THUD!

Manager Sun and Manager Wen were so frightened they fell to the ground, their faces ashen as they stared at Lin Mu as if he were a demon.

This young chairman of Boheng Pharma was terrifying. Had he actually struck Ji Guohua dead with a thunderbolt from the sky?

Moreover, he had thrown Ji Guohua out the window with just one hand.

No one knew if the thunderbolt that descended from the sky was a coincidence or if Ji Guohua's oath had actually come true. But regardless, they truly did not dare to provoke this young chairman.

Apart from them, several other company bosses were also so scared they couldn't speak, their faces filled with fear and regret. One man was so frightened that he clutched his chest, suffering a fatal heart attack. He collapsed, stiff as a board, and died.

It was simply too terrifying!

Lin Mu waved his hand. "Take them out. You don't need me to tell you what to do, do you?"

Hearing the hint of coldness in Lin Mu's tone, Cheng Bugui and his men couldn't help but shiver. The Venerable Master is going to thoroughly cleanse River City.

But no matter what, they dared not disobey the Venerable Master's command. They grabbed the men and dragged them straight out.

Soon, several screams echoed from outside, and then there was silence.

After dealing with those people, Lin Mu turned his expressionless gaze toward Manager Sun and Manager Wen.

"Please don't kill me, don't kill me..." Manager Wen was so scared that she kept screaming, her face filled with intense fear.

If a moment ago she had considered using her beauty to get Lin Mu to sign the contract, now all she wanted was to escape this place and run as far away as possible.

Manager Sun was the same, trembling like a leaf.

"Take care of the company's affairs. I don't want any accidents."

After saying this, Lin Mu left the company without giving Manager Sun or Manager Wen another glance.

Only after Lin Mu had left did everyone seem to recover, letting out a collective, huge sigh of relief.

"What about these two?" Suddenly, everyone realized that Manager Sun and Manager Wen were still sitting on the ground, deathly pale.

Su Ke'er said, "Let them go. It's best if they never return to River City for the rest of their lives."

Having said that, Su Ke'er quickly chased after him.

「...」

"President Lin... President Lin, wait up."

Su Ke'er caught up with Lin Mu, her lovely face a little pale. The scene just now had clearly frightened her too.

Lin Mu stopped and asked, "Is there something else?"

For some reason, seeing Lin Mu's indifferent expression made Su Ke'er's heart sink.

But she still forced a faint smile and said, "It's nothing... It's just, this happened at the company, so I'm responsible. You..."

Lin Mu shook his head. "I don't blame you, and you haven't done anything wrong. I just need to go to Jiangbei right now."

"Jiangbei?" Su Ke'er seemed to recall something, her eyes widening. "Manager Liu?"

"Mhm."

Lin Mu currently couldn't contact Liu Zijian, which obviously meant there was trouble. Hearing what Manager Wen had said earlier only confirmed that something must have happened on Liu Zijian's end.

"Then I'll go with you!" Su Ke'er said. "I was in charge of the Jiangbei branch with Manager Liu, so I'm fairly familiar with the situation there."

"Okay." Lin Mu thought for a moment and agreed. He had never been to Jiangbei and knew nothing about it, so having Su Ke'er with him would naturally save a lot of trouble.

Su Ke'er asked, "When do we leave?"

"Get ready," Lin Mu replied after a moment of thought. "I'll call you before we leave."

「...」

"Godfather, where are we going?"

In the car, a little boy curiously surveyed the scenery outside the window before turning to ask the young man beside him.

The boy was only four or five years old, adorable as if carved from jade. His slightly chubby baby face, in particular, made one itch to pinch it.

But Su Ke'er didn't dare. When she first saw Lin Mu leading the little boy, Liu Xiaolin, over to the car, she had wanted to pinch his cheek out of fondness. Just then, however, she could have sworn she saw a flash of sword light shoot toward her from his deep, dark eyes. If Lin Mu hadn't grabbed her, Su Ke'er felt she would already be dead.

So, although she liked Liu Xiaolin, she didn't dare to get close to him at all. Throughout the trip, she just drove silently, not daring to speak a word.

Hearing Liu Xiaolin's question, Lin Mu stroked his head and said, "Godfather is taking you to find your dad."

"Really?" Liu Xiaolin's eyes suddenly sparkled with surprise. "I haven't seen Dad in so long! Grandma said he went to work, but I don't believe her at all. Before, no matter how busy he was, he'd video call me every single night."

Liu Xiaolin counted on his little fingers. "But Dad hasn't video called me in four days, and his phone won't even connect."

Lin Mu said, "So we'll just go ourselves and give him a surprise."

"Okay!" Liu Xiaolin leaned close to Lin Mu's ear and whispered mysteriously, "Godfather, let me tell you a secret. I've prepared a gift for Dad."

"Really? What's this mysterious gift?" Lin Mu's mouth curled up as he feigned curiosity.

"Hmph, I'm not telling you." Liu Xiaolin swung his little feet, looking very happy.

Su Ke'er, who had been straining to eavesdrop from the front seat, looked disappointed and pursed her lips. What a pair of children!

"Godfather, who is this foolish woman?" Liu Xiaolin suddenly crossed his arms and asked with the cold tone of an adult.

SCREECH!

The car jerked violently as Su Ke'er slammed on the brakes. Lurching forward, she spun around and snapped, "You little brat, who are you calling foolish?"

"Hmph, if the shoe fits," Liu Xiaolin replied coolly, turning his head away to ignore her.

Su Ke'er was on the verge of losing her mind. This little terror... where did he learn to be like this? She glared fiercely at Lin Mu, her eyes screaming, He learned it from you!

Lin Mu shrugged innocently. "You can't blame me."

Su Ke'er huffed and ignored them, her expression sour as she focused on driving.

"Hey, kid, take it easy. You're making her angry," Lin Mu nudged Liu Xiaolin.

Without turning his head, Liu Xiaolin said, "See? This is why women are so much trouble." He suddenly sighed, his expression turning surprisingly melancholy. "Godfather, let me tell you, you should never marry a woman who's both foolish and petty like her. It's exhausting."

This time, it wasn't just Su Ke'er who was stunned; even Lin Mu was left speechless. Where in the world did this kid learn to say such things?
