Chapter 1268: Chapter 1269: Repaying Evil with Good
This whole thing started because of him. His son is innocent, so he has to stand up and defend his son.
“Get out of the way!” Lin Yifan scolded.
He doesn’t want to hurt the innocent, only wishes for those in the wrong to be punished.
“I won’t let go. My son was forced to agree to do this because of me, so I’ll take the blame for him.” The boy’s father held tightly onto Lin Yifan, refusing to let go.
These words seemed to hold a story, and Lin Yifan also felt the boy was not an evil person, otherwise, he wouldn’t have told the truth earlier and let him leave.
He came here to seek an explanation, so he calmed down and asked, “What difficulties does he have?”
“Months ago, I was bedridden due to illness; my son went out every day to sell flowers to earn money for my medical expenses. Yesterday, a few young people approached him, asking him to help with something, no matter how much money was offered.
My son only hoped for my recovery, so he didn’t take their money, he just wanted them to heal my illness.
Those people were extraordinary and cured my sickness entirely with a pill; my son also kept his promise, helped them with their task, and lured you all here.”
The boy’s father explained the whole story, pleading with Lin Yifan not to place the blame on his son.
Lin Yifan was somewhat moved, perhaps this is the blood-thicker-than-water bond of family.
A small boy cannot continue paying large medical fees for two months, so he curiously asked, “Is it just you and your son at home?”
“My wife works in a factory, and all our remaining money is spent on my worn-out body.” The boy’s father replied.
Talking about this matter, he was filled with self-reproach and guilt.
A man should be the pillar of a family, yet he cannot relieve his wife and child from worries, feeling utterly useless.
“I see!”
Lin Yifan finally understood the whole story. The boy was truly forced into a corner.
He did not blame the boy because if it were him, he might have done the same thing.
“You have a good son, cherish him well. Also, if you want a stable, high-paying job, call this number and tell whoever answers that Mr. Lin recommended you. The person will naturally make arrangements.”
Lin Yifan wrote down Yi Chen’s phone number, placed it on the table, and then turned around and left the boy’s home.
“Mr. Lin, why do you repay evil with kindness? Don’t you hate my son?”
The father asked, his heart already surrounded by warmth.
“He was just exploited and isn’t wicked-hearted, so why should I blame someone who’s not truly evil?”
Lin Yifan countered, his meaning was quite clear.
The boy’s father was moved to tears and knelt on the ground, thankful: “Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your magnanimousness, Liu is eternally grateful.”
The boy proactively apologized: “Big brother! I’m sorry!”
“It’s okay! Remember, never do things again that harm others without benefiting yourself, or it will lead to endless trouble.” Lin Yifan reminded.
“I understand!”
The boy responded seriously.
Realizing his mistake, he never again wanted to do such harmful things.
Xiao Fang and the Great Elder were outside the house, they heard the conversation between Lin Yifan and the boy’s family and understood the reasons.
This wasn’t the boy’s fault, but of those with ulterior motives, so they supported Lin Yifan’s approach of repaying evil with kindness.
After rejoining Xiao Fang and the Great Elder, Lin Yifan left the slums and returned to the hotel.
The boy’s family saw him off, looking at Lin Yifan’s distant figure, the boy’s father had complex emotions.
He was moved by those words from Lin Yifan, a high-income stable job is what he always dreamed of, but such opportunities never seemed to come to someone with no education or knowledge. So hearing that Lin Yifan could offer him such a job, he was very moved, and couldn’t repay him.
“Son! This is our great benefactor, in the future, make sure to repay his kindness, understood?”
“Understood, father!”
The boy answered with the purest voice, without any falsehood.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang parted ways and returned to their own rooms.
Before separating, they lingered for a while, reluctant to part.
Returning to the room, Lin Yifan found Du Yuze still awake, unable to contain his curiosity he asked: “Why are you not sleeping so late?”
“Waiting for the boss to return!” Du Yuze answered.
“Come on! Why wait for me? I’m not your man.”
Lin Yifan got goosebumps again, feeling increasingly that Du Yuze may have orientation issues.
“But you are my boss! If the boss doesn’t sleep, how can a subordinate dare to sleep?”
“Okay! Okay! Now that I’m back, can you sleep?” Lin Yifan asked.
“I can, but I want to know, where did the boss play today, did things with Junior Sister Xiao Fang progress further?”
Du Yuze asked with a mischievous grin, giving the impression of being very sleazy.
“Can’t you act like an old lady gossiping?” Lin Yifan rolled his eyes, really wanting to punch Du Yuze.
“Alright! Alright!”
Du Yuze dared not ask further because he sensed a hint of danger.
Escaping from this bothersome fellow, Lin Yifan went to wash his feet.
After washing his feet, he immediately went to bed and didn’t do anything else.
He dared not take a bath because he felt Du Yuze’s thoughts were problematic, afraid of being spied on.
Sharing a room with someone like this, he was on high alert all night, not daring to relax; hence, the next day, he looked exhausted.
Seeing Lin Yifan listless, Du Yuze asked curiously: “Boss, didn’t you sleep well last night?”
“Obviously, how could I sleep well sharing a room with you?” Lin Yifan replied crankily.
It’s all caused by Du Yuze with unknown inclinations, so he vented his anger on Du Yuze.
“Is that my fault?”
Du Yuze looked aggrieved, feeling very wronged.
He hadn’t even gotten up last night, yet Lin Yifan blamed him, which was frustrating.
“Who else then?”
Lin Yifan really wanted to kick Du Yuze away, but he couldn’t find any grounds, truly helpless.
After breakfast, the Great Elder gathered all disciples to head to the Secret Realm location to prepare to open the Secret Realm.
The Secret Realm isn’t in Changchun City, but within a forest, so they need to fly a distance to get there.
This distance is nothing for Divinity Transformation Realm experts; thus, they no longer chose to take flying vehicles, directly utilizing Qinggong and went.
Other Sects did the same, hence for a moment, the sky above Changchun City had many Immortals flying, extremely wondrous.
