Hearing Li Mu's words, Gu Yunshan didn't dare to object. He hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Li Mu sat on the sofa, sipped his coffee and thought for a while. Then, he looked at Gu Yunshan, who was wailing on the ground.
" Now that you've come this far, it's all your own fault. Taking your leg is just a small punishment. After today, transfer your business to the concession. With your status there, the Japanese won't dare to touch you easily. Also, use your money to secretly buy some real estate in the French concession and the International Settlement. Take as much as you can. I might need it in the future.”
After saying that, Li Mu got up and went to the top floor.
Standing on the balcony of the top floor, he leaned on the railing with both hands and looked at the bustling street in the distance, as well as the busy crowd.
"Are you blaming me for attacking your father?"
Li Mu's tone was calm as he said without looking back.
Gu Junru smiled and shook her head.
"No, because what you did was right!”
Li Mu laughed at himself when he heard this.
"I don't know why, but ever since I returned to the country, there have always been lonely people who come to my side. Perhaps it's because we're all the same, very lonely.”
These words struck Gu Junru's heart like a heavy hammer. Yes, we are all very lonely.
Li Mu turned to look at Gu Junru.
" I don't know if it's right or wrong to let you enter this line of work. People like us will always live in the dark. We can't see the sun and have no future. Perhaps we won't leave our names even after we die. Every road has an end, but we will always walk on a road without an end. Perhaps the road ahead has already reached the end, but we keep walking in circles without knowing it!”
Li Mu put a cigarette in his mouth and searched his pocket, but he didn't find a match.
At this moment, Gu Junru passed the lighter to Li Mu and lit the cigarette for him.
"At least this is a path."
Gu Junru smiled sweetly after she finished speaking.
Li Mu exhaled a mouthful of smoke and rubbed Gu Junru's head.
"Alright, arrange a room for me. It looks like I'll be busy today.”
With that, Li Mu reached out his hand and pointed at a building 100 meters away. Then, he turned around and left.
Zhuang Xiaoman had been following behind Li Mu without saying a word. However, her eyes were always inadvertently looking at Gu Junru.
After entering the room, Li Mu handed his coat to Zhuang Xiaoman and then lay on the bed to read the newspaper.
Zhuang Xiaoman, on the other hand, was lying on her side on the sofa, observing Li Mu from time to time.
Gu Junru stood at the side in a daze, looking at the two of them with an adorable face, not knowing what to do.
Li Mu felt uncomfortable being stared at by Zhuang Xiaoman. He put down the newspaper and pointed at Gu Junru.
"Stop staring at me. Am I a criminal? I'll leave Junru to you in the future. You're a top student from the training class. You have to teach her well.”
Zhuang Xiaoman nodded and patted the sofa to let Gu Junru sit down. Then, she pointed at Li Mu.
"Jun Ru, you can call me Sister Xiaoman in the future. I'll teach you how to keep an eye on him now. For example, he's the target, and what we have to do is to see his every move without being discovered by him."
Gu Junru listened to Xiaoman's explanation seriously. From time to time, she would even use the method she taught to look at Li Mu.
Li Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled helplessly. He did not feel violated by Zhuang Xiaoman's impudence. Instead, he felt more intimate.
"Bang!"
Unknowingly, night fell, and a gunshot alarmed the entire mansion.
Li Mu put on his coat and walked out. He saw his people standing in the courtyard and looking around vigilantly.
"What happened?"
"Boss, we found an assassin and lost a brother.”
When Li Mu heard Song Yunpeng's words, he walked to the corpse. Seeing that there was only one assassin's corpse, Li Mu frowned.
"Just one?"
Song Yunpeng nodded.
Li Mu turned around and kicked him.
"Just one person? All of you are exposed? Foolish!"
As he spoke, Li Mu looked at the street outside the courtyard with a solemn expression.
"Everyone, retreat into the house. We can't stay in the courtyard anymore.”
After saying that, he pulled Song Yunpeng, who had fallen to the ground, to the side.
"Do you know that you were wrong?"
Song Yunpeng lowered his head and gave himself a slap.
"I know. I was tested and revealed my secret. I didn't do my job well. Please punish me.”
"Don't say useless things. Do you see that building?”
Li Mu pointed into the distance.
Song Yunpeng looked in the direction Li Mu pointed and nodded.
"There's a sniper over there. I don't know his exact location, but his existence poses a great threat to us, especially when all the hidden sentries are exposed. We don't have many people to begin with, and in a situation where the enemy is in the dark and we're in the open, we might suffer a huge loss.”
Song Yunpeng nodded solemnly when he heard Li Mu's words.
"Boss, should we ask for help from the Shanghai station?”
"This is a special situation. It's not good to cause more trouble. Besides, I, Li Mu, can't afford to lose face.”
After Li Mu finished speaking, he looked at Song Yunpeng. He thought that if Song Yunpeng was not confident, he could only go himself.
"Boss, don't worry. I'm good at this kind of scouting.”
"Mm, okay, don't force yourself. There's no need to sacrifice your life for a sniper. Also, once you succeed, stay where you are. If there's a fight here, you can still provide some support from above.”
Song Yunpeng nodded and jogged all the way. Soon, he disappeared from Li Mu's sight.
Li Mu entered the house, sat on the sofa, and reached out to call Xiao Gu.
"Do you have your father's clothes? He brought over a set and a hat that he usually wore.”
After hearing Li Mu's arrangement, Gu Junru brought the coat and hat over after a while.
Li Mu took the clothes and took the coat rack at the side. He put the coat on it and carried it to the roof.
He first took out a cigarette, lit it, and fixed it under his hat. Then, he set up the coat rack beside the door. Then, Li Mu walked to the balcony.
"Xiaoman, stretch out the coat rack a little. Yes, slow down and float it a little bigger.”
Li Mu turned around and said while smoking.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and the hat on the coat rack was blown away by the bullet, emitting a wisp of green smoke.
