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

Chapter 382

Su Qingyan's eyes widened, and she almost couldn't help but laugh.

Her smile vanished the moment she saw the deputy mayor.

When did Lin Ling get involved with the deputy mayor?

How many things is he still hiding from me?

She stared at Lin Ling, her former sycophant, with shock in her eyes.

When he licked himself, Su Qingyan looked down on him in every way.

They believe that Lin Ling's ability to create Lingyun Group was purely due to catching a trend and good luck.

Now it seems that this man is both mysterious and terrifying.

Zeng Citian's expression also changed, and he suddenly looked at Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er.

Didn't these two brothers say that Lin Ling had no background at all?

Why did a deputy mayor arrive at this time?

Although the two are of similar rank, the deputy mayor is at least a local official from Nanzhou.

It's really inappropriate for someone from a provincial capital like him to continue interfering.

But when he thought of Lin Ling's arrogant demeanor and his methods, he hardened his heart.

Even if it comes at a price, we must get rid of Lin Ling.

He smiled and extended his hand: "Mr. Dou, it's an honor to meet you."

Dou Yiming simply extended his hand and said in a nonchalant tone, "Governor Zeng, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

“Hehe…” Zeng Citian heard the sarcasm in the other party’s tone and chuckled dryly.

“Speaking of which, we were classmates, and I was even a year ahead of you,” Dou Yiming said with a dry laugh. “When we were studying in the provincial capital, you said you would bring me some local specialties when you came to Nanzhou.”

"I thought there was some big gift in store."

"As soon as you arrived in Nanzhou, you suspended the head of our important police station."

"Governor Zeng, you're quite the big shot. You can suspend an official from the Nanzhou Municipal Bureau just like that."

He paused, his tone full of displeasure, and said, "You're quick to suspend him, but how is the police station supposed to operate? This is a crucial time for a large-scale crackdown, and you're just changing leaders at the last minute?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Dou Yiming's words were clearly an attempt to protect Lin Ling and Li Qitian.

Luo Yilin and the others who had just hugged Zeng Citian's lackeys changed their expressions drastically upon hearing this, and their legs almost went weak.

Loylin looked utterly miserable.

Although Zeng Citian was the direct superior of the police station, Dou Yiming was a powerful figure in Nanzhou.

If Dou Yiming wants to frame me, even if Zeng Citian wants to protect me, he's too far away to do anything about it.

Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er's expressions also changed drastically.

They had just thought that Dou Yiming would at most give Lin Ling and Li Qitian some face and say some nice things, and then they would let it go because of their uncle.

As it turns out, this shows they're completely disregarding their uncle's feelings and are determined to protect Lin Ling and Li Qitian.

The two were furious, wondering when Lin Ling and Li Qitian had such a powerful backer.

They haven't even mentioned it once; that's so unfair.

No wonder Lin Ling was so nonchalant just now; it turns out he has the deputy mayor backing him up.

Zeng Citian also snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure.

He glanced at Lin Ling, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Is this your backer?

Hehe... Although they have some influence, they are still insignificant compared to the Zeng family.

Do you really think that I'm the only pillar of the huge Zeng family?

Zeng Citian snorted: "As the deputy governor of the provincial capital's police headquarters, I naturally have the power to supervise the police stations in various prefecture-level cities."

"Li Qitian handled the case poorly, wronged others, and fabricated charges out of thin air. Don't you think he should be suspended from his duties?"

“I know Li Qitian works for your Nanzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, but you can’t just let him keep making the same mistakes, can you?”

"Chief Bean, I'm helping you correct your mistake."

"Ineffective handling of the case, wrongly accusing others, fabricating charges?" Dou Yiming sneered, "One big label after another is being slapped on. No wonder you are the police chief, Governor Zeng."

"Li Qitian's strong case-handling ability is well-known in Nanzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. He recently captured the criminal gang led by Kong Lingzhao of Baigou and even received a commendation from the province."

"He's so capable, how come you're the one who's incompetent in handling cases?"

“Governor Zeng, I know you are a member of the Zeng family, but you can’t let personal relationships interfere with public duty and protect your relatives like this, can you?”

He looked at Li Qitian: "Director Li, bring out all that evidence and let Governor Zeng see it properly. Every single crime the Zeng family committed is supported by solid evidence. Doesn't Zeng Fa deserve what he got?"
