The next day.
When Lin Fan arrived at Cloud Street, the door was unexpectedly surrounded by a group of reporters.
“Hey! That’s strange. What are these reporters here for?” Lin Fan was doubtful. He didn’t know why these reporters had come for. Could it be because of the Ma Qingzhou matter? It shouldn’t be. Ma Qingzhou was only infamous in Qingzhou. These reporters shouldn’t be here because of him.
However, he didn’t want to care too much about it for now. He wanted to take a look at the situation first.
The townsfolk stood in front of his shop’s front door.
“Look! There are reporter’s here again. Our Little boss of Cloud Street is famous once again. Every once in awhile, there will be reporters that come here.”
“He’s that awesome?”
“Of course! Who are we talking about here? It’s the Little boss of Cloud Street!”
“However, Little boss didn’t do anything recently. What’s the meaning of these reporters coming here?”
“Little boss is here!”
When Lin Fan appeared in the line of sight of the crowd, the reporters’ eyes began glowing. They hurriedly rushed over to surround Lin Fan.
“Dear reporters, what are you all doing here?”
“Master Lin, regarding the discussion that you posted on Weibo yesterday, is it true? Did this Ma Qingzhou really do all those bad deeds?” the reporters asked.
“From our understanding, Ma Qingzhou is a distinguished entrepreneur from Qingzhou. But his name is actually Ma Mu Feng, so why is he called Ma Qingzhou?”
Sure enough!
The reporters have come because of that matter!
Being famous can actually be a sin as well. He’s rather famous on Weibo, so his every action and every word can attract much attention.
Just like the more famous stars. Their casual gossipping online can even get them on the hot trending list. Isn’t that just scary?
As for Lin Fan, his exposure of Ma Qingzhou this time was rather huge. His position in Qingzhou was quite high and hence the reporters would probably have heard of it as well. They, therefore, wanted to come and get a better understanding of the situation. They never know if this might be a big news or not.
Lin Fan said, “Everybody! If you have questions, please ask one by one. The pretty lady over here, you may ask first.”
The reporters had many questions. With all these questions, their skulls might just blow apart.
The pretty reporter asked, “Master Lin, according to your Weibo, you said that this Ma Qingzhou is looking for you to treat his illness. What makes you so sure that he’s a bad person?”
Lin Fan nodded while smiling, “This is a very good question. However, I don’t have to answer this question. You all can take a look the discussion on my Weibo. The huge crowd of people online would have said everything.”
Another reporter asked, “May I ask, why is he called Ma Qingzhou?”
Lin Fan replied, “This question is somewhat complicated. However, in order to be addressed as Ma Qingzhou, it definitely isn’t easy. He might be someone with great influence in Qingzhou, and hence the name.”
A reporter asked, “Master Lin! May I ask why you chose to believe what you read online? From what we know, Ma Mu Feng is one of the top ten entrepreneurs in Qingzhou and is also a charitable person. He shouldn’t be like what’s described him online, should he?”
Lin Fan laughed and waved his hand, “This matter isn’t whether or not it looks like it or not, but rather, whether you trust it or not. The bad person can tell you to your face that he’s not a bad person. In future, you all will know if he’s a bad person or not.”
...
The reporters continued to ask a lot of questions. They asked till they were all satisfied before leaving.
Another day passed.
This news spread like wildfire online. Many people were confused after reading the news. They didn’t know who this Ma Qingzhou was. He wasn’t a star, so why was he being exposed?
At Qingzhou.
“What is he trying to do?” Ma Qingzhou was thoroughly filled with rage. He was also somewhat in disbelief. He actually dared to say those words to the reporters.
“Qingzhou bully Ma Qingzhou. Influential?”
Ma Qingzhou was especially stunned when he saw such headlines. Which f*cking newspaper company wrote that? Were they trying to die?
In Qingzhou, no one dared to provoke Ma Qingzhou. But when the news came out, they were all shocked.
Ordinary people aren’t able to come into contact with Ma Qingzhou like this, but they knew that Ma Qingzhou was very powerful in Qingzhou.
Some of the citizens who had been bullied by Ma Qingzhou before were very happy. They felt that his retribution was coming soon.
However, not after long, all the news online suddenly disappeared. It was as if it wasn’t even there before.
In a random meeting area in Qingzhou.
A group of wealthy kids was gathered together, playing.
“Guys! Take a look! It seems that Godfather Ma has been ridiculed by someone!”
“Why do you say that?”
“Take a look online! Someone is messing with Godfather Ma. Just which troop is this Shanghai’s Master Lin from? He has some guts.”
“Oh! The news is gone. Looks like Godfather Ma has made his move to suppress all the news. It’s unbelievable to see someone dare to mess with Godfather Ma. Should we put a bet?”
“How do you want to do it?”
“Let’s bet on how long it takes before this fellow kneels before Godfather Ma. I’ll bet one day.”
“I’ll bet two days!”
...
The kids all placed their bets. In Qingzhou, there wasn’t anyone that didn’t know who Godfather Ma was. Even for them, they didn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of Godfather Ma.
Some families had properties that worthed millions of dollars. Some even had 100 million and above. However, they still didn’t have the rights to even speak to Godfather Ma normally
At this moment, a young man sitting on an expensive chair said with disdain, “Ma Mufeng handles things to tyrannically! What society are we currently living in? Does he really think that he can rule us oppressively? Such things are inevitable. I’ve already heard some news that there are people who want to displace him but just couldn’t find the opportunity.”
“Right now, something has happened and it has been brought up online. Let’s see how he does it.”
The rest of the people shook their heads, “I don’t necessarily think that he would be able to carry it out. Everyone knows the background of Godfather Ma. What’s more is that he has a strong group of supporters backing him. It wouldn’t be easy.”
“That’s what I think as well. However, Godfather Ma isn’t in a good condition as of now. His influence is starting to weaken. The Huang family of Chengxi and the Ye family of Qingyuan District are intending on parting ways. Godfather Ma might not be able to do anything to stop them.”
“Enough! Let’s not talk about this anymore. It doesn’t have anything much to do with us.”
“Yes, yes. However, speaking seriously, others can’t wait to avoid someone like Godfather Ma. This Shanghai person is really awesome. He actually dares to ridicule Godfather Ma online. These days, it’s game over when it catches the eye of many online. For example, Liang Hao of the Liang family. All because of a girl, he knocked over her boyfriend in broad daylight and it was put online by passers-by. It caught the attention of many, and what happened in the end? The older generation didn’t even want to protect him despite coming from a powerful family. He had no choice but to serve a jail term.”
“Haha, here’s something that you probably don’t know. He was sentenced to ten years in jail. But from what I know, he is living comfortably in jail and would be released soon to fly overseas to hide.”
“That’s impossible.”
“What do you mean by that’s impossible? This is but a common occurrence in Qingzhou.”
“F*ck!” Someone suddenly shouted, scaring the people around him.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Go and take a look at Weibo! That Master Lin said that he wants to come to Qingzhou. Isn’t he just seeking death?”
Everyone was shocked. They hurriedly opened up their Weibo.
Lin Fan: Qingzhou, wait for me. Here I come!
The crowd was speechless.
“He’s basically like a goat entering a tiger’s mouth.”
