“You’re letting us go like that?” Wang Ming Yang asked curiously. He hadn’t received any calls from Wu Yun Gang and obviously, it meant that it wasn’t completely settled. However, the police officers told them that they could leave and that puzzled him.
“They’re letting us go and you still want to stay here?” Lin Fan smiled. He was also wondering who were the ones who bailed them out.
Wang Ming Yang shook his head. “That’s not what I meant. It looks like it wasn’t not done by Wu Yun Gang.”
“We’ll know when we go out.”
Outside.
Lin Fan looked and smiled, “I know who they are.” Then, he went forward. “Master Tao, Master Moon Autumn, thank you for your help.”
Yue Qiu Ju Shi replied immediately, “Master Lin, you’re in Beijing, why didn’t you tell us? Especially when you’ve been arrested here. You should’ve given us a call. If Elder Tao didn’t read the news, we wouldn’t have found out about it.”
Lin Fan waved his hand. “It’s a small matter, I didn’t want to trouble you.”
The secretary of the Martial Arts Association went forward. “Master Lin, I am the secretary of Beijing’s Martial Arts Association. Chief Cao sent me here to bail you out. If all is well, I’ll make a move first.”
Lin Fan didn’t know who this person was and he didn’t know who Chief Cao was. However, they had come to help him and naturally, he smiled. “Thank you for your help. I will go to the association to thank him personally.”
It was a personal favor and Lin Fan couldn’t just thank the secretary. He had to thank Chief Cao personally, especially since he was the Vice-President of Shanghai’s Martial Arts Association.
However, he hadn’t expected the association to have so much power.
The secretary nodded and drove off.
“Master Lin, we’re from the Chinese Medical Association. We’ll leave too since you’re fine now,” a member of the Chinese Medical Association said.
Lin Fan nodded. “Alright, sorry for the trouble.”
Even people from the Chinese Medicine Association were there, it had obviously been done by Zhao Ming Qing. Zhao Ming Qing didn’t have a problem sending people there to save Master Lin since he had a close relationship with the Chinese Medical Association.
In the end, only Tao Shi Gang and Yue Qiu Ju Shi stood by Lin Fan. Wang Ming Yang said curiously, “I didn’t expect your network to be so extensive.”
Lin Fan just smiled but as he thought about it, he realized that he had an extensive network of friends. This matter had been resolved because of that.
A person’s strengths are limited and he had to know a lot of people from different professions.
So that it would be easier for matters to be resolved.
Of course, the network was built on a strong personal foundation. If one didn’t have a strong personal foundation, nobody could help him or her.
Lin Fan initially wanted to treat them to a meal but Yue Qiu Ju Shi’s art exhibition was tomorrow and he had to go back to make preparations. Lin Fan naturally didn’t stop them. He made an arrangement to meet up tomorrow night instead. At the same time, Yue Qiu Ju Shi revealed that his friends in the industry wanted to meet him as well.
Lin Fan felt that he was doing even better in the arts industry now.
It seemed a little amusing as he thought of it.
Lin Fan waved his hands at Tao Shi Gang and Yue Qiu Ju Shi when they left. Then, he said, “Let’s go. Give Wu Yun Gang a call and ask him to save the trouble. We can meet up for dinner tonight.”
Wang Ming Yang nodded. It had been a thrilling day.
Then, a group of reporters came over.
“Looks like we can’t leave so soon,” Lin Fan said when he saw the group of reporters.
The reporters charged forward excitedly when they saw Lin Fan. At the same time, they didn’t think much of it even though Lin Fan and Wang Ming Yang had been released.
They felt that it was another piece of breaking news.
“Hi, Master Lin. May I know how you got out of there?” A reporter actually had checked on Lin Fan’s background and knew that he was Master Lin from Cloud Street and that he was an influential figure on Weibo.
He had infuriated Ying Jin and Li Mu Ze before, along with other celebrities.
This time, only three celebrities supported Jin Xuan Ming and the other celebrities just ignored it. There was obviously a problem.
Lin Fan smiled and pointed at his feet. “Obviously, I walked out of there.”
“Haha…” the reporters laughed. They felt that the question was a little stupid.
“Master Lin, may I know your views regarding Jin Xuan Ming?” another reporter asked.
Lin Fan was a little stunned, then, he asked, “May I know who is this Jin Xuan Ming?”
“Huh?” The reporter was stunned by his question. He just hit someone that he doesn’t know? Then, the reporter said helplessly, “He’s the Korean celebrity that you hit at the airport.”
“Oh…” Lin Fan dragged his words. Then, he added, “I have nothing much to say. I don’t really care about it. Anyway, he’s just a temporal celebrity. I have a lot of things to do, why would I bother about these things?”
The reporter was speechless, “…”
Wang Ming Yang stood there helplessly. His friend was crazy. He didn’t even care if his words would offend people.
The reporter asked, “Master Lin, this matter has blown up on the Internet and a lot of netizens have been discussing it. May I know if you have anything to say to them?”
Lin Fan thought for a moment before replying, “A movie’s about to come out and it talks about the stories during the war against Japan. I feel that it is pretty good. May the netizens watch it. As for the fight, you don’t have to read about it anymore. It’s not worth reading at all. Alright, we have to leave. That’s all for today. Sorry, please excuse us.”
The reporters didn’t want to let Master Lin leave at all. They still had a lot of questions.
“Master Lin, last question. Jin Xuan Ming is a Korean celebrity that got famous in China. This incident will have a great impact on his career. According to his manager, they are planning to sue you to compensate for his losses. Do you have anything to say about that? After all, Jin Xuan Ming’s profit margins are great and the estimated figures for his lack of appearance in China for one to two months would cost at least a hundred million dollars,” a reporter asked.
Lin Fan stopped and asked, “Do you think I look like a rich man?”
The reporter looked at him and shook his head. “Nope.”
Lin Fan smiled. “That’s right. I don’t have any money at all. How am I supposed to pay him? As the saying goes, one can only offer his life when he is broke. I won’t even give him a single cent. If he’s capable enough, he can come and slash me.”
The reporter was speechless, “…”
They felt that Master Lin was a little shameless.
The reporter asked again, “Master Lin, aren’t you afraid of going to jail?”
Lin Fan was about to leave but he turned and said, “On this piece of land, everywhere is the same to me. Alright, you’ve asked everything you wanted. I still have something to attend to. I’ll be making a move.”
The reporters looked at Master Lin who drove off and then they looked at each other. If Jin Xuan Ming were to find out about Master Lin’s answers, he might really die from anger.
