“We might have to ask Mr. Jian for his opinion on this matter! After all, what Mr. Luo instructed has something to do with Mr. Jian’s personal life!” Yu Peng explained.
This time, Luo Han understood!
“Since it’s a private matter, it’s not convenient for me to stay! Mr. Jian, don’t worry. These two people are indeed Luo Cheng’s subordinates. They’re not impersonators! If you have anything to say, just say it. I’ll wait outside!”
When Jian Zhou heard Luo Han’s words, he cupped his fists and said, “Thank you!”
After Luo Han left, Jian Zhou gestured for them to go ahead.
“The two of you must be tired from the long journey, so why don’t you sit down and talk?!”
Yu Peng thanked him but didn’t sit down. Instead, he took out a portrait from Jiao Hang’s hand.
“Mr. Jian, things aren’t that complicated. Take a look at this portrait first!” With that, Yu Peng opened the scroll and a portrait of a woman and a little boy appeared on the paper.
When Jian Zhou saw this painting, his pupils dilated. Then, he walked over excitedly and grabbed Yu Peng’s shoulder.
“Where is the person in this painting?”
Seeing that Jian Zhou was so agitated, Yu Peng said in a cold voice, “Mayor Jian, please listen to us!”
When Jian Zhou heard Yu Peng’s words, he realized that he had lost his composure.
“I’m sorry, I was too excited! Please go ahead!”
Yu Peng expressed that he didn’t mind and said, “This mother and son live in
Yun Gao Village, which is beside Hele Village. Because she looks similar to you, Mr. Luo asked us to make this trip! You can send someone to investigate the details yourself! However, we heard that they’re an orphan and a widow!”
Jian Zhou nodded and said, “Thank Mr. Luo for me. I’ll visit another day to thank him in person! I wonder if you guys can give me this portrait?”
“Sure!” Yu Peng said as he handed the portrait to Jian Zhou and bid farewell.
After sending the two of them off, Jian Zhou looked at the portrait and his eyes turned red.
He and his sister had relied on each other since he was young. During the most difficult time period, his sister was willing to starve herself in order to feed him. That year, a natural disaster happened and his parents died. It was his sister who brought him along to escape. Unfortunately, he had a fever on the road. In order to save him, his sister went to all sorts of places to pick herbs. In the end, his sister fell sick and also had a fever. As she carried him, she fainted!
He thought that their lives would end here. Unexpectedly, after he woke up, he realized he was saved by his current adoptive father.
His adoptive father said that when he arrived, he only saw him lying there unconscious and didn’t see his sister.
Therefore, all these years, he had been searching for his sister.
Unexpectedly, he received news of his sister when he arrived in White Foothill City.
At this moment, Jian Zhou was extremely grateful to Luo Cheng.
Jian Zhou knew that Luo Cheng had seen him before, so he didn’t suspect anything.
However, he also understood that the reason Luo Cheng sent someone to deliver this news today was actually because he hoped that he would owe him a favor.
However, he felt that it was worth it to exchange a favor for information about
his sister.
It was just that he couldn’t yet.
He had just taken over White Foothill City, so there were still many things to do.
He had to sort out the matters in White Foothill City before he could have free time to see his sister.
Thinking of this, Jian Zhou made a decision.
Although he couldn’t visit his sister personally, he could ask someone to investigate her life over the years.
Of course, he could also get someone to bring his sister to White Foothill City.
The more he thought about it, the more Jian Zhou felt that this was feasible, so he quickly called his trusted aides over and arranged for them to do it.
After they delivered the letter, Yu Peng and Jiao Hang felt relaxed.
As for the food street, they believed that it wouldn’t be long before the problem was resolved!
When Luo Han saw the two of them walk out with relaxed expressions, he knew that the matter had been settled.
“Let’s go back now!” Luo Han said with a smile.
Yu Peng thought for a moment and asked, “Young Master Luo, if possible, can we go back after lunch? I also want to try the grilled fish in White Foothill City!”
“Yes, yes, yes. I want to try it too! There’s not much time left until lunchtime anyway!” Jiao Hang nodded when he heard this.
Luo Han thought of something when he heard their words.
“I’ve been so busy recently that I didn’t have time to go to that grilled fish shop to try it. I happen to be free at noon today, so let’s go together!”
The three of them agreed and went to eat grilled fish happily.
At the same time, the three families of Yun Gao Village sneaked out of the door and went up the mountain from different directions. Finally, they met in a very hidden valley.
“What should we do? Every family in the village is watching us now!” Old Master Yan said anxiously.
Fang Mazi looked at a ruddy man beside him and said, “What’s the hurry?! Didn’t everyone come to discuss it? By the way, Li Shun, did you spread the news? If this continues, I won’t be able to hold on anymore! We might as well sell the land to Luo Cheng!”
“I’ve already spread the news. I believe there’ll be a response soon! Didn’t the other party say that we should come to this valley to wait when we have something urgent? I believe someone will come to talk to us soon!” Li Shun comforted.
Sr. Yan pursed his lips and said, “Of course we’re anxious! My house stinks now and from time to time, there will be strange cries at night. If this continues, I won’t be able to take it anymore!”
Fang Mazi said gloomily, “Sr. Yan, you’re not the only one whose house was splashed with feces. All our houses were splashed with feces! Our lives haven’t been easy recently! We lost a lot of the chickens and ducks we raised as well!” Mr. Gao also felt a sharp pain in his temple.
If he had known things would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have been so greedy back then.
Now, it was too late to regret it.
Luo Cheng didn’t force them, but the villagers made things difficult for them.
To be honest, there were huge benefits to selling the land to Luo Cheng. If there was an additional food street, the villages nearby would benefit in the future.
Unfortunately, one wrong step ruined everything.
Li Shun knew that it was too late to regret it now. He only hoped that the people who had found them back then could give them a good idea. untortunate1Y, even arter tne tnree or tnem stood In tne wind on tne mountam until the sky had turned dark, no one came.
Now, the three of them were in an even worse mood.
When they returned to the village, they were shocked by a piece of news. Luo Cheng planned to search for another piece of land for the food street!
