After leaving Phoenix Tailor Shop, Lin Fan planned to ask around the street if there were any other tailors nearby with good skills.
As a result, he had only taken two steps outside when two figures pounced on him with such speed that they startled him!
"Hey, young man, I've finally found you!"
After a moment of clarity, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Boss Huang, Brother Hu, what are you doing here?"
"Judging from your words, have you been looking for me all this time?"
Hu Ba didn't answer the question first, but walked over to Lin Fan and gave him a big bear hug.
Then Huba took two steps back, bowed to Lin Fan with a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) salute, and solemnly said, "Young brother, I have nothing more to say!"
"You saved my life. From now on, you are my brother, Huba. In Liangshan County, as long as I have a bite to eat, you will never starve!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately understood that his reminder from that day had worked!
Thinking of this, Lin Fan looked at Huba and smiled, "Brother Huba, you're too kind. I only got the information by chance."
"Besides, Brother Hu and I will be working together in the future, so naturally I can't just stand by and watch something happen to you!"
Huba patted Lin Fan's shoulder hard and said seriously, "Don't worry, little brother, I'll take care of everything you need from now on!"
"You really saved my life and the lives of a bunch of my brothers this time. If it weren't for you, we would all be dead by now!"
Huba still felt lingering fear when he recalled that day.
Those were all special police officers armed with real guns and ammunition; their presence and equipment were intimidating just to look at.
It's unimaginable what would have happened to them if they hadn't been caught red-handed without Lin Fan's reminder.
"Brother Hu, let's not dwell on this. I wonder what brings you and Boss Huang to see me?"
When this was mentioned, Huba slapped his forehead, leaned closer to Lin Fan, and looked at him with a slightly mysterious expression.
"Young man, a very important person wants to see you!"
"Big man?"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought.
It seems that the big shot Huba mentioned is his protector.
No wonder Huba was so polite to him after they met today. It might not just be because he saved Huba's life, but it could also be related to this incident.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan also lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hu, what kind of important person is he? Is it convenient for you to tell me?"
Huba nodded and chuckled, "Of course it's convenient. You're going to meet him anyway, and you'll find out his identity sooner or later."
Then Huba leaned close to Lin Fan's ear and whispered a few words.
"It's the deputy director of the security inspection bureau!"
Upon hearing this title, Lin Fan's eyelids twitched, and he felt a sense of dread.
No wonder Huba dared to act recklessly in Liangshan County, selling these strange and unusual shady products, even various fake certificates, and reselling all sorts of rare items.
Behind the emotional entanglement stood a deputy director of the security inspection bureau.
The Safety Inspection Bureau is specifically responsible for safety production and inspection in various industries.
Take Lin Fan from his previous life as an example. Doing various businesses inevitably involved dealing with people from the security inspection bureau, and he often had to make deals with them. Therefore, he had some impression of the people from the security inspection bureau in Liangshan County.
If I remember correctly, the current deputy director of the Liangshan County Safety Inspection Bureau seems to be surnamed Zhou.
However, for some reason, this Deputy Director Zhou was imprisoned not long afterward, so that after Lin Fan made his business successful, he was in contact with someone else.
"and many more!"
"If I hadn't intervened, Huba would have been in deep trouble this time. Not long after Huba's downfall, this Deputy Director Zhou also went to jail. Could it be that..."
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, and a possibility immediately came to mind.
Could it be that my attempt to win over Huba this time has also saved Deputy Director Zhou in the process?
This also explains why such an important person would suddenly want to see you.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan looked at Huba and tentatively asked, "Brother Hu, what does Deputy Director Zhou want with me?"
Huba didn't answer directly, but waved his hand and said, "How could I dare to ask about such a thing? You'll find out when you get there. But I've already spoken with Deputy Director Zhou. If you don't want to see him, he won't force you!"
"So, do you want to go see him?"
Lin Fan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, of course I'll go. It's a favor that Deputy Director Zhou wants to see me, how can I not go?"
Upon hearing this, Huba immediately laughed and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder with satisfaction, saying, "You're a shrewd guy. Don't worry, Deputy Director Zhou won't make things difficult for you. Come with me!"
"Okay bro!"
……
About half an hour later, Lin Fan had moved from the entrance of Phoenix Tailor Shop to another location.
"Security Inspection Bureau Family Compound!"
That's right, government agencies in this era already have their own residential communities.
No matter how rich or powerful these people are, they usually don't live in any unusual way; they all live in these seemingly ordinary family compounds.
Huba, familiar with the area, led Lin Fan around the residential compound, finally stopping at the innermost building and taking him into a room on the third floor.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Is Director Zhou here? This is Xiao Hu!"
Standing in front of the door, Huba carefully knocked and spoke softly.
The next moment, the door was opened, and a woman who looked like a nanny stood in the doorway.
"Director Zhou isn't here, but his wife is inside. He instructed me to bring the director's guest in."
Upon hearing this, Huba nodded, then looked at Lin Fan beside him and instructed, "Then you go inside and wait. I'll wait for you at the gate outside the family compound."
"okay!"
After Huba left, Lin Fan was led inside by the nanny.
The furnishings in Deputy Director Zhou's home were relatively simple, without any expensive or fancy decorations.
A lady sat on a simple sofa in the living room.
This lady, in her late thirties or early forties, had long, wavy hair, a tall and voluptuous figure, and wore a purple dress. She was dignified and elegant, and her appearance could be considered average.
Upon seeing Lin Fan enter, the noblewoman leaned back slightly, crossed her arms, and looked him up and down.
Lin Fan stood before the woman with a faint smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant, staring at the table in front of the noble lady, not daring to look around.
"Hmm...not bad, a good young man."
After observing him for a while, Mrs. Zhou praised Lin Fan.
It has to be said that Lin Fan's appearance is indeed extremely outstanding. At least after living in the county town for so long, he has met many new people coming and going on the street, but he can't find one who is obviously better looking than him.
