolf couldn’t help but curse.
"If I find them, I’ll certainly not let them off." Lin Mu said coldly.
"Boss, do you think this was done by that old fox Tang Hongwei?" Earth Wolf asked.
"It should be him. In this situation, it’s likely no one else." Lin Mu nodded and said.
