Inside the Land Rover, this apparent enemy suddenly spoke in such a manner, which was indeed beyond Lin Fan’s expectations.
Of course, he wasn’t one to trust others easily, so he replied with a smile, "Help you seize power? You’re thinking too big. I’m just here to assist with the bidding."
"County Magistrate Lin, don’t be modest. Would I casually make contact with you without having investigated thoroughly?"
Lu Kebei said with a chuckle, "The upcoming project will be constructed in Red Flag County. Naturally, we can’t do without your help. Perhaps you don’t know that the project Ke Yunan secured was originally the Lu Family’s. You forcefully extracted eight hundred million from the Lu Family’s mouth, and made them pay an even greater price. With such ability, your future is bound to be bright."
"The Lu Family is quite well-informed. So, if I help you grab family assets, what’s in it for me? Do you expect me to serve you like a dog just for this card? You’re oversimplifying the matter."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes. The matter of his transfer to the County Committee was only known by a few, of course, the Lu Family would know. It was highly likely that Zhu Defu had spread the word.
"Don’t worry. I never take things lightly. This card is merely to clear the air about today’s misunderstanding. Since you can get together with Ke Yunan, the Ke Group should pave the way for you, and the Lu Group’s system isn’t weaker than that of the Ke Family. If I manage to gain real power, do you think your gains will be small?"
Lu Kebei took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Besides, we’re partners, not one who sees the other as a dog. Just look at your age—becoming Deputy County Magistrate at such a young time, your future achievements are surely boundless. With me as your support, I guarantee I’ll solve many troubles for you. What you have to do is to fiercely deal with Lucki. Considering what he did to you at school, you wouldn’t refuse to take revenge on someone who has bullied you, right?"
"You’re right about that, but he’s now hiding in the Provincial City. I don’t have the power to reach him."
Lin Fan also lit a cigarette. The struggles within wealthy families were indeed quite complex.
"If it were in the past, naturally you wouldn’t have the capacity, but with the bidding documents landing this time, although I organized the bid, knowing my mother’s temperament, she’ll definitely try to snatch the project back. So, he will have to come to Red Flag County. As long as you make it impossible for him to stay, and I have to clean up the mess, only then will the project truly become mine. Don’t worry, I will not be stingy with what I should give."
Lu Kebei, though a year younger than Lu Kesi, had a mind and strategy that likely left his brother far behind.
"Then here’s to a pleasant cooperation!"
Lin Fan gave it some thought. At the very least, it wasn’t a losing deal, so he extended his hand.
"I look forward to your good news!"
Lu Kebei shook Lin Fan’s hand, "Then I should be going. If someone sees us, it’ll be trouble. I hope you’ll keep this matter confidential. After all, once it gets out, I’m completely done for in the Lu Family."
"Don’t worry, I wouldn’t want to lose a gold mine ally."
The two exchanged a smile, and then Lu Kebei got out of the car and left. Watching his figure, Lin Fan shook his head. The world was full of changes, always with some interesting turns. But next, he’d have to bid a proper farewell to Ke Yunan, so he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped toward the hotel.
Half an hour later, Ke Yunan hurriedly returned to the hotel, and the moment she entered, she threw herself into Lin Fan’s arms.
"You’re back so quickly? Don’t you need to mingle with your colleagues?"
Holding Ke Yunan’s smooth body, Lin Fan asked curiously.
"No need, I’ve assigned the Deputy General from my peer group to work on networking. After all, there are many second and third-tier projects to aim for. We have to make as much as we can, but I needed to hurry back to accompany my aggrieved husband."
Ke Yunan hugged Lin Fan’s neck tightly, resting her head on his chest, "I’m sorry for causing you trouble because of me."
"What trouble? Moreover, given the current situation, it seems you’ve led me to a gold mine."
Lin Fan’s hand traveled up her shirt, grasping Ke Yunan’s ample curves, then proceeded to share his recent exchange with Lu Kebei.
"Lu Kebei is quite clever. He argues with you in public, but behind the scenes, he’s rallying allies. This kid really has some substance."
Ke Yunan sighed as she puckered her small lips after hearing about the unexpected developments, but her pale hand had already reached into Lin Fan’s waistband and was moving downwards, "Honey, after winning the bid I have to go back to prepare for the project and handle the brokerage fee. I have to leave tonight. Aren’t you going to give me a proper send-off?"
"How do you want me to send you off?"
Lin Fan’s hand found its way to the entrance of her Abyss, and as he gently pressed his fingers, her body involuntarily shuddered.
"To take me hard... until I get pregnant... Let’s strive for the three of us to have a grand reunion next time we meet, okay?"
Ke Yunan’s face blushed as she looked at Lin Fan. Her candidness ignited an unnamed fire in his belly.
"All right, my rich wife, today I’ll make sure to go until you beg for mercy!"
