A Valiant Life

Panda Novel

At the dining table.

Lin Fan felt that chatting with everyone there was a refreshing feeling. “Director Wang, the matter has been resolved. Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems. Let’s keep eating.”

Wang Ke Hao was in admiration of Master Lin’s calmness. Then, he raised his wine glass. “Master Lin, I am very grateful.”

Lin Fan raised his glass as well and their glasses clinked against each other. “Director Wang is too courteous. This is something that nobody wants to happen. But when gambling is legal, anything can happen.”

Wang Ke Hao laughed. This topic of conversation had gone a bit far but Master Lin’s words did make sense.

When gambling became legal in designated areas, this kind of situation was unavoidable.

But Haojiang was already much safer now. In the past, money lenders would roam around the entire city. Every day, disasters would happen. Every day, people would die.

“Sigh. In the end, the fault comes back to me. If I hadn’t brought him to Haojiang in the past, he wouldn’t have become contaminated by such things. These few years, I’ve repaid many of his debts. But I never thought that he would actually borrow this much,” said Wang Ke Hao regretfully.

The interest rates over there were very high. It was a well-known fact. Everyone who borrowed money knew about this. At the same time, the money lenders wouldn’t lend money to people who didn’t have the means to return it.

After all, they wanted to earn money too. If someone couldn’t repay their debts, what was the point of lending money to that person?

As for the past, people who couldn’t return money would be killed. There had been a drastic change since those times. After all, what was the point of taking someone’s life?

However, for the money lender to be willing to lend money to his son, it was because Wang Ke Hao had shot many big films in recent years. He had earned quite a lot of money and as such, they had faith that he would be able to repay the debt.

Lin Fan looked at Wang Ke Hao’s depressed expression and comforted him, “Director Wang, look at the bigger picture. It’ll be fine as long as he turns over a new leaf. At least he isn’t addicted to drugs.”

Wang Ke Hao nodded. “That’s true.”

Li Meng Hua asked suspiciously, “Master Lin, this friend of yours is from Haojiang? This person has so much authority.”

Lin Fan chuckled. “She’s from Haojiang but it’s not that she has great authority. It’s just that, coincidentally, she’s the one who manages this business.”

When he said this, Wang Ke Hao and the rest were stunned.

They didn’t have to ask anymore. They already had an idea of what was going on.

Which clan owned the Wynn Casino business in Haojiang? Besides the Yun Family, who else could it be?

That old man from the Yun Family was a legendary character in Haojiang. He was someone that one definitely shouldn’t offend.

“Alright, let’s eat. But Director Wang, you still have to pay the money that was borrowed,” Lin Fan urged. After all, this money had already been lost. There was a gap that had to be filled and since Yun Xue Yao would never ask Lin Fan to pay, she would have to absorb the damage otherwise.

After all, although she managed this business, it wasn’t hers. It belonged to the whole Yun Family.

“Don’t worry. Don’t worry. I know that,” assured Wang Ke Hao.

To Lin Fan, if he were to ask Yun Xue Yao for help and even have her pay the money on top of that, it was unreasonable. Even though she wouldn’t say a single thing about it, nor would she resent him at all, he just wasn’t the type of person to do such a thing.

“Let’s eat, let’s eat,” said Lin Fan with a smile, “What were we talking about before?”

Wang Ke Hao didn’t think too much either. Although 43 million was a large sum, he did have enough to pay for it. To a famous director like him, it was quite easy to make this sum of money.

At the same time, he felt that this trip to Shanghai had really been worth it. Getting to know someone like Master Lin would be a great help to him in the future.

After the meal, naturally, they went to the karaoke. Liu Xu had made great arrangements for them. Although she would quarrel with Lin Fan, she would do what needed to be done perfectly.

The next day!

Cloud Street.

Lin Fan lay on the chair, recalling the previous night’s events. Besides himself and that Zhou Xia Jun, the rest had all gotten drunk. In the end, he had to get Liu Xu to call some employees over to send them back.

*Ding ding*

He answered the call.

Wang Ke Hao: “Master Lin, sorry for the trouble last night. We drank too much and forgot about ourselves.”

Lin Fan smiled. “No problem. That’s how it is when you drink. As long as we’re all happy, it’s fine.”

Wang Ke Hao: “About last night’s incident, I haven’t thanked you properly.”

“There’s no hurry. You’ll be in Shanghai for a period of time. We’ll meet again when we have the chance. If you come across any problems, you can contact me. I’d be happy to help.”

“Thank you.”

They chatted a while more before hanging up.

Fraud Tian said in an envious tone, “You went to have fun again yesterday?”

Lin Fan laughed. “Not really. It’s just that I had a few guests and they treated me to dinner.”

“These guests are probably not average people,” said Fraud Tian.

Lin Fan replied, “You could say that. They’re from Hong Kong and they came here to look for me. I had to give them face, didn’t I?”

At that moment, Zhao Zhong Yang came over with his phone. “Brother Lin, look at the news on the Internet. They’re all talking about you.”

Lin Fan was surprised. “Talking about me? Why are they talking about me? I don’t seem to have done anything recently.”

“No, look at this,” said Zhao Zhong Yang.

Lin Fan took a look. It turned out that it was a Weibo poll.

‘Will the Nobel Prize in Medicine go to Master Lin this year?’

This topic had popped up all of a sudden. It seemed to have gone viral overnight. The number of people participating in the discussion had reached over 300,000.

Zhao Zhong Yang said, “In the past, netizens didn’t pay attention to these things. I didn’t think that there would be so many people talking about it this year.”

Wu You Lan smiled. “I think it’s because Brother Lin developed the leukemia prescription. Just this incident has already drawn many people’s attention, so they created this poll.”

Zhao Zhong Yang said, “It seems that none of our own people have even been awarded this prize before. Even if it has happened before, it probably happened a very long time ago.”

He looked at the discussion on Weibo.

Most people were supporting him.

“If Master Lin doesn’t win the Nobel Prize in Medicine this time, it would really be unfair.”

“That’s right. Let me break it down. Master Lin has conquered anorexia, leukemia and infantile spasms. Especially with the first two diseases, Master Lin has saved countless lives. I dare to bet that this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine will definitely go to Master Lin.”

“In the past, I cared most about the Physics prize but now, I care more about the Medicine prize because this is the category that benefits people the most.”

“That’s right. Health is the most important. Without health, everything else doesn’t matter.”

“I feel that Master Lin’s chances of winning the prize are small because Chinese medicine isn’t recognized internationally. I’m afraid he might not even be nominated.”

“That’s rubbish. I hate to hear things from people like you. It’s as I said. This year’s prize will definitely go to Master Lin.”

“That’s right. If Master Lin doesn’t win it this year, it just proves that this award is biased towards foreigners and it has nothing to do with us.”

Lin Fan looked at this comments and was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t considered this before. He hadn’t expected netizens to initiate a discussion about this.

This prize… Of course, anyone would want it. But he wasn’t so desperate for it. If it were awarded to him, he would take it. If not, it didn’t matter.
