Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Enthusiastic Residents!
"Ah!" freewёbnoνel-com
With a cry of pain, Little Shuang was too slow to dodge and took a kick to her right shoulder.
Although she rolled on the spot to reduce most of the force, her drooping right arm indicated she was injured.
Da Shuang, on the other hand, was also lacking in strength; after clashing with a kick from the opponent, she kept retreating and positioned herself in front of Lin Fan.
"Your guards are quite skilled, but I’m afraid they can’t hold on much longer. Surrender now, and I’ll give you a chance."
Wei Manman, with her arms crossed, looked at Lin Fan triumphantly. The outcome was clear; there was no need to continue fighting.
"I don’t have those words in my dictionary. What’s the point of always letting others fight? If you have the guts, fight me yourself."
Lin Fan reached out and grabbed both women by the shoulders, then he himself took the initiative to step forward.
"Boss, no, you’re not a practitioner; you can’t beat them!"
"That Wei Manman is clearly a practitioner too. You should run; we’ll hold them off for you."
Before Wei Manman could accept the challenge, Da Xiaoshuang first stopped Lin Fan. Even though Wei Manman was slim, her footsteps clearly showed she had a solid foundation, perhaps even strong capabilities.
"Enough, I’ll handle things here. As we agreed before, you two go first."
Lin Fan turned back and looked at Da Xiaoshuang.
Since things had already developed in an irreversible direction, he could only use his last resort.
"We’re not leaving; even if it means death, we’ll fight them!"
"Yes, boss, you go first. If they want to catch you, they’ll have to step over our bodies!"
Da Xiaoshuang, after saying this, instead of stepping back, prepared to step forward.
"Stop messing around; you’re no match for them. There’s no need to court death. I am, after all, the Deputy County Magistrate. Even if she disregards the law, she wouldn’t dare to touch me. Besides, who said I can’t fight!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist and held it with a domineering air.
"Vice County Magistrate Lin, that’s not how you hold a dagger!"
What Lin Fan thought was an imposing gesture, looked full of openings to Wei Manman. With a sinister smile, she reached for her iron crutch, ready to step forward: "If you’re seeking death, I don’t mind personally breaking your legs."
"Come on, Black Widow, I’m not afraid of you. Let it be do or die today!"
Holding the dagger, Lin Fan glared righteously at Wei Manman, and just then, the door of the tea house was pushed open. Huo Ben walked out with a cold smirk, "County Magistrate Lin, you are the dignified official of Red Flag County. Why bother risking your life in a knife fight? Just ask me, and I’ll have my people clear the way for you!"
As Huo Ben appeared, hundreds of people suddenly burst out from the alley around the tea house. Although they did not look as professional as the opponents’ guards, what mattered was their numbers. Once they actually surged forward, even these skilled bodyguards might not be able to withstand them.
For a moment, everyone from the three parties stopped in their tracks. Though Wei Manman was reluctant, she had to stay vigilant. Once a brawl broke out among a hundred people, it wouldn’t be about martial arts skills anymore. If these people recklessly rushed forward, even those dozen or so guards might not be able to stop them, and with so many people fighting, it was easy for fatalities to occur and no one would be able to justify it.
"Thank you for your concern, Boss Huo."
Just when everyone thought Lin Fan would ask for help, he merely smiled lightly, "It is my duty to benefit and safeguard the local community. As the official of this county, I naturally must stop such acts of violence myself. This is between him and me; I don’t need your concern. Gathering so many people here late at night isn’t good. You’d better send them home; they have to work early tomorrow."
"County Magistrate Lin, you truly are brave; I admire that. But no matter what, you’re still the head of a county. If something happens to you, it would be a loss for Red Flag County."
Seeing that Lin Fan was unwilling to ask for help, Huo Ben had to resort to another approach. After all, Zhao Chuanchun had instructed not to let Lin Fan fall into the hands of the Wei Family. Tonight was not only a crucial moment for Lin Fan but also a grudge between Zhao Chuanchun and the Wei Family, so he cleared his throat, "County Magistrate, if you ask, I’m also willing to selflessly help you!"
"If I let you get involved, wouldn’t that mean I am instigating this mass brawl? I couldn’t bear such responsibility!"
Lin Fan squinted his eyes. If someone died in this massive conflict, he definitely couldn’t talk his way out, so even if Huo Ben offered to help, he absolutely could not accept it.
"How could that be? These are all enthusiastic residents of Red Flag County, who can’t stand watching dark forces threatening their magistrate and have stirred public anger. You ask me for help, and I am just one person. I don’t know any of these people."
Huo Ben had to admire Lin Fan; he was indeed a cunning fox. With just a few words, he had managed to distance himself cleanly. At this point, all he could do was lower his stature again and walked toward Lin Fan, knowing that this man now affected everyone’s network of relations.
"Oh, enthusiastic residents, I like that term!"
Lin Fan, with a smile, looked at Wei Manman, "See that? Don’t stir up public fury; you can’t bear the consequences!"
