Chapter 817
Easily resolved
Xu Bo'an said to the man, "Oh? You're trying to threaten me with jumping off a building? Fine, I won't stop you. Go ahead and jump. Oh, wait, if you want to jump, your leg isn't very convenient right now. How about I help you out?"
After saying that, Xu Bo'an squatted down in front of the man and grabbed his legs with both hands. When the man saw that Xu Bo'an, this devil, had grabbed his legs again, he was instantly frightened, thinking that Xu Bo'an was going to beat him up again. He hurriedly said to Xu Bo'an, "If you... if you dare to cripple me, I will never let you go even if I die!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, under the force of Xu Bo'an, he heard his leg crack again. The man was so frightened that he instinctively screamed "Ah!"
After Xu Bo'an stood up, he said calmly to the man, "Alright, now that your leg is healed, if you really want to jump off the building, your leg won't affect you anymore. Go ahead and do it!"
The man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then looked down at his leg, and sat on the ground and moved around. He found that the leg that Xu Bo'an had broken earlier had really been set back. Only then did he get up and find that his leg had completely recovered and he could walk normally again.
Everyone present stared blankly at Xu Bo'an, stunned by his series of actions!
Especially the man who led the charge in demanding money from Xu Bo'an—he had personally experienced all of this—and at that moment, a sense of fear involuntarily arose in his heart towards Xu Bo'an.
But he still had to get the money from Xu Bo'an and the others today, so without saying a word, he walked towards the dilapidated building. Qu Feifan teased him from behind, "Take care, don't bother seeing me off!"
Just as the man had taken a few steps, a voice suddenly rang out from behind the crowd: "Mom and Dad, what are you doing here? Come home right now!"
Xu Bo'an looked at the man and saw that it was Zhu Jiewen, Su Jie's classmate whom he had met in Jiangzhou Province last time.
When Zhu Jiewen's parents saw their son coming over, they said to him, "We're here to ask for money. We're not going home until we get it!"
Zhu Jiewen was very saddened when he learned that his house, which had just been sold, was going to be demolished. He felt that he was very unlucky. However, as an intellectual who understood the law, he knew that since the house had already been sold, it had nothing to do with him. Even if these people made a huge fuss here, it would be of no use.
So Zhu Jiewen said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, we've already sold the house, and the property certificate is in their hands now. The house belongs to them. Whether the house price goes up or down has nothing to do with you anymore. Making a fuss like this is useless and a waste of your time."
Furthermore, from a legal standpoint, your actions have seriously disrupted their business. If they want to sue you, you'll face legal consequences, understand? Come home with me right now!
Zhu Jiewen has lived in this area since he was a child, and he was a good student. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him. Later, Zhu Jiewen was admitted to a doctoral program, and he became the "other people's child" that everyone in the neighborhood talked about.
The neighbors were quite inclined to believe Zhu Jiewen's words. Hearing Zhu Jiewen comfort his parents, they said to him, "Xiao Jie, you are a highly educated person. You know more about this than we do. Is what you're saying true? No matter how much we complain, it's no use."
Zhu Jiewen said, "Yes, it's wrong of you to make a scene now. If the other party calls the police, you will be the ones who are responsible!"
After hearing Zhu Jiewen's words, the group became somewhat disheartened. Realizing that they had no chance of getting their money back, they left in twos and threes.
The man who had gone to the old house to threaten Xu Bo'an and his group with jumping off the building saw that everyone had left and he was the only one left, so he couldn't cause any trouble.
He then turned around and dispersed with the crowd.
Zhu Jiewen had seen Xu Bo'an just now, but he didn't greet him. Last time they met, Zhu Jiewen mistakenly thought Xu Bo'an was Su Jie's suitor and even had a secret contest with him.
Furthermore, several of his family's old houses were bought by Xu Bo'an, and Zhu Jiewen lost a lot of money on the houses. Although this could not be entirely blamed on Xu Bo'an, for some reason, Zhu Jiewen felt uncomfortable whenever he saw Xu Bo'an.
After the crowd dispersed, Qu Feifan and his dozen or so rich kids swarmed around Xu Bo'an, looking at him with great admiration and chattering, "Brother Xu, you actually know kung fu?"
"What do you mean by knowing kung fu? Those punches and kicks are absolutely amazing! They can break that person's leg with just a slight movement of their hands. It's truly an eye-opener for me!"
"Most importantly, it can easily reattach a broken leg, which is simply amazing!"
"Could it be that Brother Xu also knows medicine?"
"So to sum it up, Brother Xu is not only good at making money, but also skilled in kung fu and medicine. He's practically an all-rounder!"
"Brother Xu, you look so cool when you fight!"
"Look at what you're saying! What do you mean by fighting? Brother Xu was just one-sidedly beating the other!"
For a while, all Xu Bo'an could hear was the chattering and flattery of this group of rich second-generation kids!
Xu Bo'an looked at the dozen or so rich kids who were looking at him with such admiration and said with a smile, "Do you guys have to make such a fuss?"
The dozen or so rich kids looked at Xu Bo'an with astonished eyes and said, "Brother Xu, it's not that we're making a fuss, it's just that your skills are so outstanding that we're completely dumbfounded and can't take it all in!"
Qu Feifan laughed and said, "Now you know why I followed Brother Xu and bought these old houses without hesitation, right? It's because I have a keen eye and saw how capable Brother Xu is! Hahaha, I really hit the jackpot!"
Then Qu Feifan looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "Brother Xu, I'm going to stick close to you from now on. You won't find me annoying, will you?"
Xu Bo'an chuckled and said to Qu Feifan, "What can I do if it's annoying? Who told you to keep calling me 'Big Brother' all day long? I can't just abandon you, can I?" Xu Bo'an's words made everyone burst into laughter.
Qu Feifan had witnessed many of Xu Bo'an's remarkable abilities. For example, he had inadvertently seen Xu Bo'an's driving skills, which were even more advanced than those of racing drivers, during a previous race. He had also seen Xu Bo'an help him beat Xu Ming in the last horse race, and he had made a lot of money by buying a house with Xu Bo'an. In addition, Xu Bo'an had easily dealt with that scoundrel just now. All these things made Qu Feifan admire Xu Bo'an even more, and he decided to stick to Xu Bo'an's coattails.
The group had just walked from the site of the old houses being demolished to the parking space, and were about to get into their car, when Xu Bo'an's phone rang. He took out his phone, saw it was his mother, Tang Rongzhi, calling, and quickly answered, saying, "Mom..."
Tang Rongzhi said on the other end of the phone, "Hey, son, are you busy?"
Xu Bo'an said, "Mom, I'm not busy. Is it alright for you to call me?"
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Tang Rongzhi on the other end of the phone said, "You brat, can't your mother have a chat with you for no reason?"
Upon hearing Tang Rongzhi's words, Xu Bo'an quickly said, "Mom, I only asked you this because I was worried something might have happened at home. What are you thinking now?"
Tang Rongzhi said, "Nothing's wrong at home. Your dad and I are both fine. It's just that the older we get, the more we miss you. We haven't called you in a while, so we just wanted to ask how you're doing!"
Hearing his mother say that everything was fine at home, Xu Bo'an felt relieved and said to his mother, Tang Rongzhi, "Oh, Mom, I'm fine too, you don't need to worry. If you ask me, you and Dad are getting old, why don't you just move to Dongjiang and live with me? That way I can take care of you two a bit!"
Tang Rongzhi said, "Your father and I are healthy and strong now, why would we need you to take care of us? We're doing just fine in our hometown. If we feel bored, we can go out and chat with other old folks or play chess. But if we, the two of us, were to move to Dongjiang, we wouldn't know a single person there. Wouldn't that drive us crazy?"
"Mom called you today because I just spoke with your aunt and she was lamenting that Jing Shu went to school in Jiangzhou, the provincial capital, two weeks ago. It's her first time away from home, and they feel a bit empty inside. Your aunt's words reminded me of you!"
Xu Bo'an chuckled and teased his mother, Tang Rongzhi, "So it was because my aunt was reminiscing with you that you remembered to call me!"
Tang Rongzhi said, "You brat, isn't it normal for parents to miss their children? Why do you need to listen to other people's complaints!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Mom, I was just teasing you. I'm relieved to know that you and Dad are both doing well. I have something to do, I'll call you later!"
Xu Bo'an said a few words to his mother and then hung up the phone. After seeing Xu Bo'an hang up, the dozen or so rich kids, including Qu Feifan, asked him, "Brother Xu, where are we going next?"
Thinking that these rich kids had been following him around for the past two days, Xu Bo'an was afraid of delaying their work, so he said to them, "I don't have anything urgent to do. I've already taken up two days of your time, so you can go and do your work!"
Qu Feifan said, "Brother Xu, I don't have anything to do. I'll keep you company these next few days!"
Qu Feifan said this because he felt that Xu Bo'an was usually not in Jiangcheng, and he didn't have the opportunity to spend time with him on weekdays. Whenever Xu Bo'an came to Jiangcheng, as long as he didn't have anything particularly important to do, he would try his best to make time to spend with Xu Bo'an. The longer they spent together, the closer their relationship would become!
It has to be said that Qu Feifan, a rich second-generation, is quite ambitious. After witnessing Xu Bo'an's prowess, he decided to follow Xu Bo'an closely, wanting to make a lot of money and expand the Qu family together.
The other dozen or so rich kids quickly chimed in, "Brother Xu, we don't have anything to do, so let's take a look around together!"
After listening to everyone's words, Xu Bo'an thought about the piece of land he owned in the suburbs of Jiangcheng that had not yet been developed and had been idle for some time. He needed to start construction as soon as possible. He figured he could take care of it all at once during this trip and then he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
Thinking that with the recommendations of these local rich kids, the process should be more efficient, Xu Bo'an said to everyone, "Okay, then everyone recommend some good construction companies for me, let's go take a look!"
Knowing that Xu Bo'an had previously been a leader in a construction company, Qu Feifan asked him, "Brother Xu, what are you doing at the construction company? Are you going to work in the construction industry again?"
Xu Bo'an laughed and said, "What are you thinking, kid? I just want to find a reliable construction company to renovate my land in the suburbs!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Feifan nodded and said to Xu Bo'an, "No problem! We'll take you there!"
After that, everyone took Xu Bo'an to check out some of the better construction companies in Jiangcheng City.
For the entire afternoon, these dozen or so rich kids accompanied Xu Bo'an to work on this matter. In the end, Xu Bo'an chose a construction company that had close ties with Qu Feifan's family. That way, if any difficulties were encountered during the later stages of construction, Qu Feifan would be there to help with communication, saving him a lot of trouble!
After signing the contract with the other party, Xu Bo'an briefly explained the construction requirements and style to them, and then sent them several pictures he had found online, asking them to build according to the style shown on the pictures!
After discussing these details with the other party, it was already quite late. In order to make it easier for Xu Bo'an to avoid running around later, Qu Feifan arranged for Xu Bo'an to stay at his own hotel after finishing these matters. After having dinner with Xu Bo'an, everyone dispersed.
Meanwhile, the Lu family in the bonsai world was still welcoming guests to pay their respects. Madam Lu, Cui Wenying, watched as the sun was about to set, but still couldn't find anything unusual among the people who came to pay their respects!
In the past two days, in order to make the fake relationship real and draw out the person behind the plot to frame Lu Zhenyuan, she tried her best to look very painful every day, with her eyes red and swollen from crying and her face looking tired.
At this moment, Cui Wenying was wondering if faking her husband Lu Zhenyuan's death would have no effect on exposing the person behind the plot to frame him. If so, what method should she use next to make the other party reveal their true colors?
Just as Cui Wenying was deep in thought, a familiar male voice suddenly rang out: "Madam Lu, since Lord Lu and Wan'er have passed away, please accept your fate and don't grieve too much, as it will not do your health any good!" (End of Chapter)
