My Most Beautiful Fiancée

After the whole ordeal, Mu Lin watched Bi Haitao and Lu Jing leave.

This also made He Zongshan, who was standing to the side, let out a long sigh of relief.

Mu Lin’s move had been truly ruthless, forcing Bi Haitao to take the case seriously.

Lu Jing would be locked up for at least a few years now.

That was vicious.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Mu Lin answered it. It was Jiang Long.

Jiang Long said, ”I have an update. The two Grandmasters from the Feng Family have arrived in Lanyang City, but there’s no sign of anything unusual here. Therefore, I judge your target is not in Lanyang City.”

”What do you think? This means we’ll need to consider more of the details.”

”Luo Wanqing is also still in Lanyang City. There’s no reason to believe she was taken to Di Yang.”

Mu Lin said, ”Thank you for your help, Team Leader Jiang. Without you, I’d be looking for a needle in a haystack.”

”Don’t mention it. If you hadn’t saved me, I’d have been a goner long ago.”

Mu Lin then asked, ”So, are there any Military Suppression Bureau members here in Lanyang?”

”Yes, yes, what do you need? There are two teams in total, Team Ten and Team Six.”

Mu Lin smiled faintly. ”Let’s go with Team Six. I have some bad blood with Team Ten...”

Jiang Long didn’t seem to mind. ”It’s a small matter. Just be careful. A man is bound to have some enemies. Someone without any enemies is a robot.”

Mu Lin chuckled. ”Right!”

”Here’s the number. Wait five minutes, then call it.”

Mu Lin did as he was told. After the call connected, a cold voice came from the receiver.

”Hello, I am the captain of Team Six, Yun Cheng.”

Mu Lin replied, ”My name is Mu Lin.”

Yun Cheng’s tone remained cold. ”Mr. Mu, send me your current location. I’ll head over immediately.”

Mu Lin did so. A short while later, a small team of people arrived in a hurry.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a calm and detached expression, as if nothing could move him.

He was the captain of Team Six, Yun Cheng.

Yun Cheng calmly extended a hand to Mu Lin. ”Mr. Mu, I’ve heard a lot about you. I hope we can work well together.”

”Indeed. Here’s to a good partnership!”

Yun Cheng stepped aside to introduce his teammates to Mu Lin.

”Captain, we have to give up on a Grandmaster-level fugitive for this guy? On what grounds?”

”These are the Team Leader’s orders. Are you going to disobey him?”

The man who had complained had no response and could only purse his lips and fall silent.

Yun Cheng forced a smile. ”I apologize, there was a hiccup on our end. He’s young and blamed you for it. I’ll be sure to teach him a lesson later.”

Mu Lin said, ”No matter. The fugitive might not commit another crime right away, but Luo Wanqing’s life is in imminent danger. Even a child could do that math.”

Hearing this, the members of Team Six were furious. ’Doesn’t Mu Lin respect our efforts at all?’

’We put in so much effort to catch this fugitive, and he dismisses it all with a single, casual sentence.’

’Is that right?’

Mu Lin saw their dissatisfaction but wasn’t fazed. He said calmly, ”No matter how much effort you’ve put in before, from now on, you will follow my orders. If you give it your all, we can definitely solve this problem!”

”Understand?”

The team members had been through countless situations and understood the importance of obeying a superior’s command:

”Understood.”

”Find her, quickly! Find Luo Wanqing, no matter the cost!”

Yun Cheng also found this hard to accept. He pressed his lips together, unhappily suppressing the anger in his heart.

”I understand. We will do everything in our power to find Luo Wanqing’s whereabouts!”

When the Team Six members heard their captain make this declaration, they didn’t say anything more. But internally, they cursed Mu Lin’s entire family tree.

’This guy is so unreasonable.’

”So, Mr. Mu, should we involve the Government? Should we call upon the Patrol Officers?”

Mu Lin said, ”I told you, all forces. Every force you can and can’t think of—mobilize them all for me. I need to find her as soon as possible.”

’So unreasonable! Why does the Team Leader value a madman like this so much?’

’It’s just completely illogical!’

But they were professionals. They had to execute orders without question, whether they were reasonable or not.

”Oh, right. Don’t act rashly. The enemy has two Grandmaster Powerhouses on their side. Many of you here are no match for them. Let your captain handle it.”

Everyone became guarded. The mention of two Grandmaster-level powerhouses underscored the severity of the situation.

’The captain’s decision to mobilize them wasn’t arbitrary after all; it was a perfectly reasonable judgment call.’

Yun Cheng, however, was filled with surprise. ’Why?’ he wondered. ’Just for Luo Wanqing? Is it really necessary to dispatch two Grandmaster-level experts for her? Isn’t that a bit of an over-the-top display?’

But he still quickly went to request backup and assign tasks.

Jiang Lan sidled up to Mu Lin and asked in a low voice, ”Are these all people from the Military Suppression Bureau? So many of them... where did you find them?”

Mu Lin said, ”A lucky coincidence. We met when I went to Songyang. We didn’t get along at first, but now we have a bit of a relationship.”

Jiang Lan’s eyes narrowed, her heart pounding with excitement.

’He must be a high-ranking official in the Military Suppression Bureau, right? This kind of influence is no simple matter!’

Jiang Lan asked, ”Are you a high-ranking official in the Military Suppression Bureau?”

Mu Lin glanced at Jiang Lan. ”Do I look like one?”

Jiang Lan studied him for a moment, then shook her head. ”The people from the Military Suppression Bureau are arrogant and look down on everyone. You’re different. You still have a human touch.”

Mu Lin burst out laughing upon hearing that. ”I like the sound of that!”

This, in turn, left Jiang Lan feeling even more lost. ’What now? Right now, Mu Lin is the only one we can rely on. Can he really pull this off?’

After a while, Yun Cheng returned from giving his orders and said, ”Mr. Mu, all forces have been mobilized. They are conducting a thorough search. Please wait a moment. I believe we’ll have news soon.”

”Thank you,” Mu Lin said. Yun Cheng gave a slight smile but said nothing else.

Jiang Lan felt quite displeased. ’He’s so cold,’ she thought. ’Not a trace of warmth.’

Mu Lin, however, didn’t care. The good thing about the Military Suppression Bureau’s arrogance was that they weren’t clingy. Once a job was done, they moved on to the next.

They were just agents getting a job done, which was fine. There was no fawning, so Mu Lin didn’t need to waste time entertaining them.

His relationship with them wasn’t important; his relationship with their Team Leader was what mattered.

Some time passed, and finally, there was news.

After speaking with someone on the phone for a moment, Yun Cheng’s expression became very strange.

It was a mix of hesitation and nervousness.

”Mr. Mu, things are a bit complicated. There’s something I need to say, but I’m not sure if I should,” Yun Cheng said to Mu Lin.

”Speak.”

”Perhaps you should give up on rescuing Miss Luo. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Why risk your life over something like this?”

Mu Lin’s eyes narrowed. He turned his head to look at Yun Cheng. ”Are you even human?”

”You are a friend of our Team Leader. Naturally, I have your best interests at heart. You don’t know what kind of enemy you’re about to face. If I were to let you go, it would be irresponsible of me.”

Mu Lin said, ”So you’re saying you’re afraid I can’t beat them?”

”That’s right!” Yun Cheng admitted his thoughts bluntly.

”Unless Team Leader Jiang himself takes action, no matter how many of us go, we’ll just be courting death.”

Mu Lin was a little surprised. Yun Cheng was already a captain, which meant he should be at the Peak of Grandmaster level.

For him not to dare face them meant the current situation was extremely difficult.

”Explain in detail. I can’t tell if you’re a coward or if you’re genuinely looking out for me.”

”Of course I’m genuinely looking out for you. Can’t you see that?”

”The person who took Luo Wanqing is the third young master of the Di Yang Feng Family, a man named Feng Gaoyu. Although he has no inheritance rights, he is doted on by the entire Feng Family and is considered a figure of real power. He is extremely close with a High Monk from the Celestial Dragon Temple; they are like sworn brothers.”

Jiang Lan’s mouth twitched, and she grew very tense. Mu Lin noticed her face had turned pale and found it strange.

”Miss Jiang, are you unwell?”

Jiang Lan shook her head. ”It’s not that. I’m just worried about you! The Celestial Dragon Temple is a mysterious place. They have a great number of experts, and legend says they once produced a Celestial Being.”

”Mr. Mu, if you act rashly, you might face an especially severe counterattack. We don’t know the full situation.”
