Chapter 948: Chapter 948: The Plan to Kill Three Birds with One Arrow
"I’m leaving! I’m leaving!"
Seeing the murderous look in Floral Dan’s eyes, Huo Ben repeatedly stepped back.
Don’t underestimate these men who look like women; their abilities are quite extraordinary, which is why Zhao Chuanchun keeps them as his hidden pieces on the board.
Glancing again at Zhao Chuanchun still sitting in the rocking chair, Huo Ben knew this time he was completely abandoned.
As a discarded pawn, survival became his biggest issue, and knowing so many secrets, once abandoned, death was his only path.
So, after leaving the Moon Gate, he touched his neck. Zhao Chuanchun hadn’t killed him directly, probably because today was his mother’s birthday. Once past midnight or upon leaving Zhao Mansion, how long he could survive was truly uncertain.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but clench his fists. He never imagined falling from the peak in just one night, so he hurriedly dialed Qin Yushu’s number. Ever since he met Lin Fan, he hadn’t seen her appear again. Unfortunately, no one answered on the other end of the phone, clearly, she was deliberately avoiding him.
"Damn it, you bitch... what did you promise me before... damn you!"
Huo Ben angrily raised his hand, ready to smash the phone, but ultimately held back. After all, this was his only leverage to survive now. Since he couldn’t find Qin Yushu, he had to dial another number.
"Boss Huo, how did you screw things up so badly!"
Even before Huo Ben could speak, Lucki’s complaint already came through the phone.
He had also attended the banquet and witnessed firsthand how Lin Fan, with just a bowl of plain noodles and a pair of cloth shoes, became the center of attention, making all his painstaking efforts vanish into thin air.
"Mr. Lu, it is true I messed up, but I’ve also lost a lot of people over this... I’m in trouble now, and you need to help me. I don’t want much, just arrange for someone to drive me to the Provincial City."
Leaving Red Flag County was the best option Huo Ben could think of. After all, even if Lin Fan didn’t catch him, Zhao Chuanchun definitely wouldn’t spare him. Therefore, escaping to the Provincial City offered a slim chance of survival, and the only way to leave was naturally via Lucki’s convoy.
"Mr. Lu, you know full well that if something happens to me, you won’t be able to wash your hands of it. Even if we’re not in prison together, you’d still have to roll back to the Provincial City. Helping me is helping yourself too!"
Not giving Lucki the chance to refuse, Huo Ben already threatened him.
Regarding Haozi’s issue, he fell hard, and he would not let Lucki get away unscathed.
"You..."
Lucki never expected to catch all this flak, but even before he could agree, the call suddenly terminated, and Lin Fan’s voice followed.
"Boss Huo, where are you planning to go? Do you need me to drive you?"
"Lin Fan!"
Huo Ben didn’t expect the call to be snatched away, making him both angry and annoyed.
"Boss Huo, shouldn’t you be calling me Vice County Magistrate Lin now? Such a title suits your status better... oh, no, if you end up in prison, shouldn’t you first report?"
Lin Fan, with his arm around Lucki’s shoulder, just like when he used to be bullied and they’d walk to a hidden corner, only turned his head and looked at Lucki’s pale face after hanging up the call.
"Lin Fan... what are you going to do?"
This birthday banquet was hosted by Zhao Chuanchun, and no one could bring bodyguards in.
Lucki stared wide-eyed in terror. From Lin Fan’s seating at the main guest’s table earlier, they clearly were no longer people from the same world.
"What can I do... at most, sleep with your wife!"
Lin Fan, arm around Lucki’s shoulders, smirked coldly and said, "Right, didn’t you always claim to be Li Huizhen’s first love? Then I guess I’m now her husband for her first night!"
"Lin Fan... don’t overdo it... you are a government official..."
Lucki’s eyes were bloodshot, yet he dared not move since the consequences of making the first move were unthinkable.
"What’s wrong with being an official? Sleeping with your wife at most constitutes a lifestyle issue, but you brought in Haozi. You know exactly what your intention was, right? Being involved in attempted murder is a criminal offense, and you’re currently only released on bail, always on the verge of being taken in."
Lin Fan patted Lucki’s shoulder and said, "I heard the inmates inside most enjoy messing with newbies like you. Over the years, besides your wife, you must have been with many women, right? Karma’s a cycle; when you go inside, I’ll make sure to arrange for your fellow inmates to take good care of you!"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about... I don’t know anything... let go of me... I want to leave!"
At this moment, Lucki was like a defeated rooster, and only leaving here could give him a sense of safety.
"Don’t rush. The birthday banquet isn’t over yet. As the representative of the Lu Family, how can you leave so early? Cherish your last moments in Red Flag County."
As Lin Fan spoke, he released his grip on Lucki’s shoulder, saying, "It’s okay, I’ll leave. After all, your wife is waiting for me for a three-hundred-round battle. If I don’t go, she’ll feel very empty!"
