Chapter 156: Disobedient Dogs Will Be Killed
"Smelly little brother, which woman are you getting busy with that took you so long to answer the phone?"
On the phone, Zhang Caini’s unrestrained words proved that Zhu Defu was not by her side.
"What are you talking about? I was just in the county working with County Magistrate Luan on attracting investment, just looking over some documents. Do you, my dear sister, have any instructions for me?"
Lin Fan stood on the balcony, gazing deeply at the brightly lit county town, while Zhang Caini indeed said what he had been thinking, "Old Zhu asked me to bring you a message. He’s going to attend the investment promotion conference tomorrow and wants you to look after Lucki. You know what he means, right?"
"Lucki... Dear sister, may I inquire as to what connection this Mr. Lucki has with Mayor Zhu?"
Lin Fan was naturally not willing to let this beast benefit, and his question made Zhang Caini on the other end of the phone pause for a moment.
"Smelly little brother, some things are not for us to ask about. After all, knowing too much is not a good thing because only the dead keep their mouths shut, so don’t ask anymore, and I won’t go snooping either. We are nothing but tools for others to use, and we can’t speculate on anything else."
"Dear sister, I’m not going to hide it from you. Lucki and I have had a long-standing grudge, and if he makes a killing, it will make me quite uncomfortable."
Lin Fan took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Just now, under the bed, he had heard Lucki’s arrogant words. If this matter didn’t go through his hands, it wouldn’t bother him much, but now Zhu Defu was asking him to handle it, and that was particularly irritating.
"Smelly little brother, personal grievances are minor issues when profits are at stake. The project in Red Flag County is huge, and there’s so much to be developed. The interests involved aren’t simple. Even Zhu Defu is just a link in the chain run by those above. To put it bluntly, we’re his dogs, and he’s just a pawn in someone else’s game."
After listening to Lin Fan’s account, Zhang Caini laughed and said, "So, as small fry, we have to obey. A dog that doesn’t listen gets punished, and one that bites its own people gets put down. Isn’t Wu Duowen’s case your best reference? Patience and silence pave the way for greater progress."
