The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 212 - 203: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Chapter 212: Chapter 203: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Lin Mu chuckled, secretly thinking that Zheng Haonan truly wasn’t the kind of brainless fool. If he had flown into a rage and attacked just now, his end would have been very tragic. Evidently, he had two paths, but both led to death. One, cripple himself and wait to be eliminated by other gangs; the other, be replaced by his own subordinates.
Now, Lin Mu had a bit more respect for him. After all, he was indeed an underground big shot. He knew his own strength and thus chose negotiation to handle the issue!
Lin Muxiao followed Zheng Haonan into the office, now looking every bit the mature, composed, and meticulous big boss, no longer showing any trace of a reckless brute. He took a large cigar from his drawer and tossed one to Lin Mu, lighting another for himself,
"Younger Brother Lin, have a smoke. It’s a limited edition, not something you can usually buy outside!"
"Hmm, it’s not bad." Lin Mu said with a smile after sniffing it near his nose.
"Ha ha, this piece is imported, no fakes mixed in, pure flavor!" Zheng Haonan laughed.
"Cut the crap, thinking you can buy me with a cigar. If you’re really that naive, your end will be very miserable! Tell me, why did you have someone surveil my house?" Lin Mu stared directly at Zheng Haonan.
"Acting on someone’s behalf." Zheng Haonan had no choice but to come clean, without any concealment.
"Who?"
"Han Si Hai, ha, you shouldn’t be unfamiliar with this person, right?"
"Hmph, I guessed it was him. But you’re quite sensible, worthy of praise. Had you not been, you would be regretting it now!" Lin Mu said half-jokingly, half-threateningly.
"I can’t hide anything from you—sooner or later you’d find out. We can’t beat you, so why go through trouble first, right?" Zheng Haonan said wisely.
"Hmm, not bad, you’re much smarter than the others. Even if you hadn’t told me, I’d have ways to make you talk. As long as you speak, I won’t make things difficult for you. If everyone were as sensible as you, it’d be good." Lin Mu exhaled a cloud of smoke and chuckled.
"Ha ha, moreover, I’m just doing business for money. If the job can’t be done, I’ll just refund the money. Not worth getting myself in trouble for some money. Besides, I have a cash cow like the foot spa, which easily brings in millions monthly. I’m not that short on cash." Zheng Haonan shrugged nonchalantly.
"Ha ha, it’s best you think that way!" Lin Mu laughed, then stood up from the sofa, "Let’s leave it at that for now. Since you’ve been so cooperative this time, I’ll let it slide. Next time... ha ha, you can imagine the consequences!"
Lin Mu finished, opened the door, and left the office. Once Lin Mu had walked far away, the smile on Zheng Haonan’s chubby face suddenly darkened, his clenched fist pounding hard on the table.
Bam!
"Damn it!" Zheng Haonan cursed bitterly, though it didn’t seem directed at Lin Mu.
Just then, the door opened, and a masked woman pushed open the office door and walked in, "Oh, who made Boss Zheng so angry?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Zheng Haonan looked up at the woman, a hint of fear in his eyes, "No, nothing, really. By the way, I’ve taken care of the matter for you, shifting all the blame to Han Si Hai."
"Ha ha, very good, the performance was excellent!" the masked woman laughed, walking over to Zheng Haonan’s side, gently caressing his cheek.
But Zheng Haonan didn’t become lascivious from the masked woman’s flirtatious touch. He maintained a cold expression, now seeming like a gentleman unmoved by female charms—a completely different person from the lecherous guy before.
It’s not that Zheng Haonan didn’t want to go after this woman; he just didn’t have the guts. A few days ago, after being tempted by this woman and wanting to have her, he woke up to find his member had turned green and was unbearably itchy and painful, realizing she had poisoned him. Not only was his manhood at risk, but even his life was threatened.
The masked woman gave him half the antidote to control the poison within him temporarily, allowing his manhood to survive. However, she withheld the other half to control Zheng Haonan’s actions, leading to today’s situation.
"This Lin Mu seems quite powerful. Why do you want to deal with him?"
Zheng Haonan asked in confusion. He didn’t actually understand the enmity between the masked woman and Lin Mu; the masked woman never told him anything. He just did as she said.
"Ha ha, let me tell you a truth: some things are better left unknown until it’s time, or you’ll end up dead! And I must tell you, the more someone knows, the quicker they die!"
The masked woman’s tender hands continuously stroked Zheng Haonan’s large chest, but now Zheng Haonan had no interest in the woman’s seductiveness, only feeling terrified.
"I got it, now give me the other half of the antidote." Zheng Haonan said.
The masked woman laughed and took out a small pill, handing it to Zheng Haonan, "Sure, no problem, this pill will delay the poison’s effect for a week. If you do a good job, I’ll continue giving them to you until you’ve completed the task for me. I’ll give you the complete antidote. If you can’t finish it, then you don’t need to take it anymore; just wait to die."
Though the masked woman spoke with a smile, her tone sent chills down one’s spine. The most venomous hearts are those of women—Zheng Haonan deeply realized this now. He could only blame himself for being lustful and unable to control his lower half, getting into this mess.
As for Han Si Hai, one of the three underground overlords of Wancheng, Zheng Haonan knew well enough not to offend him. Even though he thrived in South City, in the larger Pearl River Delta, he couldn’t compete with Han Si Hai at all. Everyone knew in Wancheng that Han Si Hai had numerous experts under him, far beyond the hooligans under Zheng Haonan, completely out of his league!
But now, even though he couldn’t afford to provoke them, he had no choice. Saving his life was more important! Now everything was out of his control, and he could only follow this woman’s arrangements.
Come to think of it, Zheng Haonan felt frustrated, not even knowing the woman’s name. He could only blame himself for being too careless at first, underestimating this seemingly weak but actually terrifyingly powerful enchantress!
Zheng Haonan took the small pill, swallowed it dry without even a sip of water.
"What should I do next?" Zheng Haonan asked.
The masked woman smiled with her crimson lips and whispered into Zheng Haonan’s ear. Zheng Haonan frowned immediately, a slight change in his expression.
The masked woman noticed the change on Zheng Haonan’s face and laughed, "You can choose not to do it, but after a week, ha ha, you should understand what will happen to you!"
