Chapter 1554: Chapter 1569: Fierce Tiger Unleashed

"Damn, you dare to steal Brother Lian’s girl? You must be tired of living, huh?"

With a series of punches and kicks, the gangster boss of Chang’an District had three ribs broken and faced a bloody reconstruction, his face swollen beyond recognition. The two little brothers who had just caught their breath wanted to show their loyalty and courage, but seeing this scene, they turned pale with fear, cold sweat streaming down their faces, promptly and decisively rolling their eyes and pretending to faint.

"Are you okay?"

With one kick, Lin Mu sent the unconscious Master Gang flying, then stepped forward to untie the ropes, about to softly comfort her, but a small hand slapped him in the face.

"Where the hell have you been?" Sophie blinked her bright eyes, tears slipping down uncontrollably. She threw herself into Lin Mu’s arms, hitting and punching, crying so uncontrollably, as if releasing all her inner fear and fright. "You jerk, leaving me alone there. Do you know I almost..."

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Feifei, be good, don’t cry anymore!"

Lin Mu held the beautiful CEO’s soft waist, his discontent instantly vanished, becoming a whirl of melancholy gentleness.

After much comforting, Sophie finally stopped crying. Perhaps feeling embarrassed by her display, she pushed Lin Mu away with a slightly flushed face, her almond-shaped eyes glaring angrily. "Don’t keep calling my name over and over, Feifei this and Feifei that. You know I’m your boss, you should have some respect!"

"Come on, I’m just trying to comfort you." Lin Mu looked aggrieved.

Just a moment ago, she was acting all sweet and delicate, and now she’s pulling rank, burning bridges so quickly?

"Enough, where did you go just now? You took forever to come back!" Sophie huffed, bringing up old issues again.

"I had an emergency, and there’s no toilet nearby, so I had to find a quiet spot."

"You sure you were just answering nature’s call and not up to something else?"

Lin Mu’s hair stood on end with some guilt, forcing a smile. "What could I possibly be doing in the middle of the night?"

The news of Ming Pearl getting smashed quickly spread throughout the Pearl River Delta, causing a huge commotion. Alone, barehanded, knocking down dozens of elite fighters in minutes, even the so-called single combat king, Master Gang, was beaten to a pulp... Who could be so formidable to reach such levels?

Rumor has it that a certain fierce figure from Wancheng’s gangster circle has returned? Fierce Tiger unleashed? Or Fierce Dragon crossing the river?

While the big shots sent out their people to scout for information, the instigator had already returned to the car, sweating profusely.

"Tell me, who was that girl?" Sophie crossed her arms, expressionless.

"Come on, I told you. It’s just a chance encounter, a minor misunderstanding, nothing else once explained."

Lin Mu forced himself to sound calm, inwardly lamenting.

Shortly after leaving Ming Pearl, Ling Xiaoqiao caught up with them. Sensing trouble, Lin Mu quickly took out his phone, and after some light explanation, things turned tragic.

An infuriated Ling Xiaoqiao’s eyes darted around, and within a split second, she transformed into a resentful maiden. Her sorrowful expression, complex and desperate gaze, and the gentle trembling of her frail figure in the night exuded boundless sorrow...

By the time Lin Mu sensed something was wrong, Ling Xiaoqiao had already floated away. As she departed, she cast one last glance at Sophie, a glance filled with subtle inferiority, envy, and slight resentment. Like a magical finishing touch, it portrayed the image of Chen Shimei in people’s minds.

Sure enough, Sophie didn’t believe Lin Mu’s explanation at all. "A chance encounter, and she looked at you like that?"

"Maybe I’m just too handsome?"

"Disgusting!" Sophie sneered, spitting lightly. "That girl is so beautiful, could she really find you appealing? You must have provoked her first, huh. Isn’t your notorious past well-known?"

Come on, notorious past—what an inappropriate term! If you don’t indulge when you’re young, what’s the point? Besides, those women were all willing, right? I didn’t force them; they came to the Lin Family Mansion on their own!

"Hey, boss lady, even if you’re high above, you can’t just wrongfully accuse people like that. If I touched even a finger of hers, may I be struck by lightning."

"Really?"

"Absolutely!" Lin Mu patted his chest, resolute.

Thinking cheekily: Sure, I touched Ling Xiaoqiao’s boobs and thighs, but those are far from the fingers, aren’t they?

"Did I really misunderstand?"

Seeing his firm assurance, Sophie furrowed her brows, about to speak, when her eyes caught sight of something.

Lin Mu was flattered, his gloom disappearing, thinking yesterday’s events might just pass. But who would have thought, upon reaching the company, the beautiful CEO would arrogantly raise her small pointed chin, slam the door shut, and not even let him into the office.

"What’s going on!"

Lin Mu was upset, summoned at will, dismissed just as easily, treating me like a Haba dog! With this in mind, a flood of resentment erupted, his face lengthening in discontent, he turned and walked out, not even acknowledging Song Yanan who was approaching.

"Feifei, where’s Lin Mu going?" Entering the office, Song Yanan curiously asked, "He seemed pretty upset when I saw him."

"I don’t know!" Then she slammed the door on her way out.

Upon hearing Lin Mu leaving, Sophie’s fingers paused, turning the pencil in her hand, saying irritably, "That guy’s mind is messed up, always acting crazy, just ignore him."

"Everything was fine in the morning, and now... sigh, are you two having a conflict?"
