The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official

Chapter 765: Chapter 765: A One-Year Agreement

"Wu Bufan... thirty-four years old, holding a mid-rank position, deputy director of the Office of the Provincial Department..."

Lin Fan opened the file envelope and was confronted with his own information. However, except for the photograph, none of it belonged to him.

"This is another identity I’ve prepared for you. If you dislike the disorder of Red Flag County, then return to the Provincial City. This position offers few duties and is close to home, guaranteeing absolute stability. Once you get back, marry Chu Family’s Chu Shihan and lead a stable life."

Grandpa looked at Lin Fan with a face full of loving kindness; this was the exit strategy he had prepared for him.

"So, you had this fake identity ready a long time ago?"

Lin Fan, who had put the file back, looked at Mr. Wu with confusion.

"This file, except for the age, is all true. Just nod your head, and you can start the job tomorrow. Besides, your family name truly is Wu. Your current parents were once just security for the Wu Family. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask them."

Mr. Wu looked at his biological grandson with a smiling face, but a trace of displeasure crossed Lin Fan’s features.

"Whether we are blood-related or not, they will always be my parents, and I don’t want them to know about this."

"You are just as stubborn as your father. So, do you want to make the switch or not?"

Mr. Wu looked straight into Lin Fan’s eyes.

"By the process, you should be telling me about my parents now, shouldn’t you?"

Lin Fan neither accepted nor refused, just continuing to look at Mr. Wu. noveldrama

"Some things are very complicated, and I can’t tell you much. All I can say is that they were killed by people when you were one year old. To ensure you would not also die at the hands of the same people, I had Old Lin take you to Lotus Town’s Victory Village so you could grow up with the identity of an ordinary person. That was your only chance to reach adulthood."

Mr. Wu’s words once again confirmed the divination techniques of Blind Zhou; Lin Fan’s biological parents had indeed passed away long ago.

"You mean to tell me that in twenty-six years, you still haven’t found the actual killer!"

Lin Fan’s heart felt as if it had been seized in a vice. Although the pain was not enough to break him completely, the bond of blood was thick, and he felt deeply saddened.

"There are many culprits, and they continue to emerge. It wasn’t just an act of revenge; it was more like a war in the shadows. That’s why your parents are martyrs."

Mr. Wu sighed and continued, "This is also the Wu Family’s destiny, which is why I had you grow up under a different identity. If it hadn’t been for your master, Gu Mantang, who highly recommended you, saying you were capable of carrying the Wu Family banner, I might not have allowed you to return to this path."

"So, what does my going to Red Flag County have to do with my parents’ death? Does Zhao Chuanchun have something to do with the killer of my parents?"

Lin Fan frowned and turned towards Mr. Wu.

"You could say it has nothing to do with it, yet it’s also closely related. It all depends on how you see it."

Mr. Wu inhaled deeply and said, "The chaos in Red Flag County is almost unsolvable at the City and Provincial levels, but for the Wu Family, it’s merely a beginner’s challenge. That’s why I sent you to Red Flag County, to test the waters using Zhao Chuanchun as practice. If you succeed, you can formally return to the Wu Family. At that time, I will naturally tell you about your parents. But if you fail, then revert to being Wu Bufan and live a stable life back in the city."

"You used Red Flag County to sharpen my skills!"

Lin Fan looked at Mr. Wu in astonishment. What surprised him most was that Zhao Chuanchun, a figure of such significance, was just entry-level difficulty in Mr. Wu’s eyes. That was outrageous, especially since the malignant tumor of Red Flag County was well-known even at the Provincial level.

"That’s right, this whetstone is barely adequate. Moreover, based on your current performance, I would say it’s measured and controlled, befitting the disciple of national player, Gu Mantang. However, your methods are still slightly immature, a bit too conspicuous. It would be better for you to find a way to keep a lower profile in the future!"

Mr. Wu’s critique made the pride in Lin Fan bristle. He believed that since entering Red Flag County, he had handled things quite well, both above and below him, yet to Mr. Wu, it seemed barely passing.

"You speak so profoundly, I’m just missing an eloquent mouth. Since you say the Wu Family is so powerful, how could my parents be killed? Is there someone more formidable than Zhao Chuanchun in this Provincial City?"

"Indeed, there are many more, and you will naturally encounter them in time. But I’m not referring to the Provincial City; your parents were killed in the Southern Border!"

Mr. Wu’s words caused Lin Fan’s eyes to widen instantly. Combining this with the intelligence he’d previously gathered, he blurted out instinctively, "My parents were from the National Security Bureau!"

"It seems Wei Manman has told you quite a bit."

Mr. Wu looked at Lin Fan with a benevolent smile, and his non-denial confirmed Lin Fan’s guess.

"Dang, so that means Zhao Chuanchun really is just a small fry!"

In this moment, Lin Fan had to admit, compared to the national chaos of the Southern Border, Red Flag County truly was just a tiny place.

"So, I’m giving you just one year."

Mr. Wu said calmly, "If Zhao Chuanchun is not brought to justice within a year, then you will have failed!"
