The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 226 - 217: Lin Mu’s Idea

"Since that’s the case, I’ll leave the rest to you. That’s all I can help you with," Sophie said with a smile to Lin Mu.

"Haha, no problem, I’ll handle the rest," Lin Mu replied with a grin.

"But you still need to be cautious. Zheng Haonan isn’t a minor figure; he’s not easy to deal with. To have a place in Wancheng’s underground world, he must have some skills," Sophie reminded.

"Alright, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!"

Lin Mu nodded, took out his phone, and called Qi Manlin. Since he had information on Zheng Haonan, it was natural to inform Qi Manlin. It seemed Qi Manlin had been quite concerned about this matter, as the whole situation was due to him.

"How’s it going? Any news?" Qi Manlin asked eagerly as soon as the call connected.

"Do you even know who I am? You can trust me with anything; I handle everything beautifully. Let me tell you, there’s already a lead on Zheng Haonan," Lin Mu boasted over the phone.

Watching Lin Mu speak, Sophie couldn’t help but roll her eyes, her gaze filled with disdain. Facing Sophie’s contempt, Lin Mu returned a pure yet ambiguous smile.

"Stop blabbering, you’re impressive enough. Now where is Zheng Haonan hiding?" Qi Manlin impatiently asked.

"He has a hideout in Bali Village, but I’m not sure of the exact household," Lin Mu replied.

"Alright, I’ll dispatch officers immediately to search. This time, he won’t get away," Qi Manlin said over the phone.

"You see, girl, your impatience shows. It’s broad daylight; searching house by house isn’t ideal and might alert him. And given Zheng Haonan’s profile, who knows if he’s armed? With crowds around, any forceful move will have significant implications. I suggest acting at night," Lin Mu analyzed.

Considering Lin Mu’s words, Qi Manlin acknowledged he was right. If Zheng Haonan escaped and took hostages in daylight, it would be troublesome. Nighttime, when there are fewer people, is the best time to act.

"Hmm, then meet me at Humen Bridge now. I’ll be waiting for you there to discuss capturing Zheng Haonan!" Qi Manlin said.

"Alright, I’ll head over now." Lin Mu nodded and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Lin Mu greeted Sophie, went down to the first floor to fetch his Bugatti Vides, and drove out of Yunhai Mansion towards Humen Bridge.

In about ten minutes, the car arrived at Humen Bridge. Lin Mu got out of the car, spotted police cars parked by the roadside not far away, and walked over.

"Hey, officer chick," Lin Mu greeted with a smile.

"Lucky you figured things out. If you hadn’t found Zheng Haonan, I’d skin you alive!"

Qi Manlin glanced at Lin Mu, recalling the kiss she gave him last night. It was the first time she voluntarily kissed a man, and she somehow felt cheated!

"Hehe, you can trust me, girl. I couldn’t let down that heartfelt kiss you gave me!" Lin Mu teased with a grin.

Qi Manlin shot Lin Mu a look, "Are you coming or not? If not, I’ll leave first!"

With that said, her car sped forward, and Lin Mu quickly hopped into his Bugatti Vides, "Wild Girl, wait for me..."

Qi Manlin drove straight ahead, reaching Bali Village’s entrance after a twenty-minute drive.

Bali Village counts as a relatively developed new rural area, highly urbanized with two main streets. Located near a school, the main street is lined with various inns and hostels, and the population is quite transient.

Qi Manlin didn’t drive her car into the village but parked on the big road before the entrance, as a police car entering the village would be very noticeable and could alert Zheng Haonan.

Lin Mu and Qi Manlin walked into the village together. With over three hundred households, searching each one wasn’t practical.

Besides, lazybones like Lin Mu wouldn’t search house by house. Lazy people have their ways. Lin Mu approached a villager and inquired about the village official’s residence. He bought two packs of good cigarettes and a few bottles of fine liquor from a nearby shop; with such incentives, the official would surely cooperate.

Seeing Lin Mu’s sly smile, Qi Manlin snorted disdainfully and followed Lin Mu to the official’s house. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Hello, you must be Director Chen of Bali Village?"

The gate of the courtyard opened, and Lin Mu greeted the man with an innocent smile. Director Chen nodded and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Oh, we’re from the Wancheng Police Station. My name is Lin, and this is Officer Qi of ours."

Lin Mu smiled and signaled to Qi Manlin, who nodded with a smile and showed her credentials to Director Chen, "Don’t worry, we’re mainly here to inquire about some information, nothing serious."

"Oh, please come in." Director Chen offered them a spot.

Lin Mu carried the items and walked in with Qi Manlin, following Director Chen into the living room.

"Director Chen, I brought you a little something; I hope you won’t mind," Lin Mu said, sitting on the sofa and placing the purchased goods on the coffee table.

Director Chen glanced at the fine cigarettes and liquor on the table, puzzled, "What’s up with these police officers? Bringing stuff while investigating, really bizarre!"

"Officers, what do you need? I’ll help in any way I can."

"Actually, Director Chen, it’s not a big deal. We’re here to investigate, and we need to know approximately how many non-resident households there are in the village," Lin Mu asked naturally with a smile.

"Not many, roughly twenty to thirty households," Director Chen thought for a moment.

"Could you please tell us the house numbers of these households?" Lin Mu said with a smile.

Since they were police officers, the village committee naturally had a duty to cooperate. Moreover, bringing cigarettes and liquor, even if they weren’t officers, any person inquiring should be assisted. It wasn’t a hard task, and there was no reason to refuse!

"No problem, I have the records here. Please wait a moment, I’ll get them!"

Director Chen nodded, took several documents from the cabinet, opened them for a check, and took out a sheet to record the house numbers for Lin Mu.

"Here, Officer Lin, these are the house numbers for the non-resident households in Bali Village," Director Chen handed the recorded numbers to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu took the sheet, glanced at it, and smiled, "Director Chen, thank you for your cooperation."

"Officer Lin, you’re welcome. Helping you is like helping myself. If there’s anything you need in the future, feel free to ask!" Director Chen responded with a smile.

"That’s it for now. We have things to do, so we’ll take our leave." Lin Mu said, getting up and shaking hands with Director Chen, then leaving his residence.
