375 Glorious Tongue

"Ling Yun, you…"

Nobody expected the glorified Luo Zhong, Director of the Public Security Bureau, to be scolded so badly in front of thousands of people by Ling Yun. His face turned green, red, and then pale very quickly. In fact, he almost vomited out blood.

One must know that among these thousands of people here, not all of them were ordinary people. There were over a hundred of his own subordinates, and more importantly, there was a large crowd of news reporters and TV broadcasters gathered just behind him!

For someone who loved to portray himself with a heroic image, Ling Yun's actions made him more uncomfortable than if he peed in his pants.

However, Luo Zhong had no other choice because Long Wu was right. Scolding someone really wasn't a crime!

Even though Luo Zhong was infuriated in his heart and hated Ling Yun to the core, his status and identity had to be maintained. He couldn't scold him, he could only endure and bear with it!

Before he brought Ling Yun back to the Public Security Bureau, the only thing Luo Zhong could do was endure.

Could ordinary people scold the Director of the Public Security Bureau? Of course they could! However, they had to do it secretly and behind his back; the words should never reach the ears of the director. Otherwise, he could casually send you to beyond the topmost clouds for something you never did.

However, Ling Yun actually scolded him in front of the public. In fact, he even used his Mystical Dragon Howl on purpose so that everyone at the scene could hear clearly.

Almost immediately after, all sorts of discussions could be heard on the streets!

"What on earth is Ling Yun trying to do today? First, he tore down the demolition office, then he tore down two of Hades Tian's mansions, and now he's scolding the Director of the Public Security Bureau in front of everyone…"

"Ling Yun is probably the only person who dares to call the Public Security Bureau's Director a disgraceful b*stard in public!"

"I'm guessing Ling Yun lost his mind after the commotion he caused earlier…"

"I doubt so, since everything Ling Yun said made sense… Luo Zhong arrived and immediately wanted to arrest Ling Yun and take him back to the Public Security Bureau without justifying himself. I would scold him if I was Ling Yun too. He clearly didn't give him any chance to speak…"

"Right? So what if he's the Director of the Public Security Bureau? Why didn't he send any policemen when Ling Yun's house was razed to the ground by Hades Tian? Now that an official is in trouble, he came so quickly to put out the fire? What is this…"

"I don't think Ling Yun is someone who will scold someone else without proper reasoning. I bet there are some other reasons here…"

"Let's just wait and see! I don't believe Ling Yun will be taken back to the police station by them!"

…

Hearing everyone's discussions, Ling Yun smiled faintly as he walked towards Luo Zhong. He was about two meters away from Luo Zhong as he stood next to Long Kun. He greeted him and said, "Uncle Long, good to see you!"

Long Kun turned his head and nodded towards Ling Yun. He didn't say anything because this wasn't their private room.

Ling Yun turned back instantly to smile at Luo Zhong before pointing his finger at Luo Zhong's nose to scold again. "Luo Zhong, you b*stard! You better listen to what I have to say now!"

"That temporary demolition office was never built on a sturdy foundation. It was so shaky it looked like it was built on soybean dregs. If I hadn't chased all the workers out from the building in time, do you think all of them could have survived the collapse? They would have been trapped under that office!"

Everyone caused an uproar when they heard this.

Ling Yun was clearly the one who tore down the demolition office all by himself, but just by saying this, he managed to turn himself into the hero who saved everyone!

Ling Yun chuckled as he continued to point at Luo Zhong's nose to scold him. "If you don't believe me, you can ask all the workers of the company. Ask them if the office collapsed right after I entered the building to chase all of them out."

Truth be told, Ling Yun really didn't do or say anything else other than throwing Gou Lianshan out and asking all the workers to get out of the office.

As for what he did inside the office, nobody on the outside knew or saw anything. After he came out, the office collapsed, and he used Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to escape. Therefore, the eyes of ordinary men were naturally unable to keep up with his speed.

Therefore, even though everyone knew that Ling Yun tore down the demolition office, they weren't able to bring out any evidence. Even the workers inside the demolition office couldn't show any evidence!

Ling Yun's explanation made perfect sense too because the office did collapse immediately after he chased everyone out.

"Ah! This…" Everything was without proof, so after Ling Yun said that, Luo Zhong was tongue-tied and didn't know how to reply!

"Great! Ling Yun really did a great job! Yes, we were all at the scene, and we all saw Ling Yun rescuing everyone from the building!"

"Ling Yun is right! If it wasn't for him, all the workers would have been trapped underneath. Demolition company? They even skimp on the job and the materials used. If we get them to build our houses, how can we live in peace…"

"Indeed, a strong wind is all it needs to collapse…"

Everyone around them started helping and supporting Ling Yun's statement almost immediately.

All the elderlies who followed him over had stayed on Linjiang Road for many decades, which of them hadn't visited Qin Qiuyue's clinic? Who didn't know Qin Qiuyue?

Qin Qiuyue had resided in this poverty-stricken suburb for many years, and she had great connections with the people here. The massive tree that she planted here could be used by Ling Yun to shelter himself!

Moreover, they had been powerless against the demolition company. Now that Ling Yun was leading the way to hurt the demolition company and punish Hades Tian, who had been bullying them for many years, how could they not help Ling Yun?

Ling Yun smiled as he winked at Liang Fengyi and Long Wu. He saw the two of them making helpless and playful expressions at the same time. Long Kun, however, even gave him a thumbs up.

Ling Yun turned and clasped his fists towards the elderlies who were supporting him to express his gratitude. Shortly after that, he stared at the immensely awkward Luo Zhong to say, "Luo Zhong, you came and threw everything on me without any evidence to back up your statements. Are you going to disagree that you're a b*stard who loves bullying others?"

Ling Yun continued to address Luo Zhong as a b*stard, which made Luo Zhong lose his temper. Because everything happened too quickly, nobody had any evidence to prove anything. Everything Ling Yun said made perfect sense too, and it even obtained the support of the commoners!

Luo Zhong was no longer bothered by how Ling Yun constantly called him a b*stard as he rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, you can claim that you didn't tear down the office, but you cannot deny that you kidnapped Gou Lianshan, right?"

After saying that, Luo Zhong pointed at Gou Lianshan, who was lying on the ground. After saying that, he even laughed coldly as he thought he had found Ling Yun's sore spot.

All the reporters turned their camera lenses towards Gou Lianshan's direction and started filming him.

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head, looking helpless. He replied to Luo Zhong, "Kidnap? Who told you that I kidnapped Gou Lianshan?"

Luo Zhong sneered coldly, "The truth is right in front of you, and everyone can see that clearly. Are you really going to deny that?"

Ling Yun smiled as he pointed at Luo Zhong's nose to scold again. "Why can't you just admit you're a b*stard? Gou Lianshan suddenly felt ill and was hurting all over his body. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even move his body and constantly let out cold sweat. Even though he brought men to raze my house, I'm still a kind-hearted and professional doctor who chose to look beyond that. I helped to heal him and even got my friend to take good care of him. He is finally feeling slightly better and is able to move again, yet you're claiming that I kidnapped him?"

"What! This…" Luo Zhong was completely dumbfounded! All the policemen that came with him were completely dumbfounded! All the reporters in the vicinity were also dumbfounded!

This was because everything that seemed to make perfect sense from the surface was completely turned upside down by Ling Yun's words!

The first was how Ling Yun saw that the foundations of the office weren't sturdy and that he was kind-hearted enough to evacuate everyone from the office before the collapse. Next, Gou Lianshan actually suddenly fell sick and was in tremendous pain. At the crucial moment, Ling Yun chose not to punish Gou Lianshan for what he had done and even 'rescued' his enemy…

How was Ling Yun a criminal suspect? He was basically a benevolent and kind-hearted saint!

Dugu Mo recalled how he 'took care' of Gou Lianshan and the pain Gou Lianshan endured during the forty minutes. Dugu Mo was even trembling in fear when he saw what he endured. Now that he heard how Ling Yun was the one who 'rescued' him, he almost lost his balance while standing up.

Ling Yun's art of distorting the truth and shifting the blame away from himself was simply at the point of perfection. Dugu Mo almost fainted when he heard how natural Ling Yun sounded!

However, Dugu Mo didn't forget what he needed to do. He used his telepathic signal to send a message to Gou Lianshan. "If Luo Zhong questions you later, you should know what to say, right? I don't think you need me to teach you, right?"

Gou Lianshan had already said what he shouldn't have said earlier on. He even included Luo Zhong and the deputy mayor's name, and everything was recorded with Liang Fengyi's phone. He was already considered to be a dead pig in boiling soup.

Currently, he would rather suffer the retaliation of Xie Zhenting and Luo Zhong than suffer another minute of Ling Yun's torture. Even without Dugu Mo's reminder, Gou Lianshan knew exactly how to answer!

Ling Yun turned to Luo Zhong and said, "B*stard, if you don't believe my words, go ahead and ask Gou Lianshan. Earlier on, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. Right now, after my treatment, he is able to talk…"

Luo Zhong was hesitant as he suddenly realized that coming down personally today was a huge mistake.

He felt as though he had fallen into a deep and meticulously planned trap. Moreover, he felt like he was falling deeper and deeper!

Ling Yun saw his sparkling eyes and sneered as he indicated for Dugu Mo to bring him over. Ling Yun then went on to tell Gou Lianshan, "You! Tell this b*stard, Luo Zhong, how you were suffering from immense pain and how I'm the one who relieved you of it."

Gou Lianshan nodded like a chick pecking on rice. He hurriedly replied, "Director Luo, everything Ling Yun said is true. I did suffer from a sudden illness, and Ling Yun was the one who rescued me. He was saving me, not kidnapping…"

Gou Lianshan spoke in a very sincere, stern, and serious manner. When he mentioned Ling Yun's name, his facial expression was incredibly real as he shed tears on the spot. It was almost impossible to not believe him!

If Ling Yun hadn't relieved the restriction for a while, Gou Lianshan would have died from all the pain. Therefore, he wasn't technically lying when he said that Ling Yun rescued him.

"Luo Zhong, you didn't even investigate anything, and you're here distorting the truth deliberately. You even wanted to bring me back to the Public Security Bureau… Say, aren't you, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, arresting the good guy without evidence?

"Are you finally going to admit that you're a b*stard?"

Ling Yun wasn't going to show mercy to those in the wrong, and with nothing but his brilliant use of words, he forced Luo Zhong into a dead end!
