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

Chapter 498

Li Qitian was shocked and couldn't believe it: "No way, Lin Tianwu is definitely not a good person. He's good at playing tricks, but I doubt he would dare to kill someone?"

"You said it yourself, even the Zeng family didn't dare to take action against you in the first place, let alone that good-for-nothing Lin Tianwu?"

Lin Ling simply smiled without saying a word.

It's obvious that he's now a prominent figure in Nanzhou, with many people wanting to curry favor with him and many others wanting to get rid of him.

But precisely because Lin Ling is a prominent figure in Nanzhou, everyone is paying attention to him, even some big shots in the provincial capital.

If you dare to lay a hand on him now, you're asking for death.

The reason Lin Ling concluded that Lin Tianwu was responsible was not because he thought Lin Tianwu had the audacity to do such a thing.

It was Yang Li, the person behind him.

Last time, Yang Li instigated the Lin family to cause trouble, but in the end, they suffered the consequences themselves. Presumably, since one plan failed, she has pulled this stunt again.

Things are developing in the direction they want, so let them be smug for now and don't rush to clarify anything.

Lin Ling loved watching them climb to the top of the clouds and then crash down.

“Okay, I will definitely focus my investigation on Lin Tianwu.” Seeing the determination in Lin Ling’s eyes, Li Qitian believed him.

In order to clear his good friend's name, Li Qitian lost interest in drinking tea and went back to investigate and collect evidence.

Lin Ling was the only one left in the office.

He leisurely sipped his tea, casually taking out his phone to check online opinions.

Without exception.

The internet is full of news about him hiring someone to kill his own sister.

"The president of Lingyun Group, unable to win favor, hired someone to murder his own sister."

"The Lin siblings broke ties, and in order to seize the family property for themselves, they did not hesitate to cruelly poison their own sister."

Seeing these bizarre headlines, Lin Ling couldn't help but laugh: "These days, the media will stop at nothing for a few clicks; they're just trying to grab attention."

Lin Ling ignored these attention-grabbing news stories.

Those in the news media don't care about the truth at all, as long as they can get traffic; they just fabricate stories.

Just then, a call came in from an unknown number.

Lin Ling paused for a few seconds before answering the phone: "Who is this?"

"I am Yang Panlei!"

Yang Panlei?

Upon hearing this name, Lin Ling felt a sudden surge of tension and excitement.

During this time, he missed Yang Mengyu every moment and wondered how she was doing.

Why did Yang Panlei suddenly call? Was it because of Yang Mengyu, or something else?

Lin Ling kept guessing.

After several seconds, he said in a calm tone, "Is there something you need?"

"Let's meet and have a meal together," Yang Panlei said simply and directly, without wasting any words.

"Okay, let me know when you've decided on a place," Lin Ling replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

After hanging up the phone, I wondered about Yang Panlei's purpose.

Judging from his attitude towards him when they met before, Yang Panlei didn't like him at all.

He even strongly resisted Yang Mengyu being with him.

If that's the case, why bother meeting with me at all?

Could it be that something has happened to Yang Mengyu, that she's crying and demanding to see me, or that she's having a conflict with her family?

Or is Yang Mengyu being forced into an arranged marriage?

Thinking of this, his heart jumped, but then calmed down after a moment.

Even if Yang Mengyu gets into trouble, Yang Panlei won't come looking for him, since it wouldn't do him any good.

It's most likely because of something else.

Could it be that the military has taken a liking to drones?

Lin Ling couldn't figure it out, and was too lazy to guess anymore; he would know when they met.

And on the other side.

Inside a hotel suite.

Yang Li leaned against the headboard with a rosy complexion, while Lin Tianwu lay beside her, pale-faced and slumped like a dead pig.

Lin Tianwu wished he never had to see that wretched woman again.

He was already physically exhausted, and every time they met, she would exploit him. If this continued, he would eventually be played to death by this woman.

But he couldn't live without Yang Li.

They still need Yang Li to climb up the ladder and achieve great success!

So no matter what Yang Li does now, he has to grit his teeth and cooperate.

"Sister Yang Li, Lin Ling must be extremely anxious right now. What should we do next?"

Yang Li laughed and said, "That's right. I think Lin Ling definitely won't have the same luck as before this time. He's definitely doomed this time."

"You did a great job this time, I have to congratulate you, because you acted decisively. Even if Lin Ling doesn't die this time, he will never have a chance to turn things around. President Lu greatly appreciates your ability to handle things."

Lin Tianwu perked up immediately upon being appreciated by President Lu.

He propped himself up and said excitedly, "It's all thanks to Sister Yang Li for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work even harder for Sister Yang Li in the future."

Yang Li smiled with satisfaction: "Tianwu, I love your obedient nature. Don't worry, just do your job well for me, and I'll definitely make you successful."

Lin Tianwu nodded and said, "It is my honor to be able to serve Sister Yang Li and President Lu and share their burdens. Sister Yang Li, if you need anything, you can ask me anytime, and I will do my best to help."

Lin Tianwu's flattery made Yang Li feel very comfortable.
