Chapter 60

He had, in a way, tipped off the police, but there was no choice. Having received favors from others, he naturally had to help them out. However, this matter had become too big; after all, it was a society governed by law, and as a deputy director, he could not cover up everything.

The purpose of his phone call to tip off was simple: he hoped that Qiao Antian would get advance notice of the police's movements, gain the upper hand, and with his immense wealth and influence, resolve the matter. He did not want Qiao Antian to get into trouble and expose his bribery, which would implicate him. He would not believe the nonsense about a car going missing.

Of course, there was also the intention of making a final settlement: "I have done all I can. If you get into trouble, don't blame me for not helping."

"What exactly happened?" Qiao Antian was stunned for a moment, unable to understand why Lin Zixian, who seemed to be doing fine, would kill people, and not just one but seven.

This matter had nothing to do with him, and with his wealth and influence, he could easily clear his name. However, such a big incident would be much more complicated if there were eyewitnesses. It was a brazen act of murder in broad daylight!

The impact on all levels and public opinion was terrifying, and no ruler would want to get involved in such a mess. It was no longer a matter that could be resolved with a little money. If he wanted to protect Lin Zixian, it would be impossible without significant sacrifices. He would first need to get Lin Zixian to surrender, then slowly smooth things over with the authorities. Only then might he be able to protect him.

But Lin Zixian was not his biological son, and he had to consider whether it was worth spending an enormous amount of money that he could not afford. So he wanted to inform Lin Zixian to go into hiding, in other words, to run away.

Holding the phone and thinking for a moment, Qiao Antian quickly dialed Lin Zixian's number.

"Hello!" As soon as Lin Zixian's voice came through, Qiao Yun snatched the phone from her father and angrily said, "Lin Zixian, what are you trying to do?"

She couldn't help but be angry. Not only had he brought trouble to the Qiao family, but the BMW car she had bought was used to kill seven people. Especially since the person who did it was Lin Zixian, which she found hard to accept.

Lin Zixian was not in a good mood either. At this moment, he didn't care who she was and coldly said, "Mr. Qiao, speak nicely. I haven't provoked you, have I?"

Hearing his calm voice, Qiao Yun was taken aback and began to doubt whether Lin Zixian had done it. Maybe someone had borrowed his car. Her tone immediately softened, "Someone used my car to kill seven people. Was it you?"

"The news spreads fast," Lin Zixian sneered. "Yes, it was me, but I believe they deserved it."

Hearing this, Qiao Yun was furious and sternly said, "Lin Zixian, do you think you're a judge? Whether someone deserves to die is not for you to decide. The police are coming with a search warrant and an arrest warrant. What do you plan to do?"

"Indeed, you have some skills. The police haven't even arrived, and you already know their movements," Lin Zixian coldly said. "Don't worry! Since I dared to do it, I will take responsibility. I will resolve this matter and won't implicate your family... beep!" He hung up the phone directly.

Qiao Yun, hearing the busy signal, completely lost her composure and said to her father, "Dad! You heard that, right? Look at who you brought into our home... Dad! Find a way to solve this! After all, we invited him here."

Although she was very angry, for some reason, she didn't want to see Lin Zixian get into trouble. At this point, Lin Zixian still seemed calm, which made her both angry and worried. She didn't believe he could resolve such a big issue.

"Let me think!" Qiao Antian frowned deeply.

Xiao Hua, who was nearby, was anxious and asked, "Is it really Xiao Lin? Did Xiao Lin really kill people? That kid seemed pretty decent! How could he do such a foolish thing?"

In the room at Sakura Snow Apartments, Zhang Beibei, who had heard the conversation, was also anxious and blurted out, "Big Brother Lin! Why don't you turn yourself in?"

Lin Zixian rolled his eyes. What a joke! If he turned himself in for killing a few people, he would have to turn himself in so many times. Could he even keep up?

"Immature!" Lin Zixian said, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. When it was answered, he said, "Director Zhang?"

This time, he didn't call him Chief Zhang but used Zhang Zhenxing's internal identity in the National Security Bureau.

"It's me. What's up?" Zhang Zhenxing asked, knowing that this guy wouldn't call him for nothing.

"Today, there was a case where seven people were killed. Have you heard about it?" Lin Zixian thought the other party should know, as the police had already taken action, and Zhang Zhenxing, being in the police force, had no reason not to know.

"I've heard about it, uh..." Zhang Zhenxing paused, suddenly remembering something and exclaimed, "Was it you?"

He was 100% sure. Even if it wasn't him, it must be directly related to him; otherwise, he wouldn't call to talk about it.

"Exactly! It was me. I killed a few people in a fit of anger," Lin Zixian said calmly. "Help me resolve this matter."

"Uh... Big Brother! This is too big! I can't handle it! Can I consult with my superiors first?" Zhang Zhenxing laughed bitterly.

Lin Zixian glanced at the mother and daughter on the bed and the shocked Zhang Beibei. In such a situation, he didn't need to ask for help. He had done what he needed to do and could leave. But now, he didn't want to cause trouble for these three people, so he needed to resolve it.

"In this country, others might not be able to resolve this, but for you, it's not a problem. Help me resolve this matter completely, and I'll owe you a favor," Lin Zixian said, word by word. "This deal won't be a loss for you."

Zhang Zhenxing's expression turned serious. Getting a favor from the "Emperor Caesar" could be invaluable in a critical moment. Normally, he might not make such a decision, but this time, he made it on the spot. "Okay! Don't worry about it. We'll handle it."

It was a decisive statement, and they indeed had the power to do so. In their eyes, once it was tied to "national interests above all," everyone had to step aside. Even the military had to give them some leeway in peacetime, let alone ordinary administrative agencies. At such times, they stood on the moral high ground, and everyone had to follow the big picture.

After hanging up, Lin Zixian shrugged at Zhang Beibei and said, "It's all good now."

"Ah..." Zhang Beibei was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close. Was it really over just like that? She asked, "Big Brother Lin, is it really over?"

Seeing that she still didn't believe him, Lin Zixian didn't need to explain everything to her. Looking at the two sleeping women on the bed, he said calmly, "Some things are beyond your understanding. Just live your life as usual and don't worry about it. As for today's events, just keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone else."

He added in his mind, "Damn! It's over now, but I owe them a favor, and I'll have to pay it back someday."

Zhang Beibei's tense nerves relaxed a bit, but she wasn't stupid. A phone call resolved such a big issue, and she didn't believe Lin Zixian was just a deputy security director of a company. She asked weakly, "Big Brother Lin, who are you really?"

"Hey!" Lin Zixian showed a look of disbelief and laughed bitterly. "Look at me, always doing heroic deeds. What else could I be but a good person?"

Zhang Beibei forced a smile,配合他笑了笑，见他不愿透露，也就不再问了……

在半山别墅的乔家，乔安天正准备打电话找关系帮忙，门外已经是一溜警察开到，一群荷枪实弹的警察，连招呼都不打就闯了进来。

乔家的保镖立刻冲出来挡在前面，但对方是警察，他们也没了脾气，被枪一指，也只能乖乖让路。

为首的刑警队长，大步而来，直接在乔安天面前亮出两张单子，沉声道：“乔先生，这是东海市警察局签发的搜查令和逮捕令，请乔先生配合我的工作。”

乔韵咬唇不语，萧桦脸都吓白了，家里还从来没见过这么大的阵势。乔安天苦笑笑，这个时候他也没办法公然对抗，只能伸了伸手，示意请便。

刑警队长举起手刚要下令，腰间的电话就响了，拿出看了看来电显示，立刻接通道：“王局。”

电话那边传来东海警察局长王森沉稳的声音道：“立刻把所有人撤回来，任务取消。”

“王局，我们已经到了，马上……”

刑警队长的话还没说完，王森已经在电话里喝道：“这是命令，我再重复一遍，立刻把所有人撤回来，任务取消！”

“……是！”刑警队长很不情愿地挂了电话，意味深长地看了乔安天一眼，似乎在说，有钱有势的人果然厉害，事情闹这么大都能没事。转身下令道：“跟我一起滚回去。”有点发脾气的味道。

一群全副武装的警察兴师而来，结果闹了个半途收场，纷纷意兴阑珊地离开了。

乔家三口还在面面相觑，搞不懂上演的是哪一出，乔安天手中的电话又响了起来，一看又是裘仁展打来的。

乔安天接通喂了声，电话里传来裘仁展恭维发笑的声音道：“哎呀！乔董不愧是乔董，我今天算是见识了乔董的能量，乔董厉害啊！这么短的时间内，竟然就能让警察总部下令解决这事。呵呵！以前若是有什么对不住的地方，乔董千万不要往心里去。”

乔安天随口敷衍了几句把他给打发了，他到现在都是稀里糊涂的，但是从裘仁展话中透露的意思可以肯定一点，这事已经有人在高层发挥了作用，是高层直接下令平息的。

The Qiao family, still looking at each other in confusion, didn't understand what had just happened. Qiao Antian's phone rang again; it was Jiu Renzhan calling.

Qiao Antian answered and said, "Hello!" The phone then carried Jiu Renzhan's flattering and laughing voice, "Wow! Mr. Qiao, you are truly remarkable. I have seen your power today. You are amazing! To resolve such a big issue so quickly, even the police headquarters has to follow your orders. Ha ha! If there were any past grievances, please don't take them to heart."

Qiao Antian casually brushed him off with a few words and hung up. He was still confused, but from Jiu Renzhan's words, he could confirm that someone at a high level had intervened and ordered the matter to be resolved.
