The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"Who is that Dan Tuo, do you know anything about him?"

asked Chen Fang.

Fang Kui nodded.

Even though she was being controlled in the car, she heard everything they said and the calls they made.

According to her judgment,

this Dan Tuo should be a drug dealer from Hongshawadi.

And not just any dealer, but a big drug lord.

Lin Jie had spent a large amount of money to hire him for protection.

Dan Tuo had twelve subordinates.

They were the armed men Chen Fang saw.

The reason he needed so many people was, apart from the escape, Lin Jie brought a lot of wealth, Fang Kui said that after they arrived at this place, it took ten plus people three trips just to move the boxes in the car to the bamboo house.

Now Chen Fang knew the reason.

He thought about it and said, "I understand, he kidnapped you not just to take revenge on me, but also to use your identity to ensure their safety."

Fang Kui nodded.

She said, "I suspected this too, but you shouldn't have come. Whether you came or not, I wouldn't be able to save my life, it's not worth dying in vain."

As she spoke,

Fang Kui's nose began to sour again.

Just as Chen Fang was about to comfort her with a few words,

creak.

The door of the cabin swung open.

Lin Jie swaggered in.

Seeing Chen Fang and Fang Kui next to each other, he chuckled and said, "Chen Fang, see how good I am to you? Even if I lock you up here, I also arranged for a beauty with you, you should thank me."

"Lin Jie, what exactly do you want? If you kill us, my dad won't let you get away with it!"

Fang Kui yelled sternly.

Lin Jie laughed out loud.

He said, "Kill you? I dare not kill you, who doesn't know you're the eldest daughter of the Fang Family."

After saying that,

he waved his hand.

One of his subordinates came over with a tray, placing it in front of the two of them.

The tray had three dishes, two bowls of rice, and even two bottles of drinks.

It looked plentiful.

Quite like a last meal.

"See, you all misunderstood me. I prepared good food for you, you can eat to your fill, if it's not enough, I can have them bring more!"

Lin Jie said with an inscrutable smile on his face.

"You think you're so kind, I'm sure there's poison in it."

Fang Kui said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie

squatted down.

Picked up a piece of meat with his hand, popped it into his mouth, and chewed thoroughly.

After swallowing, he said, "See, no poison, don't worry, I can afford this meal."

After finishing,

he reached to his waist,

pulled out a sharp dagger, and tossed it next to the tray, saying, "However, I do have one condition, as you can see, there's a knife. After you finish eating, I'll come to see you tomorrow morning, and whoever is alive by then, I will let them go, rest assured, I keep my word, whoever survives can leave unharmed..."

After saying this,

he added another sentence: "Listen to what I'm saying, it's if one of you is alive. Of course, you can both choose not to survive, but if both of you are alive, I'll have someone set a fire and burn you both alive here..."

After another round of eccentric laughter,

he pointed at the tray on the ground and said, "Alright, I won't disturb you two anymore, you can enjoy the meal."

With that,

he turned and left.

Chen Fang and Fang Kui instantly understood what he meant.

This was a setup for them to kill each other.

Either one stabs the other to death,

or one voluntarily chooses to die.

In any case, only one person could survive.

This was the grand play Lin Jie talked about.

Indeed, nothing could be more brutal than this.

Whether through suicide or if Fang Kui killed Chen Fang, it would mean Fang Kui became a murderer, even if she didn't bear legal responsibility, she would live under the shadow of murder for a lifetime.

Conversely, if Fang Kui committed suicide, or Chen Fang killed Fang Kui,

Fang Kui's death would also be blamed on Chen Fang.

All of Deputy Director Fang Li's fury would have to be borne by Chen Fang.

Then Chen Fang's entire life would be ruined.

Lin Jie was indeed skilled at this game.

This not only tested human nature but also destroyed the life of the survivor, making them experience the true taste of "a fate worse than death."

Fang Kui's gaze.

Tightly fixated on the dagger.

As if deciding something.

In that instant, Chen Fang saw through her thoughts.

He quickly said, "Come, let's eat, eat to the full."

Fang Kui's trance was interrupted.

She also picked up a bowl of rice and said, "You're right, no matter what, can't become a starving ghost..."

Both of them exchanged a smile.

They each picked up a bowl of rice and began to eat heartily.

At the foot of the mountain.

Lin Jie and Lv Feng stood together, looking up at the distant cabin.

Taking a puff of the cigarette, Lin Jie said, "Ah Feng, how about we make a bet?"

"Bet on what?"

"Bet on who walks out tomorrow?"

Lin Jie said with pride.

Lv Feng took a sharp breath.

At this moment, he also felt that this Lin Jie was truly terrifying.

He thought for a moment and said, "I guess it'll be Chen Fang, after all, he's a man."

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "No one will walk out of there alive."

"You mean, they're going to hold out until dawn?"

Lv Feng asked.

Lin Jie gave a wicked smile and said, "I said no one will come out alive."

Lv Feng shivered.

He instantly understood.

No matter who killed whom, Lin Jie did not plan to let anyone survive, what he said inside was just nonsense.

What he wanted was the process of this bloody game.

He relished the most primal evil within human nature.

Staring at this familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Lv Feng made a bold decision.

He decided to leave overnight, to escape from this demon, otherwise, one day, he would die by his hand as well.

As night fell,

Chen Fang and Fang Kui finished their meal.

They both let out a burp and lay down in the corner.

Looking at the moonlight streaming through the cracks in the wall, and to distract Fang Kui's thoughts, Chen Fang said, "Do you want to hear about my story?"

"Your story?"

Fang Kui asked with a hint of surprise.

Chen Fang smiled and said, "Yes, my story, how I climbed from being a small official to where I am today..."

Fang Kui seemed to get interested.

She sat up cross-legged.

Looking at Chen Fang she said, "Alright, you tell, I'll listen..."

During the following time,

Chen Fang began to talk from when he was at the health bureau, and though his recount was somewhat concise, the whole story still took two to three hours.

Fang Kui listened with great interest.

She truly didn't expect, Chen Fang actually experienced so much.

"After listening for so long, it seems you've had quite a bit of luck with women on your journey. If it wasn't for the help of women, you might have died long ago."

Fang Kui said with a chuckle, covering her mouth.

Chen Fang sighed heavily.

And said, "Yes, I'm indeed lucky, at every critical moment, there's a beauty to help, I think, this time will be no exception, with you, this big beauty by my side, things will probably turn out fine..."
