Chapter 1104: Chapter 1119: The Temptation of the Bath Towel

Jinye frowned, "Suicide? How is that possible?"

Moreover, as far as Jinye’s understanding of the Jushi Association was concerned, Yitian and his people would have no reason to turn on each other. As for Yitian’s supposed use of stimulants, Jinye could almost guess—it was likely DNA-catalyzing enzyme.

But why would Yitian take a DNA-catalyzing enzyme? Yitian must be aware of the side effects of such a drug. This situation can only suggest one thing: Yitian and his team undoubtedly encountered something very dangerous or met a formidable opponent, forcing them to use the DNA-catalyzing enzyme to save their lives.

But if that’s the case, it means this person is incredibly skilled, because no other people’s bodies were found at the scene. How could someone survive an attack from a powerful mutant? It’s simply unimaginable.

"Boss Jin, apart from these few corpses, no traces of outsiders were found at the scene, which can also confirm that my guess is correct," Liu Dacheng said with a self-satisfied tone.

Jinye nodded and asked, "Did you find any suspicious clues at the site?"

"No, nothing was found."

"Was there any surveillance footage?"

"There was surveillance, but coincidentally, the footage from that period is missing. It might have been accidentally deleted," Liu Dacheng replied.

Upon hearing this, Jinye’s facial muscles twitched slightly. It seemed the other party had prepared thoroughly. To Liu Dacheng, who thought highly of himself, it appeared as if Jinye was appreciating him. However, deep down, Jinye felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

This opponent is tremendously powerful, having taken down Yamamoto and Yitian, two key figures in the research of DNA-catalyzing enzyme, in a single night. And this person comes from an extremely secretive background, executing their actions cleanly and leaving no traces, even outmaneuvering Jinye without a single clue.

From these two incidents, Jinye could discern the opponent’s clear intention—the DNA-catalyzing enzyme.

"Officer Liu, I’m asking you to investigate this matter. If you can find any clues, I’ll give you this amount," Jinye said, holding up one finger.

"Boss Jin, actually, the police working with you is a given. Besides, what you’re offering is far too much. How could I dare accept a hundred thousand from you..."

"No, Officer Liu, it’s a million!" Jinye immediately interrupted him. "But, you know, what I need are clues. Money, well, is no big deal; the Jinye Group doesn’t lack that. Haha, we’ve been old friends, let’s not stand on ceremony. If a brother needs help, you lend a hand. I’ll first give you half a million as a retainer," Jinye stated.

Hearing half a million mentioned, Liu Dacheng was even more shocked, his mouth agape for a long time. He initially thought the finger Jinye held up implied a hundred thousand, but it turned out to be a million. For Liu Dacheng, the captain of a criminal investigation team, a million was an astronomical figure. Naturally, he couldn’t resist such temptation. After all, a cop like him, always eager for money, wasn’t taking Jinye’s money for the first or second time. Nobody finds money cumbersome, after all.

"Boss Jin, rest assured, I’ll get to the bottom of this for you," Liu Dacheng was brimming with confidence, encouraged by the million.

"Alright, I trust you," Jinye patted Liu Dacheng on the shoulder.

The two exchanged pleasantries, talking about nothing of substance, and then Jinye left with Chengzai. With the situation as it was, there wasn’t much Jinye could do but arrange for people to investigate further, as he couldn’t completely rely on Liu Dacheng.

As for Yitian and the others, they would have to wait for Uro Iji from the Corporation to resolve it. Though Yitian belonged to the Corporation, he wasn’t of particular significance—just a low-level figure, otherwise, the situation would become complicated.

Back in the car, Jinye casually took out a large cigar and put it in his mouth, and Chengzai quickly lit it for him. Jinye took a deep drag and expelled a wisp of smoke, instructing Chengzai, "Chengzai, send some people to investigate. Also, the factory needs more manpower. I have a feeling something major might happen there. Uro Iji will arrive here tomorrow night; we can’t afford any further incidents. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood. I’ll have someone keep a close watch on those guys in the Zhengzhou area, and I’ll send more people to the factory as well. Master Jin can rest assured," Chengzai nodded.

"Alright, let’s head back then," Jinye said, reclining into the car seat and closing his eyes slowly.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu and Man Luo finished dining at the restaurant, chatted, and returned to the hotel. Man Luo took a leisurely hot shower and soon walked out of the bathroom.

Seeing this goddess wrapped in a towel, Lin Mu felt an irresistible allure! She looked particularly endearing, especially with Man Luo flashing a cheeky smile, making her seem even more feminine. If developed a bit further, the charm of a newlywed would surely be even more captivating. He looked at her enticing red lips, nearly unable to resist the urge to kiss her.

But now, the situation was that he had feelings, and she didn’t. Lin Mu obviously wanted to take advantage of the situation, perhaps get a little closer, but unfortunately, she wasn’t willing. Though they had been through such a moment once, it still wasn’t possible now.

Man Luo looked at Lin Mu, who was grinning foolishly at her, and playfully glared at him before asking, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Haha, because you’re beautiful, even more so without that towel," Lin Mu said without hiding his thoughts. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Hmph, you rogue, dream on," Man Luo, already accustomed to Lin Mu’s behavior, retorted before heading back to her room. Man Luo changed her clothes and soon emerged again.

"Oh, why did you change out of the towel, sis?" Lin Mu asked, looking somewhat disappointed.

"What’s it to you? Didn’t you like seeing me without a towel? Now you can look all you want!"

"Great, I don’t mind at all. Why don’t you let me look at you all night tonight?" Lin Mu chuckled.

"You...scoundrel!" Man Luo glared at Lin Mu, "Say another word, and I’ll castrate you."

Lin Mu shuddered, "Uh, sis, would you really?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll show you right now."

"Uh, alright, let’s forget it then." Lin Mu was speechless, helplessly spreading his hands. This girl was truly fierce, like a rose with thorns, beautiful yet deadly if you provoke her!

Moreover, this girl was a professional assassin. Although Lin Mu wasn’t worried about dying at her hands, it never hurts to be cautious,

Man Luo sat down on the sofa. "What do you plan to do next?"
