A Valiant Life Chapter 975 – I can’t be courteous with you

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Teacher Zhou and Ma You Min were both dumbfounded. This disaster had struck too quickly, so much so that they hadn’t had the time to react at all.

Ma You Min, in particular, had no idea when Master Lin had appeared there.

Also, he felt that it wasn’t right. Master Lin was so famous, how could all these members be so stupid not to recognize him?

He was so famous and he was a living, breathing person who had been standing right there. Could it be that those members only had mysterious elements on their minds and couldn’t see this man standing right there?

If he had known earlier, this wouldn’t have happened.

The police officers apprehended the main culprits and brought them onto the car.

Liu Xiao Tian went in front of Lin Fan. “Little Boss, you’ve helped us crack down on a multi-level marketing organization.”

Lin Fan said, “Even my old friend from Cloud Street was tricked into joining, so I definitely had to save him. However, I didn’t expect that there would be someone like him in the Chinese Medical Association. He knew that he was lying to people but he still involved himself in it. Isn’t he just bringing shame to Chinese medicine?”

Liu Xiao Tian nodded. Then, he looked at the dumbfounded members. Perhaps even now, they hadn’t come to the realization of what had happened yet.

At that moment, some members regained their senses.

“Scam? This was a scam?”

“How could it be? We were involved in multi-level marketing? Isn’t this scientifically proven?”

“I’ve already spent hundreds of thousands. This…this…”

At that moment, an old auntie grabbed Liu Xiao Tian’s hand. “Officer, you have to help me. I’ve already invested hundreds of thousands.”

Liu Xiao Tian sighed but nodded. “Don’t worry. We, the police, will look into this properly. We will trace back the money that everyone has lost. We guarantee that we will minimize everyone’s losses as much as possible.

Those townsfolk who had awoken from their daze couldn’t believe that they had really been cheated. To them, it was too big of a blow.

But luckily, the police had come in time to catch the culprits. They also had some hope of getting back the money that they had lost.

Lin Fan came to Elder Wang’s front. He said in a surprised tone, “Elder Wang, what’s wrong?”

Elder Wang had a look of astonishment on his face. His eyes gaped as he pointed at himself. “Little Boss, you mean that I’ve been tricked?” Then, he said with a little more emotion, “I’ve been tricked into multi-level marketing?”

Lin Fan comforted him, “Elder Wang, don’t be too emotional. Being tricked is very normal.”

He was really afraid that Elder Wang wouldn’t be able to take this blow. He might be emotionally scarred.

Elder Wang said, “How can this happen? I was prepared to learn more and even bring you all to join. Now that this is multi-level marketing, won’t I be laughed at by them? Little Boss, you didn’t tell anyone about this, did you?”

Lin Fan was stunned. He hadn’t expected that Elder Wang was worried about this. Then, he thought for a few seconds before replying seriously, “No, don’t worry. In the whole of Cloud Street, besides me, not another person knows.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Elder Wang heaved a sigh of relief. If this matter wouldn’t be spread, he could still accept it.

But if it were to be spread, he felt that he really wouldn’t be able to take it.

It was too f*cking embarrassing. He was so old but he had still gotten tricked.

Seeing Elder Wang’s expression, Lin Fan sighed helplessly as well. There were already several people who knew about this back at Cloud Street.

It seemed that he would have to talk to everyone when he went back and tell them to pretend not to know about this. They should let this matter end just like this.

Liu Xiao Tian patted Lin Fan’s shoulder. “Little Boss, you’re a Chinese medicine master too. Why don’t you give them a lesson?”

Elder Wang slapped his thigh. “That’s right. Little Boss, give us a lesson so that we’ll be more wary in the future.”

Many of these townsfolk who had been scammed knew Lin Fan. As for his other titles, they might not have known but they knew that Master Lin was a Chinese medicine master.

“Yeah, Master Lin, help us by telling us more.”

“I didn’t expect that this was multi-level marketing. Luckily, the police arrived early. If you arrived any later, who knows how much money we would have lost?”

“Yeah! Thank you so much, police officers. Thank you so much, Master Lin.”

Looking at the eager expressions of the crowd, Lin Fan couldn’t refuse. Since it was like this, he decided to give them a lesson. However, if he followed how things had been going previously, with his Wuxia class of knowledge, he really would be able to do things with the mysterious elements in the surroundings.

“Alright, since it’s like this, I shall give everyone a lesson on maintaining your health using Chinese medicine,” said Lin Fan.

Elder Wang was the first to applaud. Liu Xiao tian was quite interested as well. If it had been any other lesson, he definitely wouldn’t have had any interest but as for Little Boss’s lesson, he was very interested.

The other police officers were detaining the culprits while Liu Xiao Tian and the rest just sat there.

Lin Fan went on stage and thought for a moment before speaking, “I shan’t waste too much time. I’ll just speak a little about maintaining your health using Chinese medicine. There are many ways of maintaining one’s health and this is related to wealth as well. Think about it. If you live longer, wouldn’t you be able to earn more money?”

“When you wake up in the morning, don’t be in a hurry to get up. Lie down and stretch your limbs out. Stretch your muscles and tendons so that they warm up…”

These things he was talking about were just minor things. They were some of the easier things to do to maintain one’s health. This was one of the ways that one could maintain one’s health in the morning when waking up.

After about half an hour, Lin Fan felt that he was about done. At that point, he decided to stop speaking.

But the townsfolk were all relishing the lesson. They felt that it made a lot of sense and they wanted to listen further.

However, since Master Lin didn’t want to speak anymore, they were saddened.

If Master Lin were to start a class like this, they would be willing to come every day.

Outside the conference room.

Lin Fan said, “Inspector Liu, I’ll have to trouble you with this matter.”

Liu Xiao Tian nodded. “Don’t worry. This is our responsibility. Nowadays, there are too many of these multi-level marketing organizations. Most of them are hidden on the Internet and within the citizens. They are hard to catch and we can only rely on the public’s reports.

“This time, we don’t know how much money was involved but we’ll definitely do all we can to get the money back to their rightful owners.”

Lin Fan nodded. “Alright then. I shan’t disturb your investigations anymore.”

Li Xiao Tian waved at Lin Fan before leaving. He had to hurry back to the police station to start interrogating those culprits and track down the money.

…

Right now, the important thing for Lin Fan to do was to thank Chief Liu.

This time, if Chief Liu hadn’t told him about the situation through the phone, perhaps Elder Wang would have fallen deeper into the trap for an even longer time.

Very soon, he found Liu Xu.

Lin Fan was all smiles as he said, “Chief Liu, I am really grateful to you this time.”

Liu Xu glanced at Lin Fan. “There’s no need for thanks. But if there are opportunities in the future, recommend more guests to come here.”

“Hehe, Chief Liu, you really are unscrupulous. You aren’t courteous at all,” Lin Fan said with a grin.

Liu Xu replied, “With you, Master Lin, I can’t be courteous. Once I’m courteous with you, I’ll lose out greatly.”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “Alright, alright. You’re right, Chief Liu. I’ll have opportunities in the future to bring guests to you. I’m leaving now.”

Liu Xu looked at Lin Fan’s back view as he left. Then, she stopped herself from thinking too much and got back to work.
