Chapter 777: Screwed Over by the Little Brat!

He walked into his office.

Li Zhongling vaguely sensed something was wrong. "Speak quickly, what on earth happened?"

The Secretary said hurriedly, "News just came from the Municipal Public Security Bureau; the Dayu police are going to arrest the young master in another jurisdiction."

Li Zhongling's face was full of confusion.

"How did Li Tian get tangled up with the Dayu police?"

The corners of the Secretary's mouth turned bitter. "He arranged for people to break Jiang Anbang's leg!"

Li Zhongling felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt!

For a long while, he couldn't speak...

"Wasn't that something Zhao Hui arranged for people to do?"

The Secretary's heart was also collapsing.

"Could it be that the young master wanted to frame the Zhao Group?"

"That idiot! Always helping by making things worse." Li Zhongling was moved to tears of frustration by his son. "Call Li Tian immediately."

Li Zhongling paced back and forth, urging him constantly.

"Where is that little beast? Haven't you made contact yet?"

"I tried to contact the young master, but his phone is not being answered," the Secretary reported.

Li Zhongling slammed his fist onto the desk in anger.

It was not unusual for Li Tian to often not answer his calls!

"Disaster is imminent, yet he is still living in a drunken stupor; it's truly detestable. You must find him as soon as possible, find his whereabouts before the police do. Tell him to go abroad immediately."

Li Zhongling knew this matter had blown up.

Can a National Cadre be beaten at will?

How foolish!

……

After the Secretary left, Li Zhongling dialed Qiao Lin's phone number.

"Director Qiao, hello, I have a matter I would like to consult you about."

Qiao Lin did not know about this matter and said with a smile, "Boss Li, you are too polite. If there is anything you need me to coordinate, feel free to bring it up."

"I heard that the Zhao Group donated five million to Dayu County, and now I also have the idea to make a donation."

Qiao Lin was somewhat surprised; Li Zhongling was a famously stingy man who would haggle over every cent, so why had he suddenly become so generous?

"This is a great thing." Qiao Lin paused. "I will report this matter to County Magistrate Jiang later."

Li Zhongling sighed. "I ask that you please put in a good word for us with County Magistrate Jiang. Sigh, I hope that in light of our donation, he will be the bigger person and overlook our faults."

Qiao Lin was baffled.

Li Zhongling had always been very overbearing.

Why, today, did he seem like he had taken the wrong medicine, adopting such a low posture?

"Haha, Boss Li, you are too polite.

Everyone has their own position, and it is very normal to have conflicts and disagreements.

Regarding the transfer rights for the City Square, even though you kept the budget very low, you have to consider the profits; I believe County Magistrate Jiang can understand that.

As for the Zhao Group donating five million, you don't need to be too anxious.

County Magistrate Jiang is more inclined toward you!"

Qiao Lin neatly and cleanly gave Li Zhongling a reassurance.

Li Zhongling smiled bitterly and helplessly. "Director Qiao, there is one thing you seem not to know yet, and I only just found out myself. Regarding County Magistrate Jiang's injury, I bear responsibility."

Qiao Lin was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean?"

Li Zhongling wanted to ask Qiao Lin to step in and mediate, so he laid everything out.

"My son had a misunderstanding with Tang Ye, and in a moment of hot-headedness, he arranged for some people to try and warn him.

As it turned out, that very evening, Tang Ye and County Magistrate Jiang happened to be eating together.

And then, well, County Magistrate Jiang was injured..."

Qiao Lin gasped. "Boss Li, did I hear you correctly? You mean to say that County Magistrate Jiang's leg was broken by hired thugs sent by your son, Li Tian?"

The corners of Li Zhongling's mouth twitched.

"Director Qiao, I am also, sigh, I am also slow to realize.

A son's fault is the father's failure; such a serious problem has occurred, and I am speechless with frustration.

Why don't you have County Magistrate Jiang name a figure?

As long as County Magistrate Jiang can vent his anger, no matter how much money it is, I can accept it."

Qiao Lin's brain was completely fried.

The outside world was all spreading rumors that it was the Zhao Group that did this, which was why they brought out five million.

He never expected that the true culprit was actually Li Tian.

As for Jiang Anbang, this injury was truly unjust.

It was completely a case of being an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

The key was that Jiang Anbang's injuries were much more severe than Tang Ye's!

Qiao Lin let out a long sigh.

"This is not a matter of money.

Boss Li, why are you still using that old way of handling problems?

This is a society ruled by law; the law is a red line that cannot be touched!"

At this moment, Qiao Lin's heart was collapsing.

A few days ago, Li Zhongling had arranged for someone to send him a painting.

He took this painting to an auction house in the Provincial Capital and successfully sold it, making a considerable profit.

If Li Zhongling ran into trouble, he would inevitably be dragged down with him.

"Li Tian didn't know he was hitting County Magistrate Jiang either!"

"Is Tang Ye someone who can just be hit?

He is an Exchange Cadre from another province; the Organization Departments of both Huai Province and Shaan Province are paying close attention to him.

Is your son an idiot? To actually want to hit him?

If a homicide case really breaks out, it won't be a crackdown on organized crime; it will be counter-terrorism!"

At this moment, Li Zhongling's aura vanished completely, "I have truly been killed by this brat. We are now grasshoppers on the same rope. You must help me!"

Qiao Lin nearly fainted, thinking to himself, who is a grasshopper on the same rope as you?

Li Zhongling smiled bitterly and threatened, "If you don't help, and my son runs into trouble, I won't be able to keep my mouth shut!"

Qiao Lin's expression turned extremely ugly, and he could only try his best to appease him.

"Old Li, wasn't I just speaking in anger?

We are friends, and friends should do their utmost to help each other in times of crisis and overcome difficulties together.

I will sound out County Magistrate Jiang later; wait for my news."

……

Qiao Lin dialed Xing Zhijun's phone number.

"County Magistrate Xing, this is Qiao Lin."

"Director Qiao, is there something you need?"

Qiao Lin organized his words and asked softly, "I heard there are leads in the case of County Magistrate Jiang being attacked?"

Xing Zhijun nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, the driver has already been caught. That person is the bodyguard of Li Zhongling's son. That dog Li Tian is too bold; he actually dared to lay a vicious hand on County Magistrate Jiang and even tried to frame the Zhao Clan."

Qiao Lin was filled with emotion, "What is County Magistrate Jiang's attitude?"

Xing Zhijun said in a deep voice, "Li Tian acted recklessly and must be severely punished."

Qiao Lin said, "Thank you for your hard work."

……

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Lin headed straight for the hospital.

Inside the ward, Jiang Anbang was wearing black-rimmed glasses and reading a newspaper.

Qiao Lin took the initiative to ask, "County Magistrate Jiang, you're looking well today!"

Jiang Anbang glanced at Qiao Lin, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Qiao Lin said cautiously, "I heard that there have been developments regarding your injury."

Jiang Anbang said, "If I'm not mistaken, Li Zhongling entrusted you to come and plead for mercy, right?"

A look of helplessness appeared at the corners of Qiao Lin's mouth, "Nothing can be hidden from you. Li Zhongling only just found out his son committed a grave error. He is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He promises that as long as you are willing to let go of your anger, you can name any price."

"Oh? Name any price? He is certainly generous!"

Qiao Lin hurriedly said, "The Zhao Clan is donating five million, and Hongling Group certainly won't go lower than this amount."

Jiang Anbang sneered at Qiao Lin.

Suddenly, he picked up the water glass on the bedside table and smashed it hard against the floor!

"Is this a matter of money?

If I bow my head to Hongling Group, where would the credibility of the Government be?

Is there any justice left in this world?"
