Chapter 507: Chapter 507: The Second Meeting
"Do you regret it now?"
Gao Man, having re-dressed, had cback, that crisp police uniform looking very solemn, but Lin Fan's mind
was filled with the image of her twisting and turning on the back seat.
"What's there to regret?"
Lin Fan looked at Gao Man with confusion, still pondering what he was going to say to Huo Ben later.
"Regret making the bet with me, right? You must have seen Song Lili’s emotional state just now. We've managed
to match the DNA we extracted from her body with Huo Ben's, plus your testimony that she indeed cwith
Huo Ben, this tHuo Ben has no escape, and you've surely lost."
Gao Man pouted her lips, a triumphant look on her face: "Just prepare yourself to be my little dog for life."
"Well, let's just wait and see."
Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders, and the two arrived in front of an interrogation room. After Gao Man managed
the special approval documents, they both sat down on the chairs, waiting. Before long, the door opened again,
and Huo Ben, in handcuffs, walked in.
"County Magistrate Lin, you really came, this is our second meeting, isn't it?"

Huo Ben sat down on a chair opposite Lin Fan, and after entering without a word, he suddenly smiled at this
moment.
"I remember it’s the third time, but saying it's the second tis normal too, after all, nobody noticed the first
time."
Lin Fan took out a cigarette and lit it, then handed it to Huo Ben, and only then he asked, "I just really didn’t
expect to meet you here, quite a surprise to me."
"So, you must have made a statement, right?"
Huo Ben took a puff of the cigarette, smiling as he watched Lin Fan, but there was a peculiar gleam in his eyes.
"Cooperating with the public security organs is the duty of every citizen; | simply reported what | saw."
Lin Fan also lit a cigarette, after all, this was just a normal meeting, he wasn't there to interrogate.
"The day you took her away, | told you she was going to extort me. Now, as expected, I've hit the nail on the
head, haven't I? So, County Magistrate Lin, these days, you can’t be a good person. After all that, they locked up
a law-abiding good person like me."
Huo Ben's smile seemed to hide something unseen.
"So I'm also curious, considering Boss Huo’s capabilities, we shouldn't be meeting here, should we? Got any
secrets you want to share?"
Lin Fan looked straight into Huo Ben's eyes, puzzled by his imprisonment, which was truly strange.
"County Magistrate Lin, what you're saying... if the City Public Security Bureau wanted to arrest me, it'd be a
matter of minutes. I'm just an ordinary businessman, how could | possibly oppose the public security organs? It's
not just about arresting me; even if they called me, I'd turn myself in."
Huo Ben said with a laugh: "But I've heard that the order for County Magistrate Lin's assignment to the Red Flag
County Government has already been issued, and you'll be taking office soon. It's just unfortunate that I'm in
prison and can’t handle any external affairs to welcyou properly, so | asked the comrades from the Public
Security Bureau to invite you over, as a way to welcyou personally."
"Do you really plan to stay in here forever, not planning to go out?"
Lin Fan clearly sensed there was something more behind those words, but couldn’t get it yet, so he continued to
ask.
"County Magistrate Lin, | am just an honest and ordinary businessman who has now fallen into this plight.
Coming and going is not up to me; it depends on whether our brilliant public security organs can clear my
name."
Huo Ben smiled and shifted his gaze to Gao Man, sitting next to Lin Fan: "Beautiful policewoman, am | right?"
"We will investigate thoroughly and deal with your issue fairly and justly. We also hope you will confess your
problems honestly."
Gao Man said with a cold face, disliking making eye contact with Huo Ben because his gaze always seemed
terrifying.

"Boss Huo, you're cooling my heart with what you're saying. I've made a bet that Boss Huo, with your vast
powers, couldn't possibly be touched by such a trivial case. If you can’t get out, | stand to lose big."
Lin Fan also started to laugh, as the two seemingly engaged in casual talk while probing each other, which was
indeed out of the ordinary.
"Then County Magistrate Lin might need to go to the temple to light sincense, praying the old gods look
favorably upon my years of goodness, to blesswith peace... oh, | meant, to bless that girl who framedto
clear my name."
Huo Ben threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stood up: "I won't waste any more of County Magistrate Lin's
precious time. Once | get out, I'll definitely welcyou in Lin County, see you in Red Flag County."
Watching Huo Ben leave, Lin Fan's gaze deepened. Their second confrontation, and he still did not understand
Huo Ben’s meaning.
"What are you thinking about?"
Gao Man looked at Lin Fan curiously; the always sly man seldom showed such a serious expression.
"I was wondering why Huo Ben insisted on seeing me... He said so much just now but seemed to say nothing...
Then why me!"
Lin Fan rubbed his head, feeling there was a ghost in this matter, yet unable to grasp the key points.
"But what | can be sure of is, he must have the assurance needed to make Song Lili recant her testimony!"
