### Chapter 183: The Second Young Master of the Yun Family Makes an Appearance

Yun Mu originally thought that after Yun Shuiyao finally achieved her wish and entered the Huo family, she would certainly take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

However, since she entered the Huo family's old residence two days ago, she had been staying in seclusion, spending most of her time recuperating in her room, even rarely coming out for meals.

It was so quiet that even Old Master Huo found it surprising and asked about it several times.

Naturally, Yun Mu did not go out of her way to provoke her either. She spent her days researching medicinal herb cultivation, making good progress.

One day, after waking up feeling refreshed and full of energy, she was about to leave when she realized that Huo Tingying had forgotten an important document. Yun Mu decided to deliver it to him on her way out.

Arriving at the CEO's office, the door was slightly ajar, with Feng Shuo standing guard outside.

She approached with a puzzled look, "Why are you standing here? Where is Tingying?"

Feng Shuo immediately made a gesture for silence and pointed inside.

Yun Mu peeked in and saw Huo Tingying on the phone, his face dark and visibly agitated.

After hanging up, he slammed his phone onto the desk with such force that it shattered into pieces.

"Smash!" The phone broke into four parts.

Then, he kicked the leg of the desk.

Yun Mu turned back and whispered to Feng Shuo, "What happened?"

Feng Shuo lowered his voice, "Several projects that the Imperial Group was interested in have run into problems."

"What kind of problems?"

"There was a resort project by the southern shore that Young Master had wanted to secure. The land deal was almost finalized, but suddenly the other party backed out. Not only that, several other key projects were also snatched away by someone else."

"And these projects were all taken over by the same company. We've never heard of this company before in the capital; it seems to be a foreign investment called Lanyu Group. They're clearly targeting us, but we know nothing about them. Even if Young Master wants to recover the losses, he has no idea where to start."

At this point, Feng Shuo glanced back at the study and whispered, "Madam, why don't you give me the documents, and I'll pass them to Young Master once he calms down? Going in now would just put you in the line of fire."

Yun Mu, however, showed no intention of leaving, deep in thought. "If the land deal was already settled and the seller suddenly backed out, it means the other party offered a higher price and must be quite influential to make the seller risk offending the Imperial Group."

"The hackers from Lanyu stole our internal information and offered five times our bid."

Yun Mu narrowed her eyes.

Five times—quite a significant amount.

Lanyu must either have too much money or a grudge against Huo Tingying.

Moreover, being able to steal Emperor Group's internal information suggests they are not ordinary hackers.

Yun Mu remained calm, but her mind was racing.

Could Lanyu Group be related to END?

A cold smile appeared on her lips.

"You go check the whereabouts of the land seller. I'll go in and see what's happening."

With that, Yun Mu knocked on the door and entered.

"Tingying."

Seeing her come in, the frown on Huo Tingying's face eased slightly.

He didn't want Yun Mu to see his darker side.

"Why are you here?"

"I came to deliver some documents." Yun Mu handed him the file and then got straight to the point. "I heard that your projects were snatched by a company called Lanyu Group?"

Huo Tingying frowned, "It's not a big deal. You don't need to worry about it."

"Do you suspect anything about Lanyu's background?"

Huo Tingying's eyes narrowed deeply.

"A company that suddenly rose in the capital and successfully bypassed your surveillance to steal our internal information is not something an ordinary company can do. It's likely that Lanyu is connected to Huo Jinzhou and Yun Shuiyao."

Huo Tingying, "My people have been keeping an eye on their movements. They couldn't have avoided my surveillance."

"They might not be able to, but what about the END organization?"

Huo Tingying's expression turned cold.

"It seems Yun Shuiyao harbors resentment towards you because of love. Since she can't have you, she's using Huo Jinzhou to destroy your business empire." Yun Mu gave him a teasing smile and picked up the car keys from the table. "Come with me to a place."

Huo Tingying sat there without moving, "Where?"

"To find the land seller for the resort project. To determine who is behind Lanyu Group, we need to start with this seller."

"I went to see him yesterday, but he refused to meet me and made it clear he wouldn't change his mind."

Yun Mu was unperturbed, "Yesterday was yesterday, today is different. Let's go and see what happens."

Huo Tingying looked at her intently, "What do you plan to do?"

"Meet this seller." And while we're at it, I want to trace the END leader in the Empire.

Huo Tingying actually didn't care much about losing those projects; he just felt challenged.

Even if Huo Jinzhou and Yun Shuiyao were plotting behind his back, he wouldn’t give it a second thought.

But he was quite curious to see what this little woman was up to.

Huo Tingying pondered for a moment, then got up and took the car keys. "Let's go."

...

Feng Shuo found out that the seller of the resort land had gone to the Imperial Casino in the capital today.

Yun Mu had never been to a casino before, and when she pushed open the door, she was momentarily dazzled.

Gleaming gold and opulent luxury.

Yun Mu considered herself well-traveled, but she still felt dizzy from the golden visual spectacle.

Huo Tingying, leading the way, knew the place well and guided her straight to their destination.

As they approached the private room, a group of henchmen blocked their path.

"Move aside," Huo Tingying said coldly.

"Sorry, our boss isn’t seeing anyone."

"Tell your boss that Huo Tingying is here."

The henchmen froze at the name, and before they could react, someone inside spoke.

"Let them in."

The door to the private room opened immediately.

The first thing she saw was a man sitting on a leather sofa facing the door.

The man had clear, refined features and an extraordinary presence. In front of him was a glass of whisky on ice, and his slender fingers were tapping lightly on the rim of the glass.

A faint, enigmatic smile played on his lips as he glanced over the two people in front of him, then raised an eyebrow coolly.

"It’s a pleasure to finally meet you both. Come in."

His voice was icy yet alluring.

Yun Mu looked at the man in disbelief and spoke, "Yun Shumo?"

The man gave her a calm smile, his eyes flashing with a cold charm.

"It’s been a long time, sister."

That word, "sister," made Yun Mu shiver involuntarily.

Damn!

The owner of this resort wasn’t some old man or a middle-aged, paunchy man; it was actually Yun Xiaosha’s elusive second brother!

The notorious playboy of the gaming world and the ruler of the nightlife scene, Yun Shumo?

Yun Shumo raised an eyebrow at Huo Tingying beside her and greeted him, "Mr. Huo, we finally meet."
