376 Real Intention Revealed

After a series of scoldings and cursings from Ling Yun, Luo Zhong could only remain silent. The Luo Zhong, who was always concerned about portraying a wonderful image for himself, was no longer bothered by his current image. His face turned from white to red, from red to green, from green to purple, and eventually, yellow. Sweat kept dripping off his head!

It was already 11am, and the sun became even hotter. At 93 degrees, everyone was sweating profusely, but Luo Zhong was breaking out in a cold sweat!

When he first arrived at the scene, he portrayed himself as a fair and capable Director of the Public Security Bureau seeking justice. He was determined to arrest Ling Yun for his crimes and to give the victim an explanation.

He actually said all that in front of the countless reporters and broadcasters. In the end, when he tried to arrest Ling Yun, he couldn't even bring out any evidence to prove Ling Yun was guilty. Moreover, he was cursed and scolded. The two things he wanted to arrest Ling Yun for were instantly turned into a huge joke!

Luo Zhong messed everything up for himself!

He had no evidence while Ling Yun had human testimony as well as material evidence. Even the person who was 'kidnapped' actually confessed that he wasn't being kidnapped, so what else could Luo Zhong say?

The number one female reporter of the province, Su Lingfei, squeezed forward and stared at Ling Yun for a long while. Following that, she turned and raised her microphone towards Luo Zhong and asked with perfect words, "Director Luo, may I know what your current opinion of this case is now?"

Luo Zhong was inwardly angry at this female reporter for not being tactful at all. Wasn't she slapping him in the face by asking him a question like that at a time like this?

Even though he felt angry and awkward, he was a well-experienced man who had been through countless big occasions. He was also a cunning old fox, so he simply wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "This… It seems like this case is far more complicated than we first imagined. We will definitely need to carry out a deeper investigation…"

Su Lingfei smiled in a mature manner as she continued to question him. "So Director Luo, do you feel like your judgment towards this case is lacking? Looking at all the evidence here, it seems like everything Ling Yun said is true, which proves that he is a good man. Or rather, he is an outstanding and professional doctor. However, you almost brought him back to the bureau…"

Luo Zhong hurriedly waved his hands and said, "This… We still have to investigate more for the time being. Before the truth is out, I will not accept any more interviews…"

Su Lingfei nodded her head but was reluctant to let Luo Zhong off. She continued, asking, "May I ask what Director Luo's next investigation is going to be about?"

Luo Zhong replied with a low voice, "Hmm… Regardless, Ling Yun single-handedly tore down the two mansions that belonged to Mr. Tian. This is a definite truth, and I don't think he is planning to deny that, right?"

After saying that, Luo Zhong lifted his head towards Ling Yun and said, "Ling Yun, we might need to undergo further investigations regarding the two matters earlier, so we shall put a pause on that for the time being. However…"

Luo Zhong pointed at the ruins of Tian Botao's mansions as he said, "But these two mansions were brought down by you. If you can give us a reasonable explanation, the Public Security Bureau will let you off for now. However, if you cannot give us a good explanation, we will definitely bring you back no matter what you say!"

"Luo Zhong, you're truly an out-and-out b*stard!" Ling Yun didn't give an explanation as he scolded Luo Zhong once more through Su Lingfei's microphone.

He could tell that Luo Zhong was currently a sheep in wolf's clothing. While he might appear firm and stern on the outside, he was actually trembling in his heart. He was forcing himself to hang on! Even though Luo Zhong mentioned that he could let Ling Yun off for the time being, Ling Yun knew that he still had many unmet objectives. Therefore, he was naturally not going to let Luo Zhong off so easily!

Ling Yun turned to Tang Meng and said, "Tang Meng, get someone to carry Hades Tian over here!"

Tang Meng stood at the back and really enjoyed how Ling Yun kept calling Luo Zhong a b*stard in front of everyone present. He was clearly the one who was most satisfied with this!

Now that Ling Yun called him out, he instantly ordered the few people carrying Tian Botao to bring him over to Ling Yun.

"Uncle Luo, my Big Brother Yun kept calling you a b*stard, but you must not get angry. It won't be good for you to be so angry all the time. Hence, I shall apologize to you on his behalf…"

Tang Meng walked casually towards Luo Zhong as he spoke to him in an eccentric manner. Even though he was apologizing, everyone around him could tell that he was simply making use of the opportunity to call Luo Zhong a b*stard!

How could Tang Meng control himself and not scold him? Presently, Xie Zhenting and Luo Zhong controlled the entire Qingshui City and were incompatible like fire and water with Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao. Both parties were no longer able to tolerate each other, and the war in the dark had turned into an open war. This was a battle to the death, and neither side was going to give in!

Luo Zhong knew that Tang Meng wasn't really apologizing but was scolding him instead. However, he was clearly occupied with thinking about how he could get out of this sticky situation. He was in no mood to argue with Tang Meng.

Ling Yun chuckled as he came forward, admitting, "As a true b*stard, this is the first thing you've gotten right today. I'm a man of my actions, and it is indeed me who demolished two of Hades Tian's mansions!"

Just when everyone was contemplating how Ling Yun would come up with an excuse for himself, Ling Yun's words shocked the entire crowd!

"Ling Yun confessed?"

"What? Why would he do that?"

"This Luo Zhong finally has a reason to arrest him…"

Even Long Wu and Liang Fengyi didn't expect Ling Yun to confess so straightforwardly, let alone Su Lingfei and the countless reporters behind her.

Su Lingfei stared thoughtfully at Ling Yun, thinking that Ling Yun always had a glib tongue and could distort the truth anyhow he liked! Why did he admit to his act so quickly?

After hearing that, Luo Zhong was probably the only one in the crowd who was celebrating in his heart. Tsk! Now that you confessed, I finally have a reason to arrest you!

Just when he was about to speak, Ling Yun continued, "Not only did I tear down two of Hades Tian's mansions, I'm going to tear down his third one too. Director Luo, please don't leave in a hurry because I want you to watch me demolish his third mansion…"

Luo Zhong grunted. "Ling Yun, you destroyed other people's property recklessly, including two mansions which were worth millions of dollars. That is enough to sentence you to jail for many years! Bring him away!"

Liang Fengyi and Long Wu were panicking when they heard that and were clearly worried and anxious for Ling Yun.

Ling Yun chuckled. "B*stard, why are you getting so excited? Why don't you hear what this guy with the surname Tian has to say?"

After saying that, Ling Yun kicked Hades Tian, who was on the ground. "Guy with the surname Tian, stop pretending to be dead on the ground. Hurry up and tell him…"

By kicking him, Ling Yun was actually releasing the paralysis point on his body. Tian Botao instantly felt that he could move again, and he struggled to stand up. His body was shaking, and he almost fell back to the ground.

At this moment, Ling Yun was too lazy to warn Tian Botao or remind him of what to say. He allowed him to say anything he wished since Ling Yun already had the recordings of Gou Lianshan and Tian Botao. The recordings of these two men were complementary with each other, so once he showed them to all the media reporters here, Luo Zhong would instantly have his reputation swept away. Therefore, he couldn't be bothered at all.

"Director Luo, Ling Yun isn't to be blamed for this matter. I am the one at fault. I wanted revenge, so I made use of the demolition office to raze his house without his permission. Now that he came to tear down my house, I have nothing to say other than that I deserve it. I will definitely not ask Ling Yun to take any responsibility…"

Tian Botao stood respectfully in front of Luo Zhong as he nodded and said, "Moreover, I've made my decision to give my remaining mansion to Ling Yun. I want this mansion to be compensation for demolishing his house. Regardless of what Ling Yun does to that mansion, I'll have nothing to do with it!"

"Wow…" Nobody could believe what they heard!

Hades Tian, who had spent years bullying the common people here, finally met his supporter. Instead of making use of his savior's help, he actually admitted his mistake!

Ling Yun and Tang Meng exchanged smiles with each other before looking meaningfully at Tian Botao. Ling Yun sneered coldly in his heart!

Tian Botao wanted to trivialize this matter. He wanted to send Luo Zhong away while this matter was still within Luo Zhong's control!

This Hades Tian was indeed a government official. Under helpless circumstances, he sold out Luo Zhong, and given his current circumstances, he was still trying to pave an escape route for himself and do Luo Zhong a huge favor!

Even though Tian Botao was lying on the ground like a dead dog earlier, he was observing everything clearly. Ling Yun had a glib tongue, and after Luo Zhong was humiliated by Ling Yun on multiple occasions, Tian Botao could tell that Luo Zhong's predicament today wouldn't be good!

After demolishing Ling Yun's house, it was only natural for Ling Yun to tear down his house in return. The only difference would be the difference in price, but the nature of the action was the same.

Therefore, even if there weren't other reasons, Luo Zhong had no reason to arrest Ling Yun. The men from Green Dragon wouldn't be the only ones who wouldn't agree to the arrest, none of the folks in the district today would agree either!

Moreover, Ling Yun had many hidden trump cards in his hands. Once he showed everything to the public and media, Luo Zhong would be in a completely passive state. By then, it would be incredibly hard for him to leave this place.

And for himself, he would instantly turn into a street rat and be scolded by people from both sides!

After hearing everything Tian Botao said, Luo Zhong would back off immediately if he was shrewd and attentive enough. He should have been able to tell that something went wrong because all the reasons he wanted to use to arrest Ling Yun were completely flipped.

This was Tian Botao's plan. Having torn down two mansions, nobody could stop Ling Yun from tearing down the third mansion. In fact, it would only be a matter of minutes before it turned into ruins. Therefore, he would rather go with the flow of the situation and gift this mansion as compensation to Ling Yun. He wanted Ling Yun to benefit from it to suppress his anger!

In this way, the matter wouldn't be blown up any further, and Luo Zhong would have some pride to leave the scene. After everyone left, they could either continue fighting or sit down to have a discussion. Either way, they would have won a breather for themselves!

Tian Botao could be considered to have everything planned out well in his head. However, he underestimated one thing and also misjudged another!

He underestimated Ling Yun's IQ and misjudged the fact that everything Ling Yun did today wasn't solely to put him in his place.

Everything that Ling Yun did today was for the bigger fish, Luo Zhong! There were many objectives he had yet to fulfill, so how could he let Luo Zhong off so easily?

Therefore, Ling Yun and Tang Meng could only laugh in their hearts. They couldn't be bothered with Tian Botao's scheme and were simply waiting for Luo Zhong's reaction.

Luo Zhong wasn't dumb, so he was naturally able to tell that there was a hidden meaning within Tian Botao's words. Therefore, he acted as if he were furious and said in a solemn tone, "Nonsense! Mr. Tian, as an administrator, how can you tear down someone else's house forcefully? We have to investigate further into this matter!"

After acting this way, he turned and told Ling Yun, "Ling Yun, after he demolished your house forcefully, you could have brought this up to the police, the government, or the law, right? We live in a harmonious society, so how can you go ahead with your revenge all by yourself?"

"Moreover, even though the house is private property, it's still an asset of the country. It isn't easy to build a house, so how can you demolish it as you wish?

"And you caused such a huge commotion, one which startled and disrupted the lives of many commoners here. This isn't very nice, right?"

Luo Zhong seemed to have returned to his 'upright' character, and after saying so many morally right words, he turned to the reporters behind him. "Since everything happens for a reason, the two parties will have a private discussion on how to settle the dispute of Ling Yun demolishing Mr. Tian's mansions. We, the Public Security Bureau, will continue to follow the discussion to ensure that this investigation concludes properly. Now, everyone can leave…"

Luo Zhong used the most simple of words to conclude everything before ordering the few policemen beside him to dismiss.

This was the most important thing. Up until that point, he had lost all of his reasons to arrest Ling Yun, and he realized that Ling Yun was incredibly difficult to deal with. This wasn't as simple as he first imagined!

Initially, he thought Ling Yun would oppose him physically. This way, he could even order his men to shoot Ling Yun down and save himself from all future troubles!

However, every word Ling Yun said was backed up with logic and evidence. With a few words, he managed to flip the table around and attained victory without even fighting!

Luo Zhong's face turned gloomy, and he wanted to sneak away as soon as possible. However, Ling Yun was never going to let that happen!

Ling Yun raised his hand lightly and pressed on Luo Zhong's shoulder. He looked at Luo Zhong with a cold smile as he said, "B*stard, you might be done with what you came to do, but I'm not done with you! Why are you trying to leave?"

Real intention revealed!

Luo Zhong felt as though his shoulder was pressed down by a mountain. He wasn't even able to move his body, let alone move a single step forward. His heart stopped beating for the slightest of moments, and he was incomparably shocked!

Ling Yun pressed lightly onto Luo Zhong's shoulder, which made him unable to move at all. After that, he said, "Don't you love to talk about enforcing the law? While so many policemen are around, I do have many depressing issues on hand that I feel extremely indignant about. I hope that a b*stard like you can help me settle all of these on the spot!"

Luo Zhong's face cramped slightly as he tried his best to break free from Ling Yun's grasp. Even so, he realized that he was simply wasting his energy. All he could do was to reply with a dry throat, "Ling Yun, I have to return to the Public Security Bureau for an emergency meeting! Don't go overboard here! If you want to report a case, please head to the bureau…"

Ling Yun snickered when he heard that. "Emergency meeting? Are you holding a meeting just so you can figure out how to arrest me? Today is a Sunday, so I bet none of your workers are even working."

"Of course, I know I have to go to the bureau to report a case. However, every case that I want to report happens to concern you, the Director of the Public Security Bureau. Since you are here now, let's settle this here and now. Otherwise, wouldn't I be wasting extra effort like taking off my pants to fart?"

Ling Yun caused such a huge commotion just so he could force Luo Zhong out from his nest. This was the moment Ling Yun waited so long for!

Regardless of whether it was old debts or new debts, he wanted to settle them once and for all with Luo Zhong!

"I want to ask, why did none of the policemen here come to investigate or show authority when someone else came to demolish my house? Why is it that when I'm the one tearing down someone's house, even the Director of the Public Security Bureau came down personally to deal with it?"

"I want to ask, why is it that everyone at the Public Security Bureau turned a blind eye when the clinic that I constructed for so long got wrecked by others? That is despite the fact that the manager, as well as workers in my clinic, got severely injured!"

"I want to ask, why did you arrest my brother, Tie Xiaohu? Which law and which section of the law did he violate? Where is the evidence? And what is his sentence? It has been over forty-eight hours now, so why haven't you let him go?"

"I want to ask, what right do you have to seal both of my mansions? What right do you have to confiscate the keys to my mansions, and what evidence do you have to say that the source of my assets are unknown? And why the hell did you freeze my bank accounts?"

Ling Yun executed his Mystical Dragon Howl as he increased the volume of his voice significantly!

Every word and every sentence was incredibly loud, and everyone present heard the words clearly!

Ling Yun asked Luo Zhong a series of question, and towards the end, he smiled coldly and shouted, "Speak!"

The voice was thunderous!

"Oh god! I was wondering why Ling Yun kept calling Luo Zhong a b*stard. Now I know why! I can't believe he did so many things to Ling Yun!"

"Indeed! How can a Director of the Public Security Bureau do such things? He is clearly picking on Ling Yun…"

"Looking at his actions today, he must have done something shameful! Intentionally picking on Ling Yun, arresting his brothers, sealing his apartments, and even freezing his bank accounts…"

"A Director of the Public Security Bureau using such dirty methods to deal with someone… This is way too ruthless!"

…

Luo Zhong's body felt numb, and he couldn't stop sweating. Looking into Ling Yun's eyes, he finally revealed an indescribable fear and panic!
