Chapter 1084: Chapter 1099: Going to Zhengzhou to Deal with Jinye

"Hehe, alright, it’s my subordinates’ fault, I apologize to you, brother!" As expected, Xu Jie is broad-minded and doesn’t argue with Lin Mu, "Brother, how have you been doing in Wancheng lately?"

"Not bad, enjoying eating and drinking." Lin Mu chuckled.

"You kid, still the same as before, haven’t changed a bit." Xu Jie laughed and then asked, "What brings you to Beijing this time?"

"Helping the old man with something, I might have to leave tomorrow, I’m quite busy you know!" Lin Mu said.

"Oh, busy with what?"

"Busy making money!"

"Hehe," Xu Jie laughed, indeed still a junior, much younger, and their mindsets are very different, so their ways of doing things are completely different too, "Why don’t you wait for the master to have some free time, have a chat with him before you leave?"

Lin Mu waved him off, "Better not, the old man’s too busy, doesn’t have time for me, besides if he finds out I got into trouble again this time, he’ll definitely kick my butt, so I’ve decided, let’s just drink our fill and head back!"

"Haha, alright then, today we brothers will drink to our heart’s content, I love drinking with you the most." Xu Jie said cheerfully, genuinely happy to see Lin Mu.

"Hey, I also love drinking with you the most, senior brother, come on." Lin Mu picked up his glass again.

And so, the two drank heartily, chatting about many things at the table, mostly about matters related to Elder Lin, this round of drinks, Lin Mu and Xu Jie drank about two kilograms together, both of them had about the same tolerance, though not drunk, they were very satisfied with the drinking.

"Alright, it’s about time, I still have unfinished work, need to head back first." Xu Jie looked at the time and said.

"Alright then, senior brother, let’s drink again when we have the chance, next time we must drink till we’re thoroughly wasted." Lin Mu chuckled.

"Definitely."

After Xu Jie left, Lin Mu took a cab back to his hotel, and upon entering the room, found Man Luo lying on the bed watching TV.

"You’re back." Man Luo stood up and glanced at Lin Mu, frowning, "Didn’t you go to the police station?"

"Yeah, what’s up?" Lin Mu nodded and said.

"You’ve been drinking, haven’t you? You reek of alcohol!"

"Uh..." Lin Mu chuckled, "I did go to the police station, then coincidentally ran into the minister of the Public Security Department, who’s a good buddy of mine, so we had some drinks together."

Man Luo listening to this was a bit dizzy, this guy actually knows the commissioner of the police department?

"Pfft, who’d believe that the commissioner would drink with you?" Man Luo shot Lin Mu a disbelieving look.

"Don’t believe it? How about we make a bet, if what I said is true, from now on you’ll have to listen to whatever I say, deal?" Lin Mu smiled and suggested.

Man Luo wasn’t that foolish anymore and wouldn’t fall into his trap so easily again.

"No bet, but I still don’t believe it!" Man Luo assertively rejected Lin Mu’s proposal, if she lost again, who knows what mischievous ideas Lin Mu would come up with to trouble her.

Of course, Man Luo wouldn’t agree, especially after the last incident, she had come to newer realizations about Lin Mu, this guy has a complex background, definitely not a simple character.

Just as Lin Mu was going to provoke Man Luo further, his phone rang, glancing at the number, it was Professor Zhang calling, maybe he had some research results.

"Professor Zhang, are there any results?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, Lin Mu, do you have time now? We have some research results, but due to limited time, the effectiveness during the trial period isn’t perfect, but it does have some effect, come and take a look, then I plan to form a team of researchers to focus on the structural issues of the DNA-catalyzing enzyme." Professor Zhang said.

"Alright, I’ll come to find you right away, thank you, Professor Zhang!"

After hanging up, Lin Mu and Man Luo head to the Genetic Research Center together, arriving at Professor Zhang’s office, where he handed a small box to Lin Mu.

"Lin Mu, inside the box are a few bottles of spray I made overnight. If you encounter people who have ingested the DNA-catalyzing enzyme, you can spray it on them, and this spray would be absorbed by their bodies, thereby greatly reducing their resistance to blows." Professor Zhang said, "Due to time constraints, the effect may not be perfect, but it’s my best effort!"

Lin Mu opened it to take a look and asked, "How much can it lower their superpower?"

"Given the limitations, this counteracting DNA-catalyzing enzyme effect isn’t too strong, it can lower about two levels of their superpower." Professor Zhang said.

"Hmm, that’s not bad, it’s already weakened their peak state a lot." Lin Mu nodded in satisfaction.

"Rest assured, Lin Mu, we’ll research the DNA-catalyzing enzyme formula as soon as possible, and then it won’t be hard to find a way to counter it, just need a bit more time." Professor Zhang said.

"Time isn’t an issue, discuss other matters with Elder Lin, he should have the arrangements." Lin Mu said.

"Alright." Professor Zhang nodded, clearly happy, as this was a scientific problem that had stumped him for years, and at this moment, Lin Mu provided them with a direction, having such a perfect test subject for their research was a huge help!

Now that they’ve found a drug to suppress the DNA-catalyzing enzyme, Lin Mu and the others should return to Wancheng, leaving the Military Science and Technology Research Institute, Lin Mu and Man Luo drove back to their hotel, intending to have a good night’s rest, then depart for home the next morning, so they could once again handle the long journey back and endure it physically.

On their way back to the hotel, Lin Mu’s phone rang again, this time it was Elder Lin calling.

"Old man, what’s up?" Lin Mu once again assumed his cheeky tone.

"How did things go?" Elder Lin asked.

"Went quite smoothly, at least we’ve managed to research a counteracting potion for the mutations, I’ve arranged for Professor Zhang to contact you about the rest." Lin Mu said. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"That’s good, when are you planning to come back?" Elder Lin asked.

"Tomorrow morning, I’ll rest well tonight."

"Don’t return to Wancheng for now." Elder Lin said.

"Why? Is there something else?" Lin Mu asked.

"Regarding the DNA-catalyzing enzyme issue, it must not be taken lightly, I’m giving you two tasks: first, find out the source route of the Jinye Group’s DNA-catalyzing enzyme, second, destroy all of Jinye Group’s DNA-catalyzing enzymes, such things must not remain in their hands, but your approach must be appropriate, don’t push them to the brink, their possession of such things could lead to a terrifying societal disaster if left unchecked, you understand what I mean, right?" Elder Lin instructed.

"Oh, I get it, Jinye’s base is in Zhengzhou, so shall I head to Zhengzhou?" Lin Mu asked.
