Strongest Counterattack

Chapter 434 Lin Changting’s Eyes Lit Up

Qin Sheng had visited the Lin Family quietly, made a scene, and left swaggeringly in the end. Even so, none of the Lin Family members had dared to stand in his way...

If people with a different surname saw what had happened today, they would be so overwhelmingly astounded, let alone every member of the Lin Family with its hundreds of years’ history, who would wonder when the Lin Family had been bullied to such an extent in Ningbo before. Moreover, what Qin Sheng had done today was more than bully the Lin Family, which was a naked humiliation to the Lin Family since he had stomped them to the ground. Most importantly, this man who had humiliated the Lin Family today was previously a loser that everybody of the Lin Family had looked down upon.

Why had Qin Sheng been so confident? Was it true that he was not afraid that the Lin Family would get back at him? These questions lingered around everybody’s heart at this moment, which had been raised multiple times. Everybody of the Lin Family also thought so at this moment.

Qin Sheng took Lin Su with him, laughed out loud, and left. The resentment, which had been accumulated for more than one year, was finally vented off by half in the end. However, he knew what had happened today was not an end but a beginning. After all, the Lin Family would not admit defeat that easily.

Qu Fan smiled bitterly and helplessly. Following that, he left the Lin Family house. It was not until this time that he figured out what had happened. It turned out that Lin Su, the daughter of the Lin Family, who was well known in Ningbo, was Qin Sheng’s girlfriend. He had known that Lin Changting had gotten this daughter from another woman outside. Based on the temper and character of Lin Changting’s wife, Lin Su must have led a difficult life over these years. The reason why Qin Sheng had been so angry today should be because of Lin Su.

As for what had happened in detail, Qu Fan had no clue. Nor did he bother to take a guess. He had enjoyed the explosive show today very much. Lin Songhao, who had been commanding in Ningbo for many years, had been beaten so badly that blood ran down all over his face. The Lin Family, which had been rooted in Ningbo for hundreds of years, had been humiliated helplessly. If he told others about what had happened today, he believed that nobody would buy it.

However, Qu Fan believed that what had happened today was just a prelude. Since Qin Sheng had taken the initiative to launch an attack, following that, the Lin Family and Lin Songhao would fight back. After that, Qin Sheng would need to deal with the counterattacks.

But he did not worry about Qin Sheng at all. On the contrary, he was concerned about the Lin Family and Lin Songhao. The harder they got back at Qin Sheng, the sooner they would die. The Qin Family in Beijing was not something that a kind of underling like them could offend. Back when Qin Sheng said the Qin Family could not afford to be disgraced, nobody else might have figured out what Qin Sheng had meant except for Qu Fan, who knew how important the Qin Family was.

After Qin Sheng’s group members all got into the car and left, Lin Changting could not control himself anymore. He kicked down an accessory made of bronze by his side directly and said furiously, “Why haven’t Guo Mingyu’s people arrived yet? F**k!”

The man named Guo Mingyu was the first in command of the Branch Office of the Qiandong Lake Scenic Area, who was quite closely connected to the Lin Family on usual days. However, of course, the Lin Family would not take this kind of director in an ordinary branch office seriously. Consequently, Guo Mingyu came and went at the order of the Lin Family.

The look on Lin Ze’s face was also ghastly as he replied, “I will urge that old, useless bastard now.”

Instead of cooling himself down, Lin Changting added, “Changhe, call everybody now and ask them to come home. This time, I won’t let this arrogant and cocky guy get away easily.”

Lin Changhe frowned slightly and said, “Brother, the more I ponder it, the more I think the situation is not that easy. We should watch out.”

Before Lin Changting replied, at this time, Lin Songhao had been pulled up by the bodyguards, who might have been forgotten about by all the members of the Lin Family. He ridiculed them and said, “No wonder he said the Lin Family was going downhill. When did the Lin Family become cowards? Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle, you depleted the dignity of our family since you were scared to such an extent by such a reckless fool. All right. Since you dare not do it, I will get it done. However, to be frank, don’t blame me if I injured Susu by mistake.”

Knowing that Lin Songhao had no bottom line at all when it came to getting things done, Lin Changhe said in a hurry, “Lin Songhao, it’s better if you don’t act recklessly.”

Lin Songhao sneered directly and said, “Don’t point your fingers at me. If you push me to the edge, I will also deal with you, you outlived and useless bastards.”

After Lin Songhao finished his words, he left along with his bodyguards. At this moment, he was in a gloomy mood and seemed to have an impulse to kill anyone along with their respective family members if they dared to offend him. After all, it had been ages since he had suffered such a great loss as today. Moreover, he had been beaten badly by a young man with no powerful family connections at all. Consequently, of course, Lin Songhao was greatly agitated.

After Lin Songhao left, speaking of the outsiders on the scene, there were Chen Jiahao, Song Chu, and Tan Jing. Song Chu and Tan Jing felt more awkward than Chen Jiahao. After all, they were Lin Su’s friends, who had played against the Lin Family. Consequently, at this moment, they were at a loss.

After Song Chu and Tan Jing looked each other in the eyes and signaled each other, they finally said to all the members of the Lin Family, “Uncle, Auntie, we will go home now since we have something to attend to. We won’t bother you here anymore.”

Other members of the Lin Family did not have time for them, except for Lin Yue, who took the initiative to say, “Sisters, let me see you off.”

What Lin Yue had said somewhat helped them out. They could not help feeling sincerely grateful to this kind little girl. After Song Chu and Tan Jing left, only Chen Jiahao was still there, who was somewhat confused.

At this moment, Lin Ze came back after he finished a call. Lin Changhe ordered Lin Ze and said, “Lin Ze, walk Jiahao out. Since the situation of our family is in chaos today, we won’t keep him here.”

Chen Jiahao, who was eager to leave this place, was ready to walk out after he said farewell to the Lin Family members. Lin Changhe said calmly, “Jiahao, sorry for what happened today. However, I sincerely hope that some things would not be leaked to the outsiders. As for Susu’s issue, our family will surely give you an explanation.”

Chen Jiahao smiled bitterly and shook his head as he said, “Uncle Lin, I get your point.”

By the time Lin Ze walked Chen Jiahao out, two police cars had driven into the entrance of the Lin Family home. The leader was exactly Director Guo, a man in his 40s.

After Lin Ze saw Chen Jiahao off, he walked over to Director Guo’s side slowly and taunted him. “Director Guo, you arrived just in time. Those who made a scene are already f**king gone!”

Hardly had Director Guo entered the Lin Family house when he was accused by Lin Ze right in the face. Of course, he was quite angry in secret, but he did not let the look on his face betray him. Moreover, he had achieved his current social status due to the Lin Family’s help. Intending to strengthen his relationship with the Lin Family, he would not offend them easily.

Director Guo threw his arms around Lin Ze’s shoulders and said solemnly, “Xiao Lin, this issue is not that easy at all. Let’s talk about it inside.”

In the disordered living room of the Lin Family, the servants were busy clearing up the mess. As for the injured bodyguards, the seriously injured ones had been sent to the hospital, especially Uncle Fu, who had been badly hurt. Lin Changhe felt concerned as well as guilty about Uncle Fu.

When Lin Ze walked in with Director Guo, the brothers of the Lin Family, whose faces were both covered with gloominess, were sitting on the sofa, looking distracted. They frowned and pondered how they should deal with today’s issue. As for Yu Hong, she cursed Qin Sheng and Lin Su with vicious words continuously, especially Lin Su, saying that they should not have allowed this little coquette to enter their family at that time, who had harmed her family to such an extent.

Feeling irritated, Lin Changting yelled directly and said, “Enough! Shut up and go upstairs.”

Rarely had Lin Changting gotten angry with Yu Hong. Consequently, his reaction this time startled Yu Hong. It was not until now that Yu Hong realized that what she had done was wrong and went upstairs in a hurry.

Lin Changting squinted and said enigmatically, “Director Guo, I thought that I’d only see you in two days.” He was quite dissatisfied with Guo Mingyu.

Instead of acting mystically, Director Guo explained honestly, “Dear Brother Lin, don’t mock me. It is because of your help that I’m able to achieve my current status. I was surely anxious when you called the police. However, as you think about it, you will realize that there is a mobile police car 100 meters away from the main entrance of your family house. The nearest police station is only one kilometer away from your house. So why didn’t they send any policemen over? Why did I just arrive now?”

What Guo Mingyu had said made Lin Changting and Lin Changhe dumbfounded directly. Lin Ze asked in a hurry, “Director Guo, what do you mean?”

The two masters of the Lin Family got Director Guo’s point, but Lin Ze was still too young to figure out his meaning. Consequently, Director Guo went on explaining, “I will not play word games with you, to be honest. After all, your family does help me a lot. It turned out I received the relative calls an hour ago. After that, I had been staying at the police station with my underlings. When you called the police, I took action immediately. However, we did not march forward anymore when we arrived at the crossing outside of your family house. Don’t blame me for being late today. As long as those people are still in here, I wouldn’t have come here tomorrow either unless there was a reported causality.”

After Lin Ze heard what Director Guo had said, he was quite astounded. No wonder Qin Sheng had been so confident. It turned out that he had the support from someone at a higher level. However, even so, the Lin Family was not a pushover that anyone could offend.

Lin Changting asked straightforwardly, “Lao Guo, from whom did you receive the calls?”

Instead of keeping the Lin Family in the dark, Director Guo told Lin Changting directly, “Director Liu.” After the brothers of the Lin Family heard his words, the looks on their faces changed slightly. It turned out that Director Liu was the second in command in the municipal public security bureau. However, was the situation that simple as they expected? Of course, a second in command in a municipal public security bureau would not dare to offend the Lin Family easily. Moreover, the Lin Family had been on good terms with Director Liu.

As expected, Director Guo added, “Dear Brother Lin, don’t blame Director Liu. Before I came here to talk with you today, I informed Director Liu in advance. Director Liu took a great risk to tell you the truth, saying that your family had offended a pivotal figure who could not be provoked. Director Liu also got calls from the provincial public security bureau and Municipal Party committee at the same time. Think about it, those connections are not single-lined. Consequently, I will skip what will happen next. I think you know it better than me.”

As Lin Changhe expected, the situation was not as easy as they had imagined. It was more and more complicated. It turned out that Qin Sheng had utilized two connection lines with powerful resources at the same time. However, Qin Sheng could not be that powerful. In this case, who was behind him?

Since Director Guo had finished what he needed to say, what would happen next would be out of his control. After all, it was a fight between various powerful parties. Consequently, he stood up and said, “Dear Brother Lin, it’s time for me to leave. We can contact each other later if anything happens.”

Instead of standing up, the two masters of the Lin Family asked Lin Ze to walk Director Guo out and keep inquiring about more relative information from him along the way. After all, it would be best if they could get more information.

Lin Changting, who was getting calm gradually, asked thoughtfully, “Changhe, the one who is coming surely has bad intentions. Tell me what we should do.” Based on what they had done to Qin Sheng previously and his attitude today, he might not let them go easily.

Lin Changhe replied discreetly and cautiously, “Though the two connection lines from the provincial public security bureau and the Municipal Party committee are not simple at all, it doesn’t necessarily mean that our family can’t handle them. However, I am afraid that a more influential figure is behind the scenes.”

When it came to how to deal with many things of the Lin Family, it was usually Lin Changhe who was the mastermind and Lin Changting who was the final decision-maker. Consequently, Lin Changting added, “So what do you think?”

Lin Changhe replied meaningfully, “Brother, in my opinion, since Lin Songhao is already feeling desperate, we can let him try Qin Sheng out first and see how he ends up. If Lin Songhao wins, we can kick Qin Sheng when he is down. However, if Lin Songhao loses, we can contact the Yan Family, Qu Family, and Third Master Wu. After all, Qin Sheng has too many enemies.” Even though Lin Changhe had said so, he did not want to see the situation end up that way. That was because he thought that Qin Sheng was an amazing young man. However, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of the Lin Family.

After Lin Changting heard Lin Changhe’s suggestion, his eyes lit up instantly. He sneered and said, “Changhe, as expected, I am not as good as you.”
