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

Chapter 260

He stared at Lin Ling in terror, his face flushed with anger, unable to utter a single word: "You, you..."

He never expected Lin Ling to be so ruthless.

Exposing it at the city's premier banquet was bad enough, but to go and get so many people and media involved to blow things up even more.

They were even more shocked by Lin Ling's ruthless methods.

Everyone present was stunned and stared in disbelief at Lin Ling's cold expression.

Lin Ling's ruthless methods completely overturned their understanding.

In their eyes, Lin Ling was just a promising new tycoon with underground forces and some legitimate support.

Lin Ling's swift and decisive actions this time completely refreshed their understanding of Lin Ling's strength.

They also witnessed how the underground forces they looked down upon could stir up such a storm in such a short time.

That's when they realized they could do it this way.

Lin Tianwu was so frightened by this scene that he trembled all over.

If it weren't for the fact that the incident involving the orphanage happened so long ago and there's no substantial evidence, it would be difficult to prove otherwise.

Otherwise, with Lin Ling's methods, he would have been dead long ago.

Lin Zhengguo scoffed, "You've got some skills and you're already so arrogant. Going against the Zeng family is just asking for trouble."

The mayor also received the message from his secretary, and his face turned extremely grim.

Upon seeing this, Secretary Cui Yan glared fiercely at Li Qitian, then slammed her hand on the table and roared, "Is this ever going to end? Everyone, quiet down!"

"Today is the mayor's birthday. How can you all cause such a ruckus? Do you even respect the mayor?"

The scene fell silent.

Only Zeng Fa remained, staring at Lin Ling with a murderous look on his face.

The mayor spoke coldly: "Zeng Fa, did you do these things?"

"No, no." Zeng Fa quickly shook his head, pointing at Lin Ling angrily and saying, "This kid framed me."

"Mayor, how cruel of him to do something like this at your birthday party."

"This is clearly a sign of disrespect towards you, and they even want to kill me."

Lin Ling just sneered: "What goes around comes around. You don't even dare to admit what you did?"

“Zeng Fa, I have complete evidence of your crimes.”

"I advise you to confess honestly and surrender."

Mayor Song looked at Lin Ling with a cold gaze.

He understood that Lin Ling's actions were intended to use someone else to do his dirty work.

By making a big fuss and putting himself in a difficult position, he can let public opinion pressure him and use his own power to bring Zeng Fa to justice.

He sneered, "President Lin, you have quite the nerve. You've shown me just how arrogant youth can be."

"Mayor, I had no choice but to do this." Lin Ling said sincerely, "I am an orphan and was raised by the director."

"But the hospital director was beaten by Zeng Fa and hospitalized, and my brother was almost forced to have his kidney removed. I just couldn't stand it."

"There is no evidence that Lin Tianwu assaulted the director and smashed up the orphanage, so I will let him go for now."

"But now that the whole situation has turned out so badly, I would feel ashamed if I didn't do something about it, as I would have failed the headmaster who raised me."

Everyone nodded.

"If it were me, I would probably do the same."

"Isn't this a blood feud for killing one's parents?"

"Young people are too impulsive, but they should be impulsive."

"What? Lin Tianwu actually did something like that?"

Lin Tianwu's face turned pale, and he lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of the crowd.

But his eyes were full of anger and malice.

By bringing this up in public, isn't Lin Ling trying to kill him?

All eyes were on the mayor.

How to handle this matter is entirely up to the mayor.

On one side is Lin Ling, whose evidence is irrefutable but whose strength is relatively weak.

On one side is the Zeng family, a prominent clan in Nanzhou.

Under normal circumstances, the mayor would definitely choose to help the Zeng family.

But now that things have blown up, if the mayor chooses to help Zeng Fa, he will face enormous public pressure.

It might even affect his career.

The matter seemed to be a done deal.
