Chapter 553: You Little Comrade, So Naive!

Inside the restaurant.

The head waitress was scolding our Warrior of Light.

This head waitress was a middle-aged woman, divorced, no children, accustomed to being single, and thus hadn't bothered finding a partner to build a family. On a scale of one to ten, her looks were a four, maybe a 3.5 with heavy makeup.

At this moment, Head Waitress Chen looked down at Lin Fan. "Explain yourself. You were delivering food to a customer, and you vanished, leaving the food shattered at the customer's feet. This kind of behavior has a terrible impact. The customer was furious. If I hadn't smoothed things over, and the manager had found out, you'd be fired."

"I had something urgent to do," Lin Fan said.

"That's no excuse. Everyone in this restaurant has urgent matters. Even if you had an emergency, you could have at least put the dishes on the table. You were only a step away from the customer!" Head Waitress Chen's tone was severe. She observed Lin Fan's expression, careful not to push him too hard. After all, a cornered dog will leap over a wall. What if he decided to quit?

"Hmm, you're right. I didn't think of that at the time." Lin Fan pondered. Head Waitress Chen had a point. He really was just a step away. Putting the dishes on the table would have solved everything.

Seeing Lin Fan's expressionless face, Head Waitress Chen assumed he was still anxious. So, to soothe his agitated heart, she continued, "Look, don't worry. Come to my dorm tonight, and we'll have a few drinks and a good chat."

Lin Fan asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Just because!" Head Waitress Chen smiled, a suggestive smile. Those plain-looking waitresses couldn't compete with her.

Before Lin Fan could say anything more, Head Waitress Chen left.

The next day!

At the restaurant.

"Lin Fan, the head waitress wants to see you," a waitress ran over. "I noticed she didn't look happy. You might be in trouble. Be careful."

"Thanks," Lin Fan nodded.

Inside the simple office.

Head Waitress Chen pushed an envelope towards Lin Fan. "The company has decided to terminate your employment. That customer from yesterday complained again. You've seriously damaged the restaurant's image. We can't keep you. Here's a hundred yuan, what's left of your salary after compensating the customer. Pack your things and go."

She was quite annoyed with Lin Fan. She had been so direct last night. Yet, he made her wait all night in her sexy nightgown. He had guts, real guts. Did he really think she wouldn't dare do anything to him? Now, she had fired him.

He hadn't even worked for many days and was already so inconsiderate. No future.

"Is it that serious? Well, I'm sorry for the trouble." Lin Fan took the envelope, nodded to Head Waitress Chen, and left the office.

His decisiveness stunned Head Waitress Chen.

He was that stubborn?

If he had begged her, she could have reversed the decision. Who would have thought he wouldn't care at all?

She miscalculated.

The waitresses in the restaurant watched Lin Fan leave.

Their hearts were filled with sadness.

The handsome guy was finally gone. The only consolation was that he hadn't fallen prey to the old woman's clutches. This was their greatest comfort.

On the street.

"Sigh, finding a job is really hard these days." Lin Fan scratched his head, suitcase in hand, not knowing where to go. He needed to find a job, though. Only hard-working people were worthy.

His phone rang.

A message arrived.

He opened it.

Tang Nayi: Uncle, where are you?

I'm on the street.

Losing a job and wandering the streets wasn't something to be ashamed of.

Tang Nayi: Uncle, aren't you working? Students are in class now. It should be your shift. Don't tell me you skipped work.

No, I just got fired.

Tang Nayi: Aww, poor uncle, now unemployed.

It's alright. I'm looking for a job.

Far away in Tongyang City, Tang Nayi stared at the message, lost in thought.

She suspected her uncle was the Warrior of Light.

She had no proof, just a suspicion.

But... the messages from her uncle made her confused. If he were the Warrior of Light, why would he have a job? And why would he need to look for another one? This was something to ponder.

Xia Qingmiao patted the dazed Tang Nayi.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, just some things." Tang Nayi shook her head. She didn't mention her suspicions. She felt that even if she did, no one would believe her. But some things, buried in her heart, she really wanted to share.

"Qingmiao, I want to tell you something. I suspect my uncle is the Warrior of Light. Do you think it's possible?"

Xia Qingmiao laughed. "How is that possible?"

"That's what I thought too, but look at this..." Tang Nayi showed Xia Qingmiao the messages her uncle had sent her earlier, the ones from when she thought she was going to die.

Originally, Xia Qingmiao didn't share Nayi's fanciful ideas.

But after seeing the messages...

She gradually became lost in thought.

The content of the messages was a bit strange.

One message said...

Send me the address.

These four words were problematic.

But Tang Nayi hadn't sent the address. Also, the timing seemed off. So, Xia Qingmiao's thoughts aligned with Nayi's. They both harbored deep suspicions.

"It shouldn't... be him, right?"

"But, why not just ask him directly? What if he admits it?"

Tang Nayi's eyes lit up. "Right..."

She immediately messaged Lin Fan.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan, walking down the street with his suitcase, noticed the people around him acting strangely. They hadn't been acting strange before, but just now, they all started looking at their phones.

At the same time, he heard voices.

"Holy crap, look at the news on your phones! The Warrior of Light really exists!"

"No way."

"What do you mean 'no way'? The officials have already confirmed it, and Chen Jianjian even gave an interview."

Everyone looked down at the news on their phones.

Several headlines were very eye-catching.

Famous Comic Artist Chen Jianjian Personally Tells the Untold Secret of Him and the Warrior of Light!!!!

The Story of Teacher Chen Jianjian and the Warrior of Light Began That Night!!!

Witnesses from Jinzhou City, Tongyang City, and Huicheng City's Extermination Squad Saw It with Their Own Eyes

Light Truly Exists!!!

There were many similar news articles.

For ordinary people, their lives were simple and ordinary. But at this moment, after seeing this news, they were completely blown away.

They were saying the Warrior of Light actually existed...

This was too dramatic!

Was it a large-scale joke specifically designed to give them hope?

But the news was already out.

How could it be fake?

Perhaps it was real.
