Chapter 1361: Hmph! What bad intentions could Brother Lang possibly have?
Time was passing by, second by second.
Wang Biao was still sitting arrogantly on the sofa in the lobby of the Lin family villa, with his legs crossed and smoking.
Lin Lang, however, couldn't wait to see the show.
Before long, the villa gate was pushed open with a loud bang.
Several uniformed police officers strode in. The lead officer, with sharp eyes, looked directly at Lin Lang and spoke in a deep voice:
"Mr. Lin, we received a report that someone is extorting money from you. Is this true?"
Wang Biao's smug expression froze instantly, his smile solidified, and he was completely stunned. He subconsciously stood up from the sofa, his face turning pale.
Lin Lang, feigning fear, pointed at Wang Biao and spoke in the tone of a victim:
"Officer, this suspect named Wang Biao is trying to extort money from me at my home. He has successfully threatened and intimidated me into giving me 100 million yuan worth of Tencent stock."
Two accompanying police officers quickly stepped forward and took Wang Biao into custody.
"What...what are you doing?!" Wang Biao panicked.
He hurriedly pulled out the gift agreement from his pocket and shouted, his voice trembling with fear:
"I didn't break the law! It was a gift he gave me voluntarily! There's an agreement! It's stamped! It's legal!"
The police officer wasn't buying it at all, stepped forward, and showed his badge:
"Whether it was voluntary or legal is not up to you to decide. Come with us to the police station for investigation."
Wang Biao suddenly turned to look at Lin Lang, only to find that the man in front of him no longer showed any of the humility and submissiveness he had shown just moments before.
Lin Lang had already quietly removed the DV camera hidden in the ceiling to record evidence, and said coldly:
"Officer, I have complete audio and video evidence here. Please take a look."
Wang Biao was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He pointed at Lin Lang and cursed, "Damn you, Lin Lang! You set me up, didn't you?"
Lin Lang's feigned cowardice vanished completely, replaced by the chilling aura he had exuded before. His eyes were as cold as ice, and his tone was utterly devoid of warmth.
"Wang Biao, do you think that signing a gift agreement will absolve you of the fact that you extorted money?"
"You threatened to expose my family's dirty laundry, raising the price step by step, from 30 million to 50 million, and then asking for 100 million in stocks. The whole process of coercing and intimidating me was clearly recorded by a DV camera."
Wang Biao's face turned deathly pale instantly, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself, "It's over! It's over for sure!"
Lin Lang sneered and took a step forward, exuding a sense of oppression. "It was your own greed that led you to send yourself to prison."
"Do you think that getting a gift agreement and having the stocks transferred to your name doesn't constitute extortion?"
On the contrary, the stock transfer has been completed, your extortion attempt has succeeded, and you can expect legal judgment. Your jail food is already prepared.
Upon hearing this, Wang Biao felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his mind was buzzing, and everything went black before his eyes.
He then realized that from the moment he stepped into the Lin family villa, it had all been a setup.
What do you mean by admitting defeat?
What's there to fear about family scandals being exposed?
What's the quick and easy way to sign a gift agreement?
What kind of stock worth hundreds of millions can be transferred immediately?
It was all a trap deliberately set by Lin Lang, just to make him confirm that he had successfully extorted money and send him to prison.
He foolishly thought he had Lin Lang under his control and that he had a hundred million in his hands, but step by step, he completely plunged himself into the abyss.
After briefly verifying the facts of the case, the police officer in charge of the team examined the video evidence on the DV camera. His expression immediately turned serious, and he reported on the spot via walkie-talkie:
"Command Center, an extortion case has occurred in our Pudong Riverside Luxury Villa area. The amount involved is exceptionally large. The victim is Lin Lang, chairman of the Lin Group, a pillar enterprise in Shanghai. The evidence is conclusive, and the suspect has been apprehended. We request that the case be immediately transferred to the Major Crimes Unit of the Criminal Investigation Brigade for handling!"
Wang Biao was completely dumbfounded after hearing this, and pleaded in a tearful voice, "There was a gift agreement, it was his own choice!"
The investigating detective coldly replied, "Whether it's extortion or whether it was voluntary, our criminal investigation team will investigate. We'll talk about it in the interrogation room."
"No—! I don't want it anymore!"
"I don't want the Penguin stock they gave me!"
"The gift agreement is returned to you!"
"I'm leaving!"
"I promise I'll never cause trouble at the Lin family villa again, okay?" Wang Biao asked in a panic, his words becoming incoherent.
Two police officers grabbed his arms, handcuffed him behind his back, and locked the cold metal buckles with a "click".
"It's too late." Lin Lang looked at Wang Biao's disheveled appearance without a trace of pity in his eyes. "From the moment you threatened me and demanded money, you had no way back."
The police escorted Wang Biao, who was trembling and ashen-faced, out of the Lin residence. He struggled, cried, and cursed all the way, his voice hoarse, but no one paid any attention to him anymore.
The arrogant extortionist who was just moments ago has become a prisoner in the blink of an eye.
Lin Lang stood at the doorway of the living room, watching Wang Biao being escorted out of the Lin family villa by the police officers handling the case. The coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only a calm expression.
All of this was within Lin Lang's calculations, exactly as planned.
Having gotten rid of Wang Biao, Chen Nianlin could finally stay peacefully in the Lin family, no longer having to be harassed, threatened, or extorted by this vicious stepfather.
Several figures stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the Lin family villa.
Chen Nianlin nestled beside Mu Xueman, Yang Mi supported her slightly protruding pregnant belly, and Wang Xinling stood to the side. The four of them turned their gazes to the hall downstairs, taking in the end of this farce.
As Wang Biao was handcuffed behind his back by the police and struggled to be escorted out of the villa, finally being shoved into a police car with flashing lights, the tense atmosphere on the second floor finally dissipated as the piercing siren faded into the distance.
Mu Xueman let out a long sigh of relief, reached out and patted Chen Nianlin on the back, her tone full of cathartic satisfaction:
“Nianlin, you see, I told you you didn’t need to be afraid.”
With your brother around, a wicked stepfather like Wang Biao, who tries to blackmail people by taking advantage of past grievances, will definitely be punished.
Yang Mi gently supported her pregnant belly, her fingertips tenderly caressing the fabric, her gaze towards Chen Nianlin filled with concern:
"Don't be afraid, little sister. Your wicked stepfather has been arrested. You no longer need to live in fear of him harassing you again."
Chen Nianlin raised her hand and repeatedly wiped away the tear stains that were still wet at the corners of her eyes. Those tear stains contained the fear and grievances she had accumulated over the past few days.
"My brother is so amazing! Sisters-in-law, you're all so good to me!"
Meeting her sisters-in-law's gazes, Chen Nianlin nodded weakly, and the corners of her mouth, which had been tense for a long time, finally slowly turned up, revealing a relieved smile.
That smile was faint, carrying a hint of relief after timidity, like the first rays of sunlight after the rain, finally piercing through the gloom that had shrouded her heart for days.
Wang Xinling handed over a tissue and softly echoed, "With your older brother and sister-in-law protecting you, you don't have to be afraid of anything in the future. Just stay in the Lin family home and live a peaceful life."
"Hehe... I understand, Sister-in-law Xinling."
Chen Nianlin took the tissue, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and her smile gradually became genuine, with a warm, moist feeling welling up in her eyes.
Yes, with her brother's support and her sisters-in-law's company, the threats from her vicious stepfather that terrified her eventually faded away.
The lingering sound of police sirens downstairs dissipated into the air.
Meanwhile, the warmth on the second floor was gradually spreading, enveloping Chen Nianlin's anxious heart.
Meanwhile, the main door on the first floor of the Lin family villa had been closed, and the hall had returned to silence.
Only Lin Lang, the officer in charge, and a young policeman remained inside.
The officer in charge said, "Mr. Lin, we apologize for disturbing you! You will need to be questioned by our colleagues and have your statement taken. We hope you can cooperate."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, officers. Please have a seat on the sofa. I'm going to the restroom and will be right back to assist you with taking my statement."
"Alright, Mr. Lin, please go ahead."
After arriving at the bathroom on the first floor of the villa, Lin Lang snapped his fingers and summoned a clone to return to the hall to take a statement.
On the system screen in front of him, Zhao Liying's real-time video feed of "View Sharing" popped up.
Zhao Liying, who had already finished showering, was sitting in front of her dressing table in the bedroom, applying light makeup. She had changed into a beautiful red tight-fitting strapless dress.
As she put on her makeup, she pouted and muttered, "Hmph, my stomach is growling with hunger!"
"What a scumbag husband! He said he was going to buy me a breakfast from his hometown, but he hasn't come back yet."
"Could it be that he's been seduced by some vixen again and forgotten about me?"
Upon seeing the video in the "Shared View" window, where Zhao Liying was still waiting for him to have breakfast at home, Lin Lang's body instantly traveled to Zhao Liying's luxurious Shanghai mansion, where she was keeping her as a mistress.
Lin Lang took out the Xianghe meat pie and donkey offal soup that he had previously sent his clone to buy from his personal space, set them on the dining table, and then his phone rang.
Zhao Liying vaguely heard Lin Lang's phone ringing, and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom, excitedly calling out:
"Honey, you're back with breakfast!"
Lin Lang, who was on the phone, walked out of the restaurant, raised his index finger to his lips, and made a "shh" gesture to silence.
When Zhao Liying saw that Lin Lang was on the phone, she quickly shut up and playfully stuck out her tongue at him.
Upon seeing Zhao Liying's adorable tongue-out gesture, Lin Lang reflexively thought of the Green and White Snake Demon sisters.
Holding his phone in his hand, he replied with a calm smile:
"Dayong, you're quite well-informed. How did the news about my blackmail case reach your ears so quickly?"
During the call, Wang Dayong said with concern:
"Brother Lang, you are the chairman of a pillar enterprise in Shanghai. Your case of being blackmailed was reported to the Municipal Bureau immediately."
"I'm currently in a meeting at the Municipal Bureau, so I'll give you a quick call to ask what's going on."
Lin Lang replied, "Da Yong, don't worry, it's nothing serious."
The suspect has been arrested, and the video evidence of the extortion has been handed over to the police. The evidence is conclusive, the facts of the case are clear, and the extorted money is over 100 million yuan. He should be sentenced to at least eight years in prison, if not ten.
“This case is not in your jurisdiction. Even if it were, you would have to avoid any appearance of impropriety, so you should just leave it alone.”
After hearing this, Wang Dayong breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, Brother Lang, it's good that you're alright."
Lin Lang said, "Because the case involves the privacy of our Lin family, in order to avoid causing a bad social impact, you should directly contact the bureau and tell them that it is best to handle this case discreetly and confidentially."
"Okay, Brother Lang, I understand."
"Then that's settled, Da Yong. I have other things to do."
"Okay, then I'll hang up, Brother Lang. We can keep in touch anytime by phone."
Okay, bye-bye.
As soon as Lin Lang hung up the phone, Zhao Liying nestled into his arms like a little bird.
She blinked her bright almond-shaped eyes and asked with curiosity and concern, "What's wrong, honey? What happened?"
