CHAPTER 410: CHAPTER 401: THE POWER OF CHEN SHIWEI

And in the underground world of Wancheng, as well as on both sides of the law, the fact that Lin Mu took down Han Si Hai has caused quite a stir. From then on, in the underground world of Wancheng, Lin Mu’s reputation soared. Taking on Han Si Hai and over thirty experts single-handedly isn’t something an ordinary person can do. Now, Lin Mu has become a legendary figure in the underground world!

With fame comes followers, so many gangs have come to admire and join under Lin Mu’s command. Of course, Lin Mu’s priority in recruitment is personal character and psychological quality; he doesn’t take cunning scoundrels. It’s better to have none than to have bad ones!

With this battle, Lin Mu has completely made a name for himself in the underground world of Wancheng. As people keep joining, Lin Mu’s manpower has significantly increased, filling the previously lacking areas! However, this is still not enough for Lin Mu’s ultimate ambition to unify the world. As his business continues to develop, the Flying Dragon Group still needs more fresh blood!

One morning, on the ninety-ninth floor of the Yunhai Mansion, in the president’s office, Lin Mu was sitting face to face with his beautiful CEO Sophie. Lin Mu was living the high life recently, having hogged all the limelight. Lin Mu had almost divided all the properties left by Han Si Hai, so now Lin Mu was somewhat like a wealthy lord, literally rolling in money.

"Wow Feifei, I didn’t expect you to be so farsighted. You actually planted people under Han Si Hai’s nose, though Han Si Hai wasn’t simple either, having so many experts under him!" Lin Mu unceremoniously grabbed a piece of pastry, acting as if he were at home, without the slightest politeness.

"Haha, those weren’t Han Si Hai’s people, they were Chen Shiwei’s!" Sophie replied with a graceful smile.

"Chen Shiwei’s people?"

"That’s right, you didn’t know, Han Si Hai’s real estate company was already handed over to Chen Shiwei in exchange for those thirty-plus experts, and of course Chen Shiwei also gave Han Si Hai that two billion in funds. With Han Si Hai dead, the entire real estate company is now completely controlled by Chen Shiwei!" Sophie said.

Lin Mu frowned, realizing why the real estate company’s stock was gradually recovering. It turns out there was such a story behind it. With Chen Shiwei’s current experience, taking over a real estate company midway is not too much of a challenge!

Got to say, Sophie is quite foresighted. If it weren’t for Sophie arranging an undercover under Chen Shiwei, who knows what kind of perilous situation might have arisen!

"And there’s another important thing. It’s heard that Chen Shiwei newly recruited two veteran strongmen as enforcers, probably targeting you, so you need to be cautious!"

"Oh?" Lin Mu was startled again; Chen Shiwei’s plans were never revealed to the outside world. Sophie, as a business queen, indeed had unique means, having grasped Chen Shiwei’s moves so clearly.

Lin Mu stroked his stubble, saying, "Looks like that old fox Chen Shiwei is not honest!"

"Haha, I’ve said before, Chen Shiwei is no simple character. His actual power is nothing like what he shows on the surface. Chen Shiwei likes to hide, preferring to play dumb to eat the tiger. The most crucial thing is Chen Shiwei likes to use his brain, unlike Han Si Hai, who is just a martial brute!" Sophie chuckled softly.

Chen Shiwei is indeed not simple. Lin Mu had perceived this long ago. Not only does he like to hide his strength, but he also likes to endure, never showing his emotions on his face. You can never guess what he’s thinking, and that’s the scariest part!

The easiest enemies to deal with are those whose psyche you can easily understand, like Han Si Hai, and clearly, Chen Shiwei isn’t one of those; he hides deeply!

Thinking back now, even comparing Chen Shiwei’s and Han Si Hai’s previous forces, Chen Shiwei had long surpassed Han Si Hai. However, initially, Chen Shiwei seemed indifferent to Han Si Hai’s constant targeting. If he had cared, it wouldn’t have been difficult for Chen Shiwei to eliminate Han Si Hai!

From Chen Shiwei’s endurance in the past, he’s clearly a complex character. Analyzing the current situation, despite Han Si Hai’s force having been apparently greater than Chen Shiwei’s before, this was not the reality. Chen Shiwei simply didn’t like to show it, liking to play dumb!

Lin Mu understood that the reason Chen Shiwei didn’t become enemies with Han Si Hai was because of Sophie. With the three powers in Wancheng checking each other, breaking this balance would surely result in endless conflict. Seeing this, Chen Shiwei knew that when clams fight, the fisherman reaps the benefit!

But now things are different. With Lin Mu’s rise and taking Han Si Hai’s place, even though Wancheng still presents a tripartite situation, this is entirely different from when Han Si Hai was around. According to the current situation, Sophie and Lin Mu are more like family, on the same page, even potentially becoming as close as sharing one pair of pants and one bed in the future!

This combination of two strong opponents is inevitably worrying for Chen Shiwei. It’s never favorable in a two-against-one situation, which is also why Chen Shiwei helped Han Si Hai so vigorously, not wanting to see this situation. This is Chen Shiwei’s foresight; he aims to be ahead of others in everything!

"Chen Shiwei, that clever monkey, I’ll get rid of him sooner or later!" Lin Mu crossed his legs and lit a cigarette, speaking.

"Haha, I still remind you of this: Chen Shiwei is not simple. His power is far stronger than he shows, so it’s better to be cautious!" Sophie reminded. In this, Sophie seems to have some deep insight, and who knows how many cards Sophie still holds?

"Oh! Got it. Currently, there’s no conflict of interest with Chen Shiwei, but it will happen soon. Sooner or later, I’ll fall out with him!" Lin Mu chuckled coldly. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female! This is precisely the principle here, while Lin Mu and Sophie are a true reflection of the latter saying!

Lin Mu and Chen Shiwei have many potential conflicts, such as the real estate company; who wouldn’t want a piece of the profitable business? But the profits are limited, and it’s a matter of allocation. Over competing for that share, Lin Mu and Chen Shiwei are sure to clash!

"So, what’s your next plan?" Sophie asked.

"To focus on developing my business, strengthening the Flying Dragon Group’s team, and of course, the most important thing!" Lin Mu said, glancing at Sophie.

"Oh? What’s that?" Sophie asked curiously.

"Oh! That’s preparing to marry you, of course. Now I can at least be considered a tall, rich, handsome guy!" Lin Mu grinned.

"You’re dreaming, though you have made progress, you still fall a bit short of my expectations. You took down Han Si Hai, but there’s an even more formidable character Chen Shiwei, who is much more difficult than Han Si Hai, as he generally won’t expose his weaknesses to you!" Sophie laughed.
