The police station.

Liu Xiao Tian was organizing his case files. Among these cases, there were many unsolved mysteries throughout the whole nation.

A particular case which had not been solved yet caught his attention.

“Financial genius Shi Yun. Left his company in May last year. Did his emigration procedures and vanished since with no traces.”

Liu Xiao tian looked at this case and found it very strange. For such an important person to disappear mysteriously after leaving the country, how was that possible?

Moreover, there had even been follow-up investigations. Even after liaising with the international police, they still couldn’t find him.

Hence, this file had been here the whole time. It hadn’t been solved since.

*Ring ring*

The phone rang.

Liu Xiao Tian lit up his cigarette before looking at his phone display. He couldn’t help but smile. It was a call from Master Lin.

He was extremely grateful to Lin Fan. Ever since getting to know him, Liu Xiao Tian’s luck had been great.

For him to have attained his position as Deputy Bureau Chief, it was due in large part to the numerous cases that Master Lin had helped him to crack.

“What is it, Master Lin?” after answering the call, he asked with a smile.

“Inspector Liu, save me…” Lin Fan cried out.

At that moment, Liu Xiao Tian’s expression turned grave. For Master Lin to be crying for help, something severe must have happened. Then, he asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Lin Fan said, “No, nothing happened. But please come by tomorrow to help me out. I really can’t take it anymore. I’ve come across a multi-level marketer and he’s the type that won’t rest until I’ve been converted.”

“Multi-level marketer?” Liu Xiao Tian was taken aback. He felt that it was strange. Which dumbass would try to recruit Master Lin into multi-level marketing?

Wasn’t that just asking for death?

“Yeah! There are an old man and a young lady. Don’t you think they’re strange? They’re asking me to join a research for immortality. That’s f*cking insane,” said Lin Fan helplessly.

“Huh?” Liu Xiao Tian was stunned. Then, he burst into laughter. “Haha, Master Lin, did you say they’re asking you to research immortality?”

He wondered if he had misheard that.

Hearing Liu Xiao Tian’s laugh, Lin Fan was annoyed. “Inspector Liu, please be more serious. I’m reporting a case here.”

“Alright, alright. I have to be serious.” Liu Xiao Tian still couldn’t contain his laughter. He felt that this situation was really amusing.

Looking for Master Lin to research immortality. What kind of brain must this person have to think of that?

But it does make sense. Master Lin is so amazing, he might just be able to discover the key to immortality. When that happens, we’ll be able to enjoy some glory as well.

“Are you listening?” Lin Fan prompted.

Liu Xiao Tian replied, “I am, I am.”

He couldn’t let Master Lin know that he had been daydreaming. That would upset Master Lin for sure.

Moreover, he started to view this matter more seriously. After all, something really didn’t feel right. “Master Lin, how should we locate this person?”

Lin Fan replied, “Send someone to Cloud Street to wait out tomorrow. That old man will be coming.”

Liu Xiao Tian said, “Alright then. Don’t worry. I’ll go there personally tomorrow. I’ll see just what there is to research about immortality.”

Lin Fan said, “Alright. My safety depends on you. I have to admit, who doesn’t want immortality, right? But he has to at least look reliable. He even said that he’s from overseas. I really have nothing to say to that.”

The next day!

Cloud Street.

Lin Fan was waiting in his shop. Let’s see if the old man will be able to leave today if he comes again.

Immortality?

Does he think he can f*cking defy nature?

Zhao Zhong Yang sat on the chair, playing with his phone. “Brother Lin, is that old man going to come today or not?”

Lin Fan replied, “Just wait. I have a feeling that he will come for sure.”

Fraud Tian muttered, “I chatted with that old man for a while yesterday. I feel that his idea of immortality is actually quite reliable. Even I was moved by his idea.”

Zhao Zhong Yang taunted, “Why don’t you join him then?”

Fraud Tian looked annoyed. “When he asked me what I know, I said I don’t know anything. After that, he didn’t talk to me anymore.”

“Haha, when he saw that you don’t know anything but still wanted to attain immortality, he must’ve thought you were dreaming!” Zhao Zhong Yang roared with laughter.

Fraud Tian glanced at him. “Laugh. All you know is how to laugh. It seems to me that besides broadcasting, you don’t know anything else either.”

*Cough cough*

Then, the sound of coughing could be heard. Everyone looked outside. The old man was here again.

And this time, he walked into the shop with a big smile. “Master Lin, have you considered it? If you still have any doubts, you can follow me to America and go have a look at my place. It will definitely leave you satisfied.”

Lin Fan looked at the old man and couldn’t help but laugh. “Why don’t I help you read your fortune?”

The old man was taken aback. “Why would you need to read my fortune, Master Lin?”

Lin Fan shook his head, then rubbed his fingers together in an act. “I just did a reading. You’ll be faced with imprisonment, do you believe me?”

The old man laughed. “Master Lin, you really know how to joke. Why don’t we get down to business? Even though immortality might seem like a joke, with Master Lin’s understanding of Chinese medicine, you must understand the profoundness of the human body. Immortality isn’t just blind talk. It can be proven by science.”

“I have to fly back tonight. Please consider it seriously. The opportunity is right in front of you. If you miss out, you may regret it for the rest of your life,” the old man said with a calm and regretful tone.

It was as if he knew that if Lin Fan rejected, he would lose out on something of insurmountable importance.

…

“Master Lin…” At that moment, Liu Xiao Tian entered with two police officers. When he entered, he gazed at the old man as if he was sizing him up.

When Lin Fan saw that Liu Xiao Tian had come, he instantly started laughing. “You came just in time. Hurry up and bring this multi-level marketer back for questioning.”

Liu Xiao Tian went in front of the old man. “Please show us your ID.”

“ID?” The old man was startled. Then, he shook his head. “I’m a Chinese American. I don’t have an ID.”

“Also, I’m not a multi-level marketer. I’m the person-in-charge of IOA Human Genome Corporation. I came to Shanghai to invite Master Lin to join our corporation to research the wonders of the human body together and to find the key to immortality as soon as possible,” facing the policemen, the old man spoke indifferently.

Liu Xiao Tian laughed. “Immortality? It seems to me that you are a multi-level marketer. Bring him back for investigations.”

The two police officers immediately apprehended the old man. To them, there was something not right about this old man.

The old man was enraged. “You can’t do this. Let go of me. Hurry up and let go of me!”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “Hurry up and take him away. This old man is quite terrifying.”

Without hesitation, Liu Xiao Tian signaled the police officers to take him away. Then, he looked at Lin Fan. “Master Lin, your fame must have become so great that people have started to target you.”

Lin Fan sighed helplessly. “That’s enough. I feel like my intelligence is being made fun of now.”
