Chapter 439 - Who on Earth Was He? (1/2)
It was mystifying how Lin Songhao had achieved his current social status. Was it because he was stupid, self-righteous, or his face had been bunged up that he had chosen to attack Qin Sheng’s group? Since Lin Songhao had been existing in Ningbo for many years, he must have suffered many hardships and the times when he had acted in a low-profile, patient, and flexible manner must be countless. Why did he fail miserably in an easy task this time?
There were three main reasons as follows. First, it was true that Lin Songhao did hold high social status in Ningbo, making the Lin Family succumb to him. The number of the ones who were far more amazing than Lin Songhao in Ningbo was countable. Of course, Lin Songhao knew how he should get along with these influential figures well. Second, Lin Songhao knew Qin Sheng’s background quite well, who had been chased out of Hangzhou by three coordinated parties, making him doubt how powerful Qin Sheng could be now. Even if the three coordinated parties came to Ningbo to pick on Lin Songhao, he might not necessarily give in to them easily. Three, the dignity mattered to Lin Songhao the most. Though he could stand the influential figures stepping on him, never would he allow those inferior to him to trod him underfoot. Moreover, Qin Sheng had beaten him in front of many people, including the brothers of the Lin Family. Although it had taken him great efforts to be confident in front of the members of the Lin Family, Qin Sheng made him feel disgraced in front of the Lin Family members, which he simply could not put up with.
Lin Songhao didn’t do anything wrong, who had done whatever he should do. His fault was that he had encountered Qin Sheng, an unreasonable bug. To be honest, he was destined to be over this time.
It was clear that the reason why Lin Songhao had been able to achieve his current social status was that he had someone powerful and influential behind him. Otherwise, he, who had almost started from scratch, could not have achieved a peak along his career journey. Unfortunately, he came across Qin Sheng. Could the power behind Lin Songhao keep him safe and sound this time while facing the powerful Qin Family? It was clear that the answer was a no.
As the overwhelming pressure from the Qin Family rushed over, the tycoons behind Lin Songhao gave him up without hesitation. After all, they could not deal with the pressure from the Qin Family. Although they had no idea whom Lin Songhao had offended, it did not matter anymore. Compared with the price they needed to pay for protecting Lin Songhao, it was clear that it would be much easier for them to recultivate another agent.
Consequently, after the municipal public security bureau of Ningbo confirmed that it was Lin Songhao who had launched the attack tonight and the tycoons behind him had given him up completely, almost all the policemen of the municipal public security bureau and several suboffices were sent out, rushing directly at the several strongholds of Lin Songhao. After all, when it came to how to deal with the kind of issue like this, the most direct evidence and reason were needed.
Several strongholds under the charge of Lin Songhao were all inspected all of a sudden, including his companies, underground casinos, and entertainment venues, and so on. For a moment, the police siren rang across the whole Ningbo City incessantly. Having put the information about the kind of people like Lin Songhao on record, the policemen knew what Lin Songhao had been engaged in quite well. Consequently, they didn’t need to do the investigation anymore.
Of course, for the policemen, the foremost, as well as the most important thing, was to arrest Lin Songhao and bring him to justice. Otherwise, if someone risked his/her life to give secret information to Lin Songhao, making him run away, the policemen might not be able to explain to many people.
In a villa of Lin Songhao beside Qiandong Lake, Lin Songhao was waiting for the news from his trusted subordinate nervously, thinking that since the time was almost up, those hired roughnecks sent out by him should have dealt with the several members of Qin Sheng’s group easily. After all, the hired roughnecks he had found this time were not easy to deal with. He, who was somewhat anxious, had called his trusted subordinate several times. However, none of the calls was made through. Consequently, Lin Songhao felt more and more anxious.
It was not until a hired roughneck, who had escaped by luck, reported to Lin Songhao about the final result via his big boss’s mobile half an hour later that Lin Songhao knew he had lost once again. Not only was he in a mess but also he had been trapped by Qin Sheng instead.
It did not occur to Lin Songhao that he would make such a great scene. Neither did it occur to him that the policemen of the municipal public security bureau would come to Qin Sheng’s rescue so swiftly. Until now, even a fool would understand what had happened, let alone Lin Songhao. He was somewhat panicked. It was clear that Qin Sheng had been prepared in advance. Consequently, what Lin Songhao had done was walking right into Qin Sheng’s trap. Many people might have been awakened and disturbed at that moment.
As a result, Lin Songhao dared not be hesitant anymore. He called those pivot figures behind him immediately and thought of ways to inquire about the news from the municipal public security bureau at the same time so that he could map out a flawless strategy in case he would be caught completely off guard by Qin Sheng.
However, what happened next made Lin Songhao feel somewhat astounded. None of the tycoons, whom he had shown filial respect for and whom he should have a chance to talk to, picked up his call. As for those ordinary connections, they could do nothing but help Lin Songhao inquire about the news. It seemed that up till now, some outstanding leaders had interfered in the issue between him and Qin Sheng, making others dare not step in.
The more Lin Songhao pondered on it, the more he thought that the situation was not that easy at all. Could it be that he had made light of this Qin Sheng? In Lin Songhao’s opinion, it was impossible. Since the Yan Family had been picking on this Qin Sheng, if he were that capable, he should not have been chased by the Yan Family as if he were a homeless dog.
What the hell was going on? Lin Songhao somewhat could not figure the situation out. All in all, what he knew was that after Qin Sheng had shown up this time, he was no longer who he used to be.
As Lin Songhao waited for the update, four police cars from the municipal public security bureau drove into the high-class villa and housing estate. However, it was not until the four police cars arrived at the ground floor of the building, where Lin Songhao’s villa lay, that the police siren rang off, startling people in the whole housing estate instantly. After all, those living here were either the rich or powerful in Ningbo. However, some did know this building was where Lin Songhao’s villa lay and some others didn’t. However, all the people in this housing estate would know that Lin Songhao had met with a mishap tomorrow.
After Lin Songhao heard the police siren, his face was as white as sheet in an instant. Sweats crept upon all over his forehead, running down like raindrops. Even his back was completely drenched. His whole body could not help trembling.
At this time, Lin Songhao’s wife ran downstairs and asked confusedly, “Honey, why are there so many police cars outside?”
Lin Songhao waved his hands tremblingly and forced himself to calm down as he said, “You go upstairs first and take care of the children. Whatever happens, don’t go downstairs. Remember that if anything happens to me, you should turn to Old Master Qian in Hangzhou.”
Lin Songhao’s wife, who was originally a beauty of noble birth as well as the daughter of an experienced leader, looked quite calm at this moment. Never had she seen Lin Songhao looked like this. However, she did get Lin Songhao’s point and which Old Master he was referring to.
This woman, who was not good-looking yet quite elegant, nodded heavily and said, “Honey, rest assured that I will be by your side as usual.” After that, she turned around and went upstairs without hesitation.
