Chapter 1239: Chapter 1254: Car Bomb
Once he got in the car, Lin Mu communicated with the driver in Eastern language. Since Lin Mu had executed several international missions with the North African Wolf Fang Mercenaries, he could use some simple Eastern to communicate, so the driver understood Lin Mu’s awkward Eastern, and they headed towards the Hiroshima City Express Hotel.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Mu stretched a bit, as flying indeed made one easily feel fatigued. Just then, Lin Mu’s phone rang—it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello!" Lin Mu coldly answered, feeling a hint of hostility from this call.
"Heh, not bad, kid, you came to Hiroshima City alone." On the other end, Jinye chuckled, as if a scheme had succeeded.
"Jinye, you’re indeed cunning! I just arrived in Hiroshima City and you already found out within ten minutes after I got off the plane. Since you know I’m here, shouldn’t we meet and talk?" Lin Mu sneered, curious about Jinye’s plot.
"Talk? Heh, is there anything worth talking about between us? I, Jinye, never talk to dead men." Jinye sneered.
"What are you being arrogant about? It’s not over yet, and it’s not certain who will win! But since we agreed beforehand and I’m in Hiroshima now, let Man Luo go. Our grudges can be settled between us!" Lin Mu said. His important mission this time was to rescue Man Luo. Only by rescuing her first could Lin Mu proceed without reservations because with Man Luo in the enemy’s hands, Lin Mu would have had reservations when fighting the opponent.
"Heh, want to see your woman, huh? Alright, I’ll fulfill your wish. You’ll meet her soon enough in the Underworld, hahaha." As Jinye spoke, he laughed wildly.
"Jinye, you bastard, what have you done to Man Luo?" Lin Mu was infuriated. His bottom line was that Man Luo wouldn’t be harmed.
"Lin Mu, I’ll be honest with you— when I went to find Man Luo, she had already jumped into the river to commit suicide, and her phone was left in the car. I couldn’t find her, so I used a little trick to lure you to Hiroshima. Rest assured, I’ll soon reunite you both in the Underworld." Jinye’s tone suddenly turned very cold.
Holding the phone, Lin Mu’s arm trembled slightly, "Jinye. I won’t let you get away with this."
"Hahaha, better take care of yourself, enjoy the thrill of death, bye-bye..." Jinye laughed maniacally while saying goodbye to Lin Mu, making it clear it was a foreboding of death!
Relying on his extraordinary Seventh Sense, Lin Mu immediately sensed a feeling of impending doom, as if he heard the ticking of a clock beneath the car. Yes, it wasn’t an illusion; Lin Mu caught the sound with his sharp senses—a timed bomb was attached under the car!
"Not good!"
Lin Mu cried out, and the next second, a violent explosion erupted around him. The entire car was lifted off the ground, airwaves scattered, quickly turning the vehicle into a sea of flames that lit up the night in Hiroshima City brightly.
Even cars passing by were affected, overturning from the shockwave, while Jinye, hearing the explosion over the phone, laughed uncontrollably, almost to the point of madness.
"Lin Mu, you’re finally dead, finally dead." Jinye, eyes red, kept growling, the frustration of many days releasing at this moment.
This incident tonight had also been planned long ago by Jinye. The rental car wasn’t driven by an ordinary taxi driver, but a Warrior of the Jushi Association, and Jinye used this mutual destruction method to blow Lin Mu to pieces.
As for the Warrior, exchanging one life for Lin Mu’s was worth it because if Lin Mu were attacked head-on, countless assassins might have been sacrificed without being able to take down Lin Mu!.
The phone call earlier was also Jinye’s ploy to divert Lin Mu’s attention. Evidently, Lin Mu seemed extraordinarily keen, apparently pre-sensing any danger, something Jinye was aware of. So, to be safe, diverting his attention was necessary to easily eliminate him.
At this moment, Uro Iji walked over from behind, asking, "How did it go? Is it over?"
"It’s done. I heard the explosion personally, and now Lin Mu’s phone has automatically disconnected, which means he’s turned to ashes with the phone." Jinye said excitedly.
Uro Iji remained expressionless. Even though Lin Mu was dead, his beloved sister was already gone, an unchangeable fact, so Uro Iji’s hatred was not completely dispelled. What he wanted was revenge, endless revenge.
He had already found out Lin Mu had several women around him. Since Lin Mu had no relatives, he could only start with the women around him for revenge.
"Prepare yourselves; we’ll go to Wancheng tomorrow. I want to take down those women of Lin Mu as well." Uro Iji said coldly.
"Brother Iji, we should be cautious. The Huaxia police are still chasing us, and showing up now isn’t convenient. I understand your hatred isn’t quenched. I promise that after a while, I will personally accompany you to mess with Lin Mu’s women, seeking vengeance for your deceased sister," Jinye advised Uro Iji.
In this situation, Jinye needed to advise, as going to Wancheng with Uro Iji posed greater risks for Jinye. After all, he’s a Huaxia citizen, and if captured by the police in Wancheng, the chances for bail are slim, but Uro Iji, being an Easterner, has more room for maneuvering, even a chance for bail back to his country.
Therefore, Jinye needed to advise Uro Iji, though not for himself, rather focusing on the bigger picture.
Uro Iji, hearing Jinye’s words, pondered for a while, then nodded, "Fine, we’ll wait for a few days."
Meanwhile, in Hiroshima City, in an ordinary house, Lin Mu lay on a bed, slowly opening his eyes. A piercing sunlight shone in, making Lin Mu frown.
Looking around at the surroundings, it was an ordinary room, painted pink, very clean and with women’s clothing inside.
"Phew..." Lin Mu took a deep breath, trying to sit up, but a wave of pain spread throughout his body.
"Damn, Jinye, that bastard." Lin Mu moved his body slightly. Last night was truly a narrow escape. If it weren’t for using the Diamond Sutra’s Inner Strength to shield against the explosion’s shockwave, Lin Mu would probably be dead. Even so, he still felt a whole body ache and quickly lost consciousness.
