The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 408 The Lucky Fox Master in the Mountains
"."

With a cautious expression, Lin Ying spoke to the old man sitting opposite her on the video call, offering a guess.

Upon hearing this, Master Lin was taken aback, then a strange expression appeared on his face as he smiled and said:

"Haha. Grandpa does want the old tree to bloom again, but the old man's energy is not like that of the young man."

"There's no need to overthink it. The little guy has just never experienced celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in his ancestral homeland before, so he wants to experience the Mid-Autumn Festival in our Lin family's ancestral homeland."

"It's a pity." Lin Ying's mouth opened slightly, wanting to explain that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at the Lin Family Manor was different from previous years.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet
Lin Ying was preparing to settle scores with her clan.

Now, suddenly, the Lin family patriarch sent over an uncle or elder relative who appeared to be the offspring of the patriarch's iron tree blossoming.

If you have a good Mid-Autumn Festival, that's good; if you don't, there will be bloodshed and clan wars.

"It's alright. He should arrive in Xia Dong tomorrow night. Keep things about him discreet and don't make a big fuss."

Grandfather Lin waved his hand, indicating that Lin Ying only needed to secretly pick him up, provide him with funds and a tour guide, and she didn't need to worry about anything else.

After Mr. Lin finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Less than a moment later, Lin Ying's phone suddenly rang with a WeChat notification sound.

A person named "Lin Qi" sent her a photo and a text message on WeChat.

The young man in the photo appears to be of mixed race. He has deep-set features, relatively fair skin with short black hair, a bright smile, and looks to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. His bright green eyes are very striking.

Lynch: [You just need to pick up the person; don't worry about anything else. Focus on your power struggle.]

"Grandpa seems to be 93 years old this year. He should have been around 70 years old more than ten years ago."

Looking at the young man in the photo, Lin Ying's expression subtly changed.

Although she didn't want to speculate in that direction, the young man in the photo really did look a lot like her great-grandfather.

Their noses, eyebrows, and eyes are exactly the same.

No wonder they couldn't make a fuss about it.
When the great-grandfather was over seventy, he indulged in philandering and fathered a son with foreign blood for the younger generation of the Lin family.

For the Lin clan, this news was akin to a tactical nuclear bomb exploding in their home.

Having foreign blood is not a taboo subject.

but.

Foreign bloodlines are simply not acceptable within the clan.

How could a family bound by blood ties possibly accept someone with foreign blood? Don't even think about it.

This is not prejudice, but there really was a case of relatives of the empress usurping power in the Lin family's more than two hundred years of history.

They almost hung a picture of Jesus and a painting of a foreigner on the ancestral tablets for the Lin clan to worship and burn incense.

therefore.

When Lin Ying saw the photo on WeChat, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Although my grandfather's personality was not like Li Wenkang's, whose heart was filled with the thought that he only wanted foreigners to die.

But they are always wary of foreigners. How come they have produced a little devil who combines the best of both worlds?
"Lin Linshu, go and inform the business delegation that the Lin clan has an urgent matter that requires my return."

"Let them handle my meetings, or cancel them all and just book me a flight back to Xia Dong."

Lin Ying turned off her phone, rubbed her slightly aching forehead, and called out towards the door.

Having a mixed-race foreign uncle was even more troublesome for Lin Ying than the internal strife within the Lin family of Xia Kingdom.

No matter how chaotic the Lin family in Xia Kingdom is, they are still part of the same family. Once the other Lin families cut off the funding, and Lin Ying shuts down the investment department, the Lin family in Xia Kingdom will immediately behave themselves.

But my great-grandfather was the patriarch of the Lin clan.

They actually produced a foreigner's illegitimate child.

This concerns the legitimacy of the Lin clan.

It would have been better if she hadn't known. Now that she did, Lin Ying felt like she was being pricked by thorns, as if the eyes of her ancestors were poking at her back, urging her to quickly inform the other Lin clan leaders that their great-grandfather had given birth to a son for the clan.

"I just hope"

"He has no intention of seizing power, and his wife's family probably doesn't have much influence!"

Lin Ying leaned back in her chair, muttering to herself as she tried to guess what her great-grandfather was thinking. She was having an internal struggle, hoping that the foreign uncle she was about to take in would be more gentle-natured.

otherwise.

For the benefit of the clan as a whole.

Whether it's an out-of-control concrete mixer truck or a white fox suddenly darting out of the green belt, there's always one that suits the greedy foreign uncles.

Or perhaps Mr. Fuli will drive his hundred-ton king and run over them.

…………

"clang--"

"clang--"

Along the wide valleys and streams in the Qinling Mountains.

Agricultural science students were divided into groups to assist their teachers in driving the steel rods of the geological detectors into the ground.

Ah Qing swung her sledgehammer with great force.

Just like Master Fuli.

"Ah Qing, your phone has no signal again!"

An Sheng lay on a rock by the stream, half-immersed in the cool water, resisting the heat.

Ah Qing's phone was placed on the rock, covered by a parasol, for the little fox to use for amusement.

But the video playing in front of him had stopped half an hour ago, and there wasn't a single bar of signal left in the signal display.

Even though the streams and mountain springs are cool in the sweltering summer, they are not as refreshing as the heart of Master Fuli.

"Ah Qing, what did the little fox say?"

While installing the ultrasonic pulse device, Mo Yiqing heard the little fox's distressed cries and saw it lying on the stream like a starving corpse. He couldn't help but laugh and asked A Qing for help.

"He said his phone had no signal, and the big fox in the video got stuck halfway through pooping, which made him uncomfortable," Ah Qing said with a helpless expression.

"Pfft." Mo Yiqing laughed out loud upon hearing this.

She knew that Ah Qing had replaced her old Android phone with her current one in order to shoot 4K short videos and use it as a camera for live streaming.

But now that she's in a remote mountain area, it's perfectly normal that her live-streaming phone has no signal.

"Go check on him! I can install the detectors here by myself. You take the little fox and the spectrometer to the edge of the forest to test the soil," Mo Yiqing said to A Qing with a smile.

To gather mountain delicacies for lunch, one must first complete the observation activity course and master the use of the instruments.

It's only a little past nine o'clock now. After all the classes are over and we have free time, we'll still have at least half an hour.

They had planned it all out: to drive probes into the soil to install ultrasonic pulse detectors.

Actors and the like are still hanging in the trees, with surveillance cameras installed.

"Okay! I'll go and finish the soil analysis first."

After thinking for a moment, A-Qing picked up the metal box containing the portable spectrometer and walked towards the little fox.

"Xiao An, let's go! I'll take you to pick chestnuts and akebia quinata!"

Ah Qing spoke to the little fox.

"How about we eat a fish first?" An Sheng turned her gaze away from the tail, and with a slight effort, pulled up her tail, which was soaking in the stream.

A large, wobbly salamander opened its mouth and bit the tip of Master Fuli's tail.

"Quaa?"

The giant salamander, pulled out of the water by An Sheng, looked at the man and the fox with its intelligent eyes, its mouth tightly biting the tail of Master Fuli, and made a strange croaking sound similar to that of a frog.

"Wild giant salamanders are supposed to be protected animals in China, right?"

"It's okay, I'm a protected animal too. I'll give it a good whack later."

"Huh!? Is...is this possible?"
