"Fei Ge, why are you here?"
Du Dabao, who was leading his men on patrol, saw Du Fei and immediately instructed his subordinates before running towards him.
Du Fei smiled and said, "I'm accompanying Shishi to the development zone for some business and decided to drop by the factory. How have your martial arts been lately?"
Upon hearing Du Fei inquire about his martial arts, Du Dabao excitedly replied, "Fei Ge, I used to think all that kung fu on TV was fake. But ever since you taught me, after half a month of practice, I've found my strength has doubled, and my movements are much more agile. Now, besides eating, sleeping, and patrolling, I practice every day."
Half a month ago, Du Fei had approached Du Dabao, stating that he intended to teach him some martial arts to enhance the security team's strength.
Initially, Du Dabao assumed Du Fei would teach him some combat techniques, similar to Sanda or Taekwondo.
To his surprise, what Du Fei taught him was a martial art called Hunyuan Qigong.
Hearing a name similar to those in television dramas, Du Dabao thought Du Fei might have been deceived.
When he practiced for two days with the intention of just appeasing Du Fei, he was astonished to discover that the martial art Du Fei was teaching him was real.
From then on, Du Dabao knew Du Fei was grooming him. To live up to his trust, Du Dabao dedicated himself to martial arts day and night.
"Yes, I know you're working very hard, but remember to balance work and rest. By the way, how has your grandfather's health been recently?"
Du Fei had asked casually. Du Dabao had changed significantly, and Du Fei trusted him greatly, which is why he had imparted Hunyuan Qigong to him.
Speaking of Hunyuan Qigong, as long as Du Dabao practiced diligently, he would become quite formidable upon completion.
Forget about street punks and thugs; even world-class Sanda champions or special forces soldiers would be no match for him.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Liu Shishi called Du Fei.
Du Fei then patted Du Dabao's shoulder, telling him to keep up the good work and that he would not be short-changed.
"Alright, wait for me there. I'll be right over."
After confirming Liu Shishi's location, Du Fei drove towards her.
Creak.
Du Fei switched on his right turn signal and slowly pulled the car over to the side.
"How did you finish so quickly?"
As Liu Shishi got into the car, Du Fei looked puzzled.
Liu Shishi glanced at him and said, "It's all thanks to your good deeds."
Taken aback by Liu Shishi's words, Du Fei was momentarily stunned. What did this have to do with him?
Seeing Du Fei's confusion, Liu Shishi smiled and explained, "When I went to the development zone for business just now, I ran into Zhang Zhitao, the one we looked for before. When that guy heard I was there for business, he immediately and enthusiastically offered to take me. With him leading the way, there was no need to queue anywhere, which is why I finished all the procedures so quickly."
Ah, so it was that fellow Zhang Zhitao.
Speaking of Zhang Zhitao, ever since Du Fei had accurately predicted he had cancer and subsequently cured him, his attitude towards Du Fei had been one of utmost deference.
And today, upon encountering Liu Shishi needing to conduct business, he proactively accompanied her and saved her so much time.
Du Fei understood Zhang Zhitao's motivations very well.
People like Zhang Zhitao were extremely fearful of death.
Once he learned that Du Fei was a highly skilled physician, he immediately harbored a desire to befriend him.
Although there had been some unpleasantness between them before.
However, the reason individuals like Zhang Zhitao could thrive in their careers was their ability to be open-minded and put aside their pride.
He knew that if he approached Du Fei directly, Du Fei would likely ignore him. Therefore, whenever there was an opportunity to be helpful, he spared no effort.
If he worked so diligently to assist Du Fei, and if Du Fei were to encounter any health issues in the future, wouldn't he be obligated to help?
In reality, Zhang Zhitao had misjudged one thing.
That is, even if he didn't try to curry favor with Du Fei, with Du Fei's benevolence and the heart of a healer, he would still dedicate himself to treating anyone in need, including Zhang Zhitao.
"By the way, is everything alright at the factory?"
As the car drove back, Liu Shishi casually inquired about the factory.
"Everything is normal at the factory, and the progress has exceeded our expectations. I estimate that in another two to three months, the main structure should be largely completed," Du Fei replied.
Liu Shishi nodded.
At this stage, there were two most crucial matters: first, to fully transform Du Fei's prescriptions into products, and second, to put the factory into operation as soon as possible, thereby firmly controlling the quality of the products and the prescriptions.
However, Liu Shishi was also well aware that haste makes waste.
Therefore, despite her eagerness for the company to start production quickly, she proceeded one step at a time.
Only by doing so could she lay a solid foundation for a smoother path ahead.
The car drove back towards the center of Rongcheng. Du Fei planned to drop Liu Shishi off at Sunshine International Building first and then return to the Chinese medicine clinic himself.
Ring, ring.
Ring, ring.
Suddenly, Liu Shishi's phone rang.
"Hello."
Liu Shishi picked up the phone.
"Tingting?"
"What? Tingting, don't rush. Tell me what's happening slowly."
"Someone is following you? Then go to the nearest airport security office immediately and wait for me. I'll be there soon."
Du Fei, who was driving, was taken aback.
Tingting?
Liu Yingting?
Why would she suddenly call Liu Shishi?
And Liu Shishi told her to wait for her at the airport. Had she returned to Rongcheng again?
"Du Fei, turn around immediately and head to the international airport!"
After hanging up, Liu Shishi urgently said to Du Fei.
Du Fei nodded and, at the next intersection, turned onto the highway leading to the airport.
"What's wrong, Shishi? Was the person on the phone your cousin?"
Once the car was on the highway, Du Fei finally asked.
Liu Shishi nodded and said, "Tingting's tone was very flustered on the phone just now. She said she was at the international airport and seemed to be followed by someone. She was very scared!"
"She just returned abroad, why is she back so soon? And someone is following her?"
Du Fei found it somewhat strange.
Liu Shishi couldn't answer Du Fei's questions.
Because just now, Liu Yingting's emotional state on the phone was a bit off. Her voice was very agitated when she spoke, and she kept repeating that someone was following her and she was very scared.
Therefore, all the answers could only be found once they reached the airport and met Liu Yingting in person.
The car sped on, and Liu Shishi's heart grew restless due to Liu Yingting's phone call.
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at Rongcheng International Airport.
Liu Shishi had initially intended to have Du Fei drop her off at the airport entrance so she could find Liu Yingting herself.
However, Du Fei recalled Liu Yingting mentioning on the phone that she seemed to be followed. Thus, he asked Liu Shishi to park the car with him before they went to look for her.
Otherwise, if they got separated or something unexpected happened, it would be troublesome.
Liu Shishi felt that Du Fei's reasoning was sound, and they had already arrived at Rongcheng International Airport. There was no need to rush these few minutes.
So, they parked the car in the airport's parking lot, then asked someone for the location of the airport's security office, and dashed towards it.
