The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official

Chapter 846: Chapter 846: A Matter of Life and Death The pitch-black village was filled with noise.

Huo Ben's men were searching every household one by one.

The villagers dared not speak up even though they were furious, for everyone knew the authority of Boss Huo.

In the meantime, Lin Fan parked his car under an old locust tree at the edge of the village. With the headlights off, darkness temporarily returned to the surroundings, which remained quiet.

"Click!" About five minutes later, a slight noise cfrom the car door, followed by the passenger seat and back seat doors being opened. Chu Shiyuan got into the car with two panicked women and the scrawny Xiao Lan.

"These are the twin sisters that County Magistrate Luan was keeping outside. This was originally her distant grandmother's village. We had just arrived when Huo Ben's men cright after us." Chu Shiyuan hurriedly explained the situation to Lin Fan. He turned to look at the two thin-faced girls. He couldn't deny that Lao Luan had a good taste; these twins were not top-notch beauties, but they were quite attractive for this county.

However, at this moment, their faces were pale, and they were trembling all over, clearly in extrpanic. "My nis Lin, and I'm the Deputy County Magistrate. Right now, I'm the only one who can keep you two alive, but I need you to be honest with me. How many years have you been with County Magistrate Luan?" Lin Fan lit a cigarette and took a puff before asking. On the other side of the village, chaos continued, and the intimidation left the two sisters with no choice but to recount everything from the beginning.

They had been kept by County Magistrate Luan for two years. Besides serving him, they mainly shopped and bought things. They knew nothing about County Magistrate Luan's past, but he had been generous in his dealings with them, leaving them with no worries about food and clothing. However, the day before County Magistrate Luan committed suicide, he suddenly called them and said he was in trouble. He instructed them to retrieve something from the compartment of a cabat home, a file along with a bank card.

"He told us... there is eight hundred thousand in cash in the bank card, enough for us to leave and start a new life. The file's contents are also extremely important. As long as we hold it, our safety is ensured. He said that when the tcomes for Zhao Chuanchun to be brought to justice, we must hand this over!" The two women, tears in their eyes, shakily pulled out a document bag from their bags. Upon hearing this, Lin Fan suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. Surely, this contained the documents that forced him to commit suicide. County Magistrate Luan had calculated everything but made a critical mistake, ultimately leading to his forced leap to his death.

"Didn't he ever tell you that possessing these could also lead to your death? Don't you want to hand over these documents?" Lin Fan took the document bag and weighed it. It seemed thick with materials, so he handed it to Chu Shiyuan, saying, "Hurry up and take photos!" "Take photos! This has seals on it that will show if it's been opened!" Chu Shiyuan looked at Lin Fan in surprise. There were marked seals around the document bag that would show if tampered with.

"Let them find out if they do. Anyway, who would believe we didn't look inside once we've taken it?" Lin Fan shrugged casually, saying, "I'm afraid County Magistrate Luan also told you this, didn't he? Even if you hand this over to Zhao Chuanchun, he definitely won't believe you didn't look inside, right?" "But we really haven't looked inside... That bastard... even in death, he wants to harm us... These days... we've been hiding everywhere... It's simply an undeserved disaster... I really want to tear him to pieces!" The woman's sobbing brought a cold smile to Lin Fan's face. He had to admit County Magistrate Luan was shrewd.

"This is the investigation report of a mining accident from a few years ago... This wasn't a natural disaster... It was man-made!"

In the front passenger seat, Chu Shiyuan flipped through the documents, showing a shocked expression. The documents om contained records of a mining accident from a few years ago. It was a state-run mining enterprise, where a gas leak caused an explosion, leading to a major incident. The county magistrate at the twas also buried by falling rocks from a landslide on his way back to the accident site. All the evidence pointed to Zhao Chuanchun.

"Due to the accident, the mine was forcibly closed down. All the leaders were affected, but Zhao Chuanchun, since he wasn't in charge of the m specific work on only received a disciplinary record. And now, there are many privately-owned coal kilns around the area... Zhao Chuanchun had someone blow up the mine to drive away the state-run mining enterprise!" As Chu Shiyuan took photos of each document, fear crept into her more and more. Over a hundred lives were lost in that mining accident, and it turned out it was intentional, like devouring human blood buns.

m "I'm afraid County Magistrate Luan collected these not to right any wrongs but either to blackmail or to protect his own life. Yet it ultimately led to his death. Now, it seems that these documents truly are fatal." Lin Fan took the documents, his gaze turning cold. The black and white text on this stack of papers recorded bloody lives disappearing one by one. Meanwhile, Chu Shiyuan worriedly looked at Lin Fan.

"So what are you going to do now? Rushing in like this, Zhao Chuanchun won't let you go!"
