Chapter 162: Rebellion!
Lin Shuang took a deep drag of his cigarette and said, "Since I can't keep it secret anymore, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I have connections higher up."
Lin Shuang didn't intend to hide it any longer.
Upon hearing this, Dong Yongping's face trembled slightly! Was it just as he had guessed?! Behind Lin Shuang, there was a super backer! A backer powerful enough to bring down the Deputy City Lord! Dong Yongping was overjoyed, he had bet correctly!
But Su Wanqiao just rolled her eyes at him disdainfully, "Can't you stop bullshitting?"
Su Wanqiao didn't believe a word about Lin Shuang's so-called backer.
If he had a backer, what had he been doing all this time? Why didn't he use it before?
If Lin Shuang was said to have formidable combat skills and had killed Bai Wangchuan, that, Su Wanqiao could believe.
But to say Lin Shuang had a powerful backer? Su Wanqiao didn't believe it at all. The investigation into Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan... It must have been a coincidence.
The higher-ups had recently been cracking down on crime and evil, and Bai Wangchuan's death had drawn their attention. Following the trail had led them to Gao Yuan, and they took action in one fell swoop.
This could only be described as a coincidence.
Lin Shuang: "...???"
How could this woman not believe him when he was telling the truth?
"I'm not lying to you," Lin Shuang said earnestly.
Su Wanqiao gave him another disdainful glance, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you."
Lin Shuang was left speechless... Nowadays, didn't anyone believe the truth anymore?
Although Su Wanqiao didn't believe him, Dong Yongping had absolute faith in Lin Shuang.
Dong Yongping was pleading with Lin Shuang to protect him.
Lin Shuang nodded, opened his WeChat QR code, and passed it to him, "Scan this and add me. If the Du Family dares to trouble you, just message me on WeChat anytime. I will take care of it."
With Lin Shuang's assurance, Dong Yongping excitedly nodded and added Lin Shuang on WeChat.
After adding WeChat, Dong Yongping ordered his men to return all the medicinal materials from those twenty-odd warehouses to Su Wanqiao.
Only then did Dong Yongping respectfully take his leave, leading his gang of subordinates away.
After Dong Yongping had left,
Su Wanqiao called Lin Shuang into her office.
Su Wanqiao solemnly warned, "Don't go boasting to others in the future. The credit for bringing down Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan cannot be claimed arbitrarily. Otherwise, if word gets out, the authorities might capture you along with the others. After all, Bai Wangchuan died at your hands... The recent crackdown is very strict, you must be careful. The gun always aims for the bird that stands out, so try to keep a low profile."
Lin Shuang was speechless. Why couldn't this woman just believe him?
"Understood," Lin Shuang didn't bother to explain any further, "Is there anything else? If not, I'm out of here."
"Wait a minute," Su Wanqiao suddenly called him back, "Explain the lipstick mark on your face. What's your relationship with Ren Kexin?"
Lin Shuang was startled, took a look with his cellphone, and indeed, there was a seductive lipstick mark on his face.
It was left by Ren Kexin who had forcefully kissed him earlier.
Damn it.
Lin Shuang hurriedly wiped off the lipstick mark from his cheek and explained, "What relationship could I have with her? This morning, she suddenly called me to her office to move some things, and as soon as I walked in, she ambushed me with a kiss. Then you arrived. That woman is bad news, she deliberately tried to drive a wedge between us. President Su, rest assured, I'm completely loyal, apart from you, I won't touch any other woman!"
Su Wanqiao glared at him fiercely, "Enough, stop blocking my view, get lost!"
Lin Shuang pursed his lips and fled the office in a flash...
...
In Shanghai, at the Du Family Manor.
The Crown Prince Du Tingchao was sitting in front of a pavilion, playing Go with his female secretary.
Just then, one of his subordinates hurried over as if to report urgent news.
"How did it go? Did Dong Yongping make his move?" Du Tingchao asked indifferently while continuing with his game.
The subordinate reported with a complex tone, "My lord... Du Yongping... has defected!"
