Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Teacher Qin, what’s wrong with you?

Fang Bai knew that once Zhou Dabai received his call, no matter if a fierce wind blew or a torrential rain fell, he would definitely rush back as soon as possible.

Indeed, after just over ten minutes, the wooden gate of the courtyard was struck open by a worn-out bicycle, and a tall figure pushing the bike barged in hurriedly.

Upon seeing Fang Bai in the courtyard, Zhou Dabai casually threw the bicycle to the ground and came forward to fiercely hug him, shouting, "Fang Bai! How did you find this place? Damn, I’ve missed you so much!"

Fang Bai pushed him away and punched him in the chest, saying irritatedly, "You’re really something, running away without even leaving a message!"

Zhou Dabai scratched his head and chuckled, "Heh, I know your temper. If I told you that my family had gotten into huge debt with loan sharks coming after us, you would definitely stand up for us. There’s no good in those who lend money at crazy interest rates, and I didn’t want to drag you into it!"

Fang Bai said, "Remember what you once said, ’In a lifetime, we are brothers twice over.’ We’re supposed to share both happiness and hardships, together in adversity! When you’re in trouble, you should tell me! Have you forgotten that I’m a lot more capable now than before?"

Zhou Dabai said, "I know you’ve become a lot better at fighting and you’ve got some money. If it was just ten or eighty thousand that my family owed, I would have definitely asked you first, but it’s hundreds of thousands! You don’t have that kind of money either!"

"Son, it’s my fault that you and your mother have suffered!"

Zhou Houde, hearing his son mention this matter, couldn’t help but sigh again, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, looking pained.

"How do you know I don’t have it? Did you ask me? If you had alerted me earlier, would you need to hide all the way here? Look at what you’ve become now! You used to be fair and plump, but now you’ve turned a lot darker and lost weight compared to before..."

Fang Bai intended to say more, but seeing Zhou Dabai speechless and wide-eyed, his heart softened, and he swallowed the rest of his words. He patted Zhou Dabai’s shoulder and said, "Remember, if you run into something you can’t solve, you must tell me! No matter how big the problem, we’ll shoulder it together!"

Zhou Dabai’s eyes reddened, and he nodded vigorously.

Fang Bai turned around and said to Zhou Houde, "Uncle Zhou, I will pay off the debt your family owes. Call Auntie now, and once she gets back, your family should pack up and get ready to go back to Zhongzhou with me!"

"Fang Bai, we owe four or five hundred thousand! Where did you get so much money? Your family’s traditional Chinese medicine clinic hasn’t been open for long and needs money right now... Never mind, we’ll find another way to pay off the debt..."

Zhou Houde, though grateful for Fang Bai’s righteousness, didn’t believe he could come up with hundreds of thousands. Even with full support from Fang Gang and his wife, it wasn’t likely they could provide that amount.

Zhou Houde couldn’t imagine that since his family had left Zhongzhou, the business of "Fang’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic" had become increasingly booming. Describing it as making money hand over fist wouldn’t be an exaggeration; they could indeed come up with hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Nor could Zhou Houde have imagined that Fang Bai’s net worth had already exceeded ten digits; to him, hundreds of thousands of yuan were truly insignificant.

"Just wait here for a moment!"

Seeing that Zhou Houde didn’t believe he had the money, Fang Bai turned and walked out of the courtyard. After returning to the sedan, he took out five hundred thousand in cash from his Spatial Ring, put it in a plastic bag, then got out of the car, went back inside the courtyard, and handed it to Zhou Houde.

"Uncle Zhou, here’s five hundred thousand. Take this for now and go pay off the debts! Once we get to Zhongzhou, I’ll lend you more money so you can find a stable business to run!"

In Zhongzhou, Fang Bai had connections like Xia Chenyu, Ruan Hongpeng, the Su Family, and even the mayor of Zhongzhou City, Lu Xinghe. Finding some work for Zhou Houde’s family would indeed be effortless.

Looking at the money in the plastic bag, Zhou Houde finally believed it was true. He and his son Zhou Dabai looked at each other, thinking they could return to their home in Zhongzhou and no longer have to live like refugees. They were so moved, they almost cried.

"Damn, Fang Bai, you’ve made some serious windfall! From now on, I’m sticking with you, and don’t forget to give your bro a hand!"

Zhou Dabai took the plastic bag from his father’s hand and looked inside; his eyes instantly bulged round with shock.

"Sure! Once we get back to Zhongzhou, tell me whatever you need!"

"You’ve got yourself a deal!"

With the money Fang Bai had given them, Zhou Houde felt revitalized. He immediately called his wife, who was working in a nearby hotel, and asked her to come home.

Soon, Zhou Dabai’s mother, Wu Yufen, arrived. Upon seeing Fang Bai, she grabbed his hand, and a wave of sighs and lamentations was inevitable.

When she learned that Fang Bai had given them 500,000 to pay off their debts, this woman, whose hair had already turned half white, burst into tears on the spot.

After a brief exchange with Zhou Dabai’s family in the courtyard, Fang Bai’s phone suddenly rang. He looked down and saw that it was a call from Qin Yaorao.

"You’re already in Jinling? That’s great!"

Upon knowing that Fang Bai had arrived in Jinling, Qin Yaorao on the other end of the phone obviously breathed a sigh of relief, then she spoke in an almost pleading tone, "Fang Bai, I’ve run into some trouble here. If you have time, could we meet up? I prefer to discuss it in person... I didn’t want to trouble you, but after thinking it over, it seems like you’re the only one who can help with this!"

"Okay, name the place. I’ll head over right now."

Fang Bai could tell from Qin Yaorao’s tone that she was anxious, and it made him quietly curious.

This was Jinling, the Qin Family’s turf. With the Qin Family’s influence, what could Qin Yaorao possibly not handle?

Fang Bai, new to Jinling and without any local connections or networks, wondered what help he could provide for an issue that even Qin Yaorao couldn’t resolve.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that, in Qin Yaorao’s eyes, the only thing he had of value was his extraordinary medical skills. Yet, if Qin Yaorao wanted his medical assistance, she could have just said so over the phone. There was no need for all this secrecy and beating around the bush, right?

With questions in mind, Fang Bai temporarily said goodbye to Zhou Dabai and his family and drove to the coffee shop where he and Qin Yaorao had agreed to meet.

The two met at a suburban café. Qin Yaorao looked distressed, her face marred by sorrow and far from the spirited individual he had seen last time. Her complexion was clearly worse, and there were even traces of bloodshot eyes beneath her dark circles.

"Teacher Qin, you seem very haggard. What happened?"

Surprised, Fang Bai appraised Qin Yaorao, thinking that someone from a prominent clan like hers should be living a comfortable and happy life. So why did Qin Yaorao in front of him look as if she had suffered a great injustice?

Qin Yaorao forced a smile and said, "Fang Bai, I’m sorry, I didn’t want to drag you into this matter. But... but..."
