Chapter 1573 - 1588: The Master Among Masters

Chapter 1573: Chapter 1588: The Master Among Masters

There’s no denying that when women get serious, their imagination and insight can be truly terrifying!

Even after stepping into the CEO’s office on the ninety-ninth floor, Lin Mu still felt a chill down his spine, breaking out in a cold sweat. Too scary. As for that beautiful CEO who chose to erupt in silence, at that moment she was like a roaring lionness! Arrogant and domineering, her imposing might was on full display, almost comparable to an unruly woman causing a scene on the street. With Lin Mu’s incredibly high defense rating, he was metaphorically ’bombarded’ down to blood-skin layers in seconds and couldn’t dare to say another word, scrambling away in a panic.

"Damn, is having your period that amazing? Just wait, one day I’ll deal with you."

While Lin Mu was lost in his fantasies, blissfully weaving an R-rated plot with Sophie as the female lead, a cold snort suddenly came from the front, "Lin Mu, is it? Even daring to fool the police, you’ve got some guts! Come on, come with me back to the station for a talk?"

Lei Xiaojiao decided to preemptively strike, and in fact, this was her usual tactic when facing criminals.

Damn, when you’re down on luck, nothing goes right! Even a sip of water could get stuck in your teeth and choke you!

But Lin Mu decided not to play along at all, only to see him blankly raise his head, with a hint of fear and some confusion on his face, he said, "Officer, you, you must be mistaking me for someone else?"

"Hmph, stop acting, I could recognize you even if you turned into ashes."

Lei Xiaojiao sneered and gave a side glance, prompting a hesitant criminal police officer to bring out the handcuffs and step towards Lin Mu.

"Hey, what are you doing? Arresting someone without evidence, be careful, I’ll sue you!"

Lin Mu was displeased, thinking, "You really take me for a sick cat because the tiger hasn’t shown its might, huh!" With a flick of his wrist, he easily broke free from the young officer’s grip, his strong force even causing the officer to stagger.

"You’re attacking a police officer?" The young officer raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit embarrassed.

After all, Lei Xiaojiao was a rose in the bureau, from top to bottom, who wouldn’t have some feelings for her? The young officer was one of her many admirers. Originally, he planned to impress her but ended up making a fool of himself publicly.

He put on a serious face, raised the handcuffs, and aimed them at Lin Mu’s face.

Police officers often deal with desperadoes, so naturally, they use heavy hands. As the alloy handcuffs whistled through the air, just as a secretary was about to leave, she was so frightened that her face went pale. If Lin Mu got hit, even his tough appearance might end up bruised and swollen.

However, her concerns were obviously unnecessary.

In that lightning-fast moment, with a "bang," no one saw what really happened, but the young officer stumbled back seven or eight steps, sitting directly back into a chair. His face turned as white as snow, trembling lips unable to utter a word.

"Hmph, big accusations, but too bad, your skills are pathetic." Lin Mu grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

The moment those words fell, the rattan chair the young officer sat in completely collapsed, illustrating how impressive the guy really was!

"Inner Family Skills?"

Lei Xiaojiao and another officer exclaimed simultaneously. Yet their reactions differed; Lei Xiaojiao’s face showed both astonishment and joy, whereas the middle-aged officer was purely shocked. The police force in Wancheng had over a thousand personnel, the best of them being in the special police and criminal police units. Even the top police officer in those teams merely reached the peak of Ming Jin.

But this seemingly unimposing bodyguard in front of them had mastered Inner Family Skills to a legendary peak level, such that he was a master among masters, displaying such artful skills... The middle-aged officer, having seen much, was nonetheless swept up in a storm of shock upon witnessing Lin Mu’s actions. Generally, most people who practice martial arts only achieve strong external force, and few truly delve into Inner Family Skills. Lin Mu clearly belonged to the latter, leaving the young officer utterly incommensurable with him, as if separated by an insurmountable chasm, completely defying conventional theoretical equations.

"Still resisting arrest, kid, you’re done for."

Lei Xiaojiao cheered, but her words left the middle-aged officer drenched in cold sweat.

Miss, could you please consider the situation before engaging in a battle of words? That’s an Inner Family expert, and if he loses his temper, even bringing in the entire criminal police unit might not prevent them from getting crushed with just one hand! ℯℯ𝑙.

Realizing this, the middle-aged officer suddenly felt a twinge of regret. Had he known, he would’ve brought a gun. Although at this close range, it’s not guaranteed to hit, at least it would offer some psychological reassurance, right?

"Oh please, what do you mean resisting arrest? Do you have an arrest warrant? Without an arrest warrant, this is called violent law enforcement, and for me, it’s self-defense. Even if we take this lawsuit to Wancheng, I’m not afraid of you guys."

Lin Mu rolled his eyes, pointing at a camera in the corner, he said, "By the way, there’s surveillance here, don’t think you can throw baseless accusations at me."

"Hmph! Who said this was a formal arrest?"

Lei Xiaojiao’s voice weakened, she still argued, "We just suspect you might be involved with a drug case, so we’re asking you to come back to help with the investigation. Do you understand the duty of assisting in an investigation? It’s every citizen’s obligation. You’re not cooperating and even injured an officer. Now we have the right to detain you for public disturbance..."

"Stop with the nonsense. Handcuffing someone for an investigation, do you take me for a legal ignoramus? Believe it or not, I can hire a team of lawyers to file a complaint against you with the provincial public security bureau?" Lin Mu sneered dismissively.

"You..." Lei Xiaojiao’s face turned pale with anger. It’s not scary if a rogue has no knowledge; what’s frightening is a rogue with knowledge!

Violent law enforcement and trampling on human rights! If the other party really grasps these two points and files a complaint at the provincial level, it would indeed be troublesome. Although it wouldn’t affect her much, her two police colleagues could face disciplinary action, or even temporary suspension.

"What’s with the ’you’? Hurry up and leave if there’s nothing else, every minute you’re wasting costs me hundreds of thousands. Can you afford to compensate me?"

Seeing Lei Xiaojiao speechless, Lin Mu smugly curled his lips and turned to leave. His shameless bragging made even the secretary unable to bear watching. Earning hundreds of thousands in minutes, even the CEO isn’t at that level! You’re a small bodyguard, really thinking you’re Huaxia’s Bill Gates!

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Lei Xiaojiao’s phone suddenly rang.

When she hung up, her gaze at Lin Mu was like a cat driving a mouse into a corner, full of playful mischief.

Seeing her expression, Lin Mu couldn’t help but touch his nose, feigning fear and said, "Chief Lei, you don’t have improper intentions towards me, do you? Alas, I always knew being handsome was a curse, but I can’t be blamed for that!"
