Chapter 429: Exploring Haiyuan Tiancheng!
"You..."
Gao Xing was infuriated by Lin Mu’s tone. "Lin Mu, you may be President Qin’s husband, but this is a hospital!"
Lin Mu let go of Qin Luoli’s hand, stood up, and walked toward Gao Xing.
"What do you want?" Gao Xing’s complexion paled, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
"What do I want?" Lin Mu’s voice was like a winter gale, devoid of any emotion. "Don’t you have any idea what you’ve done?"
"What do you mean?" Gao Xing raged. "Do you think President Qin ended up like this because of me? Lin Mu, let me tell you the truth, you aren’t worthy of President Qin!"
"Whether I’m worthy or not isn’t for you to decide," Lin Mu said flatly. "But you dared to make a move on my woman. For that, I can’t let you go."
The words had barely left his mouth when Lin Mu seized one of Gao Xing’s hands and dislocated his arm with a sharp tug.
"ARGH!" Gao Xing shrieked, his face twisting in agony.
"Lin Mu, you..." Lu Jia and the others gasped, shocked that Lin Mu would dislocate one of Gao Xing’s arms at the slightest disagreement.
"Mr. Lin, what are you doing?" Gu Qing’s expression changed. She rushed to support Gao Xing, her face dark as she glared at Lin Mu.
"Breaking one of your arms is just a small lesson to teach you a much bigger one." Lin Mu glanced at Gao Xing dispassionately. "Remember this: don’t touch my woman again. You can’t afford the consequences."
"Ah, I’ll kill you!" Gao Xing had already adjusted to the searing pain, but his face was a mask of venomous hatred. "You broke my arm... I won’t let you get away with this!"
Faced with Gao Xing’s threat, Lin Mu gave a cold laugh. "Is that so? We’ll see if you’re capable."
"You..." Faced with such an unreasonable man, Gao Xing was filled with indignation and helplessness. "Fine, just you wait!"
After saying this, Gao Xing slammed the door and stormed out in a fury.
"Manager Gao!" Gu Qing hurriedly chased after him, but he was already long gone.
Lin Mu, I’ll kill you! I swear it! Gao Xing’s face was a ferocious snarl, his eyes glinting with murderous intent.
Pulling out his phone, he sent a text: "Let’s meet."
Pocketing his phone, Gao Xing strode out of the hospital.

In the ward, Sun Tianyang regarded Qin Luoli with a grave expression. "Young Master Mu, Miss Qin’s condition isn’t looking good."
His medical skills were extraordinary, so he could naturally see that Qin Luoli’s situation was quite dangerous.
Lin Mu nodded. "It’s a little troublesome."
"Hmm?" Sun Tianyang was taken aback. "Young Master Mu, Miss Qin’s pulse is unstable, and she’s unconscious. This suggests she experienced some kind of severe shock. If we don’t treat her immediately, she’ll be in grave danger."
But Lin Mu suddenly said, "Sun Tianyang, I need you to do something for me right now."
Sun Tianyang replied respectfully, "Young Master Mu, please give me your orders!"
Lin Mu nodded, his lips moving faintly. Sun Tianyang’s expression shifted as he stared at Lin Mu in horror. Lin Mu hadn’t opened his mouth, yet his voice echoed in Sun Tianyang’s ears.
Such an ability... It’s practically divine!
However, this wasn’t the first time Sun Tianyang had witnessed Lin Mu’s astounding methods, so he managed to remain composed.
When Lin Mu finished, Sun Tianyang cupped his fist respectfully. "I will go at once."

After Sun Tianyang left, Lu Jia spoke, her voice trembling, "Lin Mu, could Luo Li’s condition be related to Haiyuan Tiancheng? I’ve told you before, that place is a haunted building where all sorts of supernatural events occur."
Lin Mu said, "There aren’t that many ghosts and gods in this world. Don’t frighten yourself."
"I’m telling the truth! Didn’t Luo Li’s secretary say so? Haiyuan Tiancheng is Luo Li’s property now, and she had this accident during an inspection tour," Lu Jia said, her face pale with terror and worry.
Lin Mu ignored Lu Jia. Instead, he looked at the unconscious Qin Luoli and whispered, "Sleep now. Get some good rest. When you wake up, everything will be alright."
As he spoke, he infused some mana into Qin Luoli’s body, helping her to sleep more peacefully.
"Hey, are you even listening to me? You have to do something to save Luo Li, or she’ll be in real danger!" Lu Jia grew angry when she saw Lin Mu ignoring her.
"Relax. As long as I’m here, Luo Li will be fine," Lin Mu said nonchalantly.
"You... You’re infuriating!" Lu Jia stomped her foot forcefully and stormed out of the ward.
Holding Qin Luoli’s hand, Lin Mu’s lips suddenly curled into a cold smile.
Haiyuan Tiancheng? I’ll have to see for myself if the place is really as frightening as the rumors claim.
「Dusk fell.」
Gu Qing returned once to say that there was too much to handle at the company. She asked Lin Mu to look after Qin Luoli at the hospital before leaving again. Lin Mu naturally had no objections, but not long after Gu Qing left, he also got up and walked out of the ward.
Lu Jia was sulking in her car when she saw Lin Mu leave the hospital, and her curiosity was piqued. Where is that guy going? Luo Li is unconscious, so why isn’t he staying by her side? Where is he going all by himself?
Her pupils shrank, a look of shock on her face. He’s not... trying to shirk his responsibility, is he?
She then saw Lin Mu try to hail a taxi, but the driver seemed unwilling to take him. Three taxis in a row refused him. Seemingly out of options, Lin Mu found an unlicensed cab. The driver only agreed to take him after he apparently offered a handsome payment.
Lu Jia’s curiosity grew. What on earth is he up to? Where is he going? Who is he meeting?
After a moment’s hesitation, curiosity got the better of her. Lu Jia started the car and quietly followed behind.
Half an hour later, she saw Lin Mu’s car leave the center of Jiangling City and head toward the suburbs, continuing ever onward.
Lu Jia’s expression finally changed. That’s Haiyuan Tiancheng up ahead!
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, she saw Lin Mu get out at the entrance of Haiyuan Tiancheng. The unlicensed cab driver made a slick U-turn and sped away as if lingering a moment longer would bring some terrible misfortune.
Lu Jia’s heart began to pound, and she started to regret following him.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Lin Mu walk into Haiyuan Tiancheng. Her expression changed, and without a second thought, she jumped out of her car and followed him.
Haiyuan Tiancheng was an incredibly famous property development in Jiangling. It wasn’t far from the city center, and its unique location and beautiful surroundings made it a top choice for wealthy homebuyers. The Haiyuan Tiancheng project centered around high-end villas.
However, since the beginning of its construction, people had died there frequently. Every person who took charge of the project either died suddenly at home or suffered a variety of accidents, their deaths bizarre and their corpses gruesome.
Now, Haiyuan Tiancheng had been abandoned for several years, with no one daring to take over. Otherwise, who would willingly give up such a massive development?
As Lin Mu walked into Haiyuan Tiancheng, he raised an eyebrow.
The resentment in this place is so thick...
A cold glint flickered in his pupils as he surveyed one of the buildings. His eyes narrowed. It seems the problem is coming from over there.
