Jinge looked at Da Xiong sitting in the car ahead, his fingers crackling with tension, eager to rush over and eliminate the three of them. For someone of Jinge's high status in the underworld, a disciple's betrayal was a blatant slap in the face—totally unacceptable!

But Jinge knew now was not the time for impulsive action, as armed police maintaining order were stationed every fifty meters along the street. Striking now was clearly not an option, so he resentfully said, "If these bastards ever fall into my hands, I'll skin them alive!"

Several prized disciples raised since childhood had betrayed the sect, infuriating Jinge to the point of nearly coughing up blood. Luo the Mute could only offer bitter advice, "Alright, Brother Jin, we can deal with them later, but now's not the time. Lin Mu's got a lot of people and quite a few talents, not to mention the police are tough to handle. Let's go!"

Luo the Mute pulled Jinge back while talking, and Jinge nodded, then turned and walked out of the crowd!

The Fourth Junior Brother was buried by around four o'clock in the afternoon. The cemetery was probably the best in all of Wancheng, with burial plots priced even higher than real estate. Alas, in today's society, dying is truly unaffordable! After holding a grand funeral, the matter of the Fourth Junior Brother was settled, and today's scene caused a sensation in East City!

Returning home in the evening, the famous Zhou Xun prepared a lavish dinner. Unfortunately, Wild Girl Qi Manlin wasn't able to join because she was caught up with work at the police station. Since becoming the Chief, the responsibilities on Qi Manlin's shoulders had grown heavier, with early starts and late finishes every day—her work schedule was truly exhausting.

"Brother Lin, are you free tomorrow?" Zhou Xun asked, looking at Lin Mu.

"Haha! I am, what's up?" Lin Mu asked.

"Well, it's not a big deal. I have a press conference tomorrow and wanted to invite you to come with me!"

For Zhou Xun, attending a press conference is a milestone of success, so naturally, Zhou Xun wanted to share this milestone with Lin Mu, bringing them closer at heart.

"Haha, a press conference. I must go; I love excitement!" Lin Mu grinned.

"That's wonderful, Brother Lin!" Zhou Xun leaped up joyfully, wrapped her arms around Lin Mu's neck, and planted a kiss on his cheek with a "mwah."

"Girl, how about here too, one more! Good things come in pairs!" Lin Mu pointed to his left cheek.

"No way, you wish! I won't give another!" Zhou Xun pouted and waved her hand.

"Won't give? Haha! If you don't, I'll give you one!" Lin Mu, shameless as ever, moved in to kiss Zhou Xun's face.

Zhou Xun dodged, and seeing this, Lin Mu reached out and caught Zhou Xun's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace!

"Haha! Girl, don't think you can escape from my grasp!" Lin Mu said, as his mischievous hands began to roam, making Zhou Xun blush bright red.

Early the next morning, Lin Mu dressed up and put on a brand new Lomon Suit, while Zhou Xun looked pure and charming in a white dress, like an angel descending from the heavens. Their outfits drew attention, like a perfectly matched golden couple.

"Haha! Big star, you're really beautiful today!" Lin Mu said, watching Zhou Xun come down from upstairs.

"Brother Lin, you look great too today!" Zhou Xun giggled in response.

"Haha, being handsome is great. Look, no matter what I wear, I have my own style, right?"

"Oh, you're so conceited! Okay, let's go, it's getting late. President Ren and the others are already waiting at the Xingyu Hotel!" Zhou Xun said.

"Okay," Lin Mu nodded and left the house with Zhou Xun.

Lin Mu drove quickly to the Xingyu Hotel, where a crowd was already gathered, with several security guards maintaining order. It was clear that Zhou Xun was gaining some fame, having a fair number of fans!

The press conference started at nine, and it was only around eight, so Zhou Xun needed to arrive early; otherwise, it would be difficult to get inside as more people gathered. There were already quite a few!

After parking the car, Lin Mu turned to Zhou Xun, "Haha! Girl, you've got quite a few fans now, judging by the excitement, we might have trouble getting in later!"

"Wait a bit, I've notified security, and they'll come soon. We'll go into the hotel together then!" Zhou Xun replied.

"Okay," Lin Mu nodded, lit a cigarette in the car, and took a seat.

Leaning back in his seat, Lin Mu exhaled smoke, watching the crowd at the hotel entrance and the people continuing to converge. It was clear they were all coming to Zhou Xun's press conference. Suddenly, Lin Mu spotted a familiar figure in the crowd!

"Huh?" Lin Mu exhaled a puff of smoke, taking a closer look. Sure enough, it was Right Army, who had previously ambushed him. This guy really had sharp information! They had just promised to come over last night, and he showed up this morning—truly impressive! This guy's thieving heart isn't dead! He must still be carrying out his assassination plan against Lin Mu. Last time they escaped by luck; Lin Mu wouldn't let them escape again.

Since Right Army was here, the sniper Left Army must be lurking nearby, intending to use a sniper rifle in this situation. In a city like this, the best spot for a sniper to hide would be a rooftop!

The chance to use a sniper rifle to kill would most likely be during the press conference or when people were leaving in confusion afterward. Lin Mu, a skilled shooter, deduced based on experience that Left Army was definitely lying in wait on a rooftop across from the hotel.

Lin Mu glanced out through the car window, seeing a plaza in front of the hotel, then a road, and across the road, several buildings under construction. Lin Mu's vision couldn't spot anyone on the rooftops unless he had binoculars, which would make it clear!

But even if he couldn't see Left Army, it didn't matter to Lin Mu because he had tampered with the sniper rifle. If Left Army tried to shoot Lin Mu, he'd be the first to die!

However, Lin Mu hadn't figured out the mastermind behind the event, so he didn't want Left Army dead just yet. Of course, tampering with the rifle was just a precaution. If they could capture him alive, they would; if not, they'd eliminate him to ensure Lin Mu's safety, which was most important.

Sitting in the car, Lin Mu called Earth Wolf, giving him brief instructions to take some people to search the building across from Xingyu Hotel, capturing anyone alive if possible. As long as Lin Mu didn't show himself, Left Army wouldn't fire first; without shooting, he couldn't die!
