Chapter 1189: Chapter 1204: Betrayal Among Thieves

"Got it, I’ll intercept them!" Lin Mu responded.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu waved his hand, "Let’s go, Iron Hand has already obtained the DNA-catalyzing enzyme, and is probably going to rush back to Beijing overnight. We’ll chase Iron Hand."

Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf nodded, both getting into the car. Lin Mu called out to Man Luo, and the two also got into the vehicle. Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf had suffered knife wounds, so this time Lin Mu was driving. He got into the driver’s seat and started the car, heading toward the highway entrance.

The fastest way back to Beijing is via the highway, so if we arrive in advance and wait there, we can definitely intercept Iron Hand and his team. Lin Mu wasn’t worried that they’d hit the highway early, as they wouldn’t be moving so urgently right now.

Lin Mu drove quickly, reaching the road near the highway entrance in just ten minutes. At this time, there were hardly any cars passing through the area.

"Gray Wolf, have you prepared what I asked for?" Lin Mu asked after stopping the car.

"Everything’s ready, in the trunk," Gray Wolf nodded.

"Alright, get ready. It shouldn’t be long before Iron Hand and his crew pass through," Lin Mu instructed.

Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf opened the car doors and got out.

They took out a bag of road spikes from the trunk and spread them in the middle of the road. Regardless of what kind of car it is, as long as it has tires, it won’t get away. Once set, Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf returned to the car.

More than ten minutes passed when a speeding car approached. Lin Mu used his highly keen Seventh Sense to sense it. His eyes suddenly shone with a sharp gleam that, in an instant, accurately scanned the car hundreds of meters away. Since training the Diamond Sutra to the Eighth Layer, Lin Mu’s superpower had considerably advanced. Previously, he could only sense people closely related or of concern to him; now, Lin Mu could sense his enemies with his Seventh Sense. The gleam from his eyes quickly provided useful information: the people in the car were his enemies, possessed a strong murderous intent, and, by various factors, were judged to be members of the Iron Blood Corps.

Lin Mu sneered, "They’re here."

A total of two cars drove over, moving at a moderate speed of about fifty miles per hour, getting closer and closer, without noticing the line of spikes on the road ahead—these pyramid-shaped spikes were notorious road killers, the nemesis of any vehicle.

Iron Hand’s car drove right over the spikes without any precautions, and the next second, there was a loud bang—a series of tire bursts—as both cars ran over the spikes, instantly losing directional control.

Fortunately, there were no other cars on this road, so after stopping at the roadside and hitting the curb, the cars came to a halt. Several Iron Blood Members quickly opened their car doors and got out.

Iron Hand and his team glanced at the car’s tires, cursed aloud, and then turned their attention to the car where Lin Mu was, across the road.

On this road without many vehicles, Lin Mu’s car was conspicuous. In such a situation, even a fool would sense something was wrong.

"Let’s go, get out and see them," Lin Mu smiled, then opened the car door and got out. Gray Wolf, Golden Wolf, and Man Luo followed him out.

Iron Hand recognized Lin Mu. Seeing his figure, he couldn’t help but frown, clearly surprised that Lin Mu showed up here.

"Everyone, stay alert," Iron Hand quietly reminded his team. He knew Lin Mu’s strength was far superior to the Iron Blood members.

Lin Mu walked over cheerfully, "Haha, isn’t this Iron Hand Boss? What brings you here?"

Not wanting to be rude to someone showing a smiling face, and knowing he wasn’t Lin Mu’s match, Iron Hand could only smile back, replying, "Haha, just a small task. We were on our way back to Beijing after completing it."

"Oh, so Iron Hand is on a mission. What a pity, it seems you won’t be going anywhere now!" Lin Mu said with a chuckle.

"Indeed, Brother Lin, what’s this all about?" Iron Hand asked knowingly.

"Oh, Iron Hand, I won’t hide it from you. I’ve received orders from the Divine Wind Special Forces’ commander. Someone took a few bottles of a DNA-catalyzing enzyme from the Imperial Capital International Club, and I’ve been ordered to check it out. If someone has these, they need to hand them over to me!" Lin Mu laughed.

"Haha, so that’s the case," Iron Hand nodded.

"Iron Hand, you didn’t take that stuff, did you?" Lin Mu asked knowingly.

Iron Hand knew Lin Mu was aware he took the DNA-catalyzing enzyme; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been waiting here for him, evidently having received inside information.

Since it was clear, Iron Hand had no need to hide. He nodded, "Yes, you’re right. I was ordered by the Iron Blood Boss to take the DNA-catalyzing enzyme back."

"Haha, Iron Hand, I must apologize. I’m also following orders; my boss is very interested in this stuff, so I’m asking you to hand it over. Let’s not ruin our rapport!"

Upon hearing this, Iron Hand’s expression changed, "Brother Lin, wasn’t it already sent to the Academy of Sciences?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Oh, that was just a few drops, too little," Lin Mu waved his hand.

"Haha, Brother Lin, well, I’m sorry then. I’m tasked to do this job, so I can’t give it to you," Iron Hand refused.

Of course, Lin Mu didn’t expect Iron Hand to hand it over easily; he was just looking for an excuse to stir things up. After all, the Iron Blood Corps was quite renowned, and it wouldn’t make sense without a reason.

"That’s not acceptable; I’ve been eyeing that stuff for a long time, so I need it in my hands!" Lin Mu stated.

"What? If I don’t give it, are you going to take it by force?" Iron Hand sneered, his tone changed.

"Haha, Iron Hand, this stuff was snatched by you, after all. If I take it back from you, it wouldn’t be problematic, right?" Lin Mu smiled back.

"You..." Iron Hand was evidently choked by Lin Mu’s words. He did snatch it from someone else, but it also cost his brother’s life; Iron Hand wouldn’t hand it to Lin Mu.

"What’s wrong? Am I incorrect?" Lin Mu smiled, then said, "If possible, just hand it over to me. You can report back saying it was taken by me, Lin Mu."
