Chapter 1648: Chapter 1661: Cripple Him Straight Away

Lin Mu was oblivious to the complex emotions the young man felt. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care. Grabbing the young man by the neck, Lin Mu lifted him into the air, formed his right hand into a fist, and aimed it at the still somewhat handsome face...

"So pitiful!" If she could move, the kind-hearted female CEO would surely cover her eyes, and maybe peek through her fingers from time to time. This scene was just too bloody and violent!

Within two minutes, the young man was beaten beyond recognition, his face distorted, only able to breathe out but not in.

"Trash! Can’t even be a decent sandbag, yet dares to mix in the underworld!"

With a casual toss, Lin Mu threw the body into a corner, licked his lips, still unsatisfied, and turned to Ding Li, "You’re good, didn’t seize the chance to escape!"

"Hmph! Your attention never left me. If I turned away, it would have been an opening!" Ding Li said as he adjusted his stance, an explosion of essence qi flashing in his eyes, "Besides, after three days, one should be seen in a new light. I’ve absorbed the essence qi of Ghost Face and Nanny Wang, my power increased more than tenfold! Do you think I’d still be afraid of you now?"

"Oh, blowing your horn with such flair! Power increased tenfold? You think you’re a superhero with your underwear worn on the outside?"

Lin Mu sneered, taking two steps forward.

But just at this moment, Ding Li suddenly shouted, shaking the heavens! His aura surged around him, disheveled hair fluttering wildly, bones cracked sharply, muscles bulging like a leopard ready to leap for a deadly strike!

"Whoa, is he really going for the kill?" Lin Mu’s eyes sharpened, quickly stepping sideways to shield Sophie. And as he moved, Ding Li dashed, his foot pounding the ground, body moving like lightning, leaving behind shadows as he zoomed out of the cabin.

"What the hell!"

Lin Mu was dumbfounded.

Such a cool pose, such a strong aura, but without even attacking, he ran! Wasting my feelings, wasn’t it?

With a change of expression, Lin Mu’s anger surged as he chased out, but just as he reached the deck, he heard a splash. He looked and saw Ding Li swimming away like a possessed Phelps, disappearing into the vast night within mere blinks.

"Damn!" Lin Mu grumbled, touching his nose, then turned back to the cabin.

"Feifei, sorry to put you through this."

He untied the ropes, tenderly picking grass from Sophie’s hair with a warm, soft expression, reminiscent of the white-horse prince rescuing the princess from a dragon’s clutches in fairy tales.

Typically, the narrative would have the beauty fall into a hug and offer a sweet kiss in the next moment.

But as Lin Mu smacked his lips, delighting in whether to opt for a gentleman-like brief peck or a deep, passionate French kiss, a small, snow-white hand swung down, delivering a solid slap.

"..." Lin Mu paused, then raised his eyebrows in anger, "Are you crazy? Why hit me!"

"Big liar, how dare you yell at me?" Sophie looked endlessly aggrieved, biting her lip, her nose twitching slightly as her big eyes quickly reddened. Lin Mu’s mouth twitched, heart softening, and was just about to comfort her when the beauty CEO couldn’t hold her emotion and fell into his arms, crying, "Who allowed you to deceive me, to pretend dead? Don’t you know it nearly killed me with sadness? Bad guy, awful rascal, always scaring people, I hate you..."

"Uh!" With a warm fragrance in his embrace, for once, he had no cheeky thoughts. A minute, two minutes... After finally letting the CEO vent her emotions until she calmed down, Lin Mu explained with a bitter smile, "Sorry, Feifei. The situation was specific, I was trying to use the opportunity to trace those behind Ding Li, that’s why I feigned death, wasn’t trying to lie to you..."

"Still, at least give a hint! Making people so worried."

Sophie wept sporadically, crying so much today her eyes were swollen. She worried if she could show herself tomorrow.

"Innocent, didn’t I secretly hint when we kissed?"

Lin Mu blinked, looking aggrieved, "Could it be the action was too subtle for you to notice?"

"You... What kiss? That was clearly CPR!"

"Is there a difference? Your saliva got into my mouth."

Lin Mu smacked his lips, seemingly recalling the delightful taste. This cheeky manner instantly reddened Sophie’s face, who came to her senses, angrily pinching his arm, twisting with force, "Awful rascal, getting bolder! Dare tease the boss casually, believe me, I’ll fire... Why are you coming so close?"

"Guess?"

"I won’t guess, go away, you smell terrible." Sophie held her breath, her aura gone, instinctively stepping back but was blocked by Lin Mu’s mischievous hold on her waist, "Feifei, do you know your current look is truly beautiful, very captivating..."

Eyes met, burning breath on her face, carrying a unique man’s scent, the beauty CEO hurriedly turned away, stammering, "I don’t know, let go quickly, I’ll get mad if you keep this up!"

It was more of a weak retreat than a threat. Lin Mu’s heart fluttered, knowing if he kissed now, the CEO likely wouldn’t resist.

However, just as Lin Mu excitedly thought of the awaited genuine moment, slowly lowering his head, a sudden loud alert blared from afar.

"We are Shencheng Customs... on ship Deep T25... inside personnel, drop your weapons, come up on deck. You’re surrounded. I repeat, drop your weapons, come up on deck..."

"Damn!" Lin Mu cursed his luck but had no choice but to forgo the awaiting kiss, grabbing Sophie’s hand as he strode out of the cabin. Stars scattered the sky, the bright moon hung overhead, sea breezes drifted, lifting Sophie’s long hair in a wild dance. If not for the spotlight beams ruining the mood, Lin Mu would’ve loved to hold the beauty CEO and whisper sweet nothings, after all, wooing a lady is like leveling up on QQ. Spend two hours daily, and one day you’ll level up to the sun!

"Can you swim?"

"I can, but... Heavens, you’re not thinking of jumping down, are you?"
