Chapter 1079: There’s a problem

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In the supermarket.

Lin Fan bought a pack of cigarettes. Although he didn’t smoke often, he would occasionally have a smoke.

“Fourteen dollars,” said the boss.

Lin Fan took out a $20 note, then picked up another bottle of milk from the side. He needed to replenish his body a little.

“I’ll have another bottle of Tianshu Milk,” said Lin Fan.

He opened it and drank one mouth of it. Immediately, he felt that something wasn’t right. Then, he took another mouth and tasted it carefully. Again, he felt that something wasn’t right.

The shop owner looked at this customer in front of him and muttered in his heart. Is there something wrong with this guy? It’s just a bottle of milk, isn’t it?

Lin Fan’s brows furrowed as he said, “Boss, something’s wrong with this milk.”

The boss looked at Lin Fan helplessly. He felt like this guy was going to ask for a refund. “What’s wrong with it?”

Lin Fan shook his head. “There’s something inside that’s in excess.”

F*ck! When the boss heard that, he burst out cursing in his heart. Why don’t you just say the milk is spoiled? Something inside is in excess? Your mouth is really powerful.

But the boss didn’t dare to offend someone like this. “Forget it, forget it. I’ll give you another bottle of milk. This is from Mengniu. It’s produced locally.”

Lin Fan opened it and took a gulp. “There’s nothing wrong with this milk. But there’s a problem with that milk.”

When the boss heard that, he didn’t know what to say anymore. What the heck is wrong now?

“Are you here to pick a quarrel? I’ve sold these two brands of milk for years. Tell me, what’s the problem here?”

Lin Fan shook his head, then took another bottle of Tianshu Milk from the shelf. He took a gulp and tasted it carefully. He even waited for a moment before taking a few more sips. “There’s a problem. There’s a problem with this milk.”

The boss looked at this person and even took out his phone as he was about to call the police. He felt that this person was either crazy or he was here to scam him. In his mind, he was thinking. Could it be that there’s a new scamming tactic now?

In the past, there were car scams, child scams, hospital scams, and now, there’s a milk scam?

“Boss, which company does this Tianshu belong to?” asked Lin Fan.

The boss looked at Lin Fan alertly. “This is a Japanese company. What do you want to do?”

Lin Fan took out a red-colored note and put it on the table. “I’ll take this box of Tianshu Milk.”

At that moment, a parent brought her child into the store. “Boss, give me a box of Tianshu Milk.”

“Alright,” replied the boss.

“Wait a moment,” Lin Fan interrupted. Then, he looked at the parent. “Don’t buy Tianshu Milk. There’s something wrong with it. If you drink it, it’ll be bad for your body.”

The boss was a little angry now. “Youngster, are you here to pick a quarrel? What’s wrong with my milk?”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “I’m not saying that there’s a problem with your milk. I’m saying that there’s a problem with this milk manufacturer. Sigh, forget it. Buy it then. One box won’t kill you. You’ll find out soon.”

“F*ck!” When the boss heard that, he instantly erupted. He had an urge to kill this guy. Saying that drinking one box won’t kill you, wouldn’t that scare my customers away?

Meanwhile, the parent heard that and was stunned. “Boss, give me Mengniu Milk then.”

Hearing that from the customer, the boss calmed down a little. At the same time, he swore to himself that if this guy said that there was a problem with Mengniu milk too, he would fight to the death with this guy.

After that guy left, the boss cursed, “Moron, don’t let me see you again.”

“Mom, that big brother looked like Big Brother Lin,” said the child as he pulled his mother’s hand.

The parent asked curiously, “Big Brother Lin?”

The child replied, “I’m talking about Master Lin. Our teacher really likes him. She shows us photos of Big Brother Lin every day.”

The boss immediately denied it, “That’s not possible. How could Master Lin be so idiotic?”

The parent nodded as well. She felt that this boss made sense. How could Master Lin be so idiotic? Then, she bought the box of milk and left happily with her child.

Cloud Street!

Fraud Tian saw Lin Fan carrying a box of milk back. He went up excitedly. “Ah, kid, you even know to buy things back. I’m dying of thirst. Quick, give me a bottle.”

Lin Fan didn’t stop him. He just let Fraud Tian open the bottle.

Very soon, Fraud Tian had taken a bottle of milk delightfully and drank a big gulp. He felt great. But when he looked at Lin Fan, he was taken aback.

“What are you doing, kid? You can’t waste milk like that. You’re taking one mouth and then spitting it out. What the heck are you doing?”

Lin Fan looked at Fraud Tian and said, “Fraud, did you taste anything wrong with it?”

“Something wrong?” Fraud Tian was taken aback. He looked at the bottle of milk in his hand and took another sip. “Nope. It’s sweet. It’ll nourish my body.”

Lin Fan took another small sip, then placed the bottle of milk on the table and shook his head. “Something’s wrong. I feel like there are excess aflatoxins. And it’s not just a small excess, it’s an excess of 200%.”

“What the heck are aflatoxins?” Fraud Tian didn’t understand him. Then, he took another big gulp of milk.

“It’s a cancer-causing substance. It’s quite a powerful carcinogen,” said Lin Fan casually.

*Pfft!*

When Fraud Tian heard that, he immediately spat out a mouthful of milk.

Elder Liang was passing by when he saw a thick, white liquid around Fraud Tian’s mouth and he was shocked. He said in disbelief, “Fraud, which f*cking maniac shot into your mouth?”

Fraud Tian ignored him. Instead, he went in front of Lin Fan and said, “Kid, you’re not tricking me, are you? How could you tell?”

Lin Fan glanced at Fraud Tian. “Nonsense. Who do you think I am? I’m Master Lin.”

Elder Liang saw that Fraud Tian had ignored him and became curious. “What’s going on? What are you two doing?”

Fraud Tian said, “Elder Liang, this kid is saying that there’s a substance in excess in Tianshu Milk.”

“That’s a Japanese brand, Master Lin. Why did you buy a Japanese brand?” asked Elder Liang curiously.

Lin Fan said, “I just casually picked it up. I drank one mouth of it and felt that something wasn’t right, so I took a few more mouthfuls but it still didn’t feel right. That’s why I bought a whole box back to see whether I’m mistaken or there’s something really wrong with it.”

Then, under the surprised gaze of the rest, Lin Fan took out another 5 bottles and drank a few sips from each of them.

“They all have problems. It’s not just an issue with the one I drank.”

Wu You Lan said in a surprised tone, “Brother Lin, could you have made a mistake? After all, how can anyone taste something like that?”

Lin Fan shook his head and said confidently, “I definitely am not wrong. I really tasted it.”

Then, he took out his phone and started typing in a frenzy.

“Brother Lin, what are you doing?” asked Zhao Zhong Yang anxiously.

Lin Fan replied, “I’m posting on Weibo to warn everyone and also to give the Quality Inspection Office a heads up.”

Zhao Zhong Yang said, “Brother Lin, you can’t just post whatever you want. If you’re wrong, you would have to bear legal responsibility. Moreover, you’re a big Internet celebrity with a lot of fans. You could be sued for spreading false rumors and the punishment could be up to ten months of imprisonment.”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “I have a lot of confidence in myself. I can’t delay this. Otherwise, who knows how many people would drink it unknowingly?”

At that moment, Lin Fan finished typing his post and he posted it.

*Ding ding*

Zhao Zhong Yang immediately took out his phone. When he saw what Brother Lin had posted, he was completely dumbfounded.

This is a f*cking big deal.

Although it’s a Japanese company, you can’t play around like that!
