Chapter 1087: Chapter 730: Mu Lin’s EQ (Second Update) _2

Even though this is his territory, the apprehension toward Mu Lin and Jing Chen still forces Tang Miao to tread carefully.

Neither of these two are easy to provoke.

A slight ripple stirred within the calm depths of his eyes.

This temptation was considerable for Mi Zheng!

Like her?

Mu Lin’s gaze came to rest on Mi Zheng; was he joking?

Moving slightly, Jing Chen subtly positioned Mu Lin behind himself, his expression turning chillier, "That is indeed a very attractive offer, but what if the person in front of you is not your benefactor, but your enemy?"

Tear...

No sooner had the word "enemy" left his lips than he felt a twist at his waist, and turning his head, Mu Lin’s frosty eyes fixed on Jing Chen’s profile, "What have you been hiding from me and doing again?"

Mu Lin realized that Jing Chen had been concealing quite a few things from her recently, and this wasn’t the first time. It seemed she had been too quick to forgive him earlier.

"I never plan on letting you know about things related to a romantic rival," Jing Chen said with stark honesty, so much so that Mu Lin was taken aback.

A romantic rival! What romantic rival!

Mu Lin: ...Where is this romantic rival?

Jing Chen’s lips curled up faintly as he lowered his head slightly towards Mu Lin, "I’ve always been grateful that your EQ isn’t too high." Perhaps it could be said that Mu Lin’s EQ was almost in the negative— the only reason it wasn’t was that she had, after all, responded to his feelings, so it wasn’t negative.

Thinking back, it truly was a bit of a close call! But fortunately, he had finally won his wife over in the end.

Mu Lin was speechless, unsure whether this was an insult or a compliment.

And Tang Miao, who had stood up suddenly after Jing Chen’s words, "What do you mean by that, trying to sow discord?" Sadly, no one paid him any attention.

Today, Tang Miao truly felt full of irritation; in his life, he had never allowed anyone to get under his skin like this.

Mi Zheng’s eyes swept over Mu Lin and Jing Chen, then settled firmly on Jing Chen, "Explain yourself to me!" He wanted to know Jing Chen’s answer.

All along, although he didn’t like Tang Miao one bit, Mi Zheng had always shown him respect since Tang Miao had saved his life and even trained him to his current position. Moreover, even though much of the Organization’s power lay in his hands, there were things even he couldn’t do as he pleased.

In fact, nobody knew that after Mi Zheng removed Mu Lin from the assassination list and Tang Miao found out, they had a huge argument. As a result, Tang Miao was locked in a dark room for three days as a punishment.

The dark room was not a place for humans—it was where assassins on the island were confined when they misbehaved in training or performed poorly. Inside there was complete isolation, no sound, no temperature, only endless darkness; the people in there were gradually trained to become instruments of murder used by them, tools to make money.

Over these three years, Mi Zheng was continuously in training because Tang Miao felt he wasn’t strong enough, since he had lost to Mu Lin and Jing Chen again and again, both overtly and covertly, so much so that he began to doubt if it was intentional. So... another reason was that Tang Miao had noticed the subtle feelings that Mi Zheng had for Mu Lin and wanted to train him to be colder and harder-hearted to ensure he wouldn’t become the second Tang Qishan.

For a woman, he was willing to give up everything, even thinking of biting back at him.

He had to prevent such a thing from happening at all costs, cut off all ties; after all, Mi Zheng was the piece he had trained for so long.

After investing so much effort, how could he allow his piece to be easily destroyed!

Unfortunately, Tang Miao, who was always self-centered, didn’t realize that if Mi Zheng’s original feelings for Mu Lin were about possession, the three years of isolation had actually made him understand that his feelings for Mu Lin were different— they were not just about possession and desire to monopolize.

Three years later, Mi Zheng did not want to stand opposed to Mu Lin, but he was forced to do so, over and over!

In reality, both Mu Lin and Jing Chen had some inklings that Mi Zheng’s three gifts were mere child’s play, too simplistic for them; his abilities were certainly greater than that.

Then, when he heard different voices from Jing Chen’s mouth, he couldn’t help but want to hear the truth from Jing Chen’s words.

Jing Chen gave a cursory glance at Tang Miao, who was behind Mi Zheng, "I advise you not to think about fighting us. If we two have come here alone, unarmed, do you think we would come unprepared?"

They were not fools!

"If you order an attack from your side, then my men won’t be polite to you either." Jing Chen’s indifferent lips curved up, "Compared to you, I believe our weapons are much more... advanced!"

How could the military’s weapons possibly be inferior, not to mention that Ying Sun was a special forces unit within the special forces!

This time, Jing Chen had the elder’s permission to call the shots, no limits!

What was this? It was practically the complete authorization of peacekeeping to Jing Chen and Mu Lin, and they, of course, had to live up to the elder’s trust in them.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

Mu Lin stated that such embarrassing undertakings were not exactly her favorite kind of activity.
