After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 248

Half an hour later, three Hummers and twelve bodyguards escorted Lin Ling from Lingyun Group to the secluded villa in the city center.

Soon, the convoy drove into the mountains on the outskirts of the city.

The usually deserted mountain road is now full of luxury cars.

This attracted the attention of local residents, who were all discussing what had happened.

Those who attended the banquet were all prominent figures, so naturally no information was revealed.

Lin Ling's three Hummers attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone knew without even thinking that Lin Ling had arrived.

Many important figures inside the car glanced at the vehicle, and some even instructed their drivers to turn on their hazard lights and make way.

Lin Ling sat in the car, a smile playing on her lips.

Before this, I rarely received the privilege of being given way.

It seems that these two troubles have made him famous.

After navigating the winding mountain roads, the three Hummers spotted a number of traffic police officers maintaining order.

They even put up a sign.

"Unauthorized vehicles are not allowed to enter."

Police officers then stopped the three vehicles.

The lead Hummer rolled down its window and showed its invitation before being allowed to pass.

The three Hummers continued driving.

The originally dilapidated mountain roads have all been transformed into brand-new asphalt roads.

The roadside is lined with various precious trees and meticulously maintained greenery.

A moment later, a huge villa appeared before them.

The place was already packed with people, all of whom were prominent figures from Nanzhou, and each of them was dressed in fine clothes.

Luxury cars, which are rarely seen on ordinary days, are everywhere here.

There were also countless police officers in uniform.

A dozen bodyguards got out of the car in unison, their backs ramrod straight, wearing sunglasses and holding black umbrellas, standing guard on both sides.

Yang Li, holding an umbrella, respectfully opened the car door for Lin Ling.

Everyone who saw this started talking about it.

"Isn't this Lin Ling, the chairman of Lingyun Group who's been making waves lately?"

"What a grand gesture! No wonder he's the kind of person who can bring down White Dog and Director Kong."

"He's only been in the limelight twice, yet he dares to act like this. He's young and impetuous, and his mind isn't clear."

A man in a suit saw Lin Ling get out of the car and hurriedly ran over with a warm smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Cui Yan, the mayor's secretary."

"Hello." Lin Ling shook hands with him with a faint smile on her face.

“Your bodyguards are not allowed into the banquet hall,” Cui Yan said with a smile. “However, there is a special restaurant to accommodate them.”

"Okay." Lin Ling nodded and looked at Yang Li and the others: "You guys go with Secretary Cui's people."

Yang Li saluted respectfully and left with several police officers beside Cui Yan.

Then, Lin Ling entered the banquet hall under Cui Yan's guidance.

This scene has also attracted a lot of discussion.

Although everyone present was a prominent figure, they were still quite different from Lin Ling.

Even with Lin Ling's status and position, he is still someone many people look up to.

"President Lin of Lingyun Group is indeed a promising young man."

"To have achieved so much at such a young age is truly shameful to us ordinary people."

"I heard his girlfriend ran away, so I need to make sure my daughter seizes this opportunity."

There are also many CEOs of multi-billion dollar corporations, but they have money but no power.

His power is far inferior to Lin Ling's, and his reputation is even further behind.

But that doesn't mean they would be willing to be inferior to Lin Ling.

"This kid actually got Secretary Cui to personally lead the way; it seems the mayor values ​​him highly."

"Tch, it's just a momentary moment of fame, look how smug he is."

"Young people are just too impetuous; they don't understand the saying that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind."

This scene was also witnessed by Lin Tianwu and Lin Zhengguo, who had come to the banquet.

The two men were bowing and scraping to the police officers who were blocking their way.

Please allow the two of you to enter the banquet hall together.

After all, the invitation the Lin family received was the lowest level, allowing only one person to enter the mayor's banquet.

Seeing the stark difference in treatment between themselves and Lin Ling, both of them looked displeased.

Why should someone who was originally considered a good-for-nothing be personally received by the mayor's secretary?

Why should they have to outwit and plead with the security guards at the gate?
