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

Chapter 378

Zeng Citian's face immediately darkened, and he looked coldly at Luo Yilin.

Loylin's shrill roar rang out.

Enraged, Loylin whirled around, pointed at the officers who had spoken, and roared shrilly, "What do you know!"

"Stop shouting nonsense here. How could you possibly understand the complexity behind this case?"

"Governor Zeng's decision has its reasons, and it's none of your business to interfere!"

She then looked at Zeng Citian, a fawning smile on her face, and said urgently, "Governor Zeng, don't listen to their nonsense. What do these low-ranking police officers know about handling cases?"

“They love to make unfounded accusations and exaggerate to gain credit. Their so-called ‘evidence’ may be fabricated and pieced together, so it’s not reliable.”

Zeng Citian's face remained gloomy. He ignored Luo Yilin and instead shouted at the police officers, "You lot, as police officers, obeying orders is your duty. Whether the evidence is true or false is not for you to judge. Shut up!"

A young police officer, his face flushed, stood firm: "Governor Zeng, obeying orders is the right thing to do, but if those orders violate the law and justice, we absolutely cannot obey!"

"As a high-ranking official in the provincial capital's police department, you should set an example and uphold justice, instead of helping the Zeng family cover up their crimes."

Upon seeing this, Zeng Qiang cursed, "You little brat, you dare to talk back! Do you believe I'll rip your police uniform off right now?"

Lin Ling stepped forward at the opportune moment and said loudly, "Everyone, I admire your sense of justice! Today, if anyone dares to destroy evidence or undermine justice, I, Lin Ling, will be the first to object!"

"I have plenty of ways to make this a big deal, so that the whole society can see just how lawless the Zeng family is and how brazenly certain people are protecting them!"

Zeng Qiang glared at Lin Ling: "Lin Ling, stop stirring up trouble! This is an internal matter of the police station, it's none of your business."

"Still dare to spread rumors and contradict your superiors?" Luo Yilin glared at Lin Ling and said to the police officers, "His crimes are irrefutable. He slandered the Zeng Group, colluded with the Black Wolf Gang to commit crimes, and issued exorbitant loans."

"Arrest him now and interrogate him thoroughly!"

The officers exchanged glances but dared not move.

Seeing that no one responded, Luo Yilin's face grew even uglier. She raised her voice and roared, "What? Are you all deaf? I told you to arrest Lin Ling, didn't you hear me?"

A senior police officer stepped forward and said, forcing himself to speak, "Deputy Chief Luo, arrests require solid evidence. You're ordering arrests without any proof, which is against procedure."

"Moreover, Mr. Lin has always cooperated with the police in handling the case, so it is really hard to convince the public of the charges against him."

“Yes, Deputy Chief Luo, if we rashly arrest someone and cause trouble later, we can’t bear the responsibility,” another officer chimed in.

Lin Ling smiled coldly as he looked at Luo Yilin: "Deputy Director Luo, you're really going to any lengths to curry favor with the Zeng family. You're just trying to arrest me by framing me with a few charges. Do you think anyone will listen to you?"

"Or is it that, in your eyes, the Nanzhou Police Station has become your Zeng family's private office?"

Zeng Er frowned deeply. He hadn't expected these police officers to dare to openly defy Luo Yilin's orders. He immediately shouted angrily, "You police officers, you've gone too far!"

"You don't even follow orders from your superiors, and you're still trying to make excuses. I think you don't want to work for the police station anymore!"

Seeing this, Li Qitian's eyes were filled with relief.

It seems that although there are people like Loylin who curry favor with the powerful in the police department, they are only a minority.

Many more people, like myself, firmly believe in ideals and beliefs and are idealists who uphold justice and the law.

He glanced at Loylin, a flash of anger crossing his eyes.

You bastard, do you really think you've latched onto Zeng Citian's coattails?

Hehe... You're overthinking it.

My buddy and I had everything arranged long ago, and even the mayor of the capital city would stand up for us.

After I've dealt with the Zeng family, I'll see how I deal with you and your bunch of lackeys.
