"Young Marshal Lin?"

Everyone looked on in surprise.

Although Lin Yu rarely makes public appearances, the media has some records of him. Someone recognized him on the spot, and he was indeed the young marshal!

Zhang Tianlai and Xu Dong were also terrified, sweating profusely. When did the young marshal arrive in Harbin? How come they didn't know?

Zhang Tianlai hurriedly ran down from the stage and came to Lin Yu, saying respectfully, "This humble official was unaware of the young marshal's arrival and has failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!"

Although the young marshal was not a high-ranking government official, the entire Northeast was ruled by the Lin family, and even as the mayor, he had to show sufficient respect to the powerful figures in charge.

Lin Yu showed no respect for him and immediately waved his hand, ordering Wang Xiaoqin to have Zhang Tianlai and Xu Dong handcuffed.

Zhang Tianlai looked puzzled. "Young Marshal, what are you doing?"

Lin Yu sneered, "Don't you know what you've done? You've done so many bad things and embezzled so much money, yet you've made Zhao Guangcai and Wang Renfeng take the blame for you. You really have some clever methods!"

Zhang Tianlai was slightly taken aback, and quickly said, "Young Marshal, you can't wrong an innocent person! I'm completely innocent, I didn't do anything..."

"Didn't you do it?" Lin Yu sneered, pulling out a ledger. "This is a ledger your secretary secretly kept. Every single embezzled sum of yours is recorded in it. Do you want me to check it against you one by one?"

"Accounts, ledgers?" Zhang Tianlai looked surprised and suddenly turned to the secretary beside him.

The secretary immediately looked embarrassed. "Mayor Zhang, please don't blame me. I... I have elderly parents and young children to support..."

"You bastard, how dare you betray me?" Zhang Tianlai gritted his teeth in anger. He never expected that his trusted confidant would stab him in the back.

The key question is, if the skin is gone, where will the hair attach? If something happens to me, do you think you'll be alright?

The secretary, with a mournful face, said, "Mayor Zhang, admit defeat. They have guns; how could I dare to play any tricks? If I don't confess, the young marshal will have his entire family executed!"

"You believe that? He's the young marshal, but that doesn't mean he can kill innocent people indiscriminately!" Zhang Shi looked coldly at Lin Yu. "Young Marshal Lin, even if you are the young marshal and control the military, you don't have the right to interfere with the work of our government, do you? With so many media present today, aren't you afraid of what the world will say about what you're doing?"

Snap!

Lin Yu slapped Zhang Tianlai across the face, nearly knocking him to the ground.

"Threatening me? In the entire Northeast, no one can teach me, Lin Yu, how to do things!"

Everyone was stunned.

Who would have thought that Young Marshal Lin would slap the city's leader in public?

If it were in private, it wouldn't matter, but this is a public place, in front of many media outlets. Even if you are the young marshal, you shouldn't be so arrogant, right? If this matter blows up and reaches Yandu, you might even lose your position as the heir apparent!

Zhang Tianlai spat angrily, "I'm giving you face by calling you Young Marshal, and you really think you're something special? You're just a second-generation valve manufacturer, do you think you can do whatever you want?"

“Let me tell you, the cases of Zhao Guangcai and Wang Renfeng were personally investigated and tried by Team Leader Xu of the Yandu Inspection Team. I am merely announcing them on their behalf. By doing this, you are challenging the inspection team and Team Leader Xu!” Zhang Tianlai shouted.

"You mean Xu Liang?" Lin Yu sneered disdainfully. He had already received news that Xu Liang was coming to inspect. He didn't take Xu Liang seriously at all, just a scion of a noble family.

Da da da!

Just then, footsteps approached, and a man in an inspection uniform with three stripes on his shoulders walked over from the reception room.

It was Xu Liang, the leader of the inspection team!

"Team Leader Xu, please help us! Young Marshal Lin Yu is acting recklessly, you must uphold justice for us!" Xu Dong said loudly on purpose.

Everyone was surprised to find that this handsome man was Team Leader Xu, who was indeed young and promising.

The inspection team, as everyone knows, is a department directly under the Yandu government, representing the power of the cabinet. When they come to the local area, they can investigate anyone from low-level village officials to high-ranking local officials, and even powerful figures. They have a lot of power!

Therefore, even ordinary children of officials or military personnel have to take a detour when they see the inspection team, and keep a low profile as much as possible.

"Young Marshal Lin, beating up a local official in public is a bit too arrogant!" Xu Liang looked at Lin Yu coldly, a hint of superiority in his eyes.

It wasn't just because of his status as an inspector, but also because he was a young master from a noble family!

In front of a second-generation local valve manufacturer, this sense of superiority arises spontaneously.

Lin Yu's gaze swept over without showing any weakness. "Team Leader Xu just arrived yesterday, and he's already produced results. That's a bit too fast!"

These words were clearly a veiled criticism of Xu Liang, accusing him of abusing his power for personal gain and colluding with Zhang Tianlai and Xu Dong!

Xu Liang didn't seem to care at all, and said indifferently, "Our inspection team has always been very efficient, otherwise why would it be called an inspection? However, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Young Marshal Lin, does it?"

Lin Yu shook the ledger in his hand. "While you were inspecting, I also checked. According to the evidence in the ledger, Zhao Guangcai and Wang Renfeng were just scapegoats. The people who should really be punished are Zhang Tianlai and Xu Dong!"

"Nonsense!" Zhang Tianlai shouted shrilly. "Lin Yu, you brat, I am a local official, after all. You want to convict me based on a mere fabricated account book? Are you insane? Team Leader Xu, you must investigate this thoroughly!"

"Heh, you think I wouldn't come here to cause trouble if I hadn't found enough evidence?"

Lin Yu sneered and clapped his hands.

Immediately, a group of secret agents came in from outside carrying large boxes.

The box was opened, and with a whoosh, it almost blinded everyone. It was filled with gleaming gold, bundles of red banknotes, and also valuable watches, calligraphy, and paintings.
