A Valiant Life

In the elevator.

“What the f*ck have we gotten into? Even the elevator is bullying us!” Chu Shen bellowed exasperatedly.

Being in the elevator, he was very afraid. If it were to suddenly fall, wouldn’t he die instantly?

No matter how much money he had or how many connections he had, it would all be useless. They would all disappear the moment the elevator falls.

“You are all useless. What were you all saying before? That you are inheritors of martial arts. That the martial arts association is no match for you. Now, in front of that Lin, you don’t even dare to move. What do I pay you so much for?”

Chu Shen got angrier the more he thought about it. He vented his rage on the bodyguards.

The bodyguards looked at Chu Shen helplessly. “Chief Chu, you can’t blame us. That’s Master Lin, who’s wide-regarded as the strongest in the martial arts world. How could we possibly match up to him?”

“You…” Chu Shen didn’t want to say more. The flame in his heart was difficult to extinguish. If they couldn’t redeem themselves, he wouldn’t let them work for him anymore.

The elevator phone rang.

Chu Shen immediately answered it as he snarled, “What kind of elevator is this? How can it just stop all of a sudden? Hurry up and fix it!”

The technical staff had received Master Lin’s instructions. He said in a very unfriendly tone, “What are you guys doing? Don’t you have any values? Don’t you know that you can’t hit the elevator? Now, the elevator has been broken by you. We’re repairing it right now. Later on, come down and pay for it.”

“What kind of attitude is that? Let me tell you this. If you don’t hurry up and fix the elevator, I’ll make sure you suffer the consequences.” Chu Shen was enraged. He had been slapped by that Lin and it was still stinging. Now, a lowly technical staff member dared to act impudently towards him. Could it be that everyone dared to be impudent towards him now?

The technical staff said, “What kind of attitude is that? Just wait inside then. When your attitude improves, call us back.”

“F*ck!” Chu Shen was so angry that flames nearly emitted from his eyes. Then, he calmed himself down. “Please hurry up a little. Please.”

“That’s more like it. Just wait a moment. We’re repairing it right now,” said the technical staff. Then, they hung up.

At that moment, the technical staff looked at Master Lin as if awaiting the next instruction.

Lin Fan said, “There’s no hurry. Wait half an hour before fixing the elevator.”

The technical staff member nodded. “Understood, Master Lin.”

Wang Ming Yang stared blankly at Lin Fan. “Brother, you really are awesome.”

Lin Fan chuckled. “What’s so awesome about this? But I have to say, Ming Yang, you’re way too soft. You didn’t even dare to retaliate against this kind of trash.”

Wang Ming Yang sighed. “This is different. This guy is from Huaizhou’s Chu Family. His business influence is great. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

“Cheh. Business influence? Even a person who just runs a shop along Cloud Street can scold him until he doesn’t dare to speak nonsense. But a big boss like you is scared?” Lin Fan said with a laugh. Regarding this matter, he really felt that Ming Yang’s courage was lacking.

Wang Ming Yang rolled his eyes. “Brother, you can’t say it like that. You only run a shop along Cloud Street? Even a ghost wouldn’t believe that. Look at all the things you’ve done. Those people were scared out of their wits.”

“No, Ming Yang, you should learn from me. We can’t look at how awesome the opposition is. If he’s not human, we’d have to be a little afraid. But as long as he’s human, why should we be afraid of him? Look. Isn’t he still in the elevator and wailing like a child?” Lin Fan smiled as he said, “But what exactly happened between the two of you? Why did you suddenly start fighting?”

Wang Ming Yang sighed. “This is a long story. I saw this guy showing off on a business forum, so I went to expose him. Then, we started arguing. You know the rest.”

“But brother, you’re really too domineering. I can’t help but admire you.”

Lin Fan waved his hand indifferently. “It’s not much.”

Half an hour later.

The elevator came down.

Chu Shen, who had been stuck in the elevator, had nearly fallen apart. When the elevator doors opened, it was as if he was welcomed into a new world.

“Where did that technical staff go? Why did he take so long?” Upon coming out, Chu Shen started scolding. He even wanted to cause trouble for that technical staff member.

But when he saw the two people sitting in front, his face instantly turned dark.

Lin Fan said, “Chu Shen, do you have a problem? Did the elevator offend you? A perfectly fine elevator was broken by you. Just now, the technical staff had to change many parts to get the elevator repaired. Tell us. How are you going to compensate?”

Chu Shen was filled with rage. “What do you mean by that? There was a problem with your elevator which caused us to be locked in for so long and now you want me to compensate?”

At that moment, Lin Fan took out his phone.

“What are you doing?” Chu Shen asked in a cold tone. He had no idea what this guy was taking out his phone for.

Lin Fan smiled. “It’s nothing. I’m just calling the reporters. The person in charge of a big organization in Huaizhou doesn’t have any morals at all. He kicked an elevator, causing it to stop and he still won’t admit it. But it’s fine. There are surveillance cameras in the elevator. I want to let the reporters have a look. I think they’d definitely be interested.”

When Chu Shen heard this, he let out an expression as if to say ‘You win.’

“Alright, alright. I admit defeat today. Tell me how much I have to pay.”

Lin Fan said, “Ming Yang, how much does it cost to repair the elevator? Or would we have to get a new one?”

Wang Ming Yang thought for a moment before replying, “Whenever elevators in my company have a problem, we typically change it. This elevator isn’t too expensive. It’s a local product. Specially produced. Several tens of thousands will do. Maybe around 50 thousand.”

“Are you f*cking snatching money?” When Chu Shen heard that, he burst out cursing. “Let me tell you that you can’t snatch money like that.”

“Forget it, forget it. Hurry up and leave then, Chief Chu. I’m going to call the reporters over and let the reporters see how Chief Chu doesn’t pay his debts. My brother doesn’t lack money anyway. He doesn’t need a few tens of thousands from you.” Lin Fan waved his hand and started dialing a number.

*Beep beep!*

At that moment, the call got through.

“I’ll pay,” Chu Shen said in a deep tone. He had given in.

They were clearly trying to screw with him. Moreover, these two people had clearly waited here for so long just to play around with him.

“Hello? Master Lin. Master Lin…” the reporter’s voice came from the phone.

Lin Fan smiled. “I’m sorry. I called the wrong number.”

Then, he hung up.

“Chief Chu, are you paying using a card or by cash?” asked Lin Fan with a grin.

Chu Shen looked at Lin Fan as he cursed maniacally in his heart. You’re f*cking retarded. Who would bring a few tens of thousands in cash?

“Card!”
