Chapter 491: G.o.dly back-scrubber
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
At the Master Lin Shop.
Wu You Lan looked at the situation before her.
Fraud Tian was a little curious too.
Lin Fan opened his mouth and spoke, “My fellow police officers, what are you all doing?” Then, he looked over at Wu Tao, “Hey, aren’t you Chief Wu? Why are you here at my place?”
Wu Tao really hated this guy to death but he had no choice. His illness still hadn’t been completely treated yet. He had never dared to imagine that something like this would happen but even if he was done for, he still had to recover his health.
The police officers knew that this man was a G.o.dly doctor. Naturally, they were very courteous, “G.o.dly doctor, nice to meet you. We are here to escort Wu Tao over. Mainly due to his health, he hasn’t been able to survive in prison by himself. According to his requests, he has to come to you to seek treatment.”
“Oh? You want to recover your health?” said Lin Fan with a grin.
Wu Tao had nothing to say. He already knew his outcome. He had a life sentence and he would idle in prison for the rest of his life but even if he was to be in prison, he still had to get his body treated. Otherwise, he would get bullied to death in prison.
When he had been captured, he had confessed to everything during the hearing and received leniency as a result. Hence, when he brought up this request, he managed to get approval. After all, if he stayed in prison in his state, it would be an issue too.
The accompanying police officers didn’t say much else. This matter didn’t concern them. Even if this G.o.dly doctor refused to treat him, they wouldn’t try to persuade the doctor.
Wu Tao said, “I’ve already been sentenced to prison and my life is pretty much done for. Could you just treat me back to health?”
“Sigh,” Lin Gan sighed, “Doctors are kind-hearted. It’s not that I don’t want to treat you but have you seen my Weibo recently? During this recent period, I’ve overworked myself, causing me to have insufficient inner strength. I won’t be able to help you in the next ten years. It’s best if you go back to where you came from. My dear policemen, thank you for your trouble.”
The police officers smiled and said, “Alright, G.o.dly doctor. Well, sorry for disturbing you.”
They didn’t want someone like this to recover back to health. The government was empathetic and it had agreed to his request for him to come and have a try. But now that the G.o.dly doctor had rejected him, there was no need to try and convince him.
However, Wu Tao barked in anger, “You b*stard! You’re just standing idly and watching someone die!”
Lin Fan shook his head, “Sigh, I can’t help you. I don’t have enough inner strength.”
“You…” Wu Tao glared at Lin Fan. He didn’t even know what to say anymore. Then, he said, “Alright, I’ll come back in ten years.”
Lin Fan was in a pretty good mood. He replied, “Sure, come back in ten years. Wait for my inner strength to recover.”
Wu Tao’s thought to himself, “Could this really be true?”
At that moment, Elder Chen, who had already been discharged for a period of time, arrived.
“Little Boss, please save me.” After being discharged, Elder Chen had gone to ask Little Boss to treat his illness but he had been rejected. Afterward, he was filled with regret. At that moment, he came with a sullen look on his face.
Lin Fan smiled. “Elder Chen, I already told you back then but you didn’t believe me. You believe me now, right? But your operation has already been done and you’re recovering pretty well. I’ll take a look for you to ensure you won’t have a relapse.”
Elder Chen was filled with grat.i.tude. “I love you, Little Boss. But didn’t you say on your Weibo that you have insufficient inner strength?”
Lin Fan waved his hand and said, “Shh, that’s just a lie for idiots.”
Wu Tao felt a rush of anger come up in his heart. “You…you…”
Lin Fan glanced at him and said, “Why are you still here? My comrades, please take him away. And I just don’t want to treat you. What are you going to do about it?”
“You…” Wu Tao had nothing to say. He was miserable and furious beyond measure. He knew that he was in this situation due, in a large part, to this kid.
But even if he wanted revenge, it wasn’t possible. He was already in prison and he had even ratted out a number of people. There were quite a number of people who hated him now. Even if he managed to get out of prison in future, he would still be miserable.
Looking at this kid’s face that was just asking to be hit, he had no options even though his heart was unyielding.
Elder Chen looked at Wu Tao, who was leaving, and asked, “Little Boss, who is that?”
“Recently, on the internet, there’s been news about a bribery case in Jiangning. He’s the boss behind it, Wu Tao,” said Lin Fan.
Elder Chen was taken aback. “He’s that Wu Tao? Why did the police bring him here?”
Lin Fan smiled and said, “He wanted me to treat his illness but don’t you think that’s impossible?”
Elder Chen nodded, “Indeed. Treating this kind of person would simply be dirtying your hands.”
The next day!
Lin Fan had prepared all the tools. The great back-scrubbing cause was about to officially begin.
This eleventh page of knowledge wasn’t forcing him to complete the task but he himself wanted to complete it, mainly because when he saw that it had the Encyclopedia’s mystical boost, he really wanted to know what effect the boost would have on back-scrubbing.
Nighttime.
“Little Boss, where are you going?” asked the shop owners who pa.s.sed by.
Lin Fan replied with a smile, “I’m going to Elder Zeng’s bathhouse to do back-scrubbing work.”
“Oh d*mn. What?” The shop owners were all stunned. When they came back to their senses, Little Boss had already left with his things towards Elder Zeng’s bathhouse.
The shop owners shook their heads and said, “Little Boss really loves to joke. If he’s going to shower, he should just say so. Who would believe that he’s going to do back-scrubbing work?”
In the shop.
“Elder Zeng?” Lin Fan saw that Elder Zeng wasn’t at the counter. However, one of the service staff at the counter saw Lin Fan and said with a smile, “Little Boss, our boss is out. He said that when you arrive, you may go in first. He’s already reserved a good spot for you. This is your number plate.”
“Alright.” Lin Fan nodded and took the number plate. Then, he went to the back, the staff’s changing room.
The people inside all recognized Lin Fan. Who would not have known of Cloud Street’s Master Lin? Moreover, they had all seen that recent piece of news and were in admiration of Little Boss. To them, he was simply a G.o.dly being.
In the changing room.
Uncle Liu, who was in charge of giving towels to the customers, smiled and said, “Little Boss, you really came.”
Lin Fan started to remove his clothes. At the same time, he said, “Of course. If I said I would come, I will definitely come.”
Uncle Liu laughed. He really couldn’t understand young people. “Your workstation is the first one. It was specially reserved for you by our boss.”
“Alright, thank you.” Lin Fan took off his clothes and also put on a pair of underwear. He didn’t like to be naked. It just didn’t feel good.
Doing back-scrubbing this time, Lin Fan felt a little nervous. If he was too good at scrubbing, what would he do?
He had to be low-key.
He thought for a long while.
“I need a back scrub. Anyone?” a young man from the pool yelled out.
Three of the other back-scrubbers were all busy and there was no one else at the moment. Lin Fan smiled and replied, “Coming.”
Uncle Liu smiled, “Little Boss’ luck is really good. You just came and you’ve already met someone who wants a back scrub.”
Lin Fan said cheerily, “Looks like I’ll have to demonstrate my skill.”
“Encyclopedia’s mystical boost, show me what powers you have!” Lin Fan thought.
He was filled with eager antic.i.p.ation.
