NOVEL NEXT Chapter 506: The Concept of the Film City
Now that Ren Xuebai has ended up like this, staying alive is useless for Lin Mu. Of course, Lin Mu directly taking out Right Army also had another reason, which was somewhat to save a life for Ren Xuebai!
If Right Army were sent to the police station, it would definitely implicate Ren Xuebai. Since Ren Xuebai is already crippled, becoming a lame man, there's no need for him to spend the rest of his life in prison. After all, he is Elder Ren's biological son. It was already not easy for Elder Ren to make this decision. Both sides feel like flesh to him; try to make Elder Ren feel a bit better, and reduce the cost that Ren Xuebai has to pay.
Moreover, Right Army deserved to die, killing his own woman, Lin Mu could only give him one outcome, which is death. Therefore, no matter what, both emotionally and rationally, Right Army must die!
A killer like Right Army, taking him out could be seen as removing a pest from society. If not killed, who knows how many more would die at his hands!
The assassination of Zhou Xun has been resolved. The reason is straightforward, it was all about money. There wasn't any deep-seated hatred between Ren Xuebai and Zhou Xun. It was mainly because Elder Ren tried to compensate Zhou Xun for the years of suffering by transferring assets worth over two billion to her, which caused Ren Xuebai's dissatisfaction, leading to a series of events.
For this incident, Ren Xuebai received due punishment, with Lin Mu crippling his legs, making him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. This way, there will be no more threat to Zhou Xun. As for how Elder Ren will arrange things for Ren Xuebai, that's their Ren Family's internal affair!
Lin Mu is sure that Elder Ren wouldn't keep him in Wancheng anymore. Maybe they will find a peaceful place to ensure he has enough to eat and wear and provide for him in his old age. Anyway, with the Ren Family's massive wealth, supporting a hundred Ren Xuebaos for a hundred years is more than enough!
"Earth Wolf, clean up Right Army's body. I'll call the old man!" Lin Mu instructed Earth Wolf.
Earth Wolf nodded, starting to tidy the scene, while Lin Mu stepped aside, took out his phone, and called the old man.
"Lin Mu, how did the matter go?" Elder Ren asked over the phone, evidently a bit worried.
"Don't worry, the matter has been settled!" Lin Mu replied.
"What about Ren Xuebai?"
"Ren Xuebai has been crippled by me. He will have to spend his lifetime in a wheelchair. Right Army has been killed by me, and this matter has calmed down!" Lin Mu reported.
Ren Xuebai was crippled, Right Army was killed. This result was quite favorable, reducing the harm to Ren Xuebai to the minimum. Otherwise, Ren Xuebai might have ended up like Right Army. Now Ren Xuebai just can't walk, once recovered, he can eat and drink as usual, just unable to walk again, sparing him from harming others and eventually himself!
Elder Ren sighed when he heard Lin Mu's account and said, "That's good then. Now he can't harm Xiaoxun anymore. In a few days, I'll send him to Europe, let him stay there for a while to purify his mind. He has been eroded by interests, losing his humanity!"
"As you say, sending him to Europe is a good idea too. The environment is nice, Ren Xuebai's killing intent is too heavy, indeed it needs purification!" Lin Mu said.
"Yes, by the way, try to expedite the film city matters, the sooner we finish, the sooner we profit. Also, the registration documents of the film company are ready. We each hold 50% of the shares. As for the big boss, you will be it!" Elder Ren said over the phone.
"Elder, how can that be appropriate? We are partners, you're the backbone, and you know more about the industry than I do. You giving me the position of the big boss, wouldn't that be difficult for me to handle?" Lin Mu objected.
Elder Ren's intention was clear. To put it plainly, it was to financially support Lin Mu while providing help in the film sector. In reality, all the vital decisions were in Lin Mu's hands!
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. You know my relationship with Xiaoxun well, and I know yours with Xiaoxun too. Just treat Xiaoxun well. Besides, I know you sincerely love Xiaoxun, and everything I do is for Xiaoxun's sake. Eventually, when you're with Xiaoxun, sooner or later this family business will be yours, and we'll become one family, no difference between us!" Elder Ren stated.
Indeed, for Elder Ren now, making money wasn't important anymore. Elder Ren's assets nearing two billion are to be transferred to Zhou Xun. This amount certainly doesn't matter to Elder Ren. Elder Ren's goal wasn't to make money but to support Zhou Xun, helping her fulfill her dream more easily, so she could live a happy life with a successful career!
As for that huge sum, Elder Ren could give it all to her at once, but Zhou Xun isn't a money-minded girl, which is what Lin Mu most appreciates about her. Her dream is to become a frontline star, and although this aspiration is challenging, the path needs to be taken step by step. Elder Ren could only assist Zhou Xun in fulfilling her wish step by step behind the scenes!
Now Lin Mu also understood Elder Ren's intentions, and he realized why Elder Ren didn't want to tell Zhou Xun the relationship with the Ren family. Given Zhou Xun's nature, if she knew about these things, she would definitely leave the advertising company, which would complicate matters!
"Given this, I have no reason to refuse!" Lin Mu straightforwardly agreed.
"Yes, Lin Mu, do your best. If you need anything, just let this old man know. As long as these old bones can help, I'll do my utmost to assist!" Elder Ren pledged.
Lin Mu was quite moved hearing Elder Ren's words. Lin Mu understood. Elder Ren was sincere, offering unselfish help without expecting any return, purely aiming for no reciprocal benefits!
"Rest assured, Elder, I'll definitely make a good example for you to see!" Lin Mu promised. At this moment, Elder Ren felt just like Lin Mu's own elder.
"Very well!" Elder Ren responded.
After hanging up the call, Lin Mu and Earth Wolf tidied up a bit and left Ren Xuebai's villa. As for Ren Xuebai, Elder Ren would naturally send someone to pick him up later, so he wouldn't die for the time being since Lin Mu didn't finish him off.
Now that Elder Ren has placed such trust on him, Lin Mu would surely strive to make a good show. As for the film city matters, they still need to discuss properly with future father-in-law Qi Shangjing. Such a large project can't proceed without the approval of the municipal secretary. Of course, there's no need to mention Mayor Liu; as long as it benefits city development and his performance, he would definitely approve!
The film city project is no small feat. Lin Mu estimated it would at least cover a hundred acres. Since they're going for it, they ought to make a significant statement. Put bluntly, Lin Mu was investing a sizeable sum to build a small ancient city!
