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

Chapter 396

"What? The new mayor has shown up? And he's going to destroy the Zeng family, all the way to the aid of some upstart?" A middle-aged man cursed, "Has this mayor gone mad?"

"He's just taken office, he should be trying to get the help of our major families, why should he try to curry favor with a kid who hasn't even grown up yet?"

"This kid doesn't even have any background?"

"What is Mayor Song after? Is it his youth, his good looks, or the businesses he owns?"

Another old man was also furious: "The previous mayor stayed in Nanzhou for five years, and he didn't dare to make a move against our major families."

"This mayor is incredibly audacious. He's only been in office for less than a month, yet he's already resorting to such drastic measures to wipe out the Zeng family in one fell swoop."

A woman in her early twenties frowned slightly and said softly, "It should just be a little tapping, right?"

The middle-aged man cursed, "What nonsense! According to our informant at the police station, Li Qitian has revealed everything the Zeng family has ever done."

“Even the incident from three years ago, when Zeng was fined fifty yuan for smoking in the square, was brought up again.”

"Not to mention the dirty deeds the Zeng family did, they have definitely been thoroughly investigated."

"Under such swift and decisive measures, almost no one in the Zeng family was spared; they were all arrested and imprisoned."

The young woman gasped, "This...this mayor is acting so recklessly!"

"It's more than just a lack of restraint!" the middle-aged man and the old man said in unison.

Before this, both of them were leisurely waiting for Mayor Song to make a statement.

If Mayor Song wants to govern Nanzhou well and achieve political success, he must cultivate good relations with the five great families.

Only then can we build Wada Square, high-rise buildings, and industrial parks.

It's impossible to do that by relying solely on ordinary people.

It is only by relying on the power of a few powerful families that we can gather the strength of the entire city and create gold mines.

They turned ordinary people into manual laborers, digging money from the gold mine with each hoe stroke.

At that time, all the money invested by the ten great families will be returned.

The money from ordinary people is split 30/70.

Seventy percent went to established families, and threety percent went to the top faction in the city.

This is what is meant by "the prime minister of Hefei makes the world thin."

The previous mayor made a fortune by working with several powerful families, and his assets abroad reached an astonishing amount.

Now she's happily retired and enjoying her retirement at a manor abroad.

However, the newly arrived mayor not only had no intention of cooperating with the major families, but instead joined forces with an unknown young man to deal with the Zeng family.

This signal was dangerous, making the powerful families feel insecure.

They were afraid that they would be next.

"Then how about we unite with all the major families and show the mayor what we're capable of?" the girl said fiercely, brandishing her small fist.

"A coalition?" The middle-aged man laughed as if he had heard a joke.

"They're all fighting for food from the same pot, how could they possibly unite?" The old man shook his head with a smile. "If you unite with them, they might just sell you out to curry favor with the mayor."

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, keep a low profile even more."

"Hmm, judging from the mayor's attitude, even if he wipes out the Zeng family, he won't let it go easily." The middle-aged man squinted and said, "I'll clean up those filthy things as soon as possible."

"Try not to leave any trace of your past."

"Alright." The old man nodded slowly: "And this Lin Ling should not be underestimated either."

"For someone who was born an orphan to be valued by the mayor is quite remarkable, truly remarkable."

He looked at the young girl beside him: "Weiwei, what do you think of this young man?"

"He's quite handsome and tall, and very charming. Not only is he good-looking, but he's also quite capable." Jiang Wei tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's just that he's like a fool when it comes to relationships."

"He fawned over Su Qingyan for three years, but was cheated on by his own brother before their marriage."

"Later, I had no choice but to find a secretary from an ordinary background to be my girlfriend."

"As a result, he scared his girlfriend away."

Upon hearing this, both the middle-aged man and the old man shook their heads and smiled.

They never expected that Lin Ling, who had built a multi-billion dollar conglomerate from being an orphan, would be so foolish when it came to relationships.

“That’s a drawback.” The old man tapped his pipe and smiled meaningfully. “Weiwei, are you interested in him?”

"Since he is someone the mayor values, we should try to bring him into our fold."
