Chapter 164: Getting carried away
Lin Zhiqing did not point this out.
But just by looking at her eyes, Lin Congli had already reacted.
He was speechless for a moment.
Because he knew in his heart that Lin Zhiqing was telling the truth.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, so Lin Zhiqing has no time to comfort Lin Congli.
She turned around and walked down the stairs, planning to go back to the Lin family to discuss with Lu Huai and others what to do next.
She had just reached her neighbor's carriage when another one came towards him at a very fast speed.
Lin Zhiqing paused as she was about to get into the carriage. For some reason, she felt a sense of extreme danger.
Lin Congli behind her looked towards the carriage: "This is..."
There was no sign on the carriage, but Lin Zhiqing could already sense who was coming.
"This is Liu Mang's carriage." Lin Zhiqing said slowly.
Faced with the dangerous aura, her body sensed something was wrong faster than she did.
It was a familiar feeling emanating from the brain. Liu Mang had a kind of psychological magnetic field.
After being hypnotized by him many times, that magnetic field remained in Lin Zhiqing's subconscious mind.
That's why Lin Zhiqing felt familiar.
"Liu Mang?" Lin Congli's eyes suddenly became serious, and it was obvious that he wanted to have a good talk with Liu Mang.
Lin Zhiqing saw this and stepped back to make room for the carriage: "Uncle, he's difficult to deal with. You go up first."
"Difficult to deal with?" Lin Congli was puzzled.
Time was urgent, so Lin Zhiqing and others only gave a brief account of the hypnosis array in Liu's mansion on their way back.
My cousins only have a vague understanding of this and probably weren't able to convey it well to my uncle.
Seeing that the driver had parked the carriage steadily in front of Lin Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing's eyes became more serious:
"Uncle, go up first. I'll explain this to you when we get back."
Seeing that Lin Zhiqing was not in good condition, Lin Congli felt nervous and got on the carriage without hesitation.
At the same time, the person in the carriage opposite slowly lifted the curtain.
When their eyes met, a smell of gunpowder filled the air.
What kind of eyes are those?
Two words suddenly appeared in Lin Zhiqing's mind: tolerant and smiling.
These two words have nothing to do with Liu Mang, but they appear on Liu Mang's face, as if he was born with such a pair of smiling eyes.
But Lin Zhiqing knew that was not the case.
Liu Mang was a man of wolfish ambitions. He had clearly hidden all his emotions, portraying himself as a harmless and gentle person.
He is indeed a master.
In addition to his eyes, Liu Mang fully mobilized his facial muscles to keep a very sincere smile on his face.
At first glance, you'd think the person in front of you is very easy to get along with.
While Lin Zhiqing was observing Liu Mang, Liu Mang was also observing Lin Zhiqing.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time the two of them met.
But their thoughts had already collided invisibly.
It was a magnetic field that only the two of them could feel.
Liu Mang recognized her at first sight. The Second Miss Lin in front of him, who looked like she could be blown away by the wind, was the one who entered the mansion last night.
This person not only broke the layers of hypnosis he had carefully arranged, but also took away his most important thing.
But... Liu Mang's gaze fell on the tightly closed door of the Dali Temple, and he breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
It seems that the things in Lin Zhiqing's hand did not convince the people in the Dali Temple.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile appeared on his face that only a very tolerant elder could show:
"Second Miss Lin, some things were lost in my house last night. Have you seen them?"
Lin Zhiqing also smiled. Who wouldn't fake a smile?
"Sir Liu, if anyone in the capital comes to me when they lose something, what's the point of the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court?"
She said this very sharply.
While responding to Liu Mang, he also mocked the government for ignoring the evidence.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple are determined to kill Lin Congyan, so it is useless for Lin Zhiqing to be cautious in his words and actions.
Liu Mang heard the hidden meaning in her words and judged the attitude of the Dali Temple towards Lin Congyan's case.
He knew that the evidence in Lin Zhiqing's hands would not be accepted, and he felt relieved instantly.
This person has a common problem: he gets carried away when he is proud.
Liu Mang curled his lips and revealed an undisguised sarcastic smile:
"I thought Miss Lin Er had gone to great lengths to cause such a scene. How capable was she?"
"It seems that, apart from those petty thefts you engage in behind the scenes, you are no different from any other girl."
He now felt confident that even if Lin Zhiqing had evidence, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, so he spoke without restraint.
Lin Zhiqing curled her lips and said, "So what if I'm just a girl? I still got some interesting things."
"Master Liu, you went to such great lengths to make this trip simply to keep the secret."
"Don't mess with me." Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes slightly. Although the smile on his face did not change, the words he said were very cold:
"Otherwise, I don't know what I might do."
As she spoke, she picked up the envelope in her hand and touched it gently, as if there was something interesting inside.
Liu Mang saw her movements and his eyes narrowed: "Are you threatening me?"
"That's right. So what if I'm threatening you? Do I have to choose a day?" Lin Zhiqing sneered and got on the carriage without looking back.
The fact that Liu Mang harmed his fourth uncle has been exposed, and Lin Zhiqing does not have the time and patience to act with a hypocritical person.
She ignored the gaze outside the carriage that was so noticeable, and after getting in, she told the driver to set off.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
The Lin family's current situation couldn't be any worse. Lin Zhiqing didn't leave any evidence, and the worst that could happen was that he would be implicated by his fourth uncle and the Lin family would be destroyed.
But Liu Mang is different.
He settled down in Shengjing City, and devoted all his energy to studying his connections and psychology.
He also learned a lot of interesting things about court officials through psychology.
Perhaps the imperial court will not take action against Liu Mang just because of the Lin family, but if Lin Zhiqing lets out the evidence against those officials, Liu Mang will definitely have no way to survive.
This is not a fight to the bitter end.
After all, the Lin family's net was already broken beyond repair, but Liu Mang's net was very exquisite.
No matter what, Lin Zhiqing will not suffer any loss.
Since you are not at a disadvantage, there is naturally no reason to feel cowardly.
She can create everyone equally.
Looking at the carriage gradually disappearing from his sight, Liu Mang stood motionless, and a gloomy expression finally appeared on his face.
This was unusual for him, who was used to hiding his emotions.
That expression was fleeting. He stared at the plaque of Dali Temple, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
So what if we get evidence?
The Lin family is destined to be beyond saving.
