Seeing injustice, Lin Fan yelled out. However, this ‘Stop’ had no effect.
After all, those people felt that he was just a normal person meddling with something he wasn’t related to. They completely ignored him.
Lin Fan was getting upset. “Stop.”
At that moment, his voice was raised and it shook the two security guards.
“You two big guys treat an old man like that. If your children see this, how ashamed would they feel?” said Lin Fan.
“Hey, it’s Master Lin.” Among the spectators, one of them had recognized Lin Fan. After all, there weren’t many people in Shanghai who didn’t know who Master Lin was.
This ‘handsome’ face, in particular, refreshed the memories of many of them.
“Master Lin, I always buy scallion pancakes from your place.”
One of the townsfolk took out his phone. With a ‘kacha’ sound, he snapped a photo as he spoke excitedly.
Lin Fan nodded. He hadn’t expected that he would even run into fans of his scallion pancakes here. It felt pretty good.
When the two security guards had heard Lin Fan’s words, they had been stunned. Afterward, when they heard that this was Master Lin, they immediately let the old man go. They knew who Master Lin was. He was a famous man.
Now that this famous man had spoken, how could they dare to act unbridled?
Lin Fan stepped forward and supported the old man. “What’s your situation?”
The old man passed the photocopied sheet to Lin Fan. “Youngster, take a look. This was given to me by them. They said it’s a contract I agreed to, to loan my money to some kind of start-up. But I have never signed such a thing. Moreover, this name on the sheet wasn’t even signed by me.”
Lin Fan looked at the piece of paper in his hand very closely. The date that the money would be returned was really ridiculous. It was thirty years later.
Then, he looked over at that woman. “What’s going on?”
That middle-aged woman was an employee here. When she heard Lin Fan’s words, she knew that this was Master Lin so she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. After all, Master Lin was not someone to be angered.
“This was signed by himself,” replied the woman simply.
The old man immediately retorted, “How could it have been signed by me? I didn’t even sign it. Back then, I just deposited my money here. I didn’t do anything else.”
“Give me back my money.”
Lin Fan appeased the old man, “Be patient. I’ll help you to clarify things.” Then, he looked at the woman. “I hope you can help to check it out. See what exactly is going on.”
The middle-aged woman shook her head. “We’ve already checked. The document in his hands is what we found. This has nothing to do with us. We still have things to do. If you have any problems, look for the related personnel.”
After saying that, she left in a hurry. She didn’t want to stay here any longer.
“You…” Lin Fan had just opened his mouth when the middle-aged lady left along with the two security guards without turning back.
The surrounding townsfolk gathered around.
“Master Lin, this situation is hard to resolve.”
“Yeah. They’re really firm about this. Even if you look for the related person in charge, you wouldn’t be able to find him.”
“I feel that the old man will just have to count himself as unlucky.”
The townsfolk started a commotion.
Lin Fan felt that since he had come across this, he had to help the old man resolve it. After all, this money had not been gotten so easily. He couldn’t just let them do whatever they wanted.
“I’ll go in to take a look,” said Lin Fan.
The old man followed closely behind as he wanted to have a word as well. He had already been here for a long time. Since a month ago, he had started coming over to question them.
