“What?
How could you be so ruthless!”
Lin Mushu said with a strange look on her face.
She hadn’t expected Lin Haochen to do something so ruthless.
“He dared to drug your drink.
This punishment is getting off easy.”
As he spoke, Lin Haochen called Bei Mu.
He simply told him to get two dogs for Liu Hong and then hung up.
That was all Bei Mu needed to hear.
He knew exactly what to do.
Qihui Long Country, Southwest Headquarters.
“Pres-President Deng, who on earth is that Lin… Lin Haochen?” Huang Yichen stammered, trembling before Deng Wenbin.
He knew he’d caused a huge disaster tonight.
‘I just don’t know if I’ll make it out of this alive.’
But Deng Wenbin, sitting at his desk, ignored Huang Yichen completely.
He just kept staring at his phone, which only made Huang Yichen’s anxiety skyrocket.
‘Who on earth is this Lin Haochen, to make even President Deng panic like this?’
Even now, Huang Yichen could still picture the look on Deng Wenbin’s face as he left the venue earlier.
He had been even more panicked than Huang Yichen was right now.
Deng Wenbin waited for a full five minutes before a call finally came through.
“Hello, this is Deng Wenbin!”
The moment Deng Wenbin answered the phone, he shot up from his seat, his face a mask of reverence.
“This is Bei Mu.
Lord Netherworld King asked me to tell you to act as if tonight never happened.
However, a second time will not be permitted!”
With that, Bei Mu hung up without waiting for a reply.
The tension finally drained from Deng Wenbin, and he let out a huge sigh of relief.
He collapsed back into his seat, the weight that had been crushing his chest finally lifted.
‘Two major disasters nearly struck today.
Even with my nerves of steel, I can’t take this!’
‘Thankfully, the Netherworld King didn’t press the issue.’
Seeing Deng Wenbin sigh in relief, Huang Yichen spoke up again.
“President Deng, about tonight…”
Deng Wenbin cut him off.
“Do you know who that was on the phone just now?”
Huang Yichen shook his head, puzzled.
He’d faintly heard the name Bei Mu, but it didn’t ring a bell.
“The person who called me is named Bei Mu.
You might not know the name Bei Mu, but you’ve definitely heard his other title: the King of Ice!”
“The King of Ice?!
President Deng, are you talking about the leader of the world’s second-ranked assassin organization, the King of Ice?”
When Huang Yichen heard the three words ‘King of Ice,’ his legs began to tremble.
Someone of his stature would have had some exposure to that world.
He knew exactly how terrifying the King of Ice was!
‘How could Lin Haochen possibly command someone of that caliber?’
“That’s right.
It was him.”
“Pres-Pres-President Deng, did Lin Haochen ask him to handle to-today’s matter?”
Huang Yichen’s voice was stuttering, and his legs trembled involuntarily.
The King of Ice… That’s a man who could successfully assassinate the ruler of a country!
Getting him to take action isn’t something money alone can achieve!
As Huang Yichen was still trying to guess Lin Haochen’s identity, Deng Wenbin continued, “Lin Haochen didn’t ask him to come.”
Huang Yichen felt a sliver of relief at that, but Deng Wenbin’s next words nearly made him pass out on the spot.
“He works exclusively for Lin Haochen.
And doing so is the greatest honor of his life!”
…
“Haochen, did you really have Bei Mu bring two dogs to Liu Hong?
Isn’t that a bit…
much?”
On the way back, the more Lin Mushu thought about it, the more unsettling it seemed.
‘If that really happens, I’ll feel sick just looking at Liu Hong from now on.’
“It’s fine.
Before long, Liu Hong will leave the Muchen Group on his own.”
“How do you know he’ll leave the Muchen Group?
Now that Muchen Group has secured the Celestial Valley Exchange project, things will only get better.
As the second-largest shareholder, he has no reason to leave.”
Lin Mushu said, confused.
While she also wanted Liu Hong to leave the Muchen Group, that was clearly easier said than done.
“You’ll see.”
Lin Haochen said with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, his smile vanished.
“What’s wrong?
Huh?
You took a wrong turn.
This isn’t the way home!”
Lin Mushu looked at Lin Haochen, puzzled.
Her intuition screamed that something was wrong.
“There are two cars following us.
Sis, hold on tight.”
The words had barely left his mouth when he slammed his foot on the gas.
The car’s speed shot up, but the two cars behind accelerated as well, staying in hot pursuit.
Their cover was blown.
And now that Lin Haochen had turned onto a relatively secluded road, they had no more reason to hide.
Lin Mushu looked back at the cars chasing them and asked in a panic, “What do they want?”
As she spoke, Lin Mushu took out her phone to call the police, but Lin Haochen stopped her.
“Calling the police is useless.
They can’t do anything to these people!”
After saying this, Lin Haochen slammed on the brakes, yanked the handbrake, and wrenched the steering wheel.
The car executed a perfect drift, stopping sideways and blocking the entire road.
“Why did you stop?!
If they catch us, we’re finished!
Go!”
Seeing the cars closing in, Lin Mushu urged Lin Haochen frantically.
But Lin Haochen’s lips merely curved into a slight smile.
He turned off the engine and opened the car door.
“Sis, when we were little, whether we were at home or out and about, you were always the one protecting me.
Now, it’s my turn to protect you.
You stay in the car and don’t move.
I’ll handle everything!”
