CHAPTER 382: CHAPTER 373: LIN MU’S THREAT

Of course, with this five hundred million yuan loan, it’s like a drought receiving a heavy rain. Once Han Si Hai’s funds are injected, the supply chain will return to normal. There’s a lot of money to be made, and barring any accidents, repaying the five hundred million within half a year along with interest won’t be a problem!

So, this five hundred million yuan loan is extremely important for Han Si Hai!

Yang Guoqing, having taken this position, really can get things done. He signed off on Han Si Hai’s application, and as long as this document is taken to the provincial office for confirmation, the five hundred million is practically in Han Si Hai’s hands!

Generally speaking, once it gets past Yang Guoqing, as long as he signs off, it’s basically a done deal. The provincial side usually doesn’t block it, after all, it’s the chairman’s decision, and it relates to business volume. So, with Yang Guoqing’s signature, money is not a problem!

Han Si Hai certainly isn’t afraid that Yang Guoqing won’t work things out for him because he has dirt on him. If he doesn’t listen, his fate will be the same as Wang Junhui’s, immediately toppled! There’s no eternal friend or enemy in this world, everything centers around interests!

Han Si Hai bid farewell to Yang Guoqing and immediately arranged for Jue Qing and others to prepare. As soon as the money is in place, it will be injected, leading to significant economic expansion!

Yang Guoqing, becoming the chairman of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, was quite pleased, as it catered to different needs: Han Si Hai wanted money, and Yang Guoqing wanted status!

In the afternoon, Yang Guoqing left work and drove back home. No matter if he had social engagements or not, the first thing he did after work was going home! Lin Muxiao was already waiting downstairs for Yang Guoqing. As Yang Guoqing’s car drove into the community, he parked beneath his building, but just as he got out, Lin Mu called out to him.

"Hehe, Manager Yang—oh no, it should be Chairman Yang now, right?" Lin Mu took out a cigarette, lit it, and said to Yang Guoqing with a chuckle.

Yang Guoqing glanced at Lin Mu, knowing that because of his relationship with Han Si Hai, it was destined they couldn’t be friends.

Yang Guoqing’s attitude towards Lin Mu was neither good nor bad, but his expression told Lin Mu, "If you want me to help you, it’s not happening. Our relationship isn’t that close!"

"Hehe, Boss Lin, is there something you need?" Yang Guoqing said to Lin Mu with a forced smile.

"Yes, there’s something I’d like to discuss with Chairman Yang!" Lin Mu exhaled a smoke ring and said. However, Lin Mu’s current attitude wasn’t as humble as the first time, almost as if implying it was Yang Guoqing seeking his help. Of course, Lin Mu had evidence and could turn the situation around, making Yang Guoqing beg him instead!

Yang Guoqing was even more displeased seeing Lin Mu’s attitude, secretly thinking, "With that attitude, you want to discuss something with me? Keep dreaming!"

"If Boss Lin is here to discuss what you mentioned yesterday, there’s nothing to discuss. The bank makes its own decisions and will not be influenced by external factors!" Yang Guoqing said directly.

"Heh, Chairman Yang! Don’t handle things so ruthlessly!" Lin Mu sneered.

Yang Guoqing looked at Lin Mu but didn’t argue, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll head upstairs first!" he said, then turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, Chairman Yang, take a look at this thing. I’m sure you’ll find it interesting, right?" Lin Mu called out, producing a revealing photo of Yang Guoqing.

Yang Guoqing turned to look at the photo in Lin Mu’s hand, and his face immediately changed. Aren’t these the two girls from the hotel last night? Seeing the photo, a chill went down Yang Guoqing’s spine. It seemed Lin Mu had been prepared!

"You..."

"Hey, Chairman Yang, let’s not talk here. It’s not good if someone hears or sees us. If possible, let’s discuss this at your place. If you don’t want to talk, then I won’t force you, but I’m afraid your position won’t be secure for long?" Lin Mu laughed.

Yang Guoqing frowned, puzzled as to when Lin Mu took the picture. The girls were arranged by Han Si Hai, so there shouldn’t have been any issues?

But now wasn’t the time to think about that. If the photo leaked, he’d be another Wang Junhui!

"Come up then," Yang Guoqing said, heading upstairs.

Lin Mu followed, smiling as if he had Yang Guoqing in the palm of his hand!

Once inside Yang Guoqing’s home, Lin Mu glanced around.

"Not bad, the decoration is pretty good!" Lin Mu chuckled, taking a seat on the sofa.

Yang Guoqing sat opposite Lin Mu, his face gloomy.

"Where did you get these photos?" Yang Guoqing asked with a dark expression.

"What do you think?" Lin Mu grinned, tossing the photos onto the table. "Secretly taken, of course!"

"I didn’t expect you to be so sneaky. You know this is illegal, right?" Yang Guoqing glared at Lin Mu, naturally furious at being played.

"Oh? Illegal? Chairman Yang, you’re joking, right? If I’m breaking the law, then what about you? We all know the deal, I bet it was your arrangement that led to those bribery photos of Manager Wang!" Lin Mu chuckled.

Yang Guoqing’s expression changed but said nothing. They both understood well, speaking wouldn’t change anything!

"Just say what you want!" Yang Guoqing asked directly. There was no point in saying more; solving the core issue was most important!

"I think you know very well. You understand my relationship with Han Si Hai even better. I want to take down Han Si Hai, so that five hundred million yuan loan is crucial. It’s a key factor in taking Han Si Hai down!" Lin Mu stated bluntly.

Yang Guoqing looked at Lin Mu. His request put him in a tough spot; after all, he had accepted money from Han Si Hai and even colluded with him on this matter. If he backtracked, it wouldn’t be decent!

But if he lent money to Han Si Hai, the situation with Lin Mu was even worse. As soon as Lin Mu leaked the photos, he’d be dismissed like Wang Junhui. Even if he hadn’t done anything, there was solid evidence, which was hard to argue against. If he was dismissed, everything he’d done would be meaningless!

So Yang Guoqing weighed the pros and cons carefully!

As the saying goes, "If you don’t think for yourself, the heavens and the earth will punish you." Without his position, everything else would be for naught!

"Fine, I’ll immediately cancel Han Si Hai’s loan application!" Yang Guoqing had no other choice but to nod in agreement.

"Hehe, then I thank Chairman Yang here," Lin Mu laughed.

"What about these photos?" Yang Guoqing asked.

"Rest assured, the photos will be returned in full once the matter is done!" Lin Mu said with a faint smile.

"Why should I believe you? What if you don’t return them even after everything is settled?" Yang Guoqing asked.

"Hehe, given the current situation, you have no choice. Now you’re the one seeking my help, not the other way around. If you don’t trust me, fine, we won’t cooperate. I can find other ways, but as for you? Your entire future prospects might be ruined!" Lin Mu laughed.
