Inside the private room, Zhang Dayong picked up his phone, pondered for a few seconds, and dialed a number.

"Xiao Wang, go to the Criminal Investigation Department this afternoon and bring all the murder case files from the past three months within our jurisdiction to my office. I need to report to the municipal bureau tomorrow."

"Yes, including the ongoing cases."

After ending the call, Zhang Dayong put down his phone and said to Qi Yun, "I'll check it later and get back to you."

"Alright." Qi Yun took a sip of fruit beer, not saying much more.

Over half an hour later, Qi Yun and the others had almost finished their meal, and Zhang Dayong started to call for the bill.

"Shall we go?"

Qi Yun checked his watch, handed over a cigarette, and said, "No rush, let's wait a bit."

Zhang Dayong suspiciously took the cigarette and asked, "Is there something else?"

Before Qi Yun could answer, there were two knocks at the door, and Zhong Rui entered holding a briefcase, quickly walking over to Qi Yun's side.

"Boss, the contracts are all prepared. We secured the best locations and areas." Zhong Rui said as he opened the briefcase and took out two documents.

Qi Yun glanced over them and said, "Alright, you can go now."

"Okay." Zhong Rui nodded, then exited the private room.

Zhang Dayong didn't rush him, thinking Qi Yun was just handling business matters.

Once the room door closed again, Qi Yun handed over the two contracts.

"What's this?" Zhang Dayong was taken aback.

Qi Yun smiled at him, "Didn't you say you didn't have a house in the school district? I recently bought a few properties on Xuanwu Street. Have you heard of School No. 15? It's the best high school in our city and is about to relocate there."

"Consider this house rented to you. You can live there as long as you like, just pay me the rent when the time comes."

"When you have money, I'll sell it to you at a cheaper price."

Zhang Dayong looked at the contract for a large three-bedroom unit of 138 square meters. If he were to buy this now, it would cost at least one to one and a half million.

As for the rent, he understood this was Qi Yun's way of taking care of him. He knew that even if he paid, Qi Yun wouldn't take it.

After a long silence, just as he was about to decline, Qi Yun blew out a smoke ring and spoke first, "What? Don't like this one?"

"You know I'm not lacking in this regard. If you feel bad, consider it a dorm I've prepared for your nephew. That should be okay, right?"

"Alright, thank you." Zhang Dayong didn't say much more, silently putting the contract into his bag.

Qi Yun nodded in satisfaction and stood up, "Alright, you treat this meal as if you're thanking me."

"Okay, my treat." Zhang Dayong also stood up and responded cheerfully.

The two walked out of the private room side by side.

That night, Liu Meng also returned home with a real estate purchase contract.

Although he got a decent compensation last time, thanks to Qi Yun's help after a beating, his family was still living in that courtyard house.

"What's wrong? You look upset." In the courtyard, Li Cuixia, who was hanging laundry, noticed her husband looking troubled and asked, "What's that in your hand? A divorce agreement?"

Liu Meng glared at her and handed over the contract, "See for yourself."

Li Cuixia finished hanging the last piece of clothes, wiped her hands on them, and took the contract to read it.

"Oh my, you bought a house?" Li Cuixia's eyes widened as she looked up at Liu Meng, "Why didn't you discuss it with me?"

Liu Meng sighed, took a small stool, and sat down, "Old Qi gave it to me this afternoon. This house is in the school district of School No. 15."

"School No. 15!?" As a parent, Li Cuixia naturally knew the prestige of School No. 15. Its middle school department was already among the top in the city, and the high school department had become a provincial key school in recent years.

Moreover, the transition rate from middle school directly to high school was not small, so getting into School No. 15 already gave a significant advantage in terms of academic progression.

If Qi Yun hadn't often snuck out during high school to play games all night, he wouldn't have ended up only attending a junior college.

After the initial shock, Li Cuixia continued to browse the contract until she saw the transaction price of 1.4 million, and her expression turned hesitant again.

"Can we even afford this house... Last time, we gave four million to Dad, and if we spend 1.4 million on this house, we won't have much left for our daughter's university or marriage..."

Before his wife could finish, Liu Meng interrupted her with a wave, "1.4 million is the minimum transaction price due to tax system restrictions. Today when Zhong Rui took me to the transaction hall to transfer the ownership, I saw others buying houses in this neighborhood for more than 1.6 million!"

"Zhong Rui said this house was bought by old Qi a while ago for 780,000, and he's still selling it to us for 780,000."

"Huh?" Liu Cuixia wasn't too joyful on hearing this; instead, she got more conflicted, gripping the contract tightly with both hands, "We shouldn't take this house then. Last time, during Xiao Jie's issue, Brother Qi Yun helped us a lot and we haven't even thanked him yet. Now we're taking a big advantage again."

Liu Meng sighed and shook his head, "I can't argue with him, the transfer procedure is already done."

"My only thought was for our daughter to study here so she can do better in school, and that's why I finally agreed."

"But I have no face to take this benefit. Take the remaining 60,000 out from the bank tomorrow, and I'll find a chance to take it to his place directly."

Although Li Cuixia verbally blamed Liu Meng for not discussing it with her, in reality, Liu Meng made most of the major family decisions, and Li Cuixia rarely opposed him.

"Alright, I'll withdraw it tomorrow."
