A Valiant Life

Panda Novel

It was pretty late and Lin Fan started to pack up.

“Ming Qing, let me send you back.”

He didn’t really think much about the incident earlier. He had to reject Elder Zheng to stand up for his student. He couldn’t let his student be bullied like this.

Zhao Ming Qing had caught a few big fish and was feeling pretty happy with his reward. “Teacher, come and have dinner tonight.”

Lin Fan replied, “Forget it, I’m not in the mood today.”

To Zhao Ming Qing, he felt that the reason for his teacher’s bad mood was the incident earlier.

Initially, he had wanted to reply to his teacher but he decided not to.

Lin Fan sent Zhao Ming Qing home and drove back home after that.

When he reached his underground lift lobby after parking his car, he pressed the button. However, he realized that there was no response.

Lin Fan was stunned. The lift must have malfunctioned.

He lived on a pretty high level but he had no choice but to walk up the stairs.

“I’m finally back.” Lin Fan pressed the light switch but he realized that they didn’t work either. “Could it be a blackout?”

He took out his phone in the darkness and switched on the flashlight. Then, he moved to the balcony and looked around. He realized that most of the other places were pitch black too. There must have been a blackout.

He walked to the kitchen and tried to open the tap.

However, there was no water. Things didn’t seem too good without water and electricity.

The fact that he lived on a high floor made things worse. It looked like he needed to stay over in a hotel for the night. He packed some clean clothes and ran down.

The next day!

Cloud Street.

Lin Fan hadn’t slept well the night before. After all, the hotel wasn’t as comfortable as his home. When he reached the shop, the townsfolk were waiting for him.

The scallion pancakes had already won the hearts of many and people felt uneasy without them.

Although he set the daily limit to ten pieces a day, sometimes there were townsfolk who could understand the poster on the wall and he would end up selling more than ten pieces.

*Ding ding!*

Then, his phone rang. It was an unknown number.

“Recently, I’ve been receiving calls from unknown numbers. I don’t think I offended anyone lately.” Lin Fan felt a little confused but he still picked up the call.

“May I know who this is?”

The person who called was a middle-aged man. He sounded polite. “Hi, may I know if you are Master Lin?”

Lin Fan was stunned. “Yes. You are?”

“Hi, Master Lin. I am from the local Health Department of Shanghai…” Lin Fan ended the call even before He Jun could finish speaking.

He Jun was dumbfounded as he held the phone in his office.

He couldn’t believe that Master Lin would hang up on him even before speaking.

Outrageous. It was simply outrageous.

Although he was unhappy, he was really helpless. He had just gotten scolded by his superiors.

He felt really miserable too.

The leader had said ‘Zhao Ming Qing’s thinking isn’t appropriate.’ This had led to him making changes to suppress Zhao Ming Qing. Could it be that there had been something wrong with this?

It was indeed difficult to understand the thinking of his superiors.

Furthermore, the leader had told him that if he couldn’t appease Master Lin, the matter would not be resolved.

In the end, he picked up the phone and called again.

If he didn’t resolve it, he couldn’t answer his boss.

Cloud Street.

Lin Fan was fuming with anger. The Health Department actually dared to call him. He felt that they had gone overboard for challenging him with a phone call after what had happened.

*Ding ding!*

The phone rang again.

Lin Fan saw the caller ID and immediately picked up. “Do you have a problem? What do you want? Say it now…”

He Jun had gotten scolded by his superiors and now he was getting scolded by Master Lin. He was furious. However, he couldn’t do anything about it since he was being sandwiched. He could only endure it to resolve the matter.

“Master Lin, it’s a misunderstanding. I am He Jun from the Health Department. I’d like to tell you something.” He Jun wasn’t happy at all. It was pretty uncommon for him to be treated like this.

Those medical directors would always treat him with respect.

However, he was currently being scolded on the phone and he still had to speak to the opposition respectfully.

“Go ahead then. Don’t talk rubbish.” Lin Fan was still skeptical about the Health Department. However, he felt that perhaps Elder Zheng had explained the situation to them.

However, he still felt that it wasn’t sufficient.

“It’s like this. Zhao Ming Qing’s appointment will be discussed further. We realized that we didn’t think through our actions. We understand the problem and we hope that Master Lin can forgive us.” He Jun literally forced himself to say those words.

He had actually said that to an ordinary townsfolk and if people were to find out about it, they would think that he was a laughing stock.

However, he had to endure it and resolve the problem.

Lin Fan didn’t give him any face at all. “All of you are stupid. The final decision was made by you. Now that you realize your mistakes, you should call my student, not me. Alright, I’ll hang up now.”

*beep*

The phone call got cut off again. He Jun was infuriated.

The other people in the office heard He Jun’s roar and they whimpered in fear. They knew that their superior was in a bad mood since they had entered the office in the morning. Therefore, everyone avoided him like a plague.

…

“Brother Lin, who called?” Zhao Zhong Yang asked.

Lin Fan replied, “Someone from the Health Department. The idiot that demoted Ming Qing. He called to tell me that they were wrong and they are going to review their decision. I think they must be crazy.”

“Brother Lin, that’s weird. This is extremely rare. They actually realized their mistake? They would usually cover up their mistakes with hundreds of excuses.” Zhao Zhong Yang replied.

Just as Lin Fan wanted to reply Zhao Zhong Yang, another call came.

“They must be asking for trouble.” Lin Fan was furious.

Then, he immediately declined the call and blocked the number.

He Jun was furious after hearing the sound on the phone. Did the fella just block me?

“He doesn’t know what he is doing,” He Jun grumbled angrily. He knew that his position would be at stake if he didn’t resolve the problem.

However, did he really have to go and look for Master Lin personally?
