<h4>Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Times Have Changed</h4>


    The mountain forest at dusk.


    When Lin Fan got out of the car, he looked at the familiar courtyard in front of him.


    Several months ago, he and Zhu Defu had their first meal here, and today,ing again, he felt that things had changed.


    Back then, he wanted to ingratiate himself and express loyalty, but he had to admit, during this period, he did rely on him to solve some issues.


    But today, he was here to help him out of a predicament.


    Since he didn’t know the private room number, he could only lean against the car, light a cigarette, and after taking two puffs, he saw Zhang Caini in a long dress, swaggering over with her plump buttocks wiggling, herrge breasts bouncing up and down as she walked.


    "Little brother, waiting too long?"


    Zhang Caini looked at Lin Fan with flirtatious eyes. She had just refreshed herself a few days ago, but she still couldn’t help licking her lips, squeezing herself against Lin Fan’s arm and pressing her voluptuous body into his embrace.


    "It wasn’t too long, mostly just missed you, sis."


    Lin Fan took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Zhang Caini’s waist, grinning as he inhaled the scent of her perfume.


    "You’re so naughty, knowing it won’t work yet still teasing me. Come on, Zhu Defu is almost here, let’s go inside first."


    This secretive ce has other pathways leading directly to the private rooms, designed to ensure leaders’ privacy.


    That’s why Zhang Caini dared to cling brazenly to Lin Fan’s arm as they walked into the private room. Not long after, Zhu Defu came in, frowning.


    Unlike Guo Baoming’s triumphant demeanor, Zhu Defu didn’t speak, but his serious expression was quite displeased. Zhang Caini had mentioned earlier that Zhu Defu had been agitatedtely, to the point where even she didn’t dare speak.


    "Uncle Zhu, you haven’t been looking welltely, you should take care to rest."


    Lin Fan stood up and politely expressed his concern to Zhu Defu.


    "s, letting Guo Baoming host the work, we’ve lost the initiative, now people are disillusioned, the team is hard to lead!"


    Zhu Defu sighed deeply. The power struggle sometimes involves life and death. Watching Guo Baoming rise prominently made him feel uneasy, and those following behind him felt the same way. If there’s a reckoning, the consequences would be dire, so Zhu Defu kept heading to the Provincial City, hoping to find protection.


    "Uncle Zhu is blessed and will ovee these obstacles. Ultimately, the acting role is just temporary. I can’t guarantee Uncle Zhu will definitely seed, but Guo Baoming may not rise either. It probably won’t be long before the province appoints someone else, and he’ll have to return to the same starting line."


    Lin Fan stood up, pouring Zhu Defu a full ss of alcohol.


    "Have you heard anything?"


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Defu instinctively widened his eyes. After all, when Wei Family caused trouble in the Provincial City, it was Han Family that settled it, and Han Family was a key figure in the province. If any news was out, Lin Fan would surely know earlier.


    "I haven’t heard any news, but if he really had such capabilities, it wouldn’t be just hosting work. It at least proves that the subsequent backing he has still isn’t at that level."


    Not in the position, not dealing with its matters, that’s a workce rule. It’s clear Zhu Defu was worried about this, after all, once a reckoning happens, the old ounts of someone like him could be the end.


    "Oh!"


    Lin Fan’s response left Zhu Defu a bit disappointed, as analysis is one thing, reality is another, with the knife pressed to his throat, he couldn’t help but feel anxious, considering the previous incident with Guo Baoming, whom he is sure would n a retaliation against him and his team.


    "By the way, what happened yesterday regarding the Xu Family? I heard the impact was broad, even got the head of the Education Bureau involved, and I heard from those handling the case there’s something rted to you?"


    Zhu Defu, with his background inw enforcement, couldn’t be unaware of such matters.


    "Just a minor issue. Recently, I’ve been helping a female high school in Red g County with enrollment and employment, ended up encountering some troublemakers in the City Education Bureau. I reported them casually, and unexpectedly pulled so many into it. It wouldn’t have been necessary initially, but they insisted on challenging, so I had no choice but to go all out."


    With Lin Fan’s nonchnt remark, Zhu Defu furrowed his brows, responding, "Your little issue has implicated quite a number of people. Old Xu had many political resources in the city; now his son and son-inw are under strict investigation... Do you realize the impact? Also, those so-called pieces of evidence, where did you get them?"


    "From a friend!"


    Lin Fan took out his phone, opened a video, and smiled faintly, "Uncle Zhu, that friend also gave me some other stuff, would you like to see?"


    When the rotating table came to Zhu Defu, the footage on the phone stunned him in ce, and Zhang Caini beside him also dropped her jaw in shock, looking incredulously at Lin Fa. The footage was a video file of Zhu Defu epting bribes, what was he nning!
