Old Liang's words made the two bosses who had come to show concern for him feel a chill run down their spines.

No way...right?

Their cell phones rang in perfect unison.

The two looked at each other and nervously answered the call.

"boom!"

One person's mobile phone landed directly on the ground.

The other person felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.

Old Liang understood perfectly well what he was seeing.

He slapped himself hard.

"Stupid, so stupid!"

After saying that, he stumbled away.

in the car.

Lin Jingyu gazed at the buildings receding outside the car window and asked in a low voice, "Will a lot of people commit suicide this time?"

Su Chen said "hmm".

"Sometimes it's quite poignant."

"Actually, they don't seem to have done anything wrong, they just happened to be in the wrong place at the right time."

Lin Jingyu turned to look at him: "Just like those laid-off workers."

Su Chen asked, "Are there a lot of suicides in Cuicheng lately?"

Lin Jingyu nodded: "It's several times more than before."

"We've actually tried our best to arrange for people to do psychological support, and many people are receptive to it, but..."

Su Chen: "A person who is too fragile can be crushed by the slightest disturbance."

"If not this time, then next time."

"There's nothing to regret; it was all my own choice."

Lin Jingyu took a deep breath.

"There are still too few job opportunities. If only there were more..."

Su Chen gently patted his shoulder: "Don't think about it."

Back in the small building, after the jadeite rough stones were distributed, Su Chen selected three stones from his share, and had the master cut the rest open. He then called Xin Yu to come over and invited the little ones to absorb the jadeite together.

As a father, he felt heartbroken for Su Chen as he watched those jadeite stones gradually turn into worthless stones.

Feeling the joy conveyed by the children, he couldn't help but smile, feeling gratified.

"Thank you, really, thank you so much!"

He was about to kneel down when Su Chen helped him up.

"I've already said it, it's because I have a special connection with these children."

As he spoke, Su Chen took a closer look at the little guys.

Having absorbed so much jade energy in one go, the yin energy in his body was almost gone, and he was almost able to maintain his spiritual state.

But to further solidify the effect, you still need to take a little more every now and then.

Su Chen gave Xin Yu a few reminders.

Xin Yu nodded repeatedly.

“Master, I know. I’ve discussed it with Brother Shi. We’re planning to go to that mining area in a while. Maybe we can catch one or two small ones. Even if we can’t get into the mining area, I can still work as a guide or something and earn money to buy jade. It’s just that…”

He looked at the children with some concern.

Su Chen: "Take it with you."

"The children have already been abandoned by their mother; it would be heartbreaking for them to be separated from their father as well..."

"Don't underestimate them."

Xin Yu nodded emphatically, then took two steps back, punched Su Chen twice in the chest, bowed slightly, and only got up and left after a long while.

Su Chen escorted him to the door, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Xi Meng leaning against the wall.

He crossed his arms and stared at himself with great interest.

"what happened?"

Xi Meng squinted: "Aren't you being a little too nice to those little guys?"

"I have a feeling there's something fishy going on here."

Su Chen chuckled: "I just felt it wasn't easy for them to become spirits, so I helped them out. What could be shady about it?"

Xi Meng glanced at Su Chen from head to toe twice.

"you……"

"Did you learn bad habits from Qingwei?"

"Or did Qingwei assign you some task?"

"I wasn't there when you broke through the formation that night. If you have any secret plots..."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow and nodded seriously.

"Yes, a conspiracy."

"We're plotting how to dismantle you and pull out your tendons to jump rope."

As Xi Meng watched him walk past, she frowned: "Qingwei really didn't drag you to do anything stupid? I just don't believe it."

"And when I see these kids, I always feel that they are not simple."

Su Chen stopped in his tracks, looked at her helplessly, and smiled: "You really are too idle, Guobang!"

"Hey, Master Su, you called me?"

Cai Guobang emerged from the kitchen, carrying a half-basin of washed bayberries, looking puzzled.

Su Chen pointed at Xi Meng: "Keep an eye on your great-aunt."

Cai Guobang was momentarily stunned, then his gaze fell on Xi Meng. The latter lowered her hand, walked over, picked up a bayberry, and popped it into her mouth. Soon, her facial features contorted.

"Grandma, is it very sour?"

Xi Meng didn't say anything, but grabbed two and stuffed them into Cai Guobang's mouth.

The latter did not resist, chewed twice, and then inhaled sharply.

After recovering, she went to her assistant in disbelief: "Did you guys not pick the bayberries when you bought them? Why are they so sour? My teeth are about to fall out from the sourness."

The assistant feigned innocence: "I didn't buy any bayberries!"

"Where did those bayberries come from?"

Ji Feng, standing in the corner, raised his hand with a sheepish grin.

"A car just parked at the entrance, and someone said they were delivering bayberries, so I brought them in, haha~"

Meeting two pairs of deathly stares, Ji Feng trembled slightly: "Um, is it really that sour?"

He hesitated for a moment, then walked over, grabbed two, and put them in his mouth.

The mask of pain quickly shifted from Cai Guobang's face.

Xi Meng felt better and pouted, "Just peel the orange for me."

"Alright, Grandma, I'm coming right now!"

As Song Anhui yawned and talked on the phone while coming downstairs, she saw Cai Guobang fawning over Xi Meng, massaging her legs and feeding her orange segments.

Then, glancing over, Lin Jingyu had a stack of documents in front of him. He was holding a pen, frowning as he examined them, occasionally pointing at the documents and chatting with Lin Jingmo.

As for Su Chen, he was reading a book and glanced at the cover carefully.

"Agronomic planting guidance? Master Su, you want to be a farmer and get involved in planting?"

She casually remarked, glanced around, and said to the person on the other end of the mobile phone, "Hmm, there's enough space here, you guys hurry up and come over."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Lin Jingyu and said, "Boss Lin, this room is too small, and the bed isn't big enough either."

Lin Jingyu paused for a moment, put down the documents and nodded: "Indeed, we only thought about it as a temporary place to stay at the public auction, so we didn't think too much about it."

"I'll build a manor at the foot of Qingyun Mountain later, and move some of my wine collection over there. I'll invite you to stay there for a while."

Xi Meng frowned: "You want to build a manor over at Qingyun Mountain?"

"Yes, that's the plan. Isn't the feng shui over there quite good?"

"We're planning a party at the hotel tonight, do you guys want to come?"

Xi Meng waved her hand lazily: "I'm not going to join in the fun."

Ji Feng and Ge Jinghao were eager to try, especially Ge Jinghao, who raised his hand and, noticing that Song Anhui wasn't looking at him, jumped up and down a couple more times.

Lin Jingyu glanced at him, and Ge Jinghao pleaded, "Uncle, it's a party."

"Things haven't been peaceful these days~"

"But, but..."

Unable to find a reason, Ge Jinghao quickly gave Xiang Qingfeng a meaningful look.

The latter shrugged helplessly, indicating that he had no choice.

Ji Feng cautiously asked, "Could I ask where you're having your party, sister? Maybe I know the place."

Song Anhui shook her head: "I don't know, it's their arrangement. I'll just be responsible for going there. If you're interested, we can go together."

Ji Feng: "..."

Su Chen put down his book: "Was this arranged by Shishi?"

"Ah, she brought people over. She said she knows someone here, someone who seems to be her grandfather's old comrade-in-arms, anyway, it will be very convenient for them to get things done."

Song Anhui winked at Su Chen as she spoke, "Master Su, would you like to come along?"

Su Chen shook his head: "I won't, I have guests."

As he spoke, he turned around, and several light footsteps came from the doorway of the small building.

A short while later, Zheng Heng and Qin Deshui were led in by their assistant.

Su Chen was about to greet him when his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Qin Deshui's right forearm was now a piece of charcoal.
