Sword: Li Yunlong advised me to be civilized

Chapter 196 I am imitating Jiang Taigong and catching a big fish!

In the second-floor study of the Lin Mansion, a telescope peeked through the window screen, peering out at the main entrance. The crowd, many with blond hair, gathered. But no matter how hard the black-uniformed police tried to drive them away, they couldn't suppress the crowd's curiosity...

Xu Zhenhua, behind the camera, licked his lips unconsciously. Hehe! As expected, watching excitement is a universal hobby, especially for a monk known for his compassion, actually engaging in a street brawl. Such an outrageous thing is bound to cause a sensation...

There's no way around it. Although the Lin family is one of Shanghai's top families, to be honest, they're all show and no substance. They have assets and status, but they haven't ventured into some key industries, like journalism...

The fact that they dared to bring reporters to the house to cause trouble showed they were well prepared. It's reasonable to assume that as long as they controlled the newspapers, nothing about what happened in the Lin family would be spread. Even if the Lin family's humiliation could reverse the situation, it would likely be suppressed, and the incident would be reduced to nothing...

Xu Zhenhua, however, took a different approach. In those days, communication was so backward that sometimes rumors could spread even faster than newspapers, especially when it came to breaking news...

In addition, there is a more important purpose.

Xu Zhenhua moved the camera back, and in the big circle, eighteen monks in yellow robes stood in a row, with the high-spirited Lin Chaohui in front!

Hehe! Brother-in-law, don't say I'm not treating you well. I've worked so hard to arrange this, not just to vent your anger. I want to help you rise up and make Lin Chaohui, the current head of the Lin family, a true Shanghai tycoon... starting with sacrificing the Chief Inspector...

-------

At the gate, the output is still continuing...

Lin Chaohui was feeling very uncomfortable. Although he was still cursing, he really wanted to laugh. He finally understood why his father couldn't hold it back. He had been manipulated a lot by the Public Security Bureau over the years...

Lin Chaohui definitely felt the same way. Forget about anything else, just take the Chief Inspector in front of him. Lin Chaohui had been irritated by him quite a bit, but there was nothing he could do. The Lin family had many businesses, so they always needed the police station to deal with some of the rogues causing trouble...

However, every time Mr. Liao was asked for help, the money was collected quickly, but the matter was either delayed or the Lin family would suffer some losses.

When Lin Chaohui finally realized what was happening, he went to seek justice, but the person who dealt with him was very polite, acting like a kind and amiable elder. He kept calling him "nephew" and his words were full of teachings for the younger generation. It made him feel like vomiting blood, but he had to hold it back...

Zhenhua is right. This is an unsolvable form of favoritism. He's convinced you won't dare turn against him unless you can bring him greater benefits...

But the brother-in-law's method was quite rough. He threw away his fantasy and just scolded her, making her cry and get angry...

Thinking that this was a wonderful trick painstakingly designed for him by his brother-in-law, the renowned King of Qiannan, Lin Chaohui felt a surge of strength. He searched his brain for every curse word that came to mind, and spat it all out...

"Liao Xiaolin, you pig, you old bitch, I called the police so many times, but you just didn't come... After finally getting here, you didn't arrest those criminals, but arrested these masters who came to help. You are not crazy, you are a fucking idiot..."

The barrage of curses, like a machine gun, left everyone dumbfounded. No one spoke, all looking as if they had seen a ghost. How dare someone curse the Chief Constable in public? And what a nasty curse! Using such harsh words as "Zong Sang" was considered quite civilized. This was simply insane...

I originally came here to see a Western spectacle, but I didn't expect it to be so lively, exciting, and enjoyable...

On the other side, Liao Xiaolin was completely speechless and quickly ordered his men to disperse the crowd, but to little effect.

He never dreamed that the usually submissive young master of the Lin family would actually curse so harshly. Wasn't it just a little late? Weren't those scoundrels kicked out? Was it necessary to curse so harshly?

Normally, let alone someone daring to curse him like that, if any little bastard showed even a little disrespect, he would immediately slap them in the face...

But now he could only endure it. The Consul General was watching from above, and there were so many ordinary people watching. The police station had indeed let the criminals escape, and facing the scolding of the victims, what could he do? Should he scold back? Or take action?

At this time, doing nothing is the best thing to do...

The problem was, everyone around him was pointing and talking, looking gloating. Liao Xiaolin knew very well that good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. It didn't even need to wait until nightfall; the whole of Shanghai would know about it. Chief Inspector Hua was being scolded like a grandson by the eldest son of the Lin family...

No, this can't be the case. What's the most important thing in Shanghai? Reputation. A terrifying reputation. If today's events were to get out, all sorts of gossip would circulate. Even the smallest of people would dare to jump out and tease the tiger's whiskers...

Immediately, he flicked his sleeves and interrupted Lin Chaohui's scolding in a harsh voice.

"Hmph! Mr. Lin, don't go too far! I've tolerated you for a long time. How much have I helped your Lin family in the past? Young man, don't be so impulsive. Don't narrow your future path..."

After all, having held a high position for a long time, Liao Xiaolin spoke with authority, and his words were full of warnings, which made Lin Chaohui slightly stunned...

Seeing this, Liao Xiaolin couldn't help but feel happy. He's still young! Just a little scare will do the trick!

Then he walked forward and spoke in a nice voice.

"Zhaohui! We've known each other for a long time, there's no need to make things so awkward! If you have anything to say, let's talk behind closed doors. If you're unhappy about something, I, as your uncle, will definitely not ignore it!"

It's the same routine again, one hard and one soft. Lin Chaohui sneered in his heart, but at the same time he admired his brother-in-law very much. He could actually guess that the police station would want to deal with it coldly. How could this be possible? So he had to make a big deal out of it. He took a deep breath, as if he had calmed down, and then said in a deep voice.

"Boss Liao...my mother, you let the criminals escape!"

"Right! Let's talk it out...what?"

When Liao Xiaolin heard the first half of the sentence, he was overjoyed. This kid was still as easy to manipulate as before. But when the second half came out, he couldn't hold back his temper and cursed...

"Lin Zhaohui, do you really think I'm afraid of your Lin family? You chased out those scoundrels just now, and I see you're full of energy, even having the energy to curse. There's no danger to the Lin family!

Do you think you can do anything just because the Consul General is backing you up? What do you think I relied on to get to this position? Let me tell you, if you piss me off, I'll leave you with nowhere to go!

Lin Chaohui just glanced sideways and waved his hand, and his men handed over a large iron loudspeaker.

"Fellow citizens of Shanghai, just half an hour ago, a large number of robbers stormed the Lin Mansion and disrupted our Lin Ancestor's sacrificial ceremony. Even the master chef, who was only focused on chanting Amituofo, couldn't stand it...

But what did the police do? Not only did they let the criminals escape, but now they are threatening the Lin family, saying they will leave them with nowhere to go..."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd erupted. Many people had just heard Liao Xiaolin's threats, and countless insults were directed at the police station, even using the name of the Chief Inspector directly. They hadn't dared to do that before, but someone had just set an example...

By this time, Liao Xiaolin had come to his senses and was almost crying with anxiety. No wonder Lin Chaohui was acting so abnormally and cursing so harshly. He even smashed the ancestral altar. Anyone would have cursed...

In particular, when facing the angry people, he truly felt the pressure and understood what it meant to be the target of public criticism.

It's bad! It's bad! This is going to be a disaster!

Immediately, Liao Xiaolin took a few quick steps and pulled Lin Chaohui with a sad face.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, that's not what I meant. It's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!"

"Liao Xiaolin, damn it, are you a jerk?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I am a bastard..."

--------

Ten minutes later, in the lobby of the Lin Mansion, Lin Guoyang and his son had serious expressions on their faces, their hands behind their backs, staring at the portrait of their ancestor, which was covered in a lot of dirt...

Liao Xiaolin stood not far away, hunched over, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. He looked very submissive, but his eyes kept glancing around. The ground was covered with incense ash and various objects scattered everywhere...

On the other side of the hall, dozens of young men were squatting...

At this moment, he wanted to cry. He didn't expect that things would get so serious. Lin Zu was actually humiliated. Isn't this stirring up a hornet's nest?

The problem is that the kidnapping company actually caught a key member, along with dozens of thugs, with both the perpetrators and the evidence...

Finally, I understand why Lin Chaohui was acting so strangely? Looking back, at the gate, he was deliberately provoking him, using public opinion to cut off the police station's retreat...

Oh my! Lin Zhaohui, aren't you quite innocent? When did you become so powerful?

"Mr. Lin, I will definitely handle this impartially..."

"The Lin family only gives you one day to find out the real culprit, otherwise..."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

---------

Half an hour later, Xu Zhenhua and his companions stood in front of the study on the second floor, watching the police convoy drive away. The convoys were filled with the same gangsters who had broken into the hall...

Lin Chaohui was still very excited, but still confused.

"Zhenhua, as you said, this drama at the gate can, on the one hand, spread the news that Lin Zu was humiliated, and on the other hand, force the police station to follow the Lin family's wishes and find the real culprit. But we all know that the Heng Society is behind it! Even if they find out, in the end, won't it be a big deal or a small matter..."

"Haha! My target isn't the Heng Society. They're nothing. I can wipe them out in a minute. I'm imitating Jiang Taigong, catching a big fish. Just wait! The Lin family will become the most powerful family in Shanghai..."

Lai Xi, order the second team of the Security Bureau to take action and bring back Luo Hu for me..."

"Yes!"
