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

Chapter 380

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Market leader?

Is Li Qitian hoping for the mayor to come?

Does the mayor have something to protect him?

But why did he ask Lin Ling instead of making the call himself?

Lin Ling is just a businessman with some money; how could he possibly have connections with the mayor?

Zeng Citian also looked at Lin Ling with a puzzled expression.

Only then did he realize that the whole thing was clearly targeting Lin Ling.

Lin Ling did not become angry or flustered.

Instead, he just wandered around like nothing was wrong, occasionally making a few sarcastic remarks.

Could it be that he really has powerful backers?

Zeng Qiang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Li Qitian, are you out of your mind? What mayor?"

"When the mayor first arrived in Nanzhou, he was aloof and turned away countless important figures who came to visit."

"You and Lin Ling think you can get the mayor to back you up?"

Zeng Er also scoffed, "That's right, Big Brother is right! The mayor has never bothered with these trivial matters. You're just daydreaming."

Lin Ling smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

Li Qitian sneered, "Zeng Qiang, Zeng Er, don't be so arrogant. It's not up to you to decide what kind of person the mayor is or whether he'll take charge."

"You have committed numerous evils, and the evidence is irrefutable. Do you think that summoning a deputy governor will solve everything? Don't be naive."

Zeng Citian frowned, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

Although he held a high position of power in the Southern Wilderness police force, that was only within the police force.

This is Nanzhou, the territory of the Nanzhou City Chief. He wouldn't dare to go against the Nanzhou City Chief.

Not to mention that his rank is one level lower than that of the top official in Nanzhou City.

Moreover, if this matter really escalates to the mayor's office, and if the mayor is determined to investigate thoroughly, the Zeng family's shady dealings will be exposed.

After only a moment's thought, he shook his head with disdain and said, "So you're just using someone else's power to intimidate you? Do you really think I, Zeng Citian, am someone who can be easily frightened?"

"Even if Mayor Song comes, he'll still have to give me some face."

"Besides, we are acting in accordance with the law, so what are we afraid of?"

Luo Yilin had just thought that the mayor would really support Li Qitian, and was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled.

If the mayor comes, she's finished.

Li Qitian will definitely not let her go.

But upon hearing Zeng Citian's words, he immediately pointed triumphantly at Li Qitian: "Director Li, just admit defeat and get suspended. Don't fantasize about anything else."

"Kid, don't think you're so great just because you have a little money. You even dare to use the mayor's name as a shield." She pointed at Lin Ling triumphantly and said, "If you know what's good for you, you'd better put your hands on your head and squat down."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for having you handcuffed."

Lin Ling smiled faintly and said, "Who knows? The mayor might actually back up Li Qitian and me?"

"Zeng Qiang, Zeng Er, you two need to call for reinforcements right now."

"Otherwise, you'll be finished when the mayor arrives."

"No, it's not just you who are finished, the entire Zeng family is finished."

Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disdain.

"This kid's gone mad," Zeng Er sneered.

“I think so too.” Zeng Qiang nodded seriously.

"You don't have the ability to go against the Zeng family." Zeng Qiang said disdainfully, "I originally invited you to dinner out of kindness, hoping to turn hostility into friendship, but you don't know what's good for you, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Once you're arrested, I'll take over your Lingyun Group properly, don't worry."

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you," Zeng Er said smugly, "this morning, Lingyun Group was shut down due to various problems."

"The Commerce Bureau has also spoken with Lingyun Group's suppliers and buyers. The suppliers will cut off all supplies, and the buyers will also stop purchasing."

"All of this is because Lingyun Group operated illegally, so you still have to pay a large sum of compensation."

"And... it seems the entire R&D department of Lingyun Group was beaten up." Zeng Qiang seemed to remember something and couldn't help but laugh, "They're probably all in the hospital now."

"It seems that quite a few people have been beaten and are now coming to the Zeng Group seeking our protection."

“Our people acted very quickly and processed their onboarding directly.”

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Lin, you're really unlucky. How come so many things have fallen on your shoulders?"

"I suggest you go see a fortune teller and find out if you've offended any important people."
