Chapter 63 - The Demon Sovereign's Clever Little Trick for Getting Rich

“Lin Fan!!”

After beating Huang Shiying up, Zheng Shaohao let out a furious roar and turned to glare at Lin Fan, his eyes wide with fury.

Today, in front of the entire class, he had utterly and completely lost face!

He felt as if everyone knew that Huang Shiying had been to hotels with other men, and he was the only one who didn't!

And just a short while ago, he had told everyone that he was about to marry Huang Shiying. At this moment, he felt like a clown standing before them all!

And this was all thanks to him!

If it weren't for his appearance today, this reunion should have ended happily amidst everyone's admiration and blessings, just like all the previous ones!

“I'm here. What's wrong?”

Lin Fan replied with a light chuckle.

This relaxed and cheerful expression was like a pot of hot oil being poured onto Zheng Shaohao's blazing fire of rage, causing him to erupt in fury instantly.

What's wrong!? How can this bastard act so innocent! As if everything that happened today had nothing to do with him!

“Lin Fan! It's all you! It's all your fault, you made me lose face in front of all my classmates and friends!”

“Hmm? Now that's not right.”

“You should be thanking me. If it weren't for me, you would have been deceived by this woman.”

Lin Fan pointed at Huang Shiying on the ground, his expression full of righteous indignation.

The surrounding crowd also secretly nodded in agreement.

If he had really married Huang Shiying and then found out, who knows how vibrantly green the hat on his head would have become.

But Zheng Shaohao didn't think so.

All he knew was that today his face had been completely lost at the class reunion, and his marriage was ruined. He absolutely had to get revenge for this!

“Lin Fan! You fucking bastard!”

Zheng Shaohao roared and, having lost all reason, rushed forward and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks on Lin Fan.

Throughout the whole ordeal, Lin Fan stood his ground without moving, a smile on his face. He didn't fight back at all, feeling as if he were being patted by cotton.

CRACK!

As Zheng Shaohao's final punch landed on his chest, it was met with a crisp, bone-cracking sound.

“AAAAAHHH!”

In that instant, Zheng Shaohao clutched his right fist and let out a pained scream like a pig being slaughtered. The tears streamed down his face from the pain, and the intense agony washed over his anger, instantly clearing his head a fair bit.

“M-My hand, my hand…!”

“Y-You… did you hide a steel plate in your clothes?!”

“Nope~”

Lin Fan lifted his shirt with an innocent expression, revealing a well-defined and sturdy physique.

Zheng Shaohao was instantly dumbfounded.

There was indeed nothing under his clothes, but then why did every punch he just threw feel like it was hitting a steel plate? It was so hard!

“Yanzi, call an ambulance.”

Lin Fan instructed Zhou Yan, who was at his side.

“Eh? We have to call an ambulance for him?”

Zhou Yan glanced at Zheng Shaohao, whose face was twisted in pain, with a look of disgust.

Lin Fan, however, smiled and explained: “When did I say it was for him? The ambulance is for me.”

“Huh…?”

As soon as he said this, everyone present, including Zheng Shaohao, was baffled.

Although Zheng Shaohao hit you dozens of times just now, you look completely fine. Why are you calling an ambulance?

Lin Fan didn't explain further, nor did he pay any attention to the surrounding crowd. Instead, he added:

“Oh, right. Call the police while you're at it. Just say someone here is picking a fight and violently assaulting another person, severely endangering their life and safety.”

The crowd: “…”

Everyone looked completely lost.

Zheng Shaohao also looked around again and again, completely baffled.

Who is picking a fight? Who is violently assaulting another person? Who is endangering someone's life? How come he didn't see it? The person Lin Fan was talking about... it couldn't be him, could it...?

Under the crowd's puzzled gazes, Lin Fan slowly lay down on the floor, placed his hands on his chest, and closed his eyes, as if he were going to sleep.

This made the crowd even more confused.

Wait, weren't you perfectly fine just a moment ago? How did you just lie down like that?

Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai instantly understood what Lin Fan meant. One immediately called for an ambulance, and the other called the police.

Soon, the police arrived at the venue first, carrying riot control forks.

“We received a report that someone was violently causing trouble and assaulting another person here?”

“Yes, Comrade Officer, I was the one who made the report.”

Lin Fan raised his arm while lying on the ground.

The police officer immediately came to his side and asked with confusion:

“What happened to you? Why are you lying on the ground?”

“I was just severely assaulted. I'm feeling unwell and can't move now.”

Lin Fan's face was pale and weak, looking for all the world as if he were critically ill and in mortal danger.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Wait, bro! A second before the police arrived, you were lying on the ground just fine, without a single sign of injury. And now you look like you're about to die? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration!

Hearing that the injuries were so severe, the officer's expression immediately became serious.

“Who was the assailant? Is he still here?”

“Here. It's him.”

Lin Fan shot up into a sitting position, pointed at Zheng Shaohao in front of him, and then 'weakly' lay back down.

Zheng Shaohao: “…”

“No, Comrade Officer, listen to me! I did hit him, yes, but my hand is the one that's fractured! He's just pretending!”

Zheng Shaohao was stunned. He was unable to defend himself, and every word he spoke was filled with a sense of being wronged.

After restraining Zheng Shaohao, the police retrieved the venue's surveillance video and questioned the other people present. After confirming the course of events, they returned to Lin Fan's side and asked:

“Hello Comrade, according to the on-site investigation, this is a personal dispute between you and him. Are you willing to settle, or do you have other demands?”

“That depends on his sincerity~”

Lin Fan sat up, looking meaningfully at Zheng Shaohao.

Zheng Shaohao looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit, but not wanting to blow the matter up, he asked condescendingly:

“Speak. How do you want to settle this?”

Lin Fan didn't say much, simply making an 'eight' hand gesture.

“Eighty thousand? Hmph, a trivial sum. It's yours.”

“It's eight hundred thousand~” Lin Fan corrected him with a slight smile.

“Eight hundred thousand?!”

Zheng Shaohao was shocked, then flew into a rage from shame and embarrassment.

“I only hit you a few times, and you want eight hundred thousand? Why don't you just go rob a bank!”

“Forget it then.”

“Comrade Officer, I request a formal injury assessment and for a case to be filed for investigation.”

Lin Fan didn't waste any more words on Zheng Shaohao and lay back down.

Zheng Shaohao was certain he was just bluffing and didn't back down.

“Fine! I'll see how long you can keep up this act!”

Soon, the ambulance also arrived, and the paramedics took both Lin Fan and Zheng Shaohao to the hospital for an examination.

Zhou Yan and the others were worried and followed along.

Inside the hospital, a doctor looked at Lin Fan's X-rays with a solemn expression.

“The injured party has multiple bone fractures throughout his body, along with internal bleeding. The situation is extremely serious!”

“Huh?!! That's impossible!”

Zheng Shaohao was shocked.

He knew his own strength perfectly well. He had hit Huang Shiying with the same flurry of wild punches, and at most, she just had some bruises.

How could hitting Lin Fan result in multiple fractures and internal bleeding?!

Are his muscles more tender than tofu!

“You fucking bastard!”

Hearing how serious Lin Fan's injuries were, Zhou Yan flew into a rage and slammed a fist into Zheng Shaohao's face.

The others and the police officer at the side quickly pulled him back.

Zheng Shaohao sat on the floor, clutching his face, looking completely bewildered.

Just then, a police officer walked over and advised him in a serious tone:

“Mr. Zheng, I advise you to accept Mr. Lin's settlement and obtain his forgiveness. Based on his injury assessment, it's likely a Level 10 disability or higher. If he insists on pursuing charges, this is intentional assault with conclusive evidence, and you will have to bear legal responsibility.”

“Legal responsibility… jail time?”

Zheng Shaohao asked dazedly.

The police officer nodded gravely.

At this moment, Zheng Shaohao was scared.

He had heard that prison was full of vicious and fierce characters. A youthful, tender, handsome man like him entering prison would be like a juicy lamb entering a pack of wolves; who knows what kind of 'special attention' he would receive...

He was so young, still in the prime of his life. If he went to jail, it would all be ruined...

Zheng Shaohao turned his head to look at Lin Fan lying on the hospital bed, and their eyes happened to meet.

The corners of Lin Fan's mouth lifted slightly, and a mocking, comical smile appeared on his face. (ಡωಡ)

When the police officer turned back to look at Lin Fan, he immediately switched back to a half-dead expression.

Zheng Shaohao: “…”

Zheng Shaohao was stunned.

He didn't see that wrong just now, did he…

Why did he have the feeling that this guy wasn't injured at all…?!
