Chapter 184: Land or Person?

Clearly, Huo Tingying had just learned that the seller of the resort land was none other than his third brother-in-law.

Before Huo Tingying could speak, Yun Mu stepped forward and said, "Since we're all family, let's be frank. Why did you sell that piece of land to the Lanyu Group? You don't seem like someone who needs money."

Yun Shumo smiled at Yun Mu, hinting, "Who would turn down money? Besides, I don't believe you can't guess why I sold it to the Lanyu Group."

Yun Mu narrowed her eyes coldly, "The Lanyu Group is connected to Yun Shuiyao, so you're deliberately helping her against me?"

This Yun family really does favor that green tea bitch!

"It's not that the Yun family is stupid, letting Yao'er manipulate us. However... my relationship with Yao'er is indeed deeper than with you, plus the Lanyu Group offered a high price. I have no reason to refuse her!"

Yun Shumo sounded innocent and made sense.

"Didn't you think about how Yun Shuiyao suddenly has such power? Aren't you afraid of aiding a villain?" Yun Mu probed, "At least, shouldn't you understand your deeply affectionate sister better?"

"Everyone has secrets. Aren't you full of mysteries too?" Yun Shumo kept tight-lipped, sipping his wine, "The resort land has already been sold, and the contract is signed. If that's why you're here, you can leave now."

Yun Mu smiled and stepped forward, "Marriages can end in divorce; what's a contract? Give us the land, and Huo Tingying will double the price. He'll also cover the breach of contract fee."

Huo Tingying: "..."

When did he say that? Does he look like a fool?

Yun Shumo seemed intrigued, "Really? President Huo is so generous?"

Huo Tingying glanced at Yun Mu and nodded reluctantly.

Yun Shumo thought seriously, stroking his chin. After a while, he grinned mischievously, "President Huo's offer is indeed tempting."

There's hope!

Yun Mu's eyes lit up.

Given Yun Shuiyao's style, she wouldn't give up and would send the Lanyu Group people back to Yun Shumo.

Then Yun Mu could follow this person to find the END organization.

But then Yun Shumo said, "Why don't you make a choice?"

"What choice?"

Yun Shumo's fox-like eyes narrowed, and he smirked, "Choose between the land or the person."

Yun Mu frowned, "What do you mean?"

Yun Shumo smiled, signaling to the bodyguards behind him.

The side door of the private room opened, revealing a man in white shirt and black pants tied to a chair, his hair disheveled, giving Yun Mu a dejected smile.

"Hey, didn't expect to meet you here."

Yun Mu: "..."

Indeed, she didn't expect this!

Yun Mu stared in disbelief, "What's going on? Why are you here?"

And tied up like this?

Si Nanjue laughed bitterly, "Embarrassing, but I had to settle the mess for my incompetent nephew and ended up as collateral to Young Master Yun."

Yun Mu was confused and turned to Yun Shumo.

Yun Shumo glanced at Si Nanjue and smiled at Yun Mu, "Young Master Si came to my casino for fun, got carried away, and ended up owing three billion and a finger. Mr. Si promised to trade his pinky for his nephew."

Yun Mu's face changed, stepping closer to Si Nanjue, "Are you crazy? How can you perform surgery without a finger?"

Huo Tingying's expression darkened.

While Si's kid was a troublemaker, he wouldn't act so recklessly in a casino. Someone must have set a trap.

And this trap wasn't aimed at Si Mohan or Si Nanjue, but clearly at him and Yun Mu.

Yun Shumo anticipated they would come.

Yun Shumo continued to fan the flames, slowly pulling out a dagger, its sharp blade glinting under the lights.

He waved the sharp knife, looking directly at Huo Tingying, "So, do you want the resort land or Si Nanjue's pinky?"

Abandoning the resort land means giving Huo Jinzhou a chance to grow stronger.

But abandoning Si Nanjue means Grandpa Yun's third surgery won't happen on time.

Si Nanjue smiled, "I don't like owing favors. Young Master Yun, go ahead with our agreement—trade my pinky for Si Mohan."

Huo Tingying glared at him, "Shut up!"

"I'll pay the three billion, and forget the resort land!"

Finally, Huo Tingying gritted his teeth and spat out these words, extremely unwilling.

Everyone present was stunned by Huo Tingying's decision.

Even Yun Mu couldn't believe it, thinking Huo Tingying would let Si Nanjue fend for himself, given he wanted to kill him last time.

Most shocked was Si Nanjue.

Huo Tingying actually saved him? It's like the sun rising from the west...

Yun Shumo laughed out loud. "It seems President Huo has a truly broad chest, spending three billion to save his rival in love!"

Huo Tingying's handsome face darkened as he looked at Yun Shumo with cold, narrow eyes. "Young Master Yun is really having fun stomping on my face today. I'll remember this."

Yun Shumo’s fox-like eyes narrowed into a smile. "We're all family; it's just a little joke. I’ll have my assistant send you the account information later, and I’ll gladly accept the three billion."

Huo Tingying snorted coldly and then dragged Yun Mu away.

"Huo Tingying, your performance today was unexpected," Yun Mu said with a grin.

Huo Tingying angrily shoved Yun Mu into the car, got in himself with a dark face, and said, "If Yun Shumo had wanted one of Si Nanjue’s legs, I wouldn’t have said a word. But he only wanted a finger. I can’t stand him, but I don’t want your grandfather’s surgery to be unsuccessful."

A hint of warmth passed through Yun Mu’s heart, and she tilted her head with a smile. "Since you’re so concerned about me, I won’t let your three billion go to waste. Don’t worry; I’ll earn it back for you soon."

Huo Tingying silently curved his lips. "Mrs. Huo sure talks big. How do you plan to earn it back?"

She raised an eyebrow. "I have my ways; just wait and see."

But that smiling fox, Yun Shumo, was truly hard to read.

He extorted five times the land price from Yun Shuiyao and swindled three billion from Huo Tingying.

He’s really trying to bite off more than he can chew!

That’s quite an ugly sight.

"Can I borrow Feng Shuo for a bit? Have him investigate Yun Shumo," Yun Mu said.

Huo Tingying turned the steering wheel. "Send him a message."

He also wanted to know more about Yun Shumo. Today’s humiliation must be avenged!
