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

Chapter 497

Meanwhile, on the other side...

The public outcry over Lin Keshan's car accident intensified, with major media outlets reporting and reposting the story, making it the top headline in Nanzhou.

Even many companies that had partnered with Yu Lingyun Group began to waver and wanted to sever ties with the group.

After all, this time is different from the past.

Lin Ling could easily handle the previous matters, but this time it involves a life. Even if Lin Ling has strong connections, he will be finished if he is implicated in a death.

Inside the president's office of Lingyun Group.

Shan Caiwei was also very anxious and reported the public opinion situation to Lin Ling one by one.

"President Lin, the public opinion is getting more and more intense, and it's all one-sided. Everyone is saying that you hired someone to kill your own sister."

"If this continues, it will have a significant impact on the group. Should we issue a public relations response?"

Lin Ling lit a cigarette, showing no sign of panic, and shook his head, saying, "No rush, the show has only just begun, let's let the bullets fly for a while longer."

Dan Caiwei said anxiously, "President Lin, what time is it? Stop joking. This is a false accusation that you hired someone to commit murder. If this is not handled properly, there will definitely be trouble."

"Caiwei, just follow my instructions." Lin Ling said coldly, "I know how to handle things. You just need to do what you're supposed to do."

"I understand, Mr. Lin." Shan Caiwei realized she had crossed the line and quickly nodded before leaving.

Lin Ling knew that Shan Caiwei meant well, but his words were not open to any questioning.

At this moment, Li Qitian arrived.

"You seem quite carefree, even having the mood to brew tea here. Don't you know the world outside is in chaos?" Li Qitian couldn't help but worry when he saw that Lin Ling seemed unaffected.

Lin Ling, however, acted as if nothing was wrong, pouring him tea while saying, "If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. What's there to be afraid of? Have some tea."

Li Qitian remained silent, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he explained the situation outside to Lin Ling in detail and analyzed the current situation.

"The situation is very unfavorable to you now. All the public opinion is pointing at you. After all, you and the Lin family have been making a big fuss recently, so when Lin Keshan got into trouble, everyone's first reaction was that you hired someone to kill Lin Keshan."

"Moreover, I'm worried that the Lin family will use this incident as an excuse to target you."

"But don't worry, I've already sent people to apprehend the driver who caused the accident."

Despite a lot of analysis, Lin Ling remained unmoved.

Li Qitian grew anxious: "I've told you so much, and you haven't reacted at all? Aren't you worried?"

Li Qitian knew that Lin Ling had offended too many people, and they would definitely take this opportunity to target Lin Ling. This matter could be serious or minor.

"What kind of reaction do you want?" Lin Ling laughed. "I didn't do this, so why should I worry?"

Li Qitian said speechlessly, "Of course I believe you, but now everyone thinks that you hired someone to run over Lin Keshan. If there is no evidence, it will be troublesome."

"According to our investigation, the driver who caused the accident has gone into hiding, but we are doing our best to apprehend him. Once we catch the real culprit, we will clear your name."

"However, I am quite curious about who exactly has such a deep-seated hatred for the Lin family. Based on the on-site investigation, it is clear that the other party intends to kill Lin Keshan."

Li Qitian stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Lin Ling patted him on the shoulder and said, "I never thought that even the Chief could misjudge the situation?"

Li Qitian looked up and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Ling smiled and said, "Actually, it's quite obvious that the other party doesn't have a grudge against Lin Keshan. She's just a scapegoat. The real target should be me."

"It's you?" Li Qitian asked in disbelief.

Lin Ling nodded and said, "My relationship with the Lin family is known throughout Nanzhou, which is why they took action at the entrance of Lingyun Group. Logically, they would link this to me and use it to frame me for hiring someone to commit murder."

“Looking across the entire Southern State, there are quite a few people who want to kill me, but upon closer inspection, even the Zeng family can only dream about it and dare not do such a foolish thing in the face of such a strong wind.”

"After thinking it over, there's only one person left: Lin Tianwu!"
