Chapter 230: Chapter 230 You’re in Big Trouble

"The content in my phone consists of classified documents," Zhu Defu said gravely. "Just looking at them is a serious crime—serious enough to strip you of your uniform."

Gao Min held the phone tightly, but Lin Fan remained unfazed. "Try it if you don’t believe me, but I advise you not to make any rash moves."

"You’re bluffing. A lowlife like you claims to be a civil servant... Even if by a long shot you are, breaking the law knowing the law gives me every right to arrest you!"

Gao Min looked down on Lin Fan, clearly not buying that this opportunist was any sort of civil servant.

"Alright, Gao Min, since you insist on blowing things up, I’m game for a little excitement."

Lin Fan smirked, and the moment he called out her name, Gao Min froze. "How do you know my name?"

"It’s not difficult. I not only know your name, but I also know the name of your Police Chief and that you’re a member of the Criminal Investigation Unit 6. Now, do you still think barging into my room and disturbing my activities is a trivial matter?"

Lin Fan patted the unmoving Zhu Zhixuan under the sheets, where they were still amusingly connected. "You... Don’t try to scare me; I can definitively say that you and the person under the sheets aren’t married!"

Gao Min gritted her teeth, finding the situation rather complicated.

"That’s right, she’s not my wife. I can also tell you that she is someone else’s wife, but what does that matter? What law says I can’t sleep with someone else’s wife, as long as both parties are consenting adults?"

Lin Fan sneered, "We are old classmates, and I am very aware of all her details. Is it illegal to have a fling with an old classmate? If that’s the case, then you really can arrest me. I’d like to see what kind of incompetents work under Sun Shi Quan."

At those words, Gao Min was stunned. Sun Shi Quan was their Deputy Chief, and knowing that Lin Fan seemed to know everything made her regret kicking down the door even more. She could only stare at him: "Who exactly are you?"

"Give me the phone, and let Sun Shi Quan tell you who I am!"

Lin Fan gestured to Gao Min, who after some thought, didn’t hand it over but turned the screen towards him. Unconcerned, Lin Fan dialed Sun Shi Quan’s number directly from the contact list and soon, his voice came through the speakerphone: "Mayor Lin, what brings you to call me?"

"Chief Sun, I had no choice but to call. I was enjoying my time with my girlfriend at a hotel when your Criminal Investigation Unit 6 officer Gao Min busted through the door, claiming to be conducting a room check and insisting that me sleeping with an old classmate is a crime, now she wants to arrest me and accuse me of illegal transactions, also inspecting my phone."

Every word Lin Fan uttered was like a steel nail piercing Gao Min’s heart, freezing her in place, unable to stand, sit, leave, or stay.

"Criminal Investigation unit doing room checks?"

Sun Shi Quan replied in confusion. Those tasks were usually handled by local police stations; when did criminal investigators start dealing with them? And as Lin Fan clearly stated, Gao Min had forced her way in.

"Yes, she’s holding my phone right now. You know our Red Flag County is in the middle of bidding; the files on this phone are classified, including the base price for this bid. So, after this, I’ll cooperate with her to the police station, but you might want to report to Mayor Zhu about the revaluation of the base price once it leaks—it will require rehiring a provincial accounting firm to recalculate, and you’ll likely bear the total loss and any legal liabilities, as you know."

After finishing, Lin Fan leaned against the headboard, a cold smile watching the paralyzed Gao Min. His tirade made it obvious even to a fool that she was in big trouble, for even if she could afford the losses, leaking state secrets was a punishable offense.

"Gao Min... What are you doing?"

The voice over the phone, Sun Shi Quan, flared up instantly. Talking big, this was a severe dereliction of duty, and with Lin Fan now a highly favored individual by Zhu Defu’s side, if this blew up, not just Gao Min but their entire Criminal Investigation Team would bear a massive scandal.

"Reporting, Chief... We were apprehending a criminal... I... I..."

At a loss for words, Gao Min struggled to explain the situation. After capturing Lin Fan at the pool and feeling vindictive, she had checked his hotel room number and burst in with her team, hoping to arrest the playboy and charge him with illegal transactions for a fifteen-day detention. She hadn’t anticipated bursting such a bubble.

"Who gave you the right to break in, to conduct room checks, and to inspect a state employee’s phone privately? Don’t you realize that’s a criminal act!"

Sun Shi Quan roared furiously, wishing he could leap through the phone.

"I... I didn’t know he... he was a public servant..."

With eyes welling up, Gao Min felt completely fallen.
