Chapter 249: Chapter 240: Lin Mu’s Wishful Thinking

Although Lin Mu’s plan had some unexpected twists, it wasn’t too far off course, and everything was still within his control. Thanks to Xiong Xiaoxiao, who managed to lure Xiong Jian out, as soon as they returned to the car, Xiong Jian immediately sent out notifications and contacted various departments to thoroughly investigate the industries involving Han Si Hai, delivering an economic blow to the Han Family.

For someone like Han Si Hai, who dabble in both legal and illegal domains, much of his business income skates along the gray area of the law. If the relevant departments do launch an investigation, it would definitely lead to sensational revelations. If they really strike hard, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster for the Han Family!

Lin Mu chatted briefly with Xiong Jian before heading to South Asia Company. By this time, the auction was nearing its end. Qi Manlin naturally released Han Si Hai and then proceeded to meet up with Lin Mu at South Asia Company.

Under Qi Manlin’s guidance, Lin Mu entered the auction venue, which was already approaching its conclusion. As expected, the winning bidder was none other than the woman named Purple Clothes. Lin Mu made a point to observe Purple Clothes—true to her name, she wore a purple outfit. However, she concealed herself well, wearing large black sunglasses the whole time, covering most of her face, making it hard to gauge her intentions.

Nevertheless, with Lin Mu’s extraordinary Seventh Sense and insight, he was certain that Purple Clothes was the woman who attempted to assassinate him on the cruise!

The auction ended with Purple Clothes winning the land-use rights of Kangyu Foot Bath City for thirty million. Zhou Xun, following Lin Mu’s instructions, only bid twenty million, while the others, due to Han Si Hai’s threats, raised the price to just fifteen million as prearranged.

Lin Mu appeared relaxed; everything was progressing smoothly. Han Si Hai was at a loss, unable to even find the entrance to the auction; dealing with the woman in Purple Clothes would be much easier. After all, Purple Clothes’ funds were not legitimately acquired, and this was precisely why Lin Mu was keen on letting her win the land-use rights.

Lin Mu’s shrewd plan was this: to later have Qi Manlin investigate Zheng Haonan’s assets, which would undoubtedly lead to Purple Clothes. This money was supposed to be seized; originally, Qi Manlin was supposed to do it. But due to the auction, Lin Mu asked Qi Manlin to hold off and seize it after the auction ended!

Therefore, Lin Mu could be sure that no matter who the money ended up with, it was essentially fake money. Once Qi Manlin seizes this money, South Asia Company wouldn’t receive it, and according to the contract, the land-use rights would pass to the next bidder, which was Zhou Xun. This was all part of Lin Mu’s arrangement!

Lin Mu had crafted such a meticulous plan from beginning to end, saving himself a considerable expenditure!

As the auction ended, the attendees began to exit the venue. When Purple Clothes walked past Lin Mu, she cast him a deliberate or accidental glance, to which Lin Mu playfully winked. Perhaps others couldn’t see the meaning, but both of them knew that another secret battle was about to begin!

"Lin Mu, is Xiaoxiao okay?" Zhou Xun approached, asking worriedly.

"No worries, with such a protective brother, do you think she’d have any trouble? Iron Claw is already done for, and Xiong Jian is investigating all of Han Si Hai’s illegal activities," Lin Mu smiled and said.

"Good to hear, I was really worried," Zhou Xun patted his chest, making Lin Mu swallow greedily.

"Rest assured, she was just startled, she’ll recover soon!"

"Well, in that case, I’ll head back to check on Xiaoxiao," Zhou Xun said.

"Alright, be careful on the way, call me if you need anything."

"Yeah, got it."

Zhou Xun waved and left the hall. Lin Mu turned to Qi Manlin and laughed slyly, "That girl is something, she actually accomplished a perfect task today!"

"Huh, wasn’t it this lady who intercepted your nemesis Han Si Hai timely!"

"Ah, yes, yes, Officer Flower, you deserve the most credit. You handled it beautifully this time. To reward you, let me take you out for steak."

"HM, such a cheapskate! I helped you so much, and all I get is a steak?" Qi Manlin crossed her arms, dissatisfied.

"What? Do you want me to sleep with you too? If you insist, I’ll reluctantly agree, and see if you’re just as strong in bed!" Lin Mu said shamelessly.

"Bastard, I’ll skin you alive!" Qi Manlin cursed, not caring who was around, and lunged at Lin Mu with her pink fists.

"Oh no~ Here we go again!" Lin Mu shouted, running out of the hall.

"Bastard, stop right there..."

The two of them began to chase each other, looking to outsiders like a couple with the man caught cheating, hence the frenetic chase...

"Alright, alright, Officer Flower, let’s stop this nonsense, everyone’s watching us make a scene," Lin Mu said, standing beside a car and waving.

"Get in the car!" Qi Manlin, feeling embarrassed by the attention, shouted at Lin Mu before climbing into the car and speeding away.

"Oh my God, Wild Girl, you’re crazy!"

Lin Mu quickly buckled up; he still had high hopes for his new life and wasn’t married yet, so he didn’t want it to end so soon.

Qi Manlin drove in silence, heading towards the outskirts, and as they reached the outskirts, her speed increased, hitting two hundred km/h, turning the Jetta police car into a makeshift Mercedes.

Lin Mu noticed that Qi Manlin was venting some inner displeasure; could it be that even Wild Girl has something weighing on her mind?

"Officer Flower, you alright?" Lin Mu asked tentatively.

Qi Manlin didn’t respond, gripping the steering wheel and continuing straight ahead, though her speed gradually slowed, to Lin Mu’s relief. At least they wouldn’t end up dying together with this girl.

Qi Manlin stopped the car in front of a supermarket, got out, and went inside. She returned shortly with a large bag of items and got back into the car.

Lin Mu looked at the contents—beer and a few bags of peanuts. Was this the rhythm of drowning sorrows in alcohol?

Qi Manlin started the car and kept driving, but this time not as fast, maintaining a steady speed.

"Hey, Officer Flower, you want to have these? You should have said so earlier, I would have bought them for you, much cheaper than steak," Lin Mu joked.

"No need for you to buy them, but you must drink with me!" Qi Manlin said.

"What’s wrong? Having troubles? Or being hounded by handsome guys? It doesn’t matter, tell me, and I’ll try playing your boyfriend!" Lin Mu chuckled.

"Enough nonsense, just drink with me!"

"Ah... just these few beers, not enough for us to drink!"

"There are two bottles of liquor underneath, you drink the white, I’ll have the beer!"

"White?" Lin Mu opened the bag and indeed found two bottles of strong Chinese liquor underneath. Damn, this girl was fierce, even going for the strong stuff. Heh heh, wonder if I’d make any mistakes after drinking."
