RedNovelChapter 34: Chapter 34: Revenge in the Cornfield
When Lin Fan drove back to the village, he saw a crowd of villagers gathered around the entrance of his home.
Everyone was watching the busy scene, occasionally whispering and discussing something, and it was not until
Lin Fan reached the courtyard that he realized the original three tile-roofed houses had disappeared without a
trace, and the entire yard had been leveled.
However, at this moment, a two-story wooden structure was being installed behind the site of the old houses. Its
antique appearance stood out strikingly among the village's concrete buildings. Dozens of workers were orderly
conducting construction, several mixer trucks were pouring concrete, laying a concrete floor in the yard, and two
rotund individuals gestured with blueprints in hand.
Lin Fan did not pay any mind to the villagers but walked into the courtyard. It wasn’t that he had become
arrogant since becoming distinguished; rather, over the years he had grown accustomed to the villagers’ ugly
faces. The so-called simplicity and kindness of rural people were only known to those who lived among them.
Hence, he bothered not with these sanctimonious hypocrites.
He approached the two individuals giving directions and then spoke, "I'm the homeowner. Who is in charge
here?"
"We're in charge, but all of this has been arranged by Boss Xue, who emphasized that the construction deadline
must be met."
The two men quickly bowed and handed Lin Fan the blueprints, saying, "These plans were drawn up overnight by
the engineer. The two-story house was originally designated to be installed behind the villa at Tianhou Hotel, and
the construction crew has been diverted from the tunnel project. We guarantee completion within a week."
Indeed, everything was as Lin Fan had expected. After he left to admire beauty last night, Xue Changchun had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot been idle and had planned all this without any communication with him. It was clear Xue was waiting for him
to call.
"Alright, then | appreciate your hard work."
The design for the small courtyard was undoubtedly beautiful, perhaps even surpassing that of a million-dollar
villa. Lin Fan had no more to say about it. He could only smile, turn around, and leave the courtyard, casting a
glance at the villagers still crowded around for the excitement. He ignored them and deliberately took out his
cellphone, walking towards the nearby river.
At this time, the corn had already grown taller than a person. Walking in it, one could feel a sense of ease.
Making sure no one was around, Lin Fan finally dialed Xue Changchun’s number.
"Boss Xue, this surprise is really too big."
"Lin, | just wanted to show my appreciation, and | was afraid you'd refuse. Besides, this wasn’t for you; after all,
your uncle and auntie are getting on in years and deserve to enjoy scomfort. Although Cai Xuming and his
son caused this trouble, I, as the tunnel contractor, share sresponsibility. Hence, this serves as my way of
making amends for the injustice your uncle and auntie suffered. However, acting first and reporting afterward
was a bit improper. Please don’t take offense, brother."
Over the phone, Xue Changchun’s humility was evident. But Lin Fan knew how articulate and knowledgeable Xue
was from dining with him; the rough exterior was just an affectation.
"Boss Xue, I'm just a clerk; I'm afraid | can’t repay such a big kindness."
"Brother, we get along because we click, no need to overthink it. | consider you a brother, and you can cto
big issues, but small ones are no problem. Actually, | have a favor to ask you right now."
Xue Changchun said with a laugh, "I've submitted the project report for constructing Fengging Town several
times, and it’s never been satisfactory. Today, they even calledback to the province for a reprimand. Now, |
heard that when you were in the Secretariat, your penmanship was top-notch. Could you help a brother out?"
"No problem, it’s just a small matter. I'll write it up for you tonight."
Lin Fan smiled and agreed readily. Right now, both were testing each other with small favors, gradually
strengthening their relationship.
"I've left all my documents in my hotel office. Thanks in advance, Lin. When | return from the province, we'll
have a proper drink."
After hanging up, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh. Those who navigate the official circles are all shrewd characters.
Every action is purposeful, yet they make it hard to refuse.
As he put away his phone, preparing to head back to the courtyard, a voice cfrom the cornfield on his right.
Lin Fan paused and listened closely; it sounded like Zhu Zhixuan’'s voice, tinged with sobs, but it was too distant
to be clear. Curiosity led him to part the corn stalks and step deeper into the field.
Soon, Zhu Zhixuan’s voice becdistinct, and she seemed to be on the phone, yet her emotions were
unraveling.
"Dad, am | no longer your daughter... Cai Xuming is already in jail, | just can’t stay here anymore... Do daughters
who get married lose the right to go home?"
"Why should I be left a widow? If it wasn’t for you, | wouldn't have married him. Now that he’s getting his just
deserts, why should | be implicated..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
"The house you live in was acquired by marryingoff. Have you ever considered how I feel... | am a human
being, not an animal to pay off debts..."
"I've decided to divorce him this time... You can do as you please!"
Zhu Zhixuan was holding the phone and crying bitterly.
But the cold words from the other end of the phone kept shattering her heart, tand again.
Just when she angrily threw her phone on the ground, she looked up and saw Lin Fan's face.
At that moment, both fell silent.
A breeze swept through the cornfield, leaving only the rustling sound in the vast space.
Seeing Zhu Zhixuan’s tear-streaked face, Lin Fan suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
They had been desk mates for six years, and he had written to her for three. These memories surged in his mind,
and Lin Fan could no longer contain himself and rushed to embrace Zhu Zhixuan.
She did not struggle, instead allowing Lin Fan to tightly hold her frail body, feeling the warmth from his embrace.
A forbidden fire rose in Lin Fan's heart, and he reached out to lift Zhu Zhixuan'’s chin, capturing the lips he had
longed for, their salty taste now tender.
Gradually, the kiss could no longer suppress the buried feelings within, and Lin Fan's hand slipped into her thin
camisole, grasping that elastic flesh. At this moment, Zhu Zhixuan finally realized something was wrong. Her
struggle ctoo late, as the frenzied Lin Fan tore off her long dress and pinned her down in the cornfield.
Lin Fan, almost crazed, sought to fully possess the delicate body beneath him. His indifference to her resistance
allowed him to forcefully part her slender legs and entered that endless abyss.
