Chapter 75

Fang Tianfeng said, "It's definitely not a disease. Since it's raised at home, a little change is no problem. I'm just accumulating experience now. Once I understand it, I'll make money from the arowanas."

Lao Zhou said, "Invest in arowanas? That's very difficult. The ones making money now are the fish farms, most of which rely on importing foreign arowanas, with a few breeding them themselves. Do you think you can make money by raising a few golden arowanas at home? Besides, the golden-headed and overback golden arowanas can only be hatched in ponds; there has never been a precedent for hatching them in aquariums."

"Really? I didn't know that," Fang Tianfeng frowned in thought, but a moment later he smiled and said, "People used to say that China couldn't hatch arowanas, but now it can. I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll consider other options."

Lao Zhou said, "Alright, give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll talk about it later. If you need funds to set up a fish farm, I'll invest. I have high hopes for you."

"No problem."

Lao Zhou stared at the golden arowanas, becoming increasingly pleased, and said, "Xiao Fang, you're amazing! These four arowanas are so lively! The golden-bottomed golden-headed arowanas have a problem with their whiskers, making it hard to judge, but the two purple-bottomed golden-headed ones are definitely getting better! I really want to move all my fish and birds here."

Fang Tianfeng smiled and said, "This is someone else's villa, so it's not good to put too many things here."

Lao Zhou said, "You're so talented, it's a waste for you to just watch over a villa. Why don't you go to my son's company? If he doesn't give you a salary of over ten thousand, I won't let him into the house."

Fang Tianfeng laughed and said, "Thanks, Lao Zhou, but I quite like a leisurely life. Besides, I'm planning to invest in arowanas, and I might make more money than working a job in the future."

"That's true."

Fang Tianfeng asked, "Are these two pairs of arowanas one male and one female each?"

"Yes, when I bought them, I specifically chose one male and one female. They say raising them this way can prevent arowanas from fighting. They look beautiful, but they are carnivores. I've been bitten once, and it really hurt."

As Lao Zhou spoke, he looked at Xia Xiaoyu, his gaze falling on her knee, and his expression changed. He said to Fang Tianfeng, "This is your little girlfriend, and she's really pretty. But be careful."

Xia Xiaoyu immediately thought of the old man from the pharmacy yesterday, blushed, and lowered her head, wishing she could run away immediately.

Fang Tianfeng laughed awkwardly and said, "Lao Zhou, don't joke around. She's my friend. She fell yesterday and came here to recover."

Lao Zhou glanced at Xia Xiaoyu again, then smiled and continued to watch the arowanas.

Xia Xiaoyu looked at Fang Tianfeng for help.

Fang Tianfeng walked over helplessly, picked her up, and carried her upstairs.

Lao Zhou said softly, "You're so close, and you still say she's not your girlfriend."

Xia Xiaoyu buried her head in his chest, her face turning red.

Fang Tianfeng said in a low voice, "Don't listen to them. Old people like to joke with young people."

Xia Xiaoyu nodded, not daring to speak.

After placing Xia Xiaoyu on the bed, Fang Tianfeng went downstairs to call He Changxiong.

"Changxiong, you said you know the deputy director of the provincial hospital?"

"Yes, I know him."

"I have a friend named Xia Xiaoyu, who is a nurse at the provincial hospital. She fell ill yesterday and can't go to work. Can you help her take a leave of absence for two days?"

"Take a leave of absence? Why not just ask for leave?"

"But asking for leave means losing the bonus."

"Whether you lose the bonus or not is just a matter of a word."

Fang Tianfeng said, "Alright, but it's best not to let the people in her department have any complaints, as she still has to work there."

"Don't worry about that."

"Do you have time now?"

"Coming early is better. There's no one around now."

"Alright, I'll go first."

Fang Tianfeng told Lao Zhou he was going out, then went upstairs and said to Xia Xiaoyu, "I'm going out. It will take at least an hour to come back. There's no TV upstairs, so I'll carry you downstairs."

Xia Xiaoyu asked, "Can I use the computer in the study?"

"Sure, you can use the computer."

Fang Tianfeng left Chang'an Garden and went to the provincial hospital to treat Old He.

Although Old He's condition had not improved significantly, his complexion was getting better, and his attitude toward Fang Tianfeng had also improved. If he weren't so ill, he would definitely have chatted with Fang Tianfeng.

After leaving the ward, He Changxiong took Fang Tianfeng to the family companion room, where only the two of them were.

He Changxiong, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and black shoes, looked slightly thinner than Fang Tianfeng, with extremely sharp eyes. His overall demeanor was slightly inferior to Fang Tianfeng's, but he was still a standout. However, he had a certain air of frivolity that couldn't be erased, lacking a bit of steadiness. But since he was only in his twenties, it wasn't a big problem.

He Changxiong sat on the sofa and said, "Do you remember the matter of the Wu Bureau Chief who ordered your arrest?"

"Yes, I remember."

"We have already started to act, but our He family is too conspicuous. To avoid putting my elder brother in a difficult position, we won't compete for the number one position in the municipal bureau, but we must secure the number two position, the deputy director. Coincidentally, the person we want to promote is also surnamed Wu. He is currently the young Wu Bureau Chief of the Changyun District. He said he has heard of your name and even helped you deal with a small police officer. Is that true?"

Fang Tianfeng quickly remembered and said, "Yes, that's the young Wu Bureau Chief. When I first moved into Chang'an Garden, the security guard and property manager teamed up with the police to cause trouble. Meng Decai found someone to help resolve it, and his friend must have contacted this young Wu Bureau Chief. I will thank him if I get the chance."

He Changxiong laughed and said, "Since we are all on the same side, I'll be straightforward. The old Wu Bureau Chief has deep roots, and in recent years, the power of the public security bureau has increased. This old Wu Bureau Chief is also the vice mayor, making it difficult to bring him down. The main issue is the lack of solid evidence."

Fang Tianfeng asked, "Do you want me to help you find evidence?"

"Yes. Without sufficient evidence, our people in the disciplinary inspection commission can't take action."

Fang Tianfeng knew that the disciplinary inspection commission was the department responsible for investigating and handling official crimes. To bring down an official, it was relatively easier to find a breakthrough here.

He Changxiong said, "We all know you have a special ability, so we want you to calculate what he has done and where to find evidence and witnesses."

Fang Tianfeng laughed and said, "I only have a basic understanding of fortune-telling and am not a god. I can't calculate that clearly."

"What can you do?" He Changxiong asked.

Fang Tianfeng lowered his head in thought, then smiled confidently and said, "I can make the evidence come out on its own and expose the old Wu Bureau Chief's problems. Is that acceptable?"

He Changxiong looked at Fang Tianfeng with a doubtful expression and said, "That sounds too mystical. You can't find the evidence, but you can expose his problems? The latter is hundreds of times harder than the former."

Fang Tianfeng smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Wait a few days, and arrange a meeting between me and the old Wu Bureau Chief. I will handle it. However, you must apply as much pressure as possible and mobilize the greatest force. Otherwise, I will be in danger."

He Changxiong's expression changed, and he asked, "What method are you using?"

Fang Tianfeng shook his head and said, "I can't say, I can't say. You'll see when the time comes."

He Changxiong was half-believing and half-doubting and said, "I'll wait for your good news. If you can expose his problems, our operations will be smoother."

"I'll go back first."

Fang Tianfeng left the provincial hospital and was halfway when he received a call from He Changxiong.

"Tianfeng, the young Wu Bureau Chief said that since you are an old friend, he wants to invite you for a meal."

"Sure, but my sister is coming today. I should be free tomorrow or the day after. Set the time and place, and let me know."

"Alright."

Fang Tianfeng reviewed the plan to deal with the old Wu Bureau Chief in his mind and found it still lacked security, so he called Gangbo.

"Gangbo, if you have time, come to Chang'an Garden."

"Sure! I'll be there right away."

By the time Fang Tianfeng arrived at Chang'an Garden, Gangbo was already waiting.

Xiao Tao said that Lao Zhou had already left and had been in the living room with him. Fang Tianfeng nodded, indicating that Xiao Tao had done well. Although Lao Zhou was an elder, he was still an outsider.

Fang Tianfeng led Gangbo into the house. As soon as they entered, he heard Xia Xiaoyu call from upstairs, "Brother Tianfeng, is that you?"

"It's me. Do you want to come downstairs?"

"No, I just wanted to ask." Xia Xiaoyu's voice became softer.

"I need to talk to my friend for a bit. I'll come up to see you later."

"Okay."

Fang Tianfeng had Gangbo sit down and brought fruit from the kitchen.

"Fang Brother, what do you need me for?" Gangbo was excited because after the incident where he beat up Old Gu, many big troublemakers in Yunhai City contacted him with particularly good attitudes.

Fang Tianfeng thought for a moment and said, "There are some things that can't be said, but also can't be left unsaid. You've probably heard that I can tell fortunes and have special abilities, right?"

Gangbo immediately said, "You are Master Fang, I know that."

Fang Tianfeng looked into Gangbo's eyes and said, "You should know that at certain times, your luck is better than others, especially in dangerous situations."

Gangbo nodded and said, "Yes, I've always felt that way. I, Gangbo, have made it to where I am today through fighting. I fight harder than anyone, but strangely, I've never suffered a fatal injury."

Fang Tianfeng smiled and said, "So, I say your luck is better than others. I need your 'luck' now, but I won't take it all. I'll borrow a part and repay you in other ways."

Gangbo looked at Fang Tianfeng carefully and felt a chill down his spine, realizing he wasn't joking.

"Can you really take my luck?"

"Yes. But I won't force it, so I'm discussing it with you. Whether you agree or not is entirely up to you."

Gangbo had a small amount of noble aura, though not much. If Fang Tianfeng wanted to take it by force, he would have to pay a significant price, as noble aura is second only to dragon aura.

Gangbo asked worriedly, "If I lose this luck, will I die?"

Fang Tianfeng said, "No, but if you encounter dangerous situations in the future, you will suffer more severe injuries. However, since I'm borrowing your noble aura, I will take responsibility for protecting you. As long as you have a breath left, I can save you."

Gangbo thought for a moment and said firmly, "I've seen how you act, Fang Brother. It's an honor for me to let you borrow my luck. If I don't give it to you, I'm being ungrateful. Take it!"

"Very good. This time, I'll only take a little. In the future, I might take more, but I promise you will get more than you give! Handle your affairs, especially those involving black activities. There are many opportunities to make money now, so there's no need to take risks. Once you've handled things, I'll find a new path for you."
