My Most Beautiful Fiancée

Long Qingshan couldn’t be bothered with such trivial matters. His focus was on something much bigger.

He lunged forward and grabbed the old man’s skull. ”Who’s the mastermind behind you? Tell me, and I’ll give you a quick death!”

The old man’s qi was already rapidly dissipating.

Even if he wasn’t killed, he didn’t have much time left.

Suddenly, Long Qingshan sensed an extremely sharp killing intent from behind. He instinctively ducked, slapping his palm on the old man and directly dispersing the last of his breath.

And just like that, the Grandmaster named Li was dead.

BAM!

Long Qingshan turned his head to see a thumb-thick arrow embedded in the wall, with less than a knuckle’s length left protruding.

The iron arrow was inscribed with numerous runes, all designed to break through Gang Qi.

Honestly, if that iron arrow had hit Long Qingshan, it was debatable whether he would have survived.

Long Qingshan got up and called Mu Lin. ”Mu Lin, it’s handled. I got them out!”

After receiving the call, Mu Lin said, ”Miss Tao, your parents are safe.”

Tao Xinxin was in disbelief. ”How can that be? You didn’t even go. How were they rescued?”

Mu Lin tilted his head. ”It’s not like I’m the only powerful person out there. There are plenty of others! I sent a friend to help.”

Tao Xinxin had a sudden realization. ”Oh, I see!”

Tao Xinxin took the phone and joyfully contacted her parents.

Hearing this, Sun Teng, who was standing to the side, started to tremble. ”How is that possible? Grandmaster Li can’t lose! You must be lying!”

Mu Lin smiled faintly. ”This is why I say you’re clueless. What’s so great about one Martial Arts Grandmaster? I have countless ways to kill him, and so do my friends.”

A chill ran down Sun Teng’s spine. Grandmaster Li could break steel plates and shatter diamonds.

In Sun Teng’s mind, a person like that was already a top-tier expert.

For years, whenever he ran into trouble, he would go to Young Master Han, and Young Master Han would always send Grandmaster Li to handle the situation.

It was always so easy, resolving things effortlessly.

’Grandmaster Li actually lost? What am I going to do?’

”You... you should let me go now, right? After all, Miss Tao’s parents are safe. What happens next has nothing to do with me!”

”I won’t seek revenge after I leave. Let’s just turn the page and never bring this up again, how about it?”

Mu Lin grinned, his smile especially innocent. ”You’re so naive. You actually think that’s a possibility. I can’t just ignore the murders you’ve committed. If I let you go, the vengeful spirits of your victims will come looking for me.”

Sun Teng said, ”You dare kill me? Young Master Han will settle the score with you!”

Mu Lin lifted his leg and kicked Sun Teng square in the stomach. Sun Teng cried out in pain and immediately curled up like a shrimp.

”Confess to everything you’ve done. Oh, and don’t forget about your two lackeys on the side. I have my ways of knowing if you’re telling the truth.”

Sun Teng asked, ”If I talk, will you let me go?”

Mu Lin replied, ”You think you’re in a position to negotiate with me? You’ve got some nerve!”

Sun Teng’s face was pale. He knew he was in a desperate situation, so he quickly confessed to everything he had done.

His crimes were so heinous that being executed hundreds of times wouldn’t be enough.

Tao Xinxin and Xue Xi felt a chill run through them as they listened, and could only hold hands for comfort.

”Is that all?”

Sun Teng said, ”That’s all!”

Mu Lin waved a hand behind his head, and Sun Teng’s vision went black. He stopped moving.

”Hey, Uncle Zhou, could you please send an officer over? I seem to have caught a few murderers.”

Zhou Qianfan grumbled to himself.

’What’s he up to now?’

”Shouldn’t you be calling the Military Suppression Bureau?”

”These three are ordinary people, but they have murders on their hands.”

”Oh, I’ll send someone over then.”

A short while later, a police captain arrived with his subordinates.

When he introduced himself to Mu Lin, he went on for quite a while. Mu Lin didn’t remember a single word of it, except for the surname ”Zhou”.

This meant Zhou Qianfan had decided to keep the glory in the family, not letting it go to outsiders.

Mu Lin said, ”They have a certain... medical condition. It could act up at any moment, so be careful!”

Captain Zhou was a bit taken aback. ”Mr. Mu, how did you know?”

Mu Lin smiled. ”Just a diagnosis I made. If you don’t believe me, you can have another doctor re-examine them.”

To be honest, Captain Zhou was very experienced. This wasn’t the first time Sun Teng had been arrested, and he’d never heard anything about him having a medical condition.

’Three sickly weaklings pulling off a major case? Is that even possible?’

Captain Zhou nodded. He didn’t really care about all that; he cared even less about Sun Teng’s supposed illness. As long as he could arrest them, it was a merit earned.

Captain Zhou gave Mu Lin a nod of acknowledgment, handed him a business card, and then left in a hurry.

Tao Xinxin watched Captain Zhou’s departing figure, then looked at Mu Lin in utter astonishment. ”Xue Xi, your friend is amazing! He said he’d call the police, and they actually showed up just like that.”

Xue Xi tilted her head. ”I didn’t know he was this incredible either.”

Tao Xinxin crouched on the ground, disheartened. ”Even so, I’m afraid he still can’t win. The power behind Sun Teng is immense, just unbeatable. That leader of theirs is practically a god or something...”

Xue Xi said, ”Maybe they’re just exaggerating? Besides, it’s not like Mu Lin has nothing.”

’With the Liu Family on his side, Mu Lin can definitely turn this situation around.’

Xue Xi only knew about his connection to the Liu Family. If she knew about his other connections, her confidence in Mu Lin would be through the roof.

Mu Lin said, ”Looks like we can’t finish our meal. No choice but to get the check. I’ll go.”

Tao Xinxin quickly said, ”No, let me! Please, let me show my gratitude!”

Mu Lin sighed. ”Alright, then. Miss Tao, you can get it.”

Mu Lin had Xue Xi take Tao Xinxin home, while he himself took a taxi back to the company.

In the transport vehicle, Captain Zhou was lost in thought.

Suddenly, Sun Teng and the other two woke up.

Captain Zhou glanced at Sun Teng without a flicker of emotion.

”You’re awake?”

Sun Teng saw Captain Zhou and looked at him frankly, laughing out loud. ”Captain Zhou, don’t worry, I’ll be out of here in a little while anyway! No need to be so formal.”

Captain Zhou’s expression turned ugly. ”What nonsense are you talking about?”

Sun Teng laughed heartily. ”It’s not nonsense. There are just things at play in this world that you wouldn’t understand, Captain Zhou. It’s better for you not to think about it.”

A moment later, the phone on Captain Zhou’s hip rang.

Sun Teng cackled, ”Here it comes, here it comes! See? What did I tell you?”

Sun Teng was so excited he was practically dancing, but within moments, his brain lost control of his limbs.

His entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Scared to death, Captain Zhou had no choice but to quickly head for the hospital.

At that moment, the two lackeys also woke up, but they just had idiotic grins on their faces, looking completely stupid.

A chill went down Captain Zhou’s spine. He remembered what Mu Lin had told him and was suddenly completely in awe of him.

When Mu Lin arrived at the company, Xue Yang was waiting for him at the office door.

”Manager Xue, is something wrong?” Mu Lin asked.

”You know, Director Cheng is targeting you! He’s come to the office looking for you many times. But you were never here, so during the routine meeting, he started spouting nonsense to the mid-level managers, saying you’re a nobody.”

Mu Lin said, ”Manager Xue, why are you so angry? I really am a nobody!”

Xue Yang glanced at Mu Lin. ”If you keep up that attitude, you really might get taken out.”

”Do you know what that guy has done? He’s so determined to dismantle the special group that he even dares to go up against President Li. You think he’s afraid of you?”

”Remember that bet we made? As long as the special group produces results, it can be saved.”

”Besides, I’ve already found a suitable project. In terms of performance, the profits will be very generous. We’ll be fine.”

”Really?” Xue Yang was still grabbing onto Mu Lin tightly, not believing that Mu Lin could find a good project on his own.

”When you deal with Director Cheng, just stall for a bit. Don’t disrupt the project department’s operations.”

”Alright,” Xue Yang said, finally looking calm as he nodded.

’I don’t feel like I’m the one steering the company’s direction anymore,’ he thought. ’I guess I can only study the situation more.’

’If he can really pull it off, that would be for the best.’
