Gao Lingyue, the political fraudster, was stunned at this time.

He couldn't believe that Li Lin's attitude changed so quickly. They were clearly having a good chat just now, so why did he turn hostile as soon as Zhao Chengyi's matter was mentioned?

What is the grudge between Zhao Chengyi and Li Lin?

Why would Li Lin be willing to offend a high-ranking official in the capital and kill Zhao Chengyi?

Gao Lingyue's face instantly turned gloomy. He felt that his face was ruthlessly trampled upon by Li Lin. If he did not fight back appropriately, wouldn't he be looked down upon by Long Gang and others present?

Suddenly, he stood up and slammed the table, shaking the wine glass...

He pointed at Li Lin and shouted, "Li Lin, how dare you talk to me? After all, I am from Yanjing. Even your municipal party secretary doesn't dare to talk to me like this! Don't you want to get involved in this?"

Li Lin spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "Whether I can make it is not up to you, Director Gao, to decide. If you just want me to drink with you tonight to get to know each other, that's fine! I, Li Lin, am not an unkind person, but if you have other purposes, then I'll forgive you for offending me!"

"You...!" Gao Lingyue pointed at Li Lin with trembling fingers... He opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute.

He knew that his purpose of inviting Li Lin to dinner tonight was not simple. He just wanted to explain Zhao Chengyi's problem to Wan Zhenting and Long Gang in person... so that he could use Wan Zhenting and Long Gang's influence in the Pingyang officialdom to force Li Lin to finally compromise.

But now it seems that Li Lin is very tough. Not only did he not give face to himself, but he also did not give any face to Wan Zhenting Longgang who was present...

Gao Lingyue looked at Wan Zhenting with anger, and then looked at Long Gang for help, wanting them to stand up and speak for him.

After being beaten by Pei Yulin, how could Wan Zhenting dare to speak for Gao Lingyue on his own initiative? He first ignored Gao Lingyue's request, and then looked at Long Gang with his eyes, hoping to get a hint from Long Gang before deciding what to do next.

There is no way... Gao Lingyue has some friendship with Pei Yulin and is also the leader of the headquarters. If Long Gang does not express any opinion at this time, it would be unreasonable!

So, Long Gang slowly stood up and advised, "Director Gao, don't be angry, sit down first..."

When Gao Lingyue saw Long Gang standing up, he seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw and said aggrievedly, "Director Long, you see, the cadres in Pingyang are going too far!"

Long Gang pretended to be angry, looked at Li Lin, and said, "County Magistrate Li, how can you treat the leader from Yanjing like this? Please put yourself in the right position!"

With Long Gang's support, Gao Lingyue instantly gained confidence. He raised his head and looked at Li Lin provocatively, as if to say, "You are so awesome. Why don't you try to refute me in front of Director Long? I can't control you from Yanjing, but I don't believe that your leaders in Hanjiang can't control you!"

Although Long Gang's rank was not as high as Li Lin's, provincial officials were automatically half a level higher than local officials, so Gao Lingyue believed that Long Gang could control Li Lin.

Long Gang acted very well, pretending to be unfamiliar with Li Lin, and criticized Li Lin's behavior from Gao Lingyue's perspective...

Of course, this was also something Long Gang had discussed with Li Lin in advance. In order to let Li Lin give him a chance to show off in front of the leaders of Yanjing, he bet a month's salary and promised to treat Li Lin to a seafood dinner!

Looking at Long Gang's serious expression, Li Lin couldn't help laughing in his heart, but in order not to be exposed, he suppressed his laughter and said to Long Gang with a serious face, "Director Long, I respect you very much, but I don't think there is anything wrong with what I said just now. Sticking to the bottom line of the law, isn't this the most basic ethics of the public security department? As a special commissioner of the provincial department, I should stick to this bottom line! ... If there is any offense tonight, please forgive me, Director Long and other leaders! I'll take my leave first!"

After saying that, Li Lin turned around and left. If he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and laugh out loud.

Long Gang pointed at Li Lin's back and hesitated for a long time without saying a word. This didn't seem to match the agreed script? Wasn't it agreed that he would point at Li Lin's nose and criticize him for two minutes? Only thirty seconds had passed...

Seeing that Li Lin didn't even listen to Long Gang's words, Gao Lingyue said angrily, "Li Lin! Don't be so arrogant! Although I'm far away in Yanjing, I have plenty of ways to deal with you! You're just a small county-level cadre, don't be so self-righteous! In my eyes, you're just a little bit bigger than an ant... Humph..."

Listening to Gao Lingyue's nonsense, Li Lin ignored him. Yes! I am not a high-ranking official, but I will not let Zhao Chengyi go. What can you do to me?

Long Gang said at this time, "Director Gao, I think Li Lin is scared, otherwise he wouldn't have left in a hurry... Don't be angry, I'll go out and take a look, I will definitely criticize this ungrateful guy for you..."

Hearing this, Gao Lingyue looked at Long Gang with gratitude, nodded and said, "Good brother! I knew you would have to stand up for me at the critical moment! This Li Lin is really too unreasonable, you must give him a good scolding for me and let him know the difference between the big and small kings! Thank you..."

"Of course, I won't be polite to him!"

As he spoke, Long Gang had already left his seat and followed Li Lin out of the box.

When they reached the corridor, Long Gang caught up with Li Lin, took his arm, and they turned into an empty private room. After closing the door, they looked at each other for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

Long Gang laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He said, "Brother Lin, how is my acting? Do I look like a big boss? Are you intimidated by me?"

Li Lin laughed and said, "Really? It's not in vain that I've been following Director Wu for so long. I can now see some of his characteristics! Hahahaha, this Gao Lingyue must be very grateful to you, right?"

Long Gang pinched his thigh to hold back his laughter, lest his laughter be heard outside the door. He held the wall with one hand and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist. He said, "You didn't see, Director Gao just kept thanking me... If he knew that the two of us were acting in front of him, he would probably be furious! Hahaha..."

Li Lin took a breath and said, "Okay, hurry back and don't let Gao Lingyue get suspicious..."

Long Gang asked, "What about you? Are you going back to the county town tonight? Aren't you going to stay and watch the show?"

The good show he was talking about was catching Gao Lingyue soliciting prostitution... The beautiful front desk supervisor had sent a message to Long Gang saying that at five or six o'clock, a woman dressed in a seductive way entered Gao Lingyue's room and never came out... Long Gang guessed that Gao Lingyue was going to have sex with this woman after drinking...

Li Lin said, "I'm not going back to the county tonight. I'm going to sit at my uncle's company for a while during this free time..."

Li Lin was afraid that Xu Yilong would be angry because he spoke too directly a few days ago, so he wanted to go to him tonight to have a drink and ease the relationship. After all, he is Xu Wen's brother, the future brother-in-law...

Long Gang nodded and said nothing more. He already knew Xu Wen's identity and the existence of Li Lin's brother-in-law Xu Yillong... For a moment, he really envied Li Lin's luck. He could just date a random girlfriend and she turned out to be the daughter of a minister... It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a son of luck.
