Chapter 27: The Calm Before the Storm
As noon approached, the winding road leading to the village had just opened to traffic.
After having breakfast with Chang Wanyun, Lin Fan drove toward the village, while Chang Wanyun, sitting in the passenger seat, silently held Lin Fan’s hand as if she were a girl experiencing her first crush, afraid he might leave.
"Ding-a-ling..."
Just as the car reached the summit of the hill, Lin Fan’s phone rang, displaying Zhang Caini’s number. Lin Fan pressed the answer button and asked with a smile, "How come you have time to call me again?"
"People from above are coming, and Old Zhu has to go receive them. He has no time to care for me. It seems they are here for preliminary research regarding Lotus Town, so let’s have dinner together after work tonight."
With Zhang Caini, Lin Fan had complete tabs on Zhu Defu’s every move.
"I’m afraid I won’t be free today; my dad was injured by the village head, and I’m already on my way home."
Lin Fan roughly shared the news he had heard from Chang Wanyun with Zhang Caini.
"Knowing you work in the government, they still dare to attack your dad? Does your village head no longer want his job?"
Zhang Caini asked incredulously.
