Chapter 36: Winning Over Xiao Yun
Not long after, Gu Tianfeng appeared in Duan Haoran's gloomy and damp study.
"Have a seat!" Duan Haoran gestured to the sofa across from him, seemingly too lazy to even open his eyelids.
To others, Duan Haoran appeared completely indifferent, but Gu Tianfeng understood that his demeanor indicated a deep concern for a particular matter. He refused to open his eyes because he was focused on listening to what others had to say, even calculating something in his mind.
Gu Tianfeng carefully sat down opposite him.
Duan Haoran kept his eyes closed, leaning back on the sofa, and slowly spoke, "Go ahead!"
"Boss," Gu Tianfeng went straight to the point, "according to my undercover investigation, this Xiao Yun originally hails from Jade Maiden Town, Laundry Village. His mother eloped with someone less than two months after giving birth to him. After his father died, he was adopted by someone from the same village named Wang Er. He enjoys painting but doesn't stand out in any particular way. The problem is that he later came to Galaxy City..."
Duan Haoran asked, "What happened when he arrived in Galaxy City?"
Gu Tianfeng replied, "I heard that after arriving in Galaxy City, he often went to Mirror Lake Park to make a living by drawing portraits. He got to know an old beggar, but no one knows how their relationship developed. However, there is one very strange incident: one time the old man had a car accident and broke all 206 bones in his body into 412 pieces. He was lying in the hospital waiting to die, but surprisingly, he managed to get up and took Xiao Yun to a restaurant for drinks. He even brought him to jump off the seventh floor, yet neither of them was harmed at all..."
"Uh—there's such a bizarre thing?" Duan Haoran widened his eyes and stared at Gu Tianfeng. "Are you sure about what you're saying?"
"Boss, everything is true!" Gu Tianfeng affirmed.
Gu Tianfeng said, "According to what I later found out, that old man took Xiao Yun to the Pavilion in Mirror Lake Park, and then he suddenly disappeared. When others found Xiao Yun, he was lying on the ground unconscious. Later, he was discovered by Miss Qingxue, who took him to the flower shop."
Duan Haoran asked, "So you're saying that Xiao Yun didn't approach Qingxue on his own?"
Gu Tianfeng nodded and replied, "That's right."
Duan Haoran furrowed his brow in thought and said, "From what you said, before encountering that old man, Xiao Yun was just an ordinary person. It was only after spending time with the old man that he gained the ability to heal through bone painting?"
Gu Tianfeng responded, "You could say that."
Duan Haoran inquired, "Have you looked into that old man?"
"I have," Gu Tianfeng said. "The old man's real name is Nie Daoxuan. His wife passed away early, leaving behind a son named Nie Chengzi and a granddaughter named Nie Xiaoqian. It is said that Nie Daoxuan is quite eccentric; he enjoys drinking and has caused his family to fall apart. His son has divorced and is living in a Mental Hospital, while his granddaughter didn't even finish college and is working at a company. What's puzzling is that after Nie Daoxuan parted ways with Xiao Yun at Mirror Lake Park, he has not been seen again, as if he vanished from the face of the earth. No one knows where he went."
Duan Haoran had great trust in Gu Tianfeng's investigative abilities. He had originally run a private detective agency in Chinatown and had recruited Gu Tianfeng with a substantial sum of money due to his peculiar skills.
"Tianfeng, what do you think about Nie Daoxuan?" Xi Haoran asked.
Gu Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, this guy should come from an Ancient Martial Arts Sect and has already reached the innate level; otherwise, his ability to heal broken bones is not something an ordinary person can achieve. However, even if he has reached the innate level, it would be impossible for him to teach Xiao Yun how to heal through bone painting in such a short time!"
Duan Haoran sighed and said, "I heard about this Nie Daoxuan when I was younger. He was quite handsome and charming; it's hard to believe he ended up like this. By the way, Tianfeng, do you have any other information about Xiao Yun?"
"I do," Gu Tianfeng exclaimed as he slapped his forehead and laughed. "Boss, if you hadn't mentioned it, I might have forgotten! I also found out about Xiao Yun's biological mother; she lives in Galaxy City..."
After listening to Gu Tianfeng's detailed report, Duan Haoran's mind stirred, and a plan that would kill two birds with one stone formed in his head...
At this moment, besides Duan Haoran who was concerned about Xiao Yun, many others were also thinking about him. Among them, the one most eager to see Xiao Yun was Huang Siyuan.
Huang Siyuan could hardly believe that Feng Wushuang, whom he had personally sentenced to death, had actually been brought back to life by Xiao Yun. What did this mean? It was like Mars colliding with Earth!
As a renowned orthopedic expert in Huaxia, he couldn't cure her, yet a nameless junior managed to revive her. If this news got out, how long could he continue wearing the expert's hat? Would he still be able to hold onto his position as the director?
If he could bring Xiao Yun into the hospital, even as a consultant, everything would be resolved. At least it would provide a good explanation to the outside world. He could claim that Feng Wushuang's condition was a misdiagnosis and shift the blame onto someone else. The person who saved her would then be a skilled practitioner from his own hospital, leaving others with no grounds for complaint.
As for whether Xiao Yun would be willing to be a consultant at the hospital, he believed that money could move anyone. After all, hadn't this guy extorted 500,000 from him last time? It seemed he still cared quite a bit about money.
Just as Huang Siyuan was preparing to send someone to find Xiao Yun, he never expected that at this moment, Xiao Yun would take the initiative to call him...
