Chapter 349: Chapter 254: The Rage of Red Scorpion (First Update)_1

I guess the news really does travel fast.

Looking at the car that was almost swarmed by reporters again, Mo Qian turned to look at Mu Lin, "Did you do something earth-shattering last night?" she asked. The speed at which these reporters get news is a bit too fast, getting a scoop so early in the morning.

"What’s it got to do with us?" The matter from last night.

"There should be some correlation," Mu Lin replied.

Mo Qian raised her eyebrows, "Should be?" What kind of reply was that? Was she suggesting that she didn’t even know if she had done something wrong last night? In Mo Qian’s eyes, Mu Lin was the kind of person who did bad deeds without leaving a trace.

"I really don’t know what specifically happened last night, but it was just a fireworks show," Mu Lin said as if she knew what Mo Qian was pondering, "When I got there, everything was already over." She also appeared helpless.

Watching Mu Lin’s careless demeanor, Mo Qian was suddenly struck with an urge to throttle her.

"Is it related to this assassination?" Mo Yinfan asked, looking at Mu Lin.

Mu Lin nodded, "Last night, a hideout of that organization in our Ming City was taken down by Jing Chen."

So, that’s what the fireworks were about.

"You guys blew up their hideout." Mo Yinfan raised an eyebrow slightly, his face was still calm as usual. However, he could understand why Jing Chen chose to do this, and admired the guts it took to do so. If it were him... huh, who knows. The thing is, unless faced with the situation, one never really knows how they’ll react. After all, an ’if’ remains just that, an event that never happened and probably wouldn’t ever happen.

Enough thinking about it for now.

Mu Lin nodded, "I think the reporters will come to ask you today, probably have heard some rumors; Jing Chen mentioned that some of the evidence they obtained would be handed over to Ren Laifeng."

It seems that Mu Lin was getting more and more fluent in mentioning Jing Chen’s name.

"I understand." Mo Yinfan nodded. Someone from the side had already opened the door to help them get out of the car, with Mu Lin following behind.

As soon as they got out of the car, reporters swarmed them again, but were once again stopped by the SWAT team.

"Mr. Mo, do you know about the incident where the ’haunted house’ in the eastern suburbs was bombed early this morning?" a reporter took advantage of the lull to ask.

Mo Yinfan laughed lightly and shook his head, retorting, "Do I look like someone who would know?"

The reporters eyed each other, indeed, they had also heard the news in the middle of the night, first went there to take pictures. The place was in chaos last night, and they only managed to glean a small bit of gossip. Only after stalking the police station early today did they come here, just half an hour later than the opening hours of the city government. Otherwise, they would’ve had a hard time finding anyone.

In any case, as long as they could sniff out a bit of news, it was worth it.

"We just came from the police station, and the people there said that some evidence seems to have been found in the ’haunted house’ that was bombed last night, apparently relating to your assassination attempt." Although this was suggested, the truth was... this was purely their speculation. They had seen bodies, dismembered by the explosion, being carried out from the rubble last night, and had also heard about the discovery of firearms and ammunition. From this, it could be inferred that those people were definitely part of a terrorist organization. Who could be targeting Mo Yinfan was not something they could wildly guess.

This morning, coupled with the ambiguous statement from director Ren Laifeng of the police station.

Reporters really are very clever, even relying on their own conjectures, they can knit together a comprehensive op-ed from tiny details, making it look even more authentic than the truth.

In fact, Ren Laifeng just casually mentioned in response to their questions that he had some slight evidence and needed further investigation, then spiked into a discussion.

Ever since last time, Mo Yinfan’s case had become the headline of Ming City, an issue that the entire city was concerned about. Mo Yinfan’s reputation stood high, and although there were people who rejoiced in his misfortune, most people didn’t hope for an incident to happen to this civic-minded man. Who knew what would happen to the next one in his stead.

There seemed to be some motive behind all this.

Looking at the reporter in front of him, Mo Yinfan continued to smile slightly, "I really don’t know about this matter. After all, as you said earlier, it happened last night. Once the truth is found out, the police station will provide me with an explanation." For now, as the principal person involved, there were certain things better left unsaid.
