Chapter 602 600: Catch Them All
Qi Shangjing glanced at Qi Manlin and said, "The position isn't high, but it gives you the power to mobilize the armed police team without needing to report to superiors anymore!"Qi Manlin was stunned upon hearing this. This was certainly better than holding a position in the city bureau. Clearly, Miss Qi now had much more power at her disposal than before!
Previously, Qi Manlin was just a civil servant, and although her position wasn't small, she had no military power. Now, Qi Manlin has become half a military officer, with command over forces!
So for Miss Qi, this reward was quite satisfactory. It straightened out the old conservative heart of Qi Shangjing and fulfilled Miss Qi's business needs, making it a win-win situation!
As for Chen Shiwei's case, because the evidence was solid, the verdict was delivered quickly, unsurprisingly resulting in a death sentence. After all, the adverse impact Chen Shiwei had on Wancheng was simply too great!
Chen Shiwei didn't just commit murder and arson, but also brought crises to the Wancheng economic circle and turmoil in the stock market. With these adverse impacts, it was impossible for the authorities to let Chen Shiwei live!
The people of Wancheng were watching every move of the authorities. A slight mistake could have significant repercussions, so Chen Shiwei's case had to be handled expeditiously and severely, reassuring the people of Wancheng quickly!
Similarly, Boloski's case also went to trial. Without exception, from Boloski down to the little followers, they were sentenced to death, life imprisonment, ten years, and three years respectively!
The sentences were given according to the severity of their crimes. Given the serious impact of these actions, the government demonstrated a strong stance of severe punishment with no leniency! Boloski and his associates received the punishment they deserved!
Moreover, on the day of the trial, people associated with the Tsar appeared. There was a man and a woman, as a lawyer must be present in death penalty cases, and this man and woman were responsible for Boloski's case!
Lin Mu was also present on the day of the trial and noticed the man and woman! Because it was highly likely that these two were associated with the Tsar, Lin Mu wanted to test this man and woman once the court session began!
Lin Mu sensed that these two were not ordinary, likely tough characters. However, after Lin Mu left the courthouse, he couldn't find any trace of them! Lin Mu searched around but found nothing, indicating the other party wanted to avoid conflict with him!
Lin Mu was a bit worried; by dealing with Boloski and others, the Tsar would remain in the shadows. Lin Mu had formed such an enmity by taking down one of their bases that they weren't likely to take it lying down!
Retaliation is certain, so Lin Mu was somewhat concerned! However, given the current situation, Wancheng was under a state of high alert. Foreigners were particularly subject to strict investigation, making retaliation not easy! It could be said that Wancheng's police were a protective shield for Flying Dragon! As for the future, that can be dealt with later!
For now, the Tsar would not take action; if he did, he would have to wait until things cooled down, unless he was out of his mind! Moreover, their base in Wancheng being eradicated must have affected them to some extent, so they would likely not target Lin Mu for the time being, either due to lack of preparation or insufficient strength!
However, Lin Mu felt that a grudge had formed between Flying Dragon and the Tsar because of the tea house or perhaps due to Chen Shiwei's matter, and there would eventually be a confrontation between them! As for the result, no one knew! Whether Flying Dragon is stronger or the Tsar is more rampant remains uncertain since the Tsar is in the shadows and far away in Russia!
Nevertheless, since his influence could infiltrate here, it was no ordinary matter, suggesting a large scale at the very least! However, Lin Mu was not afraid of him as Huaxia has a saying in the underworld: a mighty dragon cannot suppress a local serpent. Even if the Tsar's force is strong, he may not necessarily overpower Flying Dragon in Wancheng! As for the conflict between Flying Dragon and the Tsar, it would depend on when the Tsar invaded Wancheng!
The death sentence of Chen Shiwei brought many benefits to Lin Mu! First, there was the promise made by Liu Zhenyun: as long as Chen Shiwei was taken down, Lin Mu could acquire all of Liu's industries for fifty percent of the price! Secondly, what Lin Mu had long awaited, it seemed that Sophie once promised that if Chen Shiwei's force was eliminated, she would acknowledge Lin Mu as her fiancé! Two things that seemed the best of all! Suddenly, Lin Mu felt the world was truly beautiful!
Therefore, after solving Chen Shiwei's matter, Lin Mu immediately called Liu Zhenyun to discuss the matter. As for Sophie's case, there was no rush for now; only after finishing the complex official business would Lin Mu have the mindset to deal with his personal affairs!
Liu Zhenyun was shocked on the phone to learn that Lin Mu had eradicated Chen Shiwei, knowing well Chen Shiwei's strength. Lin Mu was indeed extraordinary! Lin Mu didn't directly propose to buy Liu's industry, only mentioning the elimination of Chen Shiwei and offered help if Liu's son's treatment hadn't been effective!
Liu Zhenyun, being a smart man, naturally understood Lin Mu's implication! However, as long as his son's life could be saved, money was of no concern, especially since he had already promised Lin Mu! For a real man, fulfilling promises was imperative!
Liu Zhenyun immediately expressed over the phone that he would return as soon as possible and also confirmed that previous promises would be fulfilled, urging Lin Mu to prepare the funds. A conservative estimate suggested that thirty billion would be needed to purchase Liu's enterprises, though a realistic valuation would peg it at least sixty billion!
This meant Lin Mu would exchange thirty billion to acquire Liu Zhenyun's sixty-billion industry! The most important aspect wasn't the assets but the already established company structure. Building a company is easy, but shaping it into a functional entity takes time and effort!
Now Lin Mu got a ready-made company, with the company remaining as it was and the staff unchanged, only changing the legal representative—from Liu Group to Flying Dragon Group. This not only saved money but also time and effort, and the profits brought by the company would be evident within a year! A conservative estimate would be at least five billion.
Of course, Lin Mu's efforts were substantial, racking his brains and going through all the trouble to eliminate Chen Shiwei, also antagonizing an unknown powerful Tsar! Gains are always accompanied by efforts, an unchanging truth—there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The tens of billions of profits Lin Mu acquired were also earned through his endeavors!
Transferring all his assets to Lin Mu wasn't too harsh a deal for Liu Zhenyun either; thirty billion was enough for Liu Zhenyun and his son to live lavishly for a lifetime, and with Liu Zhenyun's intelligence, assisting Liu Zhipeng in developing a career wouldn't be a problem!
As long as Liu Zhipeng could be saved, offering Lin Mu thirty billion could be considered worthwhile, because Liu Zhipeng was the only child of the Yang Family. If he became a vegetative state, the Yang Family would be doomed, no matter how much money they had, what use would it be!
