Liu Zixuan is right, He Yongguang is acting too perfectly.

Who in the world can be a saint?

Even if there is one, it surely wouldn’t be He Yongguang, a businessman stinking of money.

He Yongguang, who previously was infamous for being unreasonable and liked to use dirty tricks from behind, suddenly became perfect and flawless.

That can only indicate this person has a problem.

The more perfect the facade, the more his heart is hiding something!

Liu Ruyan listened to Liu Zixuan and asked, “Then you…”

“I just feel that He Yongguang, being so eager to take over Lingxiu Village, isn’t just for the small profit. Think about it, he almost gave most of the development benefits to us, while he got nothing, there has to be a problem,”

Liu Zixuan shrugged and laughed, “Moreover, how could such a high-profile person possibly lower himself in front of me!”

“Then you just said to ask the villagers, should we agree or not!” Liu Ruyan was somewhat confused by Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously, “For now, just agree to it verbally, but we can find various reasons to delay, and observe what he truly intends to do. If it is truly as he said, then I’ll trick him and earn back our house construction money. If there’s another hidden agenda, then I should let him do me a favor first!”

“I finally understood the true meaning of a saying!” Liu Ruyan looked at Liu Zixuan with an unusual gaze.

“What?”

“When you say others are complex, it proves you aren’t simple either. You keep saying He Yongguang is full of schemes, but I think this so-called schemer will end up falling into your hands sooner or later!” Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at Liu Zixuan.

Having been together for so long, Liu Ruyan may not understand what Liu Zixuan intends to do, but every time before he tricks someone, Liu Zixuan always maintains a certain mischievous mystery.

She thought, this time He Yongguang might be in for bad luck again.

Bai Jingjing, listening in confusion, asked, “What are you all talking about?”

“Today’s weather is nice. I’m going for a walk.” Liu Zixuan shrugged then headed outside.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan went with Sister Lian to choose the vegetables.

This left Bai Jingjing in a dazed state, stomping her foot vigorously, “You all wouldn’t tell me, I’m breaking up with you! Our friendship is over!”

Nearby, Liu Ruyan, while selecting vegetables, smiled faintly, “Fine, friendship over, go on then.”

“You dare tease me.”

Bai Jingjing ran over directly and started playfully fighting with Liu Ruyan.

This made the little girl Doudou laugh heartily on the side.

Leaving the clinic, Liu Zixuan wandered around the village, feeling the warm reception of the beautiful villagers, and also enjoyed their unique affection.

In short, the afternoon was quite leisurely.

Towards evening, Jiang Yiyi called, urging for when the lingerie sales would start.

Asking whether he had made her designs that were previously done.

Liu Zixuan felt somewhat helpless. Coming back these few days has been eventful, the work was done but really little. So he had to make up a reason to get through it.

He thought, better quickly resolve the village matters, after all, he had been back for a few days, and the official and Zhu Yi’s investment funds would soon be in place.

By then, house renovations, lingerie production, building medicine fields and vacation resorts in North Mountain, will all come one after another.

As the sun set, Liu Zixuan blew on the cool breeze while sitting by the roadside.

He pondered on how to deal with the He family’s affairs.

After about an hour, the sky gradually darkened, and Liu Zixuan prepared to go back for dinner but heard a faint rustling not far away.

He frowned and wondered: It shouldn’t be right, if it were villagers from Lingxiu Village they would surely take the main road, why take the rough path on the side!

He slowly walked to the side, pushing aside some dense bushes and looked over.

On the rough trail nearby, there were ten or so burly men.

These people weren’t unfamiliar to Liu Zixuan, the local thug from Queqi Village named Brother Dog, and Scorpion who was nearly beaten up by Liu Zixuan previously.

The group was pushing several two-wheeled carts, loaded mostly with tools like shovels.

Scorpion looked at the people nearby, “Hurry up, don’t be discovered by the village residents!”

“Brother Scorpion, it’s fine, they’re all having dinner at this time.” Brother Dog laughed boldly.

“Be cautious anyway, the Patriarch has only temporarily stabilized Liu Zixuan and his group, hasn’t truly settled this issue yet. So while they haven’t reacted, we must act secretly first,” Scorpion remarked.

Brother Dog wiped his forehead sweat and asked curiously, “Brother Scorpion, what exactly is in the mountain that the Patriarch is so concerned about!”

“Don’t ask if you shouldn’t,” Scorpion glared at Brother Dog, then lowered his voice; “Honestly, I don’t know either, that day I just overheard the Patriarch mention that the stuff here is more valuable than the whole village. And think about it, how could the grand He family be interested in this battered village?”

“So, the real goal isn’t the village…”

“Shh…”

Scorpion glanced around and stopped talking, continuing walking toward the mountain.

Liu Zixuan saw all of this unfold and fell into a moment of silence.

The mountain?

Something more valuable than the whole village?

Liu Zixuan had spent months in Lingxiu Village and only knew about some bears and herbs he needed in the mountain, nothing else.

Could it be that the He family knows something that village residents don’t?

If so, it explains the earlier puzzles.

He Yongguang practically gave all the profits to Liu Zixuan and the villagers, without taking any for himself.

The fundamental reason is there’s something here worth more than the whole village.

Thinking of this, Liu Zixuan smirked and whispered privately: “Truly a painstaking effort, first letting the scoundrels from Queqi Village stir trouble, then playing scheming tricks, ultimately the goal isn’t the village, but the mountain behind the village.”

Liu Zixuan deduced the He family is searching for something extremely valuable, otherwise, they could simply ignore Lingxiu Village and directly occupy the mountain.

The effort to buy the village as well is to conceal what they truly want to do, making others think it’s merely legit investment.

Such careful concealment, to intrigue a wealthy, Ancient Martial Family like the He family, it must be something immensely valuable!

This means he must have a strategic confrontation with He Yongguang.

If there’s truly a treasure, how could he let He Yongguang take it?

Liu Zixuan grinned and happily walked toward the clinic.

Right now, all he needs is to watch and wait, receiving the benefits… everything else… let the He family do the hard work…
