Chapter 1320: Chapter 1335: Tomboy
"Well, you do have self-awareness. You really aren’t pretty," Lin Mu nodded.
"Oh, Dad, he actually said I’m not pretty," Haihua began to cry like an innocent child.
This crying left Lin Mu bewildered. What on earth was going on?
"Haihua, be good, don’t cry, don’t cry." Brother Scar wanted to intimidate Lin Mu, but realized he had no leverage to do so. His gang was taken down in less than a minute and now no threat would work!
"Alright, I’m tired of playing with you. I have serious business to attend to," Lin Mu waved his hand, then shifted his gaze to Jin Douya.
Although Brother Scar caused a little scene earlier, it didn’t mean Lin Mu would let Jin Douya off the hook. He had laid hands on Lin Mu’s woman, and Lin Mu would never let that go.
Previously arrogant even in crisis, Jin Douya could no longer maintain his arrogance because he was counting on Brother Scar as his trump card. He thought Brother Scar could settle Lin Mu, but after what happened, Jin Douya realized he was dead wrong. He underestimated Lin Mu’s strength and overestimated Brother Scar’s power. Lin Mu took down Brother Scar’s men in just a minute, so how could they remain arrogant?
His trump card was gone, his reliance was gone, Jin Douya knew he was only left to suffer.
"Boss Lin, please, you’re so magnanimous, please just consider me a nuisance and let me go, please spare me, I’m begging you!" Jin Douya finally couldn’t resist Lin Mu’s murderous gaze and pleaded.
"Heh, now you know to beg for mercy? Don’t you think it’s too late?" Lin Mu said with a smile. If it were a small matter, Lin Mu might have let Jin Douya go after a bit of groveling, but he laid hands on Lin Mu’s woman, almost resulting in a catastrophe. Fortunately, Lin Mu arrived just in time, or it would have caused irreparable harm, something Lin Mu absolutely couldn’t tolerate. He wouldn’t give Jin Douya any more chances, just like he wouldn’t for Wang Sicong.
Jin Douya looked at Lin Mu in fear and started retreating, backing up to the office window.
"Please, please let me go, I won’t dare again," Jin Douya pleaded, looking at Lin Mu with a begging expression.
"Haha, do you think that’s possible?" Lin Mu sneered.
Jin Douya looked over at Brother Scar, "Brother Scar, help me out, I gave you twenty million, help me!"
Brother Scar waved his hand, turning around helplessly. Even two billion couldn’t save Jin Douya with Brother Scar’s help.
At this point, Jin Douya was utterly disheartened. He didn’t expect this complicated matter, after all, would lead to his downfall because of a woman.
"Heh, you still don’t want to die?" Lin Mu coldly looked at Jin Douya and said.
Jin Douya heard this from Lin Mu and saw a glimmer of hope. Who the hell wants to die? Better live miserably than die! So he quickly nodded and said, "Of course not, I want to live, Brother Lin, I beg you, give me a chance!"
"Hmm, I suddenly changed my mind. I’ll give you a chance!" Lin Mu stated.
"Thank you, Brother Lin, thank you!" Jin Douya said gratefully.
"No need to thank me. Here’s the deal: you jump out of this window and I’ll let you off, consider it your chance." Lin Mu pointed to the window.
Upon hearing Lin Mu’s words, Jin Douya’s heart sank. Though it was the third floor, it’s over ten meters up, and his wrist was already broken by Lin Mu. Jumping with his hand immobile would mean even if he didn’t die, he’d be badly injured!
"Haha, not willing? If not, no worries, I’d rather do it myself." Lin Mu grinned.
"Wait, wait, I’ll jump, I’ll jump," Jin Douya hurriedly said.
Though jumping might lead to disability, it’s still better than being killed by Lin Mu! So comparing the two options, jumping seemed more worth it. Jin Douya decided to jump, hoping his fate wouldn’t be too severe. Anyway, jumping down certainly meant a broken leg, so he prayed he wouldn’t be entirely crippled.
"Stop babbling and jump already, my patience is running out," Lin Mu said impatiently, waving him off.
Jin Douya hesitated a moment, but eventually climbed onto the window ledge, standing six or seven meters above the ground. Despite his jittery state, there was no choice; not jumping would mean death by Lin Mu’s hands, so he had to brace himself and jump.
"Aah..." Jin Douya shouted to muster his courage, then closed his eyes and jumped.
Soon enough, there was a thud of impact from outside, followed by a hysterical scream.
Lin Mu lit a cigarette, took a slow drag, and thought, "Finally settled the situation, time to sleep." Yet he remembered something unresolved. He still had to make Brother Scar call him ’grandpa’ thrice, as they’d bet. But when Lin Mu glanced at Haihua beside him, who was fixating on him intensely, he felt a chill. So, he decided against making Brother Scar call him ’grandpa’ and thought he should just leave, but Haihua seemed to have long targeted him. Just as Lin Mu was about to leave, Haihua grabbed Lin Mu’s arm.
"Damn, I’m about to pass out!" For some reason, Lin Mu constantly felt a chill down his spine; it was his first time being pursued by a girl and never imagined it could be this thrilling. Parenthesis: very lethal!
At this point, Lin Mu felt somewhat intimidated by this Haihua girl, "Is there something you need?"
Though unnerved internally, Lin Mu remained outwardly calm.
"Of course, there’s something. Brother Lin, will you be my boyfriend?" Haihua said, looking at Lin Mu.
"Uh, of course—not!" Lin Mu refused. Such a fierce girl, he couldn’t handle. If only she were as pretty as Chief Police Officer, then he might consider it.
But compared to Chief Police Officer, Haihua seemed even fiercer. After all, there weren’t many girls on the streets wielding blades and yelling for blood.
"Why not?" Haihua pouted like a little girl and asked coyly.
"Because I like beauties, not tomboys," Lin Mu said.
"I’ve become more feminine now! Hmph, am I not pretty enough?" Haihua protested.
"You call this feminine?" Lin Mu glanced at her and couldn’t bring himself to take a second look. It wasn’t that she was ugly, but her demeanor screamed tomboy, not a hint of a genteel lady!
