Chapter 921: Chapter 921: I Bet on Human Nature


In the chaos of the restaurant, Lin Fan and Wang Cangdong naturally became the focus of everyone’s attention.


Seeing the handcuffs only a few centimeters from his wrist, both Ke Yunan and Zhu Zhixuan were somewhat worried. Only Lin Fan looked directly at Wang Cangdong’s pale face with a calm demeanor, unsettling everyone present.


"You are the deputy county magistrate, I trust you!"


Eventually, Wang Cangdong set down the handcuffs. Even though Lin Fan mocked him to his face, calling him less than a man, he still didn’t dare to cuff him.


"Deputy Director Wang, no wonder you’re just a deputy director; you really lack the guts, even your wife Liang Jiajia handles things better than you do."


Lin Fan continued his mockery, with a cold smile as he wrapped an arm around the fragrant shoulders of Zhu Zhixuan and Ke Yunan, saying, "Then I, this model citizen, will take my leave. However, I can represent the County Government and pay close attention to the developments of this matter. If I hear that some people are abusing their power for personal gain, I won’t let them off the hook. After all, I’ve said before, I’ll handle the things nobody else does!"


"Vice County Magistrate Lin, I will handle this impartially!"


Wang Cangdong’s veins bulged on his forehead, but in the end, he could only step aside, while Lin Fan smiled and walked forward, not forgetting to say to Wu Houbiao, "Mr. Wu, make sure you cooperate well with the police in handling the case. If anyone abuses their power, let me know. After all, Red Flag County isn’t a place without someone in charge, remember that?"


"Don’t worry, County Magistrate Lin, I remember!"


With Lin Fan openly backing him up, Wu Houbiao naturally felt confident. He turned to the security team standing aside, "You all heard it, cooperate well with the police, get everyone in the police cars, let’s not make it difficult!"


"Yes!"


The security team immediately took action, putting everyone into the police cars, while Wang Cangdong, who had stepped outside, said to Wu Houbiao, "Mr. Wu, today’s situation got a bit out of hand, so I need you to come with me to the police station to make a statement and cooperate with the investigation, there’s no problem with that, right?"


"Of course, no problem, our security company will fully cooperate with the police investigation!"


With a smile, Wu Houbiao asked, "Should we report to the County Public Security Bureau ourselves, or will the police escort us?"


"You acted heroically and are not suspects, of course, you can arrive on your own!"


Wang Cangdong dared not forcibly escort them as he had been outmaneuvered in his confrontation with Lin Fan, and even if he felt embarrassed, he couldn’t impose personal feelings.


"Then we’ll organize the team and set off together."


Wu Houbiao finished speaking and went to assemble the team, while Wang Cangdong got back into his car, stepped on the gas and was the first to leave the scene, heading straight to a secluded small villa. After parking, he walked inside, where a dozen women in flamboyant clothes were gathered in the living room, writhing to the music.


Seeing Wang Cangdong enter, they immediately surrounded him, creating a feeling akin to entering the Silk Cave. He unceremoniously chose two women to accompany him further inside, while Huo Ben, sitting on the sofa, stood up, "How did things go?"


"That bastard, taunting me in front of everyone, I really wanted to cuff him and take him back to teach him a lesson!"


Sitting down hard on the sofa, Wang Cangdong grabbed a glass of wine and gulped it down. Having lost face, he was now indignant, so he pulled the two women over to kneel in front of him. They understood and began to comply hesitantly.


"It’s good you restrained yourself, momentary anger can’t interfere with tomorrow’s actions. If you had taken him back, our painstakingly planned operation would have been ruined. I’ve endured so long, just waiting for this day!"


Huo Ben, holding a wine glass, smiled and sat on the sofa, a coldness in his eyes filled with endless chill.


"Of course, I know tomorrow’s matter is important, but how come it feels like he knows I won’t dare to arrest him? Could he have already detected our plan for tomorrow?"


Wang Cangdong, setting down the wine glass, lit a cigarette and rested his legs on the shoulders of the two women.


During his brief confrontation with Lin Fan, he felt as if he had been seen through.


"He’s so smart, winning several times over, how could he not realize it?"


Huo Ben crossed his legs, a cold smile in his eyes, "But smart people often have a sense of superiority, believing they have everything under control, especially after a few victories, pride is inevitable. What I want is exactly this state, to give him the illusion of control, only then will he willingly step into the trap, and only then, knowing the danger, is he most likely to fail."


"So, you deliberately let him sense everything?"


Wang Cangdong looked at Huo Ben in confusion, as if about to become the main actor in this drama.


"No need for intentionality, often things can’t be hidden from him, deliberate actions would arouse his suspicion."


Huo Ben smiled mysteriously, "I’ve set up three layers of traps, not seeking a single fatal blow, but rather infallibility. After he escapes the first two, the most deadly strike will follow, by then escape will be impossible for him!"


"Hope you succeed then!"


Looking at Huo Ben’s sinister face, Wang Cangdong patted his shoulder, "As long as Lin Fan is done for, Qin Yushu and I will both support you in joining the Eight Elders’ Council, then you can be the next Wang Liyou!"
