Go To Your Death Chapter 41
bymanor
Long Island, New York, a private and quiet manor,
Lin Jinyao had just finished interrogating Zhou Hongbing, and his long period of concentration made him feel exhausted.
His face was pale, and fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead. J carefully supported him and walked to the sofa in the living room.
“Boss, Zhou Hongbing… what are you going to do?” J asked in a low voice.
Lin Jin was very tired. He lay on the soft sofa, closed his eyes, rubbed his stinging xue, and said in a cold voice, “Tell K to send him to a mental hospital and find someone reliable to look after him.” He paused again and added, “Let him stay in there quietly for the rest of his life.”
The determination in these words made J’s heart tremble!
He nodded immediately, “I understand.”
J suddenly remembered Zhou Xu’an. Whether it was Lin Jinyao or Zhou Hongbing, this person was a bit special, so he cautiously asked: “What about… Mr. Zhou Xu’an? After all, legally he is also Zhou Hongbing’s biological son.”
When it came to Zhou Xu’an, Lin Jin was silent for a moment.
“If he doesn’t ask, don’t bring it up.” Lin Jinyao finally spoke, his voice softening, “If he asks… just tell the truth.”
J nodded and took note, “Yes.”
The interrogation took a lot of Lin Jin’s attention, and coupled with the gunshot wound, although he had been recovering from his injuries in the past few months, it still had some impact.
Now whenever there is a bit of wind, Lin Jinyao will feel itchy in his throat, and he can’t help coughing, “Cough…cough…”
J quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it over, with worry written all over his face: “Boss, are you okay? Do you want to call the doctor to check again?”
Lin Jin waved his hand, took the water glass and took a sip. The warm water slightly relieved the discomfort in his throat.
He raised his head and was about to say something when his eyes were fixed on the door.
No one expected that this person would suddenly appear here.
“Xuan.”
Zhou Xu’an was wearing light-colored casual clothes. Although the dark circles under his eyes looked tired, his pupils were extremely bright.
He was holding a white porcelain bowl with dark Chinese medicine in his hand. He looked at Lin Jinyao quietly with a smile on his face.
Lin Jinyao’s eyes flashed with surprise, “Why are you here?”
Zhou Xu’an should help him deal with Mu Huacheng at home at this time.
Zhou Xu’an walked up to him unhurriedly, put the medicine bowl on the coffee table in front of him, and said with a hint of familiar ridicule, “I’m here to supervise a disobedient patient to take medicine on time. Ah Yao, you are very naughty. After all, how many times have you poured it secretly?”
Lin Jin looked at J subconsciously.
J immediately shook his head like a rattle and tried his best to show with his eyes that he was definitely not the one who told the secret.
“Don’t look at him.” Zhou Xu’an chuckled, “I always have my own way.”
He was able to stay under Mu Huacheng’s nose for such a long time and appear elusive, so he had a way of doing it.
Lin Jinyao twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly. The focus of his concern was not here, “I mean, you suddenly came here, Mr. Mu…”
“Don’t worry, it’s very safe.” Zhou Xu’an said in a relaxed tone, with a sense of relief, “He removed all the people who were watching me.”
“All withdrawn?” Lin Jinyao was slightly startled, this was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Mu Huacheng had always strictly monitored the people and things related to him, so why did he suddenly withdraw at the drop of a hat?
“Yes, we’ve all withdrawn. It’s all clean.” Zhou Xu’an nodded affirmatively, walked to the single sofa next to him and sat down.
J: “Boss, let me tell you, what kind of lover is Mu Huacheng? Three months has already broken the record!”
Lin Jin didn’t answer, but frowned slightly.
J continued to add: “Boss, we checked on him more than a year ago. You also know that Mu Huacheng changes people around him faster than changing clothes. Basically, every new person who has been around him can’t last one night on average. They are absolutely daily disposable.”
Zhou Xu’an also nodded and answered with a teasing tone, “So, Ah Yao, you are the one who has stayed with Mu Huacheng the longest, which is a miracle.”
J immediately followed, and the two sang together, as if they were talking about cross talk, “Not only that, but they are also engaged.”
Zhou Xu’an: “And married.”
J: “He died in the end.”
Zhou Xu’an: “It perfectly fits the setting of [Dead White Moonlight].”
J: “It sounds like no one can replace me!”
Zhou Xu’an: “It’s a pity that it’s only three months.”
Lin Jin’s face became darker and darker as he listened to their words. He felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He simply picked up the bowl of medicine that Zhou Xu’an had brought to him on the coffee table, raised his head, held his breath, took a few sips, and drank it all in one gulp.
The strong bitter taste instantly filled his entire mouth, making him frown.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu’an quickly took out a White Rabbit toffee from his pocket, peeled off the wrapper, handed it to him, and asked him with a smile, “Is it bitter?”
Lin Jin took the toffee, held it in his mouth, sighed, and said in a depressed tone, “My life is not as miserable as mine.”
Seeing his deflated and helpless look, Zhou Xu’an and J looked at each other and finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the same time.
The depressing atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
In fact, when Zhou Xu’an saw J appearing next to Lin Jinyao for the first time, he was not without doubts in his heart.
The timing of J’s appearance was too coincidental. As soon as Lin Jin was arranged by him, he left Fan Yu and followed him all the way until Lin Jin was buried.
Such a capable, know-it-all, know-it-all person follows Lin Jin without exception.
But he did not ask further questions. When Lin Jin woke up, he simply introduced that J was his partner when he commissioned the investigation of Mu Huacheng and Fan Yu and was trustworthy.
Later, Zhou Xu’an confirmed to J that the mysterious number Lin Jin wanted to call before, and it turned out to be him.
At this point, Zhou Xu’an stopped asking any more questions.
He understood that he and Lin Jinyao both had secrets and trump cards that could not be told.
In order to trace the real cause of his sister Zhou Xubai’s death, didn’t he also plant many unknown informants?
This is perfectly normal.
In the following days, Lin Jin will mainly rest in the manor.
The gunshot wound he suffered during his previous escape plan by feigning death nearly injured his lungs. After that, he spent a lot of energy cooperating with Mu Huacheng from a distance to suppress Samuel’s power, which led to mental exhaustion and inability to do his job.
After finally getting better physically, he managed to interrogate Zhou Hongbing again.
Lin Jin wanted to inform Zhou Xu’an in detail about Samuel’s conspiracy and the important information that Zhou Xubai’s mother Bai Ting was once one of the scientific researchers controlled by Samuel.
After Zhou Xu’an listened, a strong uneasiness arose in his heart, “Ayao, if you want to crush Samuel’s core scientific research team, you may still be able to find a breakthrough, but his experimental bases are scattered everywhere… We have no clue. Samuel is so cunning, where will he hide his base?”
Lin Jin frowned. This was the biggest problem he was facing at the moment. “This is also what I am most worried about. Samuel is extremely cautious. He keeps important scientific researchers under his nose, but the bases of those high-risk experiments are like sinking into the sea, without any clues.”
Zhou Xu’an pondered, “According to this old fox’s habit, these bases that are not visible to the public are likely to be hidden on some unknown and unnamed island, concealed with the help of natural barriers.”
“Yes,” Lin Jinyao sighed, “If this is the case, then finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time. What we lack most is time.”
Once Samuel senses danger, he is likely to jump over the wall, destroy evidence or even harm imprisoned people.
J, who had been listening quietly, now made a suggestion, “Boss, in fact, Mr. Mu’s private maritime fleet is very powerful. Perhaps we can seek his help? His connections and resources are much more efficient than ours in finding specific targets on the high seas.”
Mentioning Mu Huacheng, Lin Jinyao fell into silence again.
At this point, he didn’t know how to face Mu Huacheng. The feeling of guilt and guilt filled his heart, and even… there was a hint of cowardice.
Zhou Xu’an and J exchanged a look, and both saw his struggle.
After a long while, Zhou Xu’an cautiously asked, “Ah Yao, why don’t you… find a chance to admit your mistake to Mr. Mu? Explain the matter clearly?”
J also quickly helped, “Yes, boss, in that situation, in order to completely divert Samuel’s attention and make him relax his vigilance, Mr. Zhou had no choice but to arrange the fake death. After all, even without Samuel’s intervention, our original plan was to let the golden cicada escape… Although there were some deviations in the middle process, the final result is consistent with the general direction we expected!”
Why doesn’t Lin Jin understand these truths?
All the plans, including getting close to Mu Huacheng, including the final withdrawal, were made after careful consideration a year ago.
However, understanding it intellectually is one thing, but facing it emotionally is another.
He could almost foresee that if he appeared in front of Mu Huacheng again, he would not dare to think about the consequences. He might be greeted by only two words: finished!
Lin Jin lowered his head and said in a low voice that was almost inaudible, “Uh… I, I’ll think about it again.”
Another week passed peacefully.
With Zhou Xu’an monitoring and taking medicine, Lin Jinyao’s physical condition improved significantly, his cough symptoms were relieved a lot, and his face began to regain some rosiness.
The wound healed well and the suture removal process went very smoothly, leaving only a light pink scar.
The improvement of his health seems to have given him a little courage to face reality.
That evening, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the living room through the window screen.
Lin Jin wanted to look at Zhou Xu’an, who was checking his wounds, and asked softly, intentionally or unintentionally, in an extremely casual tone, “What is he… Mr. Mu… doing in the country recently?”
When Zhou Xu’an and J heard this, they immediately looked at each other, and both saw the signal of “something going on” in each other’s eyes.
J was particularly attentive on the side, “Boss, let me help you ask.”
After saying that, he immediately walked aside and contacted domestic informants through encrypted communication to ask them to check on Mu Huacheng’s current situation.
The wait for a reply was not long. An hour later, the encrypted message was sent back to J’s device.
The content is short and the wording is direct:
“Mr. Mu has recently been in frequent contact with a new and popular actor, and has visited the crew several times in person. Relevant news has been spread on a small scale on the Internet, and the direction of public opinion is ambiguous.”
J relayed the information truthfully and tried to be as calm as possible.
However, when Lin Jin was about to finish listening, he was stunned for a moment, and then a dangerous smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. That smile was mixed with disbelief, absurdity, and uncontrollable jealousy.
How long ago did he “die”?
The bones are not yet cold, although there are no bones.
The man who once held him and told him that he loved him couldn’t help but look for a new love?
Or an actor?
Okay, really good!
An unknown fire suddenly rushed into his heart. He almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sneer from between his teeth, “Well done! Mr. Mu… That’s really well done!”
