An hour was neither too long nor too short.
Fang Qiu left the hotel.
After Fang Qiu made a trip outside the city as John Doe, he came deliberately to the high-speed railway station and took a taxi to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, he found that Li Boqing and the others, who should have been standing at the gate, were all gone.
He was about to go into the hospital to look for them…
“The oldest.”
Suddenly, a man ran out from the side of the hospital and called out to Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu turned his head and looked over.
The man was among one of the thirty more brothers.
“Where are the others?” Fang Qiu asked.
“Follow me.”
The brother turned around. After making sure that no one was watching, he said, “Brother He was afraid that they would take revenge, so he transferred everyone, including the little girl to another place, from the hospital.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
Afterwards, led by this man, Fang Qiu soon came to a shabby two-story building.
This was Ling Zhenhua’s house.
From its appearance, he knew the building must have been built a long time ago. Unlike other houses, the outside of this house was not beautifully painted and didn’t even have a fundamental layer of plaster. At first glance, the house looked like a pile of neatly arranged red bricks.
The height of this building differed greatly with that of the two buildings next door. There was a world of difference in their appearances.
When the others first arrived, they were all shocked by the state of the house.
It was even more inferior to the shabby ones in the urban villages and far worse than those in the countryside.
After all, with the state’s financial subsidies for poverty alleviation in recent years, the buildings in the countryside had all been given a makeover. Ordinary houses in the city were incomparable to them.
Perhaps everyone in the modern world was used to seeing fine buildings. So, when they saw Ling Zhenhua’s house, they were all stunned. It had never occurred to them that his house would be like this.
This house was not only old and worn-out but also very small.
There was not even a single modern cooking appliance in the kitchen. The stove used for cooking and boiling water was made of mud bricks.
Fang Qiu came to the door.
He fell silent when he found out that this was Ling Zhenhua’s home.
It was because this house was extremely dilapidated.
Now, Ling Zhenhua followed and worked for him, but his family lived in such poverty. After all, what kind of life could they expect if a family didn’t have a main breadwinner?
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Fang Qiu felt.
“I’ll have to find a way for them to earn megabucks. I must do it!”
Fang Qiu clenched his fists tightly as he made this resolution in his heart.
“Brother He, the oldest is here.”
As soon as they entered the factory gate, the man who led the way announced Fang Qiu’s arrival.
To avoid being found, He Gaoming and his brothers hid within the workshop. When they heard the shout, they immediately came out.
They opened the door and took a look outside.
As expected, it was John Doe!
The moment they saw John Doe, all of them looked relieved.
Since John Doe was here, there was no need for them to be afraid anymore.
Even if the old man came to seek revenge, he was no match for John Doe. Everyone here was quite confident about that.
“Master, you’re finally here.”
He Gaoming greeted him enthusiastically and said, “We were almost killed!”
Everyone nodded and smiled wryly.
Fang Qiu’s face was livid.
“Why didn’t you tell me in the first place after such a big incident happened?”
Glancing at the crowd, Fang Qiu fixed his eyes on He Gaoming, raising his eyebrows, and asked with dissatisfaction, “Now you’re just slightly injured, so you don’t think it was a big deal. But what if the opponent wanted to kill you? How many of you could survive?”
“Do you not treat me as your brother by keeping this from me?”
Hearing this, all of them lapsed into silence.
They had nothing to say in the face of John Doe’s question.
In their eyes, they were only his followers, and John Doe was their big brother, who was much more superior to them.
Since they hadn’t stayed with John Doe for a long time, they felt there was still a certain distance between them.
In fact, they trusted him without reserve and had a special attachment for John Doe, their power and backer. But still, none of them dared to treat him as their peer, even if John Doe had always been very kind to them.
They didn’t expect that John Doe would stand up for them and question them like this.
Obviously, John Doe felt anxious.
He was worried because he regarded all of them as his brothers from the bottom of his heart. Thus, he really cared about their safety, which touched everyone.
His concern for them shown in a such caring way warmed everyone’s hearts.
“Where is the little girl?”
Seeing that everyone was silent, Fang Qiu sighed and said, “I’ll go and see the child first.”
“In the room.”
Ling Zhenhua stepped forward and hurried to bring Fang Qiu to her.
In the bedroom on the first floor, Ling Zhenhua’s ex-wife was taking care of the little girl who was lying in bed.
At this time, although she had woken up, it was still a little difficult for her to speak. She could move her hands and feet, but her head felt heavy and dizzy.
He entered the room.
In the presence of everyone, Fang Qiu carefully examined her.
“Although she has woken up, the blood clot in her brain hasn’t been removed. She isn’t out of danger yet, that is why she frequently feels tired and faint.”
After the examination, Fang Qiu said, “For us, this is an internal injury.”
“Master, Fang Qiu has already been to see her. He brought her out from her coma and said he needed two more days to clear her clot by using acupuncture.”
He Gaoming said.
“Well, let me clear the blockage first. The speed of treating internal injuries with acupuncture is a little slow.”
After that, Fang Qiu got to work. Gently, he placed his palm on the little girl’s forehead, slowly transferring his internal Qi into her head to clear the blood clot there.
He carried out this exercise for ten minutes.
“There’s basically no problem.”
Fang Qiu stopped and said, “The blood stasis has been cleared. Next, she just needs to recuperate at home.”
“Thank you, the oldest.”
Ling Zhenhua immediately came forward to express his gratitude.
“Thank you, sir.”
In the bed, the little girl politely expressed her thanks.
Her speech was now more coherent and louder.
When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.
“Let’s go out and talk.”
Fang Qiu smiled and nodded to the little girl. Then he turned around and went out, followed by everyone else.
“I’ve already known what happened,” Fang Qiu said.
On their way to Ling Zhenhua’s house, the brother who led the way had told Fang Qiu everything, especially about the chairman Zhang Yiran and the mighty old man. He filled Fang Qiu in about every trivial detail related to the two people and the incident.
“Now that the child is fine, let’s go.”
Fang Qiu narrowed his eyes and said, “Let’s demand a reasonable explanation for what happened. ”
With that, everyone’s spirits suddenly lifted.
He Gaoming led the way in front. The group of more than thirty people full of momentum rushed to the eighth floor of the Yiran Real Estate’s office building.
Based on their previous experience, even the security guards there did not dare to stop them this time.
“Crack!”
Arriving at the office door, He Gaoming directly pushed the door open and let Fang Qiu in.
Fang Qiu entered the office.
He glanced around and found only a mature, short-haired woman sitting at the desk. The old man mentioned by his brothers didn’t seem to be there.
“How dare you come back?”
Right after Zhang Yiran saw He Gaoming and the others, her face fell. Then she jumped up and said, “Do you want to die?”
“Where’s that old man?”
He Gaoming was about to speak but was stopped by Fang Qiu by a wave of his hand. Then Fang Qiu sat down on the luxurious sofa in the office. Looking at Zhang Yiran, he said, “It seems my brothers are right. You are indeed very capable. You dare to talk to more than thirty men like this, while no one is here to back you up. How dare you be so arrogant and put on such airs?”
When Zhang Yiran heard that, her face immediately darkened.
This time, her uncle was not with her.
She had to deal with more than thirty people.
“Are you scared?”
Seeing how her face changed dramatically, Fang Qiu immediately shook his head with a smile and said, “Since you are afraid, hurry and call him. Tell the others that I, John Doe, am waiting for his arrival here!”
Zhang Yiran didn’t dare to hesitate.
She immediately dialed the elder’s number.
“Uncle, they’re back again.”
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhang Yiran said in a panic-stricken voice.
“Relax. That bunch of people won’t dare to do anything to you with my support.”
The old man’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“They, they even called someone over.”
Zhang Yiran looked at Fang Qiu and continued, “The man asked me to tell you that John Doe is waiting for you here.”
“Who?”
The old man was stunned as if he had misheard what she said.
“John Doe.”
Zhang Yiran repeated, “He said his name is John Doe.”
“John Doe?!!!”
When the old man spoke, his voice became extremely nervous. Obviously, he was shocked. Then, he simply ignored her cry for help and said, “Don’t call me again! Don’t tell him who I am!!!”
After that, he hung up the phone.
“Uncle, uncle…”
The next moment, Zhang Yiran was filled with anxiety.
To her great surprise, her uncle was scared out of his wits as soon as she said the young man’s name.
Judging from his attitude, it was apparent that he wouldn’t help her out this time.
“I, I, I…”
Putting down the phone, Zhang Yiran, alarmed and panicky, came out from behind the desk, glanced at everyone and trembled all over and looked as if she was about to get on her knees. She stuttered, “I’m, I’m sorry.”
“I was wrong. It’s all my fault. Everything’s my fault. I apologize and I owe that child an apology. I… I… I was really wrong.”
He Gaoming spat coldly.
All the other brothers snorted coldly as well.
In their eyes, this woman was exceedingly shameless!
“I, let me compensate you. I’ll pay you five million Huaxia dollars.”
However, Fang Qiu did not reply. His horrifying silence caused a surge of panic through Zhang Yiran, who hurriedly added, “Not only will I offer you sufficient compensation, but I will also pay a visit and apologize to the child and her mother.”
When he heard that, Fang Qiu turned to look at Ling Zhenhua, who was standing aside.
“You think you’re so superior just because you have money, don’t you? Can rich people bully others at will?”
Ling Zhenhua stood up and spoke gruffly with a stern countenance, “I never beat up women, but since you dared to hurt my daughter, so I must seek justice for her!”
After that, he stepped forward.
“Pa!”
Without using his internal Qi, he slapped the woman hard across her face.
