As the night deepened, the red sedan sped through the woods.
Zhang Caini, gripping the steering wheel, focused intently on the vehicles ahead.
Lin Fan, reeking of alcohol, leaned on the passenger seat, but his hand was constantly on Zhang Caini’s chest, incessantly kneading the fiery fullness.
"Squeak!"
As the sound of brakes rose, the car slowly stopped on the mountain road, and Lin Fan turned his head with a smile, looking at Zhang Caini.
"Sister Cai Ni, can’t resist starting a battle here?"
"I told you, tonight Zhu Defu will use , so you can’t have . I just need to talk to you."
Zhang Caini lowered the car window and lit a cigarette, placing it between her lips: "Let’s just end our relationship here. Zhu Defu is starting to suspect ."
"Suspect you yet still let you drive alone?"
Lin Fan smiled and took the cigarette from her lips, taking a drag himself.
"He doesn’t need to be with every day—once is enough. He just tested with his words, and although I tried hard to control my panic, it’s hard to guarantee I won’t slip up over ti, so I think it’s better to end this before he finds any real evidence. After all, you’re not short of won now; don’t play with fire."
Zhang Caini lit another cigarette and took a puff. "While I was away just now, you must have had a lot to say to Zhu Defu, but rember, Red Flag County is not filled just with opportunities—it’s also fraught with danger. He keeps saying it’s to train you, but he didn’t promise to keep you safe. His so-called life-saving grace does not guarantee his gratitude--if there’s any disturbance, he will likely be the first to restrict you."
"Of course, I know that, promoting so quickly is just to assist him conveniently. Just a while ago, he was testing too by deliberately revealing the secret that I had hidden Chen Jiayi. He speculates based on small facial expressions—it goes without saying that Zhu Defu beca Deputy Mayor because he’s a crafty fox indeed."
Lin Fan flicked off cigarette ash, looking at Zhang Caini: "What about you, then? Why tell all this? You could have just said ’let’s not see each other anymore’ and we would have no further involvent. What you just said doesn’t seem like you’re entirely on his side."
"There are things that belong above board—I’m with him for money, but life isn’t just about satisfying needs with money; sotis respect is needed more. And in that regard, you’ve done far better than he has, which is why I don’t want to watch you walk into death."
Zhang Caini gave a bitter smile: "Don’t worry, I’ve never ntioned the word ’love’. We can’t really talk about feelings between us; it’s just sothing I got used to, which will linger in mory. You’re still young, and I hope you succeed in the future, even if we can’t et again—at least I won’t have to mourn your mory."
"Sister Cai Ni, you’re a good woman."
Lin Fan smiled and turned Zhang Caini’s face towards him, but upon hearing these words, she slapped his hand away.
"You can call flirty, comnd my performance, or even say I’m depraved, but those words ’good woman’ are an insult to ."
"Perhaps, but to , if you’re good to , then you are a good woman in my eyes, and that’s enough."
Lin Fan once again grasped Zhang Caini’s cheeks, speaking, "Our depths are known to each other, our strengths and weaknesses clear; must we avoid ntioning feelings just because we can’t talk about love? Even as bed partners, isn’t that part of friendship too? Don’t worry, I am not so easy to kill; at least I know Zhu Defu wouldn’t dare to strike at easily, as I have Guo Baoming on my side."
"So, you plan to balance between them? This is a big taboo in the world; if both sides let go, you would shatter completely. It might be better to stick firmly to one side, even if it’s entirely leaning towards Guo Baoming—at least you would have a chance to secure your life. After all, many think this way, and their ends are quite tragic."
Zhang Caini frowned; being a fence-sitter is no easy life.
"Besides these three paths, is there a possibility that I could beco a mountain myself, a mountain taller than either of them?"
Lin Fan laughed and flicked his cigarette out of the car window, his gaze sharp as he looked at Zhang Caini.
"Impossible... you’re too young. Even with the greatest of backgrounds, it’s impossible to overrule them. This is politics, not a fantasy novel—there are no cultivation techniques that defy the heavens or allow one to punch above their weight!"
Zhang Caini spoke without hesitation, deeming Lin Fan’s ideas as naive.
"True, I can’t rise above them, but my connections are deeper and longer than theirs—so deep that even I don’t know where they end. So won’t their actions still have to align with my wishes?"
Lin Fan grinned as he pulled Zhang Caini’s body towards him; this statent took Zhang Caini by surprise. She had never thought such maneuvers were possible: "Telling all this, aren’t you afraid I’ll share this with Zhu Defu? Don’t forget, I am his mistress, not yours!"
"What does that matter? You are a good woman and a smart one too. Zhu Defu has only four years left before retirent—what does he have to compete with ?"
Lin Fan’s fingers skillfully parted the pink lace between her thighs, delving inside, and his eyes focused unyieldingly on Zhang Caini’s, that invasive look making her hesitate to resist.
