Chapter 281: Chapter 272: Using Empty Hands to Snare the White Wolf
"Damn, whose car is that?" the security guard cursed, intending to give the car owner a lesson.
The car seemed to be driving straight toward them, but it slowed and stopped next to the garden!
Seeing this, the security guard walked over to the driver’s seat and knocked on the window, which rolled down. Even though Zhang Yangwei was lying on the ground, when he looked up, he saw a familiar face that made his blood run cold—yes, it was Lin Mu!
It turned out that Lin Mu and Qi Manlin had used a computer in the East City Police Station to look up information on Zhang Yangwei. After some analysis, Lin Mu guessed that Zhang Yangwei was hiding in Jinhu Apartments, so he and Qi Manlin got into a police car and headed there to investigate.
At this moment, Lin Mu, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked playfully at Zhang Yangwei before turning his gaze to the two angry security guards standing by the car. Lin Mu then got out of the car, and the two security guards, seeing his defiant look, angrily said,
"You punk, you’re really looking for..."
Unexpectedly, before the security guard could finish, Lin Mu, with the cigarette still in his mouth, slapped him across the face, knocking out a tooth, which flew out along with some blood.
The guard, shocked, reached for the gun at his waist, but Lin Mu was quicker. He kicked the guard in the stomach.
The security guard, bent like a shrimp from the kick, flew backward and crashed into a tree trunk three meters away, rolling his eyes before fainting!
The other guard panicked as well, raising his gun but not yet taking aim. Lin Mu stepped in swiftly, grabbed the guard’s wrist, and twisted it downward. The guard screamed, and the gun fell to the ground, which Lin Mu caught effortlessly, toying with it expertly before tapping it on the guard’s forehead, causing him to roll his eyes and collapse to the ground!
Lin Mu let out a cold laugh and walked towards Zhang Yangwei, "Haha, Boss Zhang, we meet again!"
Zhang Yangwei, seeing Lin Mu’s demeanor, realized he wasn’t here to kill him but to save him. If it weren’t for his timely arrival, he’d probably be dead by now!
"How come you’re here?" Zhang Yangwei asked.
"Haha, I’m obviously here to find you. Looks like I came just in time. Who’s so bold to dare to kill South City’s underground boss?"
Zhang Yangwei looked at Lin Mu and then at Qi Manlin seated in the car. He knew Qi Manlin too, the deputy chief of the East City Police Station. Although he was caught by the police, it was better than being taken out by Lei Qiming!
"Can we chat at your place, Boss Zhang?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.
As if he had any other choice! With a bitter face, Zhang Yangwei nodded, "Alright!"
Following Zhang Yangwei’s lead, Lin Mu and Qi Manlin headed upstairs to Zhang Yangwei’s residence. Once inside, Zhang Yangwei sat down, and Lin Mu, pulling out a cigarette, sat beside him and handed him one.
"Just get straight to the point; what do you want?" Zhang Yangwei said.
"Haha, since you put it that way, I won’t beat around the bush. I’m here for two reasons: First, to find out the mastermind behind you. Given what’s happened tonight, I doubt you’ll continue to shield them, right?" Lin Mu exhaled a smoke ring and said.
Thinking about Lei Qiming filled Zhang Yangwei with rage. He had been loyal to him, yet Lei Qiming still sent someone to kill him. If Lei could be so heartless, Zhang saw no reason not to do the same. Since their relationship had broken down, there was no friendship left to speak of! noveldrama
Thus, Zhang Yangwei replied word for word, "It’s Lei Qiming. He’s the mastermind behind everything, including the kidnappings. Everything was orchestrated by Lei Qiming!"
Zhang Yangwei hid nothing more. Getting revenge on Lei Qiming with his abilities was impossible, so he could only rely on Lin Mu.
Lin Mu was shocked, "Lei Qiming? I’ve never heard of him in Wancheng. What’s his background?"
Zhang Yangwei shook his head, "Honestly, I don’t know much about his identity either. All I know is he’s powerful yet very low-key. I managed to reign in South City because he was helping me in the shadows. Without him, I could’ve never risen this high!"
"Oh? Interesting!" Lin Mu chuckled.
"And what’s your second reason?" Zhang Yangwei asked Lin Mu.
"Heh, the second reason is personal. I want Shengshi KTV. Five million, and you transfer it to me," Lin Mu said calmly.
Qi Manlin, beside him, glanced disdainfully at Lin Mu. This guy was all about money! Even while on the job, he never forgot about making a quick buck!
"Just five million to transfer it to you?" Zhang Yangwei thought it was too little. A massive KTV could easily fetch fifty million in a transfer!
Lin Mu, this guy, was practically bleeding him dry!
"Yes, exactly. Do you find it unfair? Of course, I agree with you, but given the current situation, do you really expect your entertainment center to keep operating? Do you think Lei Qiming will just let you go? You have no choice now. I checked your family’s details. You have two kids in the countryside. I advise you to do as I say—serve a few years, and when you’re out, be a good man. Plus, five million for your whole family is a huge sum! Rest assured, though I like making money, I’ll never harm them!"
Zhang Yangwei hesitated after hearing Lin Mu’s words. Lin Mu was right; once caught by the police, Shengshi KTV wouldn’t survive. It made more sense to transfer it to Lin Mu, secure some money for his family, and at least ensure they live well. Otherwise, he might not be able to get a single penny to them!
"So, what’s it gonna be? You’re not stupid; I’m sure you’ll make a wise decision!" Lin Mu exhaled another smoke cloud and said.
"Fine, I agree with you. But how can I trust you?" Zhang Yangwei asked.
"Haha, you have to trust me. You have no choice. Five million in exchange for that entertainment center... You lose a bit, but it’s not too much. Besides, your money was ill-gotten anyway. Now, I’m representing the government, confiscating it, and I’ll donate a portion to orphanages and nursing homes; think of it as atoning for your sins. Otherwise, you get nothing. If you land in the police station and I don’t take over, will Lei Qiming spare your family?" Lin Mu analyzed for him.
Lin Mu was right; Zhang Yangwei really had no choice as he was already at a dead end. The only thing he could do now was to unconditionally follow Lin Mu’s lead and sell Shengshi KTV to him, which, in fact, was the safest option he had!
"Alright, I agree. Just transfer the money to my wife’s account, and I hope you keep your word!" Zhang Yangwei said.
"Don’t worry, I’m a straightforward person. I’ll transfer the full amount to your family. Also, if you cooperate well, your sentence will be reduced. Of course, it’s best if you voluntarily testify against your accomplices; Officer Qi here can plead with the judge for a lighter sentence!" Lin Mu pointed to Qi Manlin and said.
