Chapter 1506: Chapter 1521: Arrival in England

Ah Fang glanced at Lin Mu, then shifted her gaze to Zhou Xun, and said, "Actually, actually Jiao Yunda is doing all this to get Zhou Xun."

After Lin Mu heard that, he was even more confused. What a damn bizarre idea, is he trying to steal my woman?

"He likes Zhou Xun too?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yeah, and Jiao Yunda isn’t just ’kind of’ into her, he’s crazy about Zhou Xun. He also knows Zhou Xun will never like him, because you’re around, so he tried to find ways to scheme against you. I’m just a piece on his chessboard." Ah Fang said.

"Heh, that’s really interesting. Set up such a huge game of chess, all for Xiaoxun, heh." Lin Mu looked at Ah Fang and said with a smile.

"This is all what he told me. Everything he said, I’ve repeated to you word for word, without leaving anything out." Ah Fang said.

"Mm, not bad, you handled this well. You just stay here for the time being, that’s for your own safety too. If you need anything, just speak up. We’ll follow everything exactly as Jiao Yunda arranged it, don’t let him see any clue that something’s off. Whatever result he wants to hear, you just tell him that’s the result. I’ll cooperate as well." Lin Mu said.

"Mm, got it." Ah Fang nodded.

Lin Mu smiled at Zhou Xun, then said, "Fuck, I really didn’t expect Jiao Yunda is actually doing this to get you. That guy is seriously putting his heart into this!"

Zhou Xun helplessly curled her lips. "I’d long felt something was off, but I didn’t know where the problem was."

"Heh, think about it carefully, the way Jiao Yunda played this is pretty ruthless. He even put together a full ’hero saves beauty’ script. That’s insanely badass. If we didn’t have Nanny Yu as a director, then without a doubt Jiao Yunda would be the most badass director material ever!" Lin Mu laughed.

"This guy really is hiding deep. His scheming is intense. Turns out all the entanglements between Meiwei Entertainment and Flying Dragon Film and Television were orchestrated by him alone. Just goes to show you can know someone’s face but never their heart!" Zhou Xun nodded thoughtfully.

"Heh, don’t worry. Man does, heaven watches. When the time comes, evil will get what it deserves! I swear, I’ll make him pay a heavy price!" Lin Mu said with a grin.

"How are you planning to deal with him?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Do nothing. Wait!" Lin Mu smiled. "Wait for his move. Isn’t Jiao Yunda trying to scheme against me? Then I’ll just counter-scheme him... you know the drill..."

"Mm, but Brother Lin, you need to be careful too. Jiao Yunda is an old fox, deep as hell. I’m a bit scared..." Zhou Xun said worriedly.

"Relax, I’m putting together a thorough plan. As long as Jiao Yunda dares to make the first move, I’ll let him have a good taste of regret..." Lin Mu said, blowing out a mouthful of smoke.

Over the next several days, both sides stayed in a stalemate. On the surface, Jiao Yunda seemed to be constantly busy negotiating business with Yinglun Stern, while Lin Mu was busy arranging manpower and deploying the sea transport routes. After all, this was on the ocean. Since Jiao Yunda dared to go against Flying Dragon Group and Lin Mu, his men definitely had some armed strength, guns included, so their power shouldn’t be much weaker than Flying Dragon’s. If the two sides went into a firefight, relying on himself alone obviously wouldn’t work. Lin Mu had to make sure the people under Flying Dragon Shipping knew the situation, so at the critical moment they could provide him with powerful fire support. Only then could he be sure to hold the upper hand over Jiao Yunda!

On the other hand, Lin Mu kept cooperating with Ah Fang to put on a show for Jiao Yunda to see. On the surface, his relationship with Zhou Xun was getting worse and worse, crises everywhere, like the two of them could blow up at each other any minute. After Jiao Yunda received this information, he was very pleased and started planning the next step of his operation.

So Lin Mu and Jiao Yunda looked on the surface like they fit together perfectly as partners, but in reality they were scheming against each other and making moves in secret. Just as Lin Mu finished all his preparations, Jiao Yunda’s side was also fully arranged.

Jiao Yunda and Stern’s gold business had already been settled, and they could move into action the next day. On the night before departure, Lin Mu and Jiao Yunda had a good, hearty drink together. To those outsiders who knew nothing, they’d definitely think the two were a pair of close partners. Of course, on the surface they looked even more like a pair of best bros!

"Come, Boss Lin, a toast to you. Let’s wish our voyage tomorrow goes smoothly." Jiao Yunda said, raising his glass.

"Heh, let’s down it." Lin Mu grinned.

The two clinked glasses and drained them in one go.

Because they had to set off early the next morning, Lin Mu and Jiao Yunda didn’t drink that much, but it still wasn’t little either. It’s just that compared to their huge tolerance, the amount they drank was actually pretty modest.

After drinking, Lin Mu went back to the hotel and then called Earth Wolf, Gray Wolf, and the others one by one. These guys were Wolf Fang’s trusted men and also Flying Dragon’s current elite force, so he had to make sure they were prepared. Because Lin Mu had also learned this time that Jiao Yunda was bringing quite a lot of people, and every one of them was armed. Taking such a huge gun squad along, you don’t even need to ask how strong that makes them.

Of course, no matter how strong the other side was, as the former ace unit of the North African Grassland, the Wolf Fang Mercenaries were very confident about this operation. And Lin Mu also wanted to use this chance to test Flying Dragon Sect’s true strength!

After arranging everything, Lin Mu finally slept soundly. Early the next morning, Lin Mu and Jiao Yunda and the others took a plane to the British Isles in Western Europe, because the main part of the sea escort was on the return journey. After all, on the return trip there would be a large amount of gold on the ship, which was the most likely to attract pirate attacks.

By the time they arrived in England, darkness had already fallen. Stern had specially sent people to the airport to pick them up. You had to admit, the scene was absolutely stunning—more than a dozen luxury cars, every one of them worth over a million.

"Mr. Jiao, my old friend, hello!" Stern greeted them very warmly.

"Hello, long time no see!" Jiao Yunda came up and hugged him. The two shook hands enthusiastically and even did cheek kisses. Lin Mu felt seriously weird watching it, like he was looking at two gay guys.

"Let me introduce you. This is my business partner and also my good brother, Lin Mu, Boss Lin." Jiao Yunda introduced Stern.

"Mr. Lin, very glad to meet you!" Stern was quite polite.

But Lin Mu had zero desire to do cheek kisses with this Big Beard, so he just smiled and shook Stern’s hand. "Hello, hello, pleasure, pleasure!"

After some small talk, Lin Mu and Jiao Yunda got into a stretched Lincoln together. In the car Jiao Yunda introduced the economic strength of the Stern Clan to Lin Mu. Of course, Lin Mu didn’t care about any of that; the person he really wanted to deal with was Jiao Yunda himself!

The Lincoln drove into a luxurious estate, and a few people got out of the car. The banquet was already prepared.

At the banquet, Jiao Yunda and Stern were constantly raising their glasses and chatting away. They finally got around to talking about the gold business.
