The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 228 - 219: Eating Gracefully

"Damn it, whatever, believe it or not. If you don’t want to listen, I don’t feel like talking either. If you want to search, just go look around the streets. Let’s see when you’ll find him!" Lin Mu crossed his arms and leaned back against the chair.

"Hmph, I’ll trust you this time. If you dare deceive me, I’ll skin you alive!"

Qi Manlin said as she stopped at a roadside breakfast shop. Actually, Qi Manlin was a bit hungry too, and aimlessly searching like this was just a waste of time. It was better to hear Lin Mu’s thoughts, this guy was cunning; he might actually have a good idea.

After getting out of the car, Lin Mu hurriedly went into the shop and ordered two large bowls of eight-treasure porridge, three trays of pork buns, and four dough sticks, placing them all in front of himself. Then he devoured them as if he hadn’t eaten for hundreds of years, like a whirlwind!

Qi Manlin sat across from Lin Mu, occasionally glancing at him. He was a complete foodie with no image to maintain. Uh, even sitting opposite him made Qi Manlin feel embarrassed for him. This brute could eat to his heart’s content for all she cared!

Qi Manlin only drank a cup of soybean milk because it was good for beauty. As for the pork buns, she definitely wouldn’t dare touch them, as eating too much would affect her slim figure!

Qi Manlin took a small sip of her soybean milk and looked at Lin Mu, "Come on, tell me your good plan to find Zheng Haonan?"

With his mouth full of oil and a big bite of bun stuffing, Lin Mu swallowed hard, then licked the grease off his fingers,

"Isn’t it obvious..."

Seeing the glutton’s disgusting appearance, Qi Manlin quickly yelled at him, "Swallow it before you speak... I can’t stand it..."

Lin Mu hurriedly wiped his greasy hands on his clothes, a gesture that made Qi Manlin nauseous. No wonder he always said he was from Africa! Yeah, look at that dark face, this guy must be an African refugee!

Lin Mu gulped down the buns and porridge, smiled awkwardly, "It’s simple. Zheng Haonan is definitely hiding now. He’s not that easy to find. Think about it, where’s it easier to hide people?"

"Isn’t that obvious? If I could think of it, why would I come to you!" Qi Manlin waved her hand, angrily glaring at Lin Mu.

"Hehe, let me tell you, there aren’t many hiding places. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the city, the police have neighborhood patrols, and staying at a hotel requires real-name registration. They definitely won’t stay there, meaning they don’t have a safe place in the city. There’s only one place left. You get what I mean, right?" Lin Mu looked at Qi Manlin with a faint smile.

"Where?" Qi Manlin was a bit confused, "Can you stop beating around the bush and just say it?"

"Damn, you really are pretty but not smart. Besides the city, there’s only the countryside left. The police usually don’t check the countryside, and given what Zheng Haonan is, he has many hiding places. I estimate they’re hiding in the countryside."

Qi Manlin nodded, feeling that Lin Mu made sense. In Wancheng, police cars appear on the streets from time to time, and every major intersection is monitored. Zheng Haonan isn’t a fool; he wouldn’t hide under the police’s noses!

"Hmm, you’ve got a point. Let’s not waste time; let’s go search the countryside!" Qi Manlin was growing impatient.

"Why the rush? The countryside is more dispersed than the city and vast in area. At this rate, you’ll be searching until the end of time! Plus, Zheng Haonan’s a skittish character; if he spots the police, he’ll surely run."

"What do you suggest then?" Qi Manlin frowned and asked.

"How about this: send a notice now, telling all village officials to watch for unfamiliar faces. Zheng Haonan is quite burly and noticeable. But definitely, don’t alert them. Simultaneously, have the city police expand their search to the countryside. That way, you’ll get results!" Lin Mu said.

"Alright, no time to lose. Let’s go." Qi Manlin stood up and said.

"Damn, I’m not finished eating yet."

Lin Mu picked up another pork bun with both hands, talking to himself, "Hmm, finally there’s something more tempting than the little policewoman in my mind!"

"Who?"

Although Qi Manlin and Lin Mu had nothing particularly intimate between them, she still cared about this sentence because it related to her allure as a beautiful woman, at least in the eyes of a man.

"It’s this!" Lin Mu pointed at the pork bun in his hand, "Haha, my beloved pork bun beauty..."

Qi Manlin was speechless. "Uh, you foodie, you look like a bun, so it’s no wonder you think about eating buns all day... oh well, once we find Zheng Haonan, I’ll treat you to a big meal, something upscale. Stop obsessing over buns! And don’t forget, I’m in such a hurry to find Zheng Haonan, isn’t it to clean up after you?" Qi Manlin glared at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu chuckled. The little policewoman might act tough, but secretly she’s pretty nice, always wanting to help him solve the case!

Thinking this, Lin Mu felt a tinge of gratitude. Someone so lovely was helping him while he nonchalantly watched from the sidelines. His attitude was somewhat shameful, right?

But Lin Mu had one advantage, and that was his thick skin—even extraordinarily so! Thus, feelings of shame couldn’t possibly break through Lin Mu’s threshold!

"You go on. This is a police matter, after all. I’ll head to Yunhai Mansion to discuss with President Feifei if there are better ways. I’m not targeting you, but relying on your bunch of junior cops isn’t effective! Don’t waste time. I’ll call you if I have any good news!" Lin Mu waved and said.

"Hmph, who says the police aren’t effective..." Qi Manlin fumed, her chest heaving, which Lin Mu found amusing. "Well, it’s true Feifei has more manpower, so go to her. I’ll go arrange police forces in the countryside, and also, don’t just think about eating; remember to get the job done..."

After saying this, Qi Manlin left the breakfast shop to start her business, while Lin Mu indulgently waved to the shop owner,

"Boss, another tray of pork buns, please..."

...Half an hour later, Lin Mu completed his meal contentedly, paid, and left the breakfast shop. Checking the time, it was already eight o’clock—just in time for Yunhai Mansion’s office hours.

So Lin Mu took a car to Yunhai Mansion, arrived quickly, and then went to the CEO’s office on the top floor. Entering the lobby with a smile, he saw the pretty CEO reviewing documents at her desk!

"Morning, Feifei!" Lin Mu greeted with a smile.

"Morning!" Sophie elegantly smiled back at Lin Mu.

"Feifei, you look stunning today!"

Lin Mu slickly complimented. Despite it being clear flattery, women around the world enjoy being told they’re beautiful, and the poised President Su was no exception.
