“I’ve really been blind. I thought that Master Lin was a good person and I never thought that he wouldn’t be able to differentiate right from wrong. They’re the child’s only remaining relatives. Why won’t he let the child go?”


  “That’s right. We believe in what we’ve seen for ourselves. They’ve presented all the required documents. They’re clearly the child’s relatives.”


  “Everyone, say it together. Tell them to release the child!”


  “Release him!”


  “Release him!”


  The voices kept getting louder and louder. The entire crowd had been fooled completely by Wang Cheng Shan and Qiu Yan Lan’s pitiful performance.

  The crowd felt as if they were standing on the side of justice. They felt that only they were right and everyone else was evil.

  The townsfolk passing by outside heard this noise and stopped in their tracks.

  “What’s going on over there?”


  “I don’t know but it seems like something major is happening. Let’s go take a look.”


  “Let’s go.”


  The number of spectating townsfolk became higher and higher until they surrounded the entire Welfare Institute.

  When Wang Cheng Shan and Qiu Yan Lan saw this scene, they exchanged looks. Even they had not expected to attract so many people.

  Lin Fan took a deep breath. Sigh, these people……

  At this moment, Qiu Yan Lan did something that caused the whole place to erupt.

  *thud*

  Qiu Yan Lan knelt down at the entrance of the Welfare Institute and let out a heartbreaking expression as she knocked her head onto the ground, making thudding sounds.

  “I’m begging you, give us back the child. We don’t have children of our own and we just want to raise our nephew up as our own son. I’m begging you, give us the child.”


  Those cries of hers were extremely pitiful. It was simply too dramatic.

  When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, the fire in their hearts burst out completely.

  “Motherf*ckers, are you going to release him or not?”


  “You Welfare Institute people are too ridiculous. They’ve already done this much, why won’t you release the child?”


  A big man stood out and said, “Since I’ve come across this situation today, I absolutely will not ignore it. I’m giving you one minute. If you don’t hand over the child, we’re going in to snatch him.”


  With someone taking the lead, the rest of the crowd became braver as they cheered the big man on from the side……

  When Director Huang saw this, a worried look appeared on her face. “Master Lin, what should we do now?”


  Lin Fan had not expected the crowd to become so riled up. However, he wasn’t bothered by it. “It’s not an issue. Just watch over the children. I’ll resolve this.”


  Then, the reporters arrived. When they saw the situation before them, they were dumbfounded as well. They had not expected things to have developed to such a stage. It was simply inconceivable.

  What could have caused all this outrage?

  Although the incident was still ongoing, news had already appeared on the Internet.

  “D*mn, Master Lin is in trouble this time. A large number of people have surrounded the Welfare Institute, asking for Master Lin to release the child. Otherwise, they’re going in to snatch the child away.”


  “That can’t be.”


  “Why can’t it be? I’m at the scene right now. I have always believed in Master Lin but I don’t dare to say anything right now. These old men here have all gone mad. If I speak well of Master Lin, I’d definitely be beaten up.”


  “Why isn’t the police there yet?”


  “I’ve already called the police. They should be on the way now. Even the reporters have reached already.”


  “Brothers, I’m not in Shanghai right now. If I was, I would bring my Bros there and beat up those guys who are bullying Master Lin.”
……

  Reporter Jiang stood in front of the metal gates. “Master Lin, I’m Lil’ Jiang from Qian Jiang News Agency. Can I ask you a few things?”


  “Master Lin, I’m a reporter from People’s News Agency. Could you comment on the current situation?”


  The reporters were all asking questions as they stood in front of the metal gate. They wanted to know what exactly had happened. Usually, Master Lin would definitely not do such a thing. But now that things had gotten so out of hand and Master Lin still didn’t want to release the child, it was a little suspicious.

  Why didn’t Master Lin release the child?

  Was this child really so important?

  If there really was some kind of shady deal involved, why would he draw such public outrage just for a single child?

  Lin Fan looked at these reporters. After thinking for a moment, he said, “You can ask those two why they’re in such a rush to take the child away.”


  The reporters were taken aback as they wondered what Master Lin meant. But judging by the situation, they probably wouldn’t be able to get any useful information from Master Lin.

  But at this moment, the young lady, Reporter Xiao Jiang, asked angrily, “Why won’t you release the child? People like you are really disgusting.”


  When Reporter Jiang heard his own colleague talk to Master Lin like that, he immediately held her back and said, “Xiao Jiang, how can you speak to Master Lin like that? Before the matter is settled, you can’t speak about someone so emotionally. How can you not have such professional qualities as a reporter?”


  Xiao Jiang yanked her arm away from Reporter Jiang’s grasp. “I only believe what I’ve seen for myself. If this man isn’t doing this for his own benefit, why else would he not release the child?”


  Reporter Jiang said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Master Lin. She just started working and she’s still young.”


  Lin Fan waved his hand. “I’ll prove myself with the truth later on.”


  He wasn’t in a rush to prove himself. He wanted to see how many people would be deceived. Sometimes, when one thinks that he is doing something righteous, he could actually be taking the side of evil.

  However, Lin Fan didn’t blame such people. He just wanted to etch a lesson into their memories so that they wouldn’t just look at who’s more pitiful when they are met with a situation like this. Sometimes, the pitiful side could be the evil side.

  The reporters surrounded Wang Cheng Shan and Qiu Yan Lan and started questioning them. The couple had already thought of what to say. In front of the reporters, they pretended to be very pitiful, saying that they were willing to beg and plead just for their nephew.

  When some of the reporters heard this, they were a little shaken. Could it be that they were right and it was indeed Master Lin who was in the wrong?

  But according to their knowledge of Master Lin, Master Lin was not such a person.

  At that moment, the reporters started to hesitate as they didn’t know who to trust.

  If they had to choose, they would trust Master Lin more. However, Master Lin hadn’t said anything and hadn’t given any explanation at all. On the other hand, what this couple said seemed to be true and they seemed very pitiful.

  As a young lady, Xiao Jiang was rather emotional. Seeing how pitiful the couple was, she couldn’t help but squat down and comfort them.

  Lil’ Jiang shook his head. He felt that Xiao Jiang was still too young and she hadn’t been trained enough. She was too easily affected by emotions. After all, there were many situations that would be suddenly reversed in the end.

  The police car arrived.

  Liu Xiao Tian had personally brought a team down. When he had found out that a situation had broken out at Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute, he had no hesitation at all and he immediately brought his team down.

  But when he reached the destination and saw the scene, Liu Xiao Tian was completely dumbfounded.

  What the heck had happened? Why were so many people gathered here?

  Were they rioting?
