Chapter 234: Chapter 225: Robbery!"Hmm?" Lin Mu’s eyes flickered for a moment, thinking Qi Manlin suddenly had a conscience and wanted to thank him. He quickly grinned and walked over, plopping down next to Qi Manlin. "Hehe, I knew you weren’t the ungrateful type. Come on, I’ve already prepared, give your brother a kiss." Lin Mu turned his cheek towards Qi Manlin and said. "Stop being narcissistic, be serious, I need to ask you something!" "What is it? Kiss your brother first, otherwise, don’t ask me anything." "You..." Qi Manlin glanced at Lin Mu, then sighed and forced a smile, "Lin Mu~~" "Uh..." Hearing Qi Manlin’s soft voice, Lin Mu shivered, "I say, Wild Girl, you better go back to your normal state. Talking like this makes your brother so uncomfortable!" "I need to ask you something about Zheng Haonan. Who do you think killed Zheng Haonan?" Qi Manlin asked seriously. "Haven’t you guys already clarified it? Huang Mao killed Zheng Haonan, the evidence is solid, what more questions are there?" Lin Mu spread his hands and said. "It’s not that simple. That’s just a way to pacify things, to give the public an explanation. Zheng Haonan was indeed killed by Huang Mao, but how did Huang Mao die? This indicates that someone definitely went there before we did!" Qi Manlin analyzed. "The case is closed, so that’s it!" Lin Mu shrugged his shoulders and said. "I feel things aren’t that simple, and I found that the money and cards in Zheng Haonan’s wallet are missing," Qi Manlin said. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh?" Lin Mu frowned, and after Qi Manlin’s words, his eyes flickered again. He thought to himself, "With Zheng Haonan’s tens of millions of assets and no children, what happens to his money when he dies?" "Wild Girl, were Zheng Haonan’s bank accounts frozen by the police?" Lin Mu asked. "No, but his foot bath city was confiscated by the government due to its unqualified land use rights and is scheduled for auction. I don’t know the specific arrangements; it’s still under discussion!" Qi Manlin replied. Lin Mu touched his chin, his mind rapidly spinning, feeling as if there was a conspiracy. At first, Lin Mu thought the matter would just pass, but after Qi Manlin’s words, it seemed unresolved. Zheng Haonan’s death, so sudden and not just to silence him, indicated someone might have been eyeing his assets! "Wild Girl, do you want to know who killed Zheng Haonan and Huang Mao?" Lin Mu asked Qi Manlin, looking up after pondering. "Nonsense, of course I want to know. Why else would I ask you?" Qi Manlin gave Lin Mu a sidelong glance and said. "In that case, find out about the Kangyu Foot Bath City’s auction and its schedule, and you’ll soon see that person surface," Lin Mu said. Qi Manlin furrowed her brows, puzzled, "What do these things have to do with their deaths? Seems entirely unrelated, right?" "Hehe, there’s a big connection. Do you think Zheng Haonan had many enemies? Who would kill him at this time? And why take the cards from his wallet? Don’t you think it’s a bit suspicious?" After Lin Mu’s words, Qi Manlin thought about it and felt there were indeed oddities and countless tangled connections in this matter! "Is this matter really that complicated?" Qi Manlin was a bit confused. "It’s as complicated as you make it, or as simple. Do as I say, and you’ll slowly understand, plus the whole thing seems to be getting more interesting, hehe!" Lin Mu said. "Okay, I’ll inquire about it tomorrow and let you know." Qi Manlin nodded and said. These days, Qi Manlin is already a sub-director of the precinct, so inquiring about such matters is no problem, but Qi Manlin remained puzzled about exactly what complex relations existed. Damn it, she really couldn’t figure out how Lin Mu’s mind could see flaws in everything! The next morning, Qi Manlin returned to the police station and called Vice Director Zhang of the government office responsible for Kangyu Foot Bath City’s land use rights, as he was handling the matter entirely. During the call, Qi Manlin inquired about it and learned that Kangyu Foot Bath City lacked land use rights and was illegally occupying land, so it was indeed going to be auctioned, and the auction price was around 20 million, with the exact price needing an assessment from the relevant government authorities! After asking in detail and expressing her thanks, Qi Manlin hung up and called Lin Mu, still feeling like Lin Mu hadn’t told her everything! "Wild Girl, got any news?" Lin Mu said on the phone. "I just finished asking Vice Director Zhang, who is handling this. The government is indeed going to auction Kangyu Foot Bath City, with the approximate auction price around 20 million. It’s currently in the assessment stage, and no specific auction time has been set yet." "Hehe, that’s great!" Lin Mu laughed on the phone. "Hmm? What’s so great about it?" Qi Manlin asked, puzzled. "I mean it’s great that they’re going to auction Kangyu Foot Bath City. I’m very interested in such a prime location, and I have to get involved!" Lin Mu replied with a smile. "Bastard, I helped you not so you could buy Kangyu Foot Bath City. I’m asking you to investigate how Zheng Haonan died and who’s behind it. If you don’t do your job, I’ll skin you alive!" Qi Manlin yelled. "I know, hehe, don’t worry. That person will naturally show up eventually. If I can’t find that person, not just skinning me alive, you could even **** me," Lin Mu laughed, as if he had already foreseen events to come. "Humph, telling you now, if you can’t figure it out, you’re in for it. It won’t be just ****," Qi Manlin snorted, ending the call. "Damn it, look at the Wild Girl’s fiery temper!" Lin Mu muttered to himself as he got into his car to head to Yunhai Mansion. It must be said, Lin Mu was really interested in Kangyu Foot Bath City; it’s a prime area and many have been dreaming about owning that plot of land. Now with such a good opportunity, Lin Mu wasn’t about to miss out! Of course, to acquire Kangyu Foot Bath City, he still needed Sophie’s help. Lin Mu had just injected his available funds into the new company, so he was a bit tight on cash. That means soon, Lin Mu would shamelessly ask Sophie for a loan. Naturally, Lin Mu never saw Sophie as an outsider, they’d be family sooner or later, always feeling it was only right to ask her for money! Arriving at Yunhai Mansion, Lin Mu went to the top floor executive office. As he entered the hall, he saw Sophie quietly standing by the window, looking out. Lin Mu looked at Sophie, quietly creeping up behind her. He then pointed his finger at the back of her head like a gun, pinched his nose, and in a strange nasal voice, threatened: "This is a robbery! Give all your money, or I’ll shoot!"
