Chapter 328: To meet or not? We must meet!

The night was alluring, and the other end of the phone fell silent for a few seconds.

Then came Sun Zhiqing's cold, steady voice: "Section Chief Lin, you've got some nerve, tracking me down so quickly—are you a bit impatient?"

"Sun Zhiqing, although you're not a government official, you are still a Party member—your awareness is lacking. Your grandfather Sun Fucheng died in a muddled, unclear way. Your husband Zou Feiyun is also detained in the case, and you're still daydreaming? If I were you, I'd turn myself in voluntarily, not engage in pointless struggle."

As Lin Dongfan's words fell, a soft laugh came from the phone.

All of this.

It all seemed to be under Sun Zhiqing's control.

Sun Zhiqing calmly replied: "Section Chief Lin, do you think this is a movie? Never be so arrogant—harsh reality won't indulge your bad habits."

"Am I really that arrogant?"

Lin Dongfan chuckled, quite pleased with that assessment.

A man remains a boy till death!

Ah, wrong!

Without arrogance, youth is wasted!

Facing a bunch of greedy scoundrels, I'll slap your faces without arrogance—do I still have to tuck my tail and massage your shoulders like a grandson?

Even if I agreed, the victims you've exploited and bullied wouldn't agree.

I was born to be your nemesis!

Lin Dongfan responded lightly to Sun Zhiqing's warning: "Mrs. Zou, you're graceful and charming. Although heaven gave me the right to flip you off in contempt, I'm a principled gentleman with boundaries. I don't want to scorn you—I just want to mess with you. Want to give it a try? See if I can mess you up."

As his words fell, the other end of the phone fell silent, seemingly flustered.

The people around Lin Dongfan also fell silent at that moment.

Everyone looked at Lin Dongfan as if he were a lunatic, especially junior sister Jian Sining, whose expression was subtle, thinking, "How can senior brother be so unserious? This is law enforcement…"

Only Zhu Xianhua, wearing handcuffs, had a solemn expression.

Old Zhu seemed to have forgotten he was a prisoner.

He gazed at the chatting, laughing Lin Dongfan and sighed with admiration: "Damn, if I had this flirting skill, I wouldn't be brute-forcing like a wild boar."

The phone waited Along time for Sun Zhiqing's voice.

Lin Dongfan chuckled again: "Hey, grandson, still there? I haven't even started—don't tell me you're already wiped out."

"Shameless wretch!"

Finally, Sun Zhiqing's voice came through the phone—though it was a scolding, it wasn't the tone of angry embarrassment; it was more like amused teasing.

Lin Dongfan laughed even happier—just being happy is good!

You let down your guard unhappily—where am I supposed to flay your skin? As the saying goes, "A true man is all courage; if I don't go to hell, who will?"

Lin Dongfan seized the moment: "That old saying goes well—those who know the times are outstanding. Zou family, your mansion is about to collapse; no one can protect you now. Turn from darkness to light—let me have a good time once, and I'll let you enjoy it for life."

"You must be Cao Cao time-traveling, loving married women so much." Sun Zhiqing replied with a laugh.

Lin Dongfan replied: "Cao Chancellor is my idol, as is Prince Duan of Dali—do you understand my aspirations now?"

"Which Prince Duan of Dali?"

"The Prince Duan of Dali in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Duan Zhengchun. In the part where Xu Zhu acknowledges his father, if the Prince Duan stepped forward to recognize his son, even Abbot Xuanci would be baffled. That's the realm, that's the reputation."

"Haha, you really are shameless."

"Shall we or not?"

"Sure, since you like to play this way, I won't be pretentious—playing with anyone is still playing. But the venue is up to me."

"You say."

"The Green Fruit Clubhouse in West City District—come over now, I'm waiting."

"Okay, I'll be there."

"You can only come alone, understand? If you bring people to arrest me and someone dies, you bear the consequences."

"Got it, see you soon."

When Lin Dongfan hung up the phone.

Jian Sining, Tang Xia, and the others were still bewildered—how did the usually cautious Sun Zhiqing just get it done? Say 'let's meet' and it's set?

Before the two could sort out the logic of this conquest.

Zhu Xianhua suddenly sighed: "Idol, our idol! If I'd met you years ago and learned a few of your flirting tricks, I wouldn't have picked up a rape charge."

Hearing that, Jian Sining gave Zhu Xianhua a disgusted look.

And she warned Zhu Xianhua: "What nonsense are you spouting? Keep your mouth clean! Section Chief Lin doing this is to draw out the snake—it's for work!"

"I didn't say it wasn't for work." Zhu Xianhua curled his lips and added: "But his flirting is indeed impressive, precisely catching Sun Zhiqing's loneliness and bewilderment."

"What bewilderment?" Tang Xia asked curiously, eager to learn a move.

Zhu Xianhua said: "Bewilderment means the Zou mansion is about to collapse, Sun Zhiqing is at a loss, secretly wishing to find a new backer. In this situation, when Section Chief Lin takes the initiative to ask her out, she has no reason to refuse. Even if she can't become the Lin family's principal wife, being Lin Dongfan's underground lover is excellent."

"Is the loneliness factor valid too?" Tang Xia doubted: "Her husband was just detained a few days ago—how can she already not endure loneliness?"

Zhu Xianhua laughed: "You're not married, are you? No experience at all. What kind of person is Zou Feiyun? A Capital Circle prince who changes brides nightly, drained outside, with no energy to tend to Sun Zhiqing at home—you can tell with your toes that Sun Zhiqing spends most of her time in lonely, cold-windowed widowhood."

"Damn, these bastards really know how to play."

Can't envy that—others are born with a 'holy child' halo, while I was called 'candied haws' at birth, nicknamed 'silly egg', a village-born mongrel.

Tang Xia set aside his frustrated mindset.

He turned his gaze to Lin Dongfan: "Section Chief, you don't really intend to go alone, do you?"

"What are you thinking?!"

Ever mindful of her civil-servant image, Jian Sining couldn't help but kick Tang Xia in the butt.

Holding back her anger, she criticized Tang Xia: "Zhu Xianhua sees Section Chief Lin as a playboy, and you see him the same way? You're asking for a beating."

"I was just asking casually—why are you in a hurry?"

Tang Xia was scolded until his face fell; ah, the goddess in his heart, his eyes held only her senior brother.

He stowed his despondent mood.

Tang Xia again explained to Lin Dongfan: "Director Lin, I'm not doubting you can't keep your underwear on; I mean it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Not taking Sun Zhiqing is turning their scheme against them, digging a pit to trap you."

"That makes sense, so I must go alone."

Lin Dongfan solemnly patted Tang Xia's shoulder, instantly leaving him dazed.

Tang Xia wondered: "Director Lin, didn't you understand what I was saying? I mean you might fall into Sun Zhiqing's beauty trap; going alone is dangerous."

"Would bringing you make it any less dangerous?" Lin Dongfan said: "Now, can we be sure Sun Zhiqing is really at the Greenfruit Clubhouse? No! So if we all swarm over and let her see we only want to catch her, with no intention of giving her an escape route, wouldn't she just pack up and flee early?"

"What do you mean then?" Tang Xia was still a bit dazed.

Lin Dongfan patted his shoulder again: "I need to go scout ahead first. If you're bored stiff, you can sit down and squeeze the pimples on your face when you have time—don't let your head be full of pus."

Zhu Xianhua suddenly chuckled: "Director Lin, he's just suspecting you want to sleep with Zou Feiyun's wife..."

"Bullshit!"

Tang Xia kicked Zhu Xianhua in the butt, repaying the slight kick he'd just received from Jian Sining.

After kicking, he cursed: "Motherfucker, do you even get to speak? You got a free silver bracelet, yet you're not behaving!"

"You're all big shots, can't I just shut up?" Zhu Xianhua made the best of a bad situation; wanting to stay silent was truly hard, so he couldn't help asking Lin Dongfan with a smile: "Director Lin, I heard that when you captured Yin Qiuhong last year, you went alone to the appointment, and then she repeatedly slept with him several times—is that true?"

"True, just envy me slowly."

Saying that, Lin Dongfan waved at his subordinates: "You few, take this pig back to me; he talks too much, don't feed him today—let him reflect first."
