Chapter 473

When Lin Dongfan just embraced her, Zheng Qingxuan's mind went completely blank.

When Lin Dongfan let go, Zheng Qingxuan finally came to her senses, then immediately began imagining his motives for the hug, and her cheeks flushed red as she lowered her head embarrassedly.

She looked like her heart was pounding like a startled deer.

Lao Ba watched, feeling more and more emotional: this ninth concubine probably can't escape Fan Ye's grasp. I wonder if the principal wife, Chu Lingxi, is sneezing now.

First love Ye Jiaying, President Ye! Now she's been helped to become a prominent figure in the business world, with a net worth over a hundred billion!

Sunshine-type beauty Su Yuhong has now been helped to become a Division Level leader.

Junior sister Jian Sining is now a Deputy Division Level.

Trader Yu Youwei has now been made the financial director of Zhengtong Group, also serving as personal assistant, taking care of Fan Ye's daily life every day.

Also Sun Zhiqing and Yin Qiuhong, who both have sons, occasionally call to harass.

Yin Qiuhong, who is abroad, may not have the chance to warm the bed, but Sun Zhiqing, who is domestically, is a top-notch young woman that even Cao Chengxiang cannot resist.

And then there's Chen Xiaoyu, eighteen years old, with a promising future; if she doesn't properly serve as his warship girl, she constantly thinks of Fan Ye every day.

Lao Ba counted on his fingers, and together with the principal wife, that makes exactly nine!

He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh silently: "One against nine, can he keep up? What a sin……"

"Lao Ba, what are you thinking while shaking your head?" Lin Dongfan, the big pig's trotter, suddenly shot a sharp glance, like an intolerant judge.

"Nothing much, I just suddenly felt a bit jealous; I want to find a place to calm down."

Lao Ba stood at attention with a proper military posture, his steps thudding, while inside he harbored a bellyful of gossip, thinking of Zhang Yinlan from the Civil Affairs Bureau—she's a bit older but has a fine demeanor; I don't know if she got together with Fan Ye that night, when Fan Ye was drunk but she wasn't……

"Worried!"

"Being Fan Ye's personal bodyguard is truly exhausting."

"No matter how many precautions, women are the hardest to guard against!"

"With so many women, if one day a venomous heart pops up and kills Fan Ye in bed, how will I face the Lin and Chu families?"

"Lao Ba, worried, took out his phone and dialed Xie Xiaofeng: "Old Xie, I think you need to remind the elder sister-in-law to keep her husband in check.""

"Are you getting full of yourself? You dare to betray Fan Ye." Xie Xiaofeng replied.

"Lao Ba firmly rebutted: "Who betrayed him? I'm just worried he'll get caught. Now there are too many women trying to get close to him; defense can't keep up. You don't know, he isn't even guarding against Zheng Qingxuan—she's from the Zheng Family, an enemy. If Zheng Qingxuan is two-faced, feigning kindness, the consequences would be unthinkable.""

"Then just keep an eye on her."

"Don't talk while standing if it doesn't hurt your waist; if one day he takes Zheng Qingxuan to roll in the sheets, could I stand guard by the bed like a fool?"

"In that situation, Fan Ye would defend himself; Zheng Qingxuan couldn't hurt him."

"I feel you're oversimplifying; in intimate situations, many things can't be guarded against. I think you'd better still send a small report to the elder sister-in-law, asking her to keep him in check."

"Not possible."

"Not possible? Then if something happens, you'll be responsible."

"I just wonder how you can be sure Zheng Qingxuan is two-faced; I've interacted with her and truly didn't sense any ill intent."

"I just can't be sure, which is why I'm worried; if I could be sure, I wouldn't have anything to worry about."

"Fine, don't tell the elder sister-in-law about this; if you need to report, you can only go to the Lin Family patriarch, because only he can keep Fan Ye in line."

"I just realized I missed one."

"What do you mean you missed one?"

"The women exchanging glances with Fan Ye aren't just ten; there's also Wang Minjuan's sister, Wang Minlan—I heard she's returned to the country."

"What else are you trying to say? Could Wang Minlan also want to kill Fan Ye?"

"Who knows, but the Wang Family is also Fan Ye's enemy, so we need to guard against them. Her sister Wang Minjuan is a top-tier master, a inheritor of the ancient martial arts clan."

"Are you a bit obsessed today? You see assassins everywhere."

"Old Xie, you've stabbed my heart."

I'm speaking the absolute truth; today all you've been thinking about is 'overthrowing the ruler,' and you even wanted to tattle to the elder sister-in-law—you're really obsessed.

You don't know, but today Fan Ye and I were locked up in a bank vault, the chamber filling with liquid nitrogen, and we nearly froze to death. At the brink of death, I truly felt helpless. No matter how strong I am, even if I could take on ten men, what good is that? Many things can't be guarded against! That's when I realized.

What did you realize?

Why is our department called the Safety Protection Department instead of the Counterattack Division? It's obvious—safety protection comes first; we can't wait for problems to arise before counterattacking.

Go on.

I've finished—preventing trouble before it happens is more important than anything!

Then have you told Fan Ye about this?

You can't talk to him about this; right after coming out of the vault, he was instantly possessed by a lecherous pig's trotter, his mind solely on flirting, a natural-born flirt—he hardly seems like a bureau chief.

Watch your words.

I'm worried too; with him fooling around like this, even if he isn't assassinated by a woman in bed, he could easily be caught by his rivals in a scandal.

Xie Yinxin won't allow such news to appear.

I know his aunt is impressive, but she's about to retire, right? Once she steps down, many things will become uncontrollable.

Maybe...

Maybe my ass—I'm stating facts!

I haven't even finished speaking, why are you rushing? I'm saying, maybe Fan Ye really doesn't want to be an official anymore. Think about it—it's normal; every day he does work that offends people, living on edge. If it weren't for his red family pedigree and his private bodyguard team, he'd have been taken out long ago, and the grass on his grave would be at least two meters high.

Lao Xie, you wouldn't support his resignation, would you?

Whether I support it or not isn't important; one thing is certain—as long as the old sir is alive for a day, he definitely won't agree.

Ah, that hits home! How many more years can the old sir live?

Lao Ba, watch your mouth—don't just blurt out whatever comes to mind.

I don't mean to curse the old sir; I'm just worried. The day the old sir passes, Fan Ye will quit his post immediately. For the oppressed common folk, that's actually a loss. There are so many tigers and flies, and not everyone in the anti-corruption system dares to arrest and eliminate whomever they please like Fan Ye does.

You need to tell Fan Ye about this; what's the point of complaining to me?

Never mind.

After this phone call, Lao Ba was still worried sick.

He squatted at the bank entrance, glumly smoking.

Whether he previously served the country in the army or now serves Lin Dongfan, he reminds himself each morning: "Lao Ba, your fault tolerance is zero!"

Because life only comes once, a mistake could cost one's life.

He hesitated again and again.

Lao Ba finally called Chu Lingxi: "Hey, sister-in-law, are you looking after the kids? … Oh, you're watching a dance performance? … There's something, a matter of life and death, hard to say… Well, lately he's been flirting with the enemy's daughter… No, sister-in-law, flirting is just flirting, we haven't slept together, really… Sister-in-law, listen to me, hello? Hello…"

The call ended, Lao Ba's heart was pounding, and the sister-in-law's reaction completely exceeded his expectations.

Wasn't she supposed to be sweet and naive?

How can she be so fierce?

Lao Ba propped his forehead with his palm, head bowed in painful realization: "Careless, sister-in-law is already a mother of two, the household is chaotic every day, how could she still have her former good temper?"
