Night, the lights flickered.
Lin Fan arrived at Tianpin Pavilion as promised, taking in the ornately carved and painted decor. It was here that Guo Baoming had toyed with Xu Jiaojiao last time, and today, it was anyone's guess what kind of trickery might unfold at the dinner table.
Guided by the waitstaff to the private room's entrance, Lin Fan, stripped of his phone once again, pushed open the heavy door.
Inside the private room, there weren't as many people as last time, yet there was Xu Jiaojiao, wearing a black cocktail dress, smiling warmly at Lin Fan as he entered. Besides her, two other women of about the same age flanked Guo Baoming, still clothed for now, though that wasn't guaranteed to last.
"Deputy County Magistrate Lin, you've been quite busy lately!"
Guo Baoming smiled at Lin Fan as he walked in. The place setting beside Xu Jiaojiao, who was sitting opposite him, indicated the seat was reserved for Lin Fan.
