Chapter 235: Chapter 226: There are narcissists, but none as narcissistic as himSophie slowly turned around, reached out and touched Lin Mu’s forehead, "It’s not even hot, why do you look like your brain’s broken?" "Damn, you’re really something, seeing right through me. I should’ve worn a stocking on my head!" "Don’t you always brag about making a million or so at once in Africa? Why would you risk everything to steal money?" "Uh! This time I’m really short on cash..." "Impossible, right? How could the big boss of Wolf Fang Security Company be short on money?" "If I’m lying, I’m a puppy!" Lin Mu weakly sat beside Sophie, "Feifei, this time I really have to tear off this facade, um, there’s a little something I need your help with!" "Tear off your face? Seems like it’s already torn without needing to be, yes?" "Uh, okay then..." Sophie chuckled, "Go ahead then, what is it? What could someone as capable as you possibly need my help with?" "Hehe, tight on cash lately, you think you can lend me a bit first?" Lin Mu shamelessly smiled at Sophie. "No problem, may I ask how much ’a bit’ is?" "A dozen or eight million!" "Um..." Sophie was speechless, a dozen or eight million and that’s ’a bit of money’? "Hm? You need that much money! What’re you going to do with it?" Sophie asked. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hehe, not to hide it from you, Zheng Haonan is dead, I found out his Kangyu Foot Bath City basically had no land use rights, so the relevant departments are going to auction it. That’s a prime location, you as a business genius surely understand, right? So I plan to bid for it!" Lin Mu sneered. "That place is good, it’s indeed a prime location, what’s the estimated auction price?" "Not much, around twenty million or so. Definitely a bargain!" Lin Mu continued to sneer. "No problem, money’s not an issue, I’ll help you out, just make sure to get it!" Sophie smiled and said. "Hehe, good, straightforward, once I win the bid, I’ll give you a fifty-percent share!" Lin Mu replied with a laugh. "Haha, no need for fifty percent, twenty is fine, but good places also have fierce competition. That piece of land, I’m worried you won’t have a chance, with so many wolves eyeing that piece of meat, can you snatch it?" Sophie worriedly asked. Lin Mu clenched his fists making a determined gesture, "Relax, no problem at all, trust me, I have my tricks up my sleeve!" "Alright then, wish you success, acquiring that place will definitely benefit your future development greatly!" Sophie said with a smile. "Thank you dear wife for your support!" Lin Mu pretended to bow. "Alright, alright, men becoming as dependent on women as you is truly a man’s sorrow, a woman’s misfortune!" "Can’t say it like that! Not every man has my kind of handsome capital, right..." Lin Mu flashed what he thought was a Beckham-like charming smile. "Okay, okay, you win!" Sophie didn’t want to deal with this narcissist any longer, "Two million will be wired to your account shortly, just focus and do your thing!" "Thank you, my dear! Await my good news!" Lin Mu clasped his hands together in gratitude, leaving with a sense of happiness and joy. As Lin Mu walked, he calculated that Kangyu Foot Bath City’s fat prospects wouldn’t be easy to nab. Wancheng’s other two big families, South Korea and North Chen, would surely want to join the fray, plus there’s a mysterious woman behind it all. Believing that the one who killed Zheng Haonan to steal his money eyed his Kangyu Foot Bath City, Lin Mu was confident he had enough ways to deal with this mysterious person. In the main hall of Han Family’s courtyard in Wancheng East District, Han Si Hai sat in the center of the sofa, taking a sip of tea, with the Poisonous Snake Four Brothers sitting on either side of him! They were also discussing the matters of Kangyu Foot Bath City, and Jue Qing first asked Han Si Hai, "Master Si, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" "What else to do, naturally need to make a move, such a golden opportunity, would be a pity to let it slip away! I heard Kangyu Foot Bath City has an annual profit of no less than fifty million. Who wouldn’t want such a big piece of meat?" Han Si Hai said. "Master Si, since the meat is so juicy, others will surely want a bite too, right? Like Chen Shiwei, Sophie, especially this guy Lin Mu!" Jue Qing specifically mentioned Lin Mu, as he saw Lin Mu as the Han Family’s most significant current rival. Han Si Hai took a strong drag of his cigar, slowly exhaling a cloud of smoke, "Lin Mu is like crap, step on him, and he sticks to you. How could he not come for such a good opportunity?" "Master Si, auctions are about money. Behind Lin Mu is Sophie. Competing in a price war with him might be a bit challenging. Even if we win, it’ll raise the price significantly, which wouldn’t be favorable for us!" Jue Qing expressed concern. Han Si Hai nodded, agreeing with what was said. Kangyu Foot Bath City was indeed a lucrative place, but if the cost was too high, acquiring it might not be worth it, and the payback period would be extended! "We’ll have to use some tactics then! You all need to figure out a way to keep Lin Mu out of the game! As for the other buyers, hehe, they simply don’t have the capacity to compete with me!" Han Si Hai’s eyes flashed, and he sinisterly smiled. "Haha, indeed Master Si’s tactics are high-level, I’m impressed..." Jue Qing chuckled, fawning over him. "Jue Qing, this task is yours. Later, withdraw a hundred thousand cash from the bank, and come with me to see Vice Director Zhang at the land bureau." Han Si Hai said. "Withdraw money? For what purpose?" Jue Qing asked, puzzled. "Haha, naturally to feed the dogs, for them to listen and guard, they need to be well-fed!" Han Si Hai laughed. "Master Si, you’re brilliant!" Jue Qing nodded in understanding, "Alright, I’ll go right now!" Meanwhile, in a western-style mansion in Wancheng South District, Chen Shiwei also received important intelligence: the government plans to auction Kangyu Foot Bath City. Kangyu is a piece of fat meat! Naturally, Chen Shiwei wanted to join in too! But regarding Kangyu Foot Bath City, Chen Shiwei didn’t have much hope. After all, it’s an era where wolves outnumber the meat! Everyone wants a bite, everyone wants in, Han Si Hai’s side surely wouldn’t let it go, and Sophie would definitely send Lin Mu to compete for it too. Not to mention Han Si Hai, even Lin Mu, with his cunning, if he wanted it, Chen Shiwei feared he’d have some difficulty. Hence, Chen Shiwei didn’t have absolute confidence in winning, but the prospect of seeing the spectacle was enticing. Chen Shiwei loves nothing more than a good show! So he crossed his legs and asked his female housekeeper, Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, what’s your take on this matter?"
