A Valiant Life

The hospital!

Zhou Jun was screaming the whole way. Zhou Shi Ming was not Shanghainese but he wasn’t so easy to take advantage of. Especially when he saw his son in this state, his heart burned with a fury that was hard to extinguish.

The doctor cut open his pants. When he saw the wound, he gasped. It was quite a deep bite. “This was from a big dog, wasn’t it?”

But what made the doctor curious was that this dog was really strange. The dog had bitten so deep into his leg, it should have torn off a piece of flesh as well. Why was it that there was only a bite mark but not a piece of flesh missing?

“This d*mned dog. I have to beat it to death,” Zhou Shi Ming grumbled furiously. His fury had reached its limits. It was as if he would explode at any time.

The doctor said, “We have to disinfect it and bandage it up first before injecting the vaccination. But it’s good that his flesh didn’t get bitten off. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.”

“Dad, I can’t just let this be. That Lin has gone overboard. He’s asking for death,” Zhou Jun growled.

He couldn’t swallow this anger. No matter what, he had to vent it.

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. I have never been treated like this all my life.

I didn’t just get slapped by that Lin, even some normal commoners dared to hit me.

“Mmm. Just rest and recover properly. Dad definitely will not forgive him.” Zhou Shi Ming was furious as well. This matter wouldn’t end here. However, getting back at that Lin would be troublesome.

He wasn’t an average person. They had to think of a plan.

“They even call him ‘Master Lin’. If he didn’t have this little bit of capability, no one would respect him,” Zhou Jun said angrily. He really despised this Master Lin.

When the doctor, who was preparing to disinfect the wound, heard this, he frowned. His hands stopped and he placed the medication at the side. “Okay, I can’t treat you here.”

The two people who were angrily ranting were startled when they heard this.

Zhou Jun started cursing uncontrollably, “What the f*ck are you doing? Why can’t you treat me? Weren’t you just about to treat me?”

The doctor looked at the two of them and said, “Master Lin is my idol. If you two are scolding my idol, why should I treat you? Get out now.”

Zhou Shi Ming erupted snapped when he heard ‘Master Lin’ again. He pointed at the doctor and barked, “Call your director here right now. I want to see whether you’re really so fearless.”

The doctor placed his things on the table, then took off his mask. “Sorry, this is a private hospital. I am a doctor, but I am also the hospital director. Hence, you’ve already found me but it’s useless. And please don’t talk to me about a doctor’s morals. Master Lin didn’t treat you either. It seems that there’s a problem with you two. I trust my idol.”

“You…you…”Zhou Shi Ming was cursing his own luck. How did things become like this since we arrived in Shanghai?

The doctor said, “Stop it. Go somewhere else. If you try to sue me, that’s fine too. You can do whatever you like and it’ll be fine. I’ll just say this: I can’t treat you.”

“Okay, okay, you’re good. You’re awesome.” Zhou Shi Ming had given in. The people here were really good at bullying others.

“Dad, let’s hurry up. I can’t endure much longer,” yelled Zhou Jun. He was dying from the pain.

Then, with the support of the driver, they hurriedly left the place to the next hospital.

But this time, they were smarter. They didn’t talk about the incident anymore. Obviously, they were afraid that this doctor would be another crazy fan of that Lin.

If that was the case, it would really be f*cked up.

Cloud Street!

Lin Fan shook his head and sighed. Sometimes, things really happened strangely and suddenly.

Then, he looked at Elder Dog. “Doggy, don’t bite people as you like from now on. It’s hard to say if these people have viruses in their blood. If you get infected, it would be bad.”

Elder Dog looked up at Lin Fan and barked gently. He had remembered his words.

The next day!

Lin Fan came to the shop early in the morning. He wasn’t bothered about yesterday’s incident anymore.

That Zhou Shi Ming or whatever was a tycoon and tycoons might have seemed high and mighty to other people but to Lin Fan, that title didn’t harbour much meaning.

The townsfolk were all queuing outside. They were really looking forward to the scallion pancakes.

And within the crowd of people who were queuing, there was an unusual figure.

A middle-aged man was pushing a wheelchair. And in this wheelchair was an elderly lady.

The middle-aged man was watching her with great care and he occasionally spoke into her ear.

“Mom, I heard that this shop’s scallion pancakes are really delicious. If we manage to buy it, let’s go elsewhere to enjoy the scenery.”

The elderly lady in the wheelchair had a bit of dementia. She wasn’t very responsive to the middle-aged man’s words but she still gave a small acknowledgement.

Li Hong Shan had come from another part of China to bring his mother to various places across the country to visit. It was considered fulfilling one of his mother’s dreams.

For many years, he had been grinding at work and bringing his elderly mother around the country.

The destination this time was Shanghai.

Back when he was young, his father had passed away early. His mother had been afraid that if she married another man, her son would feel neglected, so she had single-handedly and painstakingly raised him up.

This time, before coming to Shanghai, Li Hong Shan had done his homework. He had memorised Shanghai’s must-go places. Master Lin’s shop’s scallion pancakes were particularly popular even though he wasn’t certain he would be able to buy the scallion pancake,

However, he brought his mother to come and queue to just have a go.

At least he would be able to say that he had been here before.

Although his mother’s condition had led to his previous marriage failing, he didn’t regret it at all. He only blamed himself for being blind enough to fall for that kind of wife.

Giving up on his own mother and leaving her to be alone by herself, to Li Hong Shan, was not possible. He had quarreled with his wife until they divorced in the end. He independently took care of his mother from then on. As for a future marriage, he had stopped thinking about that. He only thought about treating his mother well until she passed away.

They queued for a while but didn’t manage to buy it in the end. It was a bit of a shame.

But just as he was pushing the wheelchair and about to leave, he heard the shop owner say something that made him interested.

“If you read and understand the poster on the wall, you don’t have to queue.”

He decided to have a go. Then, he pushed the wheelchair to the front of the poster and took a close look.

Lin Fan was making scallion pancakes as he couldn’t help but have his attention drawn by Li Hong Shan. To Lin Fan, filial people were all kindhearted. Even those who had done many wrong things had probably been forced by society to change.

He started looking at Li Hong Shan and reading his physiognomy. He looked very closely.

Li Hong Shan realized at the boss kept staring at him, so he responded with a smile.

Lin Fan smiled back as a form of greeting.

“Boss, how do you confirm if I’ve understood this?”

Encyclopedic Points +1.

Lin Fan grinned. “You’ve already understood it. Wait until I finish these ten servings, then, I’ll make yours.”

Li Hong Shan was taken aback. It’s been confirmed just like that?

That’s really mysterious.
