Hearing Xu Mu's words, Li Lun was overcome with despair.
Of course he was scared. Who wasn't afraid of Xu Mu?
Anyone who wasn't was either Xu Mu's mother or an idiot.
In this world, only Xu Mu's mother dared face him head-on and come away unscathed.
As for anyone else who crossed Xu Mu, well, sorry—nobody could save them!
What?
Why didn't Xu Feng rein Xu Mu in?
Go ask Xu Feng if he dared.
Not only did he not dare, Xu Feng was afraid of getting dragged into it himself.
With that thought, Li Lun said to Xu Mu in a trembling voice:
"Young Master Xu, would you believe me if I said I wasn't plotting against you?"
Xu Mu gave Li Lun a disdainful smile.
He said bluntly:
"As if I don't know you. I bet you're delighted with yourself right now!"
"Sorry to trouble you, Dean Li, but you'll have to wait. Once I find the time, I'll teach you a lesson."
Xu Mu's tone was unusually calm. Li Lun couldn't hear a trace of anger in his voice.
But Li Lun knew Xu Mu was at his most frightening when he was like this.
If Xu Mu still bothered to reason with you, that was fine. It meant he wanted to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. But if he spoke to you this calmly, well, sorry.
Xu Mu might not even give you the chance to repent.
Li Lun's mind raced. He had only one thing to think about: how could he get Xu Mu to let him off?
He really had brought this trouble on himself. Just then, an idea flashed through his mind.
That was it! Xu Mu didn't want to be bothered, so Li Lun would promise
