Chapter 155: The Eve of Fleeing
"What is that??" Lin Shuang asked in confusion.
Su Wanqiao handed the tablet to Lin Shuang.
"Did you do this?"
Lin Shuang took the tablet with a look of surprise, and when she saw the news on it, her expression froze in shock, "What? The Deputy City Lord was taken down? This is divine retribution! It's his karma!"
Lin Shuang showed absolute shock.
"Does Gao Yuan being arrested have anything to do with you?" Su Wanqiao asked with a complex look in her eyes.
Although she also felt it was unlikely, still, she had an intuition—she always felt that this matter was connected to Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang shook her head in astonishment, "Ms. Su, are you joking? I'm just a common citizen, how could I have the power to bring down the Deputy City Lord?"
"Then why is it that everything happened so coincidentally? You went to the company this morning, and Bai Wangchuan died? Then in the afternoon, Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan was arrested? Don't you think all this is too coincidental?" Su Wanqiao asked profoundly.
Lin Shuang said with a speechless face, "I really went out to fix my phone, you can even check the repair records if you don't believe me."
Lin Shuang showed her the phone repair records.
"Ms. Su, if I had the ability to deal with the Deputy City Lord, would I still be staying by your side as a mere driver? I would have risen high and far by now," Lin Shuang explained with a face full of disbelief.
Hearing Lin Shuang's words, Su Wanqiao also mockingly shook her head, probably overthinking it herself.
How could this matter be related to Lin Shuang?
Lin Shuang was just a martial artist; how could he have the power to bring down Gao Yuan?
It seemed, all this was just a coincidence.
Yet, recalling what he said, Su Wanqiao glared at him again, "What? It seems like you really dislike being my personal driver? Do you feel resentful driving for me?"
Lin Shuang repeatedly offered placating smiles, "How could that be, driving for Ms. Su is my honor."
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and offered it to Su Wanqiao.
"Ms. Su, this is a bead-bursting Su cigarette, try it, trust me, it's really invigorating to smoke and has a hint of mint," Lin Shuang said earnestly.
"Get lost." Su Wanqiao glared at him and walked past him... walking straight out of the office.
At the office door, her sister Su Zhiyan suddenly became curious, "That, my sister doesn't smoke, how about you let me try it?"
This girl had never smoked before and was quite curious about Lin Shuang's cigarette.
Lin Shuang handed the Su cigarette to Su Zhiyan and lit it for her.
A harsh minty smoke instantly filled Su Zhiyan's throat.
"Cough, cough!" It being Su Zhiyan's first time smoking, she was immediately choked by the harsh smoke and coughed repeatedly.
Su Wanqiao suddenly turned around, came back, snatched the cigarette from her sister's hand, and crushed it on the ground with her high heels.
"Lin Shuang! I don't care if you smoke, but don't corrupt my sister! If you dare offer her a cigarette again, I will dock your entire month's salary!" Su Wanqiao threatened coldly before turning and leaving...
Lin Shuang muttered under his breath, "Fine, just don't give it then, why be so fierce?"
...
At dusk, with the announcement released by the Integrity Commission of the South.
In an instant, the entire business and underworld of Jiangnan... were all shocked!
Jiangnan was greatly shaken.
Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan, just like that, was taken down?
For Jiangnan, it was nothing short of an earthquake!
The court officials all shivered, terrified that the anti-corruption storm would sweep over them.
And the members of the underground societies were even more frightened out of their wits... fearful that the above-ground sweep against crime would come their way and wipe out their groups as well.
Being in the court and being in the underground society led to drastically different outcomes.
The members of the court, even if they committed heinous crimes, were rarely sentenced to death, at most life imprisonment.
But these members of the underground society, once arrested, mostly faced nothing but the death penalty as a starting point.
So the outcomes for members of the right track and the underworld were starkly different, hence the underground world of Jiangnan was terrified and restless this night.
Tonight, for the entire underground world of Jiangnan, was destined to be a sleepless night.
That night, at the Peace Society casino.
At that moment, Dong Yongping sat on the sofa, restless and uneasy.
Bai Wangchuan was dead.
Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan had been arrested.
Only his Peace Society was still lingering on.
Since Dong Yongping and Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan had no business dealings, his Peace Society had luckily escaped disaster.
But Dong Yongping was already scared to collapse.
If things continued like this, his Peace Society might also be targeted.
Dong Yongping kept smoking, his mind filled with doubts and fears.
Although the authorities announced that Bai Wangchuan's death and the arrest of Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan... had no connection to Lin Shuang.
Dong Yongping had a nagging feeling that everything behind the scenes... might still be greatly related to that Lin Shuang!
That Lin Shuang, just a driver, how could he have such grand schemes?
Dong Yongping was completely terrified, and that night, he immediately got up, ordered his subordinates, "Get the car ready! Take me to HuHai International Airport!"
Dong Yongping no longer dared to stay in Jiangnan, planning to take a plane out of Jiangnan that night...
First, to escape to another province to avoid the storm.
But just as Dong Yongping was leaving the building, suddenly the outside of the Peace Society was enveloped by a massive fleet of vehicles, surrounding the entire casino building!
