However, Qian Feng’s intuition told him that the person before him must be no ordinary individual.
“Xiaocui, what are you standing there for?
Go and pour some tea for the guest immediately!” After explaining to Chen Hai, Qian Feng turned to his wife Xiaocui and ordered her.
“Uncle Qian, there’s no need for such courtesy.
My last name is Chen; I was a student at Wuyang Town Middle School, and I just graduated this year.
I was in a different class but the same cohort as your son Qian Bing!”
Finding a spot to sit near Mr.
and Mrs.
Qian, Chen Hai explained with a smile.
His explanation, however, seemed to make Qian Feng’s expression turn sour.
Wuyang Town Middle School was just an ordinary rural middle school.
How strong could the background of its students be to make a vice-mayor like him cautious?
His face, which had been smiling, suddenly grew stern.
Xiaocui, who had just stood up to pour tea for Chen Hai, was stopped by a stern look from her husband and she quickly sat back down on the sofa.
Chen Hai, of course, noticed this scene.
His demeanor serene, he smiled slightly and continued: “Previously, I had a minor conflict with Qian Bing.”
“Because of this matter, you even went out of your way to bring Hou Donggui to meet me, to mediate and make peace.”
“I wonder if you still remember this, Uncle Qian?”
Without haste, he smiled inscrutably and began to speak slowly.
If we’re to speak the truth, coming to see Qian Feng was a decision he made after careful consideration.
The issues between him and Qian Bing were, after all, trivial in the grand scheme of things.
After the incident was so long past and aside from Hou Donggui stepping in to mediate, Qian Feng did not seek out Chen Hai again and Qian Bing had transferred to a school in the county like a good student.
Looking at the situation, it was certain that Qian Feng knew something.
He must be somewhat awed by Chen Hai, a person with achieved Tao Cultivation and control over spells!
With this premise, there was a foundation for cooperation between Chen Hai and him.
“You had a conflict with my son Xiaobing?
I had Hou Donggui find you?
Are you…” Qian Feng was startled, but in an instant, he reacted.
“Xiaocui, I have…
no, I should address him as Master Chen, we have some matters to discuss.”
“Didn’t you arrange to go out to play mahjong with someone?”
With a complex expression, Qian Feng’s face changed several times as he directly spoke and called out to his wife Xiaocui.
After Chen Hai’s reminder, he had already identified Chen Hai’s identity.
In his view, since Chen Hai had taken the initiative to visit him, it must be for some serious business, not just to make idle chatter and be sociable.
Regardless of why Chen Hai had sought him out, having too many people around during a discussion just wasn’t ideal.
Sending Xiaocui away for a while was just human nature.
“Right, right, right!
I did make plans to play mahjong with Aunt Zhang and Sister Liu!”
“You two talk first.
I need to hurry over; otherwise, they’ll say I broke my promise!”
Xiaocui, quickly grasping the situation, picked up her purse, greeted Chen Hai and Qian Feng, then sashayed out.
When she reached the door of their house, Xiaocui pulled it shut before leaving with composure.
“Master Chen, may I inquire about the purpose of your visit?
It surely isn’t about that good-for-nothing son of mine offending you again, is it?”
He took out a cigarette, offered one to Chen Hai, and probed cautiously.
“I went to Capital City to attend university.
Since Qian Bing transferred, I have not seen him and definitely have had no conflicts.
You can be assured of that, Uncle Qian!”
“To speak truthfully, getting to university was quite the ordeal for me!”
“You must be aware of some inside information, Uncle Qian, regarding Liu Dagui’s son Liu Jian getting into Capital Political and Legal University.”
“The Liu Family thought they could push me around, and their university spot was taken from me!”
“The Liu Family has done many bad deeds, and naturally, retribution has come knocking.
I was just lucky that the entrance spot to Capital Political and Legal University eventually found its way back to its rightful owner–into my hands…”
He laughed and began to speak.
Some matters didn’t need to be stated explicitly; a simple hint was enough for Qian Feng to think deeply about them.
After all, from Hou Donggui, he already knew that Chen Hai before him likely possessed some unknown mystical methods.
Upon hearing this, his respect for Chen Hai grew even more.
He even rose personally to brew a cup of hot tea for Chen Hai and handed it to him.
“Uncle Qian, to be frank, my visit this time is to bring you meritorious achievements!”
“A murder case of extreme severity, with a clear cause and effect, whether the mastermind or the accomplice, as well as the location of the weapon used, I know it all clearly.”
“With the information I provide you, if you take the lead and personally oversee the case, you will surely handle it neatly and add a significant feather to your cap of accomplishments.”
“Moreover, as I know it, since Liu Dagui’s incident, his position has remained vacant.”
“Although I don’t have many connections in the county, I do have some insights into Feng Shui and metaphysics.”
“At this juncture, if the murder case you oversee is managed neatly and you gain that merit, coupled with my Fengshui Technique, I can help improve your luck.”
