The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

No one can know just how strong a child's anticipation for those curious things is. If Fang Yun were a child, this feeling would only be stronger and would not be diminished in the slightest.

"Boss, give me the biggest one, with extra sugar inside."

Fang Yun handed over double the price to the man, who happily accepted it and prepared to get started.

Fang Yun knew that this little girl might not get another chance to eat like this, so he decided to let her have her fill this time.

The boss was also a quick and efficient person, and finished the job in no time.

Chapter 551 Cotton Candy

"Here you are, sir, your cotton candy is ready."

The shopkeeper handed Fang Yun a cotton candy that was noticeably larger than the others, which quickly drew gasps from the surrounding children. Fang Yun could only chuckle awkwardly and walk towards the little girl.

"Here, this is for you."

When Fang Yun held out the cotton candy to the little girl, she was clearly still a little incredulous and cautiously reached out to take it.

"Thank you."

Despite the temptation, and with the little girl practically drooling, she still insisted on bowing to Fang Yun first.

"Yes, don't be shy, eat up."

Fang Yun thought of his childhood, when it was only because some kind-hearted people were willing to help him that he was able to get through that period of time.

At this moment, the little girl's expression and demeanor were just like Fang Yun's back then. When the little girl took a bite, she suddenly blossomed like a flower, with a sweet smile on her face.

Just as she was eagerly anticipating her second bite, she suddenly noticed that Fang Yun was still standing to the side. Feeling a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and then tore off a large piece of the cotton candy and handed it to Fang Yun.

"Big brother, you should eat too."

Fang Yun smiled and accepted it, then took a bite and smiled sweetly as well.

Just then, a chubby little boy with two other boys walked by. Upon seeing the cotton candy, they couldn't help but exclaim, "What a huge cotton candy! I want my dad to buy me one too!"

The chubby boy was about to call for his father, who was parking the car, when suddenly someone shouted, "Isn't that Zhou Min?"

"What Zhou Min?" The chubby boy thought for a moment and then suddenly remembered, "(bjbd) is that poor girl in our class. I didn't recognize her at first because she was wearing tattered clothes and not in her school uniform."

Fang Yun frowned upon hearing the children's words. If they weren't so young, he would have wanted to teach them a lesson based on those few words alone.

"Your name is Zhou Min, right? Don't pay attention to them." Fang Yun squatted down and patted Zhou Min's shoulder, intending to take her to another place to eat.

Unexpectedly, the chubby boy suddenly ran over and snatched the cotton candy from Zhou Min's hand.

"You're from a poor family, yet you're eating such a big cotton candy? Aren't you afraid I'll tell the teacher?" The chubby boy's face was full of mockery, and Zhou Min was speechless after hearing what he said.

"No... I didn't. I traded something for it," Zhou Min whispered.

"Hmph, I don't care what you got it from, as long as you don't want me to tell the teacher, this cotton candy is mine, hehe."

Without waiting for Zhou Min's reaction, the chubby boy took a bite of the cotton candy. The two boys who arrived later each grabbed a handful, and the cotton candy was quickly devoured.

When Zhou Min saw that the cotton candy she had been longing for for so long was suddenly gone, tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yun said, "Just give them that to them. I'll take you to buy another one."

"No need, we said we'd exchange one bowl of juice for one stick, I can't let you spend that much money."

Although Zhou Min tried to calm down, she was still just a young girl, and she couldn't hold back her tears. She started sobbing as she spoke.

When the boys standing opposite her saw this, instead of apologizing, they laughed loudly, "Look, Zhou Min is crying again. We'll go tell the other classmates when we get back."

"By the way, did you guys bring your phones? Take a few pictures of her and bring them back to class to show everyone."

One of the boys heard this and pulled out a cell phone. Fang Yun glanced at it and realized the phone was probably quite expensive. These people clearly came from well-off families.

After taking out their phones, the boys couldn't wait to press the shutter button and take several pictures of Zhou Min. Seeing this, Zhou Min became even more upset and said, "You guys... can you please stop taking pictures? I know I was wrong."

The boys laughed and said, "Hehe, we just want everyone to see what you look like, how can we not take pictures?"

Zhou Min tried to ask them to take back their phones, but the boys wouldn't let it go. At that moment, Fang Yun walked over and snatched the phone from one of the boys' hands.

As the boys stared in astonishment at the phone, Fang Yun unceremoniously threw it on the ground, then stomped on it. With a "crunch," the phone instantly turned into a pile of dust.

At this moment, even Zhou Min stopped crying and stared blankly at Fang Yun.

The boys, realizing what had happened, stared at Fang Yun in astonishment and shouted, "So, you're in cahoots with Zhou Min, aren't you? How dare you step on Chen Fan's phone! Do you even know who Chen Fan's father is? I'm telling you, you're finished!"

The chubby boy yelled the loudest and even made a direct threat.

Chapter 552 Rising Star

"Oh, who is it?" Fang Yun glanced over and said, "Why don't you call him over here? I want to see how capable he really is."

"Then if you're so capable, don't leave and wait for us to come back!"

"Of course I'm not leaving. I'll wait for you whenever you come," Fang Yun said coldly.

Fang Yun had no intention of showing any leniency to children who had no respect for others and thought they could do whatever they wanted just because they had their parents' power.

Seeing the three people run away, the little girl named Zhou Min tugged at Fang Yun's sleeve: "Big brother, you'd better run away quickly after they leave, otherwise it will be difficult when Chen Fan's father comes."

Fang Yun said "Oh," and asked, "What, you know that boy's father too?"

“Our family all know that he is a leader of a certain bank. I heard that he is very famous in the banking industry in the whole city. If you offend him, he will make it impossible for your family to deposit any more money, and he will also confiscate your previous money.”

"Confiscate it?" Fang Yun was taken aback. "Does he have that much power?"

“I don’t know either, but we all know that Chen Fan’s father knows a lot of people, including some well-known local figures. It’s best not to offend him. Big brother, you should run away quickly.”

Fang Yun asked with amusement, "What will you do if I leave? Your home is right here, they'll find you no matter what."

"Well... I haven't thought about it yet, but at worst I'll just give them a new phone. I'm just a kid, they probably won't do anything to me."

If any other child had said these words, Fang Yun would have been disdainful, even disgusted. But hearing them from Zhou Min's mouth, Fang Yun felt a deep sense of desolation.

He understood perfectly well that if he left, those boys wouldn't let her off easily, given their character. Besides, Fang Yun could tell at a glance that the phone wasn't cheap.

If the little girl's family were to pay compensation, it would probably be equivalent to several months' wages for them. Without wages, they probably wouldn't even be able to afford food.

Therefore, no matter what, Fang Yun could not simply leave, especially since he had already vented his anger.

Those kids were already annoyed by what they were doing, so how could we let them continue to be so arrogant?

Not long after, the three children were seen pulling at a middle-aged man in a sharp suit and gold-rimmed glasses. Although it was a holiday, the man was still dressed impeccably, looking every bit the professional elite.

Compared to him, Fang Yun seemed like an ordinary young man from a back alley; if you looked at him casually, you'd probably just ignore him.

Did you step on the phone?

Soon, the man saw the pile of broken parts on the ground, rubbed his eyes, and said indifferently.

"Since you stepped on it, you have to compensate me. I won't ask for much; just pay the market price."

Fang Yun said "Oh", and said, "I can replace the phone for you, no problem, but you also need to make your son apologize to her. If your son hadn't insisted on taking pictures of her, I wouldn't have smashed his phone."

Fang Yun wasn't an unreasonable person; since he smashed the phone himself, he should compensate him. However, it was crucial to clarify who was right and who was wrong.

It wasn't just for Zhou Min, but also to teach this child a lesson, so that these people wouldn't come back and bully her again after a while.

"It's just a few kids playing, do you really need to meddle so much?" the man said, his face showing displeasure.

"What do you mean I'm interfering so much? It's because parents like you who don't care at all that your child has such a bad upbringing and no manners."

"How dare you! It's none of your business to lecture my son, Chen Lin!" the man roared in anger.

"Why are you angry? What, you won't listen when I try to reason with you? You don't seem like the kind of person who's going to do something worthwhile," Fang Yun said sarcastically.

........ ......

At this point, the man's emotions were completely ignited, and he said, "I didn't want to argue with you just now. After all, dealing with someone like you for even a minute longer is an insult to me."

"Now that you're being so shameless, I won't hold back anymore. Do you believe I'll freeze all your bank cards right now?"

"Oh, this trick again. But sorry, I only accept cash, not bank cards," Fang Yun said with a forced smile.

Chen Lin was so angry with Fang Yun that he didn't know what to say. He just pointed at Fang Yun and said with a trembling hand, "Fine, let you be so smug. I'll have someone check your identity information right now. Let's see if you can still laugh when the facts are clear."

Fang Yun asked curiously, "You don't even know my name. I'm curious how you're going to freeze me?"

At that moment, the man suddenly took out his phone and took a picture of Fang Yun's face.

"A photo is enough; facial recognition will identify you in a moment." A smug smile appeared on Chen Lin's face.

Chapter 553 Freeze

"Like father, like son. I was just wondering why this kid likes taking pictures without permission; turns out it was his dad who taught him that."

Fang Yun shook his head, as if he had discovered some major secret.

Although Chen Lin felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, he held back, waiting for the bank's sanctions order to arrive. Once that order arrived, this kid would have to obediently surrender to him.

But a few minutes later, a phone call instantly wiped the hope off Chen Lin's face. The system couldn't find any information about Fang Yun, meaning Fang Yun wasn't even in the bank's database.

If it were just "857" alone, it wouldn't be so bad. But Chen Lin just asked someone who wasn't an ordinary person, but someone from the Banking Association, who could directly access the ordinary customer information of all member units. If they couldn't find Fang Yun even with that, then it's very possible that, as Fang Yun said, he never deposited any money in the bank at all.

Faced with such a person, Chen Lin's previous sanctioning measures suddenly became effective, which put him in a difficult position.

When facing an opponent, you need to be able to grasp their weaknesses, but if the opponent is like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water, then it's not easy to make a move.

For example, if Chen Lin tells a beggar not to invest, it's no different from talking to thin air.

Therefore, Chen Lin rested his chin on his right hand, trying to quickly think of another solution.
