Chapter 303: Chapter 294: The Mastermind BehindLin Mu’s moves were so quick that it was impossible to evade, not to mention that the thug was already subdued! The thug let out a miserable cry, wailing in agony as he rolled on the ground. He used a dagger to slice off a piece of flesh from his arm, the pain of which was akin to the ancient torture of lingchi! The two thugs behind him shivered at the sight. Damn, Lin Mu was so ruthless! Such pain was unbearable to most, worse than death! Lin Mu sneered, staring at the thug, "I’ll ask you again, are you going to talk or not?" The thug looked at Lin Mu, thoroughly defeated by this overwhelming aura. To cut his own flesh slice by slice was worse than death! "I... I’ll talk..." the thug finally nodded, giving in. "That’s more like it. Why endure this pain? Speak now, who sent you?" Lin Mu smiled and said. "Purple Clothes!" the thug said through gritted teeth, enduring the pain. "Heh, I knew it was her!" Lin Mu sneered and then asked again, "Do you also know the thugs who went to South City?" The thug nodded, "Yes, they’re all people sent by Purple Clothes. We’re all in this together!" Lin Mu nodded his head, just as expected, this was all orchestrated by Purple Clothes. It seems this plan was long in the making. Now, as long as the business license of Flying Dragon KTV isn’t revoked, a few days of suspension isn’t a big deal! Now, Lin Mu has to personally pay a visit to Chen Luyou’s house because ultimately, Chen Luyou decides the outcome. Not making a move is not an option, plus Lei Gang is also on Chen Luyou’s side, which complicates things. Sorting out Chen Luyou might even lead to Lei Gang holding a grudge. Damn, these bastards in sheep’s clothing! Since the Corpse Emperor is already exposed, Lin Mu might as well take him out too. Now is the best time to eliminate the Corpse Emperor, but of course, the most important thing is to handle the KTV situation first! "Earth Wolf, get me a valuable painting from the antique market, a genuine one, worth at least a million!" Lin Mu instructed Earth Wolf. Earth Wolf looked at Lin Mu puzzled and asked, "Boss, why do you want to buy a painting? Have you suddenly developed a taste for art?" "Nonsense, since when did my appreciation level drop!" Lin Mu said in dissatisfaction, "This isn’t for viewing pleasure, it’s for giving as a gift. Once the dog is fed, it won’t keep bothering you!" Lin Mu had Earth Wolf buy a painting instead of directly giving money to Chen Luyou because Mr. Yu, the central general secretary, is cracking down on corruption. If Lin Mu gave a million directly to Chen Luyou, he might not dare to accept it, but accepting a painting is different. People might just say it’s a show of taste, but it wouldn’t be bribery! The nature of accepting a painting is very different from accepting money, so the appropriate gift choice is crucial! This is the philosophy of business, a trick learned from Sophie. Ever since working with President Su, Lin Mu has indeed made rapid progress in business! In Dongguan East City, within the luxurious mansion of the Han Family, Han Si Hai sat majestically in the opulent hall. "Master Si, reports from our subordinates say that Lin Mu’s Flying Dragon KTV in South City has been shut down by Chen Luyou, while the Foot Bath Pavilion in East City remains safe!" Extinction quickly reported the news to Han Si Hai. "Hehe, just as I thought. With Qi Manlin backing him in Wancheng East District, it’s bound to be fine!" Han Si Hai had predicted this long ago. "You’re wise, Master Si. However, those underlings have already been controlled by Lin Mu. With Lin Mu’s methods, they’ll surely confess. If they sell you out, it might not be good, right?" Extinction asked worriedly. "Hehe, don’t worry. I have it all sorted out. I’ve pushed all the responsibility onto Purple Clothes. Even if they confess, it’ll be her they mention. That woman Purple Clothes is not easy to deal with, trying to use me. Does she think I’m someone to be trifled with?" Han Si Hai said hatefully. "Master Si, your planning is thorough. We’ll just wait and enjoy the show!" Extinction smiled. "Hahahaha, I want to see how capable Lin Mu is in handling Flying Dragon KTV!" Han Si Hai sneered. In this matter, Han Si Hai has played a higher hand. After all, Purple Clothes is now in a passive position. Other than cooperating with Han Si Hai, she has no other choice. Han Si Hai has also gotten smarter, using Purple Clothes as a pawn! "Master Si, should my brothers and I add some oil and vinegar for Lin Mu?" Extinction asked, looking at Han Si Hai. Han Si Hai took a drag on his large cigar, slowly exhaling the smoke, "We’ve just caught our breath, no need to rush to make a move. Let Purple Clothes cause trouble for us for now. This matter may seem small, but it’s not insignificant. If it involves drugs, then it would be troublesome for us. That bastard Xiong Jian is still watching me, you never know when he’ll bite, so it’s best to lay low!" Upon hearing this, Extinction nodded, "Wise of you, Master Si, we’ll follow your lead!" Earth Wolf found an old man who collected paintings and calligraphy at the antique market, buying a painting from him for two million and handed it to Lin Mu. Lin Mu had someone do some simple wrapping, then drove to Chen Luyou’s residence! On the way, Lin Mu also stopped at a stationary store to buy a recording pen. When delivering a gift, of course, you have to record something; otherwise, the gift would be pointless! With everything ready, Lin Mu took a deep breath, then continued driving to Chen Luyou’s home. It was right after work hours, so Chen Luyou should be home. He lived in a high-end community. Lin Mu had already found out he lived in Unit B, on the second floor, southside. He took the painting and went up. When he reached the door of Chen Luyou’s apartment on the second floor, Lin Mu rang the doorbell. Quickly, the door opened, and a woman stood there. She must be Chen Luyou’s wife! Lin Mu looked at the woman, with her barrel-shaped waist and plump body, and wondered how Chen Luyou managed every night. Apparently, Chen Luyou was known to be henpecked, which now seemed true. With this figure, any average man would struggle to handle it! "Good evening, ma’am!" Lin Mu smiled and nodded. Chen Luyou’s wife glanced at Lin Mu, "May I ask who you are?" "Good evening, ma’am. My name is Lin Mu, I’m here to visit Captain Chen. I wonder if Captain Chen is home yet?" Lin Mu asked with a smile. Chen Luyou’s wife looked at him. Many people indeed came to look for Chen Luyou. After all, her husband was a big figure in the police force, and those who came were surely seeking something from him, so she invited Lin Mu into the house. "You’re here for Luyou. He’s not back yet, probably on his way. Come in and have a seat!" The middle-aged woman was quite courteous. "Thank you, ma’am!" Lin Mu nodded and entered the house, where Chen Luyou’s wife poured him a glass of water, "Have some water first." "Thank you, ma’am!" Lin Mu smiled.
