A Valiant Life

A whole lot of people screaming in pain, how miserable.

The passersby were all shocked by the scene in the stall. Was this f*cker filming a movie? He took down more than ten people on his own and not to mention that he had completely destroyed them. While he himself wasn’t hurt, the people that were lying on the ground were either holding onto their legs or arms, screaming in pain.

Fraud Tian exhaled slightly and took a cigarette out of the pocket of the teenager who was still under his feet. He lowered his head and lit it up with a lighter. Then he took a deep breath and exhaled a large amount of smoke.

“This cigarette tastes good.” Fraud Tian closed his eyes and said calmly.

“D*mn it, he’s owning it.”

Lin Fan looked at Fraud Tian in disbelief. He did not know that there was this side to Fraud Tian. He was actually a martial arts expert.

The way he was smoking the cigarette with that hint of tranquility, he gave off the vibes of a highly skilled loner.

“You… You guys…” Zheng Wan Qin looked at the scene and became even paler under her face thick with foundation.

“I’ll take it all out on you!”

The frightened Zheng Wan Qin charged towards Lin Fan while making threatening gestures. Lin Fan was slightly taken aback. But he abruptly raised his head in a ferocious manner with a menacing look.

“18 Palms of the Descending Dragon!”

*Slam!*

“Remember me! I am also an expert. Do not belittle me.” Lin Fan said calmly.

The defeated Zheng Wan Qin laid there motionlessly. She looked lost but suddenly became very frightened. Then, she started crying. Her thick make-up streamed down her face and she looked like a ghost.

“The police are here…!”

The surrounding crowd cheered.

“Sorry, please excuse me.”

When the police were almost at the scene, Fraud Tian immediately threw his cigarette away and lied on the ground, screaming as he held onto his thigh.

“Help, the mafia hit me!”

“My leg and my arms are broken… broken…”

Lin Fan looked at how Fraud Tian reacted and was completely stunned. It was as if his face had “admiration” written all over it.

“Awesome!”

Then, Lin Fan followed suit. He lied on the ground and pretended to be badly injured.

“D*mn it!”

Wu Bao Jun looked at what had happened and started to scold profusely. These people were inhumane. They were the ones who got whacked. What was wrong with them?

Liu Xiao Tian was praised again by his superior today and he was in a good mood. He had rushed down upon hearing the news of a fight from the public. When he had arrived at the scene, he was shocked. He quickly went forward and asked, “Little Boss, what happened to you?”

Lin Fan screamed and shouted but when he heard the familiar voice of Chief Liu, he was secretly ecstatic.

Oh, not bad, it’s someone that I know.

“Chief Liu, these unlawful people came to my shop and whacked my employee and me,” Lin Fan acted as he spoke.

“Police officer, these people were so arrogant and cocky. They had the cheek to bully such an old man like me in broad daylight. Does the law still exist in this world?” Fraud Tian replied cleverly as he had many years of experience when it came to situations like this.

Liu Xiao Tian looked at everyone and was taken aback too. He did not know what was going on until he saw Wu Bao Jun.

“Wu Bao Jun, what are you up to again? This time you’re hitting innocent people in public. Are you trying to provoke us on purpose?” Liu Xiao Tian was familiar with Wu Bao Jun.

When he was still a city enforcement officer, he knew about this man. Wu Bao Jun and his men had done a lot of bad things. Now that Liu Xiao Tian had become a team leader in the police force, he naturally wanted to teach these guys a lesson.

“Chief Liu, they’re maligning us…” Wu Bao Jun cried. We did not even hit them, it was them who KO-ed us. We didn’t even have the chance to retaliate.

“You don’t have to say anything. Arrest them all.” Liu Xiao Tian brushed him aside and went over to Lin Fan. “Little Boss, please follow me, along with your employee. Don’t worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”

Liu Xiao Tian was still a little doubtful about what had happened as he could tell that something was unusual based on the injuries he assessed. But Wu Bao Jun was the leader of a mafia gang and that was a fact. The cases that were on his record could be printed out to be a whole stack of papers.

Some crying noises could be heard. The teenager who was really cocky got hit by Lin Fan’s Foshan Shadow Kick and he could barely speak as his face was extremely swollen. He could only make crying noises.

At the police station.

As it was being handled by Liu Xiao Tian, the outcome was quickly determined. Wu Bao Jun and his gang were the ones who started the fight and even injured people. Furthermore, the police had found six dangerously sharp blades and tools. The situation looked serious.

Lin Fan was barely injured but somehow Fraud Tian’s arm and leg were dislocated. When asked if they wanted to pursue the matter further, Wu Bao Jun pleaded in fear.

For this incident, it could have been settled privately with money. But if they were to pursue the matter, they could be jailed for three months to a year. Also, he had a large number of pending cases. This may cause him to serve an even longer prison sentence.

But Lin Fan was a kind-hearted man. He naturally did not pursue the matter and opted for a private settlement.

Actually, it was Liu Xiao Tian who suggested to Lin Fan to opt for a private settlement. After all, Wu Bao Jun had been around for quite some time. He would have had connections to help him. Hence, there was no need to blow things up to increase the tension between both parties.

In the end, they just had to pay twenty thousand dollars and Liu Xiao Tian got to punish Wu Bao Jun and it served as a warning to prevent him from going overboard.

In Wu Bao Jun’s heart, he felt that he was innocent. They were actually the victims but they had such a bad criminal record.

Liu Xiao Tian sent Lin Fan off and at the entrance, he said, “Little Boss, my superior wanted me to thank you for the sentence you had written for him.”

“Alright, that’s good. Chief Liu, we shall make a move. Thank you for helping us today.” Lin Fan replied.

“It’s my duty to handle it professionally. Don’t mention it.”

While they’re on the way back…

“Fraud Tian, you were so good at it. Why didn’t you mention this before?” Lin Fan was shocked at how good Fraud Tian was.

Previously, Lin Fan had calculated Fraud Tian’s fortunes before but did not notice it.

Now that Lin Fan had calculated again, he realized that the incidents only happened in the later part of his life which he had missed out on previously.

“Low-key, I gotta stay low-key.” Fraud Tian said calmly and then he saw the red dollar bills in Lin Fan’s hands and said, “I helped you a lot today, you see, these twenty thousand dollars…”

Fraud Tian rubbed his palms together. He explained that he had worked extremely hard and he deserved to get a share of the money.

“Of course, if not for you, I would have died today. But look, now that our business is improving, we would have to spend a lot of money in future. So, I’ll just… give you a thousand dollars first. As for the remaining amount, I will give it to you at the end of the year with your bonus.” Lin Fan painfully removed a thousand dollars from the initial two thousand dollars that he had wanted to give Fraud Tian.

After giving the money to Fraud Tian, Lin Fan did not give Fraud Tian any opportunity to negotiate. He quickly changed the topic.

“Fraud Tian, how did you manage to dislocate your arm and leg? That was incredible.”

“Haha, just a small trick.”

“Then…”

…

Gradually, they walked further and further. Lin Fan was happy that he managed to change the topic successfully.

What Lin Fan didn’t know was that his Weibo had attracted the attention of many people.

There were people who just wanted to watch the show. Fanboys, nosy reporters, and superstars…

The main thing was that the two major events that Lin Fan had predicted both came true. Although it was still rather controversial, many people were completely in awe of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan returned home, opened his Weibo and realized that many people had messaged him privately.

Although most of the messages weren’t important questions, two of them stood out to Lin Fan.

Zhou Li Yun: “Fortune-teller, how did you know that I was going to miss the fashion show?”

Lin Fan furrowed his brows as he felt that the model had a rather rude tone towards him.

Then, Lin Fan immediately replied, “Please be respectful and call me Master Lin.”

The other message came from Wen Chan. Who the hell was Wen Chan? Lin Fan wondered but laughed when he saw the message. This was f*cking amusing.

“You stole my information. I want to sue you. What’s your name and address? You shameless thief…”

Lin Fan replied immediately, “Full name: Cocky man. Address: north latitude: 39, 54 minutes and 26.37 seconds, Longitude: 116 degrees, 23 minutes and 29.22 seconds.”

Wen Chan was far away in Beijing, staring intently at his computer screen. When he saw the reply, he didn’t even realize that it was a joke.

“Arrogant man? What kind of name is this?” Then, he read the message and half-smiled. How dare he test my geography skills? He must be asking for trouble!

When Wen Chan entered the coordinates on the Internet, he started to rage.

“F*cking dog, what the hell is this Tian An Gate.”

Then, he looked at his name and raged even more.

“Just you wait.”

The next day…

When everyone had awoken, Weibo had another piece of shocking news that morning.

“The great director Hu’s latest film ‘The Forbidden Tomorrow’ will have the up and rising actress, Yang Tian taking the lead actress role. Wang Bing Yan did not qualify for it.”

This morning, countless people were shocked at what they had seen on their phones. They felt that the world has gone a little mad.

It’s accurate again! It’s really accurate again! Then, many netizens flooded Lin Fan’s Weibo, leaving a large number of comments.

“Master Lin, I’m on all fours.”

“Too accurate, just too accurate! Divine fortune-teller, please tell me your address. I have to visit you personally.”

“D*mn, d*mn, d*mn! I’m too emotional and speechless.”

“I’ve lost my admiration for everyone in this world except Lin Fan.”

“I only hope Wang Bing Yan is alright, she got dumped just like that despite her fiery affair with Hu Da.”

When the news had been published, the superstar Wang Bing Yan freaked out completely.

Normally for news like this, even if it wasn’t predicted, it would still cause some uproar. But now this news had become the third most searched article. The main reason was probably Master Lin’s prediction. Three out of three predictions came true. The Internet had gone wild.

“Master Lin, don’t let me find out your identity…” the pretty Wang Bing Yan said angrily as she held onto her phone, wearing her pajamas.

When everyone was still freaking out over this news article, another one came along.

‘The National football team got thrashed 3-0.’

It came true again! It shocked a countless number of people once again. Some were big fans of the National football team didn’t know about Master Lin’s prediction. But as they were searching on the Internet, they stumbled upon his prediction about the game.

Many fans were unclear of what was going on but when they saw the prediction, they started to complain.

“D*mn, exactly the same. If I had known, I would have bet more money.”

“Filled with regret, no affinity to win.”

“Haha, thanks, Master Lin. Your prediction allowed me to earn so much money.”

“What the hell, ^ you’re so lucky.”

…

The person who was the most shocked was Autumn Sword Fish Killer.

He had sworn to give his whole life to the Internet and he was busy every day. He had to clean up the mess of so many scandals. And after finishing with one, he often rewards himself.

He made a bowl of instant noodles and added two eggs. It was kind of a luxury to Autumn Sword Fish Killer.

Autumn Sword Fish Killer had saved a considerable amount of money from his profession but was a thrifty man. He used to date girls but he always broke up with them in the end. Even he knew that the main reason for his breakups was his lack of time.

But regarding these, Autumn Sword Fish Killer did not take it to heart. He had given his entire life to the Internet and he wasn’t particularly bothered about other stuff as he still had his ‘loyal’ hand to ‘accompany’ him.

The piping hot noodles were delicious. Autumn Sword Fish Killer opened his Weibo while he was eating.

“Hmm, let’s see how badly my Trolls destroyed your Weibo, Master Lin.”

When Autumn Sword Fish Killer had refreshed Lin Fan’s Weibo, he was dumbfounded.

The entire page was filled with good reviews and comments. The number of people commenting actually added up to over seven hundred thousand.

There were many familiar usernames, weren’t they his Trolls? He had wanted them to flame Lin Fan’s Weibo but why did they cover up the mess instead?

Just when Autumn Sword Fish Killer angrily opened his chat group and was prepared to give his orders, the content in the group stunned him.

“This Master Lin is so d*mn accurate. I believed him and betted 3-0 on the game and won a sum of money for myself.”

“Awesome, this divine fortune-teller actually predicted Wang Bing Yan missing out on her main role and the loss of the national football team. How could anyone not believe him?”

Autumn Sword Fish Killer opened the relevant web pages after reading the messages. He jumped when he saw the two headlines.

“Huh?!”

Autumn Sword Fish Killer jumped and screamed, unknowingly flipping over his bowl of noodles over his crotch.

Boiled mushroom! (in reference to his genitals)

Too good…

Lin Fan was in his stall laughing at his own Weibo. Everything was developing according to his plan. He just had to wait for his popularity to reach a certain level before he could start on his work officially.

Then, he can finally send out his address to get endless customers. Then, his second task would’ve been completed. He wondered what was on the third page of the Encyclopedia. He was looking forward to it.

Then, he realized that most of the Weibo discussions were all asking the same question.

“Master Lin, will the handsome Yang Xiao Liang really be beaten up till he ends up in the hospital?”

“Same, I wanna know too.”

“Yang Xiao Liang’s so disgusting. If he really ends up in the hospital, I will become a loyal fan of Master Lin.”

But some of the discussion threads amused Lin Fan. Those were created by the fans of Yang Xiao Liang, used to diss Master Lin.

“You’re the one that’s gonna get beaten up.”

“F*ck your whole family, I hope they get beaten up.”

“Bunch of id*ots. My idol ‘Liang Liang’ is so handsome, you bunch of ugly fools are just jealous of him.”

…

Lin Fan wasn’t even bothered by those threads. He sent out a message on Weibo.

“For the last event, just wait and see. Master Lin has never predicted wrongly before.”

Lin Fan didn’t care about who he had offended. His shop had a pro fighter, whoever comes to cause trouble would know of his power.
