City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1516 - 1515: Advancing by Retreating

After Ye Qiu and Li Qianqian finished their lunch, Ye Qiu was preparing to return to class when he saw a call from Ling Fei.

"Ling Fei, how is it?"

"My dad said that the neighbors are willing to talk."

"Then this afternoon, I’ll come find you after class."

Ye Qiu knew that he wasn’t in a hurry now; it was Ling Zhengwei and the neighbors who were anxious. So, Ye Qiu planned to go after class.

When Ye Qiu returned to the classroom, there were still two sessions of clinical medicine theory classes in the afternoon.

After finishing the class, it was only a little past three in the afternoon.

Ye Qiu left the classroom, drove to the entrance of the Teachers’ College, and called Ling Fei, who was waiting for him.

As Ling Fei came out of the Teachers’ College and got into Ye Qiu’s car, she asked, "Ye Qiu, didn’t you say there’s a problem there? Why are you still talking to them?"

"To scare them." Ye Qiu said.

"Really?"

"For people like this, you need special methods, otherwise, your dad will always be bullied by them." Ye Qiu drove toward the basketball court in the urban village.

At the basketball court, Ye Qiu parked the car and, after getting out with Ling Fei, headed toward the villa.

Upon reaching the villa, Ling Zhengwei hadn’t arrived yet. After Ling Fei called her dad, he hurried over in about twenty minutes.

"Ye Qiu, didn’t you say those houses have Feng Shui issues?" Ling Zhengwei asked.

"Uncle Ling, didn’t you feel anything before?"

"Not really before, but maybe because Ling Fei’s grandparents passed early and my marriage with Zhou Xiaolan was never happy, we divorced early, maybe it’s related to those houses."

"Uncle Ling, what you said has some relation, but if you spend money on commercial housing, it might not be great, and living there wouldn’t be comfortable. However, if you buy and tear down the surrounding neighbors’ old houses to build a big villa, it’ll be much nicer to live in later."

"Haven’t there been ghost incidents these days?" Ling Zhengwei asked.

He was already psychologically affected.

"Uncle Ling, you don’t have to worry about that. I deliberately hired people to scare them. Of course, when you see those people later, don’t show it. Act like you don’t want those houses either. It’s best to bring a notary, like your village chief, over for tea to witness."

"Got it."

When Ling Zhengwei called the surrounding neighbors and the village chief, ten minutes later, the usual group rushed over.

When they saw Ye Qiu there, he seemed a lot different compared to before.

Ye Qiu also noticed a middle-aged man, likely the village chief of this urban village, also named Ling.

"Chief, this is my daughter’s friend." Ling Zhengwei introduced to the village chief.

"I heard you drive a Land Rover, nice." Chief Ling said.

"The reason I called everyone is to let the chief witness. Originally, I saw the old house was too uncomfortable to live in. My daughter’s friend wanted to pay to build a new house, but the neighbors objected, saying it disturbed them. In this situation, I’m announcing that I’m stopping demolition and construction of the new house. Besides, I won’t build it here anymore. I’m planning to buy an apartment in a nearby upscale community." Ling Zhengwei said directly.

This was surprising not only to the chief but also to the neighbors around.

They thought Ling Zhengwei called them to discuss buying their old houses, but now it seemed he didn’t want them. It seemed he didn’t even want his own old houses.

"My daughter’s friend has the money. It’s much better to spend a few million to buy an apartment." Ling Zhengwei said.

"What Uncle Ling said makes sense. Urban villages are always dirty and chaotic, and neighbors are not harmonious. It’s always troublesome. It’s better to live in upscale neighborhoods with fewer issues."

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, the neighbors looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"My parents left early, I don’t have any close siblings, and I’m divorced from my ex-wife. So, I feel it’s the house’s Feng Shui. I’m now asking if any neighboring neighbors are interested in the two-story building and land, I want to sell it and use the money for retirement."

Now that Ling Zhengwei didn’t want other neighbors’ old houses and wanted to sell his own, the neighbors were even more shocked.

"Uncle Ling Liu, you have a big family. How about a hundred thousand for it?"

Ling Zhengwei looked at the man known as Old Liu Ling and said.

Old Liu Ling and his wife hurriedly replied, "We don’t have that kind of money, and we don’t want to buy it."

Then, Ling Zhengwei turned to Old Jiu Ling and asked: "Uncle Jiu Ling, what do you guys think?"

These people have been tortured so much recently that they wouldn’t dare want it.

Seeing them all silent, Ling Zhengwei turned to the village chief and asked, "Chief, can you help me find someone interested and help me sell it?"

Because it’s in an urban village, only locals can buy it, after all, without a property certificate, outsiders can’t safely purchase.

However, Chief Ling also heard about the ghost happenings in those few families recently, and now with Ling Zhengwei wanting to sell his old house to buy a new apartment, he found it strange.

Before, the area where Ling Zhengwei lived was mainly mountainous. It was common for many people to be buried there before, but as Jiangnan developed and the population increased, every bit of land was used for building, so Feng Shui issues are quite normal.

"Have you heard of the abandoned building projects in the suburbs?" Ye Qiu asked.

The abandoned building projects Ye Qiu referred to were auctioned by the Su Family, and hearing this, all the people in Jinling had heard about it.

Since two companies had accidents and construction workers and security had disappeared, though it wasn’t on the news, everyone knew about it.

Now it’s long been stalled, and no one dares to approach that area.

"Ye Qiu, what about those abandoned projects?" Ling Zhengwei asked.

"Actually, Uncle Ling, this place is similar to over there. I’ve seen it."

"Really?" Ling Zhengwei couldn’t believe it.

The other neighbors’ faces changed upon hearing this.

Ye Qiu called to have the female waiters bring afternoon tea. While drinking tea, they chatted about the strange happenings in Jinling. But, aside from Ye Qiu and Ling Fei, the others didn’t have much appetite, since they all lived around there.

Around five in the afternoon, after afternoon tea, Ye Qiu looked at Chief Ling and said: "Chief, that’s it. Uncle Ling’s old house won’t be demolished anymore. Let’s see if there are any suitable buyers, even at a low price. Anyway, I’m not short of money, and I’ll take care of Uncle Ling."

When the female waiter came to settle the bill, and Ye Qiu and Ling Fei were leaving, those people looked enviously at Ling Zhengwei, thinking he actually had a daughter who found such a wealthy boyfriend.
