Chapter 090: Are you threatening me?
Su Dingfang gave Lin Hao a cold look, furrowed his brows, and stood up saying, "Come with me to the study, I've got something to discuss with you."
"Okay," Lin Hao replied, following him up to the third floor.
In the study on the third floor, Su Dingfang sat on the sofa, looking at Lin Hao across from him, feeling like he hated iron for not becoming steel.
"Lin Hao, did you go to the city last night?" Su Dingfang asked bluntly.
"Yes, Secretary Li asked me to pick her up," Lin Hao answered truthfully.
"Picking up Secretary Li is part of your job, but how did you end up offending Vice Mayor Zhang?" Su Dingfang asked in a deep voice.
"They drugged Secretary Li," Lin Hao didn't hide anything.
"Drugged?" Su Dingfang was also shocked, his face changing dramatically.
"Yes, they drugged Secretary Li and wouldn't let her leave, so I stood up..." Lin Hao roughly explained the situation.
When Su Dingfang heard that Vice Mayor Zhang actually wanted to sleep with Li Jingyi, he was furious and said, "I didn't expect Vice Mayor Zhang to be such a scoundrel!"
"Dad, how did you hear about this?" Lin Hao asked.
"An hour ago, a friend from the city called me, told me that you offended Vice Mayor Zhang last night, and said you'd better be careful!" Su Dingfang did not hide it.
"Dad, as long as I do right and hold myself upright, I'm not afraid of that old lecher Zhang Yonghong!" Lin Hao wasn't intimidated at all.
"Lin Hao, indeed you did nothing wrong, but why did you have to offend Zhang Yonghong? He's vindictive and will surely retaliate against you," Su Dingfang's expression was somewhat grave.
"Dad, don't worry. Zhang Yonghong won't dare do anything to me. I'll give him a call later, I doubt he would dare to do anything to me," Lin Hao said confidently. T#ha*n.k@ you for r&e#adi$n@g. Thi%s@ was bro%u*g$h!t to you by M|V|.L@*E^M%P&YR.-
"Zhang Yonghong is ruthless; don't provoke him. Even our Su Family can't afford to offend him!" Su Dingfang said, looking worried.
"Dad, don't worry, he's ruthless, and I'm even more so. If he pisses me off, I'll crush him in no time!" Lin Hao boasted.
Su Dingfang's eyes lit up suddenly, grinning slyly: "Lin Hao, do you have some dirt on Zhang Yonghong?"
"It's nothing much, just that bottle of wine they used to drug someone with last night, I have it now. If he dares to mess around, I'll make sure he loses everything!" Lin Hao said coldly.
"Lin Hao, this is something any man might do. If possible, one should forgive when able. Maintaining a good relationship with him could greatly help your career," Su Dingfang advised, seeing far ahead.
"You're right, such matters can be big or small, there's no need to be too bothered. Only eternal interests exist, no eternal enemies!" Lin Hao nodded slightly, indicating understanding.
"Lin Hao, it's good that you think this way. It's better to resolve enmities than to let them persist, especially in officialdom, where fewer enemies are best, otherwise, who knows how one might meet their end," Su Dingfang added.
"Dad, I know how to handle this," Lin Hao felt that his father-in-law made some sense.
Actually, this isn't a big deal, frankly speaking, it's just about wanting to fool around with a woman.
As long as Zhang Yonghong doesn't go too far, he wouldn't care too much. However, if Zhang Yonghong refuses to reconcile, it would be problematic.
Having lived another life, if Lin Hao senses hostility, he will undoubtedly drag Zhang Yonghong down with him.
Because after returning home last night, he had already looked through Zhang Jianming's diary and USB drive, which contained some criminal evidence against Zhang Yonghong.
As long as this evidence is reported to the city's discipline inspection commission, Zhang Yonghong is done for!
After his father-in-law gave him Zhang Yonghong's phone number, Lin Hao immediately dialed Zhang Yonghong's cell phone.
A senior official's phone number is a state secret, especially private numbers. Such high-level officials generally keep their numbers confidential.
When Zhang Yonghong saw this strange number, he froze for three seconds before answering.
"Hello, is this Vice Mayor Zhang? This is Lin Hao."
Upon hearing it was Lin Hao's call, Zhang Yonghong immediately wanted to hang up, but he heard Lin Hao's voice.
"If you hang up on me, I'll consider it a declaration of war, and I'll report last night's evidence in my real name to the city's discipline commission."
"You... you're threatening me?" Zhang Yonghong's voice was as cold and sharp as a knife.
"Hehehe..." Lin Hao laughed heartily: "Vice Mayor Zhang, listen to you. I just want to become friends with you, why make things unpleasant?"
"You damn ruined my plans, yet you have the nerve to befriend me!" Vice Mayor Zhang replied coldly.
"Since we're not friends, then I'll have to inform the discipline commission about last night. Anyway, I'm barefooted and unafraid of someone with shoes!" Lin Hao wasn't intimidated at all.
When Vice Mayor Zhang heard he was going to expose last night's events, he immediately fell silent, knowing that if this escalated further, Lin Hao might indeed do something drastic.
"Hahaha..." Vice Mayor Zhang laughed heartily: "Lin Hao, if you want a fight to the end, I'll be there with you. But if you can forget about last night, I believe we can become friends."
"Hahaha..." Lin Hao laughed heartily again, saying: "Vice Mayor Zhang, from now on, I think we are friends."
"You better not backtrack, or else I won't let you off!" Vice Mayor Zhang's smile faded as he warned coldly.
"Vice Mayor Zhang, I advise you not to act recklessly, and don't target me or Secretary Li, or I'll make sure to take you down with me before I die!" Lin Hao remained unflinching.
"In that case, let's let last night's incident pass. I don't want to hear any rumors in the future; it's best if we don't interfere with each other," Vice Mayor Zhang said coldly.
"Of course," Lin Hao said before hanging up.
Vice Mayor Zhang was so furious that he was jumping up and down, his teeth grinding loudly, looking as if he was about to explode.
However, he knew very well that if Lin Hao really wanted an all-out fight, the impact on him would be too significant.
Originally, after suffering a loss last night, he planned to teach Lin Hao and Li Jingyi a lesson today, but Lin Hao unexpectedly came up with a mutual destruction threat.
As the saying goes, those with nothing to lose fear nothing.
With his current status and power, Vice Mayor Zhang naturally wouldn't risk everything with Lin Hao over a small matter. After all, his status is distinguished, and his life is valuable.
Lin Hao precisely stepped on this sore spot of his, forcing him to retract all his impending dirty tricks.
To provoke Lin Hao, the hothead, at this moment, is evidently unwise. Therefore, Vice Mayor Zhang's intention is to deal with Lin Hao and Li Jingyi after some time has passed.
Su Dingfang didn't expect Lin Hao to confront Vice Mayor Zhang so boldly, and the other party actually yielded, agreeing not to trouble them.
Overall, Vice Mayor Zhang suffered a dumb loss today.
