Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Mysterious Phone Call
In the villa, the air was thick with the scent of rosemary.
Zhao Jiagi had by now surrendered herself to the "Iron Pestle," devotedly serving without paying any mind to the
reactions of the other two. This long-anticipated moment had her breathing heavily, a trait that was both her
innocent side and her endearing side.
But Chen Jiayi just watched Lin Fan with a puzzled expression, "I already explained to you that day... the reason
was that you had talent but no backing..."
Chen Jiayi wanted to say more, but Lin Fan silenced her with a finger to her lips, "I don’t want to hear lies from
you. | had my suspicions from the start, but | didn’t give it serious thought. After all, you only visited the office
twice and never once looked atfrom start to finish. Knowing Hou Changyao as I do, the self-important him
would certainly not mentionto you, so let's just stick to the truth."
"The truth... might not sound all that believable."
Chen Jiayi's gaze towards Lin Fan grew complicated. She felt that in just a few months, Lin Fan had truly
changed, his deep eyes now bearing an unfathomable light.

"No matter how unbelievable, | still want to hear the truth."
Lin Fan pinched Chen Jiayi’s chin. Her parents were high-level intellectuals, university professors, which crafted
her grace and wisdom. She had a clear vision of many things. However, Lin Fan, having been through several
trials, was no longer the naive nobody he used to be.
"The real reason | sought you out was because of a mysterious phone call the morning Hou Changyao got into
trouble. | didn’t know who was on the other end of the call—not even if it was a man or a woman. They used a
voice changer and disclosed a lot about Hou Changyao and me, including my parents’ haddress and
situation.”
After taking a deep breath, Chen Jiayi recounted the events of that day, "That mysterious caller toldthat Hou
Changyao had been put on an execution list and was certain to be detained. As his wife, | wouldn't face prison,
but I would be subject to revenge from his enemies. If | didn’t want to end up as someone's plaything, | should
contact you and gaveyour full details, saying that being your woman was the only way to ensure the safety
of my life and my family’s. So... | arranged to meet you away from the City Hall!"
"A mysterious call told you to seekout?"
Lin Fan caressed Zhao Jiagi’s hair, enjoying the intimate service of her sweet tongue. The truth sounded
somewhat unreal, but when paired with the sudden appearance of Da Xiaoshuang, it seemed a lot more credible.
"Yes, and that person also demanded that | not tell you about this, which is why | made up that excuse. The facts
proved, as the call had described, that you were indeed as it said, and sometimes | even wonder who made that
call and why they would arrange things this way. But to tell you the truth, the moment | saw you, | was quite
willing to give myself to you."
Chen Jiayi, clinging to Lin Fan's neck seriously, said, "Perhaps at the tit was just a convenient move, but after
getting to know you, | really found you had crept into my heart. At least at this moment, | swear, | truly love
you."
"I can feel it; otherwise, | wouldn't have cback to ask you about the truth of this matter because | always
feel like there's a pair of eyes watching over me, yet | can’t find the slightest clue. But fortunately, it now seems
that this mysterious person doesn’t mean to harm me."
Lin Fan pinched Chen Jiayi's cheek, "By the way, | haven't told you yet, I've been officially transferred as the
Deputy County Magistrate and Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Red Flag County. | discovered that
there's a lot going on in the county. Also, | learned that two terms ago, County Magistrate Huang was Hou
Changyao’s man. Did you know about this?"
"This... I'm not quite clear on that. There weren't many who cto visit us at home. Hou Changyao usually
took care of hosting people elsewhere, so | didn’t meet too many of his loyalists. I'm sorry, | don’t think | can be

Chen Jiayi shook her head. It wasn’t easy for just anyone to visit the City Hall.
"No worries, you've already helpeda lot. Without you, where would | be today? It's just that facing such deep
waters all of a sudden, I'm a bit clueless. Plus, the current County Magistrate said a lot of strange things
yesterday. | always feel like something big is about to happen in Red Flag County, as if countless eyes are
watching my every move."
Lin Fan had already guessed it would be like this. It seemed he had to slowly investigate the matters of the past.
"Honey..."
Just as the two were discussing recent affairs, Zhao Jiaqi, who had been toiling away, suddenly looked up.
"What is it?"
Lin Fan affectionately pinched her slender cheek, the warmth from that call tugging at his heart.
"It's my ovulation day... Do you want to do it withfirst? They say the first try has a higher chance of
success!"
Zhao Jiaqgi's cheeks were flushed as she looked at Lin Fan, her bashfulness tinged with a hint of hope, which
ignited a fire in Lin Fan that shot straight to his crown. With one swift move, he pulled down her sports vest,
gazed at her slightly raised bosom, and smirked, "Why stop at once? You're not getting out of bed all day today!"
