Chapter 1375 - 1390: Hidden Lethal Intent
Is this guy really that ugly? Is there no chance of redemption?
"So none of you have seen him?" Lin Mu asked.
"No, none of us have seen him," King Kong nodded.
Lin Mu shook his head. It’s really hard to imagine! Does the Celestial Eagle have to keep himself so mysterious?
According to King Kong, with his incredible skills and unknown face, if he ambushed someone, they would hardly be able to react. This guy is really something!
This was giving Lin Mu a headache. Initially, there was just a feud with the Tang Sect, but due to the involvement of the Celestial Eagle Gang, Lin Mu took out six Celestial Eagle assassins overnight, severely weakening their combat strength. The Flying Dragon and Celestial Eagle were now definitely at odds.
But looking back, it’s really nothing to be afraid of. If he has the ability, he can openly seek revenge. Why be so mysterious?
"So, what do you think?" Lin Mu looked at King Kong and asked.
"Nothing, I’m still thinking," King Kong shook his head and said.
"..." Lin Mu was speechless, realizing this guy had been in a daze just thinking about this!
Of course, Lin Mu’s thoughts were simple and clear. If you dare, come for revenge. When faced with danger, you should confront it. Lin Mu wasn’t afraid, and there’s no need to waste so many brain cells.
Since King Kong seemed a bit worried, Lin Mu let him think about it while he and Haihua went shopping. The most important thing was to enjoy a wonderful life!
Though the problem wasn’t completely resolved, it shouldn’t interfere with a leisurely lifestyle. When someone targets you, you should face it calmly. Hiding and being afraid is useless.
So, at Haihua’s suggestion, Lin Mu accompanied her on a shopping spree, enjoying themselves without concern. However, Lin Mu made a valuable observation: he preferred not to accompany shopaholic girls because they could be terrifying, but bold Haihua sympathized with Lin Mu, saying they would just casually browse!
Only then did Lin Mu agree to go shopping with Haihua.
But shopping for girls is like drugs for men—more addictive as you go. The girls get more addicted the longer they shop, unable to stop.
The shopping lasted all morning, leaving Lin Mu utterly exhausted. While his legs weren’t too tired, his heart was weary from seeing countless fashion bags and jewelry, with stars dazzling before his eyes!
Fortunately, it was lunchtime, and Haihua reluctantly paused, allowing Lin Mu to summarize a new experience: for any girl, shopping is their nature, and nothing can stop their shopaholic instincts.
Taking advantage of mealtime, Lin Mu took a lovely break. Because of the exhaustion from shopping, he polished off the table, fully embodying the glorious tradition of being a foodie!
Feeling satisfied, Lin Mu realized life was beautiful and fulfilling. But just as he was enjoying the delightful food and scenery, his phone rang.
The call was from Nanny Yu. Seeing her call, Lin Mu was puzzled. Although Nanny Yu was just a director in name, she was good at directing and choosing actors, with a unique vision, earning Lin Mu’s trust. She essentially managed the film company’s affairs.
As long as no major incidents occurred, Nanny Yu had the authority to make decisions and would just need to report in the monthly summary. So she seldom called the boss; this sudden call must be for something significant.
Lin Mu answered, but before he could speak, Nanny Yu urgently said, "Boss, it’s bad. There’s an incident."
"Don’t panic. What happened?" Lin Mu suddenly had a bad feeling, and over the phone, he vaguely heard loud commotion nearby.
"Boss, today was the film base’s opening day, drawing over ten thousand people. But just now, a group appeared and started hacking people at the film base, killing over forty and injuring more than a hundred, including ordinary tourists," Nanny Yu said.
Lin Mu shivered at hearing this. If it was gangster violence with many injured or dead, it could be expected, but slaughtering so many ordinary citizens changed the nature entirely.
These ordinary people encountered trouble at Lin Mu’s carefully managed film base, causing him a lot of distress, knowing the impact wouldn’t be small!
Clearly, someone was scheming! Given the Flying Dragon Gang’s influence in Wancheng, even in the entire Pearl River Delta, no one dared blatantly do such things. It’s insane!
"Have the perpetrators been caught?" Lin Mu asked.
"They’ve been caught and are fully under our control!" Nanny Yu said.
Lin Mu pondered and said, "Hand them over to Qi Manlin. An incident of this scale can’t be hidden from the media. Let Qi Manlin issue a statement on behalf of the police to calm things down. Only then can we minimize the negative impact on our film company. Also, try to appease the victims’ families and stop further unrest. I’ll fly back immediately."
"Alright, I’ll arrange it," Nanny Yu nodded in agreement.
After hanging up, Lin Mu angrily slammed the table. This hacking incident would surely be exposed by major media, severely impacting the film base, especially on the opening day. Someone was clearly targeting Lin Mu and the Flying Dragon.
This whole situation infuriates him—not just the film base, but that they injured innocent civilians. It’s outrageous and unacceptable!
Apparently, the perpetrators would stoop to any unscrupulous means to achieve their goals, committing outrageous acts of cruelty!
With Wancheng experiencing such a crisis, Lin Mu couldn’t stay in Handan City any longer. He had to urgently return to Wancheng to handle the situation and suppress it first. If the police declare it’s a criminal reprisal unrelated to the film base, the impact on the Flying Dragon Group won’t be too large. However, handling this requires Lin Mu’s maneuvering.
If the gang had a vendetta against Flying Dragon, escalating into extreme gang warfare, the film base’s impact would be different.
But what you fear is what comes! An hour after the hacking incident, a sensational post went online, titled: "Flying Dragon Group involved in gangster conflict; vendetta led to retaliatory hacking with a hundred casualties!" Soon, with online influencer’s intervention, the post spread rapidly across major forums.
