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

Chapter 503

"Commander Yang, I just..."

"Alright." Yang Panlei didn't want to waste words with him and said coldly, "Take your men and get out of here right now. But I'm warning you, if you dare to reveal a single word about what happened today, someone in your family will die."

"roll!"

"Good good."

Secretary Cui dared not linger for even a moment, fearing that if he stayed any longer, this living devil would change his mind. He had heard of Yang Panlei's methods.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be called the "Living Yama."

After kowtowing a few times, he led his men away in a sorry state.

After they left, Yang Panlei asked, "So, have you made up your mind?"

This time, Lin Ling readily agreed.

After all, if it weren't for Yang Panlei's help today, he probably wouldn't have been able to handle it.

"You've helped me so much, it wouldn't be right for me to refuse. I'll try my best to help you find it," Lin Ling nodded.

"Okay, that's enough."

Yang Panlei smiled and then left the private room first.

Lin Ling then left as well.

Meanwhile, as if possessed, Secretary Cui left the hotel and rushed back to the provincial police station.

The first thing he did upon returning was to write a resignation letter with more than a dozen other police officers and submit it to the head of the provincial police department.

"Secretary Cui, what's going on? I sent you to arrest Lin Ling, but where is he? You didn't catch him, but instead you handed me a resignation letter. What happened?" The head of the provincial police bureau was full of doubt.

Secretary Cui, pale-faced, said, "Chief, I'm sorry, something happened at home, and I have to go back immediately."

The provincial bureau chief was still puzzled: "What could have happened? You didn't even complete the task I assigned you. Besides, even if something happened, I approved your leave. Why would you need to resign?"

Seeing that the provincial bureau chief refused, Secretary Cui was unwilling to explain any further and simply knelt on the ground.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she pleaded, "Chief, I beg you, please, for all these years I've served you faithfully, please let me go."

The provincial bureau chief increasingly sensed something was wrong: "Tell me honestly, what exactly happened?"

Secretary Cui felt like dying at that moment, but he stubbornly refused to say another word.

He didn't want his whole family to be wiped out.

Ultimately, the provincial bureau chief couldn't get any answers from him, and seeing that he was still crying and sobbing, they had no choice but to sign and release him.

When the provincial bureau chief learned that the police officers who had gone with Secretary Cui to arrest Lin Ling had all resigned afterward, he felt something was amiss.

But something seemed wrong; not only did they fail to bring the people back, but these people also suddenly resigned.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so the head of the provincial bureau immediately called Director Lu and explained the whole story.

This time, it was President Lu who personally instructed him to arrange for someone to arrest Lin Ling.

Since they failed to apprehend the person, they inevitably received a scolding from President Lu.

Meanwhile, at President Lu's home, he was hosting a banquet for Lin Tianwu.

"Tianwu, I've always had high hopes for you, and you haven't disappointed me. Keep up the good work, and I'll make sure you get what you deserve."

Lin Tianwu was flattered: "President Lu, you flatter me. It is my honor to serve you. Moreover, it is all thanks to your and Sister Yang Li's guidance that things went so smoothly this time."

The shower of compliments made President Lu and Yang Li very happy.

Lin Tianwu was secretly delighted. Now that he had eliminated Lin Ling, no one in Nanzhou would oppose him anymore.

So what if Li Qitian and Song Gui are Lin Ling's friends?

Now that they've latched onto Yang Li and President Hu's coattails, they're nothing but ants; killing them would be a piece of cake.

He was well aware of President Lu's power; even the provincial governor had to treat him with utmost respect.

If it weren't for President Lu's investment in construction projects within the province, which boosted the overall GDP, the provincial governor would have been fired long ago.

Therefore, Lin Tianwu firmly believed that as long as he clung to President Lu's coattails, he could reach the pinnacle of his life.

As for Yang Li...

Lin Tianwu had already developed hatred for her.

My body was already completely drained, and now I'm being tormented by this woman every few days. If this continues, she'll probably ruin me.

But there's no way around it; now is not the time to turn against her. I still need to rely on her connections to have more opportunities to contact President Lu.

Once I've established a certain position in front of President Lu, I won't need her anymore.

By the time......
