CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 421

At this moment, Su Jinzhi was fuming with anger. She hadn’t expected Lin Mu’s prediction to be so accurate. Tonight, Huang Wenhai had asked her over just to make those shameless demands, completely disregarding the project matters!

Given Su Jinzhi’s personality and background, along with her husband being the party secretary of the city, how could she sell her body for such a thing? The Qi Family has never been short of money. Sure, five billion is tempting, but Su Jinzhi would never sell her flesh for it. If she did, how could she face her husband and daughter? Truth be told, even without engaging in real estate, her family’s wealth ensures they live comfortably without worrying about food or clothing!

Slap! A crisp slap was heard. When Huang Wenhai’s filthy hands sneaked into Su Jinzhi’s clothes, she turned around and slapped his oily, powdered face. The slap was so damn clean and efficient, and it relieved her anger tremendously, leaving Huang Wenhai completely bewildered. This old woman really was headstrong.

"You bitch, what are you pretending for? If you’re going to act pure, don’t mess around in the real estate world!" Huang Wenhai stood up angrily and said.

Su Jinzhi’s stubborn streak had clearly kicked in by now. She glared at Huang Wenhai and picked up a glass of juice from the table, throwing it at his face. Director Huang’s face was instantly drenched, looking extremely ridiculous!

Before coming for dinner, Huang Wenhai had reserved the entire three-story restaurant to create a romantic atmosphere, banning outsiders. So there were no other guests or waitstaff in the restaurant. Huang Wenhai initially thought it would make it easier for him to make his move. Now, not only did things not go his way, but he also got slapped by Su Jinzhi, which made the consistently arrogant and domineering Director Huang furious.

"Fuck your mother!" Huang Wenhai cursed, raised his palm, and swung it towards Su Jinzhi’s face. But just as the palm was in mid-air, something unexpected happened, and it stopped dead in its tracks.

"Hey! Director Huang, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for a grown man to lay hands on a woman?" A magnetic voice sounded behind Huang Wenhai as he felt his hand being gripped like it was caught in a vice!

Huang Wenhai turned to look and saw a young man clutching his right hand, looking at him with a devilish smile. This young man was someone Huang Wenhai knew, a youthful entrepreneur who had recently been making waves in Wancheng — Lin Mu.

While Huang Wenhai was indeed part of the city leadership team and had crossed paths with Lin Mu before, Director Huang wasn’t foolish. He quickly grasped that Su Jinzhi and Lin Mu were in cahoots and had been prepared all along. Although Lin Mu was a businessman and a favorite among city leaders, Huang Wenhai didn’t care. Even if Lin Mu was thriving in the business world, in the political arena or in front of him, Director Huang deemed him nothing more than child’s play!

"Damn it, what’s it to you? Get lost!" Huang Wenhai cursed, now even more enraged, seemingly gearing up to fight.

Lin Mu ignored Huang Wenhai and instead grinned at Su Jinzhi, "Auntie, are you okay?"

"I’m fine!" Su Jinzhi shook her head in reply.

"Glad to hear that. I’ve said it all along — this scumbag had no good intentions inviting you here. What a damn disgrace to the bureaucracy!" Lin Mu spat a remark at Huang Wenhai.

Looking at Lin Mu, Huang Wenhai, ignoring his own status, raised his other hand to strike. The high-ranking city official now resembled a thug leader. But before Huang Wenhai’s fist could rise, Lin Mu slightly squeezed his wrist, and Huang Wenhai yelled in pain, feeling as though his wrist might break!

"What now? Director Huang wants to hit someone? Aren’t you afraid of losing face?" Lin Mu said, gripping Huang Wenhai’s hand.

Huang Wenhai glared at Lin Mu. He had never been humiliated like this before. Since entering politics, he had always dealt with others as he pleased. Never had anyone dared to rebel against him. Yet Lin Mu was actually putting him in his place. Wasn’t he Director Huang, the respected director of the city’s construction bureau, someone of significant stature in Wancheng? Wasn’t everyone supposed to be flattering him? And now, someone with no sense of propriety dared to defy him!

For the average businessman, Huang Wenhai, as director of the construction bureau, wielded control over the city’s construction planning and was someone real estate companies would vie to curry favor with. Offending him was out of the question. But Lin Mu was different. Since he had resolved to support the Liu Group, there was no need to abase themselves to placate him. Who cares how high-ranking he is? If he pisses you off, slap him in the face!

"Damn it, let me go, or I’ll skin you alive!" Huang Wenhai glared at Lin Mu and tried desperately to break free, but to no avail; Lin Mu’s grasp was like a giant pair of pliers, impossible to shake off!

Lin Mu looked at Huang Wenhai, sneering, "Scum like you, a disgrace in the bureaucracy, your only purpose for living is to waste food. As a member of Wancheng, I ought to handle you on behalf of the Wancheng City Citizens!

Lin Mu said this and then kicked Huang Wenhai in the abdomen. Huang Wenhai’s portly body was knocked to the ground by Lin Mu and rolled away like a ball!

This was the first time Director Huang had ever been struck. Naturally, for Lin Mu to kick Huang Wenhai to the ground made him the first in Wancheng. With Huang Wenhai being a major official within the city leadership team and a deputy department-level cadre, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to strike him even with a lot of nerve!

Even Su Jinzhi, standing by, was dumbfounded, never expecting Lin Mu to be so bold as to strike Huang Wenhai. However, with Lin Mu making a move, Su Jinzhi’s hopes were now completely dashed. The project in Situong Town was utterly ruined, not to mention they had completely offended this prominent leader, making it unlikely to continue operating in Wancheng ever again!

Lin Mu took out a cigarette and lit it, walking over to Huang Wenhai like a small-time hooligan, blowing smoke at him and kicking him a few times!

"Try showing off again, and I’ll kill you!" Lin Mu said, blowing out smoke.

Lying on the ground, Huang Wenhai glared at Lin Mu, never imagining that Lin Mu would have the audacity to humiliate a director like this. He must have a death wish!

Of course, Lin Mu had his reasons for striking. Besides the incident of hitting Huang Wenhai, the fact that Huang Wenhai and Su Jinzhi were having a private dinner couldn’t be explained away. As a city leader and senior official in Wancheng, if such an incident went public, it would be indefensible, and his position as director wouldn’t be safe!

So Lin Mu was certain that Huang Wenhai wouldn’t dare to call the police. This was a silent loss that Huang Wenhai had to swallow. Even if he wanted revenge in secret, hah, let’s not forget where Lin Mu came from. Why would someone in bare feet be afraid of someone wearing shoes?
