The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 625: I Have My Rules

In the icebox behind the mourning hall, County Magistrate Luan lay there with his eyes tightly closed.

Ru Long and Ru Feng were wailing at this moment, the depth of their sorrow was such that even Lin Fan, standing on the outside, could empathize with them.

Just then, several cars sped over from the distance, and as the car doors opened, a man in his forties got out first, leading a dozen people toward them. Seeing Gao Man in the crowd, Lin Fan knew that this was the so-called Deputy Group Leader.

"Hey, where do you think you’re going!"

As the Deputy Group Leader and his people were about to rush inside, Lin Fan, with his hands in his pockets, blocked the entrance to the mourning hall, with Da Xiaoshuang backing him up immediately, their cold gazes fixed on the newcomers.

"I am Wei Pengcheng, Deputy Leader of the Special Action Group, and I need to summon Luan Rulong and Luan Rufen back immediately to assist with the investigation. All unrelated personnel, step aside right now!"

The man in his forties, Wei Pengcheng, glared at Lin Fan with a cold expression.

"Can’t you see they’re mourning inside? Whatever it is, can wait until after the funeral."

Lin Fan snorted, everything was as he had expected.

During his time at the secretariat, he had encountered various groups from the province. Although the personnel were different, they all carried an air of arrogance, acting as if their trivial authority was divine, pushing ethical principles while feigning integrity. It was clear that this Wei Pengcheng embodied exactly that.

"What do you think you are, not listening to me? I am executing official business. Step aside if it’s none of your affair, obstructing law enforcement is a crime, do you understand?"

Wei Pengcheng didn’t take Lin Fan seriously and continued trying to push through, but fortunately, Tang Xiaoshuang delivered a flying kick, keeping him out the door. Lin Fan spoke with a stern face, "I am Lin Fan, Deputy County Magistrate of Red Flag County. They are mourning inside, and I don’t care what official business you have, you need to wait. Their father is about to be cremated; can’t you allow them to see him off for the last journey?"

"So, you are Lin Fan!"

Wei Pengcheng narrowed his eyes, "Then you should know what this Special Action Group is here to do. Luan Rulong and Luan Rufen are involved in a case, and they must come with me right now for questioning. It’s an order. If you dare to obstruct me again, that’s knowingly breaking the law!"

"Screw your ’knowingly breaking the law’, Do you have any awareness of basic human decency? Don’t think just because you’re from the provincial office you can look down on people, wielding insignificant power like it’s something grand. Let me tell you, I have my own principles."

Lin Fan stood with his hands in his pockets, staring coldly at Wei Pengcheng, thinking that this sort of individual led the Special Action Group and wanted to operate in Red Flag County, which was utterly laughable. Zhu Zhixuan, who was also beyond frustrated, stepped forward, "Can’t you understand what people are saying? Their own father has died. They need to see him off for the last journey. How can the funeral proceed if you take them away now?"

"Exactly, it’s not like a life-or-death situation. At least let them bid farewell to their father before anything else, or they’ll be forever separated by life and death!"

Bai Xue also stepped forward. This man had absolutely no sense of empathy.

"Lin Fan, do you dare obstruct the ministry’s investigation? Do you think being a lousy county magistrate means you can be lawless? Step aside now, or do you want me to arrest you?"

Wei Pengcheng’s face turned iron blue as he glared at Lin Fan. And just then, Zhao Xiaozhuang’s voice came from behind, "I curse your ancestors, daring to arrest someone in my territory, did you ask for my permission?"

Wei Pengcheng turned to see forty individuals heading his way, all dressed in urban management uniforms, a bit dumbfounded, "You’re city management... What business is this of yours? I am from the provincial hall; are you really going to defy the law en masse?"

"City management, the entire county is under my watch, I don’t care what hall you come from. Everyone here needs to obey, or else I’ll arrest all of you together!"

Zhao Xiaozhuang’s crew surrounded the dozen or so people in a dark mass, and with their sleeves rolled up, they didn’t care who the other side was. The moment Zhao Xiaozhuang gave the order, they would take action.

This scene left Gao Man, standing behind Wei Pengcheng, entirely exhilarated, feeling as though she was internally rooting for Lin Fan despite physically standing amongst the opposing group.

"You wouldn’t dare!"

With the situation escalating out of control, Wei Pengcheng even pulled a gun from his waist, pointing the dark muzzle directly at Lin Fan, "I warn you, step aside! Step aside!"

"Come on!"

Lin Fan squinted, reaching out to hold back Bai Xue and Zhu Zhixuan, who were about to rush forward, wearing a cold smirk as he stepped right up to Wei Pengcheng and pressed his head against the gun barrel, "Go ahead, shoot here. If you don’t, you’re a coward. Come on, pull the trigger, kill a deputy county magistrate. I want to see how you’d manage not to end up sitting in a cell!"

"You... you..."

Lin Fan’s reaction had Wei Pengcheng frozen, his empty gun was only for show, but now he couldn’t lower it without losing face.

"If you don’t have the guts to shoot, then get the hell out!"

Lin Fan pressed down the gun barrel and turned his head to Zhao Xiaozhuang, "Zhao Xiaozhuang, listen up. If he dares step one foot into the mourning hall, beat him to death... but remember not to hit the women, got it?"

Zhao Xiaozhuang clenched his fist, "County Magistrate Lin, just sit back and watch!"
