The more Han Si Hai thought about it, the more something felt off, especially considering that his adversary was Lin Mu. Someone as clever as him, sharper than a monkey, wouldn’t let Li Faji succeed so easily. Moreover, could it really be a massive profit of fifty million overnight?
"Jue Qing, send someone to check Li Faji’s house; something’s not right!" Han Si Hai immediately instructed Jue Qing.
"Master Si? What’s going on?" Jue Qing glanced at Han Si Hai and asked.
"I suspect that old scoundrel Li Faji has pocketed my money. Last night he claimed there was a big deal, and I didn’t think much of it at the time, so I transferred him ten million. Now when I call him, he’s got his phone off and vanished. It’s likely something’s gone wrong!" Han Si Hai said coldly. It was a significant amount, ten million, not a petty sum.
"Just a little Li Faji, he wouldn’t dare pocket your money, would he, Master Si?" Jue Qing asked.
Han Si Hai’s eyes flickered, "I also hope that’s not the case; otherwise, I’ll skin him alive. Now, find out where Li Faji is immediately!"
"Yes, I’ll send someone to his house right away!" Jue Qing nodded and left the hall, arranging for a few Lanzai to head to Li Faji’s residence.
Unfortunately, twenty minutes later, several Lanzai arrived at Li Faji’s house only to find the doors tightly shut and no sign of anyone. His wife and kids had all fled, leaving the house empty! So they informed Jue Qing, who quickly reported back to Han Si Hai.
Upon hearing this, Han Si Hai flew into a rage; the situation was clear. His calls went unanswered, meaning Li Faji must have taken the money and run off!
"Jue Qing, gather some men and come with me to Flying Dragon Steel Company!" Han Si Hai said, brimming with murderous intent.
"Are you calling Jiasang?" Jue Qing asked.
Han Si Hai thought for a moment, then waved dismissively, "No need to call him now; he’s not ready to show his face. I have other plans for him!"
Jue Qing nodded, assembled Life-Taker and Annihilation, then joined Han Si Hai in the car, heading towards Flying Dragon Steel Company.
Twenty minutes later, Han Si Hai’s car arrived at the entrance of Flying Dragon Steel Company.
However, the moment the car approached the entrance, the security guard stopped them.
"Who are you looking for?"
"We’re looking for your Boss Lin!"
The security had already been instructed that if anyone came for Lin Mu, they should not be stopped and allowed entry. So the security opened the gate.
Annihilation drove the car slowly into the company grounds, and the security immediately called Chen Dawei.
Lin Mu, sitting in his office, soon received Manager Chen’s report. Han Si Hai was storming over, which Lin Mu had long anticipated. Given Han Si Hai’s fiery temper, he would definitely show up. With his not-so-dull mind, he would somewhat comprehend that this matter was linked to Lin Mu!
Soon, led by Chen Dawei, Han Si Hai, Jue Qing, and others arrived at Lin Mu’s office.
"Oh, we have a rare guest!" Seeing Han Si Hai and his men enter, Lin Mu did not stand up. He exhaled a smoke ring and smiled at Han Si Hai, his tone drenched with disdain.
Han Si Hai cast a gloomy look at Lin Mu and got straight to the point, "Where’s Li Faji?"
"Oh? You’re looking for Li Faji? He resigned last night. Do you need something from him?" Lin Mu spread his hands and said.
"Where did he go? Tell me!" Han Si Hai demanded coldly.
"Heh, he’s not my wife. How should I know where he went? Plus, he didn’t tell anyone his whereabouts, so I don’t know either. There’s something else you must understand. Though you, Master Si of Wancheng, are feared by many, to me, Lin Mu, you’re nothing! Speak respectfully here, don’t come with that high-handed attitude. Otherwise, get lost!" Lin Mu showed no respect for Han Si Hai, and his tone was fiercely assertive.
Just as Lin Mu finished, Jue Qing behind Han Si Hai couldn’t hold back, about to move forward, but Han Si Hai held them back with his hand! Though Han Si Hai had a short temper, he understood the importance of restraint; picking a fight at someone else’s doorstep was something he wouldn’t foolishly engage in.
"Heh, Lin Mu, you’re involved in this, aren’t you?" Han Si Hai laughed mockingly.
"So what if I am? So what if I’m not? What can you do about it? If you’re greedy and suffer for it, don’t blame others, hmph!" Lin Mu sneered scornfully.
"Lin Mu, you’re good, hmph, I’ll admit defeat this time, but watch yourself!" Han Si Hai said as he turned and left.
"Hmph, I’ll be waiting!"
Han Si Hai returned to the Han Family Mansion, slamming his hand on the table, sweeping all the cups and dishes onto the floor. This rage was something Han Si Hai couldn’t suppress no matter what. He immediately informed Jiasang, planning to act that night and give Lin Mu a heavy blow! Upon receiving Han Si Hai’s instructions, Jiasang didn’t mind, as Lin Mu was destined to die by his hand sooner or later.
After work, Lin Mu returned to the Lin Family Mansion, planning to take a nice hot bath and have a good night’s sleep. After all, he’d just pocketed ten million, and that from his rival Han Si Hai, no less. This warranted a proper celebration, perhaps a kiss from the star Zhou Xun; yes, that sounded like a good idea!
As for that provocative woman Man Yu at the Flying Dragon KTV, Lin Mu decided not to provoke her for now because she’s like a she-wolf, something that made Lin Mu somewhat wary. More importantly, there’s no secret that won’t leak, and if his escapades with Man Yu reached President Su’s ears, that would be terrible. The good impression he’d built with Sophie would likely evaporate immediately!
Just as Lin Mu returned home, his phone rang. It was Zhuang Yiwen calling. Lin Mu frowned; the Zhuang Brothers were stationed at South City Flying Dragon KTV, and Zhuang Yiwen rarely called unless it was something important.
The Zhuang Brothers were skilled fighters, so they were usually safe, and besides, the Flying Dragon Group had made a name in the Pearl River Delta’s underworld. Ordinary thugs wouldn’t dare make trouble there!
"Hey, Ah Wen, what’s up?" Lin Mu asked over the phone.
"Brother Lin, it’s bad. A skilled Thai fighter came to the place, leading a group, beating anyone they saw and smashing everything. Our people can’t match them and have been scattered!" Zhuang Yiwen said over the phone, sounding like he’d also suffered internal injuries. Lin Mu could easily hear the sound of cups and plates being smashed over the line.
"Damn it!" Lin Mu swore, knowing that anyone capable of defeating the Zhuang Brothers was a strong figure, likely not one of Han Si Hai’s super hunters, as they had been beaten once before and wouldn’t have the guts.
