The only road leading to the land development company was riddled with potholes and muddy.

This detail instantly piqued the curiosity of Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian.

Why is the road built here not even paved with asphalt?

Are we really that poor?

Bai Mengfei expressed her doubts about this.

"Don't you think this road is strange?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly and said affirmatively, "Yes, I've noticed. Don't rush, let's talk about it after we meet the developer."

After making some inquiries, the two finally arrived at the developer's company.

This company is quite strange. It is very large in scale and has a magnificent building, but when you look into the lobby through the glass doors, there is nothing there.

Bai Mengfei stood outside the door, her brows furrowed, wondering whether she should go in.

After all, there might be danger once inside, and girls are always more sensitive.

Xiang Yuntian, however, simply grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open to go inside.

Seeing this, Bai Mengfei quickly reached out to stop them, and couldn't help but call out, "Hey, wait a minute."

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's call, Xiang Yuntian stopped what he was doing, turned to look at her, his face full of doubt, as if asking for the reason.

Bai Mengfei stared intently inside for a moment before finally deciding to go in and take a look.

After all, it's hard to figure things out when you're out there.

She then said to Xiang Yuntian, "It's alright, go inside."

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly and walked in front of her through the door.

He walked in front not out of male chauvinism, but because he wanted to ensure Bai Mengfei's safety.

The two walked around inside for a long time, but didn't see a single person.

Good heavens, such a big company, it's one thing that there's no one at the front desk, but we've already gone up to the second floor and there's still not a single person in sight.

This made Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian suspicious, so they stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.

Seeing the same look of suspicion in Xiang Yuntian's eyes, Bai Mengfei immediately understood that Xiang Yuntian also felt that something was amiss.

"What do you think?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Xiang Yuntian slowly shook his head, sighed, and said, "Let's see how things go."

After saying that, the two planned to walk further inside. Just then, a side door on one side of the corridor was pushed open, and a person walked out.

He was a chubby little guy, wearing a sharp suit and holding several documents in his hand; he looked like a high-ranking executive in the company.

Upon seeing Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, two strangers, appear here, the chubby boy held up the document in his hand, pointed at them, and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Upon hearing the chubby boy's question, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian both stopped in their tracks, no longer approaching. Xiang Yuntian secretly used his detective skills to carefully examine the man before him.

The chubby boy looked refined and had a rather honest face, so he stepped forward without hesitation.

Bai Mengfei was worried that he might be in danger, so she quietly tugged at his sleeve, but he said, "It's alright."

Walking up to the chubby boy, Xiang Yuntian asked, "Excuse me, are you the person in charge here?"

The chubby boy adjusted his glasses and asked, "What? Doesn't it seem like it? But who are you people? Why are you in my company?"

So this is his company?

In other words, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei had truly found what they were looking for without any effort at all.

"May I ask your surname? I am a forensic doctor, Xiang Yuntian." As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian politely extended his right hand, ready to shake hands with him.

The chubby boy sized Xiang Yuntian up and down, perhaps noticing his distinguished air, before shaking hands with him and introducing himself: "My surname is Tong, and my name is Tong Qiang. So you're with the police?"

Xiang Yuntian smiled wryly and turned to look at Bai Mengfei behind him. Then he grasped Tong Qiang's hands and introduced himself, "That's right, you could say that."

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's affirmative answer, Tong Qiang frowned and muttered under his breath, "When did the police find someone like you? It's unbelievable."

"Is that so?" Xiang Yuntian smiled faintly. "I wonder what made Mr. Tong think that?"

Xiang Yuntian didn't like hearing such compliments.

However, Bai Mengfei, being an observer, could see that Tong Qiang's words were not flattery but the truth, because Tong Qiang's insight was indeed sharp.

Tong Qiang took a deep breath, withdrew his right hand, still holding the documents, and strode forward, saying, "If you two have nothing else to do, let's talk as we walk? I'm in a hurry."

“Okay,” Xiang Yuntian replied.

The three then walked and talked inside the building.

Tong Qiang told them, "I used to do business in another city. I'm a local, and I made some money in my early years. Now I'm thinking of coming back to build up my hometown. But as you probably know, many projects have been abandoned. Look."

As he spoke, he waved the document in his hand, gesturing to Xiang Yuntian, and continued, "This document is for your police station. The police aren't allocating funds, making it difficult for our project to continue. The workers have all run away with their wages."

"Then your investment loss must be quite substantial, right?" Bai Mengfei knew more than Xiang Yuntian.

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's understanding words, Tong Qiang immediately smiled, looked at Bai Mengfei, and asked Xiang Yuntian, "Who is this little girl? Is she your relative?"

"I guess so." Xiang Yuntian didn't want Tong Qiang to know too much about his situation.

Tong Qiang said "Oh," and then added, "Since you're with the police, you should be able to find a way to help me, right?"

"No, Mr. Tong, we came here this time..."

Xiang Yuntian was interrupted just as he was about to reveal the purpose of his trip.

Tong Qiang was an impatient person. Before Xiang Yuntian could finish speaking, he interrupted him by saying that he knew something.

Bai Mengfei also felt helpless; when faced with someone with such a personality, she could only go along with him.

"This is indeed a difficult task, after all, it requires government funding."

"Especially the banks here, ugh, let's not even talk about them, they're just too unreliable. So, we..."

Tong Qiang was talking non-stop, but Bai Mengfei was certain that she hadn't heard a single word; it was all going in one ear and out the other.

The two of them were speechless.

Why is he such a chatterbox?
