Chapter 1081: Chapter 727: Mu Lin’s Fear (Second Update) _2

The two little ones patted their chests, "Don’t worry, Mommy, we won’t cause any trouble for Grandpa Zhou." Feeling incredibly proud, they thought, how could they possibly cause trouble? They were so smart, agile, and cute.

Mu Lin nodded in satisfaction and then glanced at Qiaozi, who had been quietly sitting beside them the whole time, and the silver on its head, "Follow me; we’ve got a mission." Taking them along would sometimes be more convenient.

The two immediately stood up straight, excited; Qiaozi and Silver, now tamed by Nuonuo and Yueyue’s training, had basically forgotten how to fight. If Silver had dared stand on Qiaozi’s forehead like that in the past, Qiaozi would have gone crazy.

Those two were utterly subdued by the little ones.

Then, in front of the two adults and two children inside the room, Mu Lin disappeared with Qiaozi and Silver into the elder’s office.

The elder and Zhan Zhong exchanged glances, realizing that all they could do now was to trust; they had to believe that they would return safely.

It should take at least an hour to get from the elder’s location to the troops, but Mu Lin actually made it in less than forty minutes. That driving was incredible—terrifying, really.

When Mu Lin arrived at Ying Sun’s Training Ground, exactly forty minutes had passed, and everyone was already fully equipped and waiting to depart.

Upon seeing Mu Lin, Jing Chen gave a slight nod.

"Let’s move out," Black Shark commanded, and everyone swiftly boarded the already prepared fighter jets, Jing Chen walked up to Mu Lin, "Let’s go; I’ve already prepared your equipment." And some other things that might be needed.

Mu Lin nodded, and then they quickly boarded the aircraft.

On board the aircraft, Mu Lin took off her outer coat and slipped into it, finishing in a few quick movements.

Compared to others, Mu Lin didn’t need to be fully armed. After all, her weapons included not only firearms but also silver needles and poison.

"Where to?" Mu Lin asked Jing Chen.

Jing Chen replied, "A private island about 40,000 kilometers away from our current location. It’s a private property." Initially, he couldn’t imagine that such a base would be on a private island.

A private island!

Mu Lin’s delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Who is the owner?" She hadn’t expected it to be a privately owned island with an owner. Those people were incredibly bold, practically suicidal.

"The owner is—Tang Qishan," Jing Chen said steadily, but the name he revealed left Mu Lin unable to accept it.

What!

Her pupils dilated, Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen in shock, "Say that again!"

"The owner is Master." And their father; Jing Chen repeated, "Actually, when we first found out, I was shocked too."

It was solely by chance that they came across the name Tang Qishan, thanks to Jing Youlan’s idle antics; then they began to investigate further, digging deeper.

"Really... Master?" Even now, Mu Lin often preferred to refer to Mu Jue as Master because she liked the title better; as a teacher and as a father!

But!

Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen, disbelieving; she wanted her master to be alive, but not like this, as her greatest enemy. If that was the case, all her years of steadfastness would become a joke.

Her fists clenched tightly, Mu Lin felt fear for the first time, along with anticipation and dread, all assaulting her at once.

Mu Lin struggled to remain calm.

Mu Lin had never imagined that one day the name Tang Qishan would make her feel so—afraid.

"Linlin, listen to me," Jing Chen reached out and held Mu Lin’s hand in his palm, separating her fingers one by one, and looking at the nail marks almost embedded in her palm, he held it gently, "It wasn’t Master! It wasn’t!"

Jing Chen couldn’t believe that just a name could affect Mu Lin like this; indeed, in their hearts, their Master was inviolable and sacred! If he were in her place, he wouldn’t be able to accept it either.

But!

"That island was indeed purchased in Master’s name, but the real owner is not our father." So, there was really no need to worry or be afraid! He had been just as shocked when he found out, but he couldn’t bring himself to believe it because Jing Chen was convinced in his heart that it absolutely wasn’t Mu Jue.

"The owner is the Tang Family," Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen, her eyes cold, "isn’t it the Tang Family?" From the beginning to the end, there had been only one answer in Mu Lin’s mind, an answer without any hesitation.

Who else could it be if not the Tang Family!

Jing Chen nodded, "It is; or perhaps it’s more accurate to say, we always thought that Mi Zheng was the biggest leader of the Organization, but in fact, he is not. The biggest leader is Tang Miao," which is the current Family Head of the Tang Family.

Even Jing Chen did not expect that he would be the big tiger lurking behind everything.

"It really was him!" Purchasing the island in Master’s name, then establishing an assassin organization, so that if anything did happen, all blame could be placed on her Master. Then they would simply find a scapegoat; because her Master had long severed ties with the Tang Family and currently had no relation to them.

Tang Miao! Ha! What merciless determination! That was his son! Does he even possess a human heart! Mu Lin had always thought it was Tang Qian; she had thought at most Tang Miao would just stand by and watch. However, she never imagined that despite knowing his own son was alive, he would cruelly have him killed! Then, using her Master to find his own direction, he would strive to strangle her. In the end, the Gong Family would become his sole domain, and the Tang Family would become the greatest leader of the semi-hidden aristocratic clans.

And the whole thing!

Mu Lin did not believe that all of this was merely an issue with Jian Xiao alone, it seemed the person hiding behind the scenes was, in fact, the biggest boss! His reach was indeed very long!

All of it was arranged so flawlessly!

What a pity, he probably didn’t expect that sending so many assassins would result in all their losses at her hands; whether he beat his chest in regret later!

Mu Lin sneered. She really wanted to witness such an expression on that old face.

If he hadn’t killed his own son, he would not have created the person she was today! What goes around comes around; in fact, everything was the result of his own doing.

Knowing all of this, the doubts that had originally filled Mu Lin’s heart suddenly collapsed, and everything connected together.

The Tang Family really had a huge appetite!

"When did you find out about this?" Mu Lin wondered how Jing Chen managed to uncover all this.

"A year ago," Jing Chen said, "I’ve been investigating these matters for three years, but only starting from a year ago did I begin to find the right information. I wasn’t trying to hide it from you, I just wanted to make sure everything was confirmed and arranged before telling you."

In fact, Jing Chen had always hoped that Mu Lin wouldn’t have to bear everything on her own because it was too exhausting for her, and it pained his heart.

In reality, she just needed to stay behind him and accept his protection.

Of course, Jing Chen also knew that all of this was impossible! He respected Mu Lin, and she was different from any other woman in reality. If that were the case, she would become a canary in a cage, which wasn’t the her he loved so dearly.

It wouldn’t be—Mu Lin.

So...
