Chapter 614: Chapter 614 Huo Ben’s Threat

Lin Fan instinctively checked the time; it had only been two hours since Huo Ben had left.

That meant, after getting back, the fellow had headed straight for his tea house without going anywhere else.

This caused Lin Fan’s heart to tighten. "Get Huo Ben on the phone."

"Okay, hold on a moment!"

Zhu Zhixuan replied, and after a while, Huo Ben’s voice came through the phone.

"County Magistrate Lin, I must say, you’ve done a nice job with this tea house. I’d wanted to visit even before I entered, but unfortunately, the city police had held me for a few days. So, when I got back, I headed straight here. The tea is fragrant, and even the proprietress and the waitresses are so beautiful—You sure know how to play."

"Business welcomes guests from all directions; if Boss Huo likes it, feel free to come by and have tea at my tea house whenever you’re free. After all, drinking tea is better for keeping health than drinking liquor. Order whatever you want, it’s on me."

Clearly, the other party was threatening him, but with no evidence, Lin Fan couldn’t afford to confront him head-on.

"No need, I’ve been cooped up these past days and it has been quite torturous. So, I need to hurry after having tea. I heard the Cultural Troupe has brought a few beauties; I must go and feast my eyes. But I’ll definitely visit often—for starters, I’ll get a membership card worth five hundred thousand as a gesture to support you, County Magistrate Lin."

Huo Ben’s combined tactic of grace and menace made Lin Fan frown slightly. It was evident that he not only knew about Lin’s tea house but also that Bai Xue from the Cultural Troupe was his woman; this was his way of telling him he knew everything.
