Lin Fan finished speaking and didn’t wait for Zhao Chuanchun’s response. He walked directly to the service area’s restroom with his arm around Wu Houbiao’s shoulder.
Watching his unturned back, Zhao Chuanchun couldn’t help but frown.
"County Magistrate Lin, why aren’t you leaving? Now these people will definitely check the car!"
Unable to restrain himself, Wu Houbiao turned his head to look at the crowd still surrounding the car. After causing such a commotion, why had he suddenly stopped leaving?
"If I had left just now, regardless of whether there was something in my car or not, it would have been assumed there was. But now, by stopping and leaving the car there, that proves there isn’t anything!"
Lin Fan went about his business, unzipped his trousers, and relieved himself. Wu Houbiao didn’t fully understand but kept silent. After they finished at the restroom, they bought some drinks at the convenience store and then returned to the car. The few who had stayed behind exchanged glances with each other, and as Lin Fan had predicted, they didn’t check the back door of his car.
"County Magistrate Lin, I already said it was all a misunderstanding. Since it’s been clarified, there’s no issue. It’s getting late; you should depart soon. My little girl insists on going to the City for fun. Please take good care of her, and should there be any issue, feel free to discipline her. Just don’t spoil her too much."
Zhao Chuanchun was still smiling as before, but this time he proactively mentioned Zhao Qianyue, a clear sign that his trust in Lin Fan had changed.
"County Magistrate Zhao, rest assured, I guarantee the young lady will return unharmed."
Lin Fan handed the coffee he had bought to Zhao Qianyue. With the crisis averted, she also managed a smile, opened the passenger door, and sat down. However, Lin Fan still did not leave; instead, he stepped up to Huo Ben.
"Boss Huo, I don’t know why you’re always targeting me. I’ve said before; I don’t stoop to your level, out of respect for County Magistrate Zhao. Otherwise, you’re nothing but a fart. My advice to you is not to go overboard."
"If you’re so confident, open your trunk!"
Obsession had already twisted Huo Ben’s expression into something ferocious. He was sure Lin Fan was just playing mind games.
"Why don’t you strip and let me check whether you’re a man or a woman? If you strip, I’ll open it!"
Lin Fan held his coffee with a cold smile looking at Huo Ben. But unexpectedly, the next second, Huo Ben really unbuckled his belt. As his trousers slid down, he didn’t hesitate to yank down his underwear too, exposing his pinkie-sized manhood to everyone.
"I’ve already stripped... according to your words, open the trunk!"
Huo Ben balled his fists, ignoring the astonished looks around him. This time, he had finally cornered Lin Fan, eager to see how he would respond.
"Wow, does that even count as a man?"
Lin Fan squinted, showing interest in the spectacle below Huo Ben’s waist, while Zhao Chuanchun beside him turned grim. Although no one dared laugh, Huo Ben’s act had clearly gone against Zhao’s wishes. Even if they found Bashen in the trunk, this would disgust him.
"Cut the crap and open the trunk!"
Huo Ben’s eyes, bloodshot, stared at Lin Fan. Although there were no laughs around, he knew everyone was celebrating internally; nevertheless, he didn’t care about that anymore. Today, he was determined to shred all of Lin Fan’s pretenses.
"Boss Huo, you’re so sure something’s in my trunk. Could it be that you put it there yourself?"
Lin Fan rubbed his nose. As soon as he spoke, Huo Ben seemed to see a glimmer of victory.
"Whether it was you who caught him or me who put him there, won’t we know after seeing the guy?"
"Seeing the guy, it’ll be someone from your side. What if it was all prearranged to frame me?"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes. His words were clogging both ends, but whether people believed them depended on their own analysis.
"I wouldn’t be so childish... Are you going to open it yourself... or shall I help you?"
Huo Ben was convinced these were just Lin Fan’s excuses to delay, and even if Bashen pointed fingers at him, he’d say it was all a setup. None of this mattered anymore, as he fully trusted Zhao Chuanchun to discern the truth.
"My car, obviously I’ll do it myself. I want to see what you’re so confident about, blocking the car and stopping people for!"
As Lin Fan spoke, he moved to the trunk, reached out, and opened the lid. Instantly, his expression changed, "Boss Huo... you actually play so dirty!"
"The person is indeed here!"
Huo Ben hurriedly took a few steps forward to the car, but when he saw the completely empty trunk, he was struck as if by lightning, "How is it possible... Where is the person... How can he not be here!"
"Boss Huo, I really thought you staged a person to frame me, but it seems you haven’t thought that far yet."
Lin Fan said as he patted Huo Ben’s shoulder, "Then I’ll be taking my leave first!"
Not minding the shell-shocked Huo Ben any longer, Lin Fan smiled and got into his car. He pressed the gas pedal and drove off.
In the rearview mirror, seeing Huo Ben’s pale face, Lin Fan smiled and once again slipped his hand under the ponytail skirt, continuing to ravage Zhao Qianyue’s damp Abyss. This marked the beginning of his downfall, while Lin Fan would continue to relish Zhao Qianyue’s tight Abyss.
