The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official

Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Only with Chips Can You Sit at the Table "Who could it possibly be that makestoo afraid to welcthem? Now I'm really curious to find out." Zhu Defu squinted his eyes, staring directly at Lin Fan. As an old fox, he naturally understood the underlying meanings in the conversation.

"Then perhaps you should let the person outside bring her in. I'm sure once you meet her in person, Mayor Zhu will understand." Lin Fan smiled at Zhu Defu, completely unaware of what he might be plotting. But since he had said as much, there was no reason to refuse. So, he gave a look to Zhang Caini, who immediately got up and walked out.

When the door to the private room was opened, Lin Fan already caught a glimpse of several people standing outside, all broad-shouldered and stout, clearly not people with good intentions. This made Lin Fan smile knowingly. Indeed, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. Zhu Defu, hailing from the public security and law sectors, truly handled matters in an unconventional manner.

"Mayor Zhu, there's something I've always been unclear about, so I'm curious to ask: How is Ms. Zhu Dan's ex- husband doing?" "He should be well enough. He has a place to live and eat, takes his medication on time, and seems quite happy." Zhu Defu also flashed a smile. His response was somewhat ambiguous, but Lin Fan could basically deduce that since he was said to be alive, and the option of death was ruled out, he must be confined in smental institution. After all, that's something many people love to do since the difference between normal people in such places and being imprisoned is almost negligible.

"Aren't you planning to let him out and settle things once and for all with Ms. Zhu Dan?" "I'm afraid he no longer fits the criteria for divorce. Given the circumstances, handling it as a missing person seems just fine." Zhu Defu looked at Lin Fan with a fleeting chill in his eyes: "If you're truly concerned about him, perhaps you can meet him sday." "Let's forget it. I have nothing in common with him anyway. Besides, if I were to really disappear, Mayor Zhu and Mayor Guo would definitely be the first to suffer, because I'm afraid she won't agree." As the sound of high heels echoed, Lin Fan's gaze fell outside the door. When Zhang Caini pushed the door open again, the sight of Chu Shiyuan made Zhu Defu instinctively stand up, looked at Chu Shiyuan who walked straight to Lin Fan and sat down, wearing a black asymmetrical evening dress, her beautiful face still as cold as ice.

"Captain Chu, when did you arrive?" Zhu Defu displayed a face full of respect, grinning broadly. Yet Chu Shiyuan merely raised her head coldly and said, "I was just invited for a meal, go ahead and sit." "Yes, yes!" With permission, Zhu Defu then respectfully sat down on a chair, while suspiciously looking at Lin Fan beside him.

Logically, the two should be archenemies; after all, Lin Fan personally sent Chu Shiyuan's husband, Wei Pengcheng, to prison, an event that shook the Provincial City. But now, it seems that while their closeness can't be confirmed, at least they weren't at each other's throats.

At the stime, Zhu Defu realized that the smile on Lin Fan's lips at this moment... he wasn't suggesting that Chu Shiyuan stay as a hostage, was he? Even if he had a thousand guts, he wouldn't dare take that deal, given that behind her stood not just the Chu Family but also the Wei Family, either of which were connections he couldn't afford to maintain.

"Mayor Zhu, regarding what we were discussing earlier, you should have a conclusion now, right? Do you still need it?" Lin Fan took a sip of soup and slowly sat upright, his gaze fixed on Zhu Defu.

He deliberately left things unsaid, giving him sface. Otherwise, mentioning "hostage" in front of Chu Shiyuan would completely cut off any chance of connection with the Wei Family.

"No need... no need. Let's drop the matter then." Zhu Defu quickly shook his head. At this moment, he was in need and didn't dare to hesitate. Now, he had to reassess Lin Fan's current status.

Hearing their conversation, Chu Shiyuan looked at Lin Fan inquisitively. That mysterious smile e op his lips suggested that things were not as simple as they appeared. But since he wasn't speaking, there was no need for her to probe further. "This time, I should count it as helping you with a big favor, right? I have a small issue on my end and need your help."

The conversation circled back to the beginning, and Lin Fan finally spoke, "You should also be aware of how terrifying the Dragon Pond and Tiger Gave in Red Flag County is. County Magistrate Luan's death will trigger many ripple effects. So, I urgently need seyes of my own in Red Flag County. Mayor Zhu, could you lend your informant in Red Flag County for a while?" "That's not a problem. I'll have them contact you as soon as possible." In the face of life-and-death stakes, this informant issue was not a big deal. Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, thank you, Mayor Zhu. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

Lin Fan, who had put down his chopsticks, rose directly and headed for the exit. Chu Shiyuan quickly got up and followed At this moment, not on just the formal titles but even requests or permissions had disappeared. Watching Lin Fan's silhouette, Zhu Defu let out a long sigh; the speed of this guy's growth was truly astounding. He hurriedly pulled out his phone and dialed Zhu Dan's number: "Daughter, if you have time, cback in the morning. Your dad is in big trouble!"
