Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Gentleness in the Deep of the Night
County nights were always so tranquil.
Lin Fan leaned against the headboard, fiddling with his phone; at that moment, the screen displayed Chen Jiayi’'s
smiling face.
"We just had dinner with Uncle and Auntie, and they couldn't stop raving about the dishes Jiagi made!"
Their previously gloomy mood lifted as they arrived safely at Victory Village Team 2, now sitting in the pavilion,
gazing up at the stars in the sky.
"So, never played the role of a daughter-in-law before, huh? Does it feel tough?"
Lin Fan watched Chen Jiayi’s face with amusement. Who would've imagined that the former Mayor's Wife would
run off to the countryside to beca daughter-in-law.
"Why would it be tough? I'm having a blast. Uncle even said he’s taking us up the mountain to gather herbs
tomorrow."
Zhao Jiaqi snatched the phone away, a bright smile on her face, "We were just saying that we should settle in the
countryside more often, raise a bunch of chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs. Isn't that much happier than living in
the city? We have nature at our fingertips, something others can’t easily get."
"That's because you don’t have to worry about making a living in the countryside. Naturally, you're happy. The
life of a farmer isn’t what you're experiencing now. And this kind of rural area, it's hard to even get deliveries. It's

Lin Fan looked at the two beautiful women with a smile. Although Zhu Zhixuan and Bai Xue had put in a lot of
effort today, they couldn't quite match the blend of melting ease and naturalness of the other two. If one were to
speak of having one arm around each, it might still be more enjoyable with them. Of course, if the four beauties
slept together, that would be the icing on the cake.
"Don’t make it sound so absolute. If you dare, cback and see who can’t stand it first!"
Chen Jiayi smiled enigmatically, carrying a captivating allure. Lin Fan, of course, understood the implication in
her words.
"I want to cback too, but Red Flag County isn’t that fun. | had thought to flip the table, but ended up with a
pile of crap dumped on my head. Once | settle things here, I'll cback and we'll have three hundred rounds of
battle."
Lin Fan briefly described the day’s events, and upon hearing them, Chen Jiayi’s expression changed abruptly.
"That old fox is cunning indeed, shifting all of Wei Family’s hatred onto you. I've heard about the Wei Family; their
backbone has a solid standing in the provincial department. And they're all either in the military or the police,
having a sense of integrity in their bones."
Chen Jiayi paused, sharing what she knew about the whole situation.
"A few years back, when there was an investigation in Red Flag County, Old Hou had hosted the Wei Family in
the City, and | attended too. I've met Wei Changzheng. He seems to have a personal vendetta against Red Flag
County. It's said that back in the day, to crack a case, the Wei Family had someone infiltrate the mines to gather
evidence—but the person vanished without a trace, and to this day, even their remains are yet to be found."
"No wonder there’s an old grudge!"
Hearing this, a glint appeared in Lin Fan's eyes. Just then, a faint sound of iron being struck drifted over. Lin Fan
quickly hung up the phone, rolled out of bed, and proceeded to the hallway outside his bedroom. He opened an
aluminum alloy window and saw Chu Shiyuan squatting outside, looking at him coldly.
"Are you sick? Why can’t | use the door?"
Chu Shiyuan was about to jump in from the window frame, but before she could land, Lin Fan had scooped her up
into his arms in a princess carry, causing a blush to cross her face.
"The doorway is being watched. The window is the safest route. It’s precisely because of this window that |
rented this place."
Holding the over hundred pounds that was Chu Shiyuan, Lin Fan walked into the room with a mischievous smile
on his face.
"You... putdown... | have legs!"
The usually domineering Chu Shiyuan, who had even walked down the stairs herself on her wedding day, found
it rare to be held and embraced by a man like this.
"Your legs work outside, but in here, they're not for walking."
Lin Fan dropped Chu Shiyuan onto the soft, large bed.
"What's that for?"

Chu Shiyuan didn’t immediately grasp Lin Fan's words.
"It means being carried on my shoulder."
Lin Fan pounced onto Chu Shiyuan. Though she remained defiant, her tone had been three degrees quieter since
the morning's events - probably something she hadn't noticed herself.
"You... Can't you be serious... | cto talk to you about serious matters..."
Chu Shiyuan hastily tried to push him away, but he crawled back onto her, refusing to get off.
"I'm not blocking your mouth, so go ahead and talk!"
Lin Fan rested his head on Chu Shiyuan’s arm, his right hand already having undone the buttons of her blouse
and capturing the lushness underneath.
"You... You... Ah!"
Chu Shiyuan stammered for a while but ultimately couldn't articulate her reasoning, eventually recounting the
day’s events instead.
A death case had to be investigated thoroughly. After reviewing video surveillance from the area, it was
confirmed that Director Lu had gone to a seven-story building nearby and then jumped down to his death. There
was no coercion from anyone around, and his family’s safety had been checked - neither his wife nor daughter
had been threatened. After comparing handwriting, the suicide note was confirmed to be written by him.
Chu shiyuan sighed, "So, in fact, he’s always been a death soldier prepared by Zhao Chuanchun."
