"Hehe, nephew, it's only because of our relationship that you let your uncle off the hook. Your uncle will remember that."

"Back then, I was very stubborn and said that I was no worse than anyone else, but that was just bragging. Dashan is indeed better than me, and I admit that."

"Hahaha." Zhang Dong laughed loudly, "Uncle, I'm glad you're convinced."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, nephew. I know you take care of your old uncle. As the security captain, I'm determined to make a name for myself."

Zhang Dong waved his hand: "Uncle, I don't want you to do anything rash, but rather to keep you on your guard."

"As long as I can deal with Wang Jianguo, it would be good enough if he could remind me in time if he makes any move."

Zhang Guangyao nodded solemnly.

“Nephew, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I’m on guard against him.”

"Moreover, I'm now focusing on nighttime prevention and control. The reason I moved out of my home and came to live at the mine is because I feel that if that bastard Wang Jianguo wants to harm us, he will definitely do it at night."

Hearing his uncle's analysis, which matched his own guess, Zhang Dong nodded in satisfaction.

"That's exactly what I want to remind you of. Remember, when dealing with a bastard like this, you can't be careless..."

As the uncle and nephew were talking, a series of hurried footsteps approached them.

"Zhangdong, Zhangdong!"

The person walking over was Da Niu, who was full of excitement and holding a piece of ore in his hand.

Zhang Dong was taken aback: "What's wrong, Brother Da Niu?"

Da Niu, beaming with excitement, strode over in a few steps.

"Brother Zhang Dong, we've struck it rich!"

"What, developed?"

Zhang Dong raised an eyebrow: "You mean...."

Da Niu pointed to the ore in his hand and began to explain it eagerly.

"Our mining team just discovered a unique ore while mining in one direction."

"What, a unique mineral?"

Zhang Dong couldn't help but breathe heavily. With his experience from later generations, he knew that this place was a treasure trove.

However, he wasn't entirely sure what the composition of the ore was. After all, in his previous life, he had lived in extreme poverty, struggling to make ends meet and working away from home almost year-round.

Only occasionally when he returned home did he hear some news from the village, and learned that Wang Jianguo had mined rich mineral resources in this location.

As for what kind of ore it was, he really didn't know.

Excited, he looked at the bowl-sized piece of ore in Da Niu's hand.

Da Niu said excitedly, "Zhang Dong, hold this piece of ore up to the sunlight and take a look at its quality."

Following Da Niu's advice, Zhang Dong looked at the ore in the sunlight and discovered that a faint red color was emerging on the surface.

"What's going on?" Zhang Dong asked Da Niu after catching his breath.

"Boss, didn't you hear what I just said? We're rich now! Regardless of its composition, based on my past experience, this color of ore is extremely rich in minerals."

"Is it as bizarre as you say?" Zhang Guangyao, standing beside him, didn't see anything amiss.

"Uncle, get out of here, you don't understand at all."

Zhang Dong was overjoyed and beamed at the big ox.

"Since you're so confident in this ore, I'll have it analyzed to determine its composition."

"Also, what's the situation inside the mine? Is this type of ore plentiful?"

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's urgent inquiry, Da Niu laughed and said, "There are countless examples."

Da Niu is speaking in a local dialect. "Hai Liao Qu" means "abundant in content".

Zhang Dong almost jumped up excitedly: "Great, if I have time, I'll take these samples to the city for testing, and then find some partners to see if anyone will buy our abundant ore."

In Woniu Village, at the Wang family home, Wang Jianguo's face was gloomy.

"What did you say? That mine in Zhangdong has yielded a high-quality ore?"

"How is that possible? It's an abandoned mine."

The lackey in front of him said in a trembling voice, "Boss, anyway, now everyone in the village is saying that the mine you gave to Zhang Dong has unearthed a rich deposit of ore, and that Zhang Dong is supposedly going to take the samples to the city to have the composition analyzed."

"Damn it!" Enraged, Wang Jianguo smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

The lackey opposite him was so frightened that his body trembled violently.

"Go find those two bastards, Li San and Zhao Dazhuang. They take my high salary but are so slow at doing their jobs."

"So many days have passed, why haven't you prepared the detonators yet? Go check on the situation. I want Zhangdong and that mine to be reduced to ashes..."

"Okay, boss, I'll go find Li San and the others right away!"

The timid lackey, trembling with fear, quickly ran outside. He had never seen his boss, Wang Jianguo, so angry.

That evening, after his parents and Tang Guo left, Zhang Dong also lay down on his small bed to rest.

He was also very tired after a busy day.

I had just fallen asleep when I heard hurried footsteps running towards my room.

Hearing the noise in a daze, Zhang Dong subconsciously turned over and sat up.

He now goes so far as to sleep with one eye open, just in case the other party retaliates.

He jumped up quickly, grabbed the axe from beside his pillow, and looked murderous.

If it's that bastard Wang Jianguo who sends people to cause trouble, I won't be polite at all.

But just then, he heard someone stop in front of his door and call out to him.

"Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong, get up quickly—"

Upon hearing his uncle's voice, Zhang Dong breathed a sigh of relief and asked his uncle in confusion.

He had vaguely heard that his uncle, Zhang Guangyao, had run over.

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's question, Zhang Guangyao hurriedly replied, "Nephew, tonight we caught the men Wang Jianguo sent. Those bastards brought so many detonators, trying to blow us all up."

Upon hearing his uncle's words, Zhang Dong felt a buzzing in his head; the other party actually wanted to blow him up.

He angrily flung open the door, and there stood his uncle, who looked utterly terrified.

Upon seeing Zhang Dong emerge, Zhang Guangyao said urgently, "Our patrol just spotted three people on the other side, carrying a lot of detonators. They were all sent by Wang Jianguo."

Zhang Dong gritted his teeth: "Where are those bastards now?"

Seeing his nephew's anger, Zhang Guangyao angrily pointed towards the northeast.

"They have all been brought under control on the periphery."

"Okay, let's go take a look right away."

As Zhang Dong spoke, he ran towards the earthen mound in the northeast direction, led by his uncle.
