Everyone looked toward the intersection on Taihe Street. A red sedan sped past, hitting the little girl who had run into the road and sending her flying.
The next moment.
Like a wild horse out of control, the red sedan barreled onward and slammed into an oncoming bus, overturning it.
Everyone on Taihe Street froze.
It had happened exactly as Lin Fan had predicted: the little girl had been hit by a car, and the red sedan had crashed into a bus.
One gaze after another fell on Lin Fan. They wondered why they had refused to believe Master Lin.
"Hurry, save them!"
Just then, the Uncle Cops who had been maintaining order shouted. Several good Samaritans rushed forward and helped the passengers out of the bus.
Lin Fan followed the crowd to the intersection.
"The little girl is fine!"
"There were exactly twenty-four people on the bus, and the ratio of men to women was just what Master Lin said!"
"No one is hurt. Even the little girl who was thrown over ten meters doesn't have a scratch!"
Everyone was stunned. They had seen the speeding sedan send the little girl flying with their own eyes.
And she had flown over ten meters.
How could she be unharmed?
"The talisman! Do you remember? Master Lin gave the little girl a talisman just now!"
"I remember! Last time, a high school student jumped from the sixth floor and was completely unharmed too. I heard they were carrying a talisman Master Lin had given them!"
Everyone present felt their entire worldview being shaken.
Meanwhile, countless viewers in Xiao Tuantuan's livestream went wild.
[Boss Xiu: Who could still doubt Master Lin?!]
[Ragdoll Cat: Master Lin is awesome! Hurry and get someone to notify the people in Tubaocun Village!]
Chapter 49: Begin the Evacuation-Free Peace Talismans!
[Ninety Below Zero: This is what Master Lin is capable of. He saved a little girl with hardly any effort!]
[Ultimate Contrarian: So he saved a little girl. There must be people in the world who are better than him!]
[Chibi Maruko-chan: Well, well. The person above really lives up to the name Ultimate Contrarian, actually typing something like that.]
"Xiao Ru, are you all right?!"
A middle-aged woman suddenly ran over from across the street. She hugged the little girl, her face full of anxiety.
"Mommy, I'm fine. With the talisman that big brother gave me, I didn't get hurt."
The little girl opened her small hand, about to show her mother the Peace Talisman.
But she discovered that all that remained in her palm was a pile of ashes.
"Where did the talisman go?!"
The little girl looked crestfallen, on the verge of tears. "Big brother gave me that talisman. Why did it disappear?"
Seeing how upset she was, Lin Fan couldn't help softening. He took out another Peace Talisman and crouched in front of her.
"Here's another Peace Talisman from big brother. Remember, a Peace Talisman works if your heart is sincere. As long as you don't do bad things, it can protect you as you grow up."
He placed the Peace Talisman in the little girl's palm.
Then he checked the time. It was 7:20, with a little over half an hour until eight.
Lin Fan grew anxious. Once the torrential rain arrived, it would be too late for anything.
He wanted to find the three Uncle Cops who had been maintaining order.
But he discovered that all three had taken the injured bus passengers to the hospital.
"This isn't good."
Lin Fan frowned and looked around. Suddenly, he spotted Xiao Tuantuan, who was still livestreaming.
An idea flashed through his mind. He immediately approached Xiao Tuantuan and took her phone.
"Is Jiangzhou Uncle Cop in the livestream? Arrange for the people of Tubaocun Village to evacuate immediately! Right now!"
"Any later and it'll be too late!"
"The torrential rain will definitely come! Don't you know weather forecasts are often wrong?!"
Lin Fan was practically roaring at the people in the livestream.
Tubaocun Village was home to many ordinary people. Whether for the mission or his own conscience, he couldn't stand by and watch an entire village die when disaster struck.
[Boss Xiu: I've never seen Master Lin lose control like this. I choose to believe him!]
[Ragdoll Cat: I support Master Lin unconditionally. Jiangzhou Uncle Cop, hurry and do something!]
[Ninety Below Zero: Jiangzhou Uncle Cop, you've been a longtime fan from the beginning. Don't you know what Master Lin can do?!]
[Jiangzhou Uncle Cop: I've already asked my superiors for instructions three times. Please wait a moment. They'll definitely handle it.]
In a conference room at Jiangzhou police headquarters.
"You should all know about Master Lin's warning by now. How should we handle this?"
"Sir, evacuating an entire village is no small matter. If nothing happens, I'm afraid we'll all be held responsible."
"You've all seen what Master Lin can do. Better to err on the side of caution. I think we should evacuate them."
"Master Lin mentioned torrential rain, so he probably means a flash flood. Tubaocun Village is prone to flash floods, after all. One struck ten years ago."
The Uncle Cops each offered different opinions.
Evacuating an entire village was a major undertaking.
If they made a mistake, every Uncle Cop present would be held accountable.
Just then, an Uncle Cop pushed open the conference room door and said breathlessly, "Another update from the Meteorological Bureau. They say there might be light rain."
Half an hour ago, they had said there would be no rain.
Now it was light rain.
The chief seated at the head of the table looked resolute. He issued a firm order. "Deploy personnel immediately and organize the evacuation of Tubaocun Village!"
"Lin Fan said nine o'clock. I want every villager evacuated to safety before eight thirty!"
Soon afterward.
In Xiao Tuantuan's livestream.
[Jiangzhou Uncle Cop: The chief has given the order. Additional personnel are being sent to Tubaocun Village to organize the villagers' evacuation.]
[Boss Xiu: Nice! The Uncle Cops in Jiangzhou really have guts!]
[Ragdoll Cat: Actually, I still don't know what's going to happen in Tubaocun Village. Could Master Lin explain?]
[Ninety Below Zero: +1. I'd like to know too.]
The viewers chimed in one after another, eager to know what kind of disaster Tubaocun Village was about to face.
"I'd like to tell you too."
Lin Fan felt helpless. The first time, he had coughed up blood halfway through explaining. If he tried again now, he feared he would pass out on the spot.
"You'll find out soon. Let me read the fortunes of those three Uncle Cops from earlier again."
He still felt uneasy. Although it now seemed he could complete the mission, he worried that something might happen to the three Uncle Cops.
He calculated on his fingers.
Lin Fan's expression grew grave. Sure enough, his intuition had been right. The three Uncle Cops still couldn't escape their fate of death.
"Although the villagers of Tubaocun Village have all evacuated, the three Uncle Cops go there to help clear the roads. The outcome hasn't changed."
Defying fate to save the three Uncle Cops was his first mission.
Lin Fan picked up the phone, about to ask Jiangzhou Uncle Cop in the livestream to tell the three not to go.
But then he reconsidered. Saving those three might lead to other Uncle Cops getting hurt.
"I can't trade one life for another."
Lin Fan turned to Xiao Tuantuan. "Get a car. We're going to the hospital."
Xiao Tuantuan froze for a moment, then caught on. She immediately ran to the parking lot and brought her sports car over.
Lin Fan returned to his shop to fetch twenty Peace Talismans. After getting into the car, he headed straight for the nearest hospital.
They arrived at the hospital.
Lin Fan happened to see the three Uncle Cops walking out together.
"Uncle Cops!"
He hurried over and took out the Peace Talismans. "These talismans will keep you safe. Take one each."
"When you receive orders to head to Tubaocun Village later, give the remaining seventeen Peace Talismans to the others to wear."
He had already calculated that exactly twenty Uncle Cops would be heading to Tubaocun Village.
The other Uncle Cops might not encounter any danger.
But Lin Fan felt it would be better for each of them to have a Peace Talisman.
[Chu Conqueror: My god, Master Lin is way too kind! I bought a Peace Talisman from him last time, and it cost a full hundred thousand. Twenty talismans-that's two million!]
[Jiangzhou Uncle Cop: ???]
[Boss Xiu: I remember Master Lin's talismans really are pretty expensive.]
[Top Diehard Fan: Ahem, I still owe Master Lin five hundred thousand for talismans.]
To anyone else, twenty Peace Talismans were practically priceless.
