A Valiant Life Chapter 899 - There must be a dirty secret involved

Once that thought appeared, he couldn’t get rid of it anymore.

He felt like this angling major cla.s.sification of knowledge was domineering. Everything he fished up was strange and random.

A ninety-year-old red sage was very different from the red sages they usually had. The difference was like heaven and earth.

Its effectiveness was extremely high and when used to make medicine, it would become even more terrifying.

If he continued fis.h.i.+ng like this, would he fish up all the ingredients and be able to craft an immortality pill straight away?

But these were just some of Lin Fan’s thoughts. As of now, he wasn’t sure what he could possibly fish up.

But what he managed to fish up this time was much better than the previous catch.

“This thing, I have to bring it back to study it properly. I didn’t expect that there would be so many treasures here,” said Lin Fan.

At that moment, Zhao Ming Qing’s phone rang. Upon answering the phone, his expression slowly changed.

After keeping the ninety-year-old red sage safely, Lin Fan noticed that something wasn’t right with Zhao Ming Qing’s expression. He asked curiously, “What is it?”

Zhao Ming Qing sighed. “A teacher from the academy just called, saying that the students found out that I’m being replaced and they’re all protesting. He wants me to go back to explain things to the students. And he even said that there are a number of reporters there.”

Lin Fan chuckled. “Looks like you’re quite popular. The students can’t bear to see you leave.”

“Teacher, I’ll go back and handle the matter now,” said Zhao Ming Qing. If he didn’t show up personally, the students wouldn’t be able to focus on their studies.

Lin Fan said, “I’ll go with you to take a look.”

After trying out the angling major cla.s.sification of knowledge, Lin Fan knew what he was dealing with now. It was really not bad. Although he wasn’t completely clear about it yet, he had a rough idea.

It seemed that in the future, he wouldn’t be able to avoid fis.h.i.+ng.

Shanghai Chinese Medical Academy.

The teachers were trying to maintain order as they faced the protesting students. They were already a little helpless. Even they were extremely furious about Director Zhao being replaced but there was nothing they could do about it.

A number of reporters were at the scene, recording everything.

Their goal this time was simple. It was to expose this matter to the public. To them, there was definitely something going on that the higher-ups were hiding from the public.

“We object! We only want Director Zhao!”

“Yeah! We don’t want any other director, we only want Zhao Ming Qing, Director Zhao!”

The students were very united as they stood there, shouting their chants. It was as if they wouldn’t back down unless the matter was resolved.

Lin Fan and Zhao Ming Qing had reached the outside of the school. From far away, they could already hear the protests.

“Look, Ming Qing. You’re really loved by your students,” said Lin Fan with a grin.

Zhao Ming Qing felt helpless as he shook his head and sighed. “These kids…sigh…”

When the protesting students saw who had come, they suddenly cried out in surprise.

“Director Zhao is here!”

The reporters quickly looked over and were delighted as well. They hadn’t expected that not only Director Zhao had shown up, even Master Lin was here. Then, they hurriedly ran over.

The teachers said anxiously, “Director Zhao, hurry up and explain it to the students. Even the reporters are here. If this gets on the news, it would be bad.”

Zhao Ming Qing nodded and raised his hands. “Students, be quiet. Listen to me.”

The protesting students quietened down. They really wanted Director Zhao to stay and they did not welcome the new director at all.

“This matter is the organization’s decision. Initially, I was appointed to Jingchuan Chinese Medical University to be the Academy Director but because of my health, it is hard for me to keep going. I’m long past my retirement age, so now, I’ve already applied for retirement. But don’t worry, I’ll always be your Academy Director. When I’m free, I’ll come and visit you all. Alright, please disperse and focus on your studies. Work hard on becoming good Chinese doctors…”

Zhao Ming Qing could only try and appease the students. Young people weren’t afraid of anything.

But this matter had already been decided. There was no need to carry on arguing.

Meanwhile, the reporters kept on recording.

Lin Fan didn’t say a single word. It would be good for Zhao Ming Qing to retire as well so that he could finally relax.

Those leaders had really made Lin Fan displeased, but for now, he decided not to touch them.

However, now that the reporters were here, Lin Fan chuckled in his heart. Let me throw you all some dynamites.

Indeed!

The reporters surrounded Master Lin.

“Master Lin. What are your thoughts on this matter?”

“Director Zhao is your student. Do you think that there is anything wrong with this?”

Faced with the reporters’ queries, Lin Fan cleared his throat and said, “Since I’m here, then let me say a few words.”

“Firstly, I am very unhappy. Zhao Ming Qing is my student. When he told me today that he had been sent to Jingchuan Chinese Medical Academy, I did a search on the Internet. It’s more than a thousand kilometers away and I was wondering who was the idiot who gave that order.”

“My student isn’t young anymore. He’s not as healthy as a young man either. How could they toss him about like that? That’s why I told him to just retire. Since he’s being pushed aside by them, what’s the point of the working so hard for them? It’s better for him to just stay by my side and study Chinese medicine with me.”

The reporters’ jaws dropped. “Master Lin, you said that he’s being pushed aside?”

Lin Fan showed a stunned expression and said in an exaggerated tone, “Huh? What did I say? Pushed aside? I didn’t say anything like that!”

The reporters felt helpless. You clearly just said that! Why won’t you admit it? But after thinking for a moment, they started laughing.

“Master Lin, then why do you think Director Zhao is being replaced?” asked the reporters once more.

When Zhao Ming Qing heard his teacher’s words, he had no idea what to say. Although that was the truth, he couldn’t say it so bluntly.

Lin Fan was put in a tough spot. “About why he’s being replaced, you shouldn’t ask me. It’s hard for me to say, isn’t it? As for whether it’s because I didn’t hand over the prescription to the higher-ups, I think the possibility isn’t high, so I don’t know either…”

The reporters were speechless.

Don’t be like that, master Lin. You’re telling us the whole situation but you’re still giving us a helpless expression. How respectable.

But to Lin Fan, he could say whatever he wanted. Perhaps others would be afraid, but he wasn’t afraid at all. He was just counterattacking. Let’s see who’s afraid of who!

About Zhao Ming Qing being replaced, he was already very upset.

Now that the reporters were here, he had to say his share of words.

…

The next day!

The news appeared on the Internet.

‘Director Zhao Ming Qing has been demoted and he has no choice but to retire.’

‘As a contributor to the development of the leukemia prescription, why was he not promoted but instead demoted? Could it be because Master Lin publicized the prescription on the Internet?’

‘Students can’t bear to see their beloved Director Zhao leave and they start a protest!’

This news instantly exploded. The hype regarding the prescription hadn’t died down and now that a contributor was being demoted, it instantly drew the attention of the netizens.

To them, there was definitely some dirty secret involved.
