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

Chapter 373

Zeng Er laughed along, his face full of mockery: "That's right, Li Qitian, if you dare to touch anyone from the Zeng family, and the higher-ups blame you, you'd better think carefully about whether you can still hold onto your position as the head of the police station."

Ignoring their mockery, Li Qitian looked at Lin Ling and, receiving a reassuring look, waved his hand and shouted to the police officers behind him, "Men, handcuff Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er!"

The officers, following orders, quickly surrounded him. Zeng Qiang panicked, struggling and roaring, "You dare! You've got some nerve! I'm calling my uncle, and you'll be sorry!"

Zeng Er, no longer displaying his previous arrogance, shouted with feigned bravado but inwardly weak voice: "Li Qitian, you are abusing your power by arresting people without authorization. If you have no evidence, you can expect to have your police uniform ripped off!"

Li Qitian sneered: "Abuse of power? Arresting people without authorization? We are acting in accordance with the law. Every single one of your crimes is supported by irrefutable evidence. Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he couldn't save you. Take him away!"

The police officers quickly subdued Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er and handcuffed them.

The two continued to shout and curse as they were dragged toward the police station.

Su Qingyan watched in stunned silence. She hadn't expected Lin Ling and Li Qitian to actually arrest the Zeng family so swiftly and decisively.

Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er were dumbfounded.

Have Lin Ling and Li Qitian gone mad?

They really caught them.

If Li Qitian is found guilty of illegally arresting people, he could lose his police uniform.

Could it be that we've really caught them red-handed?

Even if he had something on Li Qitian, how could he dare to take action?

Aren't they afraid of the powerful figures behind the Zeng family?

As Zeng Qiang was being dragged along by the police officers, he was still shouting at the top of his lungs: "Li Qitian, you idiot, do you think you can rest easy just because you arrested us? I'd like to see how you'll handle this when my uncle shows up!"

Zeng Er chimed in, "That's right! Our Zeng family has been rooted in Nanzhou for so many years, our roots are deeply entrenched, and you can't easily shake us!"

"You're ruining your future and dragging your family down with you. Don't regret it later!"

Lin Ling raised an eyebrow and shouted at their backs, "Instead of shouting yourself hoarse, you should save your energy to think about how to confess your crimes."

"Uncle? Even if your uncle comes, you'll still have to admit defeat."

Su Qingyan looked terrified and backed away repeatedly.

She thought Lin Ling and Li Qitian must have gone mad.

Zeng Fa and Zeng Qiang did nothing wrong, yet they dared to illegally arrest people in broad daylight.

Aren't you afraid of being blamed by your superiors?

She retreated repeatedly, wishing she could run away immediately.

But Lin Ling and Li Qitian's eyes both fell on her.

Su Qingyan stopped in her tracks, swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice, "Why are you looking at me... You, you're not going to arrest me too, are you?"

"Arresting you would be too easy," Lin Ling sneered. "You owe so much money, you should just stay out here and let your debtors chase you."

Su Qingyan glared fiercely at Lin Ling.

Just then, the piercing sound of police sirens rang out.

Three police cars with cameras in the provincial capital drove into the police station gate.

Next came a man with a stern face and a burly build, who appeared to be in his fifties.

Li Qitian's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but take a step back: "The deputy governor of the provincial capital police headquarters, Zeng Qiang's uncle."

Lin Ling raised an eyebrow and looked at the deputy governor without fear.

As soon as the deputy governor got out of the car, his eyes swept over everyone like a hawk, finally settling on Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er, who were handcuffed. His face instantly turned so gloomy it could drip water.

He strode forward with long, powerful steps, his aura seemingly carrying a tangible sense of oppression, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er's eyes lit up when they saw the deputy governor.

"Uncle, you must stand up for us! We just came to see our third brother, and Li Qitian arrested us without even asking what happened," Zeng Er said hurriedly.

“That’s right, we did nothing wrong, why are they arresting us?” Zeng Qiang also said angrily; “Li Qitian has only been the head of the bureau for a few days, and he thinks he can control the entire Nanzhou.”
