Chapter 433: Let’s split up
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
When Lin Fan returned with the artwork, Yue Qiu Ju Shi heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if he had been resurrected. He was back to his bubbly self.
Especially when Yue Qiu Ju Shi went to hug Lin Fan like a little child just when he saw him, it was a little off-putting.
Tao Shi Gang didn’t know why Master Lin had taken those two artworks out but since the ‘Hundred birds’ artwork was back, Brother Yue Qiu was back to his happy self. He didn’t mind it anymore.
As for the art exhibition, he didn’t want to display it anymore. If he wanted to do so, he would have to strengthen the security measures and protect it.
Since something had happened, the art exhibition couldn’t continue anymore. However, to Yue Qiu Ju Shi, the luckiest thing to happen was to be reunited with that artwork.
The policemen came to investigate the crime scene and realized that it was a team of professional burglars. They traced it back to their recent few burglaries and they were exactly the same. They felt that they had probably been done by the same people.
However, Lin Fan wasn’t bothered by it. He believed in karma. If he had exposed them earlier, then this case wouldn’t have happened. However, that would also mean that Jin Xuan Ming wouldn’t have been kicked by the burglar.
Therefore, he decided to just wait it out and see how things went.
Then, Lin Fan took out his phone and posted on Weibo.
“Awesome, I feel so awesome. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way.”
The netizens were puzzled by the comment. Meanwhile, Jin Xuan Ming’s stupid fans were still scolding him on Weibo. Lin Fan immediately closed the Weibo app. The bunch of idiots would probably be crying over their idol tomorrow.
As for Yue Qiu Ju Shi, he didn’t want to pursue this matter any further since the artwork was back. He didn’t want to ask any more about it. As for the two artworks that Master Lin had taken, he didn’t ask anything, neither did he want to talk to the policemen.
Meanwhile, the building opposite seemed to have another incident. The Korean celebrity had been kicked by a burglar and was in a coma. The police were also there to help.
This matter was a huge one but the news hadn’t spread to the public yet.
The reporters rushed there but the area had already been cordoned off. Jin Xuan Ming was sent to the hospital and the reporters didn’t manage to get any juicy news. Then, they just headed to the hospital to get the latest news.
To them, Jin Xuan Ming going into a coma was a big piece of news. If it were reported, it would definitely blow up.
All the way through the night.
The reporters camped there but they didn’t know what was going on.
Then, a doctor came out.
The reporters immediately rushed towards him.
“Hi, doctor, may I know Jin Xuan Ming’s condition?”
“Is his life in danger?”
The doctor had been about to go for his meal but was stunned after being surrounded by reporters. He was a little taken aback but he loved to entertain questions like these. Hence, he neatened his attire and looked at them.
“Are you asking me?” the doctor asked.
The reporter nodded. “Doctor, Jin Xuan Ming is a Korean celebrity. Today, he was attacked at the performance hall. According to the live witnesses, Jin Xuan Ming was carried out on a stretcher. May I know his condition?”
The doctor looked at the reporters and shook his head. Then, he sighed. “It’s extremely serious.”
The reporter asked, “How serious is it?”
The doctor said, “His face is badly disfigured.”
“He has a lot of injuries on his body.”
“I think his private part is probably useless now…”
The doctor was revealing all the details but he suddenly saw the director. Then, his face changed and he moved away from the reporters.
Then, the reporters were still standing there, trying to digest what the doctor had just said.
Didn’t ‘disfigured face’ mean that his good looks were finished?
‘A lot of injuries sustained to his body’ would also mean that it was serious. Perhaps he could even be paralyzed from the bottom down.
And the last sentence was even worse. That probably meant that he had become a eunuch.
D*mn!
It was the biggest news of the day.
Jackpot! If this was reported, it would definitely shake the entire nation.
Then, the reporters dispersed and went back to write their scripts. At the same time, they arranged for people to camp there so that the latest information can be reported as soon as possible.
The next day!
In the morning.
The weather was brilliant.
However, something huge had happened on the Internet. When everyone saw it, they were all stunned.
On a certain web forum.
“D*mn, Jin Xuan Ming got badly beaten up by a burglar.”
“The news said that Jin Xuan Ming performed at a building opposite an art exhibition center and the burglars went there to steal an artwork. One of the burglars slid to the other building from the 19th level to the 18th level, which happened to be Jin Xuan Ming’s performance location. He kicked the glass window and appeared behind Jin Xuan Ming. Then, he kicked him. Wait, why does this sound like a movie?”
“D*mn! Awesome, that’s nice to hear.”
“Haha, that’s hilarious. I think this Jin Xuan Ming isn’t fated to be in China this year. He got beaten up twice in these few days.”
“Look at the news. The doctor said that Jin Xuan Ming’s private part has become useless. Does that mean he’s a eunuch?”
“That’s highly possible.”
“Although he was a burglar, his actions deserve to be praised.”
On Lin Fan’s Weibo.
“Haha, it’s hilarious. When Master Lin posted that yesterday, I still didn’t know what it meant. Today, I finally understood it. I guess Master Lin knew about it.”
“That’s weird. How did Master Lin find out about this?”
“Are you stupid? Master Lin’s fortune telling skills are so good. How could he not tell?”
“That’s not true. If he could find out about it like that, why didn’t Master Lin tell everyone? After all, an innocent person got badly beaten up and it isn’t a good thing. Master Lin has such capable powers but still chose to watch it happen. That’s awful.”
“Are you stupid? Master Lin didn’t want to tell him because that would prevent this from happening.”
“F*ck your mom. If you say I’m stupid again, I’ll get angry.”
“You’re indeed stupid. Come hit me then…”
“^ You’re despicable. I’ll remember you for this.”
At a random place.
The five burglars looked at the news and were stunned. Then, four of them looked at Li Long.
“Li Long, did you kick him?”
Li Long nodded. “Yeah, I did.”
“D*mn, why did you hit a celebrity? We’re going to be wanted criminals,” everyone cried.
“I didn’t want to kick him. You guys said that it would be an empty place. I jumped in accurately but I realized that there was a huge crowd. It frightened me. I wanted to apologize but when I heard that he was a Korean, I couldn’t take it so I kicked him a few times,” Li Long said.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. We’ll sell the two artworks to the collector for five million dollars. As usual, we’ll donate one million and the rest of us will get eight hundred thousand dollars each. Let’s split up first. I’ll be returning to my hometown to plant trees. What about you guys?” The man that had disguised as a doctor was the leader.
The ‘pregnant lady’ said, “I’ll go back to Zhejiang to act in a drama show.”
“D*mn, you really believe that guy?”
The woman nodded. “Yeah, the Internet said that he’s a Master in fortune-telling. If I really become a celebrity, you guys can become my assistants and we don’t have to do this anymore.”
“Then I’ll go to the mountainous villages to teach. If you guys have another project, please contact me.”
The five of them stood up and stretched out their arms and gave each other a fist bump. “Alright, we’re all brothers and if one of us gets caught, we swear to never betray each other. Let’s split up…”
