Chapter 343: Stumble! Crime Scene!

After all, Lin Fan now worked at Qingxi’s company as her assistant’s assistant. Since they were no longer enemies, there was no reason for Su Mo to stand by if something happened to him.

Of course, that was assuming Lin Fan wasn’t the one in the wrong.

Su Mo continued watching.

Then the four muscular men suddenly moved.

For a moment, Su Mo’s expression became serious.

But the next second, he realised that he had completely misunderstood the situation.

Rather than attacking Lin Fan, the four men surrounded him like excited fans who had just encountered their idol.

Their faces were filled with excitement, and they were practically fighting to get closer to him.

Su Mo blinked.

What the...

Seeing that Lin Fan wasn’t being harassed at all, Su Mo relaxed and smiled.

"Never mind."

He started the car again and turned around.

As he drove away, several excited shouts drifted faintly from the alley.

"...Superhuman!"

"...Lord Lavatory!"

Su Mo’s lips twitched.

While driving, he muttered, "It seems that even after so many days, Lin Fan’s popularity still hasn’t diminished."

He couldn’t help but think about the Popularity System.

If Lin Fan weren’t working at Qingxi’s company, he would probably have been the best candidate for it.

After all, infamy was also a form of popularity.

Sigh. Too bad.

If his infamy affects Qingxi’s company, that could become troublesome.

Unfortunately, Su Mo didn’t know that his worry was completely unnecessary.

Lin Fan had already resigned from Yang Qingxi’s company.

---

The scene went back to a few minutes earlier.

Lin Fan had bought a pack of instant noodles and was walking along the side of the road, looking rather listless. He sighed as if he had become disappointed in this world, and more so in himself.

’Sister Rui must think I’m pathetic, right?’

Thinking about this, Lin Fan began agonizing even more. However, he didn’t dare to call her again.

Taking the advice of the mysterious master who had saved his life, Lin Fan had decided to work at the company of the people he once considered his enemies.

He wanted to observe them closely and decide whether his revenge was truly meaningful.

However, before he even had the opportunity to meet anyone from the Yang family, Lin Fan was kicked out of the company after working there for only a few days.

It wasn’t because of the enemy he had been thinking about, nor was he forced out through coercion or any other reason.

He was simply fired because his trusting cousin was too demanding and disappointed with his work.

Not only was he incompetent and unable to handle the workload, but he had also messed up quite a lot.

Unable to take it anymore, he had argued with his cousin that only donkeys could work that much.

Much to his surprise, she showed him the workload handled by the other employees.

It turned out there really were such donkeys.

Helpless, with tears in his eyes, Lin Fan could only give up.

This workload isn’t meant for humans to complete.

After losing his job, he returned to his rented apartment and began thinking about finding another job with a lighter workload. Even if the pay was low, at least he would be able to get by.

For now, he was in the middle of looking for a new job and was living off instant noodles.

As for college, he still went there once in a while and was preparing for his final examinations.

However, he knew himself well.

After his rebirth, he wasn’t nearly as diligent with his studies, and he would find it difficult to achieve a good score.

So, it was better to focus on finding a job right now.

Anyway, after graduation, his situation would probably remain the same.

As he turned around the corner, Lin Fan entered an alleyway, deciding to take a shortcut.

At the other end of the alley, a man was pressing a woman against the wall. He had a knife pointed at her neck and was trying to rob her.

"Help—*Mmph*"

The woman tried to scream for help, but her shouts were muffled as the man clamped his other hand over her mouth.

"Shut up, woman, or I’ll slit your throat. Give me everything you have, and I’ll let you go."

The woman trembled in fear, and tears almost filled her eyes. She could only pray that someone had heard her short scream and would come to help.

Fortunately, it seemed her prayers had worked.

"Stop right there!"

Hurried footsteps sounded from inside the alley.

The robber became vigilant when he saw four muscleheads staring at him with righteous expressions.

"Who are you lot? Get lost and mind your own business!"

The robber snarled at them while pulling the woman closer, using her to threaten them.

"I am Sam."

"Tom."

"Bert."

"Ron."

The four introduced themselves one after another, while Sam gave the robber a serious look.

"Let her go!"

The other three also flexed their muscles, making the robber nervous.

However, the robber didn’t back down. Instead, he became even more fierce.

"Want me to let her go? Not a chance! You all back off, otherwise I’ll kill her."

Just when the situation fell into a stalemate, light footsteps sounded from behind the robber, who was still holding the woman hostage.

"Excuse me?"

Lin Fan saw the scene in front of him and was startled.

Is this a crime scene?

He cursed his luck for stumbling into such a situation by chance.

’Darn! Why did I have to speak just now? If only I had turned around after hearing that shout earlier.’ He was regretful.

Just as he was considering how to leave without attracting more attention as these guys confronted each other, the robber suddenly turned around with bloodshot eyes.

"Shit! So, it was a trap! You were all stalling time just to corner me. Damnit! I won’t accept this!"

The robber thought that Lin Fan, with his scrawny body, shouldn’t be able to stop him alone.
