Chapter 1541: Chapter 1556: Yayuan Manor

Song Yanan took quite a while to come to her senses, stammering, "Impossible, there’s no access, the elevator can’t reach the ninety-ninth floor, how did that assassin get in?"

"As Snake Hero!"

Lin Mu smirked, took a cup of hot water, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Wisps of steam rose, leaving faint layers of white mist on the glass. A circular cut slowly revealed itself.

"A portable X-ray type plasma cutter from the United States, the cutting gap is very small. As long as you fix the glass when leaving, ordinary people won’t notice the damage." He took a sip and said with a sordid grin, "Skillful, well-equipped, and wearing high-end perfume—could it be some rich and handsome guy you toyed with, both body and emotion, who couldn’t help but come back for revenge?"

"Bah! With the time we have, can’t you be serious for a bit!"

Song Yanan stomped her foot in annoyance and snatched her cup back.

"I’m serious enough, okay?" Lin Mu’s face turned serious. "Did you wear white underwear today?"

"What do you want?" Song Yanan’s face was full of wariness as she covered her chest.

"Heh, judging by your expression, I bet it was nice."

Lin Mu, with a look of a mystic, said, "White is the color of misfortune, and with your White Tiger curse encountering celestial obstacles, wearing white underwear naturally brings this calamity. But don’t worry, I’ve studied metaphysics for years and have ways to avert disaster. Just hand me your underwear, and after a ritual, all evil will be eradicated, and everything will be fine!"

"Keep bragging, you brag so much without fearing the wind cutting your tongue."

Song Yanan dismissively tucked away the accidentally exposed white bra strap, sneering disdainfully.

Embarrassed by his vulgarity being seen through, Lin Mu wasn’t bothered, crossed his legs, and naturally changed the subject, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Notify the Public Security Bureau and have them send criminal investigation experts to check the scene. Maybe they’ll find some clues."

Song Yanan pondered and took a sip of water but suddenly remembered the cup had just been used by that guy. Instinctively, she spat but unexpectedly choked on the water, coughing awkwardly.

"Tch, I don’t have AIDS, is it that bad?"

"Shut up." Angrily, Song Yanan threw the cup into the trash, her chest heaving in fury.

"Petty." Lin Mu smirked, "Don’t notify the Public Security Bureau. This assassin isn’t an ordinary character; they’ll find nothing, and it will only alert the other party."

"Then what do you suggest?"

"One word, wait!" Lin Mu scratched his leg and stood up. "The assassin is a perfectionist, perhaps has OCD. Such a person won’t allow themselves to fail. If I’m right, upon knowing you’re still alive, they’ll soon strike again. We just need to be ready and wait for them to fall into our trap."

"Tch, you sound convincing. Do you know him?" Song Yanan doubted.

"You don’t understand. Normal assassins are ruthless and wouldn’t cut glass so perfectly round, nor arrange pine needles in a precisely spaced pattern; it’s too time-consuming and meaningless." Lin Mu shook his head and walked to the door, suddenly recalling something, he turned back and said, "By the way, do you have toilet paper? I need to take a dump."

Song Yanan was at a loss.

The emergency shareholders meeting lasted a full five hours. When Sophie walked out of the conference room, the outside was bathed in the sunset, clouds filled the sky. After a brief preparation, two Audis and a Bentley set off from Su’s Great Enterprise towards Yayuan Manor. Sophie closed her eyes as soon as she got in the car; her mood seemed quite downcast, with furrowed brows that never relaxed for a moment. Song Yanan read documents beside her, her expression gradually becoming grim as time passed.

The car was silent, Lin Mu sat upright, his expression stern, but his eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses leered at Sophie’s figure.

Yayuan Manor was built by Su’s Great Enterprise four years ago, imitating the estate structures of Suzhou and Hangzhou. It occupied about one hundred acres in Wancheng Chang’an District. The four-story villa stood in the center, surrounded by rock gardens, flowing streams, and even a peach blossom forest, exuding elegance. Security was handled by fifty veterans and the newly joined security department experts, although they weren’t allowed inside the villa.

"What a wealthy place! Without ten billion, it’s probably impossible to manage this, right?"

As they entered the villa, lights automatically illuminated. A cool breeze from the central air conditioning gently blew down, Lin Mu smacked his lips in awe. The villa was equipped with an intelligent system.

"It’s not that much." Sophie’s mood seemed much better, she explained with a gentle smile, "Grandpa bought this land many years ago, so the price was cheap. The villa and surrounding facilities were completed by our subsidiary construction team, with a total cost only around two billion."

"Only two billion?"

Lin Mu was speechless, shook his head forcefully, "Such a big villa, only the two of you living here, isn’t it lonely?"

"You get used to it. And it’s not just me, Xiao Wan, and Nanny Wang here; Sister Nan lives here too!"

After finishing her sentence, Sophie added, "By the way, maybe you don’t know Sister Nan well; she’s actually my distant cousin, a PhD who studied abroad in the United States and returned two years ago..."

Before Sophie could finish, an elderly voice suddenly sounded from behind,

"Miss, you’re back."

Lin Mu was startled, quickly turned around, and saw an old lady, about five foot tall, with a wrinkled face, gray clothes, appearing in front of them without a sound.

Holy crap, this old lady walks silently?

Lin Mu jumped in shock, this old lady looked so eerie, it’s a shame she wasn’t in horror films.

Nanny Wang rolled her eyes and ignored Lin Mu, "Miss, dinner is ready, should I serve it now?"

"Mm, please serve it."
