Chapter 1032 - A Random Encounter (2/2)

Those who had been laughing and smiling hid their smiles away.

Lin Fan walked up to the young boy in the school uniform and said, “Little friend, what grade are you in now?”

Seeing the young boy’s expression, he was a little startled. Then, he put a smile on his face as he placed both his hands on the dirty hands of the young boy which were on the car.

“Grade 6,” the young boy said. His voice was very mature and was not as innocent as that of other children’s. It definitely seemed like he had experienced a lot.

Lin Fan gently patted the young boy’s head. Then, he led the young boy to the front of the enforcement officer and said, “Apologise to this young boy. You guys are enforcement officers and are supposed to be role models, yet you guys treated his father so aggressively. Is this how you guys are supposed to behave?”

The enforcement officers looked at Master Lin, then they looked at the young boy who they had completely ignored. They realized that the eyes of the young boy were burning with anger and hatred.

It was as if their actions had already left a lasting impression on the young boy’s heart.

“We’re sorry,” they said. These enforcement officers were the kind that came in by their own merit, not those who bribed their way in and were filled with an unlimited amount of aggression.

Shanghai had already started implementing strict regulations so that only the best could become enforcement officers.

Lin Fan looked to the side, at the middle-aged man whose face was completely red, and said, “Big brother, you know, too, that you’re not allowed to place your cart at a place like this. Your child is here as well, shouldn’t you be trying to teach him the right values?”

Every single father is definitely the greatest role model in the eyes of his child. Most of the time, the behavior of a child is influenced heavily by their own family.

The middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him. He had been hawking in Shanghai all this while and would occasionally hear the conversations of other hawkers. So naturally, he knew who Master Lin was.

Then, when he took a look at the expression on his son’s face, he could not help but blame himself.

“Yes, you’re right, Master Lin,” the middle-aged man nodded and said.

Lin Fan patted the young boy’s head and said, “Don’t be angry, don’t hate them. Our society is still filled with love. All that you have witnessed today is just an anomaly. The people surrounding you who were laughing at you do not truly present the loving society that we have.”

Some of the surrounding townsfolk who heard that felt a little uncomfortable inside. However, since it was Master Lin in front of them, they did not dare to do anything.

Some of them who could not take it just left the scene immediately.

Although Lin Fan was very calm in his tone, he had been using the Wuxia major classification of knowledge in order to appease the heart of the young boy.

“Just return the things to them. I’ll cover the cost of it,” Lin Fan said as he took out a few red colored notes from his pocket, “Also, please inform this big brother of the right places to go to open his stall.”

The enforcement officer replied, “Master Lin, I can’t take your money. I’ll just let this incident slide for now. However, he just needs to know that it is illegal to open his stall here.”

Lin Fan waved him off and said, “Regulations are regulations. How can you let this slide now?”

The enforcement officer hesitated for a moment before saying, “Okay then.”

Then, he started writing a fine. He looked at the shop owner and said, “You’re lucky to have met such a good person today. Just know that it’s illegal to operate a stall here. Later, you’ll have to come with us to the station. We’ll help you get a permit for operating your stall as well as let you know where you can set up your stall.”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was a little nervous. He was scared that something would happen to him if he were to follow these enforcement officers.

The enforcement officer felt a little helpless after noticing that. Right now, they had already been extremely kind and as humane as possible. However, the incidents of all the other crooked enforcement officers in the other parts of the country had left their credibility at an all-time low.

“Relax, Master Lin is still here, we can’t possibly lie to you,” the enforcement officer looked at the shop owner and said.

Lin Fan saw the young boy gradually calm down. All the hatred in him gradually dissipated. Upon that sight, Lin Fan could not help but sigh in relief.

“Next time, take note of your methods when trying to enforce the law. I have things to settle now so I’ll make a move first,” Lin Fan smiled and said. Then, he looked at the young boy and waved at him. When the young boy saw that, he waved back as well.

“Thank you, uncle.”

Lin Fan smiled. When he caught a glimpse of the surrounding townsfolk, he shook his head and then walked towards his car.
