Chapter 296: Representing The Lord? (1/2)

Lin Mu was not expecting for there to be something like this behind the visit of Wu Teng. This turned out to be a much bigger thing than people knew of. The commoners only knew that lieutenant Wu Teng was coming to meet his father.

”What truly? But isn't it a bit suddenly? Aren't affairs such as these rather high profile… at least in case of High officials like Wu Teng and the Mayor?” Lin Mu questioned further.

~Sigh~

Another sigh escaped Hei Wen's lips as she rubbed her head.

”We were completely in the dark about it and only found out about it because the lord attended the banquet where it was decided. It was rather abrupt too and the people there were all shocked.” Hei Wen answered in a tired tone.

”So then… what does this mean for us? Like to me, it doesn't seem important.” Lin Mu stated.

Till now Lin Mu was suspicious that something serious was happening, but now that he heard that it was as a relatively simple affair such as this, he didn't care about it much.

”Of course, there isn't anything for you to do. But for us, we have a lot of things that now need to be changed, plans that need to be modified.” Hei Wen replied.

~Phew~

Lin Mu took a breath of relief after hearing that he had no need to get involved in it and that it was an internal matter of the Hei Corps.

”I'll take my leave then. That's all I needed to ask pretty much.” Lin Mu said and was about to stand up when Hei Wen spoke.

”Wait!” She said.

Lin Mu stopped and sat back down on the chair and waited for her to say what she wanted to say.

”Although you are not involved right now, you may need to in the future.” Hei Wen stated.

”Oh? How so?” Lin Mu asked.

Even if Lin Mu was reluctant to get involved in the matter right now, it didn't mean that he would do it if he was asked by Hei Corps. He was still grateful to them and didn't mind helping them out.

”Actually, the lord wanted to invite you to the very banquet that happened a month ago. But the circumstances changed, and then there was no need. Still, I'm sure the lord would probably be inviting you in the future. He also wanted to meet you in person.” Hei Wen explained.

Lin Mu was now curious too. He too had been wanting to meet the 'Lord' for a while now, and even Senior Xukong had praised him before. He was one of the few people that Xukong had praised, including Jing Wei.

”Sure, it shouldn't be a problem as long as you inform me beforehand.” Lin Mu answered.

”Alright. We should know a bit more of what's going to happen in the upcoming days, thus I will inform you according to that.” Hei Wen replied.

Lin Mu nodded his head, and then a thought appeared in his mind.
