Chapter 89

"Who are you! What's up?"

Clearly, the shop owner was very unwilling to comply with Lin Mu's request.

After all, no matter who was the boss, if someone came in and instead of doing business, wanted to look at the store's surveillance, they wouldn't be in a good mood.

Lin Mu looked around and saw that it was a jewelry store. He pointed to the highest shelf, where a 1.7-meter-tall green plush bear was displayed, and said, "I'll buy this one. Can I look at the surveillance footage?"

The shop owner's face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny: "Sure, sure! The computer is right here, you can look at it freely..."

After paying, the shop owner wrapped the plush bear and placed it on an empty table nearby, curiously watching the video in front of Lin Mu.

He was also curious about what kind of surveillance footage could help him close such a big deal.

Lin Mu checked the time and adjusted the surveillance to start at six o'clock today.

Morning study sessions ended at seven, so the person he was looking for must have already come by then.

Therefore, Lin Mu checked the footage from the hour before.

"How could they not be here? This surveillance is right across from the road to school. If they came from this direction, they would definitely be seen..."

Deep in thought, Lin Mu tried hard to make out the people on the screen, especially those in suits.

Yes, he suspected the man in the suit!

There weren't many people who had a grudge, money, and a motive to do this.

And the only person who had recently offended him was this man.

But none of the people in suits on the screen were him.

The shop owner, seeing his furrowed brows, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who are you looking for? What are they wearing?"

What are they wearing...

This question woke Lin Mu up!

Although the man in the suit liked to dress up, if he was really doing something like this, he would definitely dress in a way that wouldn't draw attention.

Thinking about this, Lin Mu closed his eyes and began to recall the man's walking posture and build from the last time he saw him.

With the memory enhancement from the novel, his memory seemed to have improved a lot, and the scene of that day with the man in the suit came back to him...

Opening his eyes, Lin Mu watched the video again.

This time, he focused on the people who looked the most ordinary.

The surveillance footage could only show a rough image of people, but if you added the walking posture...

He paused the video, and the image froze.

A man in a black down jacket appeared on the screen.

Although the image was still blurry and the quality was poor, Lin Mu was almost certain that this was the man in the suit!

"Is it okay if I copy this video?"

The shop owner laughed, "Sure, sure, go ahead. What did this person do? Did they offend you?"

Holding the plush bear, Lin Mu walked out of the shop. It was not yet one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Don't be sad, I'll give you this bear..."

In the room, Lin Mu handed the plush bear to her and comforted her.

A 1.7-meter-tall bear, girls generally can't resist it, and it seemed Su Taohua was no exception.

Holding such a big bear in her arms, her mood improved a lot.

"Did you find out?"

Lin Mu nodded, "Pretty much, but I need to confirm it again."

Feeling more at ease, she was about to ask who it was when her stomach growled.

Su Taohua blushed, as she hadn't eaten breakfast and had been crying, which had left her in low spirits and drained of energy.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "I'm too lazy to cook, let's go to Crescent Street for noodles."

After so long, Lin Mu was also hungry. He remembered that there was a place on Crescent Street that made delicious knife-cut noodles with rich broth and reasonable prices, and it was very popular among students.

Su Taohua nodded, tidied up a bit, and applied some light makeup to cover her tear marks.

They didn't call a car and walked together, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.

On the way, Lin Mu deliberately told some jokes to lighten the mood, and occasionally threw in some witty remarks, finally cheering up Su Taohua.

Walking into the noodle shop, a few tables were already occupied. They sat down and ordered two bowls of noodles. Just as they were about to talk, a person walked over in surprise.

"Lin Mu, you're eating here too?"

Lin Mu turned around and couldn't help but laugh in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

The person who came was Chen Shaofei from the village.

Previously, when Lin Mu first returned home, he had a fight with Chen Shaofei and beat him up pretty badly, and the two had a grudge.

But later, Chen Shaofei often protected his younger siblings at home, and when Lin Mu had a confrontation with the Lin Zheng family over the elders, Chen Shaofei even helped him. Lin Mu had long forgotten their past grievances.

After all, they were about the same age and had grown up together. How many kids hadn't fought? They were from the same village, so there was no need to hold grudges.

However, the Lin Zheng family and Wang Peng were clearly not as close.

Chen Shaofei sat across from them, "After the New Year, I came to help my cousin in Shuizhen. I thought I'd find a job in town; I can't stay at home forever, right?"

Lin Mu smiled, "You finally figured it out. That's good. If you suddenly go far away, you won't have any experience. Get used to it in Shuizhen first; there will be plenty of opportunities later."

After chatting for a bit, Lin Mu introduced Su Taohua.

Hearing that Su Taohua was a teacher at the high school and was so beautiful, almost like a TV star, Chen Shaofei couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

After chatting for a while, Chen Shaofei asked curiously, "Why don't you have class today? I heard that teachers have to sit and prepare even when they don't have class. Is that true?"

Just as he was about to explain, Lin Mu's phone rang. The caller was Wang Peng.

He answered the call and told Wang Peng the address of the noodle shop, then hung up.

Lin Mu turned to Su Taohua and said, "I found him!"

Chen Shaofei was still a bit curious, but Lin Mu smiled and didn't go into detail, continuing to chat with him.

The noodles had just been served, and they hadn't even picked up their chopsticks when two small tricycles stopped at the door, and seven or eight obviously unsavory young men walked in.

The noodle shop owner couldn't help but feel anxious. Who wouldn't be worried if such a group came into their business?

However, these people clearly weren't there to cause trouble. After entering the shop, the others sat at two empty tables, while a short, fat man with only half an ear dragged a panicked-looking person to sit next to Chen Shaofei.

Chen Shaofei turned around and couldn't help but exclaim, "Cousin?!"

The man, upon seeing Chen Shaofei, became agitated, "Wang Peng, what do you mean by this! If you have a problem, come at me. Why did you bring my brother here?"

Wang Peng ignored him and respectfully said to Lin Mu, "Brother Lin, I've brought the person. He printed the stuff in his shop, but his small shop doesn't have surveillance. He only remembers that the person looked refined and was wearing a suit..."

Hearing Wang Peng's words, Chen Shaofei asked curiously, "Lin Mu, do you have something to do with that person? He was quite arrogant in the shop and even had a fight with me..."

PS: Thank you for the 100 RMB tip from "that time you were boasting" and "zrcjs." Haha, did anyone guess that the person in the shop was Chen Shaofei?
