Chapter 921: Final Chapter Before Death (8)
“Confidential information?” Lin Ya clearly noticed Bei Lun fiddling with a USB flash drive with a toy figurine attached.
Tossing the USB around in his hand a few times, Bei Lun raised an eyebrow and said, “Yes, confidential information. It’s the information on the Rothschild family that you had been looking for previously. Oh, and some information on transportation channels. It can only be a good thing, if you can transfer the d.a.m.ning goods you’re holding, over to the Mu Corporation’s s.h.i.+pping route, right?”
To interfere with things along Mu Xichen’s s.h.i.+pment route?
Lin Ya’s eyes lit up.
Not only did Mu Xichen deal in real estate, his business included trade in steel bars, cement, and many other building materials. Shangzhi Real Estate operated under Mu Xichen’s name, and was involved in collaborations with many large international companies. Naturally, they had their channels of transportation.
If only he could take Mu Xichen down, he would be able to do much more.
However, Mu Xichen would never agree to it.
Lin Ya knew this too well.
Bei Lun saw that he was considering. He spread his hands and continued, “You’re a smart person, and so am I. It’s just that Mu is smarter than all of us. It will take a collaboration between smart people to take Mu down, don’t you think so?”
Looking at Bei Lun, Lin Ya closed the doc.u.ment in his hand and smiled calmly. “You’re right, but this doesn’t seem to be of much use to me.”
“You know best whether it’s useful.” Bei Lun wasn’t a person who liked to beat around the bush. When he heard this, he dropped the USB flash drive back into his pocket. “Remember, the money. The contract between P.I.T. and you has expired. Since Mayor Lin is so insincere, we shall terminate our cooperation.”
As Bei Lun spoke, he stood up from his chair.
Just as he was about to leave, Lin Ya stopped him. “What’s the hurry?”
Bei Lun turned around and whistled. “Have you thought it through?”
Lin Ya capped his fountain pen and adjusted his gla.s.ses. He smiled and said, “Then let’s collaborate for another year, at the same price as before.”
Bei Lun smiled happily. “Mayor Lin is really generous. However, all the money in the past was paid by Mu Donglin. Now that Mu Donglin is about to die, what will Mayor Lin pay us with?”
Lin Ya smiled. “You’re joking.”
Bei Lun laughed out loud. “I didn’t think that you’d want to part with clean money. After all, it’s not easy to earn ill-gotten money nowadays.”
Lin Ya did not respond. Instead, he looked at the USB flash drive in the other man’s pocket and demanded, “Hand that over.”
Bei Lun took it out and tossed it over to Lin Ya without hesitating, and reminded the man, “Don’t forget…”
After Bei Lun left, Lin Ya immediately inserted the USB into the computer.
A new window immediately launched on the screen. It displayed all sorts of detailed s.h.i.+pping information and… detailed information about the Rothschild family.
Chen Ye stood by the side and was a little worried when he noted Lin Ya’s eager expression. “Mayor, can we really trust this person?”
“Sure.” Lin Ya’s eyes lit up. As he read on, he became more excited. He licked his lips and said, “If you doubt someone, don’t use him. If you use someone, don’t doubt him. He and Mu Xichen have been at odds for a long time. It’s only natural he wants to make life h.e.l.l for the man.”
Chen Ye didn’t say anything else and just nodded.
However, what everyone had not expected, was that in a mere few days’ time, things would take a surprising turn.
To Lin Ya, Bei Lun was indeed a trustworthy person, however, what if even Bei Lun himself was being deceived by others?
