Chapter 203: Chapter 203
Lin Fan had announced yesterday that he would be hosting a charity donation event today. This is the first public event since the establishment of the Mortal Charity Association, so it is very high-profile.
On the surface, Lin Fan seems to be trying to make the name of Mortal Charity Association known through this event.
But in reality, Lin Fan is clearly provoking the killer.
The background of this event is that the heads of three charity organizations have been killed, all charitable organizations have come to a halt, and are trying to lay low. The heads have either fled or are hiding.
Lin Fan, however, is openly active, high-profile announcing the establishment of the charity and, when asked by reporters, stated that he’s not afraid of the killer, not even considering the killer in his mind.
People had various reactions to this.
Some thought Lin Fan was too confident, even arrogant, and this could be somewhat dangerous.
Others admired Lin Fan’s courage and cheered for him.
This matter quickly became a hot topic, with television media even broadcasting it live, and the number of live viewers was quite large.
At nine-thirty in the morning, the event began, and Lin Fan took the stage to give a speech.
The site erupted into thunderous applause.
Comments in the live broadcast room also started flying.
"Wow, he’s so handsome!"
"Tall, rich, and handsome little brother, I love him!"
Lin Fan then announced that he would invest 1 billion to establish the Mortal Charity Fund to help those in need.
"Such a big spender!"
"Give me some, I really need money!"
The comments in the live broadcast room went wild.
Lin Fan subsequently said, "Our event today will accept on-site applications. Citizens in need at the venue can go to our staff to get an application form, register, and afterward, we will send someone to follow up. As long as approval is granted, we’ll directly transfer the money to you on the spot!"
"So straightforward!"
"This charity is interesting!"
"Some charities collect money under the guise of charity, but this one directly gives money, a tycoon is indeed a tycoon!"
"So amazing, I hereby declare Lin Fan as my male idol!"
After Lin Fan finished his speech.
Immediately there was a crowd of people rushing to the staff to get the application form.
This is the first segment of today’s event.
Lin Fan designed this segment precisely to deal with the killer, and Lin Fan’s gaze fell on the crowd of people getting application forms.
A masked man caught Lin Fan’s attention...
In less than half an hour, Lin Fan had collected quite a few application forms.
Lin Fan randomly picked up an application form, "Which one of you is Ms. Li Xiaojia, please come to the stage."
A girl came up on stage.
Lin Fan warmly shook hands with the girl and asked, "Li Xiaojia, I see on your application form that you’re an orphan, unable to go to university because you lack funds, is that correct?"
Li Xiaojia nodded, "Yes, my parents died in a car accident last month, and all savings were spent on the funeral. There is no source of income in the family, and I can’t even afford tuition fees. I initially wanted to borrow money, but relatives and friends avoided me like the plague. I saw yesterday that donations were available here, so I came to try."
Lin Fan said, "If your situation is true and you are indeed in financial difficulty, our Mortal Fund can help pay for your four years of university tuition, how do you feel about that?"
Li Xiaojia replied joyfully, "Really?"
Lin Fan smiled, "Certainly, as long as your situation is genuine."
Li Xiaojia said, "What I said is all true, no lies."’
Lin Fan said, "I understand, but we need to follow procedure, which means verification is required, this is a step all charities require. Once we verify your situation, we’ll transfer the money to you. Now, please follow our verifier over there for verification."
Li Xiaojia said worriedly, "Will the verification fail?"
Lin Fan smiled, "Don’t worry, as long as you’re truthful, you’ll definitely pass. But if you’re lying, then it’s a shame."
Watching their dialogue, among the crowd, the masked man seemed to be triggered by some memory, showing anger in his eyes.
"Verify, verify my ass, scammers, you’re all just showy con artists!" The masked man said venomously in a voice only he could hear.
He seemed to not believe Lin Fan was genuinely doing charity, only thinking Lin Fan was putting on a show.
Indeed, for businessmen, doing charity is a quick way to earn a good reputation.
Many wealthy people a little to be called philanthropists, but they do not genuinely care about charity, it’s as if they are buying a reputation with money.
After seeing off Li Xiaojia, Lin Fan then called up two more applicants successively, and without exception, he directed them to cooperate with the verifiers.
Only upon passing the verification can the charity money be claimed.
Lin Fan said, "Alright, I will no longer call names. If anyone wishes to come up, please raise your hand voluntarily. Those who come on stage will be the first group to be verified and you will have a chance to receive our charity money first."
Once he said this, people eagerly raised their hands.
The crowd became noisy.
The masked man silently raised his hand, although he remained silent, he rushed to the front.
Lin Fan’s gaze swept over and fell on the masked man, seemingly casually saying, "It’s you then."
The masked man nodded and walked up to the stage.
Lin Fan smiled, "Brother, are you sick? Why are you wearing a mask? If possible, could you take off the mask?"
The masked man responded with an "oh", and quietly removed the mask.
Lin Fan had long recognized from his physique that he was Wu Guicai, the murderer of the three serial cases.
Lin Fan was waiting for this moment.
Meanwhile, the police had long been stationed at the event site; once Wu Guicai removed the mask, his face was immediately noticed by them.
"It’s him!" Loli exclaimed excitedly, immediately picking up the walkie-talkie, "All units pay attention, the suspect has appeared, take positions, prepare for capture!"
Her partner, Little Wang, asked, "Captain Luo, should we move in now to detain him?"
Loli kept her eyes on the monitor, "Wait a moment."
On stage, Lin Fan asked, "May I know your name, brother?"
Wu Guicai said, "Wu Guicai."
Lin Fan said, "Brother Wu, could you tell me what’s troubling you?"
Wu Guicai said coldly, "My daughter is ill with leukemia, no money to treat her."
Lin Fan said reassuringly, "No worries, our Mortal Charity Association can assist you, if the situation is genuine, we will immediately transfer money to you."
Wu Guicai sneered, "Really, immediately transfer money to me?"
Lin Fan said, "Absolutely, once verification is passed, we’ll immediately transfer the money to you. Considering your daughter’s condition, we’ll prioritize your verification and make sure her treatment is not delayed."
Wu Guicai let out a bitter laugh, "Good, sounds nice."
Lin Fan asked with a frown, "What does Mr. Wu mean by this?"
Wu Guicai’s emotions suddenly burst forth as he shouted, "Screw you, all you do is say nice things, all lies! Promised verification that gets delayed day by day, eventually telling me I failed, killing my daughter, isn’t this fooling someone?"
Wu Guicai suddenly snapped, scaring the people on site.
Even the live broadcast room was at a loss.
"What’s wrong with him?"
The comments were all questions.
Lin Fan pretended to be confused, "Brother Wu, do you mean you applied to another charity fund before? How’s your daughter now?"
This remark, although a bit cruel, hit the key point, causing Wu Guicai to lose control, his eyes shone fiercely, and he shouted, "She’s already dead, all because of you scam artists, I’m going to kill you all!"
Saying this, Wu Guicai suddenly pulled out a glittering knife from his waist!
Lin Fan chuckled, "So you are the serial killer, the heads of those three charity organizations were killed by you, right!"
Wu Guicai sneered coldly, "I killed them, and today I’m going to take you out too!"
Wu Guicai is the serial killer?
Everyone was shocked.
The live broadcast room exploded.
