The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 624: Betraying a Teammate

"What?"

Huo Ben’s expression turned serious upon hearing Lin Fan’s words.

"The death of County Magistrate Luan had already alarmed the province. Although it has been determined to be depression due to work pressure, that’s just an excuse for outsiders. The province has already stationed a special action team in Red Flag County, and their primary target is to catch you. They even stopped my car this morning and asked me to join."

Lin Fan took a drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled, and looked straight into Huo Ben’s eyes.

"County Magistrate Lin, telling me such confidential information, have you considered the consequences? If I really get caught and expose you, you will be in trouble."

Huo Ben looked at Lin Fan with a slight smile, while he just shrugged, "That’s why there’s no recording of this conversation. Whether you leave or stay, consider it yourself. With this information, it should be enough for a release, especially since County Magistrate Luan is already dead. It’s only human to let his children come back for the last rites. With this favor, your sister-in-law can’t escape either."

"County Magistrate Lin, what a great pleasure it is, good for me I don’t have a wife!"

Huo Ben suddenly burst into loud laughter, creating a scene that left bystanders puzzled. If they didn’t know better, they would think they were old friends reunited.

"Even if Boss Huo had a wife, I wouldn’t dare to think about it. After all, your reputation in Red Flag County is well-known. I might still need your help in the future."

Lin Fan looked at Huo Ben’s expression. Although he hadn’t clearly agreed, that smile seemed to be a tacit approval.

"County Magistrate Lin, I’ve suddenly realized I like you more and more. When you have time, take a walk to Lemin Lane on West City North Road, you might find something interesting."

Huo Ben patted Lin Fan on the shoulder with a smile and walked towards the exit. The address he left was indeed a surprise for Lin Fan, who didn’t know what was in that alley. But now wasn’t the time for that, as the cremation of County Magistrate Luan was about to start, and he wondered if his children would make it back in time.

"Dad..."

Shortly after Huo Ben and his men left, a boy and a girl in school uniforms rushed into the mourning hall, apparently County Magistrate Luan’s children, and knelt down, wailing loudly.

"Ru Long, Ru Feng, you’ve finally come back!"

Seeing her children return, Nie Yinghong also rushed over excitedly, and the three of them wept together.

The bitterness of that moment was understood only by them, and even Bai Xue and Zhu Zhixuan couldn’t help but secretly wipe their eyes.

"Ding Ling Ling..."

Just as Lin Fan was feeling a bit sad while smoking, his phone suddenly rang—it was a call from Gao Man.

"Is there something?"

Lin Fan pressed the answer button and asked curiously.

"I’m currently in Red Flag County, having joined the special action team organized by the province. We were just forming a plan to capture Huo Ben, but unexpectedly, he showed up near our office area without any bodyguards and has been detained by us. I found it strange and sneaked a call to you!"

Gao Man’s brief words shocked Lin Fan, "Are you working at Lemin Lane on West City North Road?"

"Yes, how did you know that?"

Gao Man’s counter-question made Lin Fan frown, "You’ve been played by Huo Ben. He deliberately let himself be captured. Who knows what schemes he has up his sleeve!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"The deputy leader of the action team already said that Huo Ben definitely can’t escape this time. We received information that County Magistrate Luan’s missing children have returned to the crematorium. With their testimony, Huo Ben is finished. We’ll head over soon to bring them back for the investigation. I have to go. I’ll contact you if there’s anything!"

After hanging up, Lin Fan frowned deeply. He had wanted to use the action team to get County Magistrate Luan’s kids back, but it seemed that Huo Ben had anticipated everything. If that was the case, this so-called special action was doomed to fail. Choosing not to join was definitely the right decision.

Lin Fan sighed but couldn’t help smiling. If Huo Ben and Zhao Chuanchun were that easy to eliminate, he might have lost interest. Since the game was on, he might as well play it well. He then picked up the phone and dialed Xiao Zhuang’s number.

"Lin, what’s up?"

Xiao Zhuang asked curiously after answering the phone.

"I need you to help me hold down the fort here. Can you bring more people to the funeral home?"

Lin Fan asked, squinting his eyes.

"Of course, how many do you need?"

Xiao Zhuang was more than willing to help Lin Fan, given their previous experience.

"Five hundred per person; I’ll take as many as you can bring!"

Lin Fan was in urgent need of manpower, and Xiao Zhuang was a good choice.

"No problem, I’ll bring at least forty people right now!"

Xiao Zhuang was instantly delighted, as just showing up would net them twenty thousand yuan. Why wouldn’t he be willing?

After hanging up, Lin Fan approached Nie Yinghong and said, "Sister-in-law, since the children are back, let’s prepare for the spirit sending ceremony!"
