Chapter 287

Who can persist until the end? 》

But even if one out of ten thousand people truly heard it, wouldn't that child be so much happier? 》

For many people, childhood exists to heal the hardships of their future life.

That is the most blissful thing in life.

But for many people, the hardships of the future exist to heal their childhood.

That is the most sorrowful thing in life.

Qin Ming said, "The one under the most pressure is actually Chen Fan. No one ever asked, and no one ever cared. Everyone habitually turns to Chen Fan, relies on Chen Fan — what's the difference between them and those parents? They pin all their hopes on their own child, but who can Chen Fan rely on?"

Qin Ming said it outright, but how many people couldn't see it?

They could see it.

Qin Ming continued, "Our show is about the workplace. I remember when I first entered the workplace, my teacher told me something — if in the future I can't look after you, and you go somewhere else, never show any extra talent. A boss won't think you're outstanding because of your talent; he'll only think you're even more useful."

Everyone was suddenly awakened — it really did seem to be exactly like that.

And at this moment, what exactly was Chen Fan doing?

The cameraman followed Chen Fan, said nothing, and just stood to one side.

Chen Fan didn't go anywhere — he just stared at the sky.

At that moment, Sister Yuanyuan appeared beside Chen Fan, handed him an apple, and said, "Have a bite."

"I'm not hungry, and I'm not a kid — why would I eat something?"

"Is the pressure really that heavy?"

Chen Fan said, "I don't have any pressure at all. Actually, you all misread me. I was only saying out loud what those people were thinking. Just now, the one speaking wasn't really me — it was this Miss."

"Channeling the spirits?"

"Something like that. I tried putting myself in their shoes and heard some voices. The child told me to speak it out, and there's one more thing the child didn't say."

"What is it?"

"Mom, Dad — I hope that in the next life, I can still be your child."

After those words were spoken, the man who was at that very moment collecting his daughter's body could no longer hold back his tears, and they streamed down.

Sister Yuanyuan was speechless and said, "I was still thinking you were under so much pressure and needed to vent. Over there, Qin Ming was helping you speak up the whole time."

"I'm very lucky, because everyone around me looks after me — it's not like I can't see that."

In the observation room, Qin Ming was speechless and said, "I take back what I said earlier. Damn it — this guy just wrung my tears for nothing. Damn, but it's true — how could a cold guy like him possibly have any pressure?"

"I forgot one thing — dissection and crime are Chen Fan's hobby, not his job at all. This guy treats crime and dissection as the joy of life."

At that moment, Li Tian was in the distance waving at Chen Fan. Chen Fan said, "I suddenly feel like I'm under so much pressure. I need comfort, sis — let me have a hug."

Sister Yuanyuan dodged right away and said, "Cut it out. Before I came, someone warned me about you — said you, kid, are the type to play the rogue and make women fall for you. I can't fall for that; I promised Song Zuer."

"That damned Old Song, always filling his daughter's head with Strange thoughts."

The people in the livestream had laughed themselves numb.

"I'm completely done. Even if Chen Fan tripped while walking — damn that Old Song."

"I think so too. Chen Fan and Old Song are like sworn enemies."

"But this time, when Li Tian came, it doesn't look like he brought any new case. It's probably some old case."

"Yeah, it does look strange."

Li Tian took out some tea leaves, placed them in front of Chen Fan, then took out his own notebook and said, "Goddess Yuanyuan, could I have your autograph?"

Sister Yuanyuan couldn't hold back and said, "Ah — me?"

"Yes. These tea leaves are a gift from me to you. I want your autograph — I'm your fan."

Sister Yuanyuan was speechless. Just as she was about to sign, Chen Fan said, "Write it on his bald head — no wait, just write it in the notebook. Writing it on his head would be rewarding this guy."

Li Tian chuckled, took the autograph and said, "Jealous, aren't you? Sorry — Yuanyuan really is my goddess."

Chen Fan chuckled and said, "Then I'm truly sorry — I'm also a fan. And besides, I might even collaborate with Yuanyuan in the future, and might even win Yuanyuan over."

Li Tian's fists clenched, and his bald head began to glint — he was about to blow up. I'm gonna lose it..

Chen Fan took the tea leaves, opened them, and sniffed carefully.

"Something's off about these tea leaves."

"Someone gave them to me, saying thanks for cracking the case. What's wrong? Damn it, I didn't take any bribe."

Chen Fan sniffed carefully and said, "Mm, I can still smell a girl's scent. The cost of these tea leaves isn't low — they had a Miss roast them. Mm, premium Longjing. Mm, the actual cost is only about a dozen yuan or so, but a box like this would sell for at least a hundred thousand or so."

Holy shit.

Li Tian immediately rewrapped the tea leaves and said, "Are you serious? You can smell all that out?"

"What do you think?"

Li Tian said, "How do you always know all these weird things? Wait — if the tea leaves are that expensive, it doesn't seem illegal."

"Obviously it's not illegal. If you really thought it was illegal, that would be the strange part — if it were illegal, every tea merchant would have to be arrested."

"So, Chen Fan, confess honestly — just how many people's money have you swindled?"

Chen Fan said, "I've never done anything like that. I don't take that kind of money. Please — am I that kind of person?"

Li Tian ignored him, took the tea leaves back, called the other party, questioned them carefully, and finally prepared to return the tea leaves — he couldn't accept them.

If he took them, it would be a serious disciplinary violation.

Li Tian said, "How exactly does this tea leaves scam work?"

"Flavoring essences, plus some other ingredients, all bought from the farmers' market. Wait here — I'll go to the kitchen and find some stuff, and I'll make you a batch."

Chen Fan got a pot ready, took Old Liu's leftover tea leaves, then added flavoring essences and the like, and began stir-frying them.

In a short while, the tea leaves were done. Chen Fan poured them straight into water and said, "Here — take a sip."

Li Tian took a sip and said, "Mm, the taste really is damn Longjing. How is that possible?"

"Real Longjing doesn't taste like this when brewed. Haven't you noticed the tea drinkers are all going bald? Guess why these people, the more they try to stay healthy, the faster they die?"

????

"Damn it," Li Tian said, completely speechless, "How much does this stuff cost?"

"The cost is probably a few yuan. But since it's my teacher's tea leaves, it's a bit more expensive. If it were other crushed bits and pieces, it would be even cheaper."

"By the way, I can even make this stuff for you using tree leaves. Tree leaves are cheap, so the cost is basically zero. Just hire a few sanitation workers to buy them, chop them up, stir-fry them, press them into tea cakes, and then sell them."

"How much?"

"It depends on my conscience. If I have a good conscience, I'll sell it for a few thousand yuan per jin. If my conscience isn't so good, I'll sell it for hundreds of thousands."

Li Tian was completely speechless.

"But if I were to sell it, I'd have Sister Yuanyuan here reach out, stir-fry it, film a video, and then sell it for seven hundred thousand or eight hundred thousand yuan per jin."

??????

Sister Yuanyuan paused for a moment and said, "Don't say these are real."

"They've always been real. Tea is naturally bitter. If you taste something very fragrant, something is wrong. But everyone knows it and keeps silent, doesn't that make sense? Is Li Tian breaking the law?"

Li Tian had nothing to say.

"Damn it, I've found this thing, and I really can't arrest you."

"Exactly. Don't people in business know this? Who actually understands tea? Aren't they all just going for the young ladies at the tea shops?"

Li Tian said, "What a coincidence. There really is a case here at the tea shop. I just happened to come looking for you."

I knew it, I knew it. Damn it.

Sister Yuanyuan said, "Can I go take a look? I want to see the scene with my own eyes."

Chen Fan, speechless, said, "Just ask Li Tian if the scene is still clean."

"Clean. It's just split in half, that's all."

Sister Yuanyuan calmly stated that she could accept it.

But after arriving, they found that the split wasn't horizontal; it was diagonal.

????

From the shoulder and arm, diagonally down to the waist.
