Chapter 917: Chapter 602: Mutual (Second Update)

"What do you want to do?" Yu Xiongman looked at Mu Lin with wary eyes.

Mu Lin: "Didn’t I just say that an eye for an eye is only fair? Whatever you planned to do to me before, I will of course do the same today." Her thoughts were always the easiest to guess.

The smile in her eyes and the indifferent tone of her voice sounded like a death-dealing sword to the listener. Watching Mu Lin, Yu Xiongman felt his hairs stand on end almost in unison.

Amidst the piercingly cold stares from Ying Sun’s men, she suddenly gave a slight smile, walked over to where Mu Lin was sitting, and looked at her, "So you are Divine Doctor Mu." The expression on the face was one of unfamiliarity and delight, as if they were meeting for the first time.

Oh right, speaking of which, this was indeed their "first meeting," as Mu Lin had just mentioned.

"I’ve long admired your reputation." Yu Xiongman watched Mu Lin with a beaming smile, hiding the chill in his eyes quite well.

"The feeling is mutual." They say people like them are best at putting on a facade, and it seemed true; however, Mu Lin suggested she was not bad at these games herself.

Although she was more accustomed to dealing with soldiers or patients, facing such a person could sometimes be quite interesting, right?

"Divine Doctor Mu, although you belong to the Jing family, sneaking into a private residence in the middle of the night with so many people is not a good look when it gets out," he said, his gaze probing and even involving the Jing family in his speech. "But I am quite reasonable. If you leave now, I won’t make a big deal out of it."

He was clearly using the Jing family to threaten Mu Lin, but unfortunately, who was Mu Lin to be threatened so easily?

Mu Lin chuckled lightly, her indifferent eyes now twinkled with humor as she stared at him firmly, "How could you be so sure that I’m trespassing today, and how do you know that the people behind me are definitely from the Jing family? Couldn’t it be someone else?" After all, there were more than just the Jing family behind her.

After a slight pause, Mu Lin continued, "Or perhaps, you are actually aware of it all, but just choose not to say it." After all, pretending ignorance and playing coy were their favorite things to study and their favorite tactics in daily dealings.

Pretending, even if it’s all fake, was never boring to them.

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Yu Xiongman’s smile instantly stiffened on his face. "Divine Doctor Mu really has a way with jokes." He chuckled, as a cover for his just-exhibited embarrassment.

Unfortunately, Mu Lin had no intention of sparing his dignity.

"As everyone knows, I, Mu Lin, never joke around." What’s so interesting about making jokes? Therefore, she was sure he understood her point.

But understanding and pretending not to are two different matters.

Listening to Mu Lin, Ying Sun’s men couldn’t help but glance at each other; why did they remember their sister-in-law as someone who did joke around?

Although mostly it was the kind of jokes that were chilling to the bone.

Those who had been scared more than three times, please raise your hands.

Hands shot up in unison, ten in total, including two from outside the door who were watching Earth Wolf.

His expression stiffened, Yu Xiongman had never seen anyone like Mu Lin, who played her cards so unpredictably.

"Mu Lin." The next moment, it seemed that the other party was not willing to keep beating around the bush with her. If it weren’t for the certain pictures she had in her hands, and possibly some other small pieces of evidence, he wouldn’t even bother with her. Even if she had Jing Chen and the entire Jing family behind her, was his own standing so inferior? They had powerful support, but wasn’t he also backed by powerful people?

To Yu Xiongman, the so-called evidence in her hands was like child’s play.

"Don’t push your luck. Don’t think that just because you have pictures of me, you can threaten me; breaking into my home at night is illegal, and I have the right to call the police on you."

"As you wish." Mu Lin’s body leaned back leisurely. After all, whether or not the police were called was a trivial matter for her.

After all, the one who would be embarrassed wasn’t her; but "So this is your home?" She remembered that this house was not registered in his name, and, "Isn’t your home in downtown? Maybe I’m just out of the loop."

Watching Mu Lin, Yu Xiongman clenched his teeth.

The next moment, with an indifferent lift of her eyes and a quirk of her lips, Mu Lin looked at him with a mockingly cheerful expression, "I almost forgot to mention one more thing: I’m especially pleased with my own face, so... you can keep the face you’re offering to yourself."

With a jesting yet icy tone, her voice became progressively colder, carrying endless chill.

Then she slowly stood up, "Let’s not beat around the bush. So I hope you won’t talk in circles or get bureaucratic in front of me, to avoid wasting time."

"What exactly do you want?" Yu Xiongman watched Mu Lin, his expression now calm but with a hint of a fierce chill, apparently ready to engage in a more straightforward exchange with Mu Lin.

"I’ve already said what I wanted from the beginning." Mu Lin turned to look at him, "But now, I’d like you to listen to a conversation first." The following discussion could wait until after he had heard this.

After speaking, she once again sat back leisurely.

"What do I gain from this?" The initial tone was somewhat indifferent and inquisitive.

"What would you like to gain?"

"Doesn’t this voice sound familiar?" Mu Lin propped up her chin, looking at him calmly. Yu Xiongman did not speak, but his eyebrows knitted tightly.

The recording continued.

"Don’t forget, the person you want me to hit is protected by the Jing family of B City, supposedly the wife of Mr. Jing himself. I’m risking my own life and the entire organization is gambling with you. Without equivalent benefits, sorry, I’m not prepared to take this deal." They didn’t have the capability to provoke Mr. Jing.

"As long as you take care of Mu Lin, that troublesome woman, I will let you become the second SkyNet in China. You need not worry about Jing Chen and the Jing family at all." It’s just a woman.

"Are you joking?" Earth Wolf’s voice was slightly challenging.

"Heh heh heh... No, I’m telling you the truth, as long as you obey." Here he paused briefly, "If I could support the first SkyNet, I could support the second one as well."

"If you have SkyNet, why come to us, such a... small organization?" After all, the opponent was the Poison Doctor, and SkyNet was rife with undercover agents.

"Because he’s stopped obeying." He snorted coldly, "The recent assassination missions haven’t been completed." Just thinking about it made him burn with rage, causing his voice to rise unconsciously.

"If even SkyNet’s people can’t complete the task, how could we possibly do it? Don’t forget, aside from the Jing family, Mu Lin is also the legendary Poison Doctor." Earth Wolf reminded, "So I’m not prepared to take on this mission."

Yu Xiongman: "But in the end, she’s just a woman."

Hearing this, the people of Ying Sun raised their eyebrows.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a bold one, to look down on women, especially those as fierce as their sister-in-law.

She can make you suffer a miserable death in minutes, OK!

"Have you thought it through?" The voice became somewhat colder.

Earth Wolf fell silent for a while, then continued, "Why not go to your SkyNet people? No matter what, they are stronger than our small organization, so why bother with us, the people who trade our lives for safety?"

Another silence. Earth Wolf suddenly laughed, "It couldn’t be that you’ve been rejected." From the other party’s tone just now, he had his suspicions.

Looks like that’s all there is to it.

Hearing this remark, Yu Xiongman snorted coldly.

Earth Wolf: "It looks like I guessed right." His voice carried a hint of pondering.

"Enough idle talk. Do you agree or not?"

"I need to think carefully about this question; after all..." In reality, it was just their way of saying they were trying to get out of it.

"If you don’t agree, I can find someone else, but whether you can continue to mix in the underworld of B City or not is a question you might need to worry about."

"You’re threatening me." The voice became cool.

"No, I’m just persuading you to agree willingly, there’s no threat." His words carried a trace of amusement. "If you cooperate with me, I believe it will only be beneficial to you; I will get what I want, and you will no longer let anyone bully you. I can help you eliminate all the enemies standing in your way, how about that?" The voice was seductive.

However, "Is there really... no downside? Have you forgotten, the woman you want to deal with now has the last name Jing." Only a few people knew about Mu Lin’s real family, so Earth Wolf was unaware.

"As I said, as long as I’m here, the Jing family wouldn’t dare touch you; and you, you’ve only got one choice." That was the option he provided.

"Then, a pleasant cooperation." He slowly curved his lips upwards.

"A pleasant cooperation!" Since there was only one choice, he could only make that one solitary choice; such was the sadness of their existence.

...

"A pleasant cooperation." Mu Lin’s lips curved lightly, "Yu, you surely wouldn’t forget the voices and the conversation here, would you?"

"Of course, there’s a part before this conversation I think we don’t need to waste time playing for you to hear. If you wish to meet, I can arrange for you two to meet in person." After all, the person was already waiting outside the door.

"So Divine Doctor Mu came to seek revenge on me for this conversation, which may or may not be real?" Without answering, Yu Xiongman frowned at Mu Lin and counter-asked.

Lifting the corner of her lips, Mu Lin said nothing.

But to seek vengeance against him, he really thought highly of himself.

"He really thinks highly of himself." A snorting voice came from the side, thick with disdain.

Yu Xiongman: "What do you mean by that?" So they looked down on him, did they?

People of Ying Sun: It seems our disdain wasn’t clear enough, well then—our bad! A terrible mistake!
