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

Chapter 375

Upon hearing this, Li Qitian's expression changed.

Having served as a police officer for many years, he had a psychological fear of the words "suspension for self-reflection".

Moreover, these words were spoken personally by the deputy governor of the provincial capital's police headquarters.

With the power of a vice governor, he is fully entitled to suspend himself from his post and reflect on his actions.

Moreover, they had no room to resist.

Seeing Li Qitian's pale face, Zeng Qiang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Director Li, didn't you think you could control everything in Nanzhou? Weren't you so arrogant just now?"

"What? You're too scared to speak as soon as you hear that we're going to take off your clothes?"

"Pah! If it weren't for your clothes, you wouldn't even be a pile of dog shit in my eyes."

Zeng Er also joined in the mockery: "Li Qitian, you've finally met your match! You still think you can go against the Zeng family? You're like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating your own strength."

“As soon as your uncle spoke, you immediately revealed your true colors.”

Upon hearing this, Li Qitian was slightly shaken; he never expected the deputy governor to resort to such a tactic.

Seeing the confident look in Lin Ling's eyes, he felt relieved and said, "Deputy Governor, you don't have that authority! Suspension has a strict procedure; it's not something you can decide with just a few words."

"Besides, everything I did was in accordance with the law and I did not make any mistakes. There is no reason for me to accept such punishment."

Lin Ling looked at the deputy governor with a mocking expression.

Very well, they're finally going to abuse their power for private gain.

It was worth all the effort he and Li Qitian put in.

The evidence against the Zeng family for hiring someone to commit murder is irrefutable and there is no way to clear their name.

So no matter what the deputy governor did, he didn't care at all.

The main goal now is to provoke various forces within the Zeng family to step forward and use their private power for the Zeng family.

They gradually drew out the Zeng family's hidden trump cards.

To avoid having to single them out one by one later.

When the mayor officially takes action, the Zeng family's power can be wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving the Zeng family utterly defeated.

He feigned indignation and said, "Deputy Governor, this is clearly an abuse of power. Just because we lawfully arrested your nephew, you are retaliating against us?"

"If this gets out, the public isn't blind. Are you sure you can withstand the pressure from public opinion?"

The deputy governor scoffed, "Public opinion? I'd like to see who in Nanzhou dares to gossip!"

"I advise you not to collude with Lin Ling. At best, he's just a businessman with some money. He has no power or influence. Is it worth taking such a big risk to help him?"

Li Qitian said in a deep voice, "Deputy Governor, I am not helping anyone, but punishing the three Zeng brothers, Zeng Qiang, Zeng Er, and Zeng Fa, according to the law."

“They committed crimes and should naturally be severely punished by law.”

"You're suspending me without following proper procedures; isn't that colluding with the Zeng family?"

Upon hearing this, the deputy governor was so angry he laughed.

Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er both looked at Li Qitian as if he were an idiot.

Do you discuss the process with your immediate supervisor?

Isn't this something that can be solved with a phone call?

"Fine, fine, fine." The deputy governor said "fine" three times in a row, and said angrily, "You want to talk to me about procedures, right? Fine, now I'll tell you what procedures are."

After saying that, he took out his phone and made a call.

All eyes were on the deputy governor, and the room was so quiet that the only sound was the dial tone of his cell phone.

A moment later, the call connected, and the deputy governor said to the other end, "Hello, is this the Discipline Inspection Bureau office? This is Zeng Citian, the deputy governor of the provincial capital police bureau."

“Li Qitian, the head of the Nanzhou Police Bureau, committed serious violations of regulations and discipline during law enforcement. I now demand an immediate and comprehensive investigation into him, his suspension from duty, and further handling according to procedures.”

After hanging up the phone, the deputy governor looked at Li Qitian smugly: "This is the procedure. Didn't you want to hear about the procedure? I'll satisfy you now. Just wait to be investigated."

Li Qitian's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He hadn't expected the deputy governor to actually call and suspend him from his post.

"Li Qitian, just wait for the notification, hahaha." Zeng Qiang couldn't help but laugh loudly, "After your uncle makes this call, it probably won't be long before you receive the news of your suspension."

The surrounding police officers were terrified upon hearing this and couldn't help but take a step back.

Several of Li Qitian's staunch henchmen couldn't help but loosen their grip on Zeng Qiang and Zeng Fa.

If their own boss has been suspended with just one phone call, and they still don't know what's good for them, they're probably doomed.

When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well.

They, these fish in the mud, could be easily crushed by the deputy governor.

Just then, Li Qitian's cell phone rang.

He hurriedly answered the call, and then a cold, piercing voice rang out: "Li Qitian, right? You've been suspended from your duties. The suspension period is undetermined. You're currently going through the handover procedures with the deputy director of Nanzhou."

"Once the process is complete, please come to the provincial capital immediately to receive further training and education."
