When Xu Guangfa finished listening to Lin Fan’s narrative, he couldn’t help but light up and give a thumbs up, "Mayor Lin, this move is indeed savage, it’s utterly heart-wrenching. Rest assured, I’ll handle this."
"Director Xu, my reputation in this life now rests on your shoulders. If anything goes wrong, I’ll be the one trapped in prison."
Lin Fan smiled slyly at Xu Guangfa. Some things didn’t need to be said too clearly—he already understood full well that if this matter weren’t handled properly, his position as the director would also come to an end.
"Mayor Lin, rest assured, I’ll personally lead the team tonight to ensure your absolute safety. You just go ahead and play boldly."
Of course, Xu Guangfa knew that this wasn’t only about keeping his position as director but also about whether he could transfer away from Lotus Town in the future, so even if it meant not eating or drinking, he would definitely handle this matter well for Lin Fan.
"Alright, I’m counting on you then."
Lin Fan nodded, summoned the massage girl back in, and after they had both had their feet massaged, they went their separate ways. Lin Fan didn’t forget to grab a cigarette for him and two bottles of Moutai—the embodiment of Chen Jiayi’s saying, "Money brings people together, and as it disperses, so do they."
Feeling sobered up, Lin Fan walked back to the town government courtyard, ready to open the car door and head back to the village to wait for the fish to bite when a figure hurriedly approached.
"Mayor Lin, are you sober now?"
Zhou Daguai smiled, holding a freshly caught fish from the reservoir, "This is a fresh fish my friend just brought me from the reservoir, take it home and try some."
"Zhou, you’re putting me in a difficult position. My parents aren’t home, and it’s just me. You give me this, but I can’t cook it, so you might as well keep it for yourself."
Lin Fan looked at the carp weighing about five or six pounds and bitterly smiled.
"Oh... I hadn’t considered that... How about this, my sister-in-law is a good cook. Come eat at my place, and I’ll accompany you for a drink."
Zhou Daguai scratched his head and asked with a smile.
"I’m busy tonight, how about tomorrow night?"
Lin Fan saw the ambition in his eyes. Clearly, this carp was just a pretext, and his beautiful wife was what he truly intended to offer.
"Alright, I’ll have my sister-in-law make fish dumplings at home tomorrow night and wait for you!"
Zhou Daguai hurriedly nodded, looking so jubilant. Little did he know, as Lin Fan got into the car and drove towards the small grove outside the town, plans were already swirling in his mind.
The moment the car stopped, Bai Xue, who had been waiting there, couldn’t wait to pull open the door and dive in. Dressed in white, she resembled a beautiful butterfly, completely nestled in Lin Fan’s arms, their lips entwined, feeling as though she was about to melt into his.
Her body burning with desire, she murmured to Lin Fan, "I miss you so much... I want you!"
"Not tonight, how about tomorrow night? Your husband just asked me to come over for dinner tomorrow, but I think he’s offering more than just that reservoir fish, including you, my ’mermaid.’"
Lin Fan’s hands continued to caress Bai Xue’s voluptuous body, causing her to gasp, her face flushed as she looked at Lin Fan dreamily, "So... are you going to eat?"
"Yes, of course, I will. Besides, when I was chatting with the Mayor today, I learned there’s a position for a Resident Secretary in Fengtai Village. I guess he also wants to secure this, so I might as well help him out a little, fulfilling his wish."
Lin Fan pinched the pink flush, Bai Xue couldn’t help but moan, "No, why should my body pave the way for his officialdom... What we have is between us and certainly not to help him."
"I’m not doing this to help him, don’t forget, the position is Resident Secretary. When you’re alone at home, I can come over every evening and play with my ’toys.’"
Lin Fan’s grin widened, causing Bai Xue’s cheeks to blush even more. Clinging to Lin Fan’s neck, she shyly said, "You’re far more thrilling than any toy. Just thinking about you makes my whole body itch. Am I being too much?"
"Not at all; it’s just the body’s natural desires. It’s like when you’re hungry, you eat; when you’re thirsty, you drink. How about I come over tomorrow night and make sure you’re well fed?"
Watching the sun set, knowing the fish was about to bite, although Bai Xue was panting heavily, Lin Fan knew that tonight’s catch would need to be severely dealt with, so he needed to conserve his energy for the real revenge that was just beginning.
"Okay, I’ll wait for you."
Bai Xue nodded shyly, got out of the car, and watched the car’s taillights disappear into the woods, her heart racing in anticipation of tomorrow night at her own house—just the thought of it thrilled her.
So she hummed a tune all the way home, cheerfully walking back. The first thing she did was to pull out a clean set of beddings; after all, Lin Fan would be waging a fierce battle there tomorrow night, so everything needed to be well prepared.
