In the evening, when Lou Yitian heard the knock on the door and saw Yang Feilong through the crack, he was extremely delighted. As he welcomed Yang Feilong into his home, he asked with a smile, "Feilong, why are you here? And without letting us know beforehand? Why bring gifts?"
"I came to Qinglan City on business and to see you two elders," Yang Feilong replied with a smile.
"Ni's mother, come quickly and see who's here!" Lou Yitian called out loudly.
Mrs. Lou emerged from the kitchen and, upon seeing Yang Feilong, was also overjoyed. "Feilong, why are you here? You didn't even call! I could have prepared a meal for you."
"I've already eaten," Yang Feilong said, repeating his earlier explanation with a smile.
"Even if you've eaten, since you're here, you must have a little something. Have a drink with your uncle later," Mrs. Lou said with a smile.
"That's right! I can live a good life now all thanks to you. And I heard from Yimo that she's doing very well in Lanhai City. You are our family's great benefactor!" Lou Yitian chimed in with a smile.
From their words, Yang Feilong could tell that Lou Yimo had not yet informed them about their relationship.
"Uncle, Aunt, please don't be so polite. I'll just have a little drink with Uncle," Yang Feilong said with a wry smile.
He could see that if he didn't stay for a meal, the couple would be very unhappy. It was now past six o'clock, and he still had about three hours before his high-speed train departed. Delaying for two hours would be fine, and if he missed it, he could always rebook. There was another train after ten o'clock, and if all else failed, he could walk, and it wouldn't be much slower. Of course, he preferred to take the high-speed train, as it was hundreds of kilometers away.
"What kind of work are you doing now, Uncle?" Yang Feilong asked Lou Yitian.
"I'm looking for a storefront to open my own restaurant, but I haven't found a suitable one yet," Lou Yitian said with a smile. He used to be a head chef at a grand hotel, but after the previous incident, and with Lou Yimo doing so well and not needing their help, they wanted to do something they enjoyed. Lou Yitian had the culinary skills, and Mrs. Lou was not far behind. So, opening a restaurant seemed like a good idea.
"That's great!" Yang Feilong said with a smile.
While they were eating the dishes prepared by Mrs. Lou and drinking a little wine, chatting away, suddenly, bang, bang, bang, there was a knock on the door.
Upon hearing the knock, both Mrs. Lou and Lou Yitian's expressions changed.
"Feilong, you continue eating, I'll go and see," Lou Yitian said, a hint of anger flashing across his face before he quickly masked it with a forced smile.
"Uncle, let's go together!" Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"No, it might be dangerous," Lou Yitian said with a wry smile.
"Feilong, you just stay here," Mrs. Lou said, a flicker of fear in her eyes, but she still forced a smile.
"Uncle, let's go. If we don't open the door soon, they might break it down!" Yang Feilong said with a smile, then walked towards the main gate in the courtyard. His spiritual sense could cover hundreds of meters, and he could see two young men dressed as hooligans outside.
"Alas! What is this all about!" Lou Yitian sighed.
"Uncle, tell me, what's going on?" Yang Feilong asked with a smile.
"We received compensation recently, quite a lot. But those street punks found out and keep coming over to extort some pocket money. They write IOUs, calling it borrowing, but they never repay. And you can't refuse, or they'll just keep knocking on the door. The neighbors are all fed up, but they don't dare get angry, because these are thugs. If you dare to hit them, they'll lie on the ground," Lou Yitian said, frustrated. "Calling the police is useless too."
Street punks, meaning hooligans! In such a situation, calling the police indeed wouldn't help much. If the police came, they would say they would repay, but they had no money at the moment, and would repay when they did. Moreover, there were many of them. If two came today, two more would come tomorrow. The police couldn't arrest them in such cases, and taking them to court would be even more troublesome.
"And if you don't call the police, they come to borrow money every three days. If you call the police? They'll come every day! The police can't possibly stake out this place," Lou Yitian said, looking depressed.
"From now on, if you encounter any unsolvable problems, just tell me!" Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"En?" Lou Yitian and his wife were both stunned.
"Perhaps Yimo hasn't told you, but compared to my medical skills, my ability to handle these matters is much stronger!" Yang Feilong grinned. "Just watch my performance later!"
"Ah?" The couple looked a bit bewildered.
As they spoke, they had already reached the door. Yang Feilong then pulled open the main door, and two youths came into view.
"Old man, we heard your family struck it rich. We brothers can't even afford to eat, so we've come to borrow some money. Don't worry, we'll write an IOU. We'll repay you when we have money!" one of the youths said, spouting a perfect excuse. But then he saw Yang Feilong. Huh? Did the old man get younger and handsomer? He blinked: "Brother, you are..."
"You want to borrow money, right? Please, come in quickly," Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"En?" The two youths were stunned. Borrowing money so readily? The more he invited them in, the more they were hesitant, feeling as if there might be a conspiracy.
"How much do you want to borrow? If it's too little, don't even bother asking, it's too embarrassing!" Yang Feilong didn't try to persuade them, but said with a chuckle. The two youths were dumbfounded. "If it's too little, don't bother asking?" Had they struck it rich, or had they encountered a fool? They hadn't heard of any foolish sons in this family!
"Hehe, two to three thousand would be fine," one of the youths said nervously.
"Two to three thousand is too little. Come in, write an IOU, and I'll give each of you fifty thousand! How about that?" Yang Feilong said, taking out a stack of money from his pocket. Judging by its thickness, it was at least a hundred thousand. The two hooligans' eyes immediately turned red.
"Okay, brother, you're generous!"
"Don't worry, once we borrow the money, we'll definitely repay it!" The two hooligans' faces lit up with joy as they stepped into the courtyard.
Lou Yitian and his wife wanted to speak, but hesitated. They didn't understand why Yang Feilong was doing this. But at that moment, with a bang, the courtyard gate suddenly closed.
"Since you dare to break into our house to rob us, then beating you to death would be self-defense!" Yang Feilong's lips curved into a sinister smile. With a flip of his hand, the stack of money in his hand disappeared. To their eyes, it seemed as if he had put it in his pocket.
"What?" The two hooligans were stunned. The next moment, they realized that Yang Feilong had been playing them.
"Kid, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
"Beat him!" The two decided to show Yang Feilong some real trouble. After beating him, they could run out, and who would dare prove they were robbing the house? However, soon both of them were knocked to the ground by Yang Feilong's few punches and kicks, wailing miserably, their bodies aching too much to stand.
Lou Yitian and his wife watched, utterly dumbfounded. The medical genius they knew was also so formidable in a fight!
