The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official

Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Tragedy of the Powerful Family

"Givea shoulder rub, please? These days without your massages, something seems missing when others do

it."

Qingyi stretched lazily and looked at Xiao Xiao who had been accompanying Lin Fan all these days, so she had

no chance to ask for her help.

"I knew you couldn’t do without me."

Xiao Xiao immediately stood up and began kneading Qingyi’s shoulders with her nimble fingers, making Qingyi

comfortably close her eyes.

"Many professional masters aren't as soothing as you; your hands are truly the most relaxing."

"That just proves I've learned well. My master is right here; do you want him to massage your calves? His skills

are even better than mine."

Xiao Xiao smiled and glanced at Lin Fan, also testing the waters as even the way she addressed him was unique,

unsure if Qingyi would accept it.

"Groom, would you mind givinga couple’s massage?"

Sure enough, Qingyi didn’t refuse but looked at Lin Fan with a smile.

"Of course not, the car today was quite impressive, and | was thinking of how to repay you. This is nothing."

Lin Fan extended his hands and placed her powerless legs onto his own, looking at her slender legs, he paused

momentarily before beginning to knead them with both hands.

"You're wondering why, even though I'm disabled, my legs aren't atrophied, aren't you?"

Qingyi, who had been watching Lin Fan, instantly read his expression.

"There must be daily, prolonged massages to prevent the muscles from atrophying... and | feel like this isn’t

congenital, probably due to an injury later in life."

As Lin Fan kneaded Qingyi’s calves, he curiously turned to look at her.

"You know quite a lot. But as far as | know, didn’t you study engineering management? How cyou also

understand medicine?"

Though her calves felt nothing, watching Lin Fan's hands tirelessly kneading was always comforting for Qingyi,

especially since his handsface always evoked certain memories for her.

"My father often gathered wild herbs, so he was somewhat a barefoot doctor, and I learned sbasic

orthopedic massage from my master. | mainly use it to win Xiao Xiao’s affection, so it’s all just guesses."

Lin Fan's hands gently shook her delicate feet, and it had to be said, Qingyi’s skin was truly exceptional, smooth

as silk to the touch.

"At least you guessed right. My leg was ruined by the Chou Family twenty years ago; my patella was shattered."

Qingyi’s revelation made Lin Fan's eyes widen, "There are people in Provincial City bold enough to harm you?

That takes guts."

"What does it matter if they attacked me? In power struggles, it’s a life for a life. When pushed to the brink,

people can do anything. Just surviving was fortunate, though unfortunately, | lost both my legs and my unborn

child in that mishap, ruining my life."

Qingyi sighed, "If my child had been born, they would be about Xiao Xiao’s age. Sometimes, | really see her as a

daughter, but | only say sometimes."

"You mean, except when we're in bed, you don’t seeas your daughter?"

Xiao Xiao instantly understood Qingyi’s words and leaned in with a mischievous smile, "So what are we now,

daughter and son-in-law, or lovers?"

"Get out, do we have to define it that clearly? Human emotions are complex; sometimes it's better to be

confused and happier."

Turning away, Qingyi pinched Xiao Xiao’s leg and then spoke, "Lin Fan, | asked around about Red Flag County

these past few days. From what I've heard, Zhao Chuanchun’s connections are not in the city but in Provincial

City. He always visits there during holidays, mingling with several powerful families whose social resources in

Provincial City are extraordinarily vast. And, the past few County magistrates were either squeezed out or met

with accidents, surely Zhao Chuanchun’s doing, and you know why: it’s all about the money."

"So, are you suggesting | shouldn't go?"

Lin Fan knew Zhao Chuanchun was not simple, but now he had a clearer picture.

"You could go, but you need to learn how to handle it. After all, the persistent issues of Red Flag County aren't

new, and someone from the province also wants to move against him. Being appointed there likely makes you a

pawn, easily becoming cannon fodder if you're not careful, especially given his ties with several powerful

families in Provincial City and his substantial local dissatisfaction."

Qingyi paused before adding, "Think about it, there are thousands of illegal coal mines in Red Flag County, with

over a hundred thousand people relying on them for their livelihoods. The industry chain has long been

established. Anyone who dares move against him, he will definitely shut down all the mines immediately; legally

and logically it's justified, but the social impact would be unbearable for anyone. If over a hundred thousand

people lost their jobs all at once, it would be a devastating blow. Not just Jiangning City, but even Provincial City

wouldn't be able to handle such massive public outrage. So | suggest you feign illness."

"Pretend to be sick? That could actually work!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan smiled faintly, knowing that playing for twas indeed a good strategy in this situation.
