The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 244 - 235: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind

Chapter 244: Chapter 235: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind

Lin Mu’s goal was to stop Han Si Hai from attending the auction because Lin Mu didn’t want to spend too much money. Even though he had made a fortune in North Africa, it was all tightly controlled by the old man, so he didn’t have much cash on hand and had to borrow carefully from Sophie.

Moreover, if Han Si Hai went, it would affect Lin Mu’s strategy. To control everything, he had to ensure that everything was under his control!

"Big star, remember, don’t raise the price too high tomorrow. I reckon others have also agreed with Han Si Hai. It’s impossible to raise the price, just let that woman named Purple Clothes bid it down," Lin Mu said slowly, exhaling a smoke ring.

Zhou Xun nodded, "Got it, don’t worry!"

"Manlin, when you meet that Purple Clothes tomorrow, don’t act rashly. You’re not her match, including those police. For now, she’s still useful, and by the way, bring back a few photos of her for me," Lin Mu said to Qi Manlin.

"Got it, geez, I’m not a three-year-old, I know what I’m doing!" Qi Manlin waved her hand impatiently.

"Alright then, let’s settle it like this, hope everything goes smoothly!" Lin Mu smiled.

"Alright, I’m going to my room to rest," Zhou Xun said, heading upstairs.

Lin Mu stood up from the sofa, yawned, stretched lazily,

"I’m tired too, going back to my room to sleep."

Lin Mu waved his hand and turned to head upstairs.

"Wait a minute," Qi Manlin called out.

"What’s up?" Lin Mu turned his head to look at Qi Manlin and asked.

Qi Manlin glanced at Lin Mu, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated, seemingly embarrassed to speak out.

Lin Mu glanced at Qi Manlin, furrowed his eyebrows; this was an uncommon sight, a stark contrast to her usual self!

"Hey, police flower sister, do you want to sleep with me but are too embarrassed to say it?" Lin Mu grinned obnoxiously.

"Get lost, nothing good comes out of your mouth! Say that again, and I’ll tear your mouth apart!"

Qi Manlin initially wanted to remind him to be safe, but Lin Mu’s words made her momentary gentleness vanish. She kicked him lightly and walked past him upstairs.

"Come on, I was just joking, such a lack of sense of humor!" Lin Mu rubbed his calf and headed upstairs.

In the Han Family Mansion in the Wancheng East District, the hall was shrouded in smoke. Han Si Hai and the Poisonous Snake Four Brothers were seated in the main hall. Jue Qing sat below the host and asked, "Master Si, tomorrow is the auction. When do we make our move?"

"No rush, we’ll act tomorrow morning!" Han Si Hai slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke.

"Tomorrow morning?"

Han Si Hai’s eyes flashed with an evil smile. In truth, Han Si Hai had already planned this out. He had long investigated the three women around Lin Mu and found their close relationship with him.

Han Si Hai planned to choose one of them to kidnap, using a woman to delay Lin Mu. After thinking it over, he decided to kidnap Xiong Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao was young and currently in her internship phase. Her movement route was simple and easy to control, making it convenient to act.

"Hmm, not bad. Tomorrow morning, Iron Claw and a few others will kidnap that little girl and then notify Lin Mu. Heh, I believe Lin Mu won’t ignore it when he finds out she’s been kidnapped because I can tell Lin Mu is a lecherous beast. He’ll definitely choose women over money!" Han Si Hai’s eyes flashed with a chilling gleam.

"Master Si, you are indeed wise. If we distract Lin Mu, then Kangyu Foot Bath City will be ours, and we won’t have to spend much money. It’s really easy!" Jue Qing said.

"Hahaha, in the future, Kangyu Foot Bath City will belong to the Han Family. Lin Mu, this kid, wants to fight with me; he’s too green for that!"

Han Si Hai stood up, laughed, and walked out of the hall.

Early the next morning, Lin Mu and the others finished breakfast. Since Han Si Hai hadn’t come to find him overnight, Lin Mu had to go to him personally!

Qi Manlin drove with Zhou Xun to the local police station, planning to go to South Asia Company once the auction started. This was all arranged by Lin Mu to prevent being followed right out of the door.

Lin Mu, meanwhile, took a cab directly to where Han Si Hai lived. Lin Mu’s goal was to keep Han Si Hai from attending the auction as the rules specified personal attendance was mandatory. If the person didn’t show up by a certain time, it would be considered a forfeit!

In just over ten minutes, Lin Mu arrived at the gates of the Han Family Mansion. He got off the car and stood behind a large tree, looking inside. Two bodyguards stood motionless, like two door gods, with a Mercedes parked in front. This was Han Si Hai’s ride and not only beautiful but bulletproof, so Lin Mu knew Han Si Hai hadn’t left yet.

Just then, the Han Family gate opened, and a few men in black walked out. Lin Mu glanced over and recognized Iron Claw. However, he was alone, and the other three were not in sight, accompanied by some henchmen.

Iron Claw and the men got into a nearby van and drove off.

"Oh? Where are Iron Claw and his men going?" Lin Mu muttered to himself, but since Han Si Hai hadn’t come out, Lin Mu couldn’t afford to split his attention and naturally had to keep an eye on their boss.

However, Lin Mu was a bit uneasy. He called Qi Manlin, asked a few questions, and learned that they had arrived at the police station, which relieved him.

Whatever Iron Claw was up to, as long as Zhou Xun was okay, and Han Si Hai was kept occupied, the situation was in control! No one would manage to take over Kangyu Foot Bath City; Han Si Hai had already dealt with the others, and Lin Mu only needed to manage Han Si Hai and that Purple Clothes.

This was what they call the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! As for Purple Clothes, Lin Mu already had a plan to deal with her. For now, he needed to stop Han Si Hai!

The auction began at nine, and everyone had to be in by eight-thirty, which meant if Han Si Hai couldn’t get there by nine, it was considered a forfeiture!

It was already eight o’clock; all Lin Mu needed was to delay Han Si Hai for one hour. Though Han Si Hai was surrounded by experts, delaying him for an hour wasn’t extremely difficult; Lin Mu had the confidence!

Lin Mu lit a cigarette, leaning against the tree. After finishing one cigarette, the Han mansion door opened, and Han Si Hai walked out, followed by the Poisonous Snake Three Brothers, all dressed in black suits, with a few men in black behind them, looking imposing.

With the men surrounding him like an entourage, Han Si Hai headed toward the Mercedes. Lin Mu knew it was time to act! He flicked away the cigarette butt and walked forward.

"Heh, Master Si, putting on such airs, where are you heading?" Lin Mu approached with a smile.

Han Si Hai was about to get in the car when he heard laughter, turned his head, and focused on Lin Mu. His originally grim face broke into a smile. Seeing Lin Mu here, Han Si Hai felt more at ease, indicating that he hadn’t reached the auction yet!

Meanwhile, Iron Claw had already gone to kidnap Xiong Xiaoxiao, so this time, Lin Mu wouldn’t stand a chance to attend!
