Chapter 129: This Is All True!
“I heard you sent Lin Yiyi to investigate this matter,” Leng Tianyi said softly to Lin Yousheng on the other side.
Lin Yousheng nodded.
“Our Four Great Families have always stood together through thick and thin. On this issue, I have never wavered.”
“If you’re determined to go after the Qin Group this time, of course I’ll offer you some support.”
“If this kid is really hiding something from us, then he must pay the price.”
Lin Yousheng spoke calmly, his tone steady.
Leng Tianyi smiled with satisfaction. He had worried that the old guards of the Four Great Families wouldn’t cooperate, but now it seemed there was hope.
As long as they could make some concessions, everything could be resolved smoothly.
“This is good. With all of them working together, they’ll definitely expose this kid’s true nature. Once Lin Li’s real face is revealed online, we can clear the dirt off ourselves.”
Recently, the Four Great Families had been mocked by many, but they had no solid evidence to refute the accusations. Their hope lay in finding Lin Li’s flaws.
And now, the one taking action was Lin Yiyi.
Leng Tianyi was well aware of the Lin family’s eldest daughter and knew she was the perfect candidate for this task.
Lin Yousheng smiled: “That girl loves investigating these kinds of things. Let her handle it this time—maybe she’ll uncover more secrets Lin Li has been hiding.”
...
They had expected Lin Li to divulge all the information soon, but at the critical moment, he suddenly fell silent.
It was easy to imagine how anxious Lin Yiyi and Xu Miaoling must be.
Under Lin Yiyi’s urging, Xu Miaoling produced a pill.
“Once he takes this pill, he’ll only tell the truth,” she said, placing it into Lin Li’s mouth.
Sure enough, Lin Li immediately became much clearer-headed.
His whole demeanor sharpened.
Xu Miaoling would never have given Lin Li such a pill unless it was absolutely necessary.
The pill was made from extremely complex ingredients, and using it on Lin Li felt like a waste.
But to get to the bottom of the Four Great Families’ affairs, she had no choice but to make this sacrifice.
In this state, Lin Li couldn’t resist their questions.
As Lin Li regained clarity, Lin Yiyi and the others leaned in, nearly shoving the recorder into his mouth.
“Why did you sign such a contract with Wang Qisheng?”
“Were you thinking that if others didn’t agree to your terms, you’d just abandon this investment, turning all the common people into pawns to leverage against those in charge?”
Lin Yiyi slammed the table, her voice cold.
But Lin Li showed no emotion, responding calmly.
“I did all this to guard against those with ill intentions.”
“The investment in the Tianxin District project is huge and time-consuming, making it a huge risk for the Qin Group.”
“If we lay the groundwork early but someone else steals the fruits of victory, it would be a massive blow to the Qin Group and utterly irresponsible to the people.”
The reporter Wang sneered.
Typical businessman logic—dragging the common folk into it.
“If others snatch the project, it’s because their methods and abilities are superior. They manage their resources more efficiently during investment.”
“If you can’t do that, you naturally get phased out. After all, this world is survival of the fittest.”
Wang said this, only for Lin Li to counter immediately.
“If they’re so capable, why don’t they invest in Tianxin District first?”
This question left Wang momentarily speechless.
Lin Li continued, “Because all the work done in Tianxin so far is basic infrastructure and doesn’t affect their later use of the land.”
“So, once we finish all the groundwork, they can swoop in and take the project, but they won’t develop it as a residential area for the original residents.”
“They plan to turn it into a large entertainment complex. I have solid intel that Ye Aotian is behind this—he even joined forces with the Four Great Families to wrest the Tianxin project from me.”
“How many people will be displaced because of this? These ordinary folks bought homes in Tianxin, expecting a certain future. Is this the outcome they prepared for? After a lifetime of hard work and savings, is this how they’re treated?”
Lin Li fired these questions one after another, leaving Xu Miaoling and Lin Yiyi dumbfounded.
They had thought Lin Li was a truly wicked man.
But unexpectedly, he spoke with such selflessness and justice.
From Lin Li’s perspective, what he was doing now was indeed right.
“This can’t be. You’re usually not a bad person. How could you do such a thing?” Xu Miaoling denied outright.
According to Ye Aotian’s accusations, Lin Li was despicable, guilty of countless crimes that angered both gods and men.
The entire city wanted him dead.
How could such a person genuinely care for the people?
“What kind of person I am — can it only be proven by words?”
“To judge a person’s character, don’t listen to what they say; look at what they do. Such a simple truth—do I need to teach you?”
When Lin Li said this, Xu Miaoling finally fell completely silent.
Though still struggling to accept the truth, Lin Yiyi asked seriously, “Is that pill really that miraculous? He’s telling the truth?”
Though reluctant, Xu Miaoling nodded.
“It’s a special pill I made. Even trained agents couldn’t resist its effects.”
“Don’t worry, after this is over, he’ll forget everything that happened here,” Xu Miaoling said softly.
Hearing this, Lin Yiyi’s feelings were complicated—who would have thought Lin Li had such a character?
It seemed they had truly misjudged him before.
