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

Chapter 531

The door was gently pushed open, and Shan Caiwei walked in quickly, her face showing some urgency.

She witnessed the guy jumping up and down outside, spewing threats, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He went back to remind Lin Ling again.

"President Lin, the Shi family's butler has left, but the way he acted... I don't think they'll let this go easily. Shi Gandang is deeply entrenched in Nanzhou, with connections everywhere. Isn't it too risky for you to confront them head-on?"

Lin Ling looked up and glanced at her.

He leaned back in his chair and said disdainfully, "Adventure? Caiwei, when did you become so cowardly? The Shi family is nothing but a paper tiger, they look scary but are actually very weak. Shi Qian's threat is not even enough to make me frown."

Shan Caiwei frowned, clearly unsure of Lin Ling's confidence.

She stepped forward, her brow furrowed with worry: "President Lin, it's not that I'm cowardly, it's just that the Shi family's power is not to be underestimated. They have connections in departments like transportation, fire protection, and sanitation. If they target us through official channels, we'll be caught off guard. You're not afraid of them doing it openly, but it's hard to guard against a sneak attack."

Lin Ling snorted coldly and stopped tapping.

"You're right, the Shi family is best at playing dirty tricks. Unfortunately for them, they ran into me."

"Caiwei, go and make arrangements for the inspections by the tax and fire departments. Prepare in advance. Make sure they can't find anything wrong. I want to see what tricks Shi Gan can still pull."

Shan Caiwei nodded, but she still felt uneasy.

She knew Lin Ling's methods, but she had also heard of the Shi family's ruthlessness.

“Okay, I’ll start making arrangements tomorrow. But Mr. Lin, are you really not planning to ease things up with the Shi family? It’s better to avoid trouble. We already have problems with Su Qingyan and Lu Yinan, so there’s no need to make more enemies.”

Lin Ling turned around, his gaze falling coldly on her, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Reconcile? Caiwei, do you think Shi Gandang is the kind of person who talks the talk? He sent Shi Qian here just to make me bow down."

“If I really go, he will only become more aggressive. The more you back down, the more they will take advantage of the Shi family. I, Lin Ling, will never be anyone’s dog, let alone bow down to the likes of them.”

Shan Caiwei paused for a moment, then gave a helpless smile.

She knew Lin Ling's personality; once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

She sighed, "Alright, Mr. Lin, I understand what you mean. I will keep things stable at home, so don't worry."

Lin Ling waved her hand: "Go on, get some rest."

Shan Caiwei turned and left, and the office returned to silence.

Lin Ling stubbed out his cigarette and stared intently at a document on the table.

That was a task entrusted to him by Yang Panlei—to investigate arms smuggling in Nanzhou.

He agreed not only to help Yang Panlei, but also to prove his abilities to the Yang family.

It would be best to make an appearance in front of your brother-in-law.

But now, the Shi family's involvement has made things even more complicated.

He narrowed his eyes. "Shi Gandang, you'd better not run into my hands, or I'll make sure you don't even have a chance to cry."

He picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Black Wolf, come in here."

A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open again, and a burly man walked in.

Black Wolf's eyes were fierce yet revealed a hint of respect.

"Boss Lin, you're looking for me?"

Black Wolf spoke in a deep, muffled voice, standing in front of the desk and looking down at Lin Ling.

Lin Ling leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping coldly over him: "How's the arms smuggling case I asked you to investigate last time?"

Black Wolf scratched his head, a troubled look on his face.

He said embarrassedly, "President Lin, I led my brothers to inquire all over the place, running all over the underground dens in Nanzhou, but we still couldn't find any clues. These guys are too well hidden, they haven't even uttered a fart."

"However, I'm thinking that weapons definitely have to go through export channels. I've already sent a few clever underlings to lie in wait near several large export warehouses to see if we can catch them making any moves."
