163: Chapter 163 He treated him like his own son
To Lin Fan's surprise:
His father was looking at him with a calm expression.
It seemed that he wasn't too stirred by the fact that the person before him was Mr. Chen.
"Thank you for protecting my wife."
After a moment of silence, his father spoke, and Lin Fan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
He had a premonition that if he spoke any more, he would likely have his identity discovered by this man.
"Mr. ... Mr. Chen, why are you here?"
A trembling voice came from the side, and everyone immediately looked toward the source of the sound.
It was another man in a suit speaking.
He forced a smile on his face, but he could not hide the fear in his heart.
"Why, am I not allowed to come?"
Mr. Chen's words made the man's body tremble, and he subconsciously took a step back.
"No... I wouldn't dare, I just didn't expect to see you here."
The man hurriedly explained, his smile still stiff.
"Oh, so where should I appear so that you wouldn't be surprised? It seems you know my whereabouts like the back of your hand."
Lin Fan said, stepping closer to the three men.
The three of them panicked instantly.
They didn't understand why Mr. Chen wanted to twist their words.
They didn't dare say another word, fearing they would anger Mr. Chen and end up with the same fate as their companion.
Seeing the terrified expressions on the three men, Lin Fan paused, then said:
"The worker at your construction site was nearly seriously injured in an accident, yet instead of caring about his injuries, you forced him to pay compensation for Materials he didn't directly destroy."
"Just because he is an ordinary person and unable to resist you Mages? Is this what a Mage should be like? You are simply a disgrace to Mages."
Lin Fan deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound hoarse and deep.
The three men looked embarrassed and bowed their heads to apologize to Lin Fan.
"Am I the one you should be apologizing to?"
Lin Fan's tone was sharp.
The three men shuddered.
They immediately turned to the father who was holding his daughter on the hospital bed.
"We were wrong just now, we are deeply sorry."
"It was our foolishness; we shouldn't have been so unreasonable."
"Please forgive us!"
The three apologized in unison.
Then they turned to Lin Fan's mother to apologize for their previous rude words and actions, and also offered atonement for their companion who had just used force.
Lin Fan's mother watched the three Mages begging for mercy in such a humble manner.
She was stunned for a moment.
Then she looked at the masked Mr. Chen, her heart filled with warmth.
Finally, someone had stood up for their family.
This is what a Mage should look like.
But Lin Fan did not stop there; after making the three apologize, he ordered them to pay for his father's medical expenses.
Although his father was not injured and did not receive treatment.
But he was unconscious when he was brought in, had undergone multiple tests, and there were discharge settlement fees, all of which needed to be covered by them.
The three hurriedly and obediently paid the expenses his mother had previously covered, then cautiously asked if they could leave.
Lin Fan told them that things were not over yet.
His father almost lost his life at their construction site, so they had to pay compensation.
Lin Fan demanded that the three compensate his father with ten million yuan.
He said he had already shown mercy, and the three dared not object, transferring the money with bitter hearts.
In addition, they also had to bear the repair costs for the damaged hospital wall.
His father wanted to refuse this compensation, but was interrupted by Lin Fan, who said this was what they deserved.
Since Mr. Chen insisted, his father could not refuse again.
After the money arrived, the three left in a hurry, rushing to pick up their companion outside the hospital and transferring to another hospital for treatment.
They really didn't dare to stay in the same hospital as Mr. Chen.
They were also present at the previous auction and knew well that Mr. Chen was "vindictive".
After the three left, the hospital staff also dispersed, leaving only Lin Fan's family of four in the ward.
Lin Fan turned around.
Just as he was about to speak, his mother suddenly walked toward him.
"Mr. Chen, thank you so much for helping us out of this predicament."
His mother said with a sincere smile.
This time, she did not bow, remembering Mr. Chen's words from just before.
Lin Fan nodded slightly.
Then he looked at his father on the hospital bed.
His father noticed Mr. Chen's gaze and also stood up to express his thanks.
Lin Fan did not stop him, as long as he didn't bow, it was fine.
"Thank you for helping my mom and dad."
A childish voice came from behind his father; it was Lin Duo.
The little girl looked at him with starry eyes, just like a fan seeing an idol.
A smile curled under Lin Fan's mask, and he turned to look at his father.
He explained.
Today's events were all caused by him.
He fought a Demonic Beast, which caused it to stir up a gale, nearly injuring his father and many other citizens.
Therefore, he came specifically to make compensation for the trouble he had caused.
Upon hearing this, the couple was shocked.
Learning that the strange weather was caused by a Demonic Beast.
And that Mr. Chen had gone to fight it alone, they were even more alarmed.
His mother was the first to speak, asking with concern:
"That must have been very dangerous, are you alright?"
Listening to his mother's words, Lin Fan almost laughed out loud, but he forcibly held it back, not revealing any emotion.
At this moment, he was Mr. Chen and absolutely could not do anything that would reveal his identity.
He nodded and took out an alliance card.
"This is compensation for you, since you were nearly involved in an accident."
He said, handing the card to his father.
His father looked at the alliance card, naturally knowing its purpose, but did not take it immediately.
"Mr. Chen, you don't need to compensate me. You acted for the sake of all the citizens in the city, so I will not blame you. Besides, those people have already given me quite a bit of compensation."
His father said with a troubled smile.
How could he accept Mr. Chen's money?
Mr. Chen was a figure everyone wanted to befriend; accepting the money would make him seem petty.
Furthermore, everything Mr. Chen did was for the citizens of Baiyun City; he really felt unworthy of it.
Lin Fan's mother had the same thought.
Mr. Chen risked his life to protect the safety of the whole city; they were the ones who should be thanking him.
But Lin Fan had no intention of accepting a refusal.
"I insist on giving it, and I have also compensated others who were affected, so you don't need to overthink it."
Lin Fan stuffed the black alliance card into his father's hand, then turned to leave.
He walked to the door of the ward, without looking back, and said faintly:
"There are over six hundred million yuan on the card; use it well and take good care of your family."
As his voice fell.
His figure disappeared into thin air.
His father and wife stared blankly at the place where Mr. Chen had just been standing, dumbfounded, their mouths slightly agape.
Over six hundred million yuan!
His father felt that the card in his hand was instantly weighing a thousand jun.
Lin Fan left the hospital using Void Walk.
He appeared in a quiet corner of the street and took off his black robe and mask.
Then he returned to the hospital again.
When he arrived, his family was preparing to leave.
"You're here, Lin Fan. Help me carry some things, we're ready to go home."
His mother said when she saw him.
Her gaze swept over her son's black hair and then looked at her husband; the two had a tacit understanding and simultaneously thought of something.
Mr. Chen's black hair was exactly the same as Lin Fan's.
But they quickly shook their heads.
