A Valiant Life Chapter 276: I’M Convinced...
Chapter 276: I'm convinced...
The stools were all moved over . All the spectators were crowded to one side . Everyone who was part of the Salon was gathered there .
This situation was much more interesting .
Zhu Zhu said, "Do your best, Master Lin! We trust in you very much . "
Lin Fan laughed . Now there were enough eyes drawn in . Everyone had gathered around with curious eyes to witness the outcome of this bet .
He Cheng Han looked calm and relaxed as if he wasn't the least bit anxious . He didn't believe in fortune-telling and was sure that he would be the victor in this bet .
When some of the spectators heard that this was about fortune-telling, they couldn't help but laugh . They didn't have any other intentions but they just had to laugh . Was this a joke? Although some people here weren't highly educated, everyone had gone into the working word and gained considerable experience and knowledge . They had chosen not to believe in superst.i.tious things like these .
But the fact that Chief Jin believed in this Master Lin astonished them . When had Chief Jin started being superst.i.tious?
He Cheng Han opened his mouth and said, "Alright, let's begin . We'll have a good show to watch later . "
Lin Fan laughed, then looked at He Cheng Han carefully . He looked at him very seriously this time . Since getting the knowledge from the Encyclopedia, Lin Fan hadn't done a proper research yet .
"He Cheng Han . 45 . Jin Tang Yang Mountain Town, He Tian Village…" Lin Fan started saying .
He Cheng Han kept his grin, "That's not much . Many people know where my hometown is . "
Lin Fan said, "Don't be impatient . It'll come slowly . That was just the start . "
"Alright, take it slow," said He Cheng Han with a laugh . He was relaxed and there was not a single bit of anxiety in him . He would let this 'master' slowly talk . If he really could convince He Cheng Han, then that would be a real skill .
Zhu Zhu and the rest held their breaths as they were cheering for Master Lin in their hearts . They had high hopes for Master Lin and believed that he would surely win .
The surrounding crowd listened with interest . They hadn't seen a bet like this before and it was a lot of fun . Some of them were standing around while others were sitting around, all awaiting the final outcome .
At that moment, Lin Fan continued . But what surprised the crowd was that this Master Lin started talking about when Brother He was young .
"At one year old, you suffered from encephalitis . Your family wasn't well off and judging from your physiognomy, there was a period of uncertainty . It appears that someone in your family wanted to give up on you but in the end, they still held on and you were cured . "
"This faintly visible scar on your face . It's probably from when you fell down from the tree you were climbing at two years old . "
Then, Lin Fan continued on and on . The crowd's expressions started to turn into those of shock . These words seemed so real . This guy really knew how to make up stories .
"When you were four, you had an accident . There was a latrine at the back of the village toilet and you accidentally fell in . Fortunately, you got discovered in time and saved . "
*Pfft!*
At that point, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter .
This is too f*cking funny!
They had heard of people drowning to death but they had never heard of someone falling into a latrine and getting buried by 'those things' .
But the crowd was a little curious . Is this real or fake? Why does it seem so unreal?
And this Brother He's life is a little too harsh, isn't it? Why are there so many f*cked up incidents? But when they looked at Brother He's expression, they saw that it was rather grave . As if he wasn't too happy .
Could it be that this guy was going overboard? But that shouldn't be the case, Brother He was a very easy going guy . Whenever he was met with a joke, he would laugh and not take it too seriously .
Lin Fan carefully studied He Cheng Han's face and from each portion of his face, he gathered useful information .
"The turning point in your life was when you were seventeen . Your family wasn't doing well, so you went to Qinghai to join the military . You worked in the cookhouse and because you were capable, you became the head of the cookhouse . "
"You left the military at twenty and mixed into society for a few years . Got into some fights, got brought in to the police station…"
He Cheng Han's expression became fiercer . His nostrils flared slightly . It was a little scary . He suddenly felt his heartbeat beating furiously .
The crowd started laughing .
"I never knew Brother He's history was so eventful . "
"Is this real or fake? It sounds too incredible! Brother He is such a good guy, how could he have done these bad things? He even ran a red light district business before…?"
"It sounds more and more unreal . I don't even dare to believe it anymore . "
"Look at Brother He's face . He looks angry! Maybe we should tell him to stop playing around . If a conflict comes up, this wouldn't be good .
The crowd felt that Brother He's expression was getting too solemn . They said, "Brother He, maybe…"
He Cheng Han waved his hand . "Carry on . "
Lin Fan was calmwas calm and collected . He continued, "This next turning point came very quickly . At twenty-five, you discovered the children's toys market . You borrowed a sum of money from people and invested in it but a year later, because you were scammed, the business was shut down and you lost everything . "
"At twenty-seven…"
"At twenty-eight…"
"At twenty-nine…"
"At forty-five…"
At that moment, complete silence filled the place . The only one talking was Lin Fan .
The surrounding spectators were all stunned . It wasn't that they believed Master Lin now, but this life story was way too complicated . It could be written as a tragedy . With its many ups and downs, it wasn't something an average person could endure through .
Especially that part about when he was thirty, Master Lin said that Brother He had almost jumped off a bridge and committed suicide . That sounded way too f*cking fake . Brother He had such a positive att.i.tude, he wasn't the type of person who would do that .
"My throat is getting dry . " Lin Fan picked up his drink and took a sip, then looked at He Cheng Han . "Are you convinced?"
He Cheng Han wasn't happy or angry, but he was frightened .
He suddenly realized that this young man before him was really terrifying, especially that calm expression of his . It made He Cheng Han feel as if he wasn't facing a human but instead, a shadow which, from the start until then, had been creeping behind him, observing his every move .
The crowd looked at Master Lin, then looked at Brother He . They had no idea what was going on .
Was it real or fake? To them, it seemed more probable that it was fake . After all, if Lin Fan really knew all these, he was too G.o.dly .
Lin Fan smiled . "Chief He, say something . Are you convinced?"
He Cheng Han didn't answer the question but asked in a terrified tone, "What kind of person are you?"
Anyone put in his position would have been terrified . His entire life had been seen through clearly . Every bit of it . How scary was that? How terrifying was that?
Lin Fan smiled . "A normal person…"
He Cheng Han's throat moved slightly as if he wanted to say something . But he didn't know how to open his mouth .
The air was filled with tension .
"Alright, alright, enough playing around . Let's forget about this . We'll chat about other things . "
When some of the other people noticed the tension, they tried to change the topic too . This was supposed to be a joyous occasion, why did they have to talk about such a solemn topic?
However, some people really wanted to know if it was true or not .
"Brother He, let's talk about other things . This was just a little joke, no need to take it too seriously," advised some of the people in the crowd .
"Yeah! No wonder Master Lin is a good friend of Brother Ming Yang's . His ability to make up stories is first-rate! He'll make a great screenwriter!"
He Cheng Han raised his hand . The place quietened down . Then, he looked at Lin Fan . His lips slowly moved . In a firm tone, which was at the same time full of disbelief, he spoke .
"I'm convinced . . . but how did you know?"
Suddenly .
The place was silent .
The stools were all moved over . All the spectators were crowded to one side . Everyone who was part of the Salon was gathered there . This situation was much more interesting .
