The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 604: The Tearing Vortex

"Lin Fan, did you receive the news? County Magistrate Luan jumped off a building and committed suicide due to too much work pressure!"

As soon as the call connected, Zhu Defu’s anxious voice came through.

"I also just heard about it, what a pity!"

With that statement, Zhu Defu definitively concluded the matter. Lin Fan squinted his eyes. Zhu Defu couldn’t have been unaware of the conspiracy, especially since he’d been an old criminal detective. It was too obvious, yet this tone implied that the case was closed, and no one could change their testimony.

"Yes, with Lao Luan gone, your responsibilities just got heavier. I need to rush back to the City tonight to prepare for a meeting, to minimize the impact of this event. You should head back too and be ready for orders at any moment."

After finishing his sentence, Zhu Defu hung up the phone directly. This phrase about increased responsibilities also meant he had no intention of protecting Lin Fan, still insisting on sending him to Red Flag County. Indeed, all that talk about favoring him and being the potential son-in-law was false, pushing him toward the Abyss at the critical moment.

"Don’t go back, turn off your phone, just vanish. You can stay here for the time being."

Han Peipei paused and then said, "I’m going to see my sister-in-law now and find my father to try to transfer you directly from the City to the Provincial City. Even finding an office position won’t be an issue, and we can slowly look for opportunities to move up later."

"Are you teaching me how to handle my affairs?"

Lin Fan put out his cigarette and slowly lifted his head, his deep, cold eyes staring straight at Han Peipei.

"I’m trying to save your life!"

The icy look startled Han Peipei, who quickly retorted, "Even though I’m not familiar with the specifics, even the County Magistrate has jumped to his death. It must be terribly complicated. Going back is like sending yourself to death."

"I have my own plans, and while you may occasionally play a part in my life, it’s best not to give me directions!"

Lin Fan said with a smile as he stood up, pinching Han Peipei’s chin, "Alright, I’m off. When I come to the Provincial City next time, just invite me to a simple meal; such lavish meals are a bit too extravagant for a kid who grew up in the countryside."

Lin Fan, after packing some pastries into a bag, waved his hand and walked towards the outside walkway.

"Why can’t you differentiate good from bad words!"

Han Peipei hurriedly tried to follow him, but Liu Lingfei held her back.

"Peipei, let it be. He’s not someone who will walk the path others have laid out for him, so don’t force him to do things he dislikes. He has his own ideas."

"Sister-in-law, but it’s so dangerous. He’s just a guy from the countryside with no background; isn’t he just cannon fodder?"

Han Peipei turned her head anxiously, realizing more than ever that this Deputy County Magistrate position was a conspiracy.

"The officialdom does demand a high pedigree, but haven’t you noticed? He has never felt inferior because he was born in the countryside, especially his demeanor, clearly, he has plans of his own. Just let him be."

Liu Lingfei suddenly revealed a small smile.

"Sister-in-law, didn’t you say you’ve only met him three times? You speak as if you know him so well."

As Liu Lingfei sat on the sofa, Han Peipei immediately took a seat beside her.

"Don’t forget, I studied jewelry design and luxury goods appraisal. When it comes to spotting treasures, my eye power has never mistaken, this guy is a gem, and he will not be any less remarkable than your excellent brother. Just give him some time to display his proud talents."

Liu Lingfei said casually to Han Peipei, "With you wielding the Golden Saber and showing such concern, although I don’t know what happened after you knocked me out, I can be sure that you’ve fallen for him. How bad could a man who won you over in just a few minutes be?"

"Sister-in-law... don’t talk nonsense... How could I possibly... Am I that kind of frivolous woman... I just feel like I owe him... Just giving him a probationary period, that’s all!"

Caught by the words, Han Peipei’s face instantly flushed red. On the boat, her calling Liu Lingfei naïve wasn’t false at all. Liu Lingfei, who was good at feigning weakness, was a genius with two bachelor’s degrees, but her good figure and looks had become her best camouflage, making others see her as a bimbo.

"Let the bullets fly for a while, we can always go see him in a few days. Just by the influence of the Liu Family and Han Family in Red Flag County, I refuse to believe anyone would dare to touch him!"

Liu Lingfei’s eyes twinkled cunningly, and hearing this, Han Peipei’s eyes widened, "Sister-in-law, you’re so clever, I’ll make sure our guards put on a good show to support him, no wonder my brother was so smart to marry you!"

"But I only see him as an elder brother, and he said the same, that I am his sister!"

Thinking of Han Longhu, Liu Lingfei sighed deeply. Having grown up together, he always felt like a true elder brother to her, making this bewildering marriage all the more difficult for her.

"How can a real brother and real sister get married?"
