Chapter 352: Chapter 343: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
"Because this is our territory, who else has the capability?" Shen Yiyin shrugged.
Shen Gongbao shook his head, then his tone softened a bit, "Do you know who asked you to do this?"
"I don’t know, we were introduced through an intermediary. The other party didn’t say much, just paid for the job, and the payment was prompt. I didn’t investigate further!" Shen Yiyin shrugged again.
Shen Gongbao looked at Shen Yiyin, speechless for a moment. He was now full of regret, feeling he should never have handed over the family business to Shen Yiyin. At this rate, it would all be ruined in Shen Yiyin’s hands!
"You don’t know the cause of the matter yet take money to do things for people. What if they’re using you as a pawn? What if they’re looking to retaliate against you?" Shen Gongbao looked at Shen Yiyin and said.
Shen Yiyin waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, "Let them come if they want revenge. If I dared to do it, I’m not afraid of their revenge. Besides, do they even have the ability to get revenge?"
"You... sigh, you’ll suffer sooner or later!" Shen Gongbao sighed helplessly.
"Dad, don’t worry about it. Even if I suffer, I’m willing. It’s all my doing, no need for your concern!" Shen Yiyin waved his hand, then added, "Dad, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. I have things to handle!"
With that, Shen Yiyin left the mansion with Blood Kill.
Elder Shen watched Shen Yiyin’s departing figure and sighed; this child will surely squander the Shen family’s foundation before he ever finds peace!
In the evening, Lin Mu and Qi Manlin returned to the hotel room after dinner. Lin Mu had a fundamental understanding of the powers on Zhujiang Island. If things were really as understood, then this matter was likely orchestrated by Shen Yiyin and the others. Now with a target, they could investigate this lead!
If there were no surprises, Earth Wolf would arrive with Zhou Furong and Guo Meimei. Lin Mu hadn’t wanted Zhou Furong and Guo Meimei to come, as both had serious internal injuries. However, having them come to confirm things would be beneficial and ensure the opponent’s identity!
Early the next morning, just as Lin Mu and Qi Manlin finished washing up and were about to go downstairs for food, they opened the door to see several police officers approaching. Lin Mu furrowed his brow, feeling something was off; the visitors seemed hostile!
"Are you Lin Mu?" asked the leading police officer, glancing at Lin Mu.
"Yes, I am. What’s the matter?" Lin Mu nodded and asked.
"We are from the Zhujiang Island Police Department. We suspect you are involved in a murder case, so we ask you to cooperate and come to the police station for investigation," the officer said, showing his identification to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu glanced at it; the identification was indeed real, but when had he ever committed murder?
"Haha, gentlemen, you must be mistaken, right?" Lin Mu chuckled.
"Do you happen to know a cab driver nicknamed Meat Pie?" the police officer asked, looking at Lin Mu.
"I know him, so what?"
"Meat Pie was brutally murdered at home. According to our investigation, some drivers at the port reported that you had a conflict with Meat Pie. Thus, we must take you back for questioning. Please cooperate!" the officer reiterated.
"Haha, interesting!" Lin Mu found it amusing. Someone was definitely framing him, yet he admired the opponent’s tactic of involving the police!
Since they were the police, physical resistance was not an option. Doing so would play into their hands with charges of assaulting officers or trying to escape, making everything worse!
"Fine, I’ll take a trip with you!" Lin Mu said with a smile, curious to see what tricks the opponent had up their sleeve.
"Gentlemen, I can assure you, Lin Mu hasn’t killed anyone; I’ve been with him the whole time!" Qi Manlin anxiously stepped forward and said.
"I’m sorry, ma’am, we will consider what you said. Our current task is to take Lin Mu to the police station to assist with the investigation, not to convict him!" the officer said, glancing at Qi Manlin.
"It’s alright, Manlin, don’t worry. I’m fair and open, with nothing to fear. Earth Wolf, Guo Meimei, and Zhou Furong will be here before noon; stay here and wait for me. Call me as soon as they arrive!" Lin Mu instructed.
"Okay, be careful!" Qi Manlin nodded with a worried expression.
"Don’t worry!" Lin Mu said with a smile, then turned to the two officers and said, "Gentlemen, let’s go!"
The two officers nodded, then escorted Lin Mu downstairs.
After going downstairs, Lin Mu was put into a patrol car and driven directly to the police station!
Lin Mu was unconcerned; even if they had schemes against him, he could handle them with ease. It was just a small police station, child’s play, and more importantly, Lin Mu wanted to find out who was playing dirty tricks behind the scenes!
But just after Lin Mu left, something unexpected happened. As Lin Mu was brought into the police station, Qi Manlin’s impatience was of no use; she could only return to the room to wait for Earth Wolf and the others to arrive!
Qi Manlin also understood that someone was clearly targeting Lin Mu, which was why she hadn’t revealed her identity as a police officer. The collusion between police and criminals proved Lin Mu’s suspicion was correct!
As Qi Manlin closed the door and returned to the room, there was knocking at the door.
"Who is it?" Qi Manlin, unwary, called out as she went to open the door.
Opening the door, several buzz-cut men in black shirts stood at the entrance, looking sinister at first glance!
"Who are you?" Qi Manlin asked warily, her hand moving to her waist as she eyed the men.
"Haha, Ms. Qi, it’s like this: our boss greatly appreciates you, so he sent us to invite you!" the leading buzz-cut man laughed.
"Sorry, I don’t know your boss, please leave!" Qi Manlin said, reaching to close the door.
"Ms. Qi!" the man in front said, blocking the door with his hand.
"What do you think you’re doing?" Qi Manlin glared at the man and said. noveldrama
"Ms. Qi, please don’t make things difficult for us. We hope you’ll cooperate!" the man said.
"Cooperate, my foot! If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being rude!" Qi Manlin said, pulling out her gun from her waist.
"Haha, didn’t expect Ms. Qi to be packing heat," the man laughed, showing no sign of fear in his voice.
"Get lost quickly or don’t blame me for what’s coming!" Qi Manlin shouted again.
"Rude? Haha, I’d like to see what you mean by that!" the man’s face turned grim and cold, suddenly producing a handgun.
The men behind him simultaneously pulled out guns, aiming at Qi Manlin.
