The matter concerning Deng Hui is progressing rapidly, thanks to Lao Liu's prior preparations and sufficient evidence, as well as the simultaneous filing of police reports by several victims.

With the facts of the case clear and the evidence sufficient, the police immediately arrested Deng Hui.

The case has now been submitted to the procuratorate for review and will soon be heard in court. According to Lao Liu, this kid has been on the run for five or six years this time.

When Deng Jiajia learned about this, her expression was strange; she couldn't say she was sad or happy. That day, Li Mu got her drunk, and she acted very wildly that night, as if she wanted to vent all the emotions that had been building up inside her.

The next morning, Li Mu noticed a significant change in Deng Jiajia's demeanor. Her former somber and gloomy air had vanished, replaced by a bright and cheerful personality.

As if she had let go of her burdens and responsibilities, washed away her makeup, and become so bright and beautiful, as if she had been reborn.

Li Mu knew that after experiencing the shock of last night and shedding her burden, she had undergone a spiritual transformation and rediscovered her former self.

……

Deng Jiajia's study abroad went very smoothly. After all, it's the capital city, where there are many professional study abroad agencies. As long as the money is right, she can choose any foreign university except for a few world-renowned ones.

With the recommendation of an agency and the approval of Li Mu, Deng Jiajia finally chose a university in the UK with a long history, a strong reputation, and a world ranking that surpasses many key universities in China.

Although it's not a world-renowned university, Deng Jiajia was still pleasantly surprised.

Now that he has resigned, he no longer cares about anything else and goes to the preparatory class on time every day, showing great effort.

I estimate that I will officially embark on my journey to the UK in two or three months.

Chapter 80 Magic

On this day, the advertising revenue sharing for the two games came down again, with about 2.4 million RMB in China and as much as 1.7 million USD overseas.

The amount seems quite high, but the increase is not significant compared to last month.

The reason is simple: while the game has a large influx of new users, it also has a large number of old users who have gotten tired of the game or are experiencing aesthetic fatigue, and have quit.

Nevertheless, the success of these two simple games is truly remarkable. They have also gained considerable recognition within the domestic indie game development community.

Just a few days ago, a major domestic game operator sent an acquisition offer, mentioning that it wanted to supplement the company's overseas layout.

The offer was quite generous, directly asking for 4.5 million RMB, to acquire the company through a combination of cash and stock, roughly 2 million RMB in cash plus 2.5 million RMB worth of company stock.

To be honest, Li Mu was very tempted.

While these two games are profitable, their success is not sustainable. Every game has its own lifespan, which can be long or short.

Flappy Bird and 2048 are no exception. Perhaps they will maintain their peak popularity for a few more months before their popularity gradually declines and their revenue drops sharply.

His goal in developing these two games was to make money, and now that he has achieved that goal, there's no need to let them become a burden.

However, acquisitions are all about push-pull tactics; you can't just agree to whatever price the other party makes.

The true peak of these two games has not yet arrived, and he has enough time to continue the conversation with the other party before that happens.

……

Just then, the interior decoration of the villa was completed, and Li Mu's hotel package expired, so he moved back. He also hired a skilled housekeeper to cook and clean for him.

This incident made Yang Tao feel a little down. The two of them hadn't been in much contact lately, and with Li Mu moving out of the hotel, they had even fewer opportunities to meet.

It was almost time to get off work. Yang Tao had made plans to go shopping with Lan Weiwei today, but after glancing outside a few times, Lan Weiwei still hadn't arrived.

Just as she was about to turn around and walk back to the hall, a familiar figure suddenly came into view, walking straight towards her. Yang Tao was slightly pleased, but she put on a blank expression and turned her head slightly away.

Li Mu stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? I haven't seen you like this for days. Did you miss me?"

Yang Tao rolled her eyes at him: "Who misses you? I'm waiting for Weiwei!"

Li Mu feigned a disappointed expression: "I've been thinking about you so much these past few days, and you don't miss me at all. I'm heartbroken."

Yang Tao looked unconvinced: "Liar, you lie without even thinking. You talk a good game, but I haven't seen you for days."

Li Mu laughed and said, "So you're upset that I haven't shown up for a few days. Sigh... I've been a bit busy lately and have neglected my Peach. I'll do a magic trick to make up for it."

Yang Tao was stunned for a moment: "Magic, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Mu reached out his hand: "Peach, try blowing on it!"

Yang Tao was a little confused and curious, so she gently blew on Li Mu's hand.

Li Mu smiled faintly, his hands moving in a few deceptive gestures. With a flick of his right hand, a rose suddenly appeared and was handed over.

"Miss Yangtao, this is just a small gift, nothing more."

Yang Tao was pleasantly surprised by the result, and then playfully hit Li Mu twice, her face full of curiosity.

"You, you... how did you do that? It's amazing, just like the magicians on TV."

"A mere trifle." Li Mu had barely uttered those words when a hand suddenly waved, and another rose appeared in his hand.

"Miss Yangtao, please accept this."

Yang Tao was a little excited. She happily accepted the rose, looked at it from left to right, and realized that it was a real flower. Her face immediately turned slightly red.

Li Mu said, "Peach, if you accept my flowers, you're mine!"

Yang Tao spat and said, "Who's your person? You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"

Li Mu feigned sadness: "I've already taken the flowers, but they're refusing to honor their promise."

Yang Tao looked both amused and exasperated: "I accepted your flowers, which means...it means you..." she stammered at the end.

Li Mu retorted unreasonably, "Rose symbolizes love. If you accept my rose, doesn't that prove you love me? Your heart is mine now."

Yang Tao rolled her eyes at him: "Who loves you! Didn't you just say it was for making amends? You didn't keep your word."

Li Mu said, "Really! So you've forgiven me, Peach. There are no more obstacles between us. Can we start a love affair that's earth-shattering and tear-jerking?"

Yang Tao said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "You bad boy, I'm not going to date you!"

Li Mu feigned sadness.

"Peach, if you say that, I'm going to be sad."

Peach said with a smug look, "I don't believe it."

……

After the two chatted for a while, the alluring Lan Weiwei arrived, looking at Li Mu with curiosity.

"Peach, is this your boyfriend?"

Yang Tao blushed slightly and slapped Lan Weiwei, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lan Weiwei said with a grin, "Isn't it just a matter of time?"

Yang Tao hurriedly explained to Li Mu, "This is Lan Weiwei, my best female friend."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Ms. Weiwei. But why do you say it's my best female friend? Do you also have a male best friend?"

Yang Tao said, "There really is one. His name is Jiao Yang. He, Weiwei, and I grew up together since we were little."

Li Mu laughed and said, "So that's how it is!"

Then he looked at Lan Weiwei and said, "Beautiful Weiwei, would you mind adding me as a friend?"

Lan Weiwei glanced at him with some surprise, then looked at Taozi: "Sure! But aren't you afraid Taozi will get jealous if you add me as a friend in front of her?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "What's the big deal? My Taozi is very tolerant and broad-minded! Besides, you're best friends, why would she be jealous?"

"Is it a peach?" Li Mu said, looking at what resembled a starfruit.

Yang Tao rolled her eyes at Li Mu and said to Lan Weiwei, "It's okay, let him add me if he wants!"

Lan Weiwei said with a grin, "Alright! Perfect, I can keep an eye on him for you when I have nothing else to do."

After adding each other as friends and chatting for a while, Peach and Weiwei decided to go shopping together and then parted ways.

……

Li Mu returned home and had just finished dinner when he received a call from Lao Liu.

"Hey Lao Liu, why are you calling me at this hour?"

Old Liu said with a hint of excitement, "I found it."

Li Mu: "What did you find out?"

Old Liu explained, "We have already found evidence of Li Wei's embezzlement over the past two years."

Although Li Mu was not surprised, he was quite satisfied with the result.

"Old Liu, you're very efficient! You found it so quickly. How much is it?"

Old Liu said, "Two years ago, his position was only a middle-level manager in the company, and the amount was not very large. In addition, as time went by, it was difficult to verify many things. The only evidence we have is more than 300,000. Half a year ago, he was promoted to vice president. With more power, his greed also increased. We have found more than one million and have evidence."

"But lately, his appetite seems to be getting bigger and bigger; if it had been a few months later, the amount would have been even greater."

The total amount that could be verified was only a little over 1.3 million, which was somewhat different from what Li Mu had imagined. He remembered that a few months later, Li Wei had embezzled more than 1 million in a single quarter, but now, after being a vice president for half a year, he had only embezzled about 1 million.

It seems that he only gradually became bolder and more ambitious after becoming vice president. Perhaps he doesn't have enough power now, but he'll have more power in the future.

Li Mu said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. You should organize the evidence first. I've already communicated with Lao Wang, and everything's fine there. After I take care of a few more things, we can take action."

Old Liu asked curiously, "What is it?"

Li Mu said, "Don't worry about anything else, just help me out a little more."

Old Liu asked, "What kind of help?"
