Chapter 1089: Chapter 1104: Jinye’s Strength

"Alright then, I’ve been driving for a day and a night, I’m exhausted. I need to rest for a bit."

"Okay, let’s do that."

"Hmm!" Lin Mu hung up the phone, stretched lazily, and fell asleep quickly due to his tiredness. It wasn’t until past eleven in the morning that Man Luo woke him up.

Lin Mu rubbed his eyes, "What’s up, sis? Can’t sleep? Well, let me hold you while you sleep, alright? Come on, lay down with me!"

Man Luo glared at Lin Mu fiercely. She had seen narcissistic guys, but never someone so excessively self-absorbed and shameless. She couldn’t help but chide, "Get lost! Who wants to sleep with you? I just want to discuss matters about Jinye. He’s my employer, so I know a bit more about his situation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu sprang out of bed. He almost forgot that Man Luo was connected with Jinye, so she surely knew some inside information.

"Oh, how could I forget you’re the insider! Come, sit and chat." Lin Mu patted his bed invitingly.

"I’ll wait for you in the living room. Put some clothes on and come talk there," Man Luo said, turning out of Lin Mu’s room.

"Uh..." Lin Mu shrugged helplessly, murmuring to himself, "I wasn’t trying to take advantage of you, you don’t have to be so petty about it."

Quickly, Lin Mu dressed and walked out of his room. In the living room, Man Luo was puffing a lady’s cigarette, exhaling a perfect smoke ring!

In films and TV, bald men and smoking women are usually villains! But looking at Man Luo’s demeanor and aura, she didn’t seem villainous at all. She looked like a queen of the night scene—elegant, wickedly charming, a true queen—totally opposite to Sophie’s graceful style! The two women were literal extremes in the women’s world!

Yet as a traditional Huaxia man, Lin Mu was still uncomfortable with Man Luo’s demeanor since smoking women generally symbolized depravity, much like how bald men reminded one of convicts. So Lin Mu stepped up and snatched the cigarette right from Man Luo’s hand, lighting one for himself instead.

Man Luo frowned at Lin Mu, "What are you doing?"

"I dislike women smoking. Women should act like women." Lin Mu slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"I smoke my own cigarettes, why does it matter to you?" Man Luo retorted.

"It didn’t matter before, so I said nothing when you smoked in front of me. Everyone has their hobbies, after all. But now it does matter. Now you’re my wife, and I’m a typical man. So as my woman, you can’t do things that men dislike, and women smoking is something I dislike the most." Lin Mu said casually, without any hint of joking.

Man Luo glared at Lin Mu. If it were someone else, she’d slap him immediately—maybe even throw punches and kicks. But looking at Lin Mu’s naturally intimidating gaze, she surprisingly softened, for the first time subdued by a man—a magical feeling!

Nonetheless, Man Luo stubbornly replied, "You sure like to meddle in everything!"

"Hmm, not really. Women should act like women, and I don’t want my wife acting like a villain. Now, tell me about Jinye!" Lin Mu said, sitting beside Man Luo, comfortably puffing his cigarette, leaving Man Luo to only smell the smoke.

For reasons unknown, this time, Man Luo, the big boss of the Women’s Assassin Squad, unexpectedly didn’t cause trouble. She candidly talked to Lin Mu about Jinye, "Actually, I don’t know Jinye very well, but I know some things. Jinye Group basically monopolizes the entire Zhengzhou economic circle, including real estate, commerce, and transportation, though most of it is smuggling. Zhengzhou’s largest Five-Star International Club, Jinye Imperial City, is his biggest asset and earns the most. You should also know about his powerful underlings—he’s known as Emperor in the Henan area, and naturally has strong gangster forces."

"Jinye Imperial City? Haha, the name’s a bit tacky." Lin Mu chuckled.

"Tacky? Well, what’s a name that’s not tacky then?" Man Luo asked.

"Uh..." Lin Mu shrugged, "I don’t like the name Jinye, Flying Dragon Imperial City sounds much better."

Man Luo was speechless, giving Lin Mu a helpless look, "Dizzy, you’re like a gangster leader. We’re here to deal with Jinye, not to seize territory, really leaves one speechless!"

"Haha, for me, after taking down Jinye, we must seize his territory. Otherwise, all that effort to take down Jinye would be wasted, letting others benefit from conquering Henan, wouldn’t it?" Lin Mu said.

"You think Jinye can be taken down that easily? Let me tell you, the whole Zhengzhou area is his. If he wants, he can gather five or six hundred helpers in an hour. Even if you find the DNA-catalyzing enzyme and take down Jinye, you likely can’t escape. Besides, there are many masters around him, so taking action won’t be easy!" Man Luo analyzed.

"What’s your suggestion?" Lin Mu lit another cigarette, heavily blowing out a smoke ring. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"My suggestion is that we first figure out his lifestyle before taking action. The saying is ’a powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its own domain.’ Though your Flying Dragon Sect is powerful, this is still Jinye’s turf. He’s a big boss in Henan for a reason, surely with unique strengths. So we must not underestimate him!"

Hearing Man Luo’s insight, Lin Mu agreed strongly. Although Lin Mu believes his strength is unmatched, unafraid of any of Jinye’s opponents, recklessly relying on brute force is far from enough. Two fists can’t beat four hands, and the opponents might be even more numerous than estimated. Now they were in the lion’s den, needing a foolproof plan to defeat the enemy.
