Chapter 1267: Chapter 1282: Hatanaka’s Weakness
How can he continue to survive? Where is the Director’s dignity? How can he continue to stand firm in Hiroshima City? So he must exact revenge and make Lin Mu pay an even bigger price.
"Alright then, Little Ghost Director, I’m waiting for you, but before you can take revenge, I’m going to give you a good thrashing first." Lin Mu said with a mischievous smile.
"You, what do you want to do?" Kikyo said, glaring at Lin Mu.
"Oh, I’m so scared. Since you’ve decided not to let me go, I have to take advantage of the opportunity to beat you up properly. I can’t just wait for you to come and beat me, can I?" Lin Mu smiled arrogantly.
Upon hearing Lin Mu’s words, Kikyo suddenly felt a pang of regret and wished he hadn’t said anything. But Lin Mu didn’t give Kikyo a chance to regret it, grabbing Kikyo by the collar and yanking him out of the car. Without a word, he slapped him hard across the face twice.
Of course, Kikyo had no chance to fight back in front of Lin Mu. Just two slaps had him thrown to the ground, and Lin Mu kicked him several times while he lay there. For these Little Devils, especially those in the military and police, Lin Mu, like all the passionate young people of Huaxia, is determined to beat them every time he sees them. Thinking about it, he felt it wasn’t enough, so he pulled Kikyo up from the ground and gave him two more hard slaps, finally stopping.
At this moment, Kikyo was already howling in pain. He had been a director in the Eastern police force for decades, yet he didn’t expect anyone to be so brazen as to hit him! No face was left intact! After beating Kikyo, Lin Mu happily took Caini’s hand, and the two left the scene cheerfully without any pressure.
Upon leaving the neighborhood, Caini couldn’t hide her excitement, chirping like a little bird and praising Lin Mu’s impressiveness, repeatedly saying, "Brother Lin, you’re amazing!" One has to admit, Lin Mu had brought her so many surprises. Probably only Lin Mu would dare to so openly beat up the Eastern director, right?
"Brother Lin, aren’t you afraid the Easterners will take revenge on you?" Caini asked.
"Being afraid is useless, they’ve already taken revenge." Lin Mu chuckled.
"True indeed." Caini nodded. To be accurate, Kikyo was indeed already trying to take revenge, but it only made him look more pathetic and gave Lin Mu another moment to shine.
"Hehe, today I earned again, earned a wife!" Lin Mu laughed heartily, looking at Caini.
Upon hearing this, Caini quickly pouted and stopped talking. But thinking about it, being this guy’s wife isn’t necessarily a bad thing. He’s so capable of fighting, she’d never have to worry about anyone bullying her again. But didn’t this guy also say he already has many wives at home?
Caini became conflicted again, but upon thinking further, she felt at ease. Since he has many wives and the other wives don’t mind, why should she, being a newcomer, care?
After some contemplation, Caini gladly accepted it. After this incident, Caini and Lin Mu’s relationship was instantly elevated to a new high level. They arrived at a bar, where Lin Mu and Caini found Guo Meimei in a room.
"Sister Mei, we’re here!" Caini called out excitedly upon entering the room, with the sound of someone who just fell in love.
Looking at Lin Mu and Caini holding hands, Guo Meimei smiled, "What are you two up to?"
"Sister Mei, Lin Mu is now my boyfriend!" Caini blushed, feeling a little shy.
"No, it’s husband, not boyfriend." Lin Mu corrected.
"You’re terrible." Caini punched Lin Mu. This guy is just shameless!
"Sister Mei, I already visited Hatanaka Tairou last night." Lin Mu said.
"How did it go?" Guo Meimei asked, though she wasn’t in a hurry to find out anything specific because if Hatanaka Tairou had indeed been taken down by Lin Mu, she’d have known immediately.
"Hatanaka Tairou is like an old monster. After an encounter with him, we just ended in a draw. I was temporarily unable to take his life." Lin Mu said.
Guo Meimei nodded, saying, "Being able to tie with him is already quite good! This way, he’ll also be wary of you and won’t dare to take immediate revenge."
"Meimei, I came to you this time actually to ask for your help. Can you think of any weaknesses that Hatanaka Tairou might have exposed, or perhaps secrets he doesn’t want others to know?" Lin Mu asked.
"Well, Hatanaka Tairou is very irritable after finishing his training. Besides this, there seems to be nothing else. He’s very peculiar and tends to have a regular routine; it’s just martial arts, tea, rest, and he doesn’t do anything else. As for the matters of the Jushi Association, they’re all managed with Lingmu’s help. He only makes decisions on major issues." Guo Meimei said.
"Does this old guy really have no weaknesses?" Lin Mu was rather frustrated.
Guo Meimei thought for a while and then said, "There’s an unusual phenomenon that might be of use?"
"What phenomenon?" Lin Mu hurriedly asked.
"In the past, Hatanaka Tairou only looked for women after training, but now he seems to do so at night as well. And the timing is weird, always around midnight. However, Hatanaka Tairou never trains martial arts at night, but his condition seems just like after finishing training." Guo Meimei said.
"Midnight?" Lin Mu frowned, pondering for a while, seemingly realizing something, "Could it be a problem with Cultivation, or perhaps he’s gone astray..."
"Meimei, do you mean his night condition is also very irritable?" Lin Mu asked again.
"Yes, it is. I’ve seen it several times myself." Guo Meimei nodded.
"Hehe, so this is his weakness!" Lin Mu’s eyes lit up, and a mischievous smile surfaced on his face.
"What is his weakness, you’re saying?" Caini asked curiously.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. This is a phenomenon in Cultivation. I can’t explain it clearly. Anyway, by midnight, he’s probably at his weakest." Lin Mu chuckled.
"Does that mean you’re able to beat Hatanaka Tairou now?" Caini asked excitedly.
"Well, I don’t have absolute certainty, but there’s at least an eighty to ninety percent chance I can defeat him." Lin Mu nodded.
"When do you plan to make a move again?" Caini asked.
"Tonight." Lin Mu said, tonight is undoubtedly the best time to strike. Firstly, during our earlier skirmish, he accidentally inhaled the poison of the Black Qi, so he is still recuperating, and his body hasn’t fully recovered. Secondly, he wouldn’t expect Lin Mu to bother him tonight, so he might be unprepared. This means when Hatanaka Tairou is at his weakest and least expecting it, catching him off guard, Lin Mu’s chances of success greatly increase.
