Chapter 1243: Chapter 1258: I’m Sticking With You
Seeing Lingmu bringing people over, Caini finally felt relieved and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. If she hadn’t been smart enough to call Lingmu, she would probably have fallen into the hands of that Nakamura.
"Mr. Lingmu," Caini pushed Nakamura away and ran to Lingmu’s side.
"What’s going on here?" Lingmu looked at Caini and asked.
"Mr. Lingmu, it’s this person. He just said that even if Lord Hatanaka came, he would have to be humble in front of him." Caini pointed at Nakamura in the crowd.
"Bastard, who has such guts?" Lingmu was furious after hearing this.
Nakamura stood at the front of the crowd, never turning his head until now. He slowly turned around to look at Lingmu, "It was me."
Lingmu was about to burst out cursing and giving him a good lesson, but after seeing the person’s face clearly, Lingmu was stunned for a moment and exclaimed in surprise, "Nakamura-kun."
"What, do you want to hit me?" Nakamura said, looking at Mr. Lingmu.
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare, a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!" Lingmu quickly lowered his head. The arrogant demeanor he had just displayed vanished in an instant, and he looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, completely deflated.
"Since that’s the case, then why haven’t you left yet?" Nakamura’s tone was very unpleasant.
"Caini, let’s go quickly." Lingmu instructed.
"Wait a minute."
Just as Caini was about to leave, Nakamura called out, "You leave, but leave her behind."
"Nakamura-kun, we’re all on the same side, you see..."
"Get lost!"
Lingmu looked at Caini for a moment and had no choice but to turn and walk away.
"Hey, Mr. Lingmu, Mr. Lingmu," Caini shouted several times, wanting him to come back, but it was useless. Lingmu left the scene without looking back, taking his people with him.
This Nakamura was indeed someone Lingmu couldn’t afford to offend because he was none other than the son of the Chief of the Guard. As the saying goes, common people can’t fight officials, no matter which government it is, that’s the principle. So offending an important figure for the sake of Caini wasn’t worth it.
"Hmph, what kind of person is that!" Caini, seeing Lingmu run faster than a rabbit, stomped in anger, of course, not just angry but also very anxious. What should she do now? With Lingmu not caring, she’d definitely get beaten up by Nakamura.
Nakamura looked at Caini, full of smugness, "What’s the matter? I’ll give you another chance. As long as you sleep with me and make me feel good, I’ll let you go."
"Dream on!" Caini said, then quickly ran over to Lin Mu. At this moment, Lin Mu was the only man around her. Even if he couldn’t fight, at least he was someone to lean on!
Lin Mu glanced at Caini, showing no sign of tension, then smiled and said, "Sister, I’ll help you deal with them. Can you agree to help me in return?"
Caini looked at Lin Mu, "I mean, at a time like this, you still have the mood to brag?"
"Uh... when did I ever brag?" Lin Mu said, feeling a bit frustrated.
"You’re telling me you’d fight those ten or more guys by yourself? If you’re not bragging, what is it?" Caini said helplessly.
"I’m serious. If you agree with me, I’ll have them rolling on the ground in no time," Lin Mu said.
Caini looked at Lin Mu, surprised that his skills continued to be exaggerated, so she casually replied, "Alright then, I really want to see if you’re just all talk. If you can chase them away, that would count as helping me out, and I’ll owe you a favor. If you need my help in the future, I promise I’ll assist you!"
"Alright, it’s settled then. I’m about to get started!" Lin Mu gave a charming smile, and then to Caini’s astonishment, she saw his figure dash towards Nakamura’s group like a whirlwind.
In the next second, all she saw was Lin Mu weaving in and out among them, throwing punches and kicks. Everywhere his blows landed, Nakamura’s people clutched their stomachs, collapsing on the ground in pain, writhing and screaming miserably.
Caini hadn’t even processed what had happened, wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her, when suddenly that nimble figure reappeared before her. It was Lin Mu, whose speed seemed almost superhuman.
"Alright, sister, I’ve already taken care of them," Lin Mu calmly pointed at the fallen Nakamura and his group lying on the ground.
Finally coming back to her senses, Caini looked at Lin Mu with disbelief, "You, alone, took down more than ten people?"
Lin Mu calmly nodded, "Yes, why is that strange?"
"You actually handled all those guys by yourself?" Caini had never seen such an impressive feat, to take down more than ten people with ease. She, who’d never seen something like this, was quite amazed today!
"Damn, dealing with these few trashy guys doesn’t count as really impressive, alright? Still, these guys are pushovers. Cleaning them up is a piece of cake. It wouldn’t matter if there were a hundred or eighty of them, I’d handle them easily," Lin Mu said.
Caini took a moment to look carefully at Lin Mu, "Wow, I never noticed before, but it turns out you’re a super expert!"
"Just average, nothing special, barely top three nationwide, maybe considered an expert!" Lin Mu chuckled, being humble for a change.
"Not bad, not bad, Lingmu’s guys are unreliable, it’s still us Huaxia People that you can count on. I’ve decided to follow you," Caini laughed generously, patting Lin Mu on the shoulder.
"Uh... don’t state it so directly, okay?" Lin Mu grinned, "It makes it sound like they have no preparation for this!"
"What are you thinking?" Caini punched Lin Mu lightly, "I just mean hanging out with you, not marrying and settling down with you. What preparation do you need?"
"Hehe, thank you! Actually, all I need is just a favor from you!"
"No need to thank me, just say what kind of help you need," Caini said.
"Can you tell it at your house? It’s not convenient here," Lin Mu said.
"Sure, I just realized you’re quite talented! So, if you’re lucky, you might take down the Jushi Association by yourself, and since you won’t get beaten up, I might be thrilled with your skills and decide to go back to Huaxia with you," Caini chuckled flirtatiously.
"That would be great! Rest assured, I will definitely take you back with me."
However, due to the uncertainty surrounding Man Luo’s life and death, Lin Mu was not in the mood to flirt with this newly met beautiful girl. Meanwhile, Caini called in for a leave. Having performed once earlier, with the next significant event happening in the evening, they were free to do as they pleased during this time.
After leaving the Asahi Club, instead of heading home, Caini suggested they get something to eat. It was already noon, more than three hours since breakfast. Being a certified foodie, Lin Mu indeed felt quite hungry again, and so he followed Caini to a restaurant.
