Chapter 639 The Only Condition
"Lin Fan, are you alright!"
Dawn was breaking, and Chu Shiyuan, who had hurried back from the Provincial City, finally bustled into Lin Fan’s room.
"Chu, he’s right here, can’t you see for yourself?"
Lin Fan stretched out his hand and flung the blankets aside, revealing his bruised body clad only in underwear. One of his eyelids was already swollen and red; he looked as pitiable as could be, "Your investigative team really knows how to kick things off. They’ve opened my eyes. Once it gets light, I’m going to call Mayor Zhu, report the situation, and then have an ambulance take me to the provincial headquarters to get this sorted out."
"Lin Fan, don’t get worked up just yet, we can talk this out slowly!"
Seeing Lin Fan with his swollen face, Chu Shiyuan quickly tried to comfort him, "This incident is truly due to my negligence in management. I offer my apologies, and you can state whatever compensation you’d like. There’s no need to escalate this matter, after all, we’re supposed to be on the same side."
"People on the same side end up like this? Then I have even more reason to go to the provincial headquarters to seek justice. The investigative team claims they’re here to investigate Zhao Chuanchun’s disciplinary violations, but they’ve come to Red Flag County and beaten me, the Deputy County Magistrate, to this state first. Is there no justice left? No rule of law? I refuse to believe that there’s nowhere in the provincial headquarters where I can argue my case!"
Lin Fan’s face was cold as he lit a cigarette and took a couple of heavy drags.
