Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 793 - Benevolence Flare Up

Translator: Thyaeria

As Boss Biao was lying on the ground groaning in pain, he wanted an ambulance right now the most, not police vehicles. When one of his subordinates saw what he wanted, he immediately gave a call for an ambulance, which arrived a few minutes later.

“Mr. Su, I’m sorry, but you’re involved in a civil dispute, and I will require you to cooperate with us to make a trip to the police station.” The officer was surnamed Chen, a veteran with decades of experience. He was already experienced in this sort of matter, so he could instantly judge that Boss Biao isn’t a good person.

But Boss Biao had suffered in the current situation, and strictly speaking, Su Tao had committed an assault.

If he were to go through the legal procedure, Su Tao will definitely be the one to suffer.

“It’s fine, just do whatever you have to. I will cooperate with your job.” Seeing that the officer recognised him and doesn’t seem to be making things difficult for him, Su Tao agreed.

Hearing Su Tao’s reply, the office let out a breath of relief. If Su Tao were to be nasty, then it will be troublesome for him to deal with this matter.

Su Tao is practically a treasure in Hanzhou City. He might not be an official, but anyone who pays an attention in the government system will know that Su Tao was taken care of by Zhang Ping, so he had to deal with this matter well.

Hence, Su Tao drove his own vehicle to the police station with Little Wen’s father, since this matter was related to him.

As the two of them entered the interrogation room, Officer Chen took a cup of water for the two of them. If they’re in another police station, they will definitely not have such a good treatment.

As for the interview, it was done by another officer on duty, which left after asking Su Tao about the entire situation.

After seven to eight minutes later, Officer Chen came in and smiled, “Mr. Su, you can leave now.”

Standing by the side, Little Wen’s father was dumbfounded as he still had no idea what was going on.

Boss Biao might be the one causing trouble, but Su Tao had committed an assault.

“Has the matter been investigated?” Su Tao smiled.

Nodding his head, Officer Chen replied, “Boss Biao is someone with a criminal record, and someone had also reported him recently for illegal debt collecting activity. He’s currently in the hospital under police surveillance. Once he has healed up, he will be transferred to the prison.”

“I feel that you guys should continue with your investigation. He’s just a hired thug, and those loan sharks are the mastermind.” Su Tao shook his head.

With an awkward smile, Officer Chen had beads of sweat gathering on his nose. It’s good enough that you’re not held with any responsibility for this matter, but you still want to blow up this matter?

Despite the thoughts in his heart, Officer Chen still went along on his lips, “Please be reassured. We will definitely investigate this matter well.”

Su Tao knew that this matter is complicated, and this is as far as he could do.

Sending Little Wen’s father back to the shop, Su Tao comforted with a smile seeing the former’s brows tightly knitted, “As the saying goes, the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks. I believe that the business will be good when your shop is officially open for business.”

“I was too foolish to sign a three years contract with the landlord and practically gave him all our savings. When I tried to contact him previously, no one picked up the phone. Right now, I’m worried that this investment might go down the drain.” Little Wen’s father smiled bitterly.

Little Wen’s family circumstances weren\'t good, and they’ve been living a frugal life in order to accumulate some savings. So now that they’re facing this difficulty, it’s undoubtedly a disastrous blow to them.

“You don’t have to be too worried. As the saying goes, when God closes a door, he opens a window. The officer from before has promised that he will continue his investigation, and I believe that this matter will definitely be resolved.” At this moment, Su Tao could only comfort Little Wen’s father.

Seeing Little Wen’s father entering the shop, Su Tao noticed that Little Wen and her mother’s complexion wasn’t great as he sighed inwardly. He did not stay for long as he chose to leave. Entering his vehicle, he looked at the family of three through the window discussing something as they seemed to be discussing what to do next.

Taking out his phone, Su Tao gave a call to Xia Yu and summarised the incident to him.

“This matter isn’t simple, and it’s not difficult either. We mainly have to deal with those people giving out loans not to harass Little Wen’s family.” Xia Yu replied after a brief pondering.

“Do you have any good ideas?” Su Tao sighed.

“Leave this matter to me!” Xia Yu smiled as he went on, “I’m familiar with all the underground bosses in Hanzhou City. I believe that I can easily find the person giving out the loan, and they should give me some face.”

“It’s best to find the landlord and see if he’s willing to sell this shop. I’m willing to purchase this shop at a high price.” Su Tao spoke out after a brief pondering.

Xia Yu was somewhat surprised as he replied, “This is a remote location, and it will definitely be a loss for you to buy it at a high price!”

“If I don’t spend the money I earn, they will remain to be simply numbers. Most importantly, they have to be used wisely, and since it can be used to protect something beautiful, then it’s definitely worth it.” Su Tao smiled.

Xia Yu knew that Su Tao’s benevolence had flared up again. Being together with Su Tao for so long, he had long seen through Su Tao’s double personality. When facing his enemy, Su Tao could be as ruthless as a devil, but whenever he’s before his friend, he would be like an angel.

“Get this matter done quickly.” Su Tao sighed as he instructed. If this matter carries on any longer, Little Wen’s family will definitely not have any peace.

At 7 a.m. the next day, Little Wen saw a weird man with sunglasses leaning beside a car, waving his hand in her direction when she left her home. Instantly, she was terrified as she quickened her pace with her head lowered.

After Little Wen disappeared, Xia Yu spat out the chewing gum in his mouth as he muttered, “I seem to have scared her. Am I really that frightening?”

Knocking on the door, a skinny middle-aged man with a pale face came down the vehicle, cowering.

“Let’s go and sign the contract.” Xia Yu shoved the middle-aged man, which nearly caused the man to fall on his face.

Xia Yu did not have any good impression of this fellow. Not only is this fellow a gambling addict, but he’s also a drug addict. After he divorced with his wife, he occupied the house that the two of them shared. Now that he’s debt ridden, he practically sold everything he could and was only left with this shop.

But even so, he put it up for collateral a few days ago to the loan shark. Furthermore, he even lost all the rental money paid by Little Wen’s father on the gambling table.

Bringing the landlord to knock on the door of Little Wen’s family, Little Wen’s mother opened the door as she stared at the two people cautiously through the security door, “What’s the matter?”

She’s currently feeling complicated as they’ve been looking for the landlord, but the landlord seemed as if he had disappeared.

However, Xia Yu didn’t seem to be a kind person, so Little Wen’s mother was worried that Xia Yu might be in cahoots with those people from yesterday.

Removing his sunglasses, Xia Yu shares some resemblance to the movie actor, Zhang Hanyu, ever since he had grown some stubble.

“Hello, don’t be afraid, I was sent over by Su Tao to sign a new contract with you guys.”

“Su Tao? Physician Su?” Little Wen’s mother instantly relaxed when she heard Su Tao’s name.

“That’s right. After knowing what happened yesterday, he found me for help. Hence, I’ve gotten someone to find the landlord that signed the contract with you guys last night. Because of some special circumstances, the contract needs to be resigned.” Xia Yu tried to explain with an amicable voice.

“Oh, please, come in!” Little Wen’s mother instantly grew some confidence upon seeing her husband coming over.

Furthermore, Xia Yu no longer looks so ferocious after removing his sunglasses.

They’ve already made the worst decision. Worst comes to worst, they can give up on this shop, but they have to get back the three years rental money from the landlord.

Although they spent ¥30,000-40,000 to renovate this place, they will definitely lose the money if they give up on the shop. But it’s nothing compared to three years worth of rent.

Worst comes to worst, they can give up on the renovation fees to minimize their loss now that there’s a dispute over this shop.

Entering the apartment in the shop, this isn’t especially large, and it’s just an ordinary apartment with two bedrooms and a living room. It can barely fit a family of three, but it was well cleaned. The things are all nearly arranged with a few plants in the corner. The wall behind the couch was decorated with Little Wen’s awards that she obtained from school.

“Please take a look at the contract!” Xia Yu explained patiently, “This is a tripartite agreement. Firstly, your previous contract with the landlord will be invalid. Secondly, your new landlord will be Su Tao. Lastly, your rental period will be extended to five years without any change to your rent.”

“Ah?” Little Wen’s mother’s mouth was left wide open.

“You mean that Physician Su resolved the issue for us and bought this shop from the landlord?” Little Wen’s father was the first to recover from the shock.

Nodding his head with a smile, Xia Yu replied, “According to Su Tao, you guys will be given priority to purchase this shop. When you guys have saved enough money, he’s willing to sell this shop to you at the price he purchased from the previous landlord. Putting it in a nutshell, it’s practically the same as him loaning the money to you guys to purchase this shop. However, you guys have to gather enough money in five years.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much!” Little Wen’s father replied emotionally.

“If you want to thank, you have to thank the philanthropist, Su Tao.” Xia Yu smiled.

There aren’t many people in the world who are so benevolent, but Little Wen’s family was fortunate to encounter Su Tao.

Then again, Xia Yu was filled with praises for Su Tao in his heart. After all, not everyone could do what he did.

There are many entrepreneurs shouting that they will give back to the society, but in reality, many of them are merely a formality.

As for Su Tao, he will do his best to help everyone as long as it’s something that can be done by him.

Furthermore, Su Tao’s assistance wasn’t just as simple as giving money. Rather than giving someone fish, it’s better to teach them how to fish. Giving Little Wen’s family a platform to pursue happiness is more meaningful than giving them money.
