Free Web NovelChapter 344: Chapter 280: Lin Lang the Sinner, Come Out and Face Your Punishment
Lin Lang sat calmly in his seat, his hands casually resting on the armrests, his expression extremely composed.
He looked up at Zou Limu, completely ignoring Little Bootlicker and the others!
He asked unhurriedly:
"Elder Zou, what did you call me here for?"
Zou Limu gently coughed, cleared his throat, and cast his gaze at Little Bootlicker and his group, speaking seriously:
"Now that Lin Lang is here, repeat what you just said in front of him."
Little Bootlicker’s heart skipped a beat!
But there was no turning back now!
He could only muster the courage to say:
"Elder Zou, it was Lin Lang who used underhanded methods to deceive us out of our treasure. You must do us justice."
Xina, listening beside them, immediately turned red in anger and retorted:
"Nonsense! You were the ones who wanted to gamble! You agreed to the terms, so how is it now that Lin Lang cheated you? You really know how to twist the truth!"
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing this!
Wang Dahai sneered coldly, saying in a sarcastic tone:
"Instructor Xina, you’re supposed to be with the Special Agent Bureau, yet here you are siding with outsiders? Oh! I almost forgot... you’re Lin Lang’s woman now, naturally, you’d speak for him!"
As soon as these words were spoken! ƒгeewebnovёl.com
A trace of surprise flashed in Zou Limu’s eyes!
However, he quickly calmed down, even showing a hint of excitement, and couldn’t hide a slight smile –
This kid Lin Lang is quite capable!
He managed to win over such an outstanding girl like Xina so quickly!
This is great!
The Special Agent Bureau is now related to Lin Lang through marriage!
...
Hearing Wang Dahai’s words, Xina’s anger only grew more intense!
She shouted loudly:
"These are two different things! I’m talking about the truth, stop slandering with your lies!"
But Wang Dahai continued relentlessly, saying:
"Yes, Lin Lang tricked the treasure from me, then gave it to you, so of course you’d defend him by twisting the truth."
Such shameless words!
Made Xina tremble with anger!
She turned to look at Little Bootlicker, her eyes full of disappointment, and said:
"I never thought you were this kind of person, what a disappointment! I used to consider you a friend, yet you’re making up lies together and slandering Lin Lang!"
Little Bootlicker felt a bit guilty after hearing Xina, lowered his head, but was unwilling to give up, and still stood there gritting his teeth.
Lin Lang, on the other hand, remained as calm as ever, looking at Little Bootlicker, he asked in a gentle tone:
"Why don’t you tell me exactly how I tricked you out of the treasure? You better make it clear."
Little Bootlicker braced himself, stammering:
"Anyway... you just cheated! Everyone present at the time can testify!"
Saying this, pointing to those beside him who came to provide false testimony.
Lin Lang listened, slowly turned his head to look at those people.
His gaze carried an invisible pressure.
Those people, under Lin Lang’s gaze, suddenly felt guilty, avoiding eye contact, and some even quietly lowered their heads.
Lin Lang still remained calm, unhurriedly asked:
"Who suggested the showdown? Who said let’s use this as the wager? Who claimed this was just trash? And who, in the end, lost?"
With each question Lin Lang asked, the atmosphere in the conference room grew heavier!
The invisible pressure seemed to become tangible, weighing heavily on those people, almost suffocating them!
Some even felt their knees go weak, nearly collapsing to the ground!
Although Wang Dahai felt afraid inside, he was still unconvinced –
He believed those people were cowed by Lin Lang, so he glared at them harshly from the side, silently threatening them to keep quiet.
Lin Lang, however, acted as if he didn’t notice Wang Dahai’s actions, calmly picked up the teacup in front of him, gently took a sip, then put it down, and slowly said:
"Telling one lie requires a thousand more to cover it. Are you sure you want to continue down this dark path?"
Finally!
The pressure from Lin Lang was too much for those people to bear, they all lowered their heads, whispering:
"It was Wang Dahai who provoked first, he was the one who suggested the showdown with Lin Lang, and wagered that item, and in the end, he lost to Lin Lang..."
Lin Lang heard this, a faint smile appearing on his face, and he looked at Zou Limu, saying:
"Elder Zou, you see, the truth has come out."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dahai instantly flew into a rage, wanting to argue back, his face flushed as he loudly shouted:
"You’re lying, you must have been bribed by Lin Lang, how could you say that, it was clearly him who cheated..." freēwēbnovel.com
But before he could finish, Zou Limu’s face darkened, he suddenly slapped the table hard, loudly rebuked:
"Enough, I already know what’s going on! Wang Dahai, as deputy captain of the Iron Blood Squad, your behavior is reckless and irresponsible. I’m suspending you from your position for now, go and reflect on your actions for a period of time, and we’ll talk when you’ve realized your mistakes!"
Zou Limu then looked at Little Bootlicker, his eyes full of disappointment, and said:
"You go too, reflect on your deeds, and stop causing trouble."
Then!
Zou Limu turned his gaze to those who provided false testimony, speaking sternly:
"And you all, leave as well, I will make sure to deal with you properly later!"
With these words!
