An article written by Mu Lin and a personal statement from the U.S. ambassador to Y country redirected the world’s attention, guided by the media, back to Y country. Shortly after, the U.S. national press spokesperson made a statement regarding Mu Lin’s disappearance in Y country, emphasizing that as a democratic nation, guaranteeing the safety of human life is the most fundamental condition.
Mu Lin, as a globally renowned figure and an empathetic, highly skilled physician, could not even ensure his own safety in Y country. Then, if an ordinary person were there, their life safety would be even less guaranteed. In his statement, he strongly condemned terrorist organizations and individuals.
Although the U.S. press spokesperson did not explicitly accuse Y country’s government in this statement, anyone around the world with even a minimal capacity for critical thinking could easily discern the direction of the accusation.
Mu Lin understood that, on one hand, the U.S. was responding to domestic pressure, attempting to quell public distrust of the current administration. On the other hand, the two countries had recently experienced ongoing disputes in their efforts to normalize trade relations. The U.S. government also wanted to use this opportunity to exert pressure and force the other side to yield.
At this time, the media began criticizing Y country’s government policies, accusing them of deflecting domestic employment pressures by blaming unrelated Asian immigrants. At this point, the media recalled that Mu Lin himself was also an outstanding Asian immigrant, and while lavishly praising Mu Lin, they launched fierce criticism against Y country’s government for its blatant violation of human rights.
The dark clouds hovering over Asian immigrants finally began to dissipate, as countries gradually began reconsidering their actions and implementing laws and regulations to protect Asian immigrants from discrimination, improving their living conditions. At this point, those who previously harbored resentment toward Mu Lin gradually began to feel grateful toward him.
Meanwhile, due to the U.S. government’s statement, Y country’s government’s defense appeared increasingly pale and ineffective. In this context, investors from these countries and local entrepreneurs gradually began withdrawing investments and relocating their industries to other nations.
This sudden shift dealt a heavy blow to Y country and its allied nations’ economies. Seeing the unfavorable situation, the allied nations quickly issued statements declaring policies different from the mother country, assuring that they would prioritize guaranteeing the safety of their citizens’ lives and property, avoiding the same issues as Y country’s government.
Y country originally faced pressure from rising unemployment caused by the expulsion of Asian immigrants. With the wealthy withdrawing their investments and relocating industries, the domestic unemployment rate surged further, leading to severe inflation.
These unemployed individuals, dissatisfied with the current government’s actions, began holding protests and gatherings to fight for their basic right to survival, plunging the country’s public order into chaos and causing a further sharp economic decline.
During this period, Mu Lin remained in Y country. According to his character, if anyone tried to harm him, he would ensure they suffered complete ruin. Even though he was up against an entire nation, based on his stubborn personality, he was slowly seeking an opportunity.
And the best way to find an opportunity was to stay right here. Now, Mu Lin had moved out of the London University campus. After two months of searching, the police and public had grown weary, so their vigilance toward outsiders was no longer as intense as before.
Hiding in an ivory tower could shelter one from storms but made it difficult to identify the enemy’s weaknesses. Not long after publishing his article, Mu Lin and Xiao Laipi left that place.
Now, they had rented a small villa. Since Mu Lin used forged documents identifying himself as an adult, he purchased a used car to facilitate his travel.
Communication with Boston Kelly and the others was no longer under surveillance, as they were now on their own turf, and every move by the U.S. government was promptly reported to them, allowing them to avoid many dangers. After two months without contact from Mu Lin, the U.S. government finally ceased surveillance and phone monitoring of Kelly and the others, convinced they had no connection to Mu Lin’s disappearance.
After seeing the advertisement published by the company they had previously agreed upon for checking in safely, Mu Lin began contacting his family. Upon hearing Mu Lin’s report that he was safe and well, his family finally felt relieved and let go of their longing and concern for him.
After staying indoors for nearly two months, Mu Lin now began strolling the streets with Xiao Laipi. With a car at his disposal, Mu Lin could confidently travel around with Xiao Laipi.
Xiao Laipi’s appearance had also been altered by Mu Lin. First, his snowy white fur was dyed grayish brown. His tail was shortened by himself, and Mu Lin equipped Xiao Laipi with a pair of contact lenses that changed his eye color, making him look like an ordinary fox terrier.
Since winter had arrived, Britain was quite cold. Amid the drizzling rain, Mu Lin and Xiao Laipi wanted to relax in nature. They first visited Kensington Park and Hyde Park, which were the two largest parks near their residence. Everywhere they went, towering trees and vast lawns abounded, with many small animals playing in the parks. There was a serpentine lake in the park where many beautiful swans played.
According to the plan, after leaving Kensington Park, they headed toward the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and British Museum. By this time, the rain had intensified, and the temperature had dropped sharply, leaving the streets even more deserted.
The Science Museum was located next to the Natural History Museum, primarily showcasing the tremendous development of human technology. The museum was comprehensively categorized, covering food, human organs, military affairs—there was almost nothing you couldn’t see. Detailed introductions and displays ranged from Y country’s early steam engines to modern F1 racing cars, and from ancient stone tools to the most advanced rocket launches. Later, they entered the British Museum. The grand hall had an exquisite structure, with its ceiling entirely made of transparent glass, allowing visitors to look up and see the blue sky. In the center of the hall was a large reading room, with a high dome housing a wealth of precious books.
When Mu Lin entered London, he had sensed a pervasive evil energy here. Now, with the Y country government preoccupied and unable to pay attention even if major incidents occurred, this was the perfect time for him to search for the source of this evil energy.
