He had bought what he needed to. Although he had not bought anything that was of great value, it did not matter. His parents had told him all along that the important thing to them was not the value of the gift but the thought behind it.

The moment he gets back to Zhongzhou the next day, he would have to start getting to work. Preparing a banquet was definitely not something easy to do. He had to choose a restaurant, buy some wine, as well as prepare the gifts.

Everything in Zhongzhou now was a mess and it would take a huge amount of effort to fix it. However, it was all worth it to give his father a good birthday celebration.

After he got out of the shopping center, just as he was getting ready to get into his car, he suddenly heard a huge commotion in the distance and he saw a huge group of people gathered there.

What’s going on over there? He was extremely curious inside as he did not know what was going on over there. But from the looks of it, it looked like there was some sort of argument going on over there. Furthermore, there were several government vehicles over there as well.

This was a situation that he was very familiar with. After all, he had specialized in selling scallion pancakes in the past. When he had still been pushing his little cart around, these situations were ones that he tried to avoid.

Studying the road in front of him, it was clear to him that this road was one where people were not permitted to set up their stalls. It was very clear that it was illegal to set up their stalls there.

However, in the face of this huge commotion, he felt a certain urge to go there and get involved.

Furthermore, there were so many people gathered around there.

Thus, he decided not to get into his car for now. He just walked over to the scene.

The whole scene was a mess. There a middle-aged man surrounded by a few enforcement officers at his stall. These enforcement officers were trying to seize the items from his stall.

However, that was not the main factor which compelled Lin Fan to go up and help. In front of the enforcement officer’s car, there was a boy in his school uniform. Both his hands were on the enforcement officer’s car while his eyes were filled with tears. However, although these eyes were filled with tears, they were filled with hatred as well.

It was not very clear whether his hatred was directed towards these surrounding townsfolk who just stood there taking pictures and refused to help or these enforcement officers trying to confiscate the cart.

The townsfolk were all standing very close to the scene and were holding out their phones and taking pictures of this little boy. Some of them were in eating some melon seeds while discussing the scene that was unfolding in front of their eyes.

There were even some of them who were smiling as if there was something funny about this situation to them.

Lin Fan felt that this was not right especially when he looked at the young boy in the school uniform, whose eyes of hatred frightened him as well.

The boy was of such a young age and already had these feelings of hatred towards the society. If the seeds of hatred which had been planted in his heart were to germinate and develop, when he grows old, he would have a heart filled with hatred and distrust towards the society.

“What are you doing? Let go,” Lin Fan stepped forward with no hesitation at all. Then, he looked towards the townsfolk and said with a stern tone, “What are you guys taking pictures of? And what the heck are you guys laughing at?”

To suddenly have some random person come up and reprimand them made all the surrounding people a little angry, thinking that this man was really very arrogant.

“What’s wrong with that? We are just spectating, what’s wrong with laughing?”

“That’s right. Who are you anyway? Mind your own business.”

Lin Fan did not even listen to any of the words of these onlookers. Instead, he went up to the enforcement officers and the shop owner and said, “Everyone, relax. We can talk this out. If everyone explains their own side of the story, we can settle this easily.”

The enforcement officer who was pushing the shop owner around had initially wanted to just push Lin Fan away. However, when he saw Lin Fan, he was stunned as he said, “Master Lin…”

Then, he immediately let go of the shop owner and anxiously said, “Master Lin, I wasn’t trying to use excessive force in order to maintain the law, it’s just that these carts are prohibited in this area. I’m just following regulations.”

“I know,” Lin Fan nodded and said.

Meanwhile, the people who had been shouting at Lin Fan for his arrogance were all stunned after hearing the enforcement officer speak. None of them had thought that the person standing right in front of them was Master Lin.

Although they had seen Master Lin before, they had not expected that they would actually see him here.

All those people who had been calling him a busybody just now backed off.

Those who had been snapping photos with their phones put their phones away.
