Chapter 785 802: Shen Ji Yang's Conspiracy
Of course, Huo Yanggen knew that Lin Mu wouldn't be easily fooled. Don't be deceived by their current camaraderie; in reality, both are carefully planning behind the scenes.Lin Mu has definitely been on high alert regarding the Heaven and Earth Society. It's not feasible to ease tensions with just a few words without taking any substantial actions!
Even if he did intend to transfer the control of Heaven and Earth Society, Lin Mu might not completely trust him. So, Huo Yanggen was contemplating whether or not to reveal this to him! In truth, Huo Yanggen no longer harbored any ulterior motives. Continuing a fight with Lin Mu, he didn't even believe that Heaven and Earth Society could win. He understood Lin Mu's terrifying capabilities better than anyone else!
He also trusted Lin Mu's character. Even if the major powers of Heaven and Earth Society were transferred to him, and he said it belonged to the Huo Family, it would undoubtedly remain so! While he was still torn, Huo Yanggen's phone rang!
Huo Yanggen glanced at the phone number displayed on his mobile and showed a meaningful smile on his face!
"Sect Leader Huo, was Chekov eliminated last night?" The voice on the phone was still a man's.
"Hmm, indeed, we underestimated Lin Mu's capabilities!" Huo Yanggen replied directly without hesitation.
"Then why didn't you tell me about this?" The man on the phone sounded displeased.
"Haha, why should I tell you? Are you my boss? Why must I, Huo Yanggen, listen to you? Please clear your current position!" Huo Yanggen replied bluntly, without accommodating the person on the other end.
"Huo Yanggen, don't speak to me in that tone, or I'll make you regret it!" The man's voice on the phone turned cold.
"Make me regret it? Then let's see what you think you can do to me. This is Huaxia, and specifically, in Wancheng, not the Tsar's territory, understand?" Huo Yanggen's voice also grew colder.
The man on the phone was silent for a moment, then softening his tone, "I ask you, why didn't you keep Chekov alive?"
"Haha, you're joking now. The situation was dire. It was hard enough to ensure my own survival. How could I protect an outsider? Did you make a mistake?" Huo Yanggen sneered.
"Huo Yanggen, Chekov was a person we painstakingly groomed to oversee Wancheng's drug line. And there wasn't a substitute for him. Do you know how much it cost to develop someone like him?" The man said coldly.
"So, you guys just regret the money spent on training, huh? If he got taken out, it proves his lack of ability. Why not just replace him with someone else then?" Huo Yanggen sneered.
"To be frank, Chekov wasn't our only asset in Wancheng. We have even stronger infiltration forces, so you'd better give us an explanation, or else..."
"Hehe, you're threatening me? What I, Huo Yanggen, detest most in my life is being threatened by others!"
"Fine, our collaboration ends here. Just wait and see!" The man said before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanggen slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke. Given the current situation, he had to rely on Lin Mu! It was precisely because of this call that Huo Yanggen made up his mind to wholeheartedly transfer the major powers in the gang to Lin Mu!
Thus, it was time for Huo Yanggen to show his sincerity! He picked up the phone and called Lin Mu, agreeing to meet in a private room at the Chang'an Hotel. Lin Mu received the call and smiled to himself. It seemed that Huo Yanggen was indeed a smart man and was finally ready to show his genuine intentions. So, Lin Mu gladly accepted Huo Yanggen's invitation.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Mu drove alone to Chang'an Hotel, found the pre-booked private room, and pushed the door open. Seeing Lin Mu arrive, Huo Yanggen quickly stood up to greet him, "Boss Lin, you're here!"
"Ah, Sect Leader Huo, no need to be so formal, please sit!" Lin Mu smiled.
Huo Yanggen called for a waiter, and good wine and delicious food quickly filled the table!
"Boss Lin, I asked you here today because there's something I'd like to report to you. But more than that, I want to show my sincere intentions from Huo." Huo Yanggen didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point because he knew Lin Mu was a smart man, and it was better to be direct with him.
"Hehe, Sect Leader Huo, just say what's on your mind. I absolutely believe Sect Leader Huo is sincere!" Lin Mu laughed softly, understanding the implications but pretending not to.
Huo Yanggen nodded and said, "Boss Lin, what I'm talking about is Director Shen, the Director Shen you've been in contact with. He's actually a member of the Tsar Organization, infiltrating the official organizations in Wancheng. Including the last operation, everything was discussed with Shen Ji Yang, including the bank transfer matter, which was learned from you. So he set up such a trap. I deliberately transferred a sum of money so you wouldn't suspect. Everything was orchestrated by Shen Ji Yang, including the first time you went to Xinyuan Dance Hall to make trouble, which was just an excuse for Director Shen to meet you!"
After hearing this, Lin Mu smiled slightly, "Oh, to be honest, I've already known about these."
"You already knew?" Huo Yanggen was somewhat incredulous, deeply shocked.
"Yes, I just didn't expose it. Didn't Shen Ji Yang tell you that only I would go? But in the end, all my subordinates showed up. These were all beyond your expectations!" Lin Mu smiled and said.
Huo Yanggen looked at Lin Mu, his admiration for him increasing. He had thought their plan was foolproof in dealing with Lin Mu, little knowing that the adversary had already seen through it! At the same time, Huo Yanggen secretly felt fortunate, understanding that Lin Mu's silence was merely to test his sincerity!
"Boss Lin is indeed extraordinary, truly admirable!" Huo Yanggen couldn't help but exclaim.
"Haha, nothing to admire, just a coincidence!
"Boss Lin, I'm curious, how did you find out about Shen Ji Yang? By right, Shen Ji Yang concealed himself well, and we've never met in person, only kept in contact by phone, not to mention he is the director of Wancheng West District, which makes it hard to raise suspicions." Huo Yanggen asked, puzzled.
"It was purely coincidental. When Shen Ji Yang notified me about the operation, I didn't suspect anything, haha!" Lin Mu laughed, glancing at the Copper Lion standing nearby, "Do you still remember Lin Xiaoshuai?"
Copper Lion standing at the back frowned, "Brother Lin, could it be that Lin Xiaoshuai is one of your people?"
"Hehe, no, that was me." Lin Mu laughed lightly.
"That was Brother Lin?" Copper Lion was even more confused, "How is that possible? The actions and demeanor are somewhat similar, but the appearance is entirely different!"
"The appearance is indeed different; I was just in disguise. At the time, I thought it prudent to gather some intelligence at your place. When I overheard one of Sect Leader Huo's calls, I felt something was off, so I kept a wary eye, prepared in advance. That's how it went!" Lin Mu explained.
