SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Chapter 42. After three years apart, old friends meet again.

The sound of footsteps, "tap, tap, tap," stopped in front of a bedroom door. Su Nianhe called softly inside:

"Lin Yan, could you leave your contact information?"

"They must stay!"

A clear female voice came from the room, accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.

The door opened quickly, and Lin Yan stood in front of Su Nianhe with a smile. The two quickly became friends.

Su Nianhe said softly, "Then see you next time, Lin Yan."

"Oh? Is my sister-in-law leaving already?" Lin Yan was a little disappointed; she felt she had so many questions she hadn't asked yet.

Then she smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Just call me Yan Yan from now on!"

"Okay, goodbye Yan Yan." Su Nianhe glanced in Lin Mu's direction with her beautiful eyes, a slight smile on her lips, and turned to leave.

After closing the door, Lin Yan rushed to the sofa, looking at Lin Mu with a scrutinizing gaze: "Brother, aren't you going to explain this to your dearest sister?"

"If you don't tell me, I'll tell Mom and Dad what happened today!"

Lin Mu paused, then said seriously, "This was an accident, I have nothing to do with her."

"I never lied to you, get some rest."

He patted Lin Yan on the shoulder, not giving her a chance to speak, and turned and quickly went back to the bedroom.

Lin Yan watched her brother's retreating figure, her curiosity deepening. She muttered softly, "Was what brother said only half true?"

"Even if it's not true now, it might not be in the future... Hehe, I like this sister-in-law, she's a perfect match for my brother, a perfect score!"

Outside the main gate of Yunjing Residential Complex, a powerful black SUV with its headlights on stood in the night.

Yu Ning was looking down at her phone when she suddenly heard the door open.

She put down her phone, her tone slightly questioning, "Sister, you're down so soon?"

Su Nianhe glared at her, and Yu Ning immediately changed the subject: "Shall we go now?"

"Up in the city." Su Nianhe's voice was cold, then she closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

"Okay!"

As soon as Yu Ning finished speaking, the roar of an engine suddenly filled the night, and the black SUV sped away in an instant.

The next day at 11:00, the sun was high in the sky.

A Maybach was speeding along the highway.

"Brother, you don't need to drive so fast, it's not like we're in a hurry."

Lin Yan stared at the speedometer and pressed, "Isn't this... speeding?"

"It's alright, Gu Cang will handle it," Lin Mu said calmly.

Three hours later, in the Holy Capital.

The Maybach came to a smooth stop outside a heavily guarded base.

"We've arrived. Let me know in advance next time you're coming home, and I'll come pick you up if I'm free."

Lin Yan's beautiful eyes gleamed: "Brother, I didn't give you directions, and you didn't use navigation, so how do you know this place so well?"

Lin Mu was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that your brother spent six years in Shengjing City fixing screws?"

"I know the roads of the capital city much better than you do."

"Oh...I see." Lin Yan pouted, her tone tinged with disappointment.

"Alright, go inside now."

"Brother, would you like to go inside for a look? You can only see the outside, outsiders are definitely not allowed in the lab," Lin Yan invited with a smile.

Lin Mu paused for a moment, then said, "Maybe next time, I have something to do."

"Brother, what were you doing secretly again? It's not like there's anything shady going on..."

Lin Yan's tone suddenly became firm.

My brother is definitely not simple! How could he have only been a screwdriver in the capital for six years?

"Your little brain is always thinking about all sorts of nonsense. It's just a trip to see an old friend," Lin Mu said, reaching out to ruffle her hair.

"Ugh! Bro, you messed up my hair again! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Lin Yan instantly lost her temper, angrily pushed open the car door and got out, striding quickly toward the solemn gate of the base.

As Lin Yan walked into the base, Lin Mu couldn't help but smile as he watched her retreating figure. Then, his eyes suddenly turned deep: "It's time to make some preparations in advance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed on the gas pedal, and the Maybach sped away with the roar of its engine.

Lin Yan, who had just entered the base, suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction the vehicle had gone, her beautiful eyes full of doubt: "Brother, what exactly are you doing in the shadows?"

"Six years of screw-driving in the capital? Only your parents would believe your nonsense..."

She sighed softly, then shook her head: "Forget it, let's focus on building up my network first. That way, if something happens to my brother in the future, I can cover for him."

Lin Mu gazed at the familiar streets of the capital, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

He stopped in front of the Zhen Erting Building for ten minutes, until a cigarette burned out, before stepping hard on the gas again.

As he passed the center of power, he slowed down, his brow furrowed, as if deep in thought.

An hour later, Lin Mu drove into the northern part of the city, and the Maybach came to a smooth stop in front of the main entrance of the Sun and Moon Cafe.

This store covers an area of ​​over 300 square meters and has three floors. Its exterior exudes understated elegance.

Lin Mu pushed open the car door and got out, a faint smile playing on his lips: "You two, one is truly decadent, and the other is quite carefree."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode into the coffee shop.

The store is spacious, yet every seat was taken.

After all, Sun and Moon Cafe is extremely famous in the capital city, and people who come from far and wide often queue for hours, or even a whole day, for a cup of coffee.

Many people may not understand why people are too idle these days.

Life feels so empty, so I'll drive all the way here whenever I encounter something new.

But if you think about it carefully, isn't the most important thing in life the very act of starting a journey?

If there's a place you want to go, or you want to meet up with a few close friends, even if you don't have a specific destination in mind, you can still get together late at night.

Although the ultimate destination will most likely be a foot massage parlor...

Lin Mu walked to the bar and casually looked around: "It's much more spacious than before."

A man in his thirties, dressed in business attire, walked up to him and smiled politely:

"Sir, there are still more than 50 cups left to be made. If you're not in a hurry, you can scan the QR code to order."

He glanced around and added, "There are no seats available on the first floor right now. You can go to the second floor to rest for a while."

Lin Mu looked at the familiar face in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.

The man raised an eyebrow, not understanding what he was laughing at, even though he had been very polite.

"I need to go to the room on the far right of the third-floor corridor. Could you lead the way?" Lin Mu said with a smile.

"The third floor is an internal office area and is not open to the public. We apologize for the inconvenience." The man's voice was tinged with impatience.

"I know."

Lin Mu suddenly patted his shoulder, making Chen Yong frown even more.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Mu's calm voice rang out again: "Is Zhao Shanhe here?"

Chen Yong's pupils contracted slightly, and the next second his tone turned cold: "Sir, are you here for coffee?"

Lin Mu smiled and said, "I'll wait here for a while. Go and tell Zhao Shanhe."

"It means that after three years apart in Mingcheng, we met an old friend who is still alive."

"Thank you for your help."

Chen Yong looked at him, puzzled: he knew all the boss's old friends, but this young man in front of him seemed completely unrelated.

He pondered for a moment, then said in a cold tone, "Wait a moment."

Lin Mu nodded: "Thank you."
