Chapter 322: Who Dances in the Sky with Colorful Ribbon!
Divine Doctor!
Lord Miao King!
Master Lin!
These titles, one after another, emanating from the mouths of these powerful men, made every member of the Qin Family feel as if they were standing in a freezing wind, chilled to the bone.
All eyes converged on Lin Mu.
He was the Divine Doctor; everyone knew that. But Lord Miao King? What did that mean? And where did Master Lin come from?
Question marks flooded everyone’s minds. They were dying to crack open Lin Mu’s head and find the answers within. At this moment, however, no one dared to speak. Even their breathing grew subconsciously fainter. The scene before them was simply too astonishing.
Fifty corporate bosses and dozens of River City’s most powerful figures were all kneeling before them. There were easily over a hundred people! The spectacle was magnificent, yet what they saw on the faces of these kneeling men was pure terror. It was the despair of those facing imminent death.
Qin Luoli’s beautiful eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing. She recognized Huang Tianxiang, who had just been thoroughly humiliated by Lin Mu earlier today, even having her company acquired. She knew Qiao Tianhao, the richest man in River City! And there were the chairmen of East China Technology and Xinglong Real Estate, Patriarch Fan of the Fan family...
Each one was a titan in their respective field. These people were all old foxes of the business world, celebrities who often appeared on television and in magazines. But now, all of them were groveling before Lin Mu like dogs, begging for their lives.
Qin Luoli could understand Huang Tianxiang’s actions. She could even understand Qiao Tianhao’s. But how on earth had Lin Mu done this? The chairmen of East China Technology, Xinglong Real Estate, Patriarch Fan... although they had business dealings with the Qin Corporation, and many of the recently canceled orders were theirs, how had Lin Mu gathered them all here and forced them to their knees?
This is impossible to understand! Completely impenetrable!
Qin Hongbo’s face was ashen, and his whole body trembled. Qin Hongshu’s limbs were so weak that he had to be supported by Qin Yan. The Old Madam’s lips quivered, as if she wanted to speak but couldn’t find the words. The entire Qin Family was petrified, with no one daring to utter a sound.
"Master, how should we deal with these people?" Li Xiaotian asked, holding the Heavenly Punishment Blade, his very being emanating a murderous intent. No one doubted that if Lin Mu gave the word, he would decapitate several of them without the slightest hesitation.
"Lord Miao King, please don’t kill me! Don’t kill me, I beg you!" Huang Tianxiang crawled forward, her swollen face a mask of terror. She sobbed, "I was blind! I never should have taken advantage of the situation to target the Qin Corporation. Please, I beg you, spare my worthless life..."
Everyone was left speechless by Huang Tianxiang’s pitiful pleas. They recognized this powerful businesswoman of River City, known for being domineering and ruthless. Yet here she was, begging for mercy from a live-in son-in-law of the Qin Family.
"Lord... Lord Miao King, please, don’t kill me, please..." Seeing Lin Mu’s silence, Huang Tianxiang grew even more terrified, her face a mess of tears and snot.
"Huang Tianxiang, do you admit your guilt?" Lin Mu asked, stepping forward and looking down at her with an indifferent gaze.
"I do, I admit it!" Huang Tianxiang kowtowed frantically, her voice filled with regret. "I was wrong, Lord Miao King! I truly know that I was wrong."
Huang Tianxiang was consumed with regret. She must have been blinded by greed to have ever targeted the Qin Corporation.
"Since you admit your guilt, you know what to do," Lin Mu said, his tone devoid of any emotion.
"I know, I know." Huang Tianxiang hastily produced several documents and handed them to Lin Mu. "This is the share transfer contract for Tianxiang Group. I... I will unconditionally transfer all my shares to President Qin Luoli!"
As soon as her words fell, the crowd gasped in shock. The Tianxiang Group was nearly as powerful as the Qin Corporation. And now, Huang Tianxiang was giving all of it away? To Qin Luoli?
"You’re smarter than you look," Lin Mu said with a faint smile. "Is there anything else?"
Huang Tianxiang shuddered. She glanced up at the Qin Family and gave a bitter smile. "No, there’s nothing... Ugh!"
Suddenly, she let out a pained groan. A trickle of black blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she collapsed limply to the ground.
Dead!
People cried out in shock. Huang Tianxiang was dead!
"Auntie..." Kneeling nearby, Huang Wei was so frightened that his limbs gave out. He collapsed to the ground and began convulsing.
"He’s gone mad!" someone shouted.
"Master, the woman took poison," Li Xiaotian reported after a quick inspection.
"If she’s dead, she’s dead. An insignificant pawn," Lin Mu said dismissively. He then turned his head to glance at Qin Ming, a meaningful smile on his face.
Qin Ming maintained his own smile until Lin Mu turned away. Then, his smile vanished, and a grim shadow fell over his eyes.
"Divine Doctor, here is thirty percent of East China Technology’s shares," the president of the company stammered, holding out a contract. "I-I will unconditionally transfer them to President Qin. I hope the Divine Doctor will be magnanimous and not extend his anger to the Hua family..."
"This is a property from Xinglong Real Estate. From today on, it belongs to the Qin Corporation..."
"This is..."
Following Huang Tianxiang’s death, the powerful figures kneeling on the ground began presenting their own shares and properties, offering them all unconditionally to the Qin Corporation or Qin Luoli.
Witnessing this, the members of the Qin Family were too shocked to speak. They had gone numb.
Looking at the bosses holding out their contracts, Lin Mu said coolly, "Take them all."
Li Xiaotian collected the contracts and presented them to Qin Luoli. "Madam, please review these. If you’re not satisfied, I’ll have them offer more."
Qin Luoli was stunned. Staring at the dozens of contracts before her, she felt weak in the knees.
Lin Mu smiled gently. "Take them. You’ve earned it."
"But..." Qin Luoli hesitated. These were other people’s assets, after all.
"Rest assured, Madam," Li Xiaotian said. "These men are hardly saints. The recent crisis at the Qin Corporation was instigated by someone pulling strings, and they fanned the flames from behind the scenes, causing your company to suffer great losses!" His voice turned sharp with killing intent. "If you ask me, even if we made them hand over all their assets, I’d like to see who would dare say no!"
Li Xiaotian’s murderous words made those bigwigs who still harbored some reluctance cry out that they wouldn’t dare object.
"Just take the contracts for now," Lin Mu told Qin Luoli, before turning back to the crowd. His cold voice fell clearly into every person’s ear. "I just needed to see their attitude."
"No one bullies my woman! I won’t allow her to suffer even the slightest grievance! If one person bullies her, I will eradicate that person. If ten people bully her, I will eradicate all ten!"
In that moment, Lin Mu was dominant and overbearing, like an unsheathed sword, daring to face any foe in the world!
Everyone present, whether kneeling or standing, did not dare to look directly at that imposing figure.
Qin Luoli’s beautiful eyes shone brightly, her heart swelling with emotion and happiness.
Staring at his back, a line of poetry surfaced in her mind: Who dances through the sky with colorful ribbons? Who stands atop the tide to sing of great winds?
It was him.
Lin Mu.
Her man.
