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

Chapter 500

Li Qitian then seized the opportunity to say, "Yes, Lin Ling isn't stupid. If he really wanted to kill Lin Keshan, he wouldn't be foolish enough to do it right in front of Lingyun Group. Wouldn't that be blatantly telling everyone that he did it?"

Song Gui and Li Qitian tried their best to defend Lin Ling.

However, the provincial police chief showed no mercy, scolding, "How dare you come all this way just to exonerate Lin Ling?"

"Lin Ling is definitely going to be caught. I know you all have close ties with him. I have to remind you that this matter has a huge impact and is being taken very seriously by the higher-ups. No one can save him."

"You want evidence? The public is the evidence. Everyone knows about Lin Ling's relationship with the Lin family. Just a few days ago, she drove Lin Keshan to the brink of suicide. If it wasn't Lin Ling, who else could it be?"

"You'd better not get involved in this matter, or don't blame me for handling things strictly by the book."

The provincial police chief showed no leniency, leaving Li Qitian and Song Gui at a loss for what to do.

Undeterred, Song Gui continued to argue, "Chief, as a major enterprise in Nanzhou, arresting people without sufficient evidence will definitely have a significant impact on Lingyun Group."

“Lingyun Group has close business ties with many small companies. If something happens to Lingyun Group, it will affect the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people. I urge the Director to think twice.”

"Song Gui, you've got some nerve, haven't you?" The provincial bureau chief slammed his fist on the table and roared, "I've already made it very clear that the higher-ups are taking this incident very seriously, and Lin Ling must be arrested."

"If Nanzhou needs to rely on these heinous murderers to make a living, I'll make you the first ones to go after you. You hold positions but do nothing, and you dare to threaten me?"

"Men, throw them out. If they dare to defend Lin Ling again, arrest them as Lin Ling's accomplices."

Immediately afterwards, several police officers rushed in and kicked Li Qitian and Song Gui out of the police station.

The two were somewhat desperate.

Although they were powerful figures in Nanzhou, they were nothing here; otherwise, they wouldn't have been kicked out of the police station in such a sorry state.

Lin Ling is a very close brother, and he absolutely cannot let Lin Ling be arrested.

Song Gui said in a low voice, "Call Lin Ling and ask him. If he really can't get away with it, I'll go to my old boss."

Even at great risk, he still called Lin Ling: "Lin Ling, listen to me, the head of the provincial police bureau has personally ordered Secretary Cui to lead a team to arrest you. No matter what you are doing now, drop everything immediately and go out to lay low for a while. I will definitely find evidence to help you clear your name."

Sitting in his office chair, Lin Ling looked completely at ease and didn't seem to care at all.

This was indeed a troublesome matter, but Yang Panlei was going to treat him to dinner, so he wouldn't just stand by and watch him get arrested.

It was Li Qitian who tipped him off, which moved him deeply. He was truly a good brother; instead of standing aside, Li Qitian had informed him of the situation.

Lin Ling knew that if he were found out, losing his job would be a minor matter for Li Qitian; he might even be treated as an accomplice and punished.

"It's alright, you don't need to worry. No one can catch me," Lin Ling said nonchalantly.

"Are you out of your mind, kid? This time it was the provincial bureau chief who personally gave the order. I've already gone to plead with him with Chief Song, but he didn't give us any face at all and even kicked us out."

"Lin Ling, President Lin, this time is different from before, it won't be so easy to deal with. Just listen to my advice, go lay low for now. If they really catch you, you'll definitely be in big trouble."

Li Qitian anxiously tried to persuade Lin Ling.

He knew better than anyone that Lin Ling had been framed. Even if it cost him his job, he would help Lin Ling. Once the evidence was found, everything would be resolved.

But right now, Lin Ling absolutely cannot confront the provincial bureau chief head-on; that would be like an egg hitting a rock.

Unfortunately, Lin Ling didn't care at all. Instead, she comforted him, "What will you do if I run away? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would abandon my brothers to save my own life?"

"You don't need to worry about this. No one can arrest me. Don't you believe me?"

“But…” Li Qitian was speechless for a moment, and could only agree: “Alright then, but don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to save you.”

Lin Ling's confidence left Li Qitian with only a skepticism, after all, this was no ordinary person he was facing.
