Chapter 1161: Chapter 1176: The Old Man’s Reminder

Lin Mu pouted, looking rather upset.

"Sis, I’m so bored!"

Man Luo shot a glance at Lin Mu, suddenly looking enlightened, "Oh, now I understand why you chose this place, you had an agenda."

"Hehe, just a coincidence, just a coincidence!" Lin Mu quickly argued when Man Luo caught on to his plan.

"Hmph, as if I don’t know your tricks! Stop blabbering, focus on the movie. If you dare get handsy again, don’t blame me for being rude," Man Luo threatened.

"Alright." Lin Mu had no choice but to nod helplessly.

So for the whole movie, Lin Mu behaved himself without making any moves. After the movie ended, Lin Mu and Man Luo left the cinema together, and Lin Mu’s phone rang.

He glanced at the phone, it was the old man calling. Usually, the old man wouldn’t call him unless there were new tasks to assign.

"Hey, old man, what’s up?" Lin Mu answered the call and asked.

"Where are you now?" Elder Lin asked.

"At the cinema, just finished a movie!" Lin Mu replied.

"You little punk, at a time like this, you skip practice to watch a movie? You’re asking for a beating, aren’t you?"

Lin Mu grinned, "Hehe, a balance of work and leisure, just relaxing a bit!"

"Enough nonsense, let me tell you something important," Elder Lin got serious.

"What is it?" Lin Mu asked.

"That Zhou Jiande is dead," Elder Lin responded.

"Dead? I didn’t kill him?" Lin Mu puzzled, muttering to himself, Seems like it was fate for this guy to die.

"I know it wasn’t you, it was the work of the Iron Blood folks," Elder Lin said in a low tone. Mentioning Iron Blood, there was a slight tinge of anger in his voice.

"That’s strange, Zhou Jiande was with Iron Blood, wasn’t he? I had let him go, why would Iron Blood kill him?" Lin Mu was also puzzled.

"It’s simple, killing to keep secrets. Zhou Jiande knew too much. You’ve killed so many people, and Zhou Jiande was the only live one. Iron Blood, being the sinister type, naturally wouldn’t spare Zhou Jiande!" Elder Lin explained.

Lin Mu pondered for a moment, nodding, "True, Iron Blood are indeed ruthless! By the way, how did you know Zhou Jiande was dead?"

"Don’t ask about that, I have my spies," Elder Lin said.

"Damn, old man, I’m your real grandson, aren’t I? You dare to keep things from me, won’t you need me to pay respects after you die?" Lin Mu threatened.

"Cut the crap, you’ll find out soon enough. Right now, Iron Blood won’t act against you, the next target is Jinye," Elder Lin added.

"Damn, how do you know this? You wouldn’t have come to Zhengzhou, would you?" Lin Mu asked. Geez, the old man’s too mysterious, isn’t he? There’s information Lin Mu in Zhengzhou didn’t know, yet the old man not in Zhengzhou knew.

But Lin Mu could guess a bit. The reason he told Gray Wolf not to act against Jinye for now was that Lin Mu had already anticipated Iron Blood Corps would eventually target Jinye. Let Iron Blood deal with Jinye first, then Wolf Fang would resolve the aftermath, making it much easier.

"I’m not in Zhengzhou, but I have my sources," Elder Lin said, then added, "The goal of Iron Blood Corps is to get the DNA-catalyzing enzyme, so you must stop them."

"Got it, old man, I’m confident about this. Let them and Iron Blood Corps tussle first, when they’re exhausted, I’ll handle Jinye. Given their strength, Iron Blood can’t easily take down Jinye. Jinye not only has the DNA-catalyzing enzyme but also help from Jushi Association. Firmly rooted in Zhengzhou, it won’t be easy to kill him unless I act personally, hehe!" Lin Mu proudly analyzed.

"Good, as long as you understand. However, I still need to remind you that Iron Blood Corps is going to act against Jinye; you must seize the timing so Iron Blood doesn’t get their hands on the DNA-catalyzing enzyme, otherwise, they’ll have the leverage against us!" Elder Lin reminded.

Lin Mu nodded, "Got it, old man, don’t worry."

"Alright, that’s it for now. I’ll call you again if there are new developments," Elder Lin said, about to hang up.

"Wait, old man!" Lin Mu stopped Elder Lin.

"You punk, what else?"

"Hey, old man, I have a hunch, see if I’m right? Did you send someone to infiltrate Zhengzhou?" Lin Mu grinned and asked.

"You’ll know in due time," Elder Lin said, hanging up the phone.

"Hello, old man... damn it!" Lin Mu was all frustrated, the old man liked to keep things mysterious, acting high and mighty. Whatever, he can keep acting, I don’t care! But according to what the old man said, it seems things are indeed going as Lin Mu expected, Iron Blood is going to act against Jinye. Lin Mu stroked his chin, pondering for a while. Now, he just had to wait and see how Iron Blood plans to deal with the big shot Jinye, and how Jinye would counter Iron Blood.

"What’s going on?" Man Luo asked Lin Mu, having heard the conversation but not understanding it.

"Zhou Jiande is dead, killed by Iron Blood to keep him quiet," Lin Mu said.

"Those people are really ruthless, like bandits. And they’re supposed to be a secret government organization!"

"Actually, good or bad is relative. Every place has good organizations, and every place has bad ones. With black comes white, that’s how society is. Iron Blood Corps used to be a good organization, but now their leaders have taken them down a wrong path. The world is chaotic, so many with ill intentions have emerged. Apart from the leaders, Iron Blood is still a competent organization," Lin Mu explained.

Man Luo nodded, "So what should we do next?"

"Wait it out. The old man said Iron Blood Corps is going to target Jinye to get the DNA-catalyzing enzyme," Lin Mu said.

"Jinye is deeply rooted in Zhengzhou, can Iron Blood really take them on?" Man Luo questioned.

"Heh, Iron Blood Corps isn’t as weak as you think. They might not take down Jinye right away, but they’ll definitely hold their ground. As for us, we can just enjoy the show." Lin Mu chuckled.

"Alright, let’s head back then." Man Luo nodded.

Lin Mu, hearing this, grinned. Finally, the girl wanted to go back to the hotel. As soon as Man Luo finished speaking, she noticed Lin Mu giving her a mischievous grin, which gave her a bad feeling, so she quickly added, "Even when we go back, you’ll behave and not do anything bad."

"Alright, no bad deeds. I’m not like those sleazy guys who have to get it on with a woman every day!" Lin Mu grinned.
