Chapter 16

The director of the Quanhe Province People’s Hospital was called Du Bai. He was Kong Xiuyao’s thirteenth disciple, even though he did not learn the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Needle and did not have Hua Hong’s miraculous medical skills.

However, he was an expert in heart, brain, and blood vessels. No one in the country could compare to him. After leaving the mountain, he had worked hard in the provincial hospital for many years and was now the dean.

Initially, Du Bai thought that his achievements were enough to make his master, Kong Xiuyao, proud. However, he did not expect that after being separated for so many years, the first thing his master said when they met was to assign him a patient.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to accept it, but he wanted to talk to Kong Xiuyao more. He wanted to discuss his many years of research results with his master and obtain some pointers.

Du Bai was not good at hiding his emotions. The corner of his mouth almost fell to the ground as he stared at Shen Feishang with resentment.

Actually, Du Bai was not the only one who was unwilling. Shen Feishang was also unwilling. The Director of the People’s Hospital was famous for being difficult to manage. Even money might not be able to make Dean Du squeeze out some time.

More importantly, Shen Feishang was short of money.

It wasn’t that he was poor. A few years ago, he had saved some money by raising guinea fowl, so basic living wasn’t a problem. However, now that the chickens were all dead and the house was occupied, he didn’t even have a place to live. There would be a lot of money to spend in the future, and he would save as much as he could.

In Shen Feishang’s values, he didn’t think much of treating Kong Xiuyao to a meal. After all, they had been brothers for so many years. However, when it came to treating injuries, Shen Feishang only wanted to turn around and leave.

Just like that, in a situation where both sides were very unwilling, Kong Xiuyao only moved his mouth and forcefully brought the two of them together.

He first said to Du Bai, “Old Shen has done me a favor. You must treat him well.”

Du Bai did not dare to disobey his master. He nodded and agreed.

Then, Kong Xiuyao said to Shen Feishang, “Old Shen, listen to Dean Du. I’ll pick you up tonight. Don’t worry about the money. I’ll settle everything.”

His attitude was casual and unyielding, making Shen Feishang not dare to refute. He could only nod obediently and follow Du Bai into the hospital obediently.

“Let’s go back to Pingxu Village,” Kong Xiuyao said to Qiu Lingruo.

After settling Shen Feishang down, it was time to deal with Song Ding!

Qiu Lingruo could not wait any longer. Even though she had only interacted with Shen Feishang for less than half a day, she could tell that Shen Feishang was sincerely good to Kong Xiuyao. He had worked hard to take care of Kong Xiuyao’s parents for so many years.

His family was in trouble, but he still wanted to send chickens to Kong Xiuyao. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were family.

Kong Xiuyao’s family was Qiu Lingruo’s family. Back in the restaurant, she had wanted to return to the village to beat Song Ding’s dog teeth and vent Shen Feishang’s anger.

The two of them got back into the car and the BMW started. Qiu Lingruo didn’t wait for the seatbelt to be fastened properly and said impatiently, “Master, I have all the contact information of the black boss of Quanhe Province! Immediately hire someone to flatten Song Ding’s nest and make him kneel in front of Brother Shen to apologize!”

“Oh, you.” Kong Xiuyao patted her head lightly. “Do we have to play along when the other party acts like a hooligan? This is a lawful society, do you know that?”

Qiu Lingruo covered her forehead and thought aggrievedly, “My intelligence work is not very legal. This request is too difficult for me.”

“Then what about you, Master?” Qiu Lingruo punched Kong Xiuyao’s shoulder in a fawning manner. She liked the way the two of them interacted too much. Every time she called Master’s name, she had the illusion that her lifespan would be shortened.

Kong Xiuyao thought for a moment and said, “Since we want to deal with him, we have to deal with the forces behind him as well. Otherwise, Li Ding and Zhang Ding will enter the village to snatch houses in the future.”

“Understood! I’ll immediately investigate the power behind Song Ding! Master, do you have any other instructions?”

“Not for the time being. With your current ability, how long will it take for you to find out?” Kong Xiuyao’s voice sank. His master’s soul was possessed, and he could examine his disciple’s homework at any time.

“Ten minutes!” Qiu Lingruo pretended to be serious. “He’s just a hooligan. It’s already an honor to delay me for ten minutes.”

Qiu Lingruo did as she was told. She made a few calls to her subordinates and only gave them a name and an address.

After hanging up, she felt that it was inappropriate. She called a few black bosses she thought were good people and asked if they knew Song Ding.

Connections were like a spider’s web. There was always a connection. The two channels ran side by side and soon there was news.

“It’s here. Master, look!” Qiu Lingruo raised her phone and wished she could stick it to Kong Xiuyao’s face. It was full of information about Song Ding, and it was the kind that had been sorted into Word.

Kong Xiuyao glanced at the time on the top right and said, “Eight minutes. Your results are average. Keep up the good work.”

This evaluation was neither good nor bad. A short eleven words could exchange for Qiu Lingruo’s heart attack for a day.

She knew very well that it was not that Kong Xiuyao was strict and stingy with his praise for his disciple, but that she had only learned 1% of Kong Xiuyao’s true ability. This evaluation was very pertinent, but it did not stop her from being sad.

Kong Xiuyao was long used to his disciple’s intermittent loss. People with ability would never collapse after a setback, but would constantly learn lessons and bravely advance.

This was the first lesson he taught his disciples.

Taking advantage of Qiu Lingruo’s sadness, Kong Xiuyao read through the information he had gathered.

Song Ding was indeed a distant relative of Old Song in Pingxu Village. As for how far away it was, perhaps even Old Song himself didn’t know. However, taking over the housing left behind by Old Song was barely acceptable without leaving a will.

The reason why he, an outsider, dared to be so arrogant was that Song Ding had a backer in both the underworld and the underworld.

According to the information, the black boss behind Song Ding was called Black Bull. He was in the construction materials business. He had a group of subordinates who were both workers and fighters.

This Black Bull had opened a construction material shop in Quan River. On the surface, it sold cement and steel bars, but in fact, it relied on the fact that there were many people and no one cared about it. It often forcefully bought goods from other shops and sold them at the price of cabbage and gold. The shops on the entire street were afraid of it.

Many people would rather change places to do business than stay away from this God of Plague. In short, Building Materials Street was in a foul state and filled with grievances.

Even so, the workers who had beaten up Shen Feishang with Song Ding should be Black Bull’s subordinates.

Kong Xiuyao circled it with a red line. He had to teach this Black Bull a lesson.

He continued reading. Song Ding’s other backer was called Song Baogang, the deputy director of the village police station. He was Song Ding’s distant uncle. If he insisted on being related, he should be related to Old Song.

Kong Xiuyao remembered that Shen Feishang had said that Old Song’s life was bleak at night. It could be said that he was almost alone. No one had ever visited him, and he could only rely on his neighbors to support him.

Who would have thought that he would have a relative who was the deputy director? It was extremely ironic!

Not only did this deputy director ignore the elders of the clan, but he also covered up his nephew’s crime and instigated the police officers under him to follow suit. He really let down the badge on his chest.

Kong Xiuyao’s expression became even colder. He pointed at the two names circled on the screen and said, “There’s no need to keep these two people!”
