Chapter 579: Chapter 389 Linlin, I miss you (Third update)_1

"So, can we discuss a potential collaboration?" A slight smile played across his lips, a look of complacency decorating his face as he locked eyes unblinkingly with Director Xu before him.

"Of course, we can." The attitude shifted immediately once he was recognized as a friend.

Collaboration was without question.

Revealing his identity rather led to a swift agreement. This was quite significant.

"What clues have you found about the organization?" Mu Lin looked at the director, asking the question directly.

Director Xu shook his head, not hiding anything this time, "Since we were ordered to investigate this organization, we have been working for quite some time. Apart from receiving one report after another, and witnessing one death after another, we have found almost no clues." It felt like they were talking in circles.

Hearing this, Mu Lin felt he got the short end of the stick with this collaboration. The other side had no clues to offer him at all.

"However," he paused for a moment before continuing, "we did find some clues, which are still under scrutiny." They had suspects, but...it was only suspicion.

"Well, then wait until you’ve finished scrutinizing to tell me." Mu Lin spoke coolly, "It seems like I have more clues than you do." Disappointment was painted across his face, causing a pang of embarrassment for Director Xu.

Mu Lin was right, He had already had contact with them, while they hadn’t, only able to learn about any developments when a report was made, incapable of taking any action. Just like today, if it wasn’t for Mu Lin himself, they’d probably find another dead body.

This sense of helplessness was starting to feel never-ending.

Director Xu looked at Mu Lin, "Do you have any clues to share with us, Dr. Mu?" This time, Mu Lin was expected to cooperate with them, even though their answer hadn’t satisfied him.

"Actually," Mu Lin leaned back slightly, the corner of his mouth turning up in a slight smile, "Your biggest clue would be to keep a close watch on me."

"What do you mean?" A bit puzzled, he tried to decipher what Mu Lin meant by keeping a watch on him.

Mu Lin cast a glance at the one who asked this question, his expression dared the other to call him a fool. Yet the other, looking at Mu Lin, seemed at a loss for a response.

Mu Lin turned to Director Xu, saying, "Have you all forgotten what I just said? From the moment I stepped into C Province yesterday, their people had been following me. Yesterday’s probing, today’s assassination, don’t you think they are watching me too closely?" Did he really need to explain it further?

Mu Lin began to question their intelligence.

Which is to say.

"If we keep an eye on you and everything around you, we could naturally keep an eye on those people."

"You’re saying, that’s the point." Director Xu looked at Mu Lin cordially.

If they secretly follow Mu Lin, then when the opponents strike again, they could immediately track down the culprits. At that time...

Mu Lin nodded, a strange glint in his eyes, "After all, they seem to value my life quite a lot." Affectionate, they wouldn’t give it up under any circumstances.

All in all, Mu Lin was genuinely impressed by their persistence.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Director Xu and another person exchanged a glance without asking any more questions.

It seemed that there was some unknown grudge between Mu Lin and the organization; but these weren’t things they could ask about right now, lest they ask things they shouldn’t.

Having spent considerable time in the interrogation room, it had begun to darken outside when Mu Lin finally left the police station; the curtain of nightfall seemed to descend particularly early in winter.

"Mu Lin, you’re out finally." A magnetic voice, hoarse yet pleasant to the ear, rang by Mu Lin’s ear. Mu Lin looked up, and Mi Zheng’s figure appeared before her, a smirk on his face, looking contented.

Mi Zheng hadn’t imagined that he would learn her name from her own mouth in a police station, of all places.

Today was his first time supplying clues in such a place. Truthfully, he didn’t want to relive the experience.
