465: Chapter 465: Sinister and Sly!
Inside the restaurant.
No matter how soft the music was, it could not ease the strange atmosphere at the table.
Neither of them had expected to encounter each other in this foreign land.
Mu En sat across from Wu Jie, leaning against the sofa with a playful smile.
He still hadn’t taken off his mask, and his eyes kept darting around, as if he feared being watched.
After finishing his meal, Wu Jie picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and grinned:
“At first glance, I almost didn’t recognize you, but now that I take a good look, tsk tsk, you’ve lost a lot of weight!”
“It must be tough, hiding and scurrying around overseas!”
Mu En chuckled lightly, responding indifferently:
“What do you mean ‘hiding and scurrying’?
I’m merely traveling abroad!”
“Is that so?” Wu Jie laughed.
“Then why don’t you take off your mask and hat and walk around boldly, instead of skulking around like that?”
Skulking?
Mu En snorted with laughter: “You always have such a sharp tongue.
How I dress and walk is my own business!
You said you were looking for me for something?
Out with it, what’s the matter?”
At this point, Mu En’s bodyguard personally brought him a meal set.
He watched over the whole process with vigilant eyes, as if he feared the food might be poisoned.
“You two can take a break too, don’t be so on edge, it will attract attention!”
Mu En waved his hand, and the two bodyguards took their seats.
However, they were very strategic about where they sat, one positioned to guard against Wu Jie, the other facing the entrance.
Just from this seating choice alone, it was clear they were no ordinary bodyguards, and certainly didn’t come cheap.
Wu Jie withdrew his gaze, looking at Mu En with a smile.
“The way you scammed Liuli City’s Xu Family was spectacular, truly splendid.
Nine lives, huh!
Quite impressive!”
Mu En laughed and took off his mask.
In an instant!
Wu Jie frowned.
The damn Mu En had gotten plastic surgery!
Apart from those sharp, discerning eyes, he looked completely different everywhere else.
His eyelids had been done, nose reshaped, chin fattened up…
If it weren’t for someone familiar with him, who could guess he was Mu En?
However…
After the surgery, there were still some places where the stitches hadn’t been removed, and ointment was still applied.
It looked as though his face was coated with a layer of yellow wax.
Noticing Wu Jie’s astonished gaze, Mu En laughed again.
“If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t have gotten plastic surgery!”
“I once thought about taking care of you too, but then I thought better of it.
Each time I cross paths with you, I just seem to get unlucky, that’s all, nothing worth a life-and-death vendetta!”
“As for Liuli City’s Xu Family…
they got what they deserved!
Their wives, lovers, children being dragged into it didn’t quench my thirst for revenge.
The person I really want to get rid of is him, Xu Feng!”
Wu Jie smirked: “But he wants to get rid of you too!
He’s offering a bounty of a hundred million Gold Coins!”
“Isn’t it two hundred million now?”
Mu En said with self-deprecating laughter:
“No wonder you’ve been so glorified and renowned lately, how would you have time to care about these trivial matters?
Liuli City’s Xu Family doubled the bounty on the death warrant for my head.
It’s not strange that you don’t know!”
Two hundred million Gold Coins!
Just for Mu En’s head!
Tsk tsk!
All of a sudden, Wu Jie felt that Mu En was incredibly badass!
More valuable than a top-tier athlete.
“Tsk tsk!
How does it feel to walk around with a head worth two hundred million Gold Coins?
Aren’t you afraid that someone close to you might suddenly chop it off with a knife and hand it over to Xu Feng for two hundred million Gold Coins?”
Wu Jie teasingly asked with a smirk.
“If they really did that, they’d be truly stupid!” Mu En shook his head and sneered:
“Who doesn’t know the infamy of Liuli City’s Xu Family?
They’re notorious for breaking promises and betraying trust!”
“If you have the skills, go ahead and kill me.
Even if you brought my head to Xu Feng, do you believe he’d give you a single penny?
I’d already be dead, why would they bother paying for it?”
“The huge bounty is just a stunt, designed to attract dimwits who deliver free labor, allowing them to reap the benefits without lifting a finger!”
Wu Jie’s brow furrowed slightly.
It made sense!
Who, living on the edge and working as a hitman, wasn’t shrewd?
When taking a contract, hitmen consider not only the difficulty of eliminating the target but also the credibility of the client.
Take Xu Changshan…
His reputation is quite good, which is why the ‘Evil Group’ once took a contract to assassinate Wu Jie for him.
As for Liuli City’s Xu Family…
Cheating, monopolizing, and rampant bullying…
his reputation was seriously terrible.
And this perfectly explained why Mu En had still managed to stay alive until now.
“If that’s the case, why are you sneaking around like a guilty soul, so afraid of being recognized?”
Mu En snorted coldly, “Nonsense!
Even if I’m not worried about the Xu Family from Liuli City, I still have to be wary of the cops!
I’m freaking carrying nine lives on my back, do you think I can swagger around like you?”
“I’m just on a freaking stopover in the middle of returning to the country, and you call that swaggering?
Knowing that you’re wanted for murder, you still dare to stroll around here!”
“That’s my situation too!
Just finished dealing in Europe, planning to fly back to Southeast Asia, but I still have to stop here to refuel!”
Southeast Asia?
Wu Jie’s eyebrows raised.
It suddenly reminded him of Tang Xiao, who had once suffered greatly at the hands of others.
“You swindled so much money from the Xu Family in Liuli City and after escaping the country, instead of finding a place to enjoy the easy life, you’re still freaking doing business?”
Wu Jie asked in some astonishment.
Mu En raised his head and rolled his eyes.
“I’m not alone, am I?
Fleeing with a whole bunch of brothers and their families, we can’t just sit around until we have nothing left!
We still have to stick to our trade to make a living!”
Wu Jie asked with a smile, “Going to Southeast Asia…
so are you planning to work with Kun Qianxi?”
Mu En suddenly froze.
“Shit!
How do you know that?
Could it be that the domestic authorities have already set their sights on me?”
Wu Jie sneered playfully, thinking to himself that he was the one who needed to keep a close watch on you!
Only…
Mu En wasn’t like those non-mainstream types, the ones who liked to wear earrings and dress flamboyantly.
He wore a Rolex on his wrist and hung a crucifix pendant around his neck.
From the system mall, where should he place the tracker to avoid detection?
Pocket of the clothes?
Under the insole of the shoe?
They are not only easy to notice but would also be lost as soon as he changed clothes, wouldn’t they?
After much thought, the only option was to have him ingest it.
Delicate and tiny, almost as small as a grain of rice, the tracker needed to be supplemented with two or three more to be effective.
To prevent malfunction and ensure it sends out a location.
“Hey?
Are you going to speak or not?
What’s the latest on me back in China?”
Mu En asked, somewhat eager.
Wu Jie suddenly snapped back to reality,
“How the hell would I know?
You’re the one who said you’re going to Southeast Asia to continue with your line of work; who else can you collaborate with if not Kun Qianxi?”
Mu En’s brow furrowed slightly as he picked up his cup and gulped down several mouthfuls of juice.
“Really no news about me?”
“Does being on the wanted list count?” Wu Jie countered.
Mu En gave a snort of laughter and belched contentedly.
After eating for a while longer, he put down his fork, Mu En took a napkin and wiped his mouth.
“Kun Qianxi is quite cunning; if we can’t agree on terms this month, I might as well go to Indonesia to set up my own shop and slowly build up my territory!”
“You’re really living the good life!
Now globally famous, you’ve won a beauty, and countless envious nerds see you as a model of a stunning reversal.
Truly a big winner in life!”
Having said that, he tossed the napkin aside, Mu En put on his mask and stood up immediately.
“Every time I used to run into you, something bad would happen; I hope this time is different!
I’m off, but one day, I’ll make a comeback!”
With that tough talk, Mu En left with his bodyguards.
Just then, Tang Xiao hurried back.
She had expected Wu Jie and Mu En to come to blows, but nothing seemed to have happened at all!
“President Tang, long time no see, you’ve become even gentler and more beautiful!”
Mu En chuckled lightly, then strode away.
Tang Xiao paused for half a second, frowning as she watched Mu En and his party walk away, then quickly walked up to Wu Jie.
“You two didn’t start fighting?”
Wu Jie smiled and said, “Because of you, he indeed didn’t like me much and even called me a jinx, saying I always brought him bad luck.
But we don’t have any life-or-death grudges, so why would we come to blows?”
“Besides, this guy, after fleeing the country, is still pursuing his old trade, trying to collaborate with the very drug lord you want to take down, Kun Qianxi!”
Tang Xiao’s eyes lit up in an instant.
“That’s a great opportunity!
Kun Qianxi is particularly cunning and difficult to deal with.
Forget about taking him out, up to now, not even his appearance has been captured on camera, much less getting hold of his precise whereabouts and lair!”
Wu Jie glanced outside, where Mu En and his party had long since walked away.
“Knowing you want to take down Kun Qianxi, so…”
Wu Jie took out his phone and launched the surveillance app.
On the electronic map interface, a clear red dot flashed every few seconds.
Tang Xiao was thrilled and immediately turned to plant a firm kiss on Wu Jie.
Then she quickly took out her phone, ready to call in reinforcements.
Seeing a chance for revenge, she must launch a decisive attack to settle the score…
