Chapter 1476: Chapter 1491: The Twin Titans of Longdu

"Oh, so that’s how it is, even better. Since we’re all acquaintances here." Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Of course we’re acquaintances, so Boss Lin, no need to stand on ceremony." Liu Yuye responded with a grin.

"Haha, of course, no need for formalities." Lin Mu laughed.

"Boss Lin, the reason I’m introducing Yu Ye this time is because she has been handling this project. I got involved through her. It was operating smoothly until suddenly, a problem arose." Jiao Yunda said.

"Oh? What problem came up?" Lin Mu inquired.

"Another influential family in Longdu has also set its sights on this lucrative piece." Jiao Yunda stated.

"Haha, Young Master Jiao, you must be joking. The Jiao family is one of the two major families in Longdu. Who would dare compete with the Jiao family?" Lin Mu chuckled.

"It’s none other than the other family among Longdu’s two powerhouses, the Wei family. That’s why it’s quite a headache for me." Jiao Yunda explained.

In Longdu’s business circles, the only one qualified to contend with the Jiao family is indeed the Wei family, which is one of Longdu’s powerhouses with considerable strength.

"I see, so what does Young Master Jiao plan to do?" Lin Mu asked.

"I need Boss Lin’s assistance." Jiao Yunda replied.

"I’ve always said, if you need any help, just say the word. I agreed to collaborate with you, so of course, we’ll share the burdens together." Lin Mu responded.

"With Boss Lin’s words, I’m relieved. To be honest, the strength of the Wei family and the Jiao family is pretty much even, neither can overwhelm the other. But the Wei family has far stronger business contacts than my family. Therefore, for this project, even though the Wei family joined late, if we don’t take action, this profitable deal will eventually be snatched up by them." Jiao Yunda explained.

"Young Master Jiao, whatever method you have to deal with them, just let me know. As long as I can help, I won’t decline." Lin Mu assured.

Jiao Yunda nodded, "I’ve mentioned before, dealing with this business isn’t just about having money and people. More importantly, it’s about the shipping connections. If we fail in that aspect, no amount of money or people will help. The Wei family has prepared well for this. They’ve nurtured a group of thugs, each quite skillful. So, the only way now is to eliminate their men. If we can eliminate Wei’s subordinates, they won’t have anyone reliable left. By then, even if they want to proceed, they can’t. Then I can align with the Liu family to gradually weaken the Wei family’s influence, ensuring they pose no threat to us in the future."

"I see, then that’s simple. I’ll help you get rid of that group. As for the business side, you can take your time eroding them." Lin Mu stated.

"Since Boss Lin has agreed, I’m relieved." Jiao Yunda smiled.

"Since this is a partnership, I can’t just sit back and wait for the money to roll in. That wouldn’t be right." Lin Mu laughed.

Jiao Yunda nodded and then said, "In that case, when does Boss Lin intend to act? I’ve already located Wei family’s experts."

"Anytime." Lin Mu nonchalantly replied.

Jiao Yunda pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let’s do it tonight. Boss Lin, how many people do you need?"

"I need none. It’s easy to deal with them!" Lin Mu declared.

"Then I’ll leave this matter in your hands, Boss Lin." Jiao Yunda said.

"Young Master Jiao, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. This kind of thing is child’s play for me. Besides, Young Master Jiao has helped me out of jams before." Lin Mu laughed.

"Then I won’t be formal with you, Boss Lin. Let’s find a place to drink a few. Last time wasn’t satisfying enough. There’s a famous bar here with top-notch drinks!" Jiao Yunda suggested.

"Alright, let’s go then." Lin Mu agreed readily.

Lin Mu, Liu Yuye, and Jiao Yunda all got into the car and drove to the bar that Jiao Yunda often visited. They quickly reached the bar, and it was indeed quite elegant as expected, with the parking lot filled with luxury cars, rivaling Wancheng City’s luxury car shows! It was hard to find a car worth less than a million.

The car stopped, and the three got out together.

"Welcome!" The hostesses by the door, dressed in cheongsams and flaunting fair legs, called out in unison, bending over at a ninety-degree angle, seemingly just to give the guests a chance to casually glimpse at the substantial assets inside their garments!

Soon, a female supervisor from the main hall came over, smirking as she approached Jiao Yunda, "Ah, Young Master Jiao, what brings you here?"

"The southeast wind!" Jiao Yunda replied, suggesting he was a regular, "We need a relatively quiet VIP room for three, and bring out some VIP drinks."

"Got it, Young Master Jiao. I’ll arrange it for you." The manager nodded.

"Also, ask your Boss Zhong to come by. I have some friends to introduce him to." Jiao Yunda instructed.

"Sure, I’ll notify him." The female supervisor nodded.

Under the guidance of a cheongsam-clad waitress, Lin Mu and company headed upstairs to a luxurious VIP room.

Indeed, the VIP room was extravagant, clearly a space tailored for a regular like Jiao Yunda, judging from his tone earlier. The bar’s owner showed great respect toward Jiao Yunda; otherwise, they wouldn’t risk directly asking Boss Zhong to come over.

When the trio reached the VIP room, some staff brought in various fine wines and numerous fruits, neatly arranging them on the table.

Without Liu Yuye present, it would have been entirely acceptable to invite some ladies to accompany them, but with Liu Yuye, it was less appropriate.

Jiao Yunda opened the bottle, while Lin Mu poured a glass, "Come, Boss Lin, let’s have a drink first."

Lin Mu smiled, then lifted his glass and clinked it with Jiao Yunda’s, asking, "Young Master Jiao, who is this Boss Zhong?"

"Zhong Xin, the owner of this bar, is also quite influential in this area. I’d like his help with tonight’s operation. Since you’re acting tonight, we must ensure it goes unnoticed, and we need to mask what we’re doing..." Jiao Yunda whispered.

"You mean you want Zhong Xin to cover for me?" Lin Mu queried.

"Exactly, if the Wei family knows it’s your doing, it’ll affect the Flying Dragon Group. Even if they appear courteous during meetings later, they might secretly target you. So my idea is to prevent them from suspecting it’s you or linking the matter to you." Jiao Yunda explained.
