Chapter 470: Chapter 328: Consider It A Promise (Second Update)_2

Ren Laifeng turned around and quickly got in touch with his insiders, asking them to thoroughly review the surveillance of the past two days. Soon, they found the person they were looking for. She sighed a breath of relief, the person was alive but in a deep sleep. Seeing Li Mei’s utterly unsuspecting face, the searchers felt truly relieved.

Things seemed to be in hand, so they quickly took her to the hospital.

"Truly, my most worthy opponent." Looking at Mu Lin, the man on the screen showed no signs of anxiety. He wasn’t even worried about his pawn falling into Mu Lin’s hands, let alone making a rescue plan. He was indeed a heartless man.

"Thanks for the compliment." However, "I suppose you have quite a few of your people in there." Mu Lin looked at the man on the screen. It wasn’t just the woman in her hands, given the fact that he had made so many arrangements to lure her here, there must be quite a few of his operatives around.

And the technology for this remote video call was quite advanced.

The man nodded, not denying it. "However, I have changed my mind now." Since that was the case, these people didn’t need to reveal their identities. After all, it wasn’t easy to plant undercover operatives, not to mention the need for time to properly establish an operative.

Since he had changed his mind, why should he waste his resources?

Mu Lin pursed her lips, remaining silent. Her icy cold eyes met the man’s sharp gaze mixed with a hint of wicked amusement, "What do you mean by that?" Stirring up all this trouble, wasting so much of her time, and then abruptly deciding to retreat- it was just too frustrating.

Mu Lin’s grip on the woman’s neck tightened slightly, causing the woman’s rosy face to go pale in an instant.

The man didn’t look at the woman but at Mu Lin, "What, is there something else you want to ask, or are you going to miss me?" His tone was callous.

"How about this, let’s make another deal." Finally, the man looked at the woman in Mu Lin’s hands who looked like she was about to pass out and proposed, "I can tell you a little secret, but in return, you must let the woman in your hands go."

"You know, training a person who is proficient in poisons is not an easy task." He paused for a while, then continued, the smile in his eyes carried an unspeakable depth, "After all, in this world, no one can match your innate intuition and sensitivity towards herbal medicine, Poison Doctor Mu Lin, isn’t it?"

Weirdly enough, listening to his words, Mu Lin felt that this man’s words had a hidden meaning; her intuition told her that he might know something about her master, or even about her own origins.

How did this man know about her innate intuition and sensitivity towards the taste of herbal medicine?

"Speak." She raised her eyebrows slightly. If this deal seemed somewhat worth it, she wouldn’t mind letting the woman in her hands go; however, the prerequisite was that the man’s little secret intrigued her.

She slightly loosened her grip, giving the woman a chance to breathe.

"I wonder if you know." The man watched Mu Lin slowly stand up. Her slender figure was straight, graceful, and fatally attractive, "Your master, Mu Jue, their actual surname was not ’Mu’." It was actually...

Not ’Mu’?

Mu Lin raised her eyebrow, "If not ’Mu’, then what?" It seemed like a casual question.

"Their surname is..." He wore a cunning grin, malicious, "If you want to know the answer, Mu Lin, I’ll be waiting for you in C Province. When the time comes, I’ll tell you everything you want to know." Of course, that would most likely be the day of her death.

Considering that he found her "pleasing to the eye", he would allow her to die as an informed person.

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen went black and the man disappeared.

C Province.

Mu Lin frowned. Was he suggesting that the main base of his damn organization was in C Province? Or that he was in C Province? She could not be bothered to guess.

Perhaps this was somewhat a substantial gain since her arrival in Ming City.

And her master... Mu Lin frowned; if not ’Mu’, then what was his real surname? What was her master’s real name? Also, why did he choose to live in seclusion with her in a place like the Black Forest?

Mu Lin felt that she couldn’t make sense of anything; this was indeed a very perplexing situation.

She glanced at the woman still in her grasp, her bitter and jealous gaze met Mu Lin’s aloof glance.

Did she just make a really bad deal?

The man didn’t seem to worry that she might go back on her word and kill this woman after learning the information she wanted.

After all, no one likes to have an enemy who’s always watching, ready to kill them at any moment, right?

She took out a small, jet black pill from nowhere and, ignoring the woman’s disbelief, fed it to her.

"You don’t keep your word?" The woman glared at Mu Lin angrily. Mu Lin tilted her lips, "Where have I gone back on my word?" She wasn’t fond of such unfounded allegations.

"You clearly promised our leader you’d let me go." But now she was poisoning her. The world was afraid of the Poison Doctor’s poisons, and she was no different.

At the woman’s words, Mu Lin seemed innocent, "Did I promise?"
