Chapter 1668 - 1681: The Tempting Maid

Chapter 1668: Chapter 1681: The Tempting Maid

Zhao Tianhao’s halo was completely overshadowed, Changlin was also completely forgotten in the corner, all cameras were aimed at Lin Mu. The reporters on the sidelines had red eyes, clicking shutters like their lives depended on it. A few crazed female fans even jumped off the stands, screaming as they rushed towards Lin Mu...

The game was forced to stop, in fact, it couldn’t continue anyway. Lin Mu hadn’t had a chance to exchange feelings with the hot-bodied girls when a large number of reporters emerged from some corner, dragged him away, and surrounded him with cameras and microphones.

"Sir, are you an active player? Can you tell us which team you currently play for?"

"Miraculous, no, absolutely divine skills, jumping dunk from the three-point line, such a difficult move has never been achieved internationally, can you tell us how you did it?"

A barrage of questions came at him, and even though Lin Mu had seen big storms in life, within a few short minutes, he was tormented to the point of having vacant eyes and feeling dizzy, until a bizarre female journalist asked what color underwear he was wearing, at which point he couldn’t take it anymore, squeezed out of the crowd in panic and fled.

"Phew, that was terrifying!"

After circling the campus twice, finally shaking off the crazed fans and red-eyed reporters, Lin Mu, drenched in cold sweat, finally made it back to the Bugatti. Just as he was about to open the car door, a figure suddenly popped out and jumped into his arms, "Uncle, you’re awesome, I’m madly in love with you!"

Smooch, kissed on the face, Lin Mu’s muscles tensed, his hair stood on end, until he realized it was Liu A Zhen hanging on him. He sighed with relief, pushed her away with a bitter smile, and said, "Where did you come from, almost scared me to death."

"We knew you’d come back sooner or later, so we waited here."

Zhu Xiaoli pulled Lei Xiaojiao along and walked out with a smile, "Anyway, Brother Lin, you’re famous now. Tsk tsk, dunking from the three-point line not only broke the record in basketball history but also refreshed human jumping limits. I bet by nightfall, reports will be everywhere. Such good news calls for a treat."

"Give it a break, Zhu Xiaoli, don’t joke around with me." Lin Mu looked around, quickly called everyone into the car, started the engine, and said with a face full of worry, "I’m worried to death now. If not for Xiao Jiao, who would want such attention!"

Lei Xiaojiao’s eyelid twitched, just as she was about to speak, Lin Mu’s phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, the deal done? A bit late, had to spend another 400,000? No problem, as long as Feifei’s stuff is all retrieved... Uh, I’ve got things to do now, can’t go back for the time being. You send the stuff to the clinic, be careful, don’t bump or drop it, that’s Feifei’s treasure..."

Muttering for two minutes, hung up the call, Lin Mu sighed, but suddenly felt something was off. He looked back and saw Lei Xiaojiao’s face covered in frost, while Zhu Xiaoli and Liu A Zhen were looking at him with helpless expressions.

What’s going on?

Wait, did I maybe possibly sort of say the wrong thing?

"Nonsense, of course you did."

Inside the Bugatti, Liu A Zhen covered her forehead with a hand, looking utterly disappointed, "Uncle, I’ve never seen someone as hilarious as you. Right in front of Lei Xiaojiao, you keep mentioning Feifei, so sweet and intimate tones, geez, are you just hoping people won’t realize you have a mistress on the side?"

"What mistress, nonsense, Feifei and I are purely friends."

Watching the disappearing figures of Lei Xiaojiao and Zhu Xiaoli at the street corner, Lin Mu hummed, feeling gloomy, "That girl is so petty."

"Damn, you’re fooling no one. Every time you mention her, your eyes light up with green glow. Claiming pure work relation? Who believes that!"

"Really?" Lin Mu scratched his head, lacking confidence.

"Humph, it’s more than just that. Your two big eyes at the street intersection could serve as green traffic lights! But anyway, who is Feifei? Is she beautiful? Is she well-shaped? Does she have longer legs and bigger breasts than Lei Xiaojiao?"

"Get lost..."

Finally managing to send Liu A Zhen, that chatterbox, home, Lin Mu’s face full of distress rivaled that of postpartum women.

If I’d known this would happen, I’d have called President Su instead of having Feifei on my lips. What’s the point of this mess? Damn habits, truly useless!

Lin Mu regretted deeply, unaware that the internet was already ablaze with news about him. The game had just ended not long ago when a post titled ’Huaxia’s strong man, killing Jordan in a second’ appeared on Tianya Forum. Along with it was a video clip, though the shooting technique was crude, it was clear. At only ten seconds long, it perfectly captured the moment Lin Mu jumped from the three-point line and slam-dunked the ball into the basket.

Fifteen minutes later, clicks exceeded ten thousand, and within an hour, it was shared across major forums and bulletin boards. The click count grew rapidly like a snowball, and then the debate broke out. Some people believed the video was edited, just skillfully done, hence no flaws could be found yet. Others believed it was real, indicating Huaxia produced a genius, promising a revival in the basketball world. The two camps held their ground, not yielding an inch, moving from technical analysis to biomechanics discussion, to cursing... By the time Lin Mu drove back to the villa, the two online camps had begun flinging verbal insults and exchanging greetings to each other’s female relatives.

"Liu Xin’Er, is the meal ready? I’m about to die of hunger."

Tossing the jersey onto the sofa, Lin Mu walked into the dining room. The dishes, bowls, and chopsticks were already set up on the table but the three women were nowhere to be seen. "How strange, where have they all gone?"

Lin Mu muttered, suddenly heard faint voices coming from upstairs. He went up to take a look, and found that the three women were all nestled in Sophie’s room, watching the computer and chattering about something.

"Hey, what are you all doing here?"

Lin Mu scratched his head, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the three women uniformly turn their heads, giving him a weird look from head to toe. Lin Mu felt creepy under their gaze, instinctively covering his chest, and as he was about to say something, Liu Xin’Er gasped, slid her slippers, and ran towards him.
