Physician's Odyssey Chapter 511 - Resolving the Gu Family’s conflicts

When Tong Zuoqing entered a black vehicle, he leisurely took out a cigarette before he took out his phone and gave Qin Jingyu a call.

At this moment, Qin Jingyu was currently sorting through a pile of doc.u.ments, and this was actually what his daily life looked like, swarmed with work.

In the eyes of others, he's rich and powerful. But truth be told, he was just more hardworking than anyone else. While everyone else was enjoying their life, he focused his energy on his work. As a result, he practically slept for only roughly five hours every day. Then again, most successful people were energetic, since they put in unimaginable effort compared to others, and Qin Jingyu was not an exception.

"A seed has been planted, as you've requested." Tong Zuoqing suddenly became curious as he continued, "You're more cunning than I've imagined to use this method!"

"It has been tough on you. If I want it to be accomplished, then I will have to investigate my opponent well. Ni Buwei is a cunning fox, and he has both outstanding patience and scheming capability. So if I want to deal with him, then I can only start with his sister. Ni Buqing's intelligence isn't at all inferior to her brother's." Qin Jingqiu smiled.

Feeling baffled, Tong Zuoqing asked, "But why did you choose only to do it now?"

"I believe that with Imperial Uncle's connections, you can figure out the reason!" Qin Jingqiu replied.

With a laugh, Tong Zuoqing answered, "It's that ritual, right?"

"That's right!" Qin Jingyu acknowledged. "That ritual created a rift between Ni Buqing and w.a.n.g Qiaozhen, not to mention that Zhen Difei was also chased out of the private clubhouse by Ni Jingqiu. Since Ni Buqing suffered setbacks time and time again, she will definitely try and take revenge."

"This is truly a brilliant tactic to get rid of someone without dirtying your hands." Tong Zuoqing sighed.

"I can't help it. I must get that gold mine in the Freedom Province since it holds significant importance for my future plans in South Africa." Qin Jingyu smiled.

The gold mine was only a cover. After all, the Middle East and South Africa were the two most unstable regions in the world, with the highest possibility of a war taking place.

As an extremely talented businessman, Qin Jingyu would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

From the current situation, that gold mine was the best way to make a breakthrough. After all, not only would he be able to spread his power there, he could also earn a considerable sum of money in the process.

As for further details, Tong Zuoqing did not ask about them. After all, even he wasn't willing to have too much interaction with Qin Jingyu.

The two of them were allies, but their cooperation could also end at any time. If he knew too much, then it might bring him trouble instead.

The more Tong Zuoqing interacted with Qin Jingyu, the more he felt that the latter was an unfathomable person. So he might die a terrible death if he knew too much.

After all, he knew the importance of putting his own safety before everything else.

Standing by the door, Gu Rushan felt uneasy and did not press the doorbell b.u.t.ton for a long time, to which Su Tao sighed and pressed it for her.

The one that opened the door was Zhang Fen, whose face became ugly at the sight of Su Tao.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Fen then glanced at Cai Yan before looking at her own daughter with complicated feelings. Although she had no favorable opinion of Su Tao, she still tried her best to control her emotions.

"This is Rushan's house in Beijing, and she's homeless after she was chased out by you guys. So I wanted to help her when I saw her sitting below looking so helpless!" Su Tao said with a solemn tone.

"Help her? I don't think you have that qualification, right?" Zhang Fen unhappily replied with her eyebrows furrowed.

Taking a deep breath, Su Tao patiently responded, "Let me in and we'll have a talk!"

Sitting on the couch, Gu Daoshan was clearly still fuming in anger as he swept a glance over.

Su Tao did not talk but took out a paper from his medical box and started writing on it. Five minutes later, he filled the entire paper with words before he copied the whole content on another paper.

Ten minutes later, two identical contracts were placed before him. He then handed them to Gu Rushan and Zhang Fen before patiently speaking up, "Since ancient times, the easiest way to resolve a dispute is through a contract. Since there's a difference in opinion between you guys, then we can use a contract to resolve it."

"Unreasonable!" Gu Daoshan was still stubborn and insisted, "We're not discussing this. This is a decree that Rushan has to return with us!"

"Dad, I can't go back!" Gu Rushan insisted, with her eyes turning red.

Hearing her refusal, Gu Daoshan widened his eyes with rage, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Su Tao waved his hand and sighed, "Why don't the two of you take a look at the contract before making a decision?"

Since he knew that the two of them wouldn't read the contract since they're still fuming in anger, Su Tao explained, "Give Rushan half a year, and if she can buy this apartment, then both of you will agree to let Rushan remain in Beijing. But if she fails to accomplish this, then she will have to leave once the promised time is up."

This apartment was located in a pretty good district. Although it wasn't huge, it still costs about four to five million. Right now, Gu Rushan's savings were only ten to twenty thousand. Although her salary has increased from filming, it's just a few hundred thousand, not to mention that her management company would still receive a share of it. Hence, the terms were incredibly unbeneficial to her.

Hearing that, Gu Rushan looked at Su Tao, since the terms were too harsh. Wasn't this the same as stabbing herself?

But it was also under such a harsh condition that her parents might change their minds.

When Zhang Fen saw that her husband fell into silence, she moved over and whispered in his ears.

Hearing his wife's words, Gu Daoshan's brows slowly loosened up. Right now, their relations.h.i.+p with their daughter was tense, which had gone against their original intention. After all, Gu Rushan was an adult, and there's nothing they could do even if she insisted on her ways.

He knew that he was too agitated when he slapped her, and even Zhang Fen also wanted to alleviate her relations.h.i.+p with her daughter.

"Alright, I agree!" Gu Daoshan took the pen without any hesitation and signed on the two contracts.

As for Gu Rushan, she fell into hesitation for a long time. But in the end, she still gnashed her teeth and signed the contracts. She knew that it wouldn't be easy for her to fulfill it, but having half a year was better than ruining her relations.h.i.+p with her parents.

Seeing that Gu Rushan was willing to sign the contract, Su Tao handed a copy of the agreement to both parties and smiled, "Parents' love is the greatest. You guys are a family, and I believe that you guys will try to understand each other. Give each other half a year for the sake of your relations.h.i.+p, and I believe that you guys will abide by the terms. None of you are in the wrong, but you guys just love each other too much. Try and understand each other. I believe that your relations.h.i.+p will deepen."

Hearing those words, Gu Daoshan's lips moved, but he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Darling, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have slapped you!"

With her eyes turning red from the emotions, Gu Rushan also apologised, "Dad, please forgive my willfulness!"

Sitting on the side, Zhang Fen burst into tears and embraced Gu Rushan.

When Su Tao and Cai Yan exchanged a look, he saw an encouraging smile on Cai Yan's lips. Even he was a little surprised that he had taken the role of a granny in the neighborhood committee and helped a family resolve their conflicts.

Thus, Zhang Fen, Gu Daoshan, and Gu Rushan wore smiles on their faces. Their conflicts originated from their love for each other, and they needed to find a way to express it to resolve their misunderstandings.

"Uncle, I feel uneasy for some reason! Yuan Cui still hasn't returned, and I can't contact her. What should I do? It's worrying!" Du Bing suddenly, anxiously walked out of the room, holding onto his phone.

"She didn't pick up your call?" Zhang Fen comforted, "Don't worry. Yuan Cui is smart, and she won't lose her way!"

Right now, they've still not realised that Yuan Cui's disappearance was actually because she wanted to abandon all restraints and have fun.

Suddenly, Gu Rushan recalled the message she received from Su Tao and asked, "Didn't you say that my cousin's wife is eating with someone?" She started to feel curious. Since when did her cousin's wife have any friends in Beijing?

Letting out a helpless sigh, Su Tao nodded his head. "I have a way to know her current location, but you guys won't want to know the truth… especially your cousin…"

On his way back, he received some photos from Ni Jingqiu of Yuan Cui behaving intimately with Zhan Difei without any reluctance.

Since Yuan Cui could be so unrestrained in the unfamiliar Beijing, one could imagine how rotten she was back in Shanzhou Province.

When she entered the hotel, Yuan Cui felt a fire blazing in her heart as she tangled herself with Zhen Difei like an octopus.

Even Zhen Difei was surprised.

In the past, he was only interested in innocent women, but it's a different taste today. Although Yuan Cui had ordinary looks, her actions permeated with an indulging temperament.

Entering the room, Zhen Difei did not close the door since another man, who was also with them at the dinner, appeared. Looking at that man, Yuan Cui smiled. "Young Master Zhen, I never expected that you would have such a fetish to bring a spectator!"

Zhen Difei was initially worried that Yuan Cui might be unhappy with another person in the room, but he never expected that she wasn't bothered and even looked excited.

He smiled. "Judging from your looks, you don't seem to be too bothered about having a spectator."

"How can that be? I'm a virtuous woman, and I've never messed around. But I'm only doing it this time because of Young Master Zhen." Yuan Cui poked her finger at Zhen Difei's chest.

Yuan Cui was an expert at lying and didn't even blink her eyes.

After that, Zhen Difei gave a glance to that man, to which the man responded with an 'OK' gesture. The two of them had already planned amongst themselves that Zhen Difei's face wouldn't be captured in the video.

Zhen Difei's plan wasn't too complicated. Since he failed to frame Yuan Cui, which resulted in the loss of his authority in the Ni Family's private clubhouse, then he only had to prove that Yuan Cui wasn't a good person to argue that he did not previously frame Yuan Cui.

Although it's not a logically strong plan, Zhen Difei still felt that he could humiliate Ni Jingqiu through Yuan Cui to feel better.

Even before Zhen Difei could ask for it, Yuan Cui was already impatient and went for a shower.

With a sneer hanging on his lips, Zhen Difei followed along.

All of a sudden, the door was knocked.

As Zhen Difei cursed, he couldn't be bothered and ignored it.

Ten-odd minutes later, the door was barged open with Du Bing charging in with his eyes wide open and saw the couple in the bathroom.

"What are the two of you doing? You guys are too shameless!"
