"Haha, the old man is indeed a master on the street, but let make it clear, my price was also forced by the employer, I have no choice but to demand double compensation. Since you don’t want to pay, sorry, we’ll have to deal with your son ourselves!" Lin Mu said with a laugh, giving Shen Gongbao no chance to refute.
Shen Yiyin is Shen Gongbao’s son after all, and Lin Mu didn’t believe he could be heartless to that extent! Of course, even taking Shen Yiyin back wouldn’t help, at most it would ss up a few of his bars, which is not worth five or six million, so Lin Mu was betting on Shen Gongbao!
"Dad! I’m begging..." Shen Yiyin looked at Shen Gongbao with a pleading expression.
The three of them each had their own thoughts now, Lin Mu was gambling, Shen Yiyin was pinning his hopes on Shen Gongbao, while Shen Gongbao pinned his last hopes on his eldest son, Shen Yijin.
Only if Shen Yijin brought people could they possibly handle Lin Mu. If he disregarded it, he would have to cough up the money!
With his current manpower and strength, he was definitely no match for Lin Mu. Even masters like Blood Kill and Du Zhan were defeated by Lin Mu, showing how formidable Lin Mu’s skills were!
Shen Gongbao was an old hand in the underworld, knowing not to completely sever ties, because if things turned ugly, it would be bad for everyone in the end!
"Brother, I’ll be honest, I can’t co up with such a huge amount of 150 million, but you can wait for my eldest son Shen Yijin. Maybe he can co up with part of the money, and combined with my share, it might be close!" Shen Gongbao said.
Shen Gongbao said this to stabilize Lin Mu for now, because he had no bargaining chips. Once Shen Yijin arrived, he’d naturally have so leverage, and could negotiate the price down with confidence!
"Haha, alright, I’ll wait then. I’m not in a hurry, my goal is just to get the money!" Lin Mu replied with a smile.
Shen Gongbao’s tactic was within Lin Mu’s expectations. Lin Mu had heard of Shen Yijin, who was a leading figure on Zhujiang Island. Unlike Shen Yiyin, Shen Yijin’s rise was entirely due to his own abilities, not the family’s power.
Lin Mu sincerely admired such a person. As for soone like Shen Yiyin, once outside the Shen Clan’s protective shadow, he wouldn’t even be considered a ****!
In a huge bar in the heart of Zhujiang Island’s city center, a man with sharp features and a determined look sat at the bar drinking!
"Young Master Jin, Uncle Shen is here!" A middle-aged man with a crew cut walked past the dance floor and whispered in the man’s ear.
The man holding the glass was Shen Yijin, the eldest son of Shen Gongbao, and the bar was just one of Shen Yijin’s many businesses!
"Uncle Shen? What’s he here for?" Shen Yijin frowned and asked.
"Young Master Jin, it seems sothing happened on the old man’s side, and he’s here to ask for your help," the man said softly in front of Shen Yiyin, knowing that Shen Yijin and the Shen Family patriarch didn’t get along well.
Shen Yijin’s eyes flickered for a mont, then he beca indifferent again. "Haha, what does the Shen Family’s troubles have to do with ? I broke off from the Shen Family long ago, their life or death ans nothing to ."
"Young Master Jin, what if it’s sothing big? You know the old man’s temper. He wouldn’t co to you for help unless it was serious. Whether you help or not, at least listen to what it is, right?" the man advised beside Shen Yijin.
Shen Yijin thought for a mont, then nodded, "King Kong, bring Uncle Shen to my office."
"Yes!" The man nad King Kong nodded.
King Kong was a reliable lieutenant under Shen Yijin. Earlier, he served in Huaxia’s special forces, later getting involved in the underworld. As misfortune would have it, during a vendetta, Shen Yijin happened to help him out of a deadly situation. At the ti, Shen Yijin was just starting his career, so King Kong used his skills to aid Shen Yijin in his endeavors, gradually becoming a major force behind Shen Yijin’s rise to supremacy on Zhujiang Island.
Their relationship wasn’t rely one of superior and subordinate, but more like brothers. Shen Yijin never treated King Kong as just a subordinate, often heeding his advice. This was the difference between Shen Yijin and Shen Yiyin. Shen Yiyin treated his subordinates like dogs, while Shen Yijin treated his like brothers. Birds of a feather flock together, so Shen Yijin’s power only grew, eventually surpassing his father, Shen Gongbao.
Shen Yijin downed the alcohol in his glass, then rose to head to his office. Honestly, although he had cut ties with the Shen Family, they still mattered to him, especially Shen Gongbao, who was his most admired father from childhood!
But because of this most admired father, he ultimately abandoned Shen Yijin’s mother to marry another woman, creating an impassable rift between Shen Yijin and Shen Gongbao!
After a while, there was a knock on the door of Shen Yijin’s office!
"Co in!"
Shen Yijin quickly recovered from his mories and responded from inside, already guessing who it was. The office door opened, and King Kong brought Uncle Shen in from outside.
"Uncle Shen!" Shen Yijin smiled. Although Uncle Shen was the Shen Family’s butler, he had taken great care of Shen Yijin since childhood. Therefore, in Shen Yijin’s mind, Uncle Shen held a high position. Moreover, even when Shen Yijin was young, Uncle Shen was already following Shen Gongbao, a mory that remained vivid for Shen Yijin, as even his martial arts were taught by Uncle Shen!
So Shen Yijin had a good relationship with Uncle Shen from a young age, viewing him as half a ntor!
Uncle Shen smiled back when he saw Shen Yijin. "Young Master, it’s been a long ti."
"Thank you, Uncle Shen. Please, have a seat," Shen Yijin asked politely.
"Young Master, I’ve co this ti to ask for your help! The matter is urgent, so I’ll be brief. The old man sent to ask you to return. The Shen Family is in serious trouble." Uncle Shen’s expression turned solemn.
"Oh? Haha, on Zhujiang Island, who would dare stir trouble for the Shen Family?" Shen Yijin said with a laugh, as if hearing a joke.
"Sigh, it’s all because of the Second Young Master’s ss. A few days ago, he made a big deal at sea for soone, and now they’ve co knocking. The opponents are formidable, and I fear the old man can’t handle it!" Uncle Shen explained.
"Yiyin? Haha, isn’t he Dad’s cherished treasure? What he does shouldn’t require , the elder brother, to clean up after him, right? Isn’t my dad supposed to be invincible? Let him deal with it, I’m not getting involved!" Shen Yijin directly refused.
Uncle Shen glanced at Shen Yijin. He understood Shen Yijin’s feelings because the old man was biased, always favoring the second son and ruthlessly kicking the eldest out of the house. Anyone would feel aggrieved at this treatnt! Ignored in normal tis but sollicited during crises, who wouldn’t refuse?
