Chapter 71

"Uncle Xie, the house is at 386 Wenhua Lane, right next to Chongren Palace. The old lady is asking for 120,000, but I think we can negotiate a bit more…"

After Qin Feng roughly introduced the situation of the house to Xie Dazhi, he continued, "But don't buy the house in my name. It's best to use Xie Xuan's name."

"Why is that? Qin Feng, Xuan already has a house. Why not put it in your name…"

Xie Dazhi looked at Qin Feng with some confusion. According to his generation's thinking, having a house meant having a home, and he had never heard of someone spending their own money to buy a house and then putting it in someone else's name.

"Uncle Xie, Xie Xuan is my brother, so it's the same. Let me tell you about the shop…"

Qin Feng smiled and changed the topic to the antique shop on the street. "No one dares to take over that shop now. I hope you can take it over and close it for a month after that."

"Of course, we'll still pay the rent and other expenses. Also, don't let anyone find out who took over the shop…"

Qin Feng didn't hide the situation of the shop and explained it all to Xie Dazhi. Xie Dazhi's expression kept changing, clearly he had heard of Yuan Bingqi's reputation.

"Qin Feng, it's best not to take over that shop. These local hoods are not to be provoked." If it were in Shishi, Xie Dazhi wouldn't be afraid, but in Jintian, he had no roots and didn't want to provoke these people.

"Uncle Xie, it's fine. Use Yuanzi's name to sign the contract…"

Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "After the procedures are done, have that man named Xin Nan go back to Beijing directly, then close Wenbaozhai. Yuanzi's name is obscure, so they won't find out for a while."

"But… the shop will eventually have to open, right?" Xie Dazhi didn't understand Qin Feng's thinking. If they offended the local hoods, how could they have an easy life?

"Just pay them protection money when the time comes. If others pay 2,000, we can pay 4,000, can't we?" Qin Feng made up a lie on the spot. He couldn't say that he was currently too busy to deal with Yuan.

"Alright, I'll handle both things for you."

Seeing Qin Feng's determination, Xie Dazhi didn't say much more. If anything happened, he could ask his friends to intercede with Yuan Bingqi, and he believed Yuan would give him some face.

After arranging the matters in Jintian, Qin Feng bought a ticket and went directly to Cangzhou.

This time, besides looking for his sister, Qin Feng also had to visit the Liu family. While in prison, it was one thing, but now that he was out, not visiting the Liu family would be impolite.

Standing at the gate of the Liu family's courtyard, Qin Feng was somewhat lost in thought. He had brought his sister here countless times in the past, but now he was alone.

"Woof… woof woof!"

A series of urgent barks came from inside the Liu family's courtyard, and then a large yellow dog with some of its fur missing shot out like an arrow.

"Big Yellow, what are you doing?"

Liu Jiacheng's voice rang out, and he ran out of the courtyard after Big Yellow. His movements didn't seem like those of a man in his sixties; he was still very agile.

"Huh? Who are you?"

When Liu Jiacheng saw Big Yellow affectionately jumping on a young man, his eyes widened in surprise. No one in the Liu family knew the old dog's temperament better than he did.

When Qin Feng and his sister had their incident, Liu Jiacheng and his brothers, along with Liu Zimo, were in Taiwan. By the time they returned, everything was settled, and there was no room for negotiation.

Later, Liu Zimo brought the nearly starved Big Yellow back from where Qin Feng lived.

When Big Yellow first came to the Liu family, he was extremely aggressive, even biting to death a Tibetan mastiff that Liu Jiacheng had bought for over 10,000 yuan. No one in the Liu family except Liu Zimo could approach Big Yellow.

After Liu Zimo left the Liu family courtyard in Cangzhou, the task of taking care of Big Yellow fell to Liu Jiacheng. He liked the dog's loyalty and spent over half a year making Big Yellow accept him.

Now, Big Yellow was being so affectionate with a stranger, which left Liu Jiacheng speechless. Over the years, the Liu family had paid out a lot of money because of Big Yellow biting people.

"Big Yellow, I've missed you so much…"

Hugging Big Yellow's neck tightly, Qin Feng's eyes were filled with tears. He could feel the dog's unconditional love for him. Scenes of him and his sister with Big Yellow following behind them flashed through his mind like a movie.

"Whine… whine whine…"

Big Yellow whined, his eyes, which seemed to speak, overflowed with liquid. He gently bit Qin Feng's arm, refusing to let go. Sometimes, the emotions of animals are more sincere and loyal than those of humans.

"I won't leave, Big Yellow. We'll be together forever from now on."

Qin Feng, who had been sentenced to four years in prison, hadn't shed a single tear. He had endured beatings while learning from his master, but only at the passing of Zai Shi and at this moment did his tears flow uncontrollably.

Actually, Qin Feng had returned to Cangzhou a few years ago and had thought about taking Big Yellow away, but he was still in prison at the time. He didn't want to be discovered by the Liu family, and even if he had taken Big Yellow, he had nowhere to put him.

"I… I know, you… you're Qin Feng!"

Standing at the gate, Liu Jiacheng suddenly thought of a possibility. Only the return of his old master could make Big Yellow act like this.

"Uncle Liu, it's me, I'm Qin Feng!"

Wiping away his tears, Qin Feng looked up. Compared to four years ago, his sharp chin had become more rounded, but the eyes still held a trace of the old Qin Feng.

"Good boy, Zimo called to ask about you a while ago."

Liu Jiacheng patted Qin Feng's shoulder hard and said, "You have a heart, not forgetting the old Liu family. Hey, Big Yellow, you even bite me?"

Liu Jiacheng's slap on Qin Feng's shoulder didn't matter, but Big Yellow, who had been wagging his tail around Qin Feng, suddenly bit Liu Jiacheng's arm. Although it wasn't a serious bite, Liu Jiacheng's sleeve was torn.

"Damn, I've wasted years raising you."

Liu Jiacheng scolded Big Yellow, but he didn't dare to show too much affection to Qin Feng anymore, as the old dog could turn on him.

"Uncle Liu, are you okay? Big Yellow, no biting!"

Qin Feng, concerned, held Liu Jiacheng and saw that his arm wasn't bleeding, which put his mind at ease.

Qin Feng had grown up with his sister, used to the cold looks of the world, but he remembered those who had been good to him. Liu Jiacheng had taken care of him many times in the past.

"I'm fine, lucky I reacted quickly."

Liu Jiacheng shook his head. When Big Yellow bit him, his arm muscles automatically contracted, or else he would have bled.

"Come in, let's talk. Good boy, you've really grown up."

Liu Jiacheng wanted to pat Qin Feng again, but seeing Big Yellow's menacing look, he reluctantly pulled his hand back.

"Uncle Liu, will I cause you trouble by coming in?"

Qin Feng hesitated. The Sun brothers he had killed had many relatives in this small town. If it got out, he was afraid the Liu family would have a conflict with them.

"Trouble? What trouble?" Liu Jiacheng glared, "We Liu family don't go looking for trouble, and in Cangzhou, who dares to cause us trouble?"

Since Liu Yunjiao, the Liu family had always been a major force in the northern underworld. They openly took on disciples and taught martial arts, but secretly engaged in some shady business, not necessarily respecting the law.

So, in Liu Jiacheng's view, the two Sun brothers were worthless and deserved to die, and they had even caused Qin Feng to spend years in prison. Over the years, he had caused a lot of trouble for the Sun family.

Leading Qin Feng into the courtyard, Liu Jiacheng called over a sturdy man in his thirties and said, "Ma Si, go to the town and buy two pounds of pig's head meat, a roasted chicken, and some donkey meat…"

"Uncle Liu, Brother Si, no need to be so formal." Qin Feng recognized the man called Ma Si, who was Liu Jiacheng's disciple and had very solid martial arts skills. Qin Feng had learned a lot from him in the past.

"You know me? Master, who is this?"

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Ma Si looked at him with some confusion, then suddenly realized and said, "You're Qin Feng, huh? Wow, you've grown so much. When you first came, you were just a little sprout."

Back then, Qin Feng didn't get along well with children his age in the town, but the adults in the town liked him a lot and often used his good behavior to scold their own children.

"Brother Qin Feng, wait a moment. I'll buy the food and come back. We'll have a good drink tonight with Master!"

Even though Qin Feng had committed murder and killed five people, which would make most people avoid him, in the eyes of a man like Ma Si, killing a few people was nothing. It was the way of a true man to settle scores, so he treated Qin Feng with more respect.
