Chapter 77

It was fortunate that Xie Dazhi acted cautiously and did not seek a doctor from the local area in Jin Tian.

After the incident, almost all hospitals, clinics, and even pharmacies in the eastern part of Jin Tian were controlled by people. Xie Xuan had bought early, otherwise, he would surely have been discovered.

These days, people doing business, especially those who have reached a certain scale, almost all have some connection with the underworld. After sending away his doctor friend, Xie Dazhi inquired and was instantly frightened out of his wits.

Yuan Bingqi, who dominated half of Jin Tian, was extremely enraged by this incident. He almost dispatched all his subordinates to search for Li Tianyuan and publicly declared that he would definitely take Li Tianyuan's life!

To be honest, if it weren't for his son's involvement, Xie Dazhi might have almost had the thought of handing Li Tianyuan over, because although Yuan Bingqi was not as ostentatious as his grandfather, his ruthlessness was even more pronounced.

As a key transportation route connecting Beijing, Tianjin, and the provinces of Shandong and Hebei, Jin Tian became one of the largest logistics centers in the country in the early 1990s, with millions of goods being transferred here every day.

Naturally, cargo transportation required trucks, and the earliest form of logistics, the freight station, also emerged. At that time, as long as you had a truck, you could make money, and running a freight station was almost like making a fortune every day.

Such a profitable business naturally caught Yuan Bingqi's attention, but he entered the industry too late and had no trucks, so his business was not very good at first.

However, someone like Yuan Bingqi would not develop his freight station step by step. Thus, the freight industry in Jin Tian entered a dark period.

Yuan Bingqi gathered a group of ex-convicts and used violence to force the surrounding freight stations to close, while also intimidating and bribing truck drivers to work for his freight station.

Those who could work in the freight industry were not easy to deal with, and the conflicts intensified. However, Yuan Bingqi's men were fearless and had several hunting rifles, which gave them the upper hand in several conflicts.

In just one month, Yuan Bingqi dominated half of the freight industry in Jin Tian, controlling nearly thirty freight transfer stations.

Yuan Bingqi's smart move was that the freight stations he targeted were mostly like him, grassroots people who had nothing to lose. He did not touch any freight stations with connections or backgrounds, thus not affecting their interests. On the contrary, during the chaotic period, these freight stations benefited from the increased business.

Another point was that Yuan Bingqi acted very quickly. Just as the government and relevant departments were about to clean up the chaotic industry, the freight industry suddenly stabilized.

During this period, some of those who had engaged in violence actually turned themselves in to the police, which caught those who had been watching Yuan Bingqi off guard.

Thus, Yuan Bingqi, having cleaned himself up, obtained the largest pot of gold in his life. The thriving freight industry brought him millions of yuan in income every year.

Using this money, Yuan Bingqi built a vast network of relationships. By now, his business was no longer limited to freight but had extended to real estate, catering, entertainment, and other areas.

Of course, with his improved social status, Yuan Bingqi was no longer the cautious grassroots person he once was. He now associated with high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

In the underworld, his subordinates all addressed him as "Lord Yuan." Yuan Bingqi's influence in Jin Tian was even greater than that of his grandfather, who had been suppressed and died.

Although Xie Dazhi did not know why Yuan Bingqi, with his different status, was so enraged by this incident, he was genuinely frightened.

Without understanding Yuan Bingqi's intentions, Xie Dazhi did not dare to seek mediation. He could only hide his son and Li Tianyuan in a small courtyard, personally delivering meals to them every day.

Yuan Bingqi's people probably did not expect that after Li Tianyuan fled, he would hide right under their noses. Despite dispatching a large number of people to search for Li Tianyuan, the area around Chongren Palace remained unusually safe.

"Those who want to destroy someone first make them go crazy. He and his grandfather will soon meet..."

After Xie Dazhi finished recounting the events, Qin Feng remained silent for a while before speaking: "Uncle Xie, thank you for your help. I'll handle the rest."

"You handle it? How will you handle it?"

Xie Dazhi shook his head and said, "Qin Feng, you don't understand how ruthless those people are. They really will take lives. How many people does Yuan Bingqi send to the Haihe River every year from his entertainment venues?"

Business people often go to entertainment venues, and the top nightclubs in Jin Tian are all part of Yuan Bingqi's business. Xie Dazhi had heard many related rumors.

"Qin Feng, how about this: once Yuanzi's injuries are a bit better, I'll call a car to take you out of Jin Tian and to Jinling to hide for a while. I have some good friends there..."

Xie Dazhi paused, seemingly considering how to proceed, and then continued: "As for the Wenbaozhai, don't open it anymore. There are people watching the shop every day, waiting for you to show up."

"Alright, leaving for a while is good. Yuanzi's injuries need to be treated in a hospital to heal faster."

Qin Feng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Uncle Xie, after Yuanzi's injuries improve in three to five days, it should be fine to travel. Then you can call a car from another city to take him and Xuanzi to Jinling."

"Alright, let's do it that way..."

Xie Dazhi agreed, then suddenly paused, looking at Qin Feng and saying, "Qin Feng, aren't you going? If they find out you're together, it won't be a joke."

"Uncle Xie, do you think those thugs are really like Sherlock Holmes? Can they find me?"

Qin Feng laughed, but his smile was cold, "Is this matter over just because Yuanzi was beaten like this? I spent over 70,000 yuan on the Wenbaozhai. Am I just going to let it go to waste?"

After leaving home with his sister, Qin Feng learned a lesson from countless white eyes and punches: when you encounter a ruthless person, you must be even more ruthless; when you encounter a bad person, you must be even worse.

As the saying goes, a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, while a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. In this society, it's all about power and the strong rule. If he fled from Yuan Bingqi now, he might encounter someone like Li Bingqi or Wang Bingqi in the future.

So even if it wasn't for the Wenbaozhai, Qin Feng would not leave Jin Tian in such a cowardly manner. With his mastery of the Eight Outer Gates, he was not a lamb to be slaughtered but a wolf capable of taking lives.

In the underworld, actions are based on swift and decisive revenge. Yuan Bingqi's men severely injured Li Tianyuan, and their relentless pursuit only fueled Qin Feng's desire for retribution.

Although Yuan Bingqi was powerful in Tianjin, he also had many enemies. Acting alone and in the shadows, Qin Feng could strike at any time, ready to sink his lethal fangs into Yuan Bingqi's neck.
