Chapter 985: Chapter 985 - Trivial Matters

The pheasant soup was delicious.“How is Yilong’s illness?”

“He’s basically recovered,” Wang Yao replied.

“That’s good,” Zhang Xiuying happily said. “My son has changed, so I can enjoy my good fortune now.”

“Yes.”

In southern Yunnan, thousands of miles away...

“Were you looking for me, Chief?”

“Have a seat, Qingfeng,” Miao Xihe said.

“Is it still lively outside?”

“It’s still very lively,” Miao Qingfeng said. “I’ve arranged for someone to plant some poisonous insects on the road.”

“These days, I have been thinking about this matter,” Miao Xihe said. “There is no smoke without fire. These people will not find trouble here without reason. There must be someone behind this matter pushing and guiding them. Our people outside have investigated it for a long time. They haven’t found a single clue. What does this mean?”

Miao Qingfeng thought for a long time before saying, “Well, this man’s method is clever. He is so clever, in fact, that no one can find him. O, his background is so deep that even if we find him, no one will dare say anything.”

“Yes, those are my thoughts as well. Think about it. Who has our stockade offended recently, and who has the ability to do this?”

Miao Qingfeng thought about it. He was only able to think of one person who met those requirements. “Secretary Guo of He County.”

For one thing, he was in charge of He County, where vicious events had happened one after another and resulted in many people dying. That would have certainly impacted his future career path. Second, he was directly affected by this event. He had been poisoned. Although it was not by them, they could not shirk the responsibility. That was undeniable. Third, his sister had been attacked, and the attacker was the son of the chief sitting in front of him. With the secretary’s means at his disposal, he would have easily been able to uncover the real identity of Miao Changsheng. When all these things were added up, he would not be human if he had no hatred in his heart or thoughts against the stronghold. Most importantly, the secretary had the ability to bring his thoughts and ideas to life. They had inquired about it. His family was quite powerful.

“I think so too. No matter how you view it, he is the main suspect.”

“But he is still in He County,” Miao Qingfeng said.

“A wise man knows when to attack and when to retreat,” Miao Xihe said. “I have some doubts about this as well. Given the power of his family, he could very well leave that place early.”

“Chief, shall we...” Miao Qingfeng made a gesture.

“It’s not appropriate at this time,” Miao Xihe said. “If he is behind it, he will be on guard. Also, don’t forget about his family behind him.”

As the chief of this stronghold, sometimes he felt that his life was extenuating. He had to think about too many things. He was not living just for himself.

“Keep a good eye on him.”

“Yes.”

In He County...

“Young Master.”

“Uncle Xu, have a seat,” Guo Zhenghe said.

“You must be careful, Young Master,” Xu Xinyuan said. “Someone is spying on you from the outside.”

“Oh, is it those people?”

“It likely is. In case they discovered me, I didn’t get very close.”

“These people are so daring,” Guo Zheng said.

“They’re spying on me now. Do you think they’ll send someone to kill me if they know this matter is related to me?” Guo Zhenghe lit a cigarette and smiled. “I think Miao Xihe has begun to cast his suspicions on me now.”

“It’s too dangerous for now, Young Master. After all, we’re too close to that place. It’s better to plan early.”

“Alright, I have my plans.”

The family had started to move his things. In his current situation, it was not difficult to move to another place, but he was not willing to. To be honest, he had worked hard and wanted to accomplish something during his time in He County. He had accomplished something. He had garnered a good reputation in He County. He had developed feelings for the place and didn’t want to leave just like that.

“How is the thing that I’ve instructed you to do going?”

“Everything is prepared.”

“Mmm, good.” Guo Zhenghe nodded.

At Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company in Lianshan County...

Zheng Weijun was very happy. The launch procedures and promotion of the new medicine had proceeded quickly. All local departments had cooperated. His networks had also played a huge role in the effort.

However, the sudden appearance of a man placed him in a bad mood.

The visitor was a middle-aged man with short stature. He was in his 40s and well-maintained.

“Uncle Li, you’re quite the rare guest. Please take a seat.”

“Congratulations, Second Young Master,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

“What is there to congratulate?” Zheng Weijun asked.

“Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company has made a name for itself,” the middle-aged man replied.

“This is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go.” Although Zheng Weijun was also very happy, he knew that this was only the first step of success. The path beyond was much longer. He was clear of that.

“Uncle Li, you didn’t come here just to talk to me about this, did you?”

“Your grandpa misses you very much. He asked me to come here especially to visit you.”

“Thank you,” Zheng Weijun said. “Please convey my gratitude for me. I also miss him, and my mother as well.”

The last family meeting had made him very sad. His father had been totally on his brother’s side and didn’t even think about his feelings, not even a little. His mother was the same. She supported his big brother. At that moment, he had felt abandoned as if he was an outsider of the family. He had been hurt and was sad, so he hadn’t gone back home this year. His mother had called him and asked him to return, but he had refused.

“Madame is also very concerned about you. She would like to know when you will go back.”

“I’m not in a hurry,” Zheng Weijun said. “I’m very busy here. I have a lot of things to do.”

For no reason, he felt a sudden wave of revulsion.

“Anything else? I have another meeting to attend.”

“There is nothing else. Take care, Young Master.”

“Have a safe journey back. I shan’t send you off.” Zheng Weijun didn’t say anything superfluous. He didn’t even stand up to see him off.

“Alright.” The man smiled and left. There was already a high-end car waiting outside. After he got in the car, it immediately started moving. He made a phone call.

“Master, the second young master is still angry. Yes, I didn’t say those words. Alright. OK. I’ll go back right away.”

It was already dark. High in the sky, a full moon shone. It was as bright as a jade plate.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

On Nanshan Hill, Wang Yao was gazing at the sky.

“San Xian, what do you see?”

Woof! Woof! The dog squatted beside him and looked up at the sky. Its tail was wagging.

“It will probably turn warm tomorrow. Look, there’s a tinge of yellow there, but it’s not obvious. Earthquakes will probably hit some places, but it will be very slight. It will be the kind where you can’t even feel it.” Wang Yao gently patted the head of the dog and pointed to the sky.

Woof! Woof!

“Can you understand me?”

Woof!

Ha-ha! Wang Yao chuckled.

After gazing at the sky for a while, he went back to his room and prepared some things. He was not going to open the clinic the next day. He had to do something on the peak of Nanshan Hill. He was trying to prepare a new medicine.
