Chapter 150: Chapter 143: You sure have quite a lot of god-sisters! (Asking for around 10 monthly votes!)
Sun Chuanxuan was startled upon hearing this. Although Xiao Lin had brought in the special police team from the Yanjing Bureau and apprehended all the detectives present, including Chen Yufeng, Sun Chuanxuan had never intended to target the Zhang Family. The power and influence behind the Zhang Family were far from simple. Even though they had the upper hand now, Sun Chuanxuan had no plans to remain in Jiangling after this incident.
Now, with Xiao Lin asking him whether he had evidence against the Zhang Family, Sun Chuanxuan was shocked. Could it be that Xiao Lin intended to uproot the Zhang Family completely? It must be known that the Zhang Family had deep roots in Jiangling; they controlled six members of the Jiangling County Committee, not to mention the shadow of the Yanjing Chen Family behind them. Even if the Yanjing Hua Family wanted to move against the Chen Family, it wouldn’t be easy. There were too many considerations to take into account.
Sun Chuanxuan hesitated; Xiao Lin’s display of strength gave him a glimmer of hope. If only for the reason that even if he left, the roots of the Sun Family were still in Jiangling. It wasn’t realistic to take away all the relatives and friends. And since they had thoroughly offended the Zhang Family, if there were a chance, Sun Chuanxuan would naturally not give it up.
Evidence against the Zhang Family? After being the deputy director of the police station for so many years, how could Sun Chuanxuan not have some? However, with the evidence in his hands alone, while it might topple the Zhang Family, it would require the support of powerful figures to prevent the Zhang Family’s backing, the Chen Family, from retaliating.
"Director Lin also has some evidence against the Zhang Family, but it’s not enough. This matter must be ordered by the Yanjing Municipal Committee; otherwise, no one will dare to act!" Wu Shuang knew well the strong influence of the Jiangling Zhang Family. Having worked in Yanjing for several years, Wu Shuang was very aware of the prominent forces there.
"I do have some evidence against the Zhang Family myself, enough to send all their core members to jail. But the problem is, even with this evidence, who should I show it to? Who would dare to look at it?" Sun Chuanxuan had a slightly reckless demeanor at this point. If the Zhang Family could not be taken down, his days would surely not be easy. The Sun Family had more than just him in Jiangling.
"I just don’t want the Yanjing Municipal Committee to think I’m not giving them face. If I wanted, not a single person in the Zhang Family would escape!" Xiao Lin said lightly. Although his tone was gentle, the weight of his words struck everyone’s hearts, including Xia Xue’s.
Today marked the day Xia Xue truly understood Xiao Lin. His show of dominance and ruthlessness made her heart tremble, but she also felt a blissful happiness. Having such a man in her life was a blessing from the heavens.
Thinking about her grandfather’s birthday in a couple of days, Xia Xue felt a bit excited. She wanted to compare whether the man they chose for her or the one she chose for herself was better. Thinking of this, Xia Xue focused intently on Xiao Lin’s eyes, smiling gently with her eyes narrowed from happiness. The more she looked at Xiao Lin, the more handsome he seemed.
Xiao Lin’s words made Wu Shuang feel slightly indignant. Her family background was, she thought, comparable, if not superior, to the Yanjing Hua Family’s. Despite this, Wu Shuang knew she did not have the authority to handle the situation here; after all, this was not the Wu Family’s territory.
"Can you really get in touch with Secretary Hua?" Wu Shuang countered, looking at Xiao Lin. Although Director Lin had ordered them to follow this young man’s instructions, he hadn’t instructed to uproot the Zhang Family entirely, at most to defuse the current situation, maybe detain Chen Yufeng and those detectives for a few months.
"Director Sun, if you have evidence, bring it out. I guarantee that within twenty-four hours, the Zhang Family will vanish from Jiangling!" Xiao Lin ignored Wu Shuang’s question and looked towards Sun Chuanxuan. In reality, with Xiao Lin’s status and position, even without considering his influential backing, he had the power to deliver a destructive blow to a mafia-like family syndicate. However, to maintain the reputation of the Yanjing Municipal Committee and the municipal government, and not to make Hua Muyun look bad, he required a legitimate pretext.
"If you can get the Yanjing Municipal Committee to issue that order, I’ll provide what you need!" Sun Chuanxuan decided to take the plunge upon hearing Xiao Lin’s offer. However, he still needed to confirm whether Xiao Lin had the influence to dismantle the Zhang Family, which was not an easy target.
"No problem!" Xiao Lin smiled lightly, then took out his phone and dialed Hua Muyun’s number. This was a private number Hua Muyun carried personally. As soon as the call connected, Hua Muyun’s hearty laughter came through, "Xiao Yi, calling me at this time, are you looking to grab a meal?"
"Uncle Hua, there’s a situation here, and someone wants to report something to you!" Xiao Lin said lightly.
Hearing Xiao Lin’s unusually serious tone, and a request to introduce someone to him, Hua Muyun’s voice immediately turned serious: "Hmm!"
Then, Xiao Lin handed the phone to Sun Chuanxuan and said, "Secretary Hua of the Yanjing Municipal Committee, you can report the situation to him!"
At this point, not only Sun Chuanxuan and those team leaders, but even Xia Xue and Wu Shuang found it unbelievable. What was Xiao Lin’s true background? Judging by his tone, he seemed quite close with Secretary Hua of the Yanjing Municipal Committee, speaking as if they were equals. That was the Secretary of the Yanjing Municipal Committee, a member of the central committee, such a high-ranking figure.
Sun Chuanxuan had seen Hua Muyun before, but only from afar during a police commendation meeting, watching from the stage for an hour. He had never spoken to such a high-ranking official on the phone before, and his hand trembled involuntarily.
Taking the phone cautiously, Sun Chuanxuan’s voice trembled almost uncontrollably: "Secretary Hua, I’m Sun Chuanxuan from the Jiangling Police Station, hello! I’d like to report a situation to you!"
Quietly listening to Sun Chuanxuan’s narration, Xiao Lin’s phone occasionally emitted the somewhat furious voice of Hua Muyun. About half an hour later, Sun Chuanxuan finally handed the phone back to Xiao Lin. At this moment, Sun Chuanxuan’s back was almost wet, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Having a half-hour phone conversation with a central committee member was enough to boast about.
"Uncle Sun, what do you think?" Xiao Lin maintained that calm tone, as if on the other end of the line was not a central committee member, but an ordinary friend willing to chat.
"I’m sorry, Xiao Yi, this is the first time I’ve heard of such a heinous event occurring in Jiangling. Whatever actions you take, I will cooperate as much as possible!" Hua Muyun’s voice was a bit low. He hadn’t expected such an event to occur under his governance, with no information reaching the higher-ups. Such an incident, for the perpetrators, even a hundred deaths wouldn’t be enough to compensate.
"I will have Sun Chuanxuan fax Zhang Family’s crime evidence to Lin Zhifang at the Yanjing Bureau. He also has some evidence against the Zhang Family on hand. Shall I send him over to meet you afterward?"
"Alright, no problem!"
Xiao Lin hung up the phone, looked at Sun Chuanxuan, and said, "If you have written evidence, send it to Lin Zhifang at the bureau. You should have his phone number, right?"
"Yes, I do!" Sun Chuanxuan replied hurriedly, not having expected Lin Zhifang to join this venture, feeling even more assured now.
Once everything was arranged, Xiao Lin finally had time to look at Xia Xue and asked, "Xiaoxue, has Niu Niu’s mother been found? Where is she? I’ll take you there!" Considering all these actions, it would take at least three to four hours. Now it’s almost five in the afternoon, and if Lin Zhifang can arrange everything by eight o’clock to deliver a devastating blow to the Zhang Family, it would be quick indeed.
"In Shuikou Town, I hadn’t even reached Jiangling County Town before I ran into this situation!" Xia Xue replied.
"What Niu Niu? Shuikou Town? I know it!" Liang Feng, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. The shock Xiao Lin brought to Liang Feng was immense. The Zhang Family, who once dominated everything, was about to meet its demise with just a few words from Xiao Lin. Why hadn’t I noticed this before? Why didn’t my brother tell me he had such a strong ally?
Liang Feng didn’t know much about her brother Liang Hu’s activities over the years. She only knew that Liang Hu had enlisted and held a decent military rank. Two years ago, when Liang Hu returned, he visited the Zhang Family once but didn’t take any action against them.
"Where do you want to go now? You instigated this; without you, who here could stand against it?" Wu Shuang got anxious upon hearing that Xiao Lin seemed to want to head somewhere.
"Brother Lin, you can’t leave at this time. Let me and Sister Xia Xue go over." Liang Feng spoke up at this moment, "I know Shuikou Town well. Jia Qi is from Shuikou Town, and I’ve been there several times!" Liang Feng couldn’t assist Xiao Lin much here, so upon seeing Xiao Lin planning a trip to Shuikou Town, she volunteered.
Xiao Lin didn’t insist on staying. His presence was indeed required here, while Liang Feng was a local of Jiangling and naturally familiar with the area. Moreover, she possessed considerable martial skills, providing good protection for Xia Xue. Hence, he nodded and said, "Alright, Xiao Feng, I’ll leave it to you!"
At this moment, Xia Xue secretly pinched Xiao Lin’s waist and whispered very softly, "You have quite a few god-sisters!" Her tone was heavily tinged with jealousy.
"It’s not troublesome!" Liang Feng said with a smile, likely the happiest among those present to witness the downfall of the Zhang Family. Her grandfather’s death had always been a knife in Liang Feng’s heart. Although there was no evidence directly linking the Zhang Family, she knew it was definitely the Zhang Family who caused it, possibly even Zhang Teng, the helmsman of the Zhang Family.
Subsequently, Liang Feng and Xia Xue left the traffic police hall, got into Xiao Lin’s QQ car, and drove toward Shuikou Town.
Everything that transpired at the traffic police was already heard by the Zhang Family, even though Xiao Lin strictly prohibited any spread. But the people within the traffic police team weren’t limited, so someone surely leaked the information.
Zhang Family’s main hall, Zhang Teng, upon hearing about the traffic police incident, learned his wife had not only been captured but over thirty trusted criminal investigators sent over had also been apprehended. In a fit of rage, he slammed his hand down on the marble table in front of him, which couldn’t withstand the force and shattered on impact, "Xia Family, so ungrateful, you’ve gone too far!"
