Lin Fan instinctively checked the ti; it had only been two hours since Huo Ben had left.
That ant, after getting back, the fellow had headed straight for his tea house without going anywhere else.
This caused Lin Fan’s heart to tighten. "Get Huo Ben on the phone."
"Okay, hold on a mont!"
Zhu Zhixuan replied, and after a while, Huo Ben’s voice ca through the phone.
"County Magistrate Lin, I must say, you’ve done a nice job with this tea house. I’d wanted to visit even before I entered, but unfortunately, the city police had held for a few days. So, when I got back, I headed straight here. The tea is fragrant, and even the proprietress and the waitresses are so beautiful—You sure know how to play."
"Business welcos guests from all directions; if Boss Huo likes it, feel free to co by and have tea at my tea house whenever you’re free. After all, drinking tea is better for keeping health than drinking liquor. Order whatever you want, it’s on ."
Clearly, the other party was threatening him, but with no evidence, Lin Fan couldn’t afford to confront him head-on.
"No need, I’ve been cooped up these past days and it has been quite torturous. So, I need to hurry after having tea. I heard the Cultural Troupe has brought a few beauties; I must go and feast my eyes. But I’ll definitely visit often—for starters, I’ll get a mbership card worth five hundred thousand as a gesture to support you, County Magistrate Lin."
Huo Ben’s combined tactic of grace and nace made Lin Fan frown slightly. It was evident that he not only knew about Lin’s tea house but also that Bai Xue from the Cultural Troupe was his woman; this was his way of telling him he knew everything.
"Then, thank you for your support, Boss Huo. Let Zhixuan pick two good teas to gift you."
Since the other party did not make things explicit, Lin couldn’t just burst their bubble, so he continued making small talk.
"No need, I’m a rough man and more suited to drinking liquor. Keep the good tea in your shop. When you’re back, let’s enjoy it together!"
Huo Ben smirked as he asked, "County Magistrate Lin, I assu you’ve already visited the location I ntioned?"
"I have, and I’ve been enlightened. Thanks to your arrangent, Boss Huo, now I know about such entertaining gas."
Looking at Gao Man, who continued to stir emotions within him, her playfulness was genuinely thrilling.
"In this vast world, there is no shortage of wonders; it’s always good to broaden one’s horizons. Tomorrow morning, County Magistrate Luan’s funeral procession will take place, and Deputy County Magistrate Zhao will also be there to pay his respects. As one of his good friends from before, you’ll surely co to see him off?"
Huo Ben sneered, "Then, let’s talk more when we et."
"No problem, see you tomorrow morning!"
Lin Fan toyed with Gao Man’s ample curves, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. This feeling of being openly attacked was unbearable.
"He bought a mbership card worth five hundred thousand and then left with his people!"
Soon, Zhu Zhixuan’s voice ca through, signaling Huo Ben had indeed contributed five hundred thousand.
"This is a mix of stick and carrot—just to keep in line."
Lin Fan gripped Gao Man’s round buttocks, feeling the persistent friction at the Soul-snatching Cave, but his mood was far from good.
"So, what do we do now?"
Zhu Zhixuan clearly perceived that Huo Ben’s visit had been quite provocative; his subordinates, flanking Da Xiaoshuang, seed ready for a big brawl at any mont.
"He’s just flexing his muscles, not really inclined to start a physical fight; consider it more of a warning. For now, ignore him. Go to the funeral ho and arrange for two wreaths to be sent to County Magistrate Luan’s morial hall. I’ll head there early tomorrow, and you will join ."
Since he couldn’t avoid it, Lin Fan braced himself for the confrontation.
"You’re still planning to co to Red Flag County?"
Zhu Zhixuan asked in surprise.
"At least I need to send County Magistrate Luan off. As for what cos after, we’ll see."
Lin Fan hung up the phone, and at that mont, Gao Man was holding the phone, looking at the latest ssage.
"The ssage says that County Magistrate Luan’s wife and parents are holding a vigil at the funeral ho, but there’s no sign of his children. Their absence at such a ti could an they’ve been kidnapped. County Magistrate Luan’s wife has been quietly sobbing the whole ti, never engaging with anyone."
"So, Huo Ben had his kids kidnapped to force County Magistrate Luan into jumping; this guy is really ruthless."
Sure enough, everything was as Lin Fan had anticipated. "When you caught Huo Ben, you must have investigated his background. Doesn’t he have any direct relatives or anything?"
"No, this guy has been an orphan from a young age, which led him to beco a street ruffian. Later, he started working in a mine and married, but his temper is volatile, and it’s said he often beat his wife, so she ran off with soone else. He’s been a solitary man until now, which makes him extrely dangerous."
As Gao Man relentlessly rubbed her shapely rear against the Iron Pestle, she relayed all the information to Lin Fan.
"A barefoot man is not afraid of a man wearing shoes—this guy is a lunatic, and playing gas with a lunatic is too dangerous."
Lin Fan flipped Gao Man over, pressing her on the seat, hoisting her legs, smooth as jade, onto his shoulders, and then drove fiercely into her inviting form, the Soul-snatching Cave. At this mont, he could only vent all his pent-up emotions into Gao Man’s body.
