Chapter 1093: Chapter 1108: Scouting the Location

"I really don’t know." Mei Niang looked at Lin Mu, trying to resist a little longer. After all, this matter was very important. Mei Niang wouldn’t speak unless she absolutely had to, because once the secret was leaked, Jinye’s numerous plans would be ruined. But now, Mei Niang couldn’t care about that anymore.

"Doesn’t matter if you don’t know, I’m gonna slash your face right now." Lin Mu chuckled.

"You..." Mei Niang looked at Lin Mu, appearing helpless. As a weak woman, she truly had no way out; Lin Mu simply wasn’t responsive to soft nor hard tactics.

"I’ll give you one last chance. If you don’t speak, I’m gonna act. Worst case, I’ll figure something else out." Lin Mu said to Mei Niang.

Mei Niang found herself out of options; evidently, playing mind games with Lin Mu was futile. "I’ll talk."

At this moment, Mei Niang could only submit; that defiant aura quickly vanished.

"Trying to play mind games? You’re not quite there yet." Lin Mu sneered quietly, then put away his dagger. "Speak up. Tell me everything you know about the DNA-catalyzing enzyme, including the ways Jinye obtained those enzymes and the locations where you store them. You must tell me everything. If I’m satisfied, maybe I’ll let you go. But if you try any tricks and upset me, or I hear anything fishy, I’ll slash your pretty face without hesitation. Do you understand?"

Mei Niang nodded, "I understand."

"Alright, let’s hear it." Lin Mu sat back down.

"That batch of DNA-catalyzing enzyme from Jinye was obtained from the East Japan Corporation. We’ve always had connections with them. Through their samples, we’ve now figured out the enzyme’s formula. Currently, they’re in a chemical factory in the suburbs. Those enzymes are just the ordinary type. There’s a stronger, improved variety, but we’re still negotiating and haven’t gotten it yet. That’s the situation." Mei Niang confessed truthfully, without any reservations.

"Are you saying the enzymes you’re using now are just the ordinary type, and there’s an improved type?" Lin Mu asked Mei Niang.

Mei Niang nodded, "Correct. Our goal is to join forces with the Corporation to dominate the entire Huaxia underground world. Yet, the power from ordinary enzymes isn’t enough, and there are side effects. So under these circumstances, we’ve already been discussing the improved enzymes with the Corporation."

After listening, Lin Mu felt a sudden headache. Damn, if the ordinary type is so powerful, then wouldn’t the improved type be invincible?

Lin Mu then realized the gravity of the situation; this matter wasn’t so simple. It involved the black forces of East Japan. And considering what Professor Zhang said about these DNA-catalyzing enzymes originating from East Japan, everything seemed to connect.

It appears the root cause is the Corporation. They obtained this mysterious scientific breakthrough through some unknown means and then brought the project to Jinye Group. Jinye Group, leveraging their substantial financial power, hired researchers at high salaries and successfully cracked the formula. That means, not only did Jinye Group produce a considerable scale of these enzymes, but they also possess the formula.

So what Lin Mu has to do now is demolish Jinye Group’s so-called chemical factory and eliminate all the key researchers. This is the only way to solve the problem. No matter what, such evil, ****** creation must not remain in the world; otherwise, it would be a bloody impact on human civilization.

Lin Mu thought for a moment, then looked at Mei Niang, "There’s one more thing I need your help with."

Mei Niang glanced at Lin Mu, asking cautiously, "What is it?"

"Take me to your chemical factory. I want to see what’s going on there." Lin Mu said with a smile.

Mei Niang pondered for a while, then said to Lin Mu, "That’s the place Jinye values the most; even I can’t get in."

"Can’t get in, but you’ve got to. If I ask you to take me, I know you definitely have another way." Lin Mu chuckled.

"You..." Mei Niang glared at Lin Mu, evidently enraged and resentful. This guy was not only shameless but also unreasonable.

"Heh, let’s go." Lin Mu chuckled.

Mei Niang had no choice; she was already held hostage by Lin Mu and could only obey. Otherwise, Lin Mu’s dagger would definitely slash her beautiful face.

Even though she had Jinye backing her, that was only because of her good looks and figure. If her pretty face gets slashed, everything would be over for her. So under Lin Mu’s coercion, Mei Niang had no choice but to dress up properly, then followed Lin Mu out of the room.

"Remember, since I have the skills to catch you from the twentieth floor, I can kill you anytime. So don’t try any tricks, or don’t blame me for being ruthless." Lin Mu reminded her.

Mei Niang nodded, took her handbag, and walked out the door. Lin Mu followed behind Mei Niang like her personal bodyguard. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t catch anyone’s attention because Mei Niang often changed bodyguards; it was nothing unusual. Moreover, considering Mei Niang’s special status, even if Lin Mu seemed unfamiliar, no henchman dared to step forward and casually ask questions, lest they invited trouble!

So the two went downstairs smoothly without sparking suspicion and left the International Club together. Mei Niang got into Lin Mu’s car.

Under Mei Niang’s guidance, Lin Mu drove to the foot of a mountain in the suburbs of Zhengzhou. There, the road ended, and they had to walk. Lin Mu got out of the car and glanced at the surroundings. Jinye really knew how to pick a place; mountains surrounded it, mountain after mountain, in this godforsaken spot producing such drugs would hardly attract outsiders’ attention.

The two got out of the car and walked, with Mei Niang leading Lin Mu step by step up the mountain. After about five or six minutes, Lin Mu saw a factory not far ahead, built halfway up the mountain, covering roughly one acre. Judging by the looks, it cost a pretty penny—without a couple billion, it would be hard to achieve such scale.

Even with his keen Seventh Sense, Lin Mu had long sensed numerous people secretly watching them; these individuals were quite skilled in their numbers but didn’t concern him. After all, Mei Niang was in front of him, and they knew Mei Niang, so suspicion towards him was unlikely. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to reach here.

"You could have driven up just fine, why not let me drive up?" Lin Mu glanced aside, spotting a nearby small road, completely passable by car.

Mei Niang glanced at Lin Mu, responding coldly, "Do you think just any car can drive in here? There are rules here; your car has an out-of-town plate, they’d undoubtedly suspect your identity. I don’t want to die with you, so finish your business and leave quickly. Don’t drag me down with you!"
