Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Dancing on the Wire

The comfortable king-size bed was unusually quiet at this moment.

Ke Yunan turned over, wiped the tears from her face, and looked down at Lin Fan, who was lying in bed with his arm under his head.

The two were still inseparable, but at this moment, she was in no mood for such activities.

"What exactly is going on, tell me clearly."

An eight-hundred-million project wasn’t a small task by any means, and Ke Yunan was well aware that it was certainly not something a deputy mayor could get involved with.

"In simple terms, Zhu Defu gave me a few tender projects to find the right individuals to take over. I’ve found people for the other projects, and of course, I saved this eight-hundred-million project for you. After all, I’ve got to contribute something for our child, right?"

Lin Fan looked at Ke Yunan with a smile. At times like this, there was no need to avoid anything.

"Why would you give it to me... Just because I said I’m your wife, or because I gave myself to you?"

Ke Yunan, with her hands on Lin Fan’s chest, stared intently into his eyes, observing his every move.

"Isn’t that enough?"

Lin Fan reached out and wiped the teardrops off her face.

"Not enough, of course not enough. With your experience and qualifications, you’re just not cut out for this kind of thing."

Ke Yunan took a deep breath and said, "I appreciate your trust in me, but while this may be a good thing for me, it’s not that simple for you. I now have reason to suspect that Zhu Defu wants to use you as a tool. This is a project worth nearly a billion. What if he plans to get rid of you after the deed is done, to erase all traces? This could be deadly!"

"Do you think so too?"

Lin Fan looked into Ke Yunan’s eyes. Her thoughts were indeed aligned with Guo Baoming’s, and they matched what he had considered when discussing it with Chen Jiayi.

"Of course, greed knows no bounds; no one should be deceived by appearances. Like your trust in him, does it come from your relationship with Zhu Dan? If that’s the case, you absolutely can’t do this for him."

Ke Yunan took a deep breath and continued, "I understand Zhu Dan; she is definitely not duplicitous. But nobody can be sure whether her father might be using this to his advantage, setting a ’trap’ for you when you think you can rest easy because of your relationship with her, then dealing a deadly blow. This has happened many times before, and many have died because of it."

"The ’trap’... It’s indeed powerful!"

Lin Fan kneaded Ke Yunan’s lush body like a pendulum and smiled, "If you say that Zhu Dan is Zhu Defu’s ’trap’, then you could very well be Guo Baoming’s ’trap’. As Guo Baoming said, the usual ’trap’ is just an appetizer. The real ’trap’ is thinking of you in every way, sacrificing for you, waiting until you are completely invested, and then striking a lethal blow."

"You’re right, you could certainly think that way. After all, no one can see through another person perfectly, just like how you’ll never know what I’m really thinking right now. Therefore, I think you should reject this matter. Given your age and background, you are too young, and you don’t have any capable assistants around you, so you shouldn’t risk your own safety."

Ke Yunan pursed her lips; being an intermediary was not something just anyone could do, especially when it came to profit-sharing. They would only take a tiny bit, but would be doubted by both sides, and often be the first to be sacrificed, disappearing without trace or proof.

"Thank you for your ’trap’, at least you’ve put yourself in my shoes and thought it through, but I’m afraid I’ll have to take this risk and see what happens. After all, this is my only chance to overcome two huge obstacles!"

Lin Fan held Ke Yunan’s voluptuous body in his arms, listening to the sound of her heartbeat, "In fact, I’ve already thought about all of this last night, not just about you and Zhu Dan, but also every person around me. If I keep thinking this way, life would hardly have any brightness, so after considering it all night, I’ve decided to go ahead with it."

"Just for the sake of climbing up, is it really necessary?"

Ke Yunan stroked Lin Fan’s hair and said, "I’ve told you, if you don’t want to do it, I can support you. I certainly don’t want the father of my son to be silenced prematurely."

"Don’t worry, if he has his tricks, then I have my own ways. I can’t avoid learning to swim just because I’m afraid of water. Besides, my next move is to transfer to Red Flag Town, so I can’t escape this predicament anyway."

Lin Fan took a deep breath, "Rest assured, don’t they always say the rougher the sea, the more valuable the fish are? I had always planned to find a safe corner to hide in while the two ’tigers’ fought, only emerging once the storm passed. But now I think hiding is not really the best strategy after all, as I still seem to be targeted everywhere."

"So, what do you plan to do?"

Looking at Lin Fan’s resolute demeanor, Ke Yunan felt as if she could sense something.

"When watching tigers fight, of course, one must hold a hunting rifle in hand. I don’t care who dies or gets hurt, but if any of them shows their fangs to me, I’ll blow its head off."
