Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Trouble Has Come

"You’ve been quite carefree recently, have you forgotten about me?"

In the video, Zhang Cai Ni was dressed as provocatively as ever, not forgetting to strike poses as she spoke.

"How could I possibly forget? You’ll always be my sister, Cai Ni."

Lin Fan was leaning against the headboard while Bai Xue had already crawled under the covers next to him, having learned a lot over the past three days that she didn’t previously understand. Now, not only were her manners more varied, but she also knew how to make Lin Fan happy.

"With that sweet tongue of yours, I wonder how many married women you’ve managed to charm."

Zhang Cai Ni squinted her eyes and, somewhat guessing through the hotel’s decor, said, "Old Zhu told me to inform you that you’ve met all the people you needed to meet and had all the fun you could have. It’s time to compose yourself. You should be ready to take up your new role tomorrow. He will also give you full face while assuming office. However, you need to be cautious lately. A few days ago, he fooled Guo Baoming, and that guy will definitely find a way to retaliate. Now, you are in a precarious position; be careful he might target you."

"You think he would come after me?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan involuntarily sat up straight.

"There’s a possibility. After all, Fengqing Town in Lotus Town is quite a prized possession of the city. Who wouldn’t want a share of it? Being in this position means you’re stepping on other people’s cake, so just a heads up from me to be cautious. Guo will surely try something subtle, but with your connections higher up, he wouldn’t dare make a major move. Still, a warning wouldn’t hurt."

Zhang Cai Ni smiled and said, "That’s the nature of the bureaucracy; you have to step on others to climb up. Just be careful, and respond to whatever comes your way."

"Alright, I got it."

Lin Fan hung up the phone reluctantly. This news was indeed beyond his expectations. After all, he was just a deputy mayor, not quite qualified to contend with Guo Baoming.

"Is it because I’m not doing well enough?"

Bai Xue poked her head out from under the covers; Lin Fan’s reaction had been quite strong, and now it had suddenly died down.

"Of course not. You’re doing great. I was just distracted."

Lin Fan smiled and pulled Bai Xue out from under the covers. These three nights of rigorous coaching had made her proficient. However, this matter made Lin Fan lose the heart to continue playing around: "I’m heading back to Lotus Town the day after tomorrow, so I still have some affairs to settle here. The training ends this afternoon. You go back first and wait for me obediently."

"Okay, I understand."

Bai Xue obediently nestled in Lin Fan’s arms. Ever since she had given herself to him, her personality seemed completely changed, showing a slightly clingy dependency that he found quite appealing, especially as she was willing to try anything Lin Fan wanted, even if she didn’t like it herself.

"Alright then, be a good girl."

Lin Fan smiled and kissed Bai Xue on the forehead before getting up to wash up. Just then, the phone rang again. The caller ID showed it was Qu Liping, so Lin Fan pressed the answer button.

"Master, is it convenient to talk?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

Lin Fan checked the time; it was supposed to be working hours.

"Master, the secretary of Mayor Guo just came by, asking for your contact information, so I thought I’d let you know."

Qu Liping’s words made Lin Fan frown, confirming that the other party was indeed making their move.

"Alright, I got it."

Lin Fan hung up the phone and was about to call Chen Jiayi to discuss some matters when an unfamiliar number called him. After thinking for a moment, Lin Fan pressed the answer button. It was a woman’s voice on the other end, "May I speak to Lin Fan?"

"It’s me. Who is this?"

Lin Fan asked cautiously.

"I’m the secretary of Mayor Guo. The mayor has just asked me to invite you to tonight’s dinner party. I will send you the location and time via text message shortly. We hope you can attend on time."

After the secretary finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Soon after, a text message arrived. Looking at the time and location on it, Lin Fan frowned slightly. He had originally planned to call Chen Jiayi, but now it seemed better to speak to her in person.

After he washed and got dressed with the help of Bai Xue, he left the hotel and drove straight to the villa in the outskirts of the City. When he parked his car, Chen Jiayi and Zhao Jiaqi were already happily running out to meet him.

"You’ve been out in the wild for so long, now you finally decide to come back."

Zhao Jiaqi, wearing yoga pants and a white tank top, immediately gave Lin Fan a big hug. Her lively and cheerful nature only intensified once they were closer. Meanwhile, Chen Jiayi stood on the steps, smiling sweetly at Lin Fan, the adoration in her eyes almost palpable.

"These past few days, I’ve been a soldier tested by alcohol. Now, my tolerance has even increased."

Holding Zhao Jiaqi’s hand, Lin Fan walked up the steps and embraced Chen Jiayi, planting a heavy kiss on her peaceful and content face.

"I see it’s not just your tolerance that’s grown. I’m afraid the number of girls has increased too?"

Chen Jiayi chuckled, nestling in Lin Fan’s arms. He hadn’t contacted them during these days as they could guess he was either holding a wine glass or embracing a girl. It was better out of sight, out of mind.

"However many girls there are, they can’t compare to you two. If it weren’t for your insistence on my improvement, I’d rather stay at home forever."

Holding hands with both women, they walked back to the living room and sat down. Then, Lin Fan finally started to share the details from Zhang Cai Ni and Guo Baoming’s secretary’s phone calls.

"That bastard is trying to make a move on you now. This is clearly a trap. You can’t go!"

Hearing that Mayor Guo wanted to meet with Lin Fan made Zhao Jiaqi immediately anxious, since he was Hou Changyao’s archenemy.

"What do you think?"

Lin Fan looked toward Chen Jiayi next to him. He had mainly come back to consult her.

"It’s not about what I think, but whether you feel you have the capacity to face him?"

Chen Jiayi’s calm demeanor always outshone Zhao Jiaqi’s by a great deal. Leaning on the couch, she stared at Lin Fan with her wide, watery eyes.

"I think whether you stick your neck out or pull it back, you’re still in for a slice. He knows I’m aligned with Zhu Defu yet still invites me to dinner. It’s clearly a setup. I can duck on the first day but not the fifteenth. It’s better to go and see what he’s really up to."

Lin Fan already had his own thoughts, constantly avoiding wasn’t the answer. Even if it was a dangerous feast, he would still stroll in.

"If you’re confident you can keep your composure there, I support your idea."

Chen Jiayi could see through this as well. After all, for a deputy mayor to trouble a deputy mayor from another town wasn’t much of a challenge. If he had the bravery to face it, she must support him.

"But you can’t just move your mouth, you need to take action!"

Lin Fan smiled and pinched Chen Jiayi’s rosy cheek. Now that he was back, he certainly had to make his dues.
