Chapter 265: Chapter 256: Zhang YangweiFrom the moment Nan Batian brought people to cause trouble, to the time when Qi Manlin came to take them away, it only took half an hour in total. Facing such a group of vicious thugs, resolving the issue in such a short time is enough to show the strength of the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion, as well as its deep connections! Lin Mu wanted this effect, to ensure customers feel comfortable playing and spending here. Only by providing them with a safe environment can the business hold onto the sensitive hearts of the guests in the long run! "Hey, everyone has been startled, I really apologize, there was a little hiccup just now, sorry for the trouble caused, and to show my apology, today’s expenses are all 90% off. Have fun everyone!" Lin Mu said heartily. Even though those who came were all big spenders, they all applauded Lin Mu’s generosity. It was the first time they encountered such a generous boss, it seemed they had to come here more often in the future. The most important thing is that it’s safe here, with strong backing, so there’s no need to worry about the police checking up! Of course, places like foot bath parlors operate with high profit margins, even offering a 10% discount is still breaking even. For the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion, it doesn’t result in a loss, and besides, the first day of operation typically comes with a promotional discount or something similar to leave a good impression, which is also a great business strategy! Soon after, the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion returned to its bustling state, a false alarm. Customers who came heard about the boss’s skillful handling and relaxed, enjoying themselves. Most who come to play are thrill-seekers, and the recent event indeed made them feel quite excited! The first day of operation, despite a small hiccup, ended quite smoothly. No matter how you look at it, it made customers realize that the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion is absolutely a place with a big background, and playing here wouldn’t lead to any trouble. Moreover, that evening’s incident brought in a lot of customer resources for the future of the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion! Lin Mu, of course, understood that Nan Batian was just a small-time thug, and that there was a big shot behind him who definitely wouldn’t let things go so easily. But deep down, Lin Mu felt that even the big shot behind Nan Batian was just a pawn for someone else! That night back at the villa, Lin Mu inquired about Qi Manlin’s interrogation results. Though Lin Mu didn’t care much about a small-time thug like Nan Batian, or even that so-called big shot, he still needed to clarify some things! Lin Mu was actually concerned about the person behind it all, orchestrating things against him. He felt that there was definitely someone pulling the strings from behind the scenes; otherwise, how did Zhou Xun get the news about Kangyu Foot Bath City so quickly? "Wild Girl, did you find out about the forces behind Nan Batian?" Lin Mu asked. "Yes, we’ve mostly figured it out. Nan Batian’s boss is a big thug from Dongguan South City named Zhang Yangwei. He runs things around South City and is nearly the top in the underworld. According to Nan Batian, Zhang Yangwei is the one who learned about Zheng Haonan’s death, so he sent people to take over the territory in Wancheng East District. Although Zhang Yangwei’s power isn’t as great as Zheng Haonan’s, Zhang Yangwei isn’t easy to deal with!" Qi Manlin relayed the essence of it to Lin Mu. Listening to Qi Manlin, Lin Mu rubbed his chin, still having doubts. With years of underworld experience, Lin Mu felt this wouldn’t be so simple. Why did Zhang Yangwei make a move neither earlier nor later but precisely when the contract transferred to Zhou Xun, and he was even willing to pay an extra five million for it? Something fishy was definitely going on! It’s worth pondering. If Zhang Yangwei wanted to seize the East District, it wouldn’t be surprising because, after Zheng Haonan’s death, the thugs in Wancheng East District were leaderless and needed someone capable to hold the line. But what’s strange is, why didn’t Zhang Yangwei acquire Kangyu Foot Bath City through formal procedures? Why only buy it from Zhou Xun at this very moment? It seems things are not that simple. Lin Mu suspected that someone was secretly manipulating things behind Zhang Yangwei, and this person could very likely be the mysterious Purple Clothes! As for Purple Clothes’ identity, Lin Mu had never figured out who it really was. Lin Mu had asked Qi Manlin to investigate, and the name Purple Clothes was just an alias; the person doesn’t really exist. Lin Mu was completely puzzled as to what kind of deep-seated hate Purple Clothes could have against him? "Wild Girl, hand over those people of Nan Batian to me, alright? After all, you’re just going to detain them for a few days!" Lin Mu said to Qi Manlin. Qi Manlin rolled her eyes at Lin Mu, "Why should I hand them over? Are you planning some sly tricks?" "Come on, I’ve always been aboveboard, alright? Ha ha, just trying to earn a little pocket money!" Lin Mu grinned. "Pocket money?" Qi Manlin was puzzled by what Lin Mu said. "Yes, just have your people send them to the basement of the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion." "This is illegal detention, isn’t it?" "Illegal detention my foot! Don’t you want to draw out the people behind them?" Lin Mu glanced at Qi Manlin. "What’s there to draw out, everything is very clear. Behind Nan Batian is Zhang Yangwei, a big thug from Wancheng South District. What else is there to uncover?" Qi Manlin said puzzledly. "Wow, saying you’re big-breasted and brainless isn’t wrong at all. Don’t you find this thing fishy? I suspect there’s another bigger hand behind Zhang Yangwei!" Lin Mu said. Qi Manlin frowned slightly. Regarding Lin Mu’s incredibly precise and special sensing ability, Qi Manlin always had faith in him. Even though she couldn’t stand his slick and unbridled temperament, it seemed that whenever Lin Mu thought of something, it would almost always come to pass accurately! "Alright then, I’ll listen to you." Qi Manlin nodded. The next morning, Qi Manlin ordered a few trusted police officers to send over thirty people of Nan Batian back to the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion, and they were directly escorted to the basement. When all thirty of Nan Batian’s people were squatting inside, the small room’s door opened, and Lin Mu, with a cigarette in his mouth and led by Earth Wolf, walked in smilingly. The fear for Earth Wolf behind Lin Mu was evident among these people, for they had witnessed Earth Wolf’s prowess. Even Blade couldn’t harm him, so one can imagine how formidable Earth Wolf was to them! "Hey, hello everyone." Lin Mu said with a smile, exhaling smoke. Nan Batian and his crew glanced at Lin Mu, none of them speaking; their previously arrogant aura completely destroyed by Earth Wolf, leaving only fear, genuine heart-palpitating fear! Lin Mu, cigarette dangling from his lips, walked over to Nan Batian, looked at him, and chuckled, "Why aren’t you acting all tough now? Just like your boss, gone soft?" Nan Batian glanced at Lin Mu. Although he was raging inside, he dared not say anything more either; he, too, was no fool. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are stacked against him, and acting brave nonchalantly was a sure way to get beaten! "What do you want?" Nan Batian looked at Lin Mu and asked.
