Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 60 - 00: Awakening You All

The morning’s street parade had completely spread throughout the city.

There wasn’t a single person in Jiangdu City who didn’t know about it.

The common folk were celebrating with great joy, nearly setting off firecrackers in celebration.

Initially, many citizens were still observing from the sidelines, uncertain whether the government was really taking action against the Serpent Gang. But looking at the situation now, how could there be any doubt? It was clear they had already acted.

Inside a barbershop in the city.

Yang Xiaozhen was the owner of this barbershop.

Currently, he was wearing a worried look on his face. His business was barely holding on; though he had customers every day, their numbers were pitifully few.

Just then.

A dark-skinned big man walked in. "Give me a haircut."

Yang Xiaozhen greeted the customer with delight, seating him properly. "What style would you like, sir? Just a simple trim or something shorter?"

"Shave it all off—make it a bald cut," the big man said.

Yang Xiaozhen froze for a moment. Bald?

Someone actually wanted a bald cut? Was this guy planning to become a monk? But the temples offer free tonsure; why pay good money for something unnecessary?

Anyway, only an idiot refuses to take money when offered. Afraid the man might change his mind, Yang quickly grabbed his clippers and got to work.

Bzzz bzzz bzzz...

Done and dusted.

"Take a look, sir. Is this satisfactory?" Yang Xiaozhen asked, smiling.

The big man nodded in approval. "Not bad. Your shop isn’t anything special, but it does have one unique point: Lord Lin and his men all got their bald cuts here."

Yang Xiaozhen looked completely confused. "What do you mean?"

The big man stared at Yang as though he were an idiot, astonished the barber wasn’t aware.

"You don’t know? Lord Lin and his men paraded the Third Master of the Serpent Gang through the streets today. Who wouldn’t know of Lord Lin’s fame now? You’re in luck—turns out you gave Lord Lin his haircut."

"Alright, enough talking. I’m off."

Yang Xiaozhen watched the big man leave, scratching his head in deep thought. Not long afterward, he ran outside to investigate and came back practically jumping with joy. He grabbed a white cloth, wrote on it, and hung it at the shop entrance.

’Barber Shop of Bald Constable Lord Lin’

Thinking the words weren’t striking enough, he decided to draw an illustration of a bald head.

Now that looked authoritative and bold—surely no one would miss the fact that Lord Lin’s dashing bald look was crafted here.

It wasn’t long before customers flooded into the shop. Most were children, though there were plenty of ordinary laborers as well.

Yang Xiaozhen got busy with a cheerful grin, earning money like never before.

The dungeon.

Lin Fan leisurely sipped his tea while looking at the members of the Serpent Gang. "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance—come clean about your crimes. Tell me everything honestly, and maybe I’ll show some leniency and offer you a chance to turn over a new leaf."

"And don’t bother trying to intimidate me with the Serpent Gang’s reputation. If you were so formidable, you wouldn’t have ended up paraded through the streets."

The Third Master continued to glare at Lin Fan furiously, the cloth gag still stuffed in his mouth. Once that gag was removed, his mouth would start spewing curses like a machine gun—nonstop, rapid fire.

Ji Zhen was equally enraged, but he didn’t know what to say for the moment.

Because Lin’s words left him speechless.

Indeed.

The street parade wasn’t exactly a secret.

How could the Boss not know about it? ƒreewebɳovel.com

Even after the parade ended, the Boss hadn’t sent anyone to rescue them. What else could this mean?

This was impossible.

The Boss would never abandon them.

There must be some reason behind it.

"Constable Lin." Zhao Desheng arrived from afar, casting a resigned glance at the Serpent Gang members bound to wooden racks. The situation had developed into a head-on clash between both sides.

Not easy to resolve at this point.

"Old Zhao, what’s the matter?" Lin Fan didn’t need to guess—it was surely related to the Serpent Gang.

Zhao Desheng leaned close to Lin Fan’s ear and whispered, "Tonight, the Serpent Gang is inviting you and Lord Wang to dinner. Lord Wang asked me to notify you to attend. He also said it’s time to stop while we’re ahead; we’ve achieved our desired effect, so let’s not push things to the point of no return. We don’t want to force the Serpent Gang into making irrational moves."

He then patted Lin Fan’s shoulder. "Personally, I think it’s about time we call it a day."

"Got it. I know what to do," Lin Fan nodded. He understood Wang Zhou and the government’s concerns. After thinking it through, he agreed—it was probably time to wrap things up. Now he’d just wait to see how the Serpent Gang played their hand tonight.

"Good to hear. See you tonight then." Zhao Desheng’s sole purpose was delivering the message.

He truly hadn’t expected the Serpent Gang to extend an invitation—and it wasn’t just any invitation; it was from the Boss himself.

Looks like the Serpent Gang wanted peace.

He would’ve never imagined them taking such steps before.

Thinking it over, it made sense.

After all, nothing like this had ever happened before.

After Zhao Desheng left, Lin Fan walked over to the Third Master and patted his face. "Just heard that your Serpent Gang plans to host a banquet for me tonight—they must be pleading your case."

"Who knows, maybe by tomorrow morning you’ll be free again. But let me remind you—there are some things you shouldn’t do. Then again, I get it... you lot are all illiterate fools; talking sense to you is like playing music for cattle."

The Third Master struggled furiously, his neck turning red as he made muffled noises.

Lin Fan smiled and removed the gag from his mouth.

"Impossible!" The moment the cloth was removed, the Third Master roared, "Who do you think you are to claim the Serpent Gang is inviting you? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see what kind of person you are?"

"Mmm-mmm-mmm..."

Lin Fan frowned, annoyed. His voice was too loud, and his mouth was unbearably foul. He gagged him again. "Someone bring a bowl of piss and wake him up."

"Forget it. I’ve been holding it in all day—I’ll use my pure boy’s urine to cool you off."

Lin Fan grabbed a wine jar and snuck off to a spot away from others, feeling quite pleased as he relieved himself. While it wasn’t a big deal since the dungeon was full of men, he didn’t want others to feel inferior, so he chose to act discreetly.

The Third Master went wild as Lin Fan approached holding the jar, his bloodshot eyes desperate.

Whoosh!

Lin tilted the jar, and liquid splashed over the Third Master’s face.

"Wake up! Stop dreaming." Lin shook his head in disappointment. What was wrong with people nowadays?

Zhu Hou and the others stared at the humiliated Third Master, their hearts filled with fury and sorrow. But none dared speak—a single word might earn them the same treatment.

It was getting late.

Time to head out.

"Keep a good eye on them." Lin Fan didn’t bring Bao Liu or the others along—to avoid giving the Serpent Gang the impression that these men were his close confidants and making them targets.

He thought about the banquet.

Could it really be a Hongmen Banquet?

Logically, the likelihood was low. But regardless, he had to stay cautious.

On the streets.

Lin Fan’s appearance attracted many onlookers.

He didn’t mind the attention. After all, if a capable person didn’t become the center of attention, the capability would be meaningless.

At a shop selling paper effigies.

The shop owner handed two paper figures to a man. "Burn these bald-headed effigy constables for your father—guaranteed to let him swagger down Huangquan Road."

The man happily took the effigies and left.

Lin Fan rubbed his bald head helplessly. Who said ancient folk weren’t creative? This morning’s event had already inspired opportunists—someone was even leeching fame off him. This should at least come with royalties.

PS: Drop a recommendation vote, folks—hehe. End of the month, we’re launching; the excitement is real!
