Chapter 604: The Tearing Vortex
"Lin Fan, did you receive the news? County Magistrate Luan jumped off a building and committed suicide due to too much work pressure!"
As soon as the call connected, Zhu Defu’s anxious voice came through.
"I also just heard about it, what a pity!"
With that statement, Zhu Defu definitively concluded the matter. Lin Fan squinted his eyes. Zhu Defu couldn’t have been unaware of the conspiracy, especially since he’d been an old criminal detective. It was too obvious, yet this tone implied that the case was closed, and no one could change their testimony.
"Yes, with Lao Luan gone, your responsibilities just got heavier. I need to rush back to the City tonight to prepare for a meeting, to minimize the impact of this event. You should head back too and be ready for orders at any moment."
After finishing his sentence, Zhu Defu hung up the phone directly. This phrase about increased responsibilities also meant he had no intention of protecting Lin Fan, still insisting on sending him to Red Flag County. Indeed, all that talk about favoring him and being the potential son-in-law was false, pushing him toward the Abyss at the critical moment.
"Don’t go back, turn off your phone, just vanish. You can stay here for the time being."
Han Peipei paused and then said, "I’m going to see my sister-in-law now and find my father to try to transfer you directly from the City to the Provincial City. Even finding an office position won’t be an issue, and we can slowly look for opportunities to move up later."
