Upon hearing this, Zeng Qiang and the others' expressions changed drastically.
They were well aware that the evidence presented by the police was indeed conclusive.
Otherwise, Li Qitian wouldn't have dared to arrest Zeng Fa directly and would have summoned the two men over for interrogation.
Once it's brought out, things will get complicated.
If it's destroyed secretly, everyone will live in peace, and no one will be so foolish as to dig it up and go against the Zeng family.
But if it's brought out into the open, then the matter is laid bare.
Then they must be severely punished.
Even the Zeng family's connections would simply refuse to help, unwilling to get involved in anything.
Zeng Qiang gave a look, signaling Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er to quickly go and call for reinforcements.
Upon seeing this, Zeng Er and Zeng Qiang hurriedly took out their cell phones and went to the side to make a call.
Li Qitian frowned, about to stop him.
Zeng Citian snorted angrily, speaking with a strong sense of threat: "Chief Dou, I am the direct leader of the Nanzhou Police Bureau. In principle, I should not allow others to interfere in the affairs of the police bureau."
"I'm already being very generous by offering you an explanation."
"Do you really want to go against me?"
His meaning was clear: let Dou Yiming have his way, and save face for himself and the Zeng family.
Don't go against the Zeng family for the sake of Lin Ling and Li Qitian.
Otherwise, the consequences would be beyond what a mayor like you can bear.
Upon hearing this, Dou Yiming's face remained gloomy: "Zeng Citian, don't try to intimidate me with your status as my direct superior."
“This Nanzhou is not a place that your provincial capital police department can easily manipulate.”
"We are both serving the rule of law and the people. Your protection of relatives suspected of violating the law is already untenable, and now you want to threaten me with your official power?"
He stepped forward, his eyes sharp as an eagle's: "As the deputy mayor of Nanzhou, it is my duty to uphold the rule of law and fairness in the local area and to ensure the normal operation of enterprises."
“I’ve seen the evidence of the Zeng family’s illegal activities; it’s practically irrefutable. Instead of responding directly, you’re threatening me. Are you feeling guilty, or do you think the Zeng family can control everything in Nanzhou?”
Lin Ling smiled faintly: "The evidence is right in front of you. Do you think you can get away with just a few harsh words? There are so many people here today, everyone can see it clearly."
"If you insist on covering it up, everyone can be a witness, and we'll see who ends up in trouble in the end."
Li Qitian chimed in, "That's right! Governor Zeng, you are a senior law enforcer with many years of experience. You should understand the principle of acting in accordance with the law. Don't sacrifice your future and reputation for personal reasons."
Zeng Qiang and Zeng Er completely lost their arrogance and looked flustered.
They thought that by bringing up Zeng Citian, the deputy superintendent of the police station, they could put Lin Ling in a better position.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ling had the trump card of being the deputy mayor.
Lin Ling looked at the two of them and said with a mocking expression, "It seems that the Zeng family is nothing special."
"A prestigious family in the Southern State is only able to survive thanks to a mere police chief."
"Turns out, this governor was only a deputy..."
He and Li Qitian exchanged a glance, both of their eyes filled with mockery.
They were well aware, of course, that Zeng Citian was not yet the mainstay of the Zeng family.
He can only be considered one of the Zeng family's generals.
There are powerful figures behind the Zeng family, even stronger than Zeng Citian.
They did this to provoke the Zeng family's anger and force them to call upon more powerful figures to intervene.
Only then can the mayor take the opportunity to capture them all at once.
Lin Ling sneered. At least whether the mayor can withstand it is not a concern at all.
If the mayor can't hold on, his faction will step in.
His faction couldn't hold out, so his old boss naturally called for reinforcements.
His former superior was a powerful figure in the entire Southern Wilderness, someone that the small Zeng family could not possibly contend with.
He had saved the lives of his former boss and his faction this time.
In any case, the people on the city's side will definitely help me to the end.
This is Lin Ling's source of confidence.
