My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 99 The person behind the scenes
Ouyang Jing: I didn't expect Miss to think of so much.

"I'll listen to Miss and not go kill that prefect." Ouyang Jing decided to watch the show.

He was eager to see what methods this mysterious young lady would use.

"A mere prefect is not worth my time." Bai Hu Yaoyao picked up her teacup, blew away the foam, and took a small sip.

Some people helped her get rid of the prefect.

Dong Qian must have known that for the affordable grain store to continue operating safely, the prefect had to fall from power.

The people behind him certainly won't let the prefect continue to cause trouble.

This grain store was the last lifeline for Northwest China.

Bai Hu Yaoyao was in a good mood, but she didn't know if the person behind Dong Qian was capable enough to protect this affordable grain store.

After returning, Dong Qian went directly to the side courtyard.

This courtyard was right next to the one he lived in, and his father didn't even know who lived there.

Upon seeing the man in black standing in the courtyard, Dong Qian quickly stepped forward.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Dong Qian greeted the man before him with utmost respect.

Quan Lihen stood with his hands behind his back, staring blankly at the plum blossoms in the garden.

Turning around upon hearing the voice, a face that could eclipse the heavens and earth appeared before me.

Dong Qian swallowed hard. Even as a grown man, he felt ashamed of himself when he saw the prince's face.

No wonder all those women are crazy about the prince's face.

"Well? Is that woman really able to produce enough grain to open a cheap grain store?" Quan Lihen stepped into the house.

Dong Qian followed closely behind.

Quan Lihen sat down in the seat of honor, his gaze sharp and piercing.

"Yes, Your Highness! She also said that she could supply unlimited food. I don't think she was exaggerating! All the items in Qibaozhai are marked with the Fanlou brand. She has Fanlou backing her up, so what she said must be true."

Outsiders might not know the special nature of Qibaozhai, but he did.

The items from Qibaozhai all bear the Fanlou logo in inconspicuous places.

With just this one mark, no one dares to mess with Qibaozhai.

Bai Hu Yaoyao is the master behind Qibaozhai, so no one dares to provoke her.

Quan Lihen held a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand and twirled them, the corners of his handsome mouth slightly upturned, his tense nerves relaxing a little.

"That's good! I bet she has some conditions, right?" Quan Lihen asked.

How did a teenage girl manage to get so much food?

No matter how he investigated, she was just an ordinary young girl, only her identity was somewhat special.

Dong Qian sighed, "Your Highness, that girl has only one condition, and that is for the prefect to step down."

If she were to ask for other conditions, such as gold, silver, or status, they might be able to provide them.

But that prefect is a key figure; he's the bait they've laid out, so we can't kill him yet.

Isn't this a bit difficult to handle?

Quan Lihen's voice was cold and ruthless, "Then kill him! This is just one small request from the little girl, are we not going to grant it?"

Dong Qian suddenly looked up. "Your Highness, are you joking? If we kill him, we won't know how to control those drug-infused people. Once they escape, we won't be able to stop them at all."

Isn't the prince's plan always steady and methodical, and he wouldn't act so rashly?
Why would someone be so eager to kill someone just because of something a girl said?
The grain in that girl's hand was their last hope in the Northwest, but the prefect's life could still be spared for a while.

The girl agreed.

Quan Lihen calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip. "I'm not joking. Just kill him! That prefect doesn't need to be kept alive."

Do you know what happened to those drug-impaired people who ran away a few days ago?

Quan Lihen kept everyone in suspense. Dong Qian shook his head, "Didn't the Prince already send men to hunt them down?"

Following the prefect's lead, they found a mine where many people were using medicine.

Knowing that the place had been exposed, the prefect abandoned the mine and fled, leaving behind only the uncontrollable drug addicts.

There are too many people taking medicine; if they are not kept in check, many of them will escape.

They have already sent troops to hunt down many, but some who managed to escape escaped their control.

That small group of drug users numbered over two hundred, and the prince has already sent men to hunt them down.

Could it be that they failed to catch up with those drug users?
That would be disastrous.

Quan Lihen tapped the table with his long fingers, making a beeping sound. "I sent troops to chase after those drug-using people. Just as we reached Ghost Cry Ridge, we saw lightning and thunder in the sky. A woman used lightning to kill all those drug-using people in one move."

Do you know who that woman is?

He was shocked when he heard the news.

He was determined to find that woman no matter what.

It was only after investigation that I learned that the only woman who appeared at Ghost Cry Ridge that night was actually the White Fox Yaoyao.

"Your Highness, you're not going to say that the woman is Miss Yaoyao, are you?" Dong Qian asked incredulously.

The girl was petite and delicate, with a rosy and tender face. She always had a smiling expression and looked particularly cute. She had an innocent and harmless appearance, so how could she attract lightning?

Is that human being?
That's heavenly lightning!
“That’s right! This little girl is quite capable! She can kill hundreds of drug-using people in one move, so she must have a way to deal with the drug-using people we’ve controlled.”

"Since we're partners now, I should be able to get her to do me a favor. I've heard that the girl is particularly fond of money. My palace may lack food, but it's never short of gold and silver."

"Moreover, with the connection to Old Master Huo, the young lady will definitely help."

Quan Lihen became increasingly interested in this little girl.

He wanted to meet her; a girl who could summon heavenly thunder must be no ordinary person.

Dong Qian remained uneasy, feeling that the young girl wasn't so easy to talk to.

There are more than two thousand half-dead people in the mine!

They're all losing control.

Even if she, a young girl, agreed to their request, could those drugged people really be dealt with all at once?

"Your Highness, I will go and deal with the prefect's affairs. Miss Yaoyao seems a bit difficult to talk to. To be on the safe side, it would be better to wait until Old Master Huo arrives before discussing the matter of the medicine man with Miss Yaoyao."

In other words, you absolutely mustn't impulsively go looking for that girl yourself.

The girl was very cautious around strangers!
"Go ahead," Quan Lihen waved his hand.

How could he not understand Dong Qian's meaning?
Dong Qian was relieved and quickly left the side courtyard.

Now that the prince had given the order to kill that bastard prefect, he had no more scruples.

This will also give Miss Yaoyao an explanation.

"When will Old Master Huo be able to get here?" Quan Lihen's voice was cold.

The guard standing at the door bowed and said, "Your Highness, we just received a message that Old Master Huo will not arrive until tomorrow."

Quan Lihen nodded, "Understood! Make sure Old Master Huo's safety is guaranteed. You may leave now!"

"Yes!" The guard withdrew.

He was the only one left in the room. He reached out and found a black and gold cicada in his palm.

Pick up a cicada and look closely, and you'll see it's carved from stone.

"Who exactly is this woman who possesses such a peculiar sound transmission stone?" Quan Lihen was filled with questions.
