Chapter 378: A Complete Victory!

Chapter 378: A Complete Victory!

When Luo Zhong realized that Ling Yun completely disregarded his authority, Luo Zhong was filled with regret!

Ling Yun had no enmity with Luo Zhong. There were only three reasons he would suddenly go against Ling Yun.

The first reason was that Luo Zhong received enough benefits from Gou Liancheng’s side. He managed to obtain a large amount of money.

Secondly, he had been on the same side as Xie Zhenting for many years in the bureaucracy. Over the years, he had been at war with Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao.

However, Li Yifeng had so much authority over matters in Qingshui City that he was basically the government itself in Qingshui City. Coupled with Tang Tianhao’s support, he was almost like a tiger which had grown wings. In just two years, they managed to suppress Luo Zhong.

Because of the sudden disappearance of Sun Xing and Niu Fenjiao, the Sun Family was infuriated, and Sun Tianbiao brought people to Qingshui City. He immediately made his moves against Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao, who had relations with Ling Yun.

Even though Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao were in Jiangnan Province, they had connections in Beijing as well. Even so, their connections couldn’t be compared to the Sun Family’s thunderous rage. In just a matter of moments, he managed to uproot Li Yifeng and the rest!

Everyone in government services wished for a promotion, everyone wanted more power and authority!

As the Director of Qingshui City’s Public Security Bureau, he watched how Tang Tianhao was promoted through the ranks while he remained stagnant. Seeing that he could be outranked, how could he feel good about it?

Xie Zhenting and Luo Zhong knew that this was their opportunity to rise to power. After several secret meetings, they made their decision to stand on the Sun Family’s side. They wanted to make use of the authority they had on hand to land a severe blow on Ling Yun.

Eventually, Luo Zhong only needed to use his authority to arrest Ling Yun and hand him over to Sun Tianbiao in the dark. By doing so, he would be doing the Sun Family a huge favor. With support like the Sun Family behind his back, Luo Zhong would certainly be able to rise to power!

Since he could strike it rich, dash the futures of his political opponents to expand his authority in Qingshui City, and even attain the support of Beijing’s Sun Family, why wouldn’t Luo Zhong do it? It was the same as hitting three birds with one stone!

However, Luo Zhong and Xie Zhenting forgot one point, an extremely vital point! Or rather, they might have thought about it but never paid much attention to it.

That was, how could Ling Yun, a person capable of infuriating the Sun Family and forcing Sun Tianbiao to come down to Qingshui personally, be an ordinary person?

Luo Zhong and Xie Zhenting really did think about it. Not only did they think of it, they even heard some of the mysterious and magical abilities that Ling Yun displayed.

The only regret was that they didn’t treat it as something important. They were convinced that regardless of how mighty Ling Yun was, he wouldn’t be mightier than heaven. They never believed that he could be stronger than the Sun Family!

Luo Zhong would never believe it if someone told him that Ling Yun would resist arrest and go against the Public Security Bureau of the country!

He thought it was all a simple task. If Ling Yun didn’t appear, there wouldn’t be a problem for him. The moment Ling Yun appeared, all he needed to do was to arrest him and hand him over to the Sun Family. By doing so, he thought there wouldn’t be a Ling Yun in Qingshui City for him to worry about anymore. Being promoted and rising to power would then come naturally.

The pity was that things turned out contrary to the way one wished. Ling Yun didn’t resist arrest nor go against the country’s bureau. This was because he no longer had any reason to arrest Ling Yun!

Without a reason to arrest Ling Yun, he was naturally unable to arrest Ling Yun. In front of Ling Yun, the Director of the Public Security Bureau was nothing more than a title.

At this moment, Ling Yun was strong enough to turn the tides in his favor. He also made Luo Zhong realize that Ling Yun could kill him in the blink of an eye!

In the face of death — wealth, rank, and background instantly became unimportant matters. If Luo Zhong died, there would no longer be any benefits for him to enjoy.

Therefore, Luo Zhong regretted his decision to jump out too soon. Or rather, he realized he should never have stepped into this muddy water.

What would wealth amount to? Did he not earn enough over the years? Why did it matter that he earned that extra eight to ten million?

So what if he could advance further? He was only one step away from being a sub-provincial official. As long as he didn’t do anything stupid, he could slowly rise up!

As for background, he might not be as powerful as the Sun Family in Beijing, but he was still not considered weak.

Of course, Luo Zhong would only consider all of these when he realized how weak he was in front of a true expert like Ling Yun.

If he managed to arrest Ling Yun today, he would naturally be thinking of having more money, greater power, and a more impressive background.

Luo Zhong subconsciously looked towards his side only to realize that some of the men he brought here had distanced themselves far away from him secretly.

The world of politics was a very cruel and practical world. When people realized that you were about to lose your standing, it didn’t matter what relations they had with you. Everyone would be afraid of bringing trouble onto themselves. Naturally, they would want to distance themselves as far as possible…

Luo Zhong instantly realized the lonely predicament he got himself into and was both shocked and regretful. All of a sudden, he spoke without waiting for Ling Yun to ask him any more questions.

“Since it’s not a case of cheating or blackmailing, I’ll make a call for them to release him immediately! These incompetent people are really…”

Ling Yun sneered in his heart as he wondered how much effort he could have saved if Luo Zhong did this from the start. He retracted his hand and replied faintly, “You better hurry up and make sure you don’t hold up my lunch with Tie Xiaohu. Also, my friend and I will definitely go after you guys for arresting the wrong person. Additionally, if anything happened to Tie Xiaohu in there, you will personally bear full responsibility!”

Luo Zhong no longer dared to waste any more of Ling Yun’s time. Ling Yun’s tone started to change, and he was faintly ordering Luo Zhong what to do.

Luo Zhong shivered in his heart and no longer cared about the pain in his shoulder. He whipped out his phone and said, “Get someone to release Tie Xiaohu immediately!”

“That’s right! It has been confirmed that the manager of Qingyun Productions refused to pay up, so he distorted the truth. He reported a false case, and Tie Xiaohu was indeed not guilty!”

After making the call, Luo Zhong lifted his head to look fearfully into Ling Yun’s eyes. “You… Do you have any other issues?”

Ling Yun smiled as he asked, “What do you think? Didn’t you say that the source of my assets is unknown? My two mansions, as well as my bank accounts, are sealed. How do you think we should settle that?”

Luo Zhong wiped the sweat off his forehead once more as he said, “These are all misunderstandings! I will make a call to settle everything for you now!”

Luo Zhong didn’t wait for his reply and hurriedly took his phone and called several people. In front of the countless reporters, he verified that there was no problem with the source of Ling Yun’s wealth, so there was no need for any further investigations. Ling Yun’s bank accounts were back to normal, and he got his men to return the keys to the two mansions in Linjiang Garden.

It was a complete loss. Everything Luo Zhong did to Ling Yun was meant to deal with Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao. Now that he couldn’t even protect his own life, why would he dare to do anything else? In just a few moments, he settled everything for Ling Yun.

At this moment, Ling Yun smiled slightly and nodded. “I say, a b*stard like you really knows how to act pragmatically. No wonder you’re able to be the Director of the Public Security Bureau…”

Luo Zhong didn’t even dare to reply to him as he continued to wipe the sweat off his face. All he wanted to do was leave the scene as soon as possible.

At a time like this, Luo Zhong dared not think about any benefits anymore. All that was in his mind was how he could salvage this pathetic situation so that he could keep everything that he currently had.

Ling Yun continued to chuckle. “I’ve heard that you are still investigating the case about the injured people at Qingyun Productions. I wonder if you came to a conclusion? I wonder if you actually managed to arrest the suspect?”

Ling Yun was talking about the incident of him turning Gou Liancheng, Qingyun Productions’ Zhang Dao, and Wang Jingji into eunuchs.

This was actually one of the reasons Luo Zhong could use to arrest Ling Yun. However, after everything that had happened and how the tables had turned, Ling Yun was actually the one who mentioned it.

To be honest, this incident had been settled by Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao and was already a cold case. No one would be able to fault Ling Yun or press any charges against him.

Lin Menghan only left Qingshui City after confirming that this case would no longer implicate Ling Yun.

In the end, the Sun Family came under the lead of Sun Tianbiao. Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao both got into trouble while the Lin Family was a thousand miles away. Coupled with the benefits that Gou Liancheng gave Luo Zhong, this turned into the greatest reason to arrest Ling Yun.

Even with this ‘most logical’ reason, Luo Zhong wouldn’t dare to say it out loud. He was afraid of angering the Lin Family. He knew that it wouldn’t do him any good to offend the Lin Family for the Sun Family.

Compared to the Sun Family, Luo Zhong was nothing more than a fart in the eyes of the Lin Family. The truth was that no matter how hard he worked for the Sun Family, the Sun Family would never protect him from the Lin Family.

Luo Zhong understood this point very well and knew that he could only mention this crime after arresting Ling Yun and listing his sentences.

At this moment, Luo Zhong lost everything, so he was naturally not going to mention any of these.

“Ling Yun, that case you’re talking about has been concluded. Everything is very clear, and there is no need for any further investigations. Whatever you heard were rumors… Haha… Purely rumors…”
