Chapter 305: Chapter 229: The Mission is Here (Third Update)_2

This duty must be the only reason he could appear here; after all, delivering a task could just require a phone call or even a message.

Oh well, he is the boss, after all!

"What task?" Looking at Jing Chen, Mu Lin seemed to be considering something, "Is it killing or saving someone? If it’s killing, I might be more interested." After all, it’s been a long time since she cleansed her soul with the fresh blood.

"Neither killing nor saving someone." Jing Chen didn’t react particularly to Mu Lin’s words, for he understood her well, "Someone needs protection." He just didn’t know whether Mu Lin would want to help, as it might be a hassle for her.

"Whose protection?" Mu Lin raised her eyebrows, not dismissing the idea right away. After all, she had no strong feelings about protecting someone, but she was willing to hear it out.

"The Mayor of Ming City, Mo Yinfan." Jing Chen said, "He’s a young talent. We received information that some professionals have been hired to kill him, though we don’t know why." To be frank, Jing Chen hoped that Mu Lin would decline because Mo Yinfan was so exceptional.

Mo Yinfan, male, thirty years old, single! He had taken up his position in Ming City just six months ago and had an excellent reputation both internally and externally. More importantly, Mo Yinfan had topped the list of eligible bachelors in Ming City within such a short period. Seeing this, a sense of danger was inevitably attracted to Jing Chen.

Even though he had great faith in Mu Lin’s emotional quotient.

"Professionals? You mean assassins?" At this moment, Mu Lin’s eyebrows knitted together. She didn’t care much about the ’young talent’ part, being more interested in the so-called ’professionals’.

"Yes." Jing Chen nodded slightly, "I just received the task myself. I hear they’re all experts." Mo Yinfan originally had bodyguards, but after a previous assassination attempt, I heard that only one of them is still by his side. This person is Mo Yinfan’s own man, presumably very skillful, otherwise, Mo Yinfan would’ve been dead and gone. Most importantly, "I heard the other side has a poison expert." This was the main reason he had to find Mu Lin. Otherwise, Jing Chen would never let Mu Lin protect a man alone.

"A poison expert." Mu Lin raised her brows with some interest, "This might be really intriguing." Poison, she was curious about how proficient the so-called poison expert really was.

Maybe they could have a good competition.

Finally.

"I’ll take the task." After a brief silence, Mu Lin’s voice echoed in Jing Chen’s ear once again. No matter if it was for the professional or the poison expert, she knew she will accept this task. Perhaps it would be quite interesting.

"How long do I need to protect him?" This was important for Mu Lin, who was always busy, and she needed a time limit.

"Seven days." Jing Chen replied. He gave the official task to Mu Lin, and the rest was up to them. But Jing Chen didn’t feel the need to go into details. There were some things he knew Mu Lin didn’t need to know or even have the interest to know.

"Okay." Mu Lin nodded. Just seven days then,

just when her task finishes; her poison clinic might be ready too. She could just play a game with this man for these seven days. Besides, perhaps the enemy is the person she was looking for.

She just hoped everything was so coincidental that it could end sooner.

With her eyes downcast, Mu Lin seemed to have forgotten something suddenly. She turned and looked at Jing Chen, "When does the task start?"

Jing Chen: "Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow." Mu Lin thought, "There might be time issues."

"What issues?" Jing Chen asked.

"I have a patient. I have to spend a bit of time on his treatment every day, and there are still three days left." If she was going to protect others, then this would be a problem. After all, she couldn’t require the city’s Mayor to follow her to a businessman’s home every day. If she did that, she might scare people off.

"That shouldn’t be a problem." However, Jing Chen assured, "The main concerns are diet... and the evening. That’s when those people are most likely to strike." He had a feeling he won’t like the evenings much.

"I see." Mu Lin nodded. That’s good then.

At this moment, Mu Lin might have forgotten that she’s actually supposed to be a military doctor. Why is the duty of protecting people assigned to her?

Never mind. What matters is that she... is interested in the task.

...

As time passed slowly, it was already late by the time Mu Lin returned home. Once the business was taken care of, poor Qiaozi was left behind without hesitation, under the excuse that it wasn’t convenient.

Lord Jing believed that the following time would belong to him and his Linlin exclusively.

Unfortunately, fate didn’t seem to want him to have his way so easily.

When the elevator doors slowly opened, a handsome figure appeared in front of Mu Lin without any hesitation. Looking at her, the man’s lips curved with elegance, "Mu Lin."
