The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 229 - 220: The Power of Su’s Great Enterprise
Chapter 229: Chapter 220: The Power of Su’s Great Enterprise
"Hehe, slick talker, is there ever a time when I’m not beautiful?" Sophie looked up at Lin Mu.
"Oh, that’s true, our Princess Feifei is stunning and charming every day, but I think you look especially beautiful today, even more so than usual." Lin Mu chuckled heartily, his flattery echoing loudly.
"Thanks for the compliment!" Sophie looked at Lin Mu and frowned slightly. "Actually, you’re quite handsome today too... Oh, of course, if you were a little fairer that would be even better!"
"Fairer?" Lin Mu touched his little dark face brought back from Africa helplessly. It seems this thing doesn’t get much fairer, but it’s not my fault either, I was born this way! If you’re going to blame anyone, blame my parents for not planning it better!
Sophie chuckled and decided not to tease Lin Mu any further. She glanced around. "Come on, you must have something you need my help with?"
Flattering this hard, clearly there’s something fishy going on! Sophie had been associating with Lin Mu for some time and gradually understood his personality.
"Help? I don’t have anything I need your help with," Lin Mu feigned a nonchalant expression.
"Oh? Really? Alright, but if you take too long to say it, I won’t help later, hehe." Sophie gave Lin Mu a knowing look and laughed.
Lin Mu looked at Sophie, having to admit that this girl has sharp eyes! She could tell at a glance that I need something from her. As expected from the business queen of the Pearl River Delta, she’s evidently more mature and capable, and far more charming compared to little police officers and big stars!
"Hehe," Lin Mu shamelessly moved closer and smiled, "Well, can I take back what I said earlier? Let me put it this way, there’s no major issue, but a small matter where you might need to lend a hand, of course not really helping me, but helping your little police friend. You heard about what happened at Kangyu last night, right? Zheng Haonan has already taken cover, and now the upper management has issued orders to catch him!"
"Last night’s business was your doing, wasn’t it?" Sophie glanced at Lin Mu, hitting the nail on the head, "Honestly, I couldn’t think of anyone else involved other than you!"
"Indeed, I did it, just ridding the people of evil!"
Lin Mu did not hide anything; with a clever woman like Sophie, everything seemed impossible to conceal, and besides, there was no need to hide it.
"Hehe, you have quite the guts, taking action there. Aren’t you afraid of the police finding out and executing you?" Sophie joked with a playful tone.
"Hehe, do I look like I’m scared? The job was flawless, and it’s impossible for those stupid cops to figure it out, otherwise, they wouldn’t be going all out to track down Zheng Haonan. Since they couldn’t find the murderer, they just have to convict Zheng Haonan!" Lin Mu shrugged and laughed.
"Hehe, I find myself admiring you more and more," Sophie laughed.
"Does that mean you’re going to fall for me?" Lin Mu teased with a wink and a grin.
"What do you think?"
"Hehe, one day you’ll say you love me. But today I’m here for your help to investigate Zheng Haonan’s whereabouts!"
"The police couldn’t find him, how could an ordinary weak woman like me possibly do it?" Sophie spread her hands and said.
"You’ll have a way to find him, otherwise I wouldn’t come to you. I know finding someone in Wancheng is as simple as earning money for you, I believe in your ability!" Lin Mu smiled and said.
Lin Mu knew the strength of Su’s Great Enterprise Group, which should be said as unimaginably powerful. Sophie, being such a brilliant woman, had eyes and ears in Wancheng’s various social circles, let alone underground forces like Zheng Haonan’s. If Su’s Group didn’t have an intelligence network, then where were the first-hand information that Sophie and Su Xiaowan often prepared coming from?
"Hehe, since you put it this way, I’ll inquire for you, but I can’t guarantee if I can find him. After all, I don’t have all-encompassing power in Wancheng, just a few more informants!" Sophie laughed.
"Alright, that’s fine, as long as you’re willing to help. I’m really lazy to think of other solutions, hehe, luckily I have such an impressive fiancée!" Lin Mu smiled and said.
"Stop your slick talk!" Sophie glared at Lin Mu, then pressed the phone on the table, "Xiaowan, come in here for a minute."
Su Xiaowan responded over the phone, and shortly after, a woman in a black suit and five-centimeter heels walked in. She was Su Xiaowan.
"President, any instructions?" Su Xiaowan stood beside Sophie and asked.
"Xiaowan, quickly find out the whereabouts of Kangyu Foot Bath City’s owner, Zheng Haonan. Report to me as soon as you have any news!" Sophie looked up at Xiaowan and said.
"Yes, President, I’ll get right on it!"
Su Xiaowan responded, then turned and left. Lin Mu chuckled gleefully and moved closer, saying, "Feifei, there’s one thing I’ve always been curious about!"
"What is it?" Sophie looked up at Lin Mu and asked.
"Hehe, you seem to really trust Su Xiaowan, leaving everything to her. What’s your relationship with Su Xiaowan?" Lin Mu asked.
"Oh? How could you tell that Su Xiaowan and I have a relationship?" Sophie laughed.
"I just feel it. I’ve told you, I have a very keen seventh sense, and it’s never been wrong. Besides, not just anyone would earn this level of trust from you," Lin Mu said.
Sophie nodded and said, "To be honest, Xiaowan and I grew up together, we went to school together, and she has always been by my side, so I understand her very well and have no reason not to trust her!"
"I see." Lin Mu nodded.
All morning, and there was still no word from Su Xiaowan. In the meantime, Lin Mu received several calls from Qi Manlin, all asking if he had any leads on Zheng Haonan’s whereabouts. Lin Mu could only helplessly tell Qi Manlin not to worry, it would be soon.
Meanwhile, Qi Manlin cooperated with Inspector Wang in coordinating an investigation with the village chiefs on the outskirts, all conducted in secret. The concern was that if Zheng Haonan got alerted and changed locations, he would be even harder to find.
Around three o’clock in the afternoon, Su Xiaowan returned to the top floor of Yunhai Mansion. Standing by Sophie’s side, she said,
"President, we have news of Zheng Haonan."
"Oh? Where is he hiding?"
"Bali Village."
"Bali Village?"
Su Xiaowan nodded and said, "That’s right, Zheng Haonan has a hideout in Bali Village. According to reliable information, he’s currently staying there, but which specific household he is in hasn’t been determined yet. Our people didn’t dare to act recklessly for fear of alerting Zheng Haonan."
"Not bad, just knowing the general area where Zheng Haonan is, is already impressive!"
Lin Mu said happily. He had to admire the strength of Su’s Great Enterprise; the police had searched everywhere to no avail, yet Sophie had her people find it in just a morning. That’s quite impressive indeed.
