Chapter 501: Despicable to the Core!
"You..."
Lin Mu’s words made the faces of Yu Fei and the others change. This guy truly had a vicious tongue.
The woman named Ya Wen took off her sunglasses and said coldly, "It seems the online rumors are true. Coiling Dragon Bay really is a den of filth; even the boss is this malicious."
Wen Xiaojuan also chimed in, "Ya Wen, what’s the point of talking to this kind of person? Just wait and see how he plans to get out of this."
Zhu Yawen nodded. "Exactly. The real show is about to begin."
Yu Fei even laughed. "Miss Zhu is right. With your company’s capabilities, I’m sure you’ve already gathered plenty of evidence, right?"
"Of course." Zhu Yawen smiled. "Come on, set up the big screen for me. Today, I’m going to expose the evil deeds of the boss of Coiling Dragon Bay and let the whole world see that this place is nothing but a den of thieves!"
A few people carried over a large screen and began to set it up.
"Well now, Ya Wen, it looks like you’re all prepared."
Wang Yu had arrived, puffing on a cigar with a face brimming with smugness.
"Director Wang! What brings you here?" Upon seeing Wang Yu, Zhu Yawen curled her lips into a smile.
Although Wang Yu was only a director at the television station, he was a member of the Wang Family. In Jiangling, he wielded significant power. Even Zhu Yawen’s media company depended on Wang Yu to survive. This time, she was the muscle Wang Yu had brought in to completely destroy Lin Mu’s reputation.
"Just came to have a look." Wang Yu chuckled. When he saw Lin Mu, his eyes narrowed. "So, you’re Lin Mu? The owner of Coiling Dragon Bay?"
The disdain for Lin Mu was audible in Wang Yu’s tone.
"Spit it out or get lost!" Lin Mu didn’t even bother to glance at Wang Yu. He couldn’t be bothered with such a minor character.
"Lin Mu, don’t be so impudent!" Before Wang Yu could even speak, Yu Fei erupted in anger.
He pointed at Lin Mu and declared, "If you want to keep getting by in Jiangling, you’d better kneel and apologize to Young Master Wang right now. It’s not too late to avoid regret. Otherwise, Young Master Wang could crush you with a single finger!"
"You can’t even begin to imagine Young Master Wang’s power!"
Yu Fei certainly knew who Wang Yu was. The Wang Family Clan held immense influence in Jiangling. He had come today specifically because he heard Wang Yu would be here, hoping to curry favor and establish a connection with the Wang Family.
As expected, upon hearing Yu Fei’s words, Wang Yu nodded in satisfaction. "You’re Boss Yu’s son, right? We should collaborate sometime."
Yu Fei was overjoyed. "Thank you so much, Young Master Wang! Here’s my business card. Please feel free to call on me for anything at all."
Yu Fei respectfully offered his business card. Wang Yu glanced at it before taking it. "Very good, not bad at all." He thought this Yu Fei was quite sensible and might be worth taking care of in the future.
Seeing Wang Yu accept his card made Yu Fei even more ecstatic. Noticing that Lin Mu was still just standing there, he barked, "Lin Mu, what are you spacing out for? Get on your knees and apologize now!"
Previously, Yu Fei would never have dared to speak to Lin Mu this way. But things were different now. He, Yu Fei, had powerful backing. Besides, they had all come today to witness Lin Mu’s downfall. When a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push. Lin Mu had only himself to blame for his current predicament. Who told him to humiliate me like that in the first place! At this moment, Yu Fei’s heart swelled with the sweet pleasure of revenge.
Hearing Yu Fei’s words, Lin Mu laughed. With a disdainful sneer, he said, "Yu Fei, since when did you enjoy being someone’s dog? And you’re so proud of it, too. Who gave you the audacity?"
"Young Master Wang gave it to me, of course." Far from being ashamed, Yu Fei was filled with pride, stating arrogantly, "You have no idea what Young Master Wang’s status in Jiangling is. So don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you know what’s good for you, kneel and apologize to Young Master Wang right now. You’ll also hand over the property management rights of Coiling Dragon Bay to me. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what?" The smile vanished from Lin Mu’s face. He hadn’t expected Yu Fei to be so utterly shameless.
Lin Mu stood up, slowly stretching his limbs.
"Otherwise what?" Yu Fei sneered coldly. "Naturally, you’ll be driven out of Jiangling. Now that you’ve offended Young Master Wang, your good days are over!"
"I see," Lin Mu nodded. "And then?"
Seeing Lin Mu walk toward him, Yu Fei felt a wave of inexplicable panic and took a step back. "What are you trying to do? I’m telling you, I’m with Young Master Wang now, and Miss Zhu is a journalist! If you dare to touch me, I guarantee everyone along the Han River will know that you, Lin Mu, are nothing but a common thug!"
With a journalist present, Yu Fei was certain Lin Mu wouldn’t dare to get violent. Sure enough, Zhu Yawen had already set up the big screen and was pointing her camera right at Lin Mu. The moment he made a move, it would be broadcast live.
"To hell with you!"
However, Lin Mu’s figure blurred. He appeared in front of Yu Fei and sent a backhanded slap across his face.
"ARGH!"
Yu Fei screamed, flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, unconscious.
Everyone else was stunned. They hadn’t expected Lin Mu to actually hit someone, especially not in front of a journalist.
"Lin Mu, you dared to strike someone! You’re dead meat!" Wang Yu, however, was ecstatic. Lin Mu had assaulted someone in public, and it was all being broadcast live.
"Quick, film it!" Wang Yu sneered. "Kid, just watch how I destroy you!"
"I hit him. So what?" Lin Mu scoffed. "Never mind him, I’d dare to hit you too!"
"Let them film!"
As the words left his mouth, Lin Mu slapped Wang Yu across the face.
"You..." Wang Yu clutched his cheek, staring at Lin Mu in disbelief. "You dare hit me? You actually dared to hit me?"
"You brought this farce to my doorstep. Why wouldn’t I hit you?" Lin Mu slapped him again, sending a few of Wang Yu’s teeth flying.
"I’ve never seen someone so contemptible. I haven’t even gone after your Wang Family yet, and here you are, serving yourself up on a platter to be beaten. Are you a masochist?" With each sentence, Lin Mu delivered another slap to Wang Yu’s face.
After several consecutive slaps, most of Wang Yu’s teeth were gone. Wang Yu himself was in utter shock that Lin Mu would still dare to hit him at a time like this.
The others were scared into silence, not daring to even breathe. Gu Jie, Peng Qin, and Wen Xiaojuan stared at Lin Mu in horror. This guy’s attacks were vicious! Look at what he had done to Wang Yu.
"You..." Wang Yu, holding his bloodied face, spat with venomous hatred, "Your name is Lin, right? You’re finished! I guarantee it, you’re finished!"
Pulling out his phone, Wang Yu bellowed, "Film everything here at Coiling Dragon Bay! Put it all online! I’m going to make Coiling Dragon Bay the most infamous property in all of Jiangling! We’ll see who dares to buy a house here then!"
"Go right ahead," Lin Mu laughed. "Make sure you get a good shot. If you do a bad job, I’ll hit you again!"
This was a perfect opportunity for publicity, one Lin Mu couldn’t have asked for. And this Wang Yu was the very definition of a glutton for punishment.
