Strongest Counterattack-Chapter 439 - Who on Earth Was He?

Chapter 439 Who on Earth Was He?

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.

After Lin Songhao’s wife went upstairs, the policemen outside broke into the house and did not bother to greet Lin Songhao, whom Lin Songhao’s bodyguards dared not stop at all.

The leading principal policeman, who presented the requisitive documents, said roughly, “Third Master Lin, sorry for disturbing you. You need to go to the police station with us.”

Lin Songhao did not resist at all. Since it was not the first time he had been in the police station, of course, he knew well what would happen to him if he resisted. He would rather think of ways to get out of the police station after he was inside than make a great scene now. Even though he had not been to the police station for ages, he knew this rule quite well.

Many people probably would not expect that Lin Songhao would be arrested in this way. Even so, it was just a beginning. All of Lin Songhao’s connections in Ningbo would fall apart tonight. The policemen in Ningbo were busy launching a comprehensive attack, giving a deadly blow to Lin Songhao.

As the policemen of the municipal public security bureau were occupied dealing with Lin Songhao’s issue, Qin Sheng, who had gone back to the hotel, fell asleep while holding Lin Su in his arms. After all, it was late after midnight at this moment. Qin Sheng did not bother to pay attention to these things. After all, his sister had told him that she would take care of the rest. In that case, even if Qin Sheng intended to interfere in Lin Songhao’s issue, he had no way out.

Early in the morning, all was quiet. As lamps and candles of a myriad of families were turned off, police sirens ran across many places in the downtown area of Ningbo. Those, who had not fallen asleep or who had been awakened, were all wondering whether any big issue had happened. However, soon, the relative news was spread gradually. After all, many properties of Lin Songhao, which had been closed down, were well-known ones in the gray industries, such as the most sumptuous night-club in Ningbo, and so on. The current leaked news startled many people. However, it would not be until tomorrow that people would know the most startling news.

In the morning, in the old house of the Lin Family to the south of Qiandong Lake, Lin Changhe, who had got up the earliest, who was the first one to know this piece of news, which had startled him overwhelmingly. Lin Changhe, who did not even bother to wash his face, ran to the main building in a hurry, and searched for his brother, Lin Changting.

At this time, Lin Changting was not awake yet, who got up pretty late on the usual days. Lin Changhe, who was impatient, ran to the entrance to the main bedroom on the second floor directly and knocked on the door, awakening Lin Changting and his wife.

Lin Changting, who had been awakened by the noise, said somewhat agitatedly, “Who is it? Why did you make such great noise at this ungodly hour?” Never had anyone dared to disturb him from resting in the morning. Lin Changting wondered what had happened today.

Outside the door, Lin Changhe, who was extremely anxious, replied in a hurry, “Brother, it’s me, Changhe. Something big happened. Get up quickly.”

Lin Changting asked somewhat impatiently, “What’s it?”

Lin Changhe replied straightforwardly, “Lin Songhao was arrested.”

“What?” After Lin Changting heard what Lin Changhe had said, he sat up from the bed all of a sudden and said dumbfoundedly, “Changhe, what did you just say? Repeat it.”

Lin Changhe repeated and said, “Brother, Lin Songhao was arrested last night.” This time, he spoke with a louder voice so that Lin Changting could hear him.

Lin Changting was at a loss immediately, sitting on the bed for a long time before he came to his senses…

Ten minutes later, in the study room of Lin Changting, the Lin brothers looked at each other into the eyes and did not know what they should say. For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Lin Changting mumbled to himself, “Is it true that Lin Songhao was arrested?” It was clear that he did not believe what Lin Changhe had said.

It was not until Lin Changhe let out a long sigh that he explained, “It is 100% true. He was arrested in his villa at 1 a.m. last night. Many people saw how he had been arrested in person. At the same time, after midnight last night, all properties under Lin Songhao’s charge, including the entertainment venues, casinos, and so on, were all closed down. Many people got arrested by policemen. His company was also closed down this morning. All the computers along with the information were taken away.”

Lin Changting said somewhat confusedly, “In your opinion, is it he who did so?” If it were Qin Sheng who had got Lin Songhao arrested, it would be simply too horrifying. The power behind Qin Sheng was so horrifying that it could uproot Lin Songhao overnight, who had been rooted in Ningbo for so many years. In that case, it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with the Lin Family.

Although Lin Changhe was unwilling to admit the fact, it seemed that the reality turned out so, which nobody could question. The Lin Family knew this point better than anybody else. After all, they had been observing both parties in the dark. Consequently, he said slowly, “Brother, a vicious and miserable case happened by the side of Yongjiang last night. Although no casualties were reported, dozens of people were injured lightly or badly. Moreover, 20 to 30 people got arrested, who turned out to be all of Lin Songhao’s underlings. On the other hand, Qin Sheng, who was under the protection, was lightly injured. Two bodyguards of the Qu Family were admitted into the hospital because of serious injuries. After this case took place, Lin Songhao got arrested last night and all of his properties were closed down. Brother, in your opinion, who would be the culprit?”

The look on Lin Changting’s face was quite ghastly. He did not doubt who the driving force was anymore, who had thrown Lin Songhao into prison. Consequently, he asked, “Who on earth was he?” The looks in his eyes were both dull and lifeless.
