Chapter 614: Chapter 614 Huo Ben’s Threat
Lin Fan instinctively checked the time; it had only been two hours since Huo Ben had left.
That meant, 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 moment!"
Zhu Zhixuan replied, and after a while, Huo Ben's voice cthrough the phone.
"County Magistrate Lin, | must say, you've done a nice job with this tea house. I'd wanted to visit even before |
entered, but unfortunately, the city police had heldfor a few days. So, when | got back, | headed straight
here. The tea is fragrant, and even the proprietress and the waitresses are so beautiful—You sure know how to
play.”
"Business welcomes guests from all directions; if Boss Huo likes it, feel free to cby 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 me."
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, | need to hurry after having
tea. | heard the Cultural Troupe has brought a few beauties; | must go and feast my eyes. But I'll definitely visit
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoften—for starters, I'll get a membership card worth five hundred thousand as a gesture to support you, County
Magistrate Lin."
Huo Ben’s combined tactic of grace and menace 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, | assyou've already visited the location | mentioned?"
"I have, and I've been enlightened. Thanks to your arrangement, Boss Huo, now | know about such entertaining
games."
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 cto see him off?"
Huo Ben sneered, "Then, let's talk more when we meet."
"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 membership card worth five hundred thousand and then left with his people!"
Soon, Zhu Zhixuan’s voice cthrough, signaling Huo Ben had indeed contributed five hundred thousand.
"This is a mix of stick and carrot—just to keepin 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, seemed ready for a big brawl at any moment.
"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 hand arrange for two wreaths to be sent to County Magistrate Luan’s
memorial hall. I'll head there early tomorrow, and you will join me."
Since he couldn't avoid it, Lin Fan braced himself for the confrontation.
"You're still planning to cto Red Flag County?"

Zhu Zhixuan asked in surprise.
"At least | need to send County Magistrate Luan off. As for what comes after, we'll see."
Lin Fan hung up the phone, and at that moment, Gao Man was holding the phone, looking at the latest message.
"The message says that County Magistrate Luan’s wife and parents are holding a vigil at the funeral home, but
there’s no sign of his children. Their absence at such a tcould mean they've been kidnapped. County
Magistrate Luan’s wife has been quietly sobbing the whole time, 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 beca 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
someone else. He's been a solitary man until now, which makes him extremely 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 games 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 moment, he could only vent all his
pent-up emotions into Gao Man's body.
