Chapter 76

"Fortunately, no internal organs were injured, just some muscle and bone injuries. But it takes a hundred days to heal from such injuries. Why didn’t you take him to the hospital?"

After Li Tianyuan fell asleep, Qin Feng turned around. Although his voice didn’t show much fluctuation, Xie Dazhi and his son could both hear the dissatisfaction in his words.

"Xie Xuan, keep an eye on Yuanzi..."

Xie Dazhi instructed his son, then looked at Qin Feng and said, "This matter is a bit complicated. Let’s go to another room to talk, so we don’t wake him up again."

"Alright, let’s find another place to talk."

Qin Feng saw that Li Tianyuan’s breathing was gradually becoming steady and nodded, saying, "Xie Xuan, Yuanzi won’t sleep for long, at most an hour. Wake us up when he does."

"Brother Feng, I... I understand." Xie Xuan lowered his head and replied.

After leaving the main room and entering the right side room, Qin Feng threw his backpack onto the bed with fresh sheets and said, "Uncle Xie, let me guess, was it someone from Yuan Bingqi’s side who did this?"

Before Xie Dazhi could respond, Qin Feng rubbed his temples, puzzled, and said, "I had Li Tianyuan’s name used to handle the procedures for that shop to avoid trouble. How did they find Yuanzi?"

"Qin Feng, this matter is quite coincidental. Let me explain it to you slowly."

Xie Dazhi smiled bitterly and said, "After you left, I first bought this courtyard and also found that young man named Xin Nan as you mentioned..."

Xie Dazhi had been rolling in society for many years and was very reliable, especially when it came to matters Qin Feng had entrusted him with. The day after Qin Feng left, he signed the house purchase agreement with the old lady.

The actual price of the courtyard was even lower than Qin Feng had imagined. For a large house of several hundred square meters, Xie Dazhi only spent 98,000 yuan. Including various miscellaneous expenses and simple renovations, it didn’t exceed 120,000 yuan.

After handling the courtyard, Xie Dazhi also reached a transfer agreement with Xin Nan for the Wenbaozhai. The cost was not high.

Xin Nan, apart from taking a precious Duan inkstone that his grandfather had cherished, transferred everything to Xie Dazhi for a total of 72,000 yuan, of which the goods alone were worth 40,000 yuan.

In fact, Xin Nan was essentially giving the Wenbaozhai to Qin Feng, as the lease for the Wenbaozhai still had three years left, with an annual rent of 24,000 yuan, which had already been paid in full, matching the transfer price.

Unlike the courtyard, which required registration at the real estate management office, all the shops on the antique street belonged to the Chongren Palace Antique Market and could only be leased, not sold.

Therefore, after privately reaching an agreement, Xie Dazhi and Xin Nan went to the Chongren Palace Antique Market office to sign the transfer agreement, completing the matter.

Xie Dazhi also remembered Qin Feng’s instructions and immediately posted a notice on the door of the Wenbaozhai, stating that it would be closed for a month for renovation.

Xie Dazhi himself was very busy. After handling this matter, he immersed himself in his real estate development. However, just a week ago, Li Tianyuan and Xie Xuan got into trouble.

The root of the matter was with Xie Xuan, but ultimately, it was Li Tianyuan’s own doing.

After Qin Feng left, Li Tianyuan had been diligently practicing in the courtyard, rarely leaving the house. He was quite resilient, unlike his peers who were often restless, and he could endure loneliness.

But Xie Xuan couldn’t. In his earlier years, he was a spoiled and unruly young man who loved to frequent places like roller rinks and video halls. Now, watching Li Tianyuan practice every day made him as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Fortunately, the antique street was nearby, and Xie Xuan almost spent all his time there. He was very smart and learned a lot by observing, just like Qin Feng, without speaking much.

But playing alone was not very exciting. A week ago, Xie Xuan said he wanted to check on their own shop and encouraged Li Tianyuan to go with him to the antique street.

Li Tianyuan thought it made sense; the shop that Big Brother Feng had bought was for them to manage. So, the two of them went to the Wenbaozhai and wandered around their shop for a while.

Neither Xie Xuan nor Li Tianyuan expected that their wandering would draw attention. Someone approached them and asked what their relationship was with the Wenbaozhai.

Xie Xuan was a smart person, but Li Tianyuan was straightforward. He immediately declared that the shop belonged to their Big Brother Feng. The person who asked the question immediately changed his expression, said nothing more, and disappeared into the crowd.

Xie Xuan sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled Li Tianyuan away, not daring to return directly to the courtyard. They tried to take a detour through an alley on the east side, but they were blocked after walking about 200 meters.

Eight people blocked their path, two of whom Li Tianyuan had seen at the Wenbaozhai before, and one was the person who had asked the question on the antique street. The other five were burly and clearly thugs.

Li Tianyuan’s appearance clearly indicated he was a street fighter. The other side didn’t waste words, directly asking him where he was from and who his boss was. They suggested that if he was smart, he would give up the Wenbaozhai, and Boss Yuan might forgive them.

But these people didn’t expect that Li Tianyuan was even more straightforward. Before they finished speaking, he charged forward and knocked down the two weaker men with a punch each.

The others were tough, and seeing Li Tianyuan attack, they immediately surrounded him. Fortunately, the alley was not wide, only allowing three people to stand side by side. At the beginning of the fight, Li Tianyuan didn’t suffer much.

Seeing Li Tianyuan’s ferocity, a few of them pulled out knives. As the saying goes, even the best kung fu can’t withstand a kitchen knife, let alone Li Tianyuan, who was just a beginner.

After the knives were drawn, the situation quickly turned against Li Tianyuan. He was first slashed on the chest, then on the head, and repeatedly on the arms.

But this also made Li Tianyuan go berserk. He grabbed a knife and, with a combination of stabbing and slashing, managed to knock down four of them, scaring the remaining two into fleeing.

However, those two didn’t know that Li Tianyuan was also at the end of his strength due to excessive blood loss. If Xie Xuan hadn’t stolen a sheet from a nearby courtyard to wrap him up and support him back to the newly bought courtyard, Li Tianyuan would have fainted there.

To say that Xie Xuan wasn’t good at fighting, but after years in the re-education center, he had seen his fair share of blood. When he called his father to inform him of the incident, he also bought a lot of antibiotics and bandages.

Xie Dazhi acted decisively. Not knowing who Li Tianyuan had offended, he didn’t dare take him to the hospital. He immediately called a close friend, a doctor in Shishi, to bring some basic medical tools and rent a car to come to Jintian.

When Xie Dazhi’s friend arrived, he immediately cleaned and stitched Li Tianyuan’s wounds. Fortunately, Xie Xuan had used bandages to stop the bleeding, or Li Tianyuan would have bled to death.
