Chapter 123: Menstrual Irregularity!
"Hahaha, are you trying to scare me?" Liu Hong’s expression turned cold. "Kid, do you really think I’m that easily intimidated?"
"I’m merely stating a fact," Lin Mu replied indifferently.
Liu Hong snorted. "I refuse to believe such nonsense. Go on, search him!"
Two security guards stepped forward, ready to act.
"Wait." At that moment, Su Ke’er emerged from her office. Seeing the crowd, she frowned. "Don’t you all have work to do? Get back to it!"
Her authority in the company was comparable to the president’s, so everyone was quite afraid of her. Despite the tempting spectacle, they didn’t dare linger and quietly dispersed.
However, everyone was still sneaking glances over, curious if the man was truly a spy.
Su Ke’er paid them no mind. She looked at Lin Mu and said, "I’m giving you one last chance. Answer me honestly. What are you really here for?"
Su Ke’er gazed into Lin Mu’s eyes, finding them as deep as the sea and as black as an inky abyss. They were like a black hole, threatening to suck in her very soul.
Suddenly, Su Ke’er’s heart skipped a beat, and she hastily averted her gaze. In that instant, she felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless chasm surrounded by darkness. The feeling terrified her, breaking her out in a cold sweat.
Noticing Su Ke’er’s pale complexion, Liu Hong immediately asked with concern, "President Su, are you all right?"
"I’m fine," Su Ke’er replied irritably. She composed herself and looked at Lin Mu. "Answer me."
Lin Mu’s eyes flickered. "I’ve already told you."
"You..." Su Ke’er’s expression faltered. She couldn’t believe Lin Mu was still being so stubborn.
"Since you’re unwilling to talk, I won’t force you."
As soon as Su Ke’er finished, Liu Hong said anxiously, "President Su, is that really a good idea?"
Su Ke’er retorted, "What’s wrong with it? Do you really want to search him? That would be a violation of his privacy!"
Liu Hong wanted to argue, but Su Ke’er cut him off. "Call the police. Let them investigate. If he’s innocent, we will apologize and compensate him as necessary."
Su Ke’er glared at Lin Mu. "But if he really did come to Boheng Pharma to cause trouble, I, Su Ke’er, will be the first one to make him pay!"
With Su Ke’er having made her decision, Liu Hong had no choice but to comply, however grudgingly.
Fine, let the police come, Liu Hong thought. He was certain Lin Mu was here to steal something. He would call his contacts at the station and make sure they gave this kid a warm welcome.
Liu Hong immediately pulled out his phone and made a call. After hanging up, he shot Lin Mu a cold, sinister smile. "Kid, you’re in for a world of hurt."
"Am I?" Lin Mu wasn’t worried. He casually found a stool and sat down. The two security guards watched him like hawks, afraid he might try to run.
With Lin Mu sitting there so nonchalantly, flanked by the two solemn-faced guards, they looked more like his bodyguards. It was Liu Hong who ended up looking out of place.
A flicker of doubt crossed Su Ke’er’s mind. Could he actually be telling the truth?
Impossible!
Before her uncle went abroad, he had told her that he’d made arrangements for the company and that someone would contact her. However, he never once mentioned that Boheng Pharma had been sold. In truth, Su Weihai wasn’t so much taking his son abroad for treatment as he was immigrating. After Ning Xian acquired Boheng Pharma, Su Weihai received a huge sum of money. Without even telling Su Ke’er, he bought a plane ticket and left that very night.
Thus, even now, Su Ke’er was still completely in the dark. That’s why she didn’t believe a single word Lin Mu had said.
With this in mind, she took two steps forward, stood before Lin Mu, and said coldly, "You’d better tell me the truth before the police get here. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you!"
Lin Mu smiled faintly. "I appreciate the kind thought, but it’s not necessary."
"You..." Su Ke’er nearly exploded with anger. She was trying to be kind and warn him, but he was completely ungrateful.
How outrageous!
Growing up, she, Su Ke’er, had always been the one to reject others. She had never been turned down like this, especially not by a man.
As a result, her expression grew even colder. The chill she emitted was so intense that Liu Hong subconsciously swallowed. The two security guards even took a discreet step back. President Su’s aura is just too frosty.
Lin Mu, however, just looked up at Su Ke’er in surprise, his brow furrowed slightly.
"What are you looking at? Be careful, or I’ll gouge your eyes out!" Su Ke’er snapped, glaring at him while making a scooping motion toward her own eyes.
Lin Mu pursed his lips and ignored the woman, who was not long for this world anyway.
"Kid, what’s that supposed to mean? Are you disrespecting President Su?" Liu Hong, who had been watching Lin Mu closely, seized the opportunity.
Lin Mu said flatly, "It means nothing. I just find it amusing when someone who’s about to die remains blissfully unaware, putting on a proud and aloof act. Who is it for?"
He was, of course, talking about Su Ke’er. Even the two guards understood that.
"You little punk, I’ll kill you!" Liu Hong looked as if he’d been provoked. He rolled up his sleeves and yelled, "Hold him down! I’ll teach him that even a worm will turn!"
Just as Liu Hong was about to lunge, Su Ke’er said, "Wait."
She stared at Lin Mu. "What did you mean by that? Explain yourself!"
"President Su, you can’t possibly believe his nonsense, can you?" Liu Hong pleaded. "He’s just cursing you! Step aside and let me deal with him!"
"You shut up!" Su Ke’er snapped, her face an icy mask as she stared at Lin Mu. Her voice was tinged with desperation. "Hurry up and explain!"
At this point, Su Ke’er looked like she was on the verge of tears, her eyes turning red.
Lin Mu glanced at her and said calmly, "If you don’t control your emotions, your heart fire will rage unchecked and damage your spirit. When that happens, not even the gods will be able to save you."
"What?" Su Ke’er’s face turned deathly pale, and her body began to tremble.
Lin Mu sighed. "You suffer from a cold womb, and your Heavenly Water is irregular, correct?"
His words struck Su Ke’er like a bolt of lightning. She stared at him, her beautiful eyes wide with utter disbelief. Her reaction was all the proof needed that Lin Mu was right.
One of the younger security guards whispered to his colleague, "Uncle Niu, what’s ’Heavenly Water’?"
The older security guard replied with a grim expression, "It’s a woman’s monthly cycle."
At these words, not only was the younger guard shocked, but Liu Hong also stood there stunned, looking as if he’d been struck by lightning.
Su Ke’er’s face flushed crimson, and her eyes looked ready to shoot fire. She grabbed Lin Mu’s arm. "You’re coming with me!"
Before anyone could react, Su Ke’er dragged Lin Mu straight into her office. With a loud BANG, she slammed the door shut.
The onlookers stared at each other, their mouths agape, wearing expressions of pure shock.
What on earth is President Su going to do?
