"Feilong, did they do anything to you?" Seeing his daughter blush and run off to the side, Yang Shan looked at Yang Feilong and asked.
"I'm fine, Dad!" Yang Feilong laughed, "I went to communicate with them, how could anything happen?"
Hearing Yang Feilong's words, the family was quite speechless.
"Son, you're still joking." Li Jingyun glared at her son, "Though he's not biologically his, she's always treated him as her own. Tell me, what kind of relationship did you build with them through this communication?"
"Through communication, I explained righteousness and the principles of being a human to them. This also made them deeply realize their own mistakes, and they vowed to turn over a new leaf, deciding to be new people again, and no longer engage in activities like collecting protection fees that harm society," Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"You can convince them? You're just trying to make us happy, aren't you?" Li Jingyun looked at her son speechlessly, clearly not believing his words. In her mind, her son had always been the type to report good news and hide bad news. He was clearly lying about this, perhaps to prevent them from worrying.
"Why would I lie to you? Your son's here, appealing to reason, so of course it's a success." Yang Feilong shrugged and said.
"You're so full of yourself!" Li Jingyun cursed with a smile.
"Mom, I believe my brother. My brother is a teacher, so his speaking skills must be excellent. I have ten thousand percent faith that he could persuade those people!" Yang Qingqing said with a giggle. However, in her heart, she thought that her brother might not have persuaded them with reason, but with force. She knew how capable her brother was at fighting.
"Teacher? Feilong, when did you become a teacher?" Li Jingyun was extremely surprised.
"Teacher? What teacher?" Yang Shan was also surprised.
"Hehe, you'll never guess, my brother is now a university teacher!" Yang Qingqing said excitedly.
As soon as this was said.
Yang Shan and Li Jingyun both looked incredulous, "Really? Are you a university teacher in your dreams? We'd be more inclined to believe you're a kindergarten teacher."
"Dad, Mom, why don't you believe me? My brother is really a university teacher now, and he's a teacher at Lan Hai University, not the kindergarten teacher you mentioned!" Yang Qingqing pouted, sounding displeased.
"Feilong, is it true?" Yang Shan and Li Jingyun looked at Yang Feilong with disbelief.
"Yes, I came back this time to tell you this," Yang Feilong smiled and said, "I just started teaching this month!"
"Our son has become a university teacher? And a teacher at Lan Hai University?" The couple exchanged glances. Hearing their son admit it himself, they were filled with joy and excitement. They both knew that Lan Hai University was a prestigious university, ranked among the top few in the country! To be a teacher here was truly a respectable profession!
"By the way, Feilong, what do you teach at the university?" Li Jingyun asked excitedly.
"I teach in the medical field," Yang Feilong said, "It was an exceptional admission!"
"Medicine?" Hearing this, the couple became somewhat convinced. They both knew that Yang Feilong had been studying medicine and treating illnesses with his master for a long time. Experience makes perfect, after all! It was a common occurrence! Yang Shan and his wife couldn't be happier at this moment.
"Right, son, is your illness cured?" Li Jingyun suddenly remembered something and asked Yang Feilong with concern.
"Look how strong your son is now? If I were still sick, could I be like this?" Yang Feilong shrugged and laughed, "It's cured, completely cured! You don't need to worry anymore." He didn't want his parents to worry anymore, so even though he had recovered from his 'congenital illness,' he wouldn't say anything about it. Why didn't he say anything before? Because he was on the mountain. Now that he was better, why wouldn't he come back? But now it was different. He had been driven down the mountain, and it would be difficult to go into the mountains again!
"Today is truly a day of many joys!" Li Jingyun said happily.
"That's right!" Yang Shan also felt extremely content. Yang Feilong's recovery was like a great weight lifted off the couple's shoulders! Although Yang Feilong was adopted by them, and they hadn't spent much time together since he was seven or eight years old until now, their affection for Yang Feilong was no less than that for their biological daughter. They had even thought more than once about having their daughter marry Yang Feilong, their adopted son. Because, apart from his physical weakness and chronic childhood illnesses, Yang Feilong was satisfactory in all other aspects. He was intelligent, could always make them happy from a young age, and most importantly, they knew their daughter had always liked Yang Feilong as an older brother. Especially when she was young and knew Yang Feilong wasn't her biological brother, she always clamored to marry him when she grew up. Of course, in recent years, perhaps because she had grown up, she felt too embarrassed to say it, but they could all see that their daughter's feelings for their adopted son, Yang Feilong, had deepened. However, they couldn't say anything. Whether their adopted son and biological daughter would eventually end up together would depend on the two of them.
...
The family of four was chatting in the yard. Just then, a few people arrived at the house. The person in the lead, Yang Shan had met once before and knew he was the leader of the Blood Covenant. This made his expression change, thinking they had come to cause trouble. Just as he was about to question them, the other party spoke, and what they said nearly stunned Yang Shan and his wife.
"Uncle, Auntie, my subordinates were ignorant before and offended you two elders!" Lei Tao glanced at Yang Feilong, who remained calm. With a fawning smile, he looked at Yang Shan and said, "I've brought people here to apologize!"
"Apologize?" Yang Shan asked in astonishment.
"Bring the money!" Lei Tao said with a smile. A person behind him carried a leather bag and was about to hand it to Yang Shan.
"Money?" Yang Shan raised an eyebrow. Li Jingyun also looked at the other party, wondering what they wanted to give money for. When the zipper of the leather bag was opened, the couple's eyes widened. Inside the bag were ten bundles, each likely worth ten thousand, totaling one hundred thousand yuan!
"Why are you giving us so much money?" Yang Shan's gaze deepened. "Are you trying to frame us?"
"Uncle and Auntie, you jest. How could we do such a thing! After being educated by Mr. Yang, we've had a change of heart and decided to start anew! We collected protection fees from you before, and my subordinates were ignorant and offended you elders. This is considered compensation for your emotional distress!" Lei Tao said with a flattering smile.
Yang Shan and his wife looked at their son with disbelief. Was what their son said true? He had actually convinced these people and made them turn over a new leaf? Was their son's eloquence really that great?
"Since this is their compensation for emotional distress, you should accept it!" Yang Feilong said with a smile. He knew that if he didn't give the word, his parents wouldn't accept it, as the money was quite a lot.
"But this is too much?... Alright then!" Seeing his son nod, Yang Shan didn't refuse. "Since you've decided to start anew, then behave yourselves and walk the right path from now on. There are plenty of legitimate ways to make money in this world. Don't take the crooked path, because you'll end up behind bars sooner or later!"
"Yes, Uncle, you are right!" Lei Tao and the others behind him nodded in unison.
"Alright, you can leave now!" Yang Feilong said.
"Mr. Yang, the medicine you gave us before not only healed our injuries but also brought us considerable benefits. We have some money here; consider it payment for the pills you gave us earlier," Lei Tao said, taking another leather case from a subordinate behind him and looking cautiously at Yang Feilong.
Yang Feilong looked at him deeply. Lei Tao had a fawning smile on his face, devoid of any trace of his former imposing demeanor. Yang Feilong silently sighed, truly worthy of being someone who navigated the underworld. He was adaptable and, more importantly, flexible in his thinking. The pills he had left for them were a veiled olive branch, to see if they would take it. If they didn't know how to accept it, it would mean these people were not worth investing in, as they would have little future. But now, their performance was quite good. They could accept the olive branch he extended, and they were worth using.
"Alright, I'll take it!" Yang Feilong nodded.
"Mr. Yang, could I add your contact information? If we develop in Lan Hai City in the future, we could communicate with you. What do you think?" Lei Tao's face lit up when Yang Feilong agreed to accept it, and his attitude became even more respectful.
"No problem." Yang Feilong nodded, then shared his contact information with him and also obtained Lei Tao's.
"Then, Mr. Yang, we'll leave you to it. We're going now!" Lei Tao said after exchanging contact information with Yang Feilong, and then left with his subordinates.
