<h4>Chapter 152: Chapter 143: Hidden Motives</h4><h4></h4>


    "Boss, you’re back." Only Earth Wolf rose from the sofa to greet him.


    Lin Mu nced at Earth Wolfing up to him, then at Sophie and Qi Manlin chatting on the side. Damn, these two girls werepletely ignoring him!


    "Ahem!" Lin Mu stepped forward and cleared his throat.


    Sophie looked up at Lin Mu, smiled slightly, and said inly, "You’re back."


    Lin Mu nodded, "Yeah, I was afraid you missed me, so I rushed to your side as soon as I returned to Wancheng to see you!"


    "Lin Mu, do you think you’d die if you weren’t so narcissistic?" Qi Manlin interjected from the side.


    "Of course... not... of course, I know you miss me too, even though we always argue!" Lin Muughed.


    Qi Manlin sneered at Lin Mu, "I’ve seen shameless people, but none as shameless as you. It’s an eye-opener; since meeting you, I’ve realized how dull and boring my previous life was!"


    "Haha, you don’t need to thank me, just call me Red Scarf. Also, you can admire me, but you can’t fall in love with me, because in my heart, there’s only Feifei!"


    Saying this, Lin Mu threw a nce at President Su, and Sophie quickly lowered her head because his gaze was too sharp!


    Then Lin Mu continued to tease Qi Manlin, "And you, Police Flower, have all the thieves and robbers in Wancheng been caught? Howe you’re herezing around?"


    "Tch, who are you callingzy? Do you think everyone likes to bezy like you? What quality! Well, tomorrow there’s a racingpetition. I promised Feifei to help maintain order at the venue!" Qi Manlin disdainfully red at Lin Mu and said.


    "Lin Mu, Han Si Hai and Chen Shiwei will also be in tomorrow’s race. I’m not too worried about Chen Shiwei doing anything too extreme, but that Han Si Hai, he’s unpredictable, and you have a grudge with him. Who knows if he’ll do something against you!" Sophie reminded him.


    Lin Mu casually waved his hand, "Who fears them! Let theme all they want; flinching wouldn’t make me a hero!"


    Sophie knew Lin Mu’s character, "I know you’re strong, but it’s good to be cautious. Tomorrow, I’ll have Manlin and the police arrange for officers at the venue. If Han Si Hai tries anything rash, he’ll have to weigh his options!"


    "Are you worried about me?"


    "You can think that if you insist on being self-indulgent!" Sophie said with an indifferent expression.


    "Hmph, how could Feifei be worried about you? Keep dreaming, and after dreaming, don’t forget to look at yourself in the mirror and see what’s so charming about you?"


    Qi Manlin snorted, sarcastically taunting from the side.


    "Damn, Wild Girl, are you hitting menopause or something? I haven’t provoked you, so why are you always picking on me?" Lin Mu said, feeling a bit annoyed.


    "Hmph! Bastard!" Qi Manlin angrily and rudely said, "You haven’t provoked me, nor annoyed me, I just find you displeasing, so what?"


    "Bastard, today this granny must kill you!" Qi Manlin angrily shouted, wildly lunging towards Lin Mu.


    Lin Mu had expected this, knowing Qi Manlin would surely go berserk upon hearing this. Before Qi Manlin could react, Lin Mu had already made a hasty retreat!


    ...


    In Wancheng East District, inside the luxurious Han Family Mansion, the thin Han Gan walked into the hall grinning with yellow teeth, while inside sat the eldest young master of the Han Family, Han Si Hai.


    "Master Si, I’ve already found out the venue for this year’s racingpetition from the organizers." Han Gan bent over standing next to Han Si Hai.


    Han Si Hai took a sip from his teacup, "Where is it?"


    "On the circr mountain road of Lotus Mountain in Jin Xia’s outskirts!" Han Gan said sinisterly.


    "Good, find a good spot to make a move. Doesn’t he like ying games with me? This time I’ll just finish him off once and for all!" Han Si Hai said with a cold glint in his eyes.


    "Rest assured, Master Si, the terrain of Lotus Mountain is steep. As long as Lin Mu’s car falls off the cliff, the body will be unrecoverable!" Han Gan said, gesturing sinisterly.


    "Hahaha, no matter how good he is, he won’t escape this time. I want everyone in Wancheng to know that in this territory, only I, Master Han Si, am truly the boss. Offending me leads to a bad end!" Han Si Haiughed heartily.


    "Master Si, I’ll go handle it now; I’ll make some adjustments to his car first!"


    "Mm, go ahead, do it neatly and cleanly, no half-measures..." Han Si Hai waved his hand.


    "Don’t worry, Master Si, I’ll be on my way now!"


    Han Gan nodded and exited the hall.


    Han Si Hai sat in the hall, a sly smile appearing on his face. Once Lin Mu was dealt with, Sophie would naturally be his, and then dominating Wancheng, monopolizing all its economic arteries wouldn’t just be a dream!


    "Hahahaha, someday Wancheng will be under my sole control!" Han Si Haiughed heartily.


    Meanwhile, in another luxurious vi in Wancheng West District, Chen Shiwei, the eldest young master of the Chen Family, was sitting on a sofa smoking a thumb-sized cigar, slowly puffing out smoke!


    "Young Master, Lin Mu returned from out of town this afternoon and headed straight back to Yunhai Mansion!" Aunt Wu, the female housekeeper, stood beside Chen Shiwei and reported.


    Chen Shiwei nodded, exhaling a perfect smoke ring, "What about Han Si Hai? Any action from him?"


    Aunt Wu quickly reported, "As you foresaw, Young Master, matching your prediction, although Han Si Hai hasn’t taken specific actions these days, based on the intel we’ve arranged in the Han Family, they are indeed plotting to eliminate Lin Mu during the racingpetition!"


    "Oh? Interesting, how does Han Si Hai n to eliminate Lin Mu?" Chen Shiwei’s deep eyes flickered for a moment,


    "We have an informant tracking Han Gan, found out he tampered with the car prepared for tomorrow’s race, and that car is the one Su’s Great Enterprise used inst year’s race!" Aunt Wu replied.


    Chen Shiwei pondered for a while, thenughed, saying, "Fun, fun, this is really getting more entertaining!"
