Teacher Du's Phone Call

...

The next day, when Qin Fei woke up, it was already ten in the morning.

This was considered quite late.

Moreover, usually when she woke up at this time, Gu Siyu and the others would have long been awake.

But today was exceptionally strange.

She checked every room and found that Su Xingwan, Gu Siyu, Cheng Weiyang, and Yang Xin were actually all still sound asleep.

"Brother? Are you cultivating?"

Arriving outside Qin Ning's door, she knocked gently but received no response.

What was going on?

How come even her brother was sleeping in today?

With his cultivation level, this shouldn't be the case.

Although curious, Qin Fei didn't overthink it. She even found a thermometer and took the temperatures of Cheng Weiyang and the others. After confirming they weren't sick, she finally felt relieved.

Afterward, she prepared breakfast for herself. After eating her share and leaving portions for everyone else on the table, she changed into her swimsuit and went to cultivate in the hot spring pool.

For this trip, Qin Ning and his group stayed in the villa for a total of three days and three nights.

During the day, Qin Fei would occasionally go out with the other girls to play or stroll around for a bit and prepare ingredients. At night, they would have a barbecue and then soak in the hot spring.

She noticed something very strange.

Ever since coming here for vacation, Su Xingwan and the others seemed to have become lazy, sleeping until almost noon every day before getting up.

But thinking about it carefully, it made sense. After all, it was rare for them to come out and play, so sleeping in a bit longer was understandable.

It wasn't until the fourth day, after packing everything up, that Qin Ning directly flew back to Liu City with them.

As for the car they drove when they came, they just had Zhuo Zhikuan send someone over to drive it away.

"Welcome home, Young Master Qin. Did you have a good time?"

Outside the villa in Liu City, Xia Fei and the others had received a call last night, so they were waiting there early to welcome them.

The villa across the street had also been directly purchased by them.

The original owner of the villa was considered a big boss. At first, when he heard someone wanted to buy his villa, he was very disdainful. Then, he was directly overwhelmed by the money Wang Er and the others threw at him. The transfer of ownership was handled that very day, and by the second day, all the furniture had been replaced.

Wang Er, Zhou Ping'an, and the others were now living in the villa across the street. Although there weren't many rooms, it was perfectly enough for the six of them: Cai Cheng, Wang Er, Zhong Mingyuan, Zhou Ping'an, Xia Fei, and Liu Silin.

They were originally wondering in their hearts why they suddenly had to move out.

But at this moment, seeing the deeply affectionate gazes Su Xingwan and the others directed at Qin Ning, everything became clear. They secretly gave Qin Ning a thumbs up. To think that just one trip out and he had conquered all of them. Young Master Qin was truly awesome!

On the day they returned, Qin Ning constructed new barriers for both villas and used the materials he brought back from Shu Province last time to create two natural hot spring pools in the backyards of the two villas.

The hot spring pool on Wang Er's side was relatively small, but it was naturally still fine for the six of them to soak together.

As for the hot spring pool on his side, it was large, with an area comparable to a swimming pool.

After finishing his work, it was almost dark. Qin Ning returned to his room and was just about to cultivate when his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number, which made him pause for a moment.

Because not many people knew his number, and he had saved the numbers of all those who did.

"A local number from Liu City..."

He thought of a person; it was his homeroom teacher, Du Ya.

During their last gathering, Qin Ning had seen something from her facial features, so he had left his phone number with her.

Sure enough, after answering, Du Ya's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Hello, is this Qin Ning?"

"It is."

Qin Ning asked with a smile, "Teacher Du, you're looking for me. Did something happen?"

"There is something... I wanted to ask for your help, I don't know if it's convenient for you..."

"It's convenient. If you have a matter, just tell me directly, Teacher Du. Or where are you? I can come over and we can talk face to face."

Back when he was in school, Du Ya had helped Qin Ning quite a bit, so naturally, he wouldn't ignore this homeroom teacher's affairs. If he could help, he naturally would.

Soon, after hanging up the phone, Du Ya sent an address over. It was a location for a hospital.

Qin Ning went down to the living room and found Qin Fei and the others watching TV.

"Xingwan, Teacher Du has a situation and needs me to go over. Drive and come with me," Qin Ning said.

"Okay."

Su Xingwan nodded. Hearing that it was about his homeroom teacher, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

Soon, the two arrived at the garage. Su Xingwan started the car and then drove toward the address Qin Ning had located.

Hospital.

Inside a hospital room.

Qin Ning and Su Xingwan arrived here.

Lying on the hospital bed was a middle-aged man around forty years old, covered in injuries and in a state of coma.

Du Ya was waiting by his side, her face full of haggardness.

This was her husband, Li Xuejun.

"Teacher Du, what exactly happened? Take your time and tell me," Qin Ning asked.

"It happened like this..."

Du Ya then carefully recounted the entire sequence of events from beginning to end.

The couple were both native locals of Liu City, living in an old residential area.

Recently, the residential area was slated for demolition and relocation.

Furthermore, a small portion of the residents had already received their relocation compensation and moved away directly.

What were once warm homes turned into long strings of cold numbers on their bank cards.

However, the majority of the residents actually never received their corresponding relocation compensation; they only received a small portion.

This little bit of money was simply not enough for them to settle down anew in Liu City.

Although the people in charge of the demolition promised that the funds would definitely arrive within three months, that was merely a verbal promise.

Therefore, many residents still hadn't moved out to this day.

This afternoon, people from the demolition company came and warned the residents in the residential area that they must move out within three days, otherwise, they would forcefully demolish it. Excavators, one after another, were already parked outside the residential area.

Naturally, the residents were unwilling. Li Xuejun was the first to stand up, wanting to demand an explanation from the demolition company's people.

As a result, not only did he fail to get an explanation, but he was instead taught a harsh lesson by them.

"Qin Ning, I know you have wide connections. This matter..."

During their last gathering, Du Ya had witnessed Qin Ning's terrifying network of connections. Even the top official, Zhou De, was incredibly respectful toward him.

"Rest assured, Teacher Du, I will handle it."

Qin Ning spoke, "But before that..."

As he spoke, he walked up to Li Xuejun.

Then, under Du Ya's look of disbelief, she saw Qin Ning gently raise his hand and wave it a few times. Suddenly, several wisps of cyan light appeared and seeped into Li Xuejun's glabella.

What was going on?

What were those wisps of cyan light?

She was certain she hadn't seen anything in Qin Ning's hand.

The appearance of these rays of light was extremely magical and simply too unbelievable.

It was like a magic trick, but even more so, it seemed like a magical spell?

Just as Du Ya was caught in a mix of astonishment and bewilderment, she looked over at the hospital bed and saw her husband, Li Xuejun, who had been comatose only moments ago, unexpectedly wake up.
