A Valiant Life

Chapter 743: I Was Young And Foolish

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

At Cloud Street.

When Lin Fan reached his shop, a flock of reporters surrounded him.

“Master Lin, may I ask what are your views on the matter regarding Ying Jin’s dirty dealings?”

“Why did you think that Chen Rui An was wrongly accused? Did you realized something?”

“Since the evidence is out right now, Master Lin, is there anything you would like to say?”

The reporters asked him in such a messy manner. They were extremely excited. After waiting for so long, there has finally been another huge news.

The surrounding shop owners stood outside.

“Hehe, Little boss is just too famous. Once again, he’s attracted another bunch of reporters.”

“Our Little boss has said it correctly once again. One look and he’s able to tell that Ying Jin wasn’t a good person.”

“I remember someone’s stall used to have Ying Jin as their avatar?”

“It’s mine. I took it down during this period of time. How can I leave it there when she was having a feud with Little boss? That’s impossible.”

“Awesome! What a brother!”

“Hehe, no kidding. Little boss is precious to us. We have to protect him.”

...

Lin Fan waved his hand, “Dear reporters, please quieten down. Please ask me one question at a time. There are so many of you guys here with so many mouths. How can I answer them all?”

“I’ll first answer the first question. Why do I think that Chen Rui An was sabotaged? It’s because the eyes are windows to the soul. I can his dedication and passion for music from his eyes. How can he have stolen someone else’s song? It’s not what I said. You guys can go and take a look at the show two years ago. With Chen Rui An’s music and singing capabilities, even if he were to sing old songs, he would have won season with ease. Why would he need to steal anyone’s song? Don’t you guys think so too?”

The reporters nodded their heads. What he said made a lot of sense. It was exactly as he had said. They had watched the show two years ago. No matter what anyone said, Chen Rui An’s voice was really good. Moreover, his singing capabilities were awesome. He could obviously have won the competition based on his voice alone. He didn’t need to steal anyone’s song.

Lin Fan would definitely not say that he could tell just from his appearance. After all, he was now a public figure. If he were to put it like this, he wouldn’t know if people would call it propaganda and superstitions.

However, even if he were to say it, it wouldn’t matter. He’d let whoever that dared to fight counterfeiting come at him. He would just put down the other party so much so that they’d pee their pants.

Lin Fan momentarily thought about it for awhile, “I’d answer another question. Regarding Ying Jin, I have a very bad impression of her. This meddling woman is just too arrogant.”

The reporters were stunned. They didn’t expect Master Lin to rage like this. Under the broad daylight and in front of countless cameras, he actually dared to call Ying Jin a meddling woman.

This was very good.

“Think about her appearance. From her appearance, you can tell she’s very petty. She also likes to act like a big shot. She doesn’t put anyone in her eyes. She wouldn’t be called Ying Jin if she doesn’t meddle with dirty dealings. Oh, that’s right, most netizens wouldn’t be able to tell that those photos had been edited before. There’s a huge difference with the actual person. As long as you listen to me, it’s true.”

The reporters all just stared at Master Lin. They were all temporarily lost for words. They only acted based on muscle-memory and continued to snap their cameras.

They realized that Master Lin bluntly devalued Ying Jin. His hatred for her must be huge.

Lin Fan took a cup of tea from Wu You Lan and took a sip. Following which, his expression became serious.

“The music world is a very strange place. How could there be any dirty dealings? Having dirty dealings is a very dangerous thing. I bet you guys never thought that it was actually stifling talents. If you meet a talented person, what would you do? It would definitely be to cultivate that person’s talent, rather than to use underhanded means to suppress and yet envy his or her talent. For example, Ying Jin suppressed Chen Rui An wasn’t all because of money. From what I can see, Ying Jin was actually jealous of Chen Rui An’s talent.”

The reporters, “...”

Lin Fan continued to babble, “Also, there’s that Zhao Li, who was also involved in the dirty dealings. This filled me with much disdain. It’s too shameful to think that she’s a mentor with someone that meddles with dirty dealings. In the recent years, they have been donating a lot of money and didn’t continue to harm the newer generations. If it were me, I’d have immediately withdrawn from the music industry, never to incite trouble again.”

The reporters were dumbstruck. They were filming everything he said. However, they felt that something wasn’t quite right.

What he said was rather harsh. If this were to be broadcast, it would definitely get a lot of attention.

Wu You Lan secretly gave Lin Fan a tug. Even though she had been standing beside Brother Lin all these while, there were some things that he couldn’t go overboard saying.

It would incite a lot of hatred.

Lin Fan saw what Wu You Lan was trying to do and momentarily laughed.

How helpful.

“Look! My friend thinks that my words have been too blunt. However, what I’m trying to say is that I’m a very blunt person by nature. There’s no helping it.” Lin Fan said.

One of the reporters whispered, “Master Lin, we know that you are a person of justice. If you feel that the words you said previously aren’t appropriate, we can delete it.”

Lin Fan waved his hand, “There’s no need. Just broadcast it like that. There’s nothing I said that I regret. In this world, can’t someone comment on someone doing wrong?”

The reporters were contented. They were feeling very happy that they had obtained another huge news.

The reporters were satisfied and walked away.

Lin Fan’s smiled. He had to be this spiteful. If he were to be too modest, he might as well not have said anything.

Fraud Tian sighed. This fellow has once again spoken his mind. It seems that he’s deliberately trying to come up with something.

At the entrance of a hotel.

Even though Zhao Li tried to conceal herself, she was still recognized by the reporters and was immediately surrounded by them. The flashes kept coming.

“Zhao Li! Do you have anything to say about the dirty dealings from two years ago?”

“Ying Jin received 5 million dollars. How much did you get?”

“Did the other two judges get any money?”

“As a senior in the music industry, why did you have to get involved in such dirty dealings?”

Facing the reporter’s non-stop questioning, Zhao Li only looked down. She didn’t say a single thing. She finally managed to escape the place through the protection of her bodyguards.

Right now, she even had thoughts of dying.

That b*stard was all to blame. If it weren’t for that b*stard, none of these would have resurfaced.

She was done for. This time, she was completely done for.

...

Ying Jin knew that escaping wouldn’t solve anything. Therefore, she immediately requested for a conference with the reporters.

In the conference room of the hotel room.

It was very quickly filled with reporters.

Ying Jin, however, was seated in front, not saying a single word. She was protected by many bodyguards.

The reporters started asking their questions. They were all questions about the dirty dealings.

Everyone knew that this issue affected Ying Jin greatly.

Even though she was a senior in the music industry, which variety show would dare to invite her to be a mentor now that she had such ugly news?

Ying Jin looked at the reporters. She didn’t know if she’d be successful in clearing her name. But no matter what, she still had to try.

At this moment, Ying Jin opened her mouth. But at that instant, she started to cry instead.

“At this point in time, I just want to say that I’m sorry to whoever that loved me. I’ve disappointed you all.”

“The dirty dealings from two years ago are all true. Right now, I can’t regret it enough.”

“I can only blame myself for being too young and foolish. I just couldn’t resist.”

Ying Jin was crying very badly. Her eyes became hazy from the tears. She looked very pitiful.

Pfft.

The reporters who had the guts immediately flamed her the moment they heard this.

Too young at that time?

Too foolish?

Can you at least show some f*cking face?

You’re already approaching fifty-years-old, and you can still say that you were too young?
