Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Some Things, You Have to Fight With All Your Might!

Evening time.

Lin Fan, dressed in a sharp suit, drove a large G into the slow-moving traffic.

The light drizzle made the already congested rush hour even more jam-packed.

"Handsome, where are you? I’m already at the entrance of Tianxiang Pavilion!"

Yang Linglong’s video call came again.

"I’m stuck on Century Bridge, I’ll be there as soon as I get off. Miss, I finally understand why all men want to be kept men—delivering clothes and watches, the salespeople looked at me differently today,"

Lin Fan laughed as he looked at the watch on his wrist and the clothes on his body.

These were all carefully chosen by Yang Linglong for him at noon today.

She casually spent hundreds of thousands without a second thought.

"So, you see, you’ve struck gold. Tonight, you’ll definitely be the proudest man at the event,"

Yang Linglong, dressed in an evening gown, had spent a good part of the afternoon getting ready.

She was determined to outshine everyone at the event.

"I really can’t understand how a suit can be worth seventy or eighty thousand—it’s not like it’s made of gold."

Lin Fan couldn’t help but complain.

"It seems even a Martial Cultivator doesn’t know everything. You get what you pay for—this is a high-end suit made of pure cotton. It’s so comfortable, and this is considered quite ordinary. Some suits are worth hundreds of thousands, but you need to be careful later, don’t get it wet, it could shrink,"

Yang Linglong said with a smile, sitting inside the car.

"Alright, alright—the first time in my life wearing something so expensive, how could I let it get rained on? When I get back, I should enshrine it and burn incense to it every day, right?"

Lin Fan’s words made Yang Linglong tremble with laughter.

The evening gown, already fitting closely to her body, undulated up and down nonstop.

"Then my prince, drive slowly and be safe. I’ll be waiting for you to help me out of the car,"

Yang Linglong, watching Lin Fan’s handsome appearance, felt even more infatuated.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man.

Lin Fan, dressed in a suit today, was absolutely sprightly and energetic.

It made her distracted for quite a while.

"Okay, later I’ll carry you out of the car,"

Lin Fan said with a smile and hung up the phone.

As the traffic slowly inched forward.

But suddenly, the car in front came to a sharp halt. Fortunately, Lin Fan braked in time to avoid a collision.

"Do you even know how to drive?"

Lin Fan frowned slightly, muttering to himself.

Just then, the car in front lowered its window, and a hand pointed towards the other side of the road.

Instinctively following the direction of the hand, Lin Fan noticed the problem.

On the pedestrian path outside the other lane, a woman in her thirties, soaked to the skin, was climbing over the guardrail.

And in her right hand, she held a baby, still in swaddling clothes.

Seeing no pedestrians around, Lin Fan instinctively opened his car door.

But at that moment, the woman, holding the baby, stood atop the guardrail.

"Don’t panic!"

Lin Fan called out to stop her, but it was already too late.

The woman in despair clutched the baby tightly in her arms.

Leaning forward, she jumped off the bridge into the river below.

On the roadway, many drivers had already gotten out of their cars and run over.

But by the time they reached the other side, there was no sign of anyone in the dark river.

The turbulent currents, the result of the river and sea waters mixing, were clearly visible.

Only a bright red martyr’s certificate lay fallen on the ground.

It was so glaring.

"Stop gawking, anyone who can swim, hurry and save them!"

A female driver leaned over the railing, shouting anxiously.

"Are you crazy? The water’s surface is over ten meters down, jumping from this height, even someone who can swim would be killed,"

"I feel sorry for that kid, so young and not even a corpse can be found,"

The crowd around shook their heads.

In this kind of foul weather and at this location,

No one dared to try hastily.

But just as everyone lamented, a figure leaped high into the air.

Immediately, he rolled into a ball in the air and plunged straight toward the surface of the water.

"Plop!"

Splashes erupted, and Lin Fan disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.

As people stared at the still pitch-black water, they began to lament again.

"This kid is too reckless, trying to play the hero at a time like this is simply suicidal."

"Will you shut up? What he’s doing is called acting bravely for a just cause."

"This is the entrance to the sea. It’s all fishing boats down there. With such poor visibility, you’d either be smashed to death or minced by the propellers!"

"With all these undercurrents, even the best swimmer would be doomed."

"Such a shame to be driving such a nice luxury car and not knowing how to enjoy your blessings!"

The discussions above were heated.

But Lin Fan wasn’t idle underwater either.

Opening his eyes, he relied on his exceptional swimming skills.

Finally, in the murky water, he felt a woman’s body.

She had passed out upon hitting the water from such a high fall.

Yet in her arms, she still clung tightly to the infant.

"Damn it, this is getting serious!"

Trying to get back to the surface with the mother and child in tow, Lin Fan soon realized that the current was surging.

It would have been no issue if it were only him.

But to pull both mother and child out, he had to struggle against the undercurrent.

And he needed to be quick, or even if he managed to get them to the surface,

they would likely drown.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Just when everybody thought Lin Fan must be dead,

someone suddenly spotted a figure moving on the riverbank some dozens of meters away.

Lin Fan, with the baby in one arm and the woman’s collar in his hand,

staggered back to shore.

By this time, the crowd that had been watching from the levee had already rushed over.

Two men had also jumped into the water to help him drag the woman completely ashore.

"She’s not dead yet... who knows CPR?"

Exhausted to the extreme, Lin Fan had no energy left.

Only he knew just how much effort it had actually taken.

Even as a Martial Cultivator, it was incredibly difficult to battle against the forces of nature.

If it had been anyone else, it would have been a tragedy today.

"I’m a doctor, I know CPR!"

"I’ve learned it, I can help!"

Fortuitously, there were people in the crowd who knew emergency procedures.

Some performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while others hurried to wrap the baby boy with their clothing.

After a flurry of activity, when the woman spat out a mouthful of water,

and the infant in the swaddling began to cry loudly,

everyone cheered.

At least, those two lives had been saved.

"Hey, where’s the hero who just saved them?"

"That’s a great deed... Let’s find the hero!"

"I think I saw him heading up the stairs to the bridge just now."

"Hurry, call the reporters, we have an unsung hero!"

"I remember his license plate number!"

In the noisy crowd, naturally, some enthusiastic onlookers began to spread the word.

But at that moment, Lin Fan had already returned to his car.

"Damn, clothes worth tens of thousands, shrunk this badly. Good thing I didn’t bring my phone, or the loss would have been huge."

Lin Fan, back in his car,

looked at his suit which had shrunk up to his wrists.

He couldn’t understand why such expensive things were so delicate.

With the state of his clothes, becoming the center of attention tonight was now inevitable.
