A Valiant Life

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

A ruined Hummer stopped by the side of the road.

There were many people who walked by and all of them shook their heads and sighed as they felt that Lin Fan was a wastrel. Such a great car but it got ruined to such a state. How big of a heart must he have had?

“It should be here.” According to the location that Chen Yun Yi said. This should be the place.

Entering the lift, he realized that he actually required a card to go to the intended level. This was awkward. Fortunately, a cleaner auntie came in.

“Sorry, Auntie. I’m going to the fifteenth floor but I don’t have my card with me. Could you help me swipe yours? Thank you.”

With his confident and relaxed manner, she naturally did not suspect him. She kindly helped him to swipe her card.

The lift went straight to the fifteenth floor.

Lin Fan went to room 1504.

At that moment, a man stood in front of the room entrance. He frowned, “Who are you looking for?”

Lin Fan smiled, “I’m looking for Chen Yun Yi.”

The man didn’t recognize Lin Fan. “She’s not here. You’re at the wrong place.”

But then, a voice suddenly came from inside the room, “Master Lin, I’m inside. I’m inside.”

Lin Fan said cheerily, “Look, she’s inside.”

The man took out his phone and called his boss. But suddenly, the phone was snatched away. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t move his body.

Lin Fan blew his finger. “Chinese Medicine is domineering indeed. This hitting of acupuncture points is really reliable.”

Chen Yun Yi opened the door. When she saw Master Lin, she burst into tears of joy. “Master Lin, I didn’t think that you would really come!”

Lin Fan went into the room, smiling, “You called me to come and help, how could I not come? Everything is fine now. You can leave now, right?”

“Yun Yi, who’s this?” The manager, Sister Liu looked at Lin Fan, then suddenly froze as if she had thought of something. Then, she said to Chen Yun Yi, “Do you know that by doing this, you will cause trouble?”

Chen Yun Yi replied, “Sister Liu, I’m really not willing. I want to leave.”

Sister Liu said helplessly, “How will you leave? Will you never come back to the company again? You have to know that you’ve signed the agreement. Even if you get away today, you would be breaking the contract if you don’t come back to the company again. If this goes to the court, you’ll be sued. Would you be able to pay for it?

Chen Yun Yi and Luo Dan fell silent. Sister Liu was right. So what if they escaped today? They would have to pay for breaking the contract. Right now, they were filled with regret. Back then, they had let the joy fill their heads and they had never looked closely at the agreement. Thinking back now, they were in deep regret.

“Don’t be afraid. Who’s your boss?” I’ll talk to him,” said Lin Fan.

“You…” Sister Liu didn’t know who this young man was. Just as she was about to refute, she suddenly stopped and her expression changed slightly. “You’re Master Lin?”

“Yes, I am Master Lin. What about it?” Lin Fan smiled. He was now a well-known person. There weren’t many people in Shanghai who didn’t know him anymore.

Especially those who were in this industry. Who didn’t pay attention to the Weibo trending topics? Lin Fan had been on the trending list numerous times and could be said to be very well-known. Moreover, a number of celebrities hated him just because he always stole the headlines.

Sister Liu said in astonishment, “Yun Yi, Luo Dan, you called Master Lin over?”

“Mmmhmm.” Chen Yun Yi nodded. When she had no other options, she had thought of Master Lin. She had always observed him. His reputation had gotten greater and greater. It was completely different from when she had just got to know about him.

Sister Liu thought for a moment, then shook her head. “Sigh, even if you’re here, I’m afraid it won’t work. The people coming have very impressive backgrounds, I’m afraid…”

Lin Fan waved his hand, “Alright, don’t think too much about this. Where is your boss?”

Sister Liu never thought that Chen Yun Yi would know Master Lin. This matter wasn’t hers to care about anymore. She knew about Master Lin’s status in Shanghai. He was a very capable person as well.

“He should be in the reception room right now, receiving the guests,” said Sister Liu.

Lin Fan nodded, “Alright then. Let’s go together. I’ll resolve this matter.”

…

The reception room.

He Ming Hui said with a face full of smiles, “Chief Chang, Chief Shen, we are honored by your presence. Please excuse me for not going out to meet you. I’ve already made arrangements for today. Everything has already been settled.”

The two men referred to as Chief Chang and Chief Shen were both young. Thirty at most.

They used to be called young masters but they felt that this salutation was for profligate sons of rich people. Then, each of them started a company for fun, just to invest a little to play around. When they went out now, people addressed them as ‘Chief’ and it felt pretty good.

Chief Chang smiled, “Chief He, since we’re here this time, we have to see your sincerity.”

He Ming Hui, of course, knew what he meant. “That’s for sure. I’m taking care of things, so you don’t have to worry. When it’s for you two, how could I not do a good job? Isn’t that right?”

He Ming Hui felt that this was a great deal for him. Initially, with his own abilities, he thought that it was impossible to meet these two important figures. He had never expected them to come looking for him themselves, saying that they wanted to discuss a certain business. And the intermediaries in this deal were Chen Yun Yi and Luo Dan.

When he had signed these two people, he was just trying his luck. He had never thought that such a good thing would come from this. It was indeed a joyous occasion.

He was very envious of these young masters. For women, they came all the way here from Beijing to ‘discuss business’ with him. Their ultimate objective was to get the two ladies.

He Ming Hui wanted to interact with them as well. After all, it was difficult to get into that social circle. It wasn’t possible without having the relevant connections.

“Not bad. Not bad.” Chief Shen laughed contently.

He Ming then asked cautiously, “Chief Chang, you said that there will be another big figure coming. Why haven’t I seen him yet?”

Chief Chang smiled, “Don’t ask too much. He has gone to do something and he should be here in a bit. Also, when he comes, don’t call us ‘Chief’ anymore. Just call me Young Chang to save us from being scolded.”

He Ming Hui didn’t quite understand the situation but he nodded in agreement.

These people really knew how to play. He couldn’t quite keep up with their tempo.

Cloud Street!

“Your Master Lin isn’t around?” a man standing at the shop entrance asked.

Wu You Lan saw the man and shook her head, “He’s not around. He just went out. What do you have for him?”

“If he’s not here, then forget it. When he comes back, tell him that I, Zou Tian Fu, has submitted to him.”

Wu You Lan didn’t understand this. “How strange.”

The reception room.

The door was pushed open.

He Ming Hui was praising the two big shots. When he saw Chen Yun Yi and Luo Dan, he smiled. Then, he went forward and asked, “Have you thought it through?”

But at that moment, a hand came and shoved him away. “Who’s He Ming Hui?”

He Ming Hui, who had been shoved aside, was dumbfounded. Then, he sulked, “Who are you? Where are you from?”

“Master Lin, this is our Chief, He Ming Hui,” said Chen Yun Yi.

Lin Fan only realized now that He Ming Hui was the guy who he had shoved aside. “Where am I from? I’m from Cloud Street. Let me tell you something. These two are my friends. What do you want to do with them?”

“Master Lin?” He Ming Hui was startled. He took a closer look and realized that it was true.

His expression changed slowly. A smile appeared on his face. “So it’s Master Lin. This is a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding.”

“Don’t say that it’s a misunderstanding. I’m talking to you about something. These two are my friends, what do you want with them?” asked Lin Fan.

He Ming Hui was a little embarrassed.

He couldn’t infuriate this Master Lin. Everyone in Shanghai knew how powerful this Master Lin was.

However, the unbridled Young Chang and Young Shen were thinking, “What is this guy trying to do? What does he want?”
