That's how Guoqing's wife talks.
Thinking of this, Li Xiangdong chuckled. Since they had run into each other by sheer coincidence, he might as well settle old scores and grudges together, so that Guoqing would never repeat the same mistakes in his life.
Seeing that Li Xiangdong didn't speak but instead grinned foolishly, the old director frowned and said, "Ahem, what do you have to say?"
Seeing that Li Xiangdong's reaction upon seeing He Xiaohong was off, Zhou Hongsong quickly nudged Li Xiangdong, saying, "I'm asking you!"
Li Xiangdong's gaze gradually turned cold. He smiled and said to the old director, "Comrade, as you just saw, five of our men suffered concussions, and their arms and legs were broken. They are still lying in the hospital receiving IV fluids!"
"Hmm, uh-huh, you say—"
The old director lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and mumbled something indistinctly.
"Now you probably know why these two groups fought; it was because they couldn't agree on something. To be honest, my brothers are from Northeast China. When they say a young woman is 'wild,' it's not meant in a bad way; it's just a compliment that she's pretty."
He Xiaohong interjected, "He even looked at me with that disgusting gaze!"
"What kind of gaze was that? The way a man admires a pretty woman? Even if he couldn't control himself and glanced at you a few more times, that's no excuse for being seriously injured, is it?"
Speaking of this, the way he looked at me and the way he provoked me with his words, although it was very hurtful, if I were to tell others, they would think that the reason was too far-fetched.
Li Xiangdong is now using this kind of sophistry.
Sure enough, He Xiaohong was furious, but didn't know how to refute it.
She can't exactly say, "He harassed me with his eyes!"
Even if she could say it, people would just think she's crazy.
Li Xiangdong continued, "My brothers are from out of town, but they also deserve justice. In my opinion, the person who committed the assault should be sentenced according to the law, and should pay compensation as required."
"Comrade leader, this is not a simple fight, but involves intentional injury, isn't it?"
The old director finally stopped drinking his tea. He looked at Li Xiangdong seriously and said, "We will definitely investigate the facts and handle this impartially."
Then, he changed the subject, "However, this process might take a long time. After all, both sides share responsibility. Right now, you have five patients in the hospital, and the money is flowing out like water every day. How about we have them reimburse you now to ease your burden? How about this..."
Li Xiangdong smiled and stopped him from saying anything more, "Thank you for your kindness, but we have no financial burden. We just want justice."
The rest of his words were cut off, and the old director was also a little unhappy.
He placed the teacup on the table and said calmly, "Then let's wait for the investigation results and follow-up notices!"
After stating their position, Li Xiangdong and Zhou Hongsong politely said goodbye to the old director and went home.
At home, Zhou Hongmei was stewing chicken soup. The clay pot was bubbling and gurgling, emitting a fragrant aroma.
"Brother, Dongzi, you're back!"
Zhou Hongsong had been running around all day and was a little tired. He plopped down on a recliner under the eaves and pinched his brow.
Who went to the hospital?
"Uncle Yonggang, Uncle Yulong, and Jianjun have all gone. I'll go over after I finish making the chicken soup."
"Alright! Keep an eye on things!"
Li Xiangdong sat on the rattan chair next to Zhou Hongsong and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhou Hongmei remembered something important, "Hey, Dongzi, hurry up and go with the landlord to transfer the property title, they'll be leaving in the next day or two!"
"Yes! This is a big deal, I almost forgot!"
Li Xiangdong slapped his forehead and immediately stood up.
After finding the landlord couple, bringing their ID cards and sales contract, and making another trip to the housing management office to pay all the taxes, the property transfer was completed quickly.
Soon, the couple received the property certificate, and the transaction was considered complete with Li Xiangdong.
Holding this thin notebook, Li Xiangdong felt as if it weighed a ton; this was the first real estate investment he had ever made in his life.
In the future, he will own even more properties, scattered across the country and even the world...
Li Xiangdong's unpleasant feelings about Xu Yunfeng being beaten and seeing He Xiaohong have finally lifted with the acquisition of the property certificate.
The next day, Li Xiangdong and Zhou Hongsong went to the hospital to visit the injured patients. As soon as they entered the ward, they heard Da Niu shouting loudly.
"Brother, being beaten up like this for no reason is such a disgrace to us Northeasterners! We have to get our revenge!"
Then Xu Yunfeng scolded him in a low voice, "What are you yelling about! You want to settle scores? How are you going to do that? Do you think you're in Sheepskin Pass?"
Li Xiangdong pushed open the door, placed the fruit he was carrying on the table, and joked with a grin, "Brother Da Niu, you're recovering well! Your voice is still quite loud!"
Now Da Niu finds Li Xiangdong and Zhou Hongsong quite agreeable, feeling that it was their timely arrival that saved his life.
Otherwise, with that iron rod that came crashing down on his head like a storm, he would have been crippled if not killed!
Da Niu chuckled sheepishly, "They're all superficial wounds. I'm tough, so the recovery is going pretty well! It's just that being wrapped up in bandages all over is quite tiring!"
"Um, thank you both so much! The only way to repay this life-saving debt is with my life..."
"Stop, stop, stop—"
"Brother Da Niu, we'll forgive you even if you repay us with your life! We're scared!"
Zhou Hongsong and Li Xiangdong quickly declined, saying, "We are very grateful for your kindness, but we really cannot accept it. We politely decline!"
"Haha, I just said it without thinking!"
Da Niu was unusually a little embarrassed.
The others in the room were amused, but Xu Yunsong was still a little confused, his eyes wide open.
Seeing their younger brother like this, Xu Yunfeng and Xu Yunhai's hearts, which had just been amused by Da Niu, sank again. "Will Yun Song really not have any aftereffects?"
Li Xiangdong reassured them, "The doctor said that after a few more days of IV fluids, the blood clots will dissipate and things will return to normal."
"Oh, that's good."
"By the way, Dongzi, have you sold the ginseng we brought?"
"Oh, it's sold! I've calculated your dividends; it totaled [amount] yuan. I was worried it wouldn't be convenient for you at the hospital, so I didn't bring it over..."
Xu Yunfeng stopped Li Xiangdong, "Dongzi, that's not what I'm worried about. I'm thinking that we're both in the hospital now, and we don't know when we'll be able to go back to the Northeast to collect ginseng."
"If we wait for the police station and the court to make a ruling, it will take even longer. That would be too much of a delay to business."
Li Xiangdong shook his head, "Money isn't something you can earn in a short time. Right now, your health is the most important thing."
"As for the verdict, I estimate it will be soon."
"Oh? What do you mean!"
Zhou Hongsong and Xu Yunfeng asked in unison.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Tap tap tap..."
