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

Chapter 256

Mayor Song could obviously see that it was a slander, but sometimes he had to play dumb because of his position.

After all, even the Zeng family and Yang Li had spoken up.

If we favor Lin Ling, we will offend both major forces.

He gave his secretary a wink.

The mayor's secretary suddenly shouted angrily, "What's all this noise about? If you're not genuinely celebrating the mayor's birthday, then get out!"

His loud shout immediately silenced everyone.

The mayor slowly said, "President Lin, you should find someone more knowledgeable to appraise this kind of thing of dubious origin."

Lin Ling suppressed his anger and did not speak further.

He knew the mayor was trying to appease the situation.

The city's top official absolutely must acquire this painting.

but not now.

He nodded calmly, his cold gaze sweeping over Yang Li and Zeng Fa.

It's one thing for Lin Tianwu and Lin Zhengguo to cause trouble for themselves.

Unexpectedly, these two people were also adding fuel to the fire.

It also includes Su Qingyan.

Seeing this, Lin Tianwu glanced at Lin Ling with a smug look in his eyes, but did not pursue the matter further.

If we continue to pursue this matter, the mayor might lead a group of people to kick us out.

The banquet continued, and everyone exchanged gifts.

Soon it was time for everyone to eat and chat with each other.

Based on the future development direction, Lin Ling also took a wine glass and toasted with some people.

He noticed out of the corner of his eye that Su Qingyan was surrounded by a group of people, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

I'm afraid she's trying to trick people into investing in her Xinhe Salt Lake project again.

And I also heard her mention her name from time to time.

Lin Ling picked up her wine glass, walked over coldly, and looked at Su Qingyan with a calm expression.

Everyone chuckled to themselves upon seeing Lin Ling's attitude.

"It's just a little money I'll give you," Su Qingyan said smugly. "If you can invest in that project, why can't I?"

"I advise you to be careful. I have nothing to do with you. Don't try to fool people by using my name," Lin Ling said coldly.

Su Qingyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "The more you deny it, the more people will believe it. You should find somewhere cool to go and not interfere with our money-making."

Everyone looked at Lin Ling with displeasure.

"Mr. Lin, that's not very fair of you."

"What does it have to do with you that Miss Su helps us make money?"

"I heard that project is very profitable, is that true?"

Lin Ling looked at the crowd, who were completely fooled, and just sneered: "I advise you not to believe her, or you'll suffer losses later, don't blame me."

"Are you so jealous of me?" Su Qingyan said angrily, "Lin Ling, if you hadn't held me back all these years, I could definitely have developed the Su Group into a company no less successful than the Lingyun Group."

"Just you wait, you'll regret your attitude towards me now."

Lin Ling shook his head and smiled, then walked away.

At that moment, his phone vibrated.

He picked up his phone, walked outside into the lobby, lit a cigarette, and then answered the call.

Black Wolf's trembling voice rang out: "Mr. Lin, we've found the culprit who beat the orphanage director into hospital."

"Who is it!" Lin Ling's eyes turned cold, filled with killing intent.

No matter who it is, if they dare to beat Liu Ma to the point of hospitalization and try to forcibly take Xiao Wei's kidney, he will absolutely not let them go.

Just like Lin Tianwu, who caused so much harm to Liu Ma and the others back then, and even took away the money he had donated to the orphanage.

He was covered in blood from hitting himself.

If Lin Tianwu hadn't suddenly asked Yang Li, his powerful backer, to intervene, he would have really wanted to kill him.

Although I want to kill him now, I can't be as reckless as before.

But the plan to kill him was still underway.

Once the assassin is contacted, he can immediately have him take action.

Black Wolf's voice was hesitant: "Are you at the mayor's birthday banquet right now? That person is there too."

"Who!" Lin Ling's voice grew even colder.

His eyes were cold as he glanced back at the banquet hall filled with laughter and chatter.

Who is it!

"Please don't get agitated, and don't cause him any trouble at the mayor's banquet," Black Wolf said in a deep voice. "This person has a terrifying background and is very powerful."
