In a room filled with the scent of rosemary, two people were still entangled with each other.
Lin Fan’s doting gaze accelerated Bai Xue’s heartbeat without her realizing it.
"But... when I was at school, although I was called one of Lianhua’s Two Beauties, because we were in different grades and departments, I wasn’t very familiar with Mr. Zhu. At most, we’d just greet each other when we met... We have no common hobbies either, I have no idea how to get along with him."
Bai Xue looked at Lin Fan shyly, although she too was a married woman, but since Zhu Zhixuan’s husband had gone to prison, she had been wholeheartedly accompanying Lin Fan.
"Isn’t your common hobby serving me now?"
Lin Fan pinched Bai Xue’s nose and said with a sneer, "Anyway, I’ve already warmed things up on her end. She probably won’t mind joining in to serve me. So now it’s up to you to make a statement. After all, it’s just the two of you in the county town, both from Lotus Town. If anything comes up, you can look out for each other."
"I... I’m just afraid... of messing things up... but whatever you say... goes."
Bai Xue bit her lips, rested her head on Lin Fan’s shoulder, and her heart was in turmoil as she didn’t know how to face this awkward situation.
"Do you need to find someone to practice with beforehand?"
Lin Fan winked mischievously. Ren Tian’ai was living next door and he believed that a simple call would have her rush in immediately, just like using Cai Jing as a transition when training Zhu Zhixuan. However, this suggestion instantly made Bai Xue’s face flush with heartbeat and shame.
"How... how can we practice that... Well... when I’m free... I’ll just go to the tea house... let’s just call it a coincidental encounter then..."
"Fine, everything as you wish. I’ll check on the shop situation first!"
Lin Fan kissed her tender cheek before slowly pulling out of Bai Xue’s body, and she hurriedly got up, took some tissues to clean Lin Fan up, and then covered herself as she dashed to the bathroom to deal with the love fluids that had leaked out.
After leaving the dormitory and walking down the stairs, Lin Fan casually strolled back to the shop. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Da Xiaoshuang anxiously standing there. On seeing Lin Fan, they immediately spoke firmly, "She’s been kneeling on the ground all this time and refuses to get up, aside from wanting to see you, she just keeps crying."
"Alright, enough, this isn’t a place for begging. Don’t kneel, stand up and talk."
Lin Fan returned to the tea table and looked at Song Lili, who was crying with swollen eyes.
"My brother... he’s gone missing. He must have been taken by Huo Ben!"
Song Lili raised her head, crying out loud.
"Do you have any evidence that it was Huo Ben who kidnapped him? And where is he held?"
Lin Fan signaled to Da Xiaoshuang with his eyes. The girls immediately helped Song Lili to her feet and sat her down in a chair opposite them.
"My brother publicly accused Huo Ben on the internet... who else but him could it be... I don’t know where my brother is being held, that’s why I’ve come to you for help!"
Song Lili looked at Lin Fan desperately, but upon hearing this, he shook his head, "First, even if your brother is missing, you should go to the police, not to me. Second, all this is just your suspicion, there’s no evidence to prove it was Huo Ben’s doing. Lastly, you don’t even know where he is being held. Do you think I have a thousand-mile eye? Where am I supposed to find him for you?"
"You must have a way... Huo Ben’s people are afraid of you... if you capture someone and interrogate them, you’ll find out, won’t you?"
Song Lili stared at Lin Fan, tearful and desperate. Her ludicrous words made her roll her eyes, "Are you out of your mind? Who do you think I am? To capture and interrogate someone, who gave me that right? I’ve already told you, you should go to the police!"
"But the police are afraid of Huo Ben... no one will care about us... I’m really at my wit’s end, that’s why I’ve come to you... please, save my brother... if you help save my brother... I’ll agree to anything you want... I can sleep with you... whatever you want... I no longer have a father, I can’t lose my brother too!"
Song Lili grabbed Lin Fan’s hand tightly, pleadingly looking at him.
"Do you think I lack people to sleep with?"
Lin Fan pulled back his arm and said, "I made it very clear last night, stop causing a commotion. Find a place to hide because it’s utterly pointless. Yet, you blatantly ignored that, wanting to make a bigger fuss. I can tell you now, if you don’t hide yourself, you might be the next to disappear."
"I’m not afraid to die... as long as it might save my brother... I’m afraid of nothing, please help me... in Red Flag County, only you’re not afraid of Huo Ben... only you can save my brother... please, please help me!"
Song Lili shook her head, her voice breaking as she collapsed emotionally.
"I won’t help you, nor can I. After all, Huo Ben isn’t an ordinary person, and in Red Flag County, I don’t have the power to confront him. As I’ve said before, it’s only with life that there’s hope. Even if your brother is in danger now, I believe he wouldn’t want you to risk yourself further. Remember, no one can die in another’s stead. If you act recklessly, you’ll only increase the casualties!"
Lin Fan looked sternly at Da Xiaoshuang, "Take her out, bring her to a quiet place."
