"Honey, you can keep driving the car. Call me anytime if you need anything."

When the car stopped at the Provincial City, the Gongsun family's convoy was already waiting at the highway entrance.

Gongsun Lan flicked her hair, held Lin Fan's face, and gave him a fierce kiss on the lips.

"Alright, you go ahead and take care of your business. I'll handle mine first."

Lin Fan pinched Gongsun Lan's cheek, and only then did she push open the car door, get out, and stand there watching Lin Fan's car merge into the traffic and slowly disappear. Then she opened the door of the black car in the middle.

"Grandpa."

As she got into the car, she saw Gongsun Changxiong sitting there, his face expressionless as he looked at Gongsun Lan.

"Can you tell me what exactly happened now?"

Seeing his granddaughter return safely, Gongsun Changxiong breathed a sigh of relief.

In the village, he didn't have the upper hand, so as long as he saw his granddaughter safe, he would retreat first.

But now that they were in the Provincial City, the Gongsun family, despite faltering thirty years ago, still held considerable prestige. If something had happened, his granddaughter wouldn't have simply let Lin Fan go after ensuring her safety, so something seemed amiss.

"It's both simple and not. You know about the previous events; this Vice County Magistrate Lin was very impressive in Red Flag County. He immediately eliminated Che Laojiu and Huo Ben and was incredibly close with Zhao Chuanchun and the Qin Family. I thought he was their lackey, so I investigated his background to try and establish authority over him."

Gongsun Lan, after flicking her lustrous hair, recounted with a wry smile, "Unexpectedly, this guy seems uneducated, yet his mind is full of tricks. He fooled me twice in a row, but I also discovered his secret."

Gongsun Lan naturally didn't want to mention that Lin Fan had taken advantage of her twice. Even talking to her grandfather about such things was humiliating, but after uncovering this secret, everything before became unimportant.

"What secret?"

Seeing his granddaughter's smile, Gongsun Changxiong grew even more curious. These years, Gongsun Lan had changed significantly, showing little emotion was the basic norm, but now she was smiling so cheerfully, which was truly odd.

"He's not as simple as he appears. Even Nan Yi and Beiqi are backing him. You must know they are well-known figures in the Provincial City and likely know more about him. Yet, during an incident, they unhesitatingly stood by him, indicating that he is backed by the Provincial City and even Beijing. Thus, his purpose in going to Red Flag County is likely self-explanatory."

Gongsun Lan, holding her grandfather's arm, said, "Didn't father once say that Red Flag County is far from simple? Particularly, the Eight Elders' Council has traces of Beijing in it. My father once agreed to disband the Eight Elders' Council and surrender all resources of Red Flag County, but it only brought about his death. However, this time, his appearance might solve the control of the Eight Elders' Council and fulfill my father's legacy."

"If he's that formidable, are you sure he'll help you? You need to know, the Eight Elders' Council is fraught with danger. I'm most worried you'll end up like your father."

Looking at Gongsun Lan leaning on him, Gongsun Changxiong sighed.

Everyone knows that the Eight Elders' Council is no longer a collective interest body and has started to turn into a money-making tool for certain families, delving not just into mining, but also gray businesses, which the Gongsun family cannot tolerate.

"Of course he will because he's now your grandson-in-law."

Gongsun Lan's words left Gongsun Changxiong stunned: "Are you saying... you've finally understood that men should marry and women should wed, you can't remain alone due to your father's hatred? This is good, this is good!"

Upon knowing his granddaughter had someone in mind, Gongsun Changxiong was delighted, but soon he frowned and asked, "But the other day when I went to his house, I saw two young ladies, is he already married?"

"Grandpa, you only saw the tip of the iceberg. Those are his mistresses, and there are likely more than just them... This time coming to the Provincial City, he's surely meeting with a mistress, but what does it matter? I'm not planning to marry him, but having his child can not only give you a great-grandchild but also enlist his help, isn't that better."

Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "Next, while he's in the Provincial City, he's unlikely to be peaceful, he's practically a walking trouble magnet, so keep gathering information, and if there's anything, we can help. After all, helping him is equivalent to helping ourselves now."

"Alright!"

Some things are difficult for ordinary people to accept, but for such wealthy families, they're already accepted willingly. Gongsun Changxiong nodded, arranging for people to monitor the Provincial City's developments closely, while Lin Fan had already sneaked into the Agricultural Research Institute.

Through the glass on the door, he watched Zhu Dan in the lab, wearing a white coat. Her voluptuous figure was somewhat concealed, but that near-European-rounded butt was completely undisguised, so he walked up behind Zhu Dan with a mischievous grin and abruptly embraced her ample bosom, pressing that rounded butt against his lower abdomen.

"Sister Zhu Dan, I'm here to deliver you a baby!"
