"Jue Qing, make the arrangents. Except for Chen Shiwei and Lin Mu, send everyone else a ’special gift.’ The kind that’s very special, you understand what I an, right?" Han Si Hai asked Jue Qing.
"Understood, Master Si!" Jue Qing nodded, took the list, and left the hall with the Poisonous Snake Four Brothers to handle the task assigned by Han Si Hai.
After Lin Mu paid the auction deposit at the South Asia Company, he returned to the City Hall. Based on his understanding of Han Si Hai, he was certain Han would pull so dirty tricks. What Lin Mu wanted to figure out more was that the person who secretly took Zheng Haonan’s millions would definitely participate!
Who is that person? Could it be that mysterious woman? That’s what truly piqued Lin Mu’s interest.
But to prevent unfair competition, the information of the participants in the auction is confidential, so Lin Mu must get it from Zhang Liugen to find out who that person is!
Earlier, because Chen Shiwei was also present, Lin Mu did not say much. Now Lin Mu returned to the City Hall and found Zhang Liugen again!
Lin Mu arrived at Zhang Liugen’s office and knocked on the door.
"Co in," Zhang Liugen responded from inside.
Lin Mu pushed the door open and walked in, smiling and greeting, "Haha, good day, Director Zhang!"
Zhang Liugen looked up at Lin Mu and frowned, "Aren’t you Lin Mu? Why are you back? Is there sothing you need?"
"I’ve already submitted the deposit and specifically ca back to discuss sothing with Director Zhang," Lin Mu said with a smile.
"What is it?"
Lin Mu walked over and sat down beside the sofa, saying, "I specifically ca to borrow the auction participant list for a look."
"Haha, sorry, this list is confidential per orders from above, and I am powerless," Zhang Liugen laughed and refused.
"Director Zhang, please make an exception. I’ll just take a look, and no one else will know."
Zhang Liugen gave Lin Mu a sidelong glance, cursing internally, "Hmph, you little punk! Even Han Si Hai had to fork out 200,000 to see that list, and you think you can see it for nothing? Even if you were my own father, I wouldn’t agree to it!"
"Sorry, I don’t have that authority!" Zhang Liugen said with a grim face, his attitude noticeably less friendly than before.
"Haha, is that so? Then how did you show it to Han Si Hai?" Lin Mu smiled.
Zhang Liugen frowned, lowering his voice, "What did you say?"
Lin Mu had only intended to scare him a bit, but seeing Zhang Liugen’s expression, Lin Mu quickly used his superpower "Seventh Sense" to scan Zhang Liugen, his eyes emitting two silver-gray beams piercing through Zhang Liugen’s mind, discovering a lot of murky dark matter inside. From this, Lin Mu knew he was right; Zhang Liugen, this corrupt official, had definitely been bribed by Han Si Hai and gave the Han Family what they wanted.
"Haha, Director Zhang, you know better than anyone what I’m saying!" Lin Mu coldly chuckled, hinting that he had seen through everything.
Zhang Liugen’s face darkened, resembling a dead man’s face. "Damn it! I just received 200,000, haven’t even ward it up, and already got caught by this kid. So people bla society for their bad luck, but really, it’s just bad fate!"
"I warn you, don’t go slandering people!" Zhang Liugen shouted at Lin Mu.
"Slander? Haha, if your conscience is clear, are you afraid of slander? Are you going to say Han Si Hai gave you money, and you didn’t take a cent? Or are you going to hand it over as public property?" Lin Mu laughed.
"You..."
Zhang Liugen glared at Lin Mu, seething with hatred. Revealing information might be a small matter, but accepting bribes is a big deal. If investigated, his career as a deputy director would be over, regressing overnight!
Lin Mu saw Zhang Liugen’s guilt and beca even more certain of his judgnt. Since Zhang had taken bribes, Lin Mu decided to go harder, taking out his phone and pretending.
"I have evidence of your conversations with Han Si Hai in here. To be honest, I’ve already made so moves on Han Si Hai. Haha, should I submit this recording to the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Lin Mu playfully eyed his opponent.
Zhang Liugen was practically on the verge of tears, thoroughly bluffed by Lin Mu. His previously arrogant deanor turned defeated, like an eggplant hit by frost, completely flustered on his turf.
"Haha, Director Zhang, don’t worry. There’s always room for negotiation. I haven’t handed it over yet, so your good days will continue, provided you follow my instructions!" Lin Mu chuckled.
Zhang Liugen sighed. With his weakness exposed, he had no choice but to comply, not wanting to lose his hard-earned position.
"What do you want?" Zhang Liugen sighed, conceding.
"Heh, that’s obedient. Give a copy of the detailed participant list for the auction," Lin Mu laughed.
"Alright, I’ll agree to that!" Zhang Liugen nodded, pulling up the list on his computer again.
"This is the current participant list!" After printing a copy, Zhang Liugen handed the list to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu took a look, noticing there were many people interested in this piece of at. However, Lin Mu wasn’t worried, knowing that since Han Si Hai also had a copy of this list, those people would naturally be dealt with by Han and that included himself. What kind of tricks would Han Si Hai use to deal with him?
Lin Mu’s eyes flickered as he quickly ca up with a plan to counter Han Si Hai, "Director Zhang, when is the registration deadline for this auction?" Lin Mu asked.
"Two days from now. After that, no more registrations accepted!" Zhang Liugen replied honestly.
Lin Mu nodded and stood up, "Alright then, Director Zhang, I won’t disturb you further. I’ll take my leave!"
After speaking, Lin Mu made his way out of the office, but just as he opened the door, Zhang Liugen called out to him.
"My... my recording, shouldn’t you give it back to ?" Zhang Liugen asked, stopping Lin Mu.
Lin Mu turned to see Zhang Liugen’s eager expression, inwardly cursing him a fool, knowing there was no such recording!
However, Lin Mu kept his deanor indifferent, threatening, "Heh, Director Zhang, no need to rush. I’ll keep the evidence for now, but don’t worry, as long as you behave, this recording won’t be made public. I have no reason to be at odds with you—after all, hurting others without benefiting oneself is not sothing I, Lin, would do!" Lin Mu chuckled as he suavely opened the door and walked out.
Zhang Liugen watched Lin Mu’s departing figure, a cold sweat already breaking out on his back. Damn, being an official feels like being a thief, always having to be cautious! Who knew when so misconduct of his would be exposed!
