Chapter 1214 - 1229: Face-Slapping
Tang Wu and Fang Zhongxin's faces turned grim when they heard what Lin Mu said, but Tang Wu still maintained a humble attitude. "So, Boss Lin, what do you want us to do?""The two of you, slap each other more than twenty times, and it must be loud. If you don't want to, I can do it for you, but the outcome won't be the same." Lin Mu said with a chuckle, looking at the two.
"Boss Lin, what if we don't slap each other?" Tang Wu's tone turned quite harsh.
"Are you fucking deaf? If you don't do it, I'll just do it myself. I enjoy the sound of slaps." Lin Mu said with a smile, wanting to give them a show of power. Damn, you can't just let someone this arrogant walk all over you. If I don't reveal my identity, who knows how they'd act tough. People like them bully the weak and fear the strong.
"Lin Mu, don't get carried away. I'm not someone you can easily mess with." Tang Wu said, looking at Lin Mu with an ugly expression.
"So what if you're not easy to mess with? You fall into my hands, and I'll play you to death." Lin Mu said to Tang Wu.
Tang Wu stared at Lin Mu, so furious that his teeth ached, but no matter how much he hated, he was not Lin Mu's opponent at the moment. If he acted rashly, he'd be asking for trouble and would have to call for reinforcements.
"You want to play big, huh? Then I'll play with you." Tang Wu said coldly, then took out his phone and quickly made a call to one of the most influential people in Wancheng!
After hanging up, a smug smile appeared on Tang Wu's face, so punchable that Lin Mu felt an urge to hit him again.
"Ha, calling for backup, huh? You better tell them to hurry up, or you won't be able to wait for them to come." Lin Mu said, looking at Tang Wu.
"Let me tell you, I'm not someone you can easily mess with. Even though this is your turf, I won't just let anyone bully me." Tang Wu's tone became firm.
"Alright, great, let's see how you're not someone to mess with." Lin Mu looked forward to it, while secretly deciding that even if he tried to stop it, it wouldn't work; he had to dampen this beast's spirit.
At this moment, Lin Mu's phone rang. Taking a look, it was Sophie calling.
Lin Mu answered, "Hello, Feifei."
"Lin Mu, are you in conflict with someone named Tang Wu right now?" Sophie asked.
Lin Mu felt a bit frustrated upon hearing this. Did this beast call Sophie? But something didn't add up—if they called Sophie, it meant this guy's status wasn't low, but he hadn't heard of such a figure in Wancheng?
"Haha, that's right. Why?" Lin Mu was quite frustrated, thinking his beautiful CEO fiancée might be siding with outsiders to stop him.
"He's from the North China Tang Sect." Sophie said.
"You mean the big family Tang Sect in the North China region?" Lin Mu asked.
"Yes, that's right. Tang Wu is Tang Zhilong's son and the grandson of Tang Hongwei from North China Tang Sect. Tang Hongwei holds a high status in both Huaxia's underworld and the business world." Sophie stated.
"Oh, I see." Lin Mu nodded.
"So what do you plan to do?" Sophie asked, not in a commanding tone to stop Lin Mu from bothering Tang Wu, because Sophie wasn't afraid of anyone, nor did she need to be afraid of North China Tang Sect. If she had to choose a side, she would surely stand with Lin Mu. The reason for calling was just to remind him.
"Do whatever needs to be done. Of course, if you're asking me to ease up, I'd go along with you." Lin Mu said.
"You're my fiancé, so of course, I want to respect your opinion." Sophie laughed gently as she spoke.
"Hey, alright, then I'll handle it my own way." Lin Mu was quite satisfied with Sophie's attitude; close ones should be like this—supporting each other if they want to do something, regardless of right or wrong.
Otherwise, it would be disheartening if one always sided with outsiders.
"Okay, take it easy." Sophie responded.
Lin Mu didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
After Lin Mu hung up, Tang Wu's face showed a smug smile.
"What now? You still won't let us go?" Tang Wu sneered at Lin Mu.
Seeing Tang Wu's expression, Lin Mu felt very frustrated. Who gave him such confidence to be so arrogant? Clearly, he needed to be taught a lesson.
"Of course, you can leave, but only after I finish hitting you." Lin Mu sneered, then swiftly moved to Tang Wu and Fang Zhongxin, and the next second, the sound of slaps echoed in the open space. Lin Mu first slapped Tang Wu more than twenty times, then did the same to Fang Zhongxin.
Fortunately for Tang Wu, Lin Mu didn't hit too hard; it was just enough to embarrass them. Fang Zhongxin, with both old and new injuries, lay on the ground howling in pain. Tang Wu, although not seriously injured, had a small trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and the side of his face that was hit was noticeably swollen and red.
Lin Mu chuckled with satisfaction, "Still feel smug now?"
Tang Wu glared at Lin Mu, covering his face, not uttering a single word.
"You can leave now, remember, in this small patch of land in Wancheng, even if you're a dragon, you need to coil up, and if you're a tiger, you need to crouch. Never act cocky in front of me; it doesn't work, understand?" Lin Mu patted Tang Wu's shoulder in a manner reminiscent of an adult lecturing a child.
Tang Wu didn't say a word and got into his Da Ben. Being beaten like this was utterly humiliating, and any words at this point would be meaningless. Lin Mu returned to his own car, and then both sides drove away.
Although North China Tang Sect is quite powerful in North China, it doesn't mean they can act superior in Lin Mu's territory in Wancheng. As long as Lin Mu is around, the underground world of Wancheng will never allow outsiders to have a say, even if they are the formidable Four Young Masters of Tang Sect!
Returning to the city area of Wancheng, with nothing else to do, Lin Mu planned to visit the film company. After months of work, the movie version of "Palace Locks Liancheng" has finished post-production and will soon be shown in major cinemas.
Of course, Lin Mu most anticipated its release in his own film base, which had a total of five theaters capable of accommodating over ten thousand people. The film base was almost complete, and showing the movie in the cinemas was no longer a problem. With the completion of post-production, it was a matter of coordinating promotion. Lin Mu was quite looking forward to how many billions in box office earnings the movie "Palace Locks Liancheng" might bring.
So, Lin Mu leisurely strolled to the film company, chatted with director Nanny Yu and lead actor Zhou Xun. Since there would soon be movie promotions in various cities, everyone was quite busy.
After a brief chat, Nanny Yu went off to attend to her duties, while Zhou Xun, somewhat reluctant, said to Lin Mu, "Brother Lin, I might be going on a nationwide promotional tour tomorrow, so it could be a few days before I see you again."
