After hanging up the phone, Sun Li glanced at Jiang Xinxin and the others with a complicated expression.
He sighed and said, "Leader Ma said he doesn't mean to betray us! It's just that this matter is too big, and someone has to be the scapegoat. This time, he chose the Lu family!"
The three exchanged a glance and simultaneously frowned.
After all, the four major families were closely connected, and now that one of them has been eliminated, it's inevitable that they feel a sense of shared sorrow.
Moreover, this man surnamed Ma is untrustworthy. Who knows if he will treat them in the same way again?
"Damn it! Is he really an official? His behavior is more like that of a bandit than a bandit!" Hu Hongtao couldn't help but complain.
Zhang Wanghai remained silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "Cooperating with this person is like asking a tiger for its skin. In his eyes, there is only his own benefit, so we cannot completely trust him!"
Sun Li nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, this Ma fellow's way of doing things is indeed unpredictable. However, Zhang family head, you are right about one thing: he only cares about his own interests. Now that the Lu family has taken the blame for us, this storm has passed! As long as we act carefully in the future and do not touch his interests, our three families can rest easy!"
Jiang Xinxin nodded in agreement, saying, "Everyone has weaknesses. As long as he still cares about power and money, there's nothing to be afraid of. Don't forget, we still have leverage over him!"
Jiang Xinxin patted her phone, a cold smile on her face.
They had already filmed the entire process of Ma Jianguo accepting bribes from Sun Li, which could definitely be a trump card in a critical moment!
However, the other party is, after all, a high-ranking official, and they don't want to fight to the death unless absolutely necessary!
"By the way, the Lu family is gone, but the evidence is still there. We must find that USB ledger as soon as possible, otherwise things might get complicated!" Hu Hongtao suddenly said, remembering something.
Zhang Wanghai suddenly waved his hand and said with a smile, "There's no need to worry about this matter. I sent an expert to investigate it before, and we've already made some progress. It's said that after Huang Ziming got the USB drive, he sent a package. As long as we find out who the package was sent to, we can get the evidence back immediately!"
Hearing him say that, the three of them lit up!
This is their only concern right now. As long as they destroy this USB drive, no matter how the police investigate, they won't be able to find any clues!
Once the evidence is destroyed, they can rest easy!
...
At this time, the city hospital.
In a luxurious hospital room.
Lan Ling, who had been unconscious all night, slowly regained consciousness.
She looked around blankly, then slowly sat up, trying to get out of bed. But just as she was about to stand up, everything went black and she was about to collapse.
Just then, a large hand caught her in time.
"Brother Lin..."
Lan Ling snapped out of her daze, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she let go of Lin Yu's hand somewhat embarrassedly.
"You've only just recovered a bit, so get up slowly, or you'll easily feel dizzy!" Lin Yu shook his head and asked with concern, "Is your headache any better?"
Lan Ling blushed and nodded, "Brother Lin, I'm much better now! I'm sorry to have worried you!"
Lin Yu smiled slightly, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh right, that wretched cousin of yours has been locked up in the police station. Based on that bottle yesterday, it's no problem for him to be convicted of serious assault!"
Lan Ling was slightly taken aback, sighed, and said, "Forget it, Brother Lin, let him go!"
"Release them?" Lin Yu frowned, expressing his confusion.
Lan Ling pursed her lips and said, "No matter what, he is my cousin. We're family, and we see each other all the time. Besides, Grandpa hasn't fully recovered yet. If he finds out that his only grandson has been sentenced, his condition will probably worsen. Then I'll become a sinner to the Lan family!"
"And I believe that after this incident, Lan Qi should have learned his lesson and will never dare to do such outrageous things again!" Lan Ling looked at Lin Yu with a pleading expression.
Lin Yu was slightly surprised.
His previous experience with Zhao Chen made him think that this girl was someone who dared to love and hate, but he never expected her to be so kind to her family.
But then I thought about it again, everyone has weaknesses, and this girl values family ties more.
Thinking this through, he nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, since you've made your decision, I respect your choice!"
"However, I still have to remind you that your cousin is not a good person. Even if you forgive him this time, he may not appreciate it. If he gets the chance in the future, he will probably still harm you!" Lin Yu earnestly reminded him.
Lan Ling nodded, "I understand, Brother Lin. I'll be more careful in the future!"
Seeing her say that, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, took out his phone and called Ma Jianguo, asking him to release the person.
After hanging up the phone, he saw Lan Ling staring at him blankly, her eyes shimmering.
Lin Yu was a little embarrassed. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Lan Ling blushed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Brother Lin saved me again, and I don't know how to repay you!"
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly. "How about I repay you with my body?"
Lan Ling blushed even more, glared at him, and said reproachfully, "Don't you already have a wife? What, do you have other ideas?"
Lin Yu quickly waved his hand, "No! Don't talk nonsense. My wife is a jealous woman. If she misunderstands anything, I'll be kneeling on a washboard when I get home!"
Lan Ling looked stunned.
Who would have thought that the dignified young marshal would be so afraid of his wife?
However, she also genuinely envied the young marshal's wife, who was able to receive the young marshal's complete love! This was something so many women dreamed of; she must have saved the galaxy in her past life!
"Daughter! Daughter!"
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
A tall figure ran in from outside.
It was none other than Lan Ling's father, Lan Yingquan!
Lan Yingquan rushed over as soon as he received news of his daughter's injury.
Upon seeing Lin Yu, he was slightly taken aback. "Dr. Lin, you're here too!"
"daughter!"
Seeing his daughter lying on the bed, he rushed over, "Oh dear, my precious daughter, who hurt your head like this? I'll go knock their head off right now!"
Lan Ling pursed her lips and recounted what had happened.
Lan Yingquan was so angry that he trembled all over. "That bastard Lan Qi, he even betrayed his own sister. I'll kill him when I get back!"
After a long while, Lan Yingquan finally calmed down. He then looked at Lin Yu with gratitude and said, "Son-in-law, I owe you a great debt of gratitude this time. You are my great benefactor!"
son in law?
Lin Yu and Lan Ling were both dumbfounded upon hearing this title.
