"That's right, you really are Ye Jinyan's right-hand man. Ye Jinyan really can't do without you, he takes you everywhere he goes."

Master Ma was furious when his identity was exposed.

Pointing to the door, he said, "Who are you? What nonsense are you spouting? Get out of here right now!"

Fearing he would lose the opportunity, he hurriedly turned to Zhu Suosuo and explained, "Suosuo, he's talking nonsense. He's some crazy guy. I don't know him at all, and I've never seen him before. I'm really a senior executive at Jingyan Group, and I can definitely arrange a job for you."

Zhu Suosuo is quite clever! She was indeed intimidated by Master Ma's imposing manner just now, but after Li Mu pointed it out, her intelligence returned. Looking at Mr. Ma's reaction now, she felt increasingly uneasy and no longer believed him.

Upon hearing this, he not only did not believe it, but instead took a few steps back.

Just as Master Ma was about to chase after him to explain, he was slapped across the face with a "smack".

His mind went blank for a moment, his face burning. Before he could react, "slap, slap..." several more slaps landed on his face.

Master Ma's eyes immediately lit up with stars, his face turned red and swollen, and he looked at Li Mu with a mixture of anger and fear.

"You hit me? You dare to hit me? Why did you hit me?"

Instead of Li Mu's words, he was met with a flying kick that sent Master Ma sprawling to the ground.

After stammering for a while, he finally came to his senses and said, both shocked and terrified, "You hit me! How dare you hit me! I'm calling the police! I'm going to have you arrested..."

Li Mu remained unmoved, smiled coldly, stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and slapped him several more times. Master Ma finally shut up, and Li Mu felt much better.

Because the private room was very well soundproofed, the commotion didn't disturb anyone outside, saving Li Mu a lot of trouble.

Seeing Master Ma's terrified face, Li Mu went up and kicked him a few more times.

He then smiled faintly and said, "Call the police? Sure! You're very welcome."

“I actually wanted to call the police. Today I met a swindler who claimed to be an old friend of Ye Jinyan from Jingyan Group. He even called him Old Ye and said he was his right-hand man. He also claimed to be a senior executive of Jingyan Group.”

"I think it's necessary to have the police investigate thoroughly, and it would be best to have Ye Jinyan come over to identify him and see if his old friend surnamed Ma, his good partner, his right-hand man, and the senior executive of Jingyan Group, is really real or fake?"

"Master Ma, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Master Ma's face twitched; he was terrified.

As Ye Jinyan's driver, if Ye Jinyan finds out that he is impersonating his friend, calling him "Old Ye," and claiming to be a senior executive of Jingyan Group, and using his car to flaunt his power and pick up girls!

Being fired is the least of your worries; the consequences will be much worse.

For a seasoned shrew like Ye Jinyan, who has been in the business world for many years, it's a mistake to assume he's a genuinely kind person just because he seems amiable.

Sometimes, being too conscientious won't get you far in the business world, and Ye Jinyan is no soft-hearted person.

Master Ma glanced at Li Mu cautiously, shaking his head vigorously like a rattle drum.

"Don't report it! Don't call the police! We can talk things over, we can talk things over... Don't call the police."

Li Mu smiled faintly and glanced at him sideways: "Tell me, why did you lie?"

Master Ma glanced at Zhu Suosuo discreetly and swallowed hard.

“I didn’t mean to. This Miss Zhu wanted to find a job and insisted on leaving her contact information. I saw that she was pretty and I was momentarily blinded by greed, so I… I had some wicked thoughts.”

"I really didn't mean it. This is the first time I've done this. It's just that Miss Zhu is so beautiful."

"I was wrong, I apologize..." she said, and then she started crying.

Li Mu kicked him again: "If you know you're wrong, then why don't you stand up and apologize to Miss Zhu Suosuo?"

"Yes, yes..." Master Ma was very obedient. He immediately stood up obediently, walked unsteadily to Zhu Suosuo, bowed and apologized, and tearfully told her about his mistakes. His expression was as sincere as could be.

Li Mu recorded all of this on his phone.

"Alright, that's enough for now. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself and explain it yourself."

"If you're thinking of doing something else, you'll be in for a world of hurt."

After saying that, she ignored him and pulled the bewildered Zhu Suosuo out of the private room.

Chapter 183 Want to Live Together

From the moment Li Mu took action to Master Ma's tearful apology, watching her cousin gradually expose Master Ma's true colors and sinister intentions, Zhu Suosuo's mind went blank, and she felt a chill run from her feet to her head.

She was almost scammed, almost fooled by a driver posing as a successful person, which was a significant blow to Zhu Suosuo.

She has always been proud of her intelligence and beauty, and looked down on her mama's boy cousin. Even though Luo Jiaming now earns a million a year, the impressions left after more than ten years of getting along are still difficult to change in a short time.

But today, she was foolishly deceived, and her cousin saw her pathetic state after being tricked, making her feel like she was going to die.

The only thing she hadn't expected was that Luo Jiaming would actually hit someone for her sake. He looked so handsome and dashing, with a domineering masculinity that suddenly warmed her heart and gave her a strange sense of security.

It's hard to imagine that the taciturn and honest Luo Jiaming would fight for her, and be so skilled at it.

Thinking of this, and seeing her cousin holding her hand tightly as they walked out of the restaurant, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her face turned a little red.

After leaving the restaurant, we arrived at the brand-new silver-gray Mercedes-Benz.

Li Mu said, "Get in the car!"

Zhu Suosuo subconsciously got into the car, then realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiaming, the Mercedes is yours! You bought a car!"

Li Mu nodded: "Yes, it was just mentioned in the last couple of days."

Zhu Suosuo was astonished; she hadn't seen Luo Jiaming for a few days, and now he was driving a Mercedes.

"Jiaming, you're amazing."

Li Mu chuckled and said, "It's alright! It's not easy to get your praise."

Then his tone changed, and his expression became much more serious: "Suo Suo, my silly cousin, you usually seem quite smart, what happened to you today? You almost got tricked by a driver."

Zhu Suosuo blushed: "Cousin Jiaming, I just want to find a job. Nansun just asked me to deliver a document to Ye Jinyan, the CEO of Jingyan."

She pouted as she spoke, "I saw that this was a rare opportunity, so I asked if I could get an internship. Who knew it wasn't Ye Jinyan, but his driver."

"How was I supposed to know that someone would impersonate Ye Jinyan at Jingyan Group!"

Li Mu tapped her on the forehead: "Whose fault is it! You didn't know at the time, and you didn't even bother to check afterwards. Ye Jinyan is such a famous person, there are photos and videos of him all over the internet. If you paid any attention, who would lie to you?"

“SuoSuo, you’ve always been clever and shrewd, yet you were fooled by such a simple lie.”

Zhu Suosuo lowered her head, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed.

"I know I was wrong."

Li Mu continued, "And then! He found out he wasn't Ye Jinyan, and he was still fooled."

Zhu Suosuo gritted her teeth and said, "He said he was a senior executive at Jingyan, and Ye's right-hand man, and could help me arrange work."

"I…"

Li Mu said, "So, my shrewd cousin was fooled by a driver again."

Zhu Suosuo's face flushed slightly.

Li Mu said, "Be more careful in the future, and don't be so ambitious. The car he drives belongs to the company, the suit he wears is also a company-issued driver, and even the money he spent on treating you to dinner was most likely embezzled public funds."

"This is not as simple as just seduction. Jingyan would have found out sooner or later. Fortunately, she saw through it early, otherwise you would have been implicated as well."

Seeing the lingering fear on Zhu Suosuo's face, Li Mu sighed.

"Alright, you understand the reasoning, so I won't say any more. Society is too complicated, and you're so beautiful, there are plenty of people out there who want to take advantage of you, so be more careful."

"Furthermore, you must understand that there are no free lunches. Those who take too many shortcuts will eventually pay the price. Don't be overly ambitious; being down-to-earth is the right path."

Zhu Suosuo nodded and hummed in agreement.

“I’ll remember that, cousin.”

Li Mu said, "Hmm! Where do you want to go next? How about I take you home? Get some rest, we can talk about job hunting later."

Zhu Suosuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Jiaming, I... I don't really want to go home right now. I want to find a quiet place to stay for a while."

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "How about we go to my newly rented apartment?"

Zhu Suosuo hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Okay! I haven't been to your new place yet."

Li Mu smiled.

"Then I'll show you around today."

The car sped along and soon arrived at an upscale residential area. As Zhu Suosuo followed Li Mu into the fifteenth-floor apartment, her eyes lit up immediately.

The 180-square-meter three-bedroom apartment, decorated entirely in a light luxury style, is quite a shock to Zhu Suosuo now.

In her memory, her cousin Luo Jiaming was not only a mama's boy, but also a typical STEM guy with no sense of romance, which was one of the reasons she looked down on him.

When I moved out, most of the apartments I stayed in were simple, one-bedroom units, nothing special. I never expected it to be a spacious 180-square-meter three-bedroom apartment, so stylish!

Looking at the stylish and grand house, and thinking that my cousin Luo Jiaming would be living here from now on, I couldn't help but feel envious.

Thinking about my small room, with just one window, the interior is grimy from years of use and the smell of cooking fires. Across the alley, there's a bakery, and I can often smell the aroma of freshly baked bread.

The room was even more rudimentary, with a bed, a desk, and an old-fashioned wardrobe. The mirror was oval-shaped and inlaid on the wardrobe door. When you sat at the desk, you could see your reflection in the mirror when you turned to the side.

This was the place where she had lived in the Luo family for more than ten years. It was simple and oppressive, a world apart from this place.

Looking at the big house in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a faint longing.

Li Mu led her on a brief tour.
