Chapter 462: Chapter 324: Prevention (First Update)_1

"Mu Lin." Yinfan Mo walked up to Mu Lin, gave a polite nod to Tang Qishan who was standing near her, and then turned to Mu Lin with a casual smile, "Why are you hiding here?" She didn’t fancy hiding in the corner like Mo Qian, did she?

"I prefer tranquility." Mu Lin smiled, "Besides, don’t you think you can see more from here?" Surely, she didn’t really think she was just idly hiding here, did she?

From where Mu Lin was seated, one could virtually see the entire banquet hall. Moreover, it was quiet and undisturbed; so good. Many people were curious about Mu Lin, but they didn’t come to bother her. After all, the purpose of being here was to get acquainted with some other business leaders. Although, they were competitors.

However, just how many of them were true competitors remained to be seen.

Did they expect her to mingle with those brightly dressed people? She had no interest or hobby in doing so, she thought.

Speaking of dress code, Mu Lin wasn’t as carefully dressed as she was the last time she attended the Ya Family’s banquet. However, at least, she did put some thought into her dress.

She had on a white shirt and western-style trousers, a coat; the simplest professional attire. Her hair was neatly piled up, with a few strands of bangs left on her forehead. She looked extremely sharp and capable, just like the white-collar ladies in corporations. However, despite being a common enough attire, or even common in the hall itself, when everyone’s eyes were on Mu Lin, they couldn’t help but be amazed.

Including Mo Yinfan and Mo Qian. The moment they saw Mu Lin, their astonishment and surprise were utterly undisguised, or perhaps they did not have time to disguise it; this was indeed their first time seeing Mu Lin dressed this way, which was completely different from her usual casual style. It was stunning. Mo Yinfan’s long-settled heart seemed to ripple once again, leaving him helpless.

After a glance at Mu Lin, Mo Yinfan turned around, his gaze sweeping across the entire conference hall as he gave a slight nod.

Indeed, from this spot, one could clearly see the entire grand conference hall. As expected of Mu Lin, he thought.

Mo Yinfan just laughed without saying anything, then turned his gaze towards Tang Qishan; The Mushan Group of C Province was renowned within C Province and throughout the country. He didn’t expect them to come to a small place like Ming City, and even took the initiative to request to attend. This left Mo Yinfan somewhat inexplicably surprised.

Although Ming City was not exactly a small place, it was significantly smaller compared to the constantly developing C Province.

"President Tang, sorry for the lack of a suitable welcome." Mo Yinfan extended his hand. Unlike the casual manner he had when he was talking to Mu Lin, the impression he gave Tang Qishan now was completely official, causing Tang Qishan to raise his brows. However, he was a reasonable man and returned the gesture, offering a slight handshake, "Mo." Official expression, Tang Qishan did not give in to him.

Tang Qishan was not just the president of the Mushan Group in C Province, but also the one who held the lifeline of Mushan Group. Such an event should not have required his personal attendance, but in the end, he still came personally. As for this, Mo Yinfan really didn’t understand.

The distance between C Province and Ming City was not short.

Watching these two, Mu Lin’s beautiful eyebrows slightly raised; these two, had suddenly entered a state of faking holiness, completely different from the impressions they gave earlier. This was also the first time she saw this side of Mo Yinfan.

He was gentle and cultivated, but he carried an unignorable oppressive air. His calmness was just right.

Mu Lin discovered that since their first meeting, Mo Yinfan had never treated her in this official manner before. This realization made her slightly pleased. After all, she didn’t like this type of official interaction. She simply didn’t have the patience.

"Please take a seat." Mo Yinfan spoke, pulling a chair in front of both of them and sitting down, while Mo Qian leaned casually against the stone wall on the side, standing leisurely.

As Tang Qishan sat down, Mo Yinfan smiled, "President Tang, do you know Mu Lin?" Tang Qishan did not expect that the first question Mo Yinfan would ask him was about Mu Lin. This took him by surprise; just a moment ago, even with a visitor like him, Mo Yinfan had chosen to speak to Mu Lin first.

From the way Mo Yinfan interacted with Mu Lin just now, it was evident that the two were friends. It was unexpected that someone in Mo Yinfan’s position would genuinely treat people as friends. This kind of situation was probably rare.

Tang Qishan laughed casually, yet thoughtfully, and then turned towards Yinfan Mo, "Mu Lin and I had a minor incident at the door, so to speak, today is the first time I met Miss Mu Lin." Yet the familiar feeling was rather arouses inexplicably.

Perhaps, it was a certain aura around her that he liked; that aura of freedom.

Tang Qishan’s response left Mo Yinfan mildly surprised. They had only just met, and Tang Qishan, who seemed rather resourceful, managed to receive such a special treatment from Mu Lin? Not just any ordinary person could achieve that.

Having interacted with Mu Lin for a while now, Mo Yinfan understood her quite well. She appeared nonchalant, but in fact, she was detached.

After chatting casually for a while, Mo Yinfan got up to attend to other matters.

After Mo Yinfan left, Tang Qishan looked at Mu Lin. "I didn’t expect Mu Lin and Mo to have such a good relationship." It was as if he were sighing.

Mu Lin smiled faintly, "Not excellent, just... more of someone I am comfortable with. Mo Yinfan is a pretty good person, and he’s exceptionally good at his job." He works diligently and rigorously, accomplishing almost all kinds of tasks, both major and minor. Although he could have delegated some of the tasks to someone else, he still insists on doing them himself.

These are the minor conclusions that Mu Lin had reached previously when she was living with Mo Yinfan. Perhaps they could also be referred to as minor impressions.

In response to Mu Lin’s words, Tang Qishan nodded in agreement, "I can see that. Mo is a very responsible and capable man." How else could a young man like him occupy such a position? This Ming City is a great place, and many people are eyeing this piece of the pie. But still, it is hard to know exactly how many.

The two of them continued chatting casually. Tang Qishan was somewhat surprised that the young woman before him was a doctor.

He laughed, practicing medicine is indeed a respectable profession; saving lives, quite remarkable.

As for Tang Qishan’s judgement, Mu Lin only responded with a smile. She could only say that it’s half right at most.

As soon as Yan Zilei entered the Conference Hall, he started looking for Mu Lin. Yan Yan had told him a couple of days ago that Mu Lin would also be attending today’s entrepreneur conference. Apparently, Mo Yifeng had personally gone to the hotel to invite her. This made Yan Zilei inexplicably uneasy. Especially after what Yan Yan had said afterward, she was probably even unsure what she had brought upon herself.

Although it’s true that Mo Yinfan and Mu Lin have a very good relationship, and Mu Lin was even Mo Yinfan’s protector at one point. But that issue must have been resolved. So, why did Mo Yinfan invite Mu Lin here today, what exactly does he intend on doing?

Or is it that, something dire is expected to happen at today’s entrepreneur’s conference? Has Mo Yinfan been targetted by someone again? This could be risky.

Yan Zilei muttered to himself.

"Mu Lin." Yan Zilei walked over to Mu Lin, casually taking a seat where Mo Yinfan had been sitting before, and leaned back leisurely.

Mu Lin raised her eyebrow, looking at him lightly, "You’re here." Her gaze was calm and collected, but, "What’s with that face of yours?" This was completely different from the shy appearance Yan Yan had put on the last time she had met her.

She chuckled, "What’s wrong, did you have a falling out with Yanyan?" It shouldn’t be, Mu Lin was teasing.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Yan Zilei admitted that he couldn’t be angry at her, his inadvertent matchmaker. He felt an urge to sigh, "You’re overthinking this. Yan Yan and I are doing great." They were like glue, so lovey-dovey that he didn’t expect Yan Yan could be so proactive at times.

Somehow, Yan Zilei felt that Yan Yan’s behavior had a lot to do with Mu Lin.

Well, this was a good thing, so he decided not to hold it against her.

Thinking of Yan Yan, Yan Zilei’s expression changed. He was no longer deep and probing, crossing his legs while smiling at Mu Lin, "As I recall, this is an entrepreneur conference, why is our divine doctor Mu gracing us with her presence?"

If there was any confusion, he would rather ask directly.

Hearing this, Mu Lin laughed softly, "I’m here to protect you all." She said this in a joking manner, but Yan Zilei felt that Mu Lin wasn’t kidding at all.

"What do you mean?" Seems like something serious is about to happen.

"I received a challenge." Mu Lin stated calmly. As Tang Qishan was called away by an acquaintance, Mu Lin didn’t need to withhold anything from Yan Zilei, "Actually you shouldn’t have come today." If something were to happen to him, she wouldn’t know how to break the news to Yan Yan.

"What happened?" A challenge? Did Mu Lin mean that something’s going to occur at this venue?

"Exactly what you thought." Mu Lin stood up, her eyes calmly observing the waiters and the security staff nearby, "Tell me, how do you feel about them?"

Yan Zilei looked over, the next moment, his eyebrows furrowed, "Like hunting dogs." Alert, with their keen sense of smell, ready to relentlessly tear apart their prey once they set their sight on it, "These people must be police officers!" It was a statement, not a question. Yan Zilei looked at Mu Lin, confident, "Am I right?"

Mu Lin just smiled, without uttering a word.

"They really are police officers!" In that case, "Ever since I entered, have all the staff in this hotel been posing as police officers?" Yan Zilei’s forehead creased, he looked at Mu Lin, "Mu Lin, what happened?" This situation seemed way too grave.
