Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Crime of Embracing Jade "Okay, then let’s skip that, I’ll show you around the new house." Accompanied by two engineers, Lin Fan also entered the wooden two-story house. At this moment, in the spacious and bright living room, rosewood furniture had already been laid out, and the modern kitchen bid farewell to the firewood stove. It was all equipped with smart kitchen appliances. The ground floor not only had a dining room cabinet and a bathroom but also a specially reserved room for the elderly parents so they could avoid going up and down the stairs, completing all their life needs on the first floor. The second floor was reserved for Lin Fan’s own rooms. Apart from a large bedroom and a walk-in closet with en-suite bathroom, there was also a study and a gym. As for the remaining two rooms, they could be used as guest rooms. They were installed with projectors and sound systems that could double as a home theater and could, in the future, be converted into nurseries. Of course, the yard not only contained this two-story house but also a row of garages and a sunroom. Even small facilities like a chicken coop had already been arranged. Thanks to Xue Changchun’s operations, Lin Fan’s home had become a future rural demonstration site. This way, everything was reasonable and lawful. Occasionally cooperating with so-called observation groups, there was nothing to pick on. "Right, everything is perfect. Thanks for your hard work." Lin Fan shook hands with the two engineers. This house, equipped with its own air energy, could ensure his parents stayed warm and cozy even through the winter without needing to burn firewood. "It’s no trouble at all. If there are any problems in the future, you can always contact us." The two of them showed Lin Fan great respect. After exchanging pleasantries, they finally left. However, the villagers gathered at the door were reluctant to leave, especially after they saw Lin Fan sending off people. Two individuals immediately stepped out from the crowd with their hands in their pockets, offering Lin Fan grim smiles. "Lin Fan, according to village tradition, when a new house is built, you should treat the whole village to a meal. Where do you plan to invite everyone today?" "That’s right. With such a nice house, you should at least treat us for three days. Where exactly will the banquet be held?" These two were well known village bullies – adults who remained unmarried – often behind Cai Xuliang doing sneaky things, essentially lapdogs to the village tyrant. "Before, we used to treat to a meal because everyone came to help out. Which stone in this yard was moved by you?" Lin Fan’s face darkened as he looked at Cai Hu and Cai Changbin. He had ruined the village chief and caught his son; he was the Old Cai Family’s enemy in this village, so how could he possibly invite them to dinner. "We wanted to help, but couldn’t get a hand in, right? It’s the thought that counts. Everyone just wants a bit of excitement." Cai Hu, with a wry smile, had an untrustworthy look about him. "If you’re looking for excitement, go find Cai Xuliang. You’d have a great time in jail together." Lin Fan rolled his eyes at the two and then walked into the house without looking back, not paying any more heed to these guys. "Son of a bitch, you thrive under a bit of sunlight, huh? Fine, you’ll get what’s coming to you!" Cai Changbin spit out in anger and strode away. Not getting what they wanted, the two directly headed for Cai Xuliang’s home. At this moment, Cai Xuliang’s sister, Cai Jing, with a full face of worry, was sitting in the yard. Seeing the two of them approaching, she wasn’t exactly welcoming. "Girl, do you know about Lin Fan’s house renovation? That guy caused chaos for the Old Cai Family, and yet he’s moved into a new house; we can’t let this grievance go just like that." Cai Hu squatted next to Cai Jing and while speaking, he couldn’t resist taking a deep breath. Twenty-four-year-old Cai Jing was quite attractive indeed. "My father and brother have been arrested. What else can you do besides running your mouths?" Cai Jing rolled her eyes at them; the Cai Family’s world was collapsing. "I do have a plan, though. It might not save the village chief, but it can definitely send that Lin surname to jail. Then his parents will have to compensate you with their new house." Cai Changbin’s face twisted into a sinister grin as he blinked. This guy had come up with a scheme. "What plan?" Hearing this, Cai Jing’s eyes widened. Not to mention the hatred for her father and brother being imprisoned, Lin Fan’s new house had already become the envy of the village. Cai Jing had also sneakily taken a look herself; that environment was comparable to Peach Garden, and she couldn’t help but daydream. "Ever heard of the ’Immortal Jump’?" Cai Changbin was infamously cunning, his head full of all kinds of shady ideas. He looked at Chen Jing’s tempting face and whispered mysteriously. "Just spit it out, don’t beat around the bush!" After graduating from high school, Cai Jing had married directly and was clueless about these underworld terms. "It’s simple, really..." Cai Changbin leaned close to her ear and murmured a few sentences. After he finished, Cai Jing’s eyes widened in shock. "Let me think about it... you guys go ahead." "You better think fast; we’re all busy people." Cai Changbin and Cai Hu left the Cai Family home with sly smiles, and on their way home, Cai Hu couldn’t help asking, "Bro, do you think Cai Jing will agree to seduce Lin Fan?" "Of course, she will. After all, that little minx isn’t exactly innocent. Once we get the photos, he’s as good as dead." Cai Changbin was still recalling the fragrance he smelled when he leaned close to Cai Jing and didn’t notice that somewhere not too far away, a figure was standing, having overheard their entire conversation about the ’Immortal Jump.’
