In the slightly dilapidated guesthouse next to the Mohe high-speed railway station, Lin Yaodong was in one of the rooms, where the furnishings looked quite vintage.
He sat quietly on a slightly worn sofa, his left hand gripping his phone tightly, while his right hand held the landline receiver firmly.
At this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone. This sudden voice made Lin Yaodong momentarily at a loss.
Looking bewildered, he moved the microphone slightly away, then looked at the landline screen and quickly compared it with Lao Mo's phone number stored in his mobile phone.
"Huh? That's right?"
Lin Yaodong muttered to himself, he didn't think he was so old that he would dial the wrong number, so why did he hear a woman's voice when he answered the phone?
Could it be that... Old Mo suddenly had a stroke of genius in middle age and actually found a girlfriend? But then again, that possibility seems extremely slim!
Given Old Mo's consistent personality and style of doing things, it's hard to imagine that he would do such a thing.
Could it be that I recently showed him a movie called "This Tokyo Isn't So Hot," which tells the story of an older man who is a heartbreaker and a young girl, and it gave him a sudden epiphany?
Thinking of this, Lin Yaodong first quietly switched his phone to silent mode, temporarily cutting off contact with Mu Liuyun to prevent interference with their subsequent call.
He then took a deep breath, slowly picked up the microphone again, and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Who are you?"
The woman on the other end of the phone didn't seem surprised by Lin Yaodong's question. Instead, she responded in a gentle and somewhat affectionate tone, "Uncle Dong, don't you remember me?"
Hearing this, even though Lin Yaodong was old, he understood what was going on.
This was exactly the same sound Chu Yaqin made when Lao Mo entered the room.
Ever since Lao Mo followed the village chief into Er Ya's shop, Lin Yaodong has been using Lao Mo's cell phone to listen to every move inside.
When he heard that Chu Yaqin, Shen Lanxin, and Mu Xiaoxi had all appeared there, he immediately gave the order: Lao Mo must capture all three of them alive.
After giving the instructions, Lin Yaodong hung up the phone decisively.
In fact, according to Lin Yaodong's original plan, he intended to capture Mu Liuyun directly in this Er Ya convenience store.
However, Mu Liuyun was far too cautious, and Zhang Rui was no pushover either. He had already made arrangements in the village and had discovered Mu Liuyun's intentions and whereabouts.
As a result, Lin Yaodong had no choice but to change his strategy and take a roundabout approach first, trying to win over the three women in front of him who had close ties with Mu Liuyun.
After all, as long as they are under control, Mu Liuyun will not stand idly by.
But at this moment, the person who answered the phone was Chu Yaqin, which made Lin Yaodong suspicious: Could it be that Lao Mo had reached some kind of agreement with her?
Lin Yaodong is a businessman; he understands best what other businessmen need. A man like Mu Liuyun, who only has looks, might interest Chu Yaqin and the others for a while, but if their interests are involved, they will definitely get rid of him immediately.
Thinking of this, Lin Yaodong took a deep breath, and a tiger-like smile reappeared on his face: "So it's Xiao Yaqin. It's been so long. You still remember me? I even held you when you were little."
Classic polite words. How could Chu Tianxing possibly allow his daughter to meet this old man? Let alone let him hold her; he himself couldn't even hold her enough.
"Uncle Dong called just for this? Should I hang up?"
Hearing the mockery in Chu Yaqin's tone, Lin Yaodong frowned: "Where's Lao Mo? Let him answer the phone."
"Um... Uncle Dong, where are you? Old Mo isn't available right now, I'll take him to find you."
"Inconvenient? How is it inconvenient?"
"He... Hey, you old codger, why didn't you just tell me where you were? This old man is lying on the ground pretending to be dead, trying to scam us."
"Lie down and play dead!"
Chu Yaqin's words made Lin Yaodong's eyes widen.
Lin Yaodong knew Lao Mo's strength all too well. Now that he was no longer the head of the family, Lao Mo was the most powerful subordinate of his.
Even if he were the head of the family, the people he could command wouldn't be much more capable than Old Mo.
But now, Lao Mo, who was his right-hand man, was described by Chu Yaqin as lying on the ground pretending to be dead. What happened was self-evident.
"I wonder if you, Uncle Dong, are wearing a mask like Lao Mo? Anyway, if you dare to cause trouble for Xiao Yun, I'll tear your hood off the ground!"
Lin Yaodong was unwilling to listen any longer and hung up the phone. He sat blankly on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, his face appearing as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"Old Mo, Old Mo, I told you to bring your gun..."
...
...
"...Hello? Hello!"
Mu Liuyun shouted into the phone for a full five minutes, but the other end didn't hang up and no sound came out.
Just now, when there was still sound, he clearly heard Chu Yaqin's voice from the other end of the receiver.
At this moment, he still thought that Chu Yaqin had met with misfortune.
More importantly, according to Lin Yaodong, Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Lanxin were also captured by him.
Damn it, why did they all come here?
Is this Arctic Village some kind of tourist destination?
Although there are aurora viewing opportunities in a few days, it's not that bad.
Wang Jie and Zhang Rui, who had returned at some point, watched Mu Liuyun frantically calling "hello" into her phone, unsure of what to say.
Even knowing that the person on the other end of the phone was Lin Yaodong, the current scene still felt ridiculous.
"Hey, what's going on? Aren't you a professional bodyguard? How did you get tricked?"
Zhang Rui showed a somewhat regretful expression: "I didn't expect that Miss Chu would go to find that 'Lin Yaodong' without even taking anyone with her."
In fact, Zhang Rui had a premonition that the old man by the river was not the real person.
However, he didn't take the initiative and couldn't find out the enemy's next move. In any case, Mu Liuyun was absolutely safe under his arrangements, so he went to the riverbank.
Sure enough, upon arriving at the riverbank, they discovered that the "Old Mo" was actually a young man in disguise.
But to his surprise, Chu Yaqin went to find "Lin Yaodong" with only two girls. Wasn't this sending lambs to the slaughter?
Now things have gotten complicated; what was originally an internal matter for the Lin family has somehow dragged the eldest daughter of the Chu family into it as well.
"Xiaoyun, don't worry, he wouldn't dare to do anything to Miss Chu."
After thinking it over, looking at Mu Liuyun's anxious face, Zhang Rui still said this.
Although what he said made sense, Mu Liuyun could not be at ease because of it. After all, Mu Xiaoxi was not as high-status as Chu Yaqin and Shen Lanxin.
In essence, she was just an ordinary little girl with a bit more strength.
