Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Ingrained Nature

Zhao Qiang was absolutely livid. He indeed saw that Shen Yuexin had a not-so-shallow relationship with Ye Ling, but just because of this, to sentence him to life imprisonment? That's simply impossible, right?

"You see? Still doesn't know how to repent. This kind of person, it would be best if he could be sentenced to death."

Ye Ling spread his hands, looking quite helpless.

"In your dreams!"

Zhao Qiang bellowed, "Ye Ling, you're just a bastard! I just hit your mother, so what? Got the guts to beat me to death too? Still want a life sentence? Still thinking about sentencing me to death? That's really a joke! Are you the judge or the chairman? You think if you say I should be sentenced to death, I will be sentenced to death? Don't you think you're being a bit too full of yourself?"

Having said that, Zhao Qiang turned to Director Ma and said, "Director Ma, as long as you deal with this scumbag today, when it comes time for development, I will definitely give you a large portion of my demolition compensation! Those four small rooms of mine are not that big, but they can still fetch three or four hundred thousand. I'll give you 200,000, no, 300,000; how does that sound?"

Ma Lin's face changed, cursing inwardly that this son of a bitch still didn't know who would be developing the area, did he?

"Zhao Qiang, you're bribing!" Ma Lin exclaimed angrily.

"Director Ma, I'm not completely ignorant of the things that go on inside the station. 300,000 may not catch your eye, but it's almost all I have," Zhao Qiang said again.

Ma Lin wished he could smash Zhao Qiang to death. It would have been fine if it was just between the two of them, but there were quite a few people here.

And most crucially, Shen Yuexin was still standing there.

Although Ma Lin didn't look at Shen Yuexin, he could clearly feel that the way Shen Yuexin was looking at him was a bit different.

"Shut up!"

Pointing at Zhao Qiang, Ma Lin shouted, "Zhao Qiang is suspected of assaulting someone and intentionally bribing; remember all of these charges!"

Upon hearing this, an officer behind him immediately nodded.

Zhao Qiang was somewhat dumbfounded.

He'd done things like this before and 300,000 wasn't a small sum, right? Why would Director Ma be so furious?

"This gentleman here is called Zhao Qiang, right?" Shen Yuexin suddenly asked.

Ma Lin's forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he nodded, "Um, he's Zhao Qiang."

"Is he the husband of this lady here?" Shen Yuexin asked again.

Ma Lin nodded again, unsure of what Shen Yuexin was thinking.

"Alright."

Shen Yuexin agreed, "Director Ma, I don't care how you do it, but Huamei Group will be developing here, no doubt. However, all the property of Zhao Qiang's family must be transferred to the aunt's name. I would think, you wouldn't want to be labeled as someone who's taken bribes, right?"

Ma Lin was startled and said with a pale face, "General Shen is right, I will handle this matter properly."

He knew full well, even if he hadn't taken a bribe, if Shen Yuexin said he had, he would definitely be in big trouble.

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Qiang also sensed something amiss in Shen Yuexin's words and asked frowning, "The property deeds are all in my name, you think you can just transfer them like that?"

"Yes, if I say it can be transferred, then it can be transferred. Do you believe me?" Shen Yuexin said.

"Hah, who do you think you are?"

"I am me."

Shen Yuexin's authority was unmistakable at that moment.

Indeed, the property deeds were in Zhao Qiang's name and even if they needed to be transferred, Zhao Qiang himself would have to sign.

But for someone of Shen Yuexin's level, dealing with this kind of matter was too easy.

"No need to transfer them."

Just then, Ye Ling suddenly waved his hand and said, "We're not short of money. If we really need to transfer it, transfer it to Director Ma's name then."

"How is this acceptable? I..."

"There's nothing unacceptable about it, but I do have one condition."

"What condition?"

"Zhao Qiang, I never want to see him anywhere ever again."

"That's..."

Ma Lin said with some difficulty, "Mr. Ye, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the thing is... the thing is Zhao Qiang's crimes aren't enough for life imprisonment, let alone the death penalty!"

Ye Ling shook his head without speaking.

Shen Yuexin said, "So doesn't this mean that Director Ma will have to put in extra effort? If Director Ma can do it, Huamei Group will develop here, but if not... then I'll have to seriously reconsider. Perhaps Director Ma is unaware, but the first thing that Huamei Group cares about when developing an area is the local customs."

"This..."

Ma Lin simply didn't know what to do.

It wasn't that he couldn't fabricate some charges against Zhao Qiang, but that would require money, wouldn't it?

However, upon careful consideration, if he handled this matter well and really got Huamei Group to start developing here immediately, his own future would undoubtedly be bright, and by then, wouldn't money be something he could easily grab by the handful?

After much thought, Ma Lin gritted his teeth and said, "First, take Zhao Qiang and Wang Long back into custody, with Zhao Qiang held in solitary confinement!"

Zhao Qiang was completely desperate. His future had been decided in just a few words exchanged between them?

And this was clearly no joke!

"Ye Ling! Ye Ling I was wrong, please, forgive me this one time..."

Zhao Qiang came to his senses and frantically crawled toward Ye Ling while crying and shouting, "Ye Ling, I was wrong before, I swear, from now on I'll treat you and your mom well, I'll turn over a new leaf, just give me one chance, I'm begging you..."

"My mom and I don't need you to worry about us," Ye Ling said indifferently.

Seeing that pleading with Ye Ling was futile, Zhao Qiang turned to beg Wang Shufen, "Shufen, no matter what, we were husband and wife, I know I was wrong before, I know you're kind-hearted, just help me this one time, I really realize my mistake!"

Wang Shufen stepped back a few paces and said expressionlessly, "Zhao Qiang, if my son didn't have his capabilities today, you would still be beating and kicking me every day just like before, wouldn't you? You've disappointed me too much. Our marital affection is over. You brought all this upon yourself."

"Take him away!" Ma Lin ordered sternly.

Immediately, several police officers grabbed Zhao Qiang and dragged him toward the police car.

"Ye Ling, you bastard, and Wang Shufen, you bitch, you'll both get what's coming to you!!!"

Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Zhao Qiang showed his ferocious true colors again.

"I'm telling you, one day I, Zhao Qiang, will get out, and just for these little crimes, there's absolutely no way I'll get life imprisonment or the death penalty!"

"When I get out that day, I'll make sure you two..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, one of the police officers swung a baton at him, knocking Zhao Qiang unconscious on the spot.

"I think he's pretty good for the job, the deputy director position could be his," Ye Ling pointed at the officer and said to Ma Lin.

Ma Lin was taken aback for a moment but then quickly understood, "I see, Wang Long's position is now vacant, and I'll promote him to fill it."

The young police officer clearly overheard the conversation and immediately showed excitement and ecstasy.

Meanwhile, the other envious officers regretted not joining in earlier. If only they'd known, they too would have swung a few batons! If they had managed to kill Zhao Qiang, could it be that they'd be the ones to take over Director Ma's position?
