Chapter 1483 - 1498: Beware of Jiao Yunda

Chapter 1483: Chapter 1498: Beware of Jiao Yunda

Finally, both parties fulfilled their physiological needs, and Ah Fang drove Lin Mu back to the hotel. Ah Fang wanted Lin Mu’s phone number, but Lin Mu refused. Once or twice it’s still novel, but over time, it loses its charm. As the president of the Flying Dragon Group, Lin Mu is always surrounded by beautiful women. Even if he wants to sneak around, he can easily find fresher, more attractive partners rather than becoming some older woman’s plaything. Lin Mu certainly doesn’t like that feeling, so he refused without hesitation.

Just as Lin Mu got out of Ah Fang’s car, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and realized it was Sophie. Late at night, what’s Sophie calling for? Could it be that the big president is missing him so much that he can’t sleep?

"Haha, big president, are you missing me?" Lin Mu laughed as he answered the call.

"I was going to ask how your matter is going, but hearing your tone, I already know the answer." Sophie said.

"Haha, more or less sorted out. Xiaoxun is fine, but I still need to investigate what tricks this Meiwei Entertainment Company is playing. I think they can’t be that brain-dead and wouldn’t dare ride roughshod over me. I suspect they have some secret dealings, but I haven’t figured it out yet." Lin Mu said.

"Isn’t it clear? It’s obviously the unspoken rules of the entertainment circle!" Sophie said.

"Haha, it seems like unspoken rules, but I think it’s not that simple. They need to assess their own company’s ability. I’m sure there’s a big figure behind their company pulling the strings, and their so-called company president is just a decoy to divert attention." Lin Mu said.

"Are you overthinking?" Sophie said.

"Don’t worry, my Seventh Sense is always spot-on. Like when I just came to Wancheng, I had a hunch you’d become my wife, and now haven’t you become my wife?" Lin Mu laughed as he said.

"You’re such a tease." Sophie said angrily.

"By the way, do you know Liu Yuye?" Lin Mu casually asked.

"Liu Yuye? Yes, I do. How do you know her?" Sophie asked, puzzled.

"I just met her today. She mentioned you." Lin Mu said.

"Actually, we don’t have a deep connection, just collaborated on some small business deals. I don’t know her very well." Sophie said.

"Oh, here’s the thing, Jiao Yunda approached me for a collaboration on a project, so we got acquainted." Lin Mu said.

"Jiao Yunda? How did you end up getting connected with him?" Sophie asked, even more puzzled.

"Haha, it’s kind of a coincidence. An employee from Flying Dragon Film and Television was in a critical situation and was saved by Jiao Yunda. Later, we invited him for a drink as a thank you, where he brought up this matter. He wants to collaborate with me on a gold smuggling business. It’s about importing gold at a low price from the Stern family of England and selling at a high price domestically, where the spread can earn a hundred bucks." Lin Mu said.

Sophie thought for a while, "Do you think this is reliable?"

"Haha, it should be reliable." Lin Mu said.

"Do you remember Chen Shiwei?" Sophie asked.

"Chen Shiwei, of course I remember him. He was quite a big shot in Wancheng back in the day! But eventually, I got rid of him. It’s been so long, why are you bringing him up again?" Lin Mu asked, bewildered.

"You should know that Jiao Yunda and Chen Shiwei used to be close friends. I’m worried..."

"It’s been ages since that happened, you don’t have to worry." Lin Mu said.

Sophie pondered for a moment, "Alright, be careful, Jiao Yunda is not simple."

"Mmm, no worries, I have good judgment. Isn’t your brother quite sharp?!" Lin Mu laughed.

"You rascal." Sophie laughed.

"By the way, there’s something else." Lin Mu asked.

"What is it?" Sophie asked.

"Are you familiar with the Wei Family?" Lin Mu asked.

"I know a bit about the Wei Family. They are quite powerful industrialists in Longdu, evenly matched with the strong Jiao Family. But the relationship between the two families doesn’t seem to be good, why?" Sophie said, pondering and then asked.

"Today, Jiao Yunda clashed with Wei Rongcheng, and they actually had a big fight, both sides suffering. It was quite intense on the scene." Lin Mu grinned as he spoke.

"Even though the two families don’t get along, it shouldn’t have escalated to physical confrontation, why did it happen?" Sophie asked, puzzled.

"Haha, it’s quite a story. Jiao Yunda is interested in the gold business, and the Wei Family also wants in, as it’s the most lucrative and profitable deal. Everyone wants a piece. But in terms of business connections, the Wei Family has the edge, so Jiao Yunda wouldn’t be content. The most important aspect of the gold business is transport; safe transportation is the key. Therefore, the Wei Family secretly trained a group of specialists, and Jiao Yunda found out their whereabouts, so he asked me to help him remove the obstacles. Consequently, the Wei Family brought people for revenge, and it directly led to a battle." Lin Mu said.

"Did you intervene?" Sophie asked.

"It’s a collaborative business after all; just taking the money wouldn’t be right. So I gave Jiao Yunda a hand by getting rid of that batch of specialists." Lin Mu said.

Sophie thought for a while, "Don’t let Jiao Yunda use you as a pawn, alright!"

"Haha, don’t worry, I have good judgment. I’m not a fool. I do these things with purpose. Firstly, it counts as repaying a favor to Jiao Yunda, as he helped us Flying Dragon several times. One should be thankful for favors, right? Secondly, since we’re partners, we need results. That’s also what I should do." Lin Mu said.

Sophie agreed, "What you said is correct, just keep your boundaries. Anyway, Jiao Yunda is not easy to deal with."

"Haha, it’s alright, I understand." Lin Mu grinned and laughed.

"Good, I’ll also help you check on that Stern matter. It’s best to clarify everything with such things, otherwise blindly acting might bring trouble." Sophie said.

"Haha, then I’ll trouble the wife-president for her efforts!" Lin Mu grinned and laughed.

"Alright, I won’t chat anymore, it’s late, I need to rest and you should rest early too." Sophie yawned as she spoke.

"Mmm, rest early, don’t overwork. Like you, when will you ever reach the end of busy? Anyway, we’re not short of money. Even if you don’t work, and become a full-time housewife, I can still support you!" Lin Mu said.

"Stop it, I want to earn my own living, not relying on you men." Sophie said.

"Uh... even if you’re self-sufficient, your assets are enough for a lifetime of enjoyment."
