NOVEL NEXT Chapter 524: Lin Mu's Methods
"What are you doing? I'm gonna kill you today, get them!" Hodou waved his hand and said.
The four thugs saw this and rushed at Lin Mu with blades in their hands.
Watching the four thugs rush forward, Lin Mu felt a bit troubled. Did these guys really not bother to check his influence in Wancheng? This was truly reckless!
The four thugs were quite swift, and in the blink of an eye, they were right in front of Lin Mu. Zhou Xun and the others behind were terrified, yet Lin Mu sat firmly on the chair, unmoving.
"Get him!" The group of men charged all at once, raising their blades to slash at Lin Mu. Suddenly, before the four thugs could reach him, there was a blood-curdling scream, "Ah~!" In the next second, they stumbled and emitted cries akin to a pig being slaughtered. No one saw how Lin Mu struck, but several pairs of chopsticks were lodged into the thighs of the four thugs, red blood flowing down the chopsticks!
The four thugs immediately fell to the ground, clutching their thighs and wailing. In a mere instant, the four thugs that Hodou brought were all subdued by Lin Mu, lying on the ground in unbearable pain, which shocked Hodou!
Hodou had heard Lin Mu was somewhat skillful, but he didn't expect him to be this impressive. Seeing Lin Mu's calm demeanor, Hodou was truly troubled!
"Hehe, President Huo, bringing a few men to deal with me doesn't seem to be enough!" Lin Mu shrugged and laughed.
Hodou's facial muscles twitched, pointing at Lin Mu, "You... don't get complacent!"
The Earth Wolf, returning from the restroom, saw the scene inside and patted Hodou on the shoulder. It seemed he just missed an entertaining show! Hodou turned his head to see another fierce-looking fat guy come in, and his heart couldn't help but tremble again!
The fat guy in front looked like a small hill, and if he threw three punches and two kicks, it would be quite a beating!
Lin Mu extinguished the cigarette in his hand, lit another one, and said, "President Huo, since you're here, let's get things clear. Otherwise, I will come looking for you again!"
Looking at Lin Mu, Hodou's arrogance diminished, given that his four thugs were already incapacitated, unable to fight back. If he continued to put on airs, he might end up badly beaten as well!
"What do you mean?" Hodou glanced at Lin Mu and asked.
"Transfer your Han Entertainment Media Company to me!" Lin Mu said.
"Transfer my Han Entertainment Media Company to you? Haha!" Hearing Lin Mu speak, Hodou unexpectedly laughed at the statement, "You want me to transfer the company to you? Dream on! Do you know how much net profit my company generates annually? Two hundred million, two hundred million! Do you understand?"
Lin Mu exhaled a puff of smoke, showing no signs of joking, "I don't care how much profit your company makes for you. Either way, your film and television company is mine for the taking!"
"Just you? What makes you think you can speak to me like this? The company is mine, and I decide whether to transfer it or not. No one can make me do otherwise!" Hodou said firmly.
"Haha, is that so? It seems like some matters may not be up to you. If I'm not mistaken, you owe a huge sum to the bank from before you started the company because of the expenses on packaging artists, right? Although you're starting to recoup your losses, you've paid back most of it over these years but still owe quite a lot, probably taking another two years to pay off. With your current situation, how will you repay?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Hodou frowned. These were indeed dealings between him and the bank. Lin Mu was right; he still owed a part of the money. But how did Lin Mu know this?
"How do you know this?" Hodou asked in surprise.
"Haha, how I know isn't your concern. It's better to be clear about things yourself!" Lin Mu replied with a laugh.
Since Lin Mu intended to take down Hodou, he naturally had detailed information on Hodou's situation. With Lin Mu's connection to Wang Junhui, the head of Wancheng Industrial Bank, it was easy to gather some old debts of Hodou's.
Hodou glanced at Lin Mu, feeling that Lin Mu was incredibly shrewd, "Hmph, my business is none of your concern. Regardless, my Han Entertainment Company is off limits to you!"
"Haha, some things are beyond your control. There's an old saying: 'In the underworld, you're not free to act on your own,' and the future is uncertain. While Han Entertainment is yours now, it might not be in the future!" Lin Mu said, exhaling a large plume of smoke, "Relax, I'm not here to make things difficult this time. Leave if you want, but your company will fall into my hands sooner or later!"
"Haha, then let's see!" Hodou said, leaving the private room, while the four thugs, unable to defend themselves, endured the pain in their legs, limping out.
After Hodou left, peace returned to the private room. Fan Ruobing and Xie Tingfeng, the two stars, glanced at Lin Mu, thinking to themselves that President Lin truly had skills; not only was he rich, but he was also formidable. Few in the entertainment industry dared to challenge Hodou like that!
It seemed that Boss Chen and President Yang made the right choice, at least from the current situation, as Flying Dragon Film and Television had the upper hand!
The banquet was disrupted by Hodou, with food overturned, making it impossible to continue eating. Lin Mu directly opened two rooms at the Chang'an Hotel for the two stars, exhausted from traveling all night, naturally needing a good rest!
After setting up the rooms, Lin Mu left the hotel, driving toward the Wancheng Industrial Bank. As Hodou had borrowed a large sum from the bank, Lin Mu needed to discuss this with Wang Junhui!
Arriving at the Wancheng Industrial Bank, Lin Mu parked his car and walked inside, knocking on the office door, and Wang Junhui responded from inside,
"Come in!" Lin Mu pushed the door open and entered.,
"Ah, what a rare guest! What brings Boss Lin here today?" Wang Junhui greeted him with a smile.
Previously, when Wang Junhui was removed due to a bribery accusation, it was thanks to Lin Mu's assistance that he cleared his name. Eventually, Lin Mu helped Wang Junhui return to the position of bank manager, so Wang Junhui always held great respect and courtesy towards Lin Mu.
"Uncle Wang!" Lin Mu smiled and greeted Wang Junhui.
"Come, Lin Mu, have a seat inside!" Wang Junhui gestured inside.
Lin Mu nodded and sat down beside the sofa, "Uncle Wang, I'm here this time regarding Hodou's film company loan. I need your help!"
Wang Junhui nodded, "Lin Mu, feel free to say what help you need!"
"Uncle, I want to use the loan agreement Hodou has with the bank to acquire his Han Entertainment Film Company!" Lin Mu said.
"What? You want Hodou's Han Entertainment Company?" Wang Junhui asked in confusion.
