Chapter 82

As soon as he stepped out of the ward, Guo Lin's first action was to call his mistress.

He indeed had a mistress, a female college student who used to be a student at Haizhou Normal College and had only graduated two years ago. Guo Lin had bought her a job position and sent her to work at the Education Bureau. He also bought her an apartment. She usually lived in the single apartment provided by the Education Bureau, publicly claiming to have no house or car. The apartment Guo Lin bought for her became their secret meeting place, a matter so secretive that almost no one else knew about it.

She had just finished work when she received his call. Her first words were, "Cousin, why are you calling me now?"

In their secret code, if she responded this way, it meant someone was nearby and she couldn't speak freely.

"I have an urgent matter to discuss with you. When can you get home?"

She understood that when Guo Lin mentioned "home," he was referring to their love nest.

She replied on the phone, "Do you want me to come over for dinner? I'll need another twenty minutes. I'm with a colleague right now, and I still have some things to finish."

"Hurry up, it's an emergency!" Guo Lin hung up and dismissed his driver, then walked out of the hospital to wait for a taxi.

Li Mu and Zhao Kang were sitting in a Passat across the street, using a newly bought telescope to clearly see Guo Lin's expression.

The car was borrowed from Song Liang. Li Mu said he wanted to take a female classmate for a drive, and Song Liang immediately offered to send his Mercedes. However, Li Mu said the Mercedes was too conspicuous and insisted on a more low-key car, so Song Liang's driver brought him the Passat.

They had been following Guo Lin from Xiling Coal Mine to the hospital, hoping to find some flaws in his behavior.

"This guy seems very nervous," Zhao Kang said, putting down the telescope. "He probably just found out about our actions."

Li Mu nodded. "He was calm when he entered the hospital half an hour ago, but now he's so anxious. He must have just found out."

Zhao Kang asked, "Is it meaningful for us to follow him?"

"Yes," Li Mu said firmly. "Although the content of the post is fabricated, Guo Lin's corruption is definitely true. As for whether he's involved with a female teacher from No. 5 Middle School, I don't know. We made it detailed to increase credibility. Besides, I think it's very likely that he has a mistress outside."

"Why?"

"Because his wife is so ugly and dresses like a ghost, with heavy makeup and dyed yellow hair. Could Guo Lin be interested in her?"

Zhao Kang recalled Xue Guilan's appearance and nodded. "His wife is indeed a notorious show-off."

Li Mu said, "So I think Guo Lin definitely has a mistress outside. I don't know if it's a college student, but there must be someone. With such a big issue, he didn't discuss it with his wife in the hospital but hurriedly left to take a taxi. Who do you think he's going to see?"

"Mistress?"

"Possible."

Li Mu watched as Guo Lin hailed a taxi and got in. He immediately put down the telescope and started the car to follow. Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Wanying International Garden in the city center. Guo Lin got out and walked straight into the complex. Li Mu followed slowly, keeping a ten-meter distance, until he saw Guo Lin enter Building 8, Unit 4.

"See, he didn't go back to the Xiling Coal Mine complex. What could he be doing here?"

Zhao Kang chuckled. "Hiding a beauty, of course."

"Who knows who he's hiding. If we can dig out her identity and have the internet trolls attack again, Guo Lin's wife will probably explode first. When the backyard is on fire, he'll have his hands full."

The buildings in Wanying International Garden were six stories high with no elevators, meaning each unit had twelve households. Determining which one Guo Lin went to would be challenging.

Zhao Kang said, "Should I buy a bucket of purified water and knock on every door to deliver it?"

"No!" Li Mu firmly rejected. "We must not show our faces throughout this process. I'm aiming to send Guo Lin to prison. We must be cautious, or if we're caught, the other side will fight to the death with us."

Zhao Kang's expression turned serious, and he nodded. "I understand!"

Li Mu checked the time and said, "We'll wait here and observe. Pay attention to all the women who enter and exit this unit alone, especially those who are young and attractive. They are likely Guo Lin's mistress. First, we'll identify a few suspects, then we'll confirm."

"What if the woman is waiting for Guo Lin at home?"

"Then we'll wait until he comes out."

"Got it."

A few minutes later, a woman in her thirties with a young boy entered Unit 4. She was very attractive, and Zhao Kang smiled. "If it's her, that means Guo Lin has an illegitimate child. Xue Guilan will definitely fight him."

Li Mu laughed. "We can keep an eye on her; it might be true."

After a while, a woman in her forties entered the unit alone. This was unlikely, as if Guo Lin had a mistress in her forties, he must be out of his mind.

Ten minutes passed, and Zhao Kang suddenly pointed at a woman passing by the car. "Hey, I know her."

Li Mu looked up and saw a well-dressed young woman walking past the car. He saw her profile, and she was quite attractive.

Li Mu asked casually, "How do you know her?"

Zhao Kang said, "She was the tutor my mother hired for me in junior high. She was a student at the Normal College and tutored several kids in our neighborhood, including me."

Many college students tutored part-time, making it a popular job for them. Since it was from three years ago, Li Mu didn't think much of it and dismissed it.

However, when the woman hurriedly entered Building 8, Unit 4, Zhao Kang suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly, "Damn! Guo Lin's mistress must be her! I just remembered, she also tutored Guo Yuhang!"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! A hundred percent sure!"

Li Mu and Zhao Kang had been waiting for a young, attractive woman to enter the unit, but they never expected it to be Zhao Kang's tutor from three years ago.

Considering that she had tutored several children in the neighborhood, including Guo Yuhang, Li Mu and Zhao Kang immediately concluded that she must be Guo Lin's mistress. The coincidence was too great for it to be anything else.

Li Mu thought, as the mine manager, Guo Lin had plenty of money but an ugly wife. As long as he still had some vigor, he would definitely have a mistress. He never expected to find evidence so quickly.

Zhao Kang told Li Mu, "Her name is Zhao Lina, but I've forgotten where she's from."

Li Mu didn't care. "That's not important. What's important is that her relationship with him is confirmed. She tutored Guo Yuhang three years ago, and they were likely involved then. Once we spread this information online, Guo Lin's wife will be the first to fight him."

"Guo Lin had an affair with his son's tutor right under his wife's nose for over three years. She'll be furious when she finds out."

Li Mu nodded and started the car. "If netizens know he was involved with a college student three years ago, they'll probably curse him to death. Let's go; we don't need to know their exact apartment number."

Zhao Kang asked curiously, "If we expose this, won't Zhao Lina's reputation be ruined?"

Li Mu said expressionlessly, "I don't have the energy to care about her reputation. This is a life-and-death battle between Guo Lin and me. In this process, I only want to defeat the enemy, regardless of collateral damage."

Zhao Kang saw Li Mu's determined gaze and nodded lightly.

Li Mu sneered and continued, "Besides, she decided to be Guo Lin's mistress before she even graduated from college. She's not an innocent person. Since she made this decision and has been with him for over three years, she should be prepared for the truth to come out."

Zhao Kang understood Li Mu's decision. "If Guo Lin were to target my father, I would want to kill his entire family. And Zhao Lina is truly disgusting. Guo Lin is so fat, I can't even imagine them together..."

Li Mu drove out of the complex and said calmly, "Exposing Zhao Lina will create internal and external troubles for Guo Lin, but it's not enough to bring him down."

Zhao Kang raised an eyebrow. "We've caught him with a mistress, and it's still not enough?"

Li Mu shook his head. "He's a corporate leader, not a government official. The only solid evidence we have is his affair. Without concrete evidence of other crimes, the most we can do is label him with a conduct issue. If higher-ups protect him, this storm will pass quickly."

Zhao Kang thought for a moment and nodded. "So where do we get solid evidence?"

Li Mu shrugged. "I don't know yet, but this is enough to give Guo Lin a hard time. We'll think of the next step later."
