Pinghu Village, the village chief’s home.

After hanging up the phone, He Mingde thought for a moment and asked his grandson to call him grandma.

After a while, Liu Yumei, dressed in rich clothes, came in with her grandson.

"Old man, what do you want from me?"

He Mingde took out his pipe, took a puff and said, "Don't have any more contact with Du Yueyi."

Upon hearing this again, Liu Yumei showed an indifferent expression.

"How many times have you said this? Why can't I associate with Yueyi? We haven't done anything shameful!"

"Do you need me to tell you that you accepted so many gifts from her?" Seeing that she still did not repent, He Mingde frowned even deeper.

"She and I are friends, besties. What's wrong with me accepting something she gave me?" Liu Yumei defended.

He Mingde took another deep puff of his cigarette. "I don't want to debate this with you. You know exactly what happened. I'm not warning you this time, but informing you not to get involved with her again, unless you want your son and daughter to be implicated."

"What do you mean? What does this have to do with Xiaowei and the others? You want to scare me?" Liu Yumei asked suspiciously.

"Do I have to scare you like this? If you still want to be the village chief's wife comfortably, you'd better behave yourself recently. The Ji family may not be able to thrive for much longer." He Mingde tapped the pipe in his hand.

It was the first time Liu Yumei heard her husband say such a thing. She was skeptical and asked, "Do you know something?"

He Mingde did not answer, he was not sure, but judging by the way Du Yueyi and his wife behaved, there might be retribution.

After the cemetery was confirmed to be built in Qingxi Town, several families who had been disagreeing with the demolition finally gave in.

Construction of the cemetery began soon, and by the time the developer received the news, the construction team had already started.

"Mayor, you promised us that you would build the cemetery outside Qingxi Town. Isn't it bad to go back on your word like this?"

As the representative of the developer, Lu Yunsheng quickly found the mayor's house and expressed their group's dissatisfaction.

"It's fine that the voting meeting was canceled, but you promised us the day before yesterday that you would delay the construction. How come construction has already started at the cemetery before even a day has passed?"

The mayor also looked embarrassed and explained, "It's not that I went back on my word, it's that they moved too fast. The project and funds were all provided by someone, and the mayor's people were watching, so I couldn't stop them."

Lu Yunsheng frowned: "How could Qingxi Town be related to the mayor? Have you checked it out?"

The mayor said vaguely: "Not yet. The order was issued directly. No one knows why the mayor was alarmed."

Lu Yunsheng cursed inwardly, but it was not easy to fall out with the mayor. They had already invested a lot of money, and they definitely couldn't withdraw at this time.

"Okay, then I'll trouble the mayor to investigate further. We need to know the purpose of the person behind the scenes to prevent any accidents from happening at the tourist resort."

"Okay, I'll have someone continue to inquire about this matter."

After leaving the mayor's house, Lu Yunsheng returned to the car, took out his cell phone, found someone's number and called it. The phone rang four or five times before it was picked up.

He explained the situation in Qingxi Town in detail, and finally asked whether there would be any impact.

The person on the other side thought for a while before speaking: "I'm not sure about this matter. The other party has a strong background. We can only take it one step at a time."

"Okay, that's all for now."

-

The cemetery cannot be completed in a short time. Even if we hire the best construction team and increase manpower and material resources, it will take at least half a month.

Yuan Shenghe stayed for five days, but had to go back because the company had a lot of things that required him to understand personally.

Most of Ji Yu's company matters were handled by Jiang Bo, and he was not required to show up, so he decided to stay in Qingxi Town and wait for the follow-up matters of demolition and grave relocation, otherwise he would have to make another trip.

"I asked the driver to stay so that he can take care of me if anything happens." Yuan Shenghe was worried about him being here alone.

"There's nothing else to do here, I can do it by myself, so let Master Zhao drive you back." Ji Yu shook his head and said.

"You need a car, and I'm worried."

Ji Yu drew inferences from his experience, "Then I'm worried about you driving back alone."

Yuan Shenghe smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I won't be able to drive back. I've already asked someone to pick me up."

Ji Yu thought that since he said he would not drive back, someone else would drive to pick him up, but who knew that what came was a helicopter.

Having known Yuan Shenghe for so long, he had never seen him like the domineering CEOs on TV, accompanied by countless vehicles and bodyguards when traveling, let alone driving a helicopter.

It was not until today that he clearly realized that it was not that he had never done it, but that he seldom did it.

The arrival of the helicopter also attracted the attention of some people in the town, but no one knew why it came.

After Yuan Shenghe left on the helicopter, Ji Yu walked back to the hotel and heard many villagers in the town discussing what they had seen of the helicopter.

At the same time, a message was suddenly sent to Gu Wenzhe's mobile phone.

【The person left.】

It is a cloudy day today and the sky outside is gloomy.

The lights in the office were not on and the light was a little dim.

Gu Wen Ze sat quietly in the chair, the blue light from the computer screen in front of him reflected on his face, making it look a little pale.

He picked up his phone, took a look at it, replied to the message, and then deleted it.

There was a knock on the office door soon, and after getting permission, the secretary walked in.

"Mr. Gu, people from Goldman Sachs are here."

"Got it. Invite them to the conference room. I'll be there now." Gu Wen Ze stood up, straightened his suit jacket, and looked gloomy.

After receiving the answer, the secretary left immediately, not daring to stay alone with him in the same space.

In the past half month, Mr. Gu's temperament has become more and more strange. He often loses his temper for no reason and many people in the company have been scolded by him.

Gu Wen Ze was just about to leave the office when his cell phone rang again. He thought it was from the person who had just called, but when he looked at the screen it was from Mo Rusheng.

He hesitated for two seconds before clicking on the message.

Shengsheng: Wenze, um...our director asked me again today, have you got the funds turned around?

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Wen Ze's face. Half a month ago, he promised that he would turn around soon.

But when his plan to short Shinco shares failed, all his plans came to naught.

Previously, in order to borrow stocks, he used the company's stocks as collateral. Now that the loan is about to expire, he still needs to repay a large amount of stocks. The representative of Goldman Sachs Financial came to discuss this matter.

This incident was a complete failure for him, but it didn't matter, he still had one more chance.

Gu Wen Ze clenched his phone tightly, his eyes grim. He didn't want to do that in the first place, but they forced him to do that.

Without replying Mo Rusheng immediately, he put away his phone and went to the meeting room.
