Chapter 361 Dead

Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi had already discussed this matter before.

The reason for bringing this up again is just for casual conversation.

"A coordinated attack?" Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile, "Times have changed. The country wouldn't allow it. Besides, Master Yu's attitude actually reflects the attitude of other cultivation forces towards you."

What attitude?

To win over partners.

They said they could cultivate a spiritual revival; perhaps that was a joke, but it was definitely a possibility.

This is why Yu Suihai said that.

He saw hope in Xu Yue.

What about everyone else?

More and more cultivators are coming to Peach Blossom Village, and many of them stay for a long time before leaving.

The same applies to other villages besides Taoyuan Village.

Of course, Taoyuan Village has the most.

Besides the more beautiful scenery and better conditions in other aspects, the spiritual energy here is also more abundant.

"Take a look at these when you have time!" Xu Yue said. "Just get a general understanding of them."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

His current cultivation level is insufficient; he hasn't even figured out the supernatural abilities and formations of the peasant school yet. If he were to delve into the Taoist things, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Xu Yue gave the items to Zhang Ruoxi, and then started delivering mooncakes.

There are quite a few people who need to receive gifts.

We might not be able to finish delivering them all in one day.

Of course, there are still a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there's no need to be in such a hurry.

He then simply sent Zhang Ruoxi's maternal grandmother and paternal grandmother to the guesthouse.

However, no one was in the courtyard.

After putting the things down and giving a phone call, Xu Yue left.

Zhang Ruoxi's maternal grandmother and the others have long been familiar with each other here.

Everyone has their own things to do, and if it's not mealtime, you might not even find them in the courtyard.

Having lived here for so long, they've gotten used to life here.

The key is that their health is getting better and better.

He then gave gifts to the people at the clinic.

There was no favoritism.

He also sent a box to each of Xu Zixu's apprentices.

"When Qingqing goes back, come to my house to pick it up, and take Aunt Er and the others back with you."

Xu Yue didn't give it to Xie Qingqing.

"it is good!"

Xie Qingqing smiled and nodded.

The mooncakes that Xu Yue personally delivered must be extraordinary.

It's from Taoyuan Farm, so it must be delicious.

It would be very prestigious to give it as a gift.

"what?"

When Xu Yue returned, he ran into an acquaintance.

"Yunyuan!"

"Xu Yue?"

Yun Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xu Yue driving by, which surprised him.

Are you here for sightseeing?

Xu Yue parked the car on the side of the road and asked casually.

"Ok!"

Yunyuan nodded.

He Qingxuan, who was next to him, smiled and nodded at Xu Yue.

"That's just right!"

Xu Yue took two boxes of mooncakes from the car and handed them over.

"This farm makes it itself, and it tastes pretty good," Xu Yue said with a smile. "I won't make a special trip here."

"How embarrassing."

Yun Yuan was a little embarrassed, but he still caught it.

I didn't reason with them much; I just genuinely couldn't refuse.

Everything from Peach Blossom Farm is of the highest quality.

"You're still being so polite with me!" Xu Yue said with a smile. "You guys have fun, I have something to do, so I won't keep you company any longer."

It's not appropriate for him to accompany the couple who are enjoying themselves here.

"And there's more surprise!"

He Qingxuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Yun Yuan smiled as well.

That's how it happened; otherwise, it might not have happened.

At least he didn't think about giving Xu Yue a gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

However, this is also excellent.

At least Xu Yue stopped the car and gave them two gift boxes when he saw them, instead of pretending not to see them and speeding past.

He wasn't as close to Xu Yue as Feng Jie was.

Has Xu Yue prepared anything for Yun Yuan?
Not really.

Although he attended Yunyuan's wedding, their relationship wasn't really that good.

However, if it happens, then it will naturally be given.

He didn't think too much about it.

Since Yunyuan had already given it away, Xu Hongying, who still had some contact with him, naturally made preparations as well.

I'll send it over tomorrow.

The next day, Xu Yue went to the city.

It was mainly delivered to Feng Jie.

As for Wang Zemin, Wang Haolin and others can take care of him.

"How many pounds have you gained?!"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised to see Feng Jie.

It's only been a short time since I last saw him, but he's gained at least two sizes.

“Middle-aged weight gain, huh?” Feng Jie said with a smile. “You should also be careful, or you might end up like me.”

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "If I wanted to gain weight, I would have gained weight long ago. You should pay attention to your diet, lest you develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar at such a young age."

Middle-age weight gain?

Perhaps that's one reason, but Xu Yue thinks that Feng Jie's weight gain is probably related to his increased socializing.

Eating large amounts of meat and drinking heavily every day, it's no wonder you gain weight.

"Don't curse me!" Feng Jie said. "These are mooncakes made on your farm? They must be expensive."

"I don't know about that," Xu Yue said. "Just these two boxes, take them back and try them out."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Feng Jie said. "I've prepared a few packs of cigarettes for your uncle. You can take them back with you later. I won't make the trip myself; I've been busy lately."

“You’ve been so busy lately!” Xu Yue said. “You can never earn all the money in the world. As your business grows bigger, you need to learn to let go, or you’ll exhaust yourself sooner or later.”

“There are some things you can let go of, but there are others you can’t trust,” Feng Jie said. “Not everyone is like you.”

"These two boxes are for Xu Hongying. Please keep in touch with her more often and bring them to her for me."

Xu Yue said to the other two boxes.

Feng Jie and Xu Hongying's families have more contact, so there will definitely be gifts exchanged during the holidays.

“You should deliver them!” Feng Jie shook his head and said, “You know her family’s situation. These two boxes of mooncakes are too valuable for you to deliver. It’s fine for you to deliver them, but I might not be able to.”

Xu Yue didn't quite understand at first, but he quickly realized what was going on.

Fan Yiping is now at the deputy bureau level, and the art of exchanging gifts with civil servants is truly an art.

If it's inappropriate for Feng Jie to give expensive gifts, then why is it okay for Xu Yue?
Feng Jie might have the opportunity to bribe Fan Yiping, but Xu Yue did not.

So, there's no problem with him delivering it.

"Fine!"

Xu Yue shook his head. He didn't understand the intricacies of the matter, but he wasn't stupid either.

It's just a gift; it wouldn't be good if it caused trouble for the other person.

Has Xu Hongying gone to work?

Xu Yue then asked, "Xu Hongying used to be a full-time stay-at-home mom, but now that the child is older, that might not be the case."

“She now runs a clothing store near Rongzhou Square,” Feng Jie said. “It’s just a few steps from your cousin’s store.”

"That's just right."

Xu Yue nodded, chatted with Feng Jie for a few minutes, and then drove to Rongzhou Square. The flow of people there was decent; it wasn't peak season yet, so there was no shortage of parking spaces.

Xu Yue went to Xu Hongying's shop first, instead of Li Weihai's shop.

"Xu Yue!"

Upon seeing the shop, Xu Hongying exclaimed in surprise, then smiled and said, "You're not here to buy clothes, are you?"

Her shop targets the mid-to-low-end market, and with Xu Yue's wealth, he wouldn't buy clothes of that level.

“This doesn’t seem like business,” Xu Yue said. “When you open a business, no matter who comes in, you shouldn’t leave empty-handed.”

“These clothes don’t suit you,” Xu Hongying said with a smile. “I just have good taste.”

"I heard from Feng Jie that you opened a shop here, so I brought you two boxes of mooncakes," Xu Yue said. "I was thinking of asking Feng Jie to bring them too, but he was worried about causing trouble for your husband."

"From Taoyuan Agricultural Products?" Xu Hongying glanced at the mooncakes in Xu Yue's hand and then said, "No wonder Feng Jie was afraid of getting into trouble, they must be very expensive, right?"

"I don't know about that," Xu Yue shook his head and said, "Just take it back and try it. Why leave it here?"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Xu Hongying said. "I really wouldn't dare accept gifts from others. But it shouldn't be a problem if you give it to me."

If it's a gift from someone else, it's suspected of being a bribe.

Did Xu Yue bribe him?

Her husband isn't qualified yet.

His promotion to deputy director was undoubtedly influenced by Xu Yue's connections.

Now that Xu Yue is giving gifts, no one thinks her husband is accepting bribes and causing trouble. On the contrary, they think more highly of her because her family is close to Xu Yue.

Xu Yue's influence is perhaps beyond his own comprehension.

"I won't disturb your business any longer," Xu Yue said with a smile, putting down the mooncakes. "Come visit Taoyuan Village sometime."

"Row!"

Xu Hongying didn't try to keep Xu Yue; there was no need.

Having customers in the shop was secondary; the key issue was that Xu Yue clearly had other things to do.

"Boss, that guy just now was from Peach Blossom Farm."

As soon as Xu Yue left, a customer couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yue's name may not be universally known in Gong'an City, but he is certainly quite famous.

The main reason is that Taoyuan Farm was too popular recently.

Xu Yue, the owner of Taoyuan Farm, doesn't have much online buzz, but he has generated a great deal of discussion in Gong'an City.

Before it was exposed online, probably no one expected that there was such an amazing person in their city.

"He's as handsome as the rumors say!"

"Young and rich, are you married?"

"Yes, he is the owner of Peach Blossom Farm."

Xu Hongying smiled and nodded, then said.

"You actually know the owner of Peach Blossom Farm? Boss, that's impressive!"

"They're not just acquaintances, they're very close. Otherwise, why would someone send mooncakes to the boss?"

Several customers couldn't help but sigh, their words inevitably tinged with envy.

Who wouldn't want an awesome friend?

“He and I were old classmates, and my wife and I also have a good relationship.”

Xu Hongying smiled and explained, then began to introduce her clothes.

Those people who were picking and choosing a moment ago suddenly became generous and readily paid for their purchases.

Xu Hongying watched the departing customers, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Can you do this?

Xu Hongying's clothing store and Li Weihai's shoe store are not far apart.

"Xiao Yue, what are you doing?"

As soon as Xu Yue entered the store, Li Weihai saw him carrying large and small bags and was immediately puzzled.

"I brought you some mooncakes," Xu Yue said, glancing around the shop. "Your business is doing well! Hmm?"

"Mr. Xu!"

"President Gong!"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised, not expecting to run into Gong Dajun at Li Weihai's shop.

And what about Gong Dajun?
I was surprised, but also a little embarrassed.

Why did Guo Huai change his mind after answering the phone?
Who made that call?

Gong Dajun was able to guess it to some extent.

Why did Xu Yue agree at first, and then go back on his word?
It's because they know the reason.

Cheating!
Gong Dajun's forehead throbbed with pain at the thought of his troublesome son.

Guo Huai abandoned the matter, and the relocation of the ancestral graves was delayed.

He even went to a neighboring city to find a master to move his ancestral graves.

But that feng shui master was definitely far inferior to Guo Huai.

It's even hard to say whether they have any real skills.
He knew very well that it was extremely rare to find a truly skilled feng shui master.

Even if the feng shui master he hired was truly skilled, the feng shui of the new grave would definitely be far inferior to that of the previous one.

Previously, he was in a state of "better safe than sorry" regarding feng shui.

I was somewhat skeptical.

But after the incident at his ancestral grave, he experienced it firsthand and now he truly believes it.

The crucial point is that there's a sword hanging over his head!
The mastermind behind it all has been caught!
He pulled a lot of strings, but he still didn't know how the person had handled it.

Is it illegal to bury something around someone's ancestral grave?

This has no legal basis!
"Mr. Xu, when are you free? I'd like to pay you a visit."

Gong Dajun hesitated for a moment, but eventually mustered up the courage to speak.

no solution anymore!

He feared being turned away if he went to their door without permission.

He had been to Peach Blossom Village before, but seeing Xu Yue was not so easy.

"About your family's matter?" Xu Yue said, "I don't know the specifics very well. The person is definitely not out yet, but it won't be long. No one was killed, and there wasn't any serious impact. Besides, there was a reason for it, so the special departments won't handle it too harshly."

Should we handle it?
It definitely needs to be addressed.

The Special Administration Bureau's main task is to deal with crimes committed using special methods.

How to handle it is naturally not based on any legal basis.

Xu Yue didn't ask how it was handled in detail.

I'm too lazy to ask.

Perhaps there's also a degree of avoidance involved.

If he asks, he will surely know.

Actually, he also felt quite sorry for Gong Dajun.

Was it an undeserved disaster?
No, it doesn't!
The child does not teach, the father too.

He is absolutely responsible.

“I’ve already beaten that brat into the hospital and cut off his finances, but I can’t kill him, can I?” Gong Dajun sighed and said, “President Xu, what should I do?”

Looking at Gong Dajun's haggard eyes, Xu Yue couldn't help but sigh.

His son deserved to die, but he wasn't entirely innocent either.

But to say he deserves to die is going a bit too far.

“That person has a criminal record, and special departments will strengthen supervision, so you don’t need to worry too much.”

Xu Yue couldn't help but offer a word of comfort, but as for helping, that was impossible.

He felt that the man would definitely find another opportunity to kill Gong Dajun's son.

No other reason.

If he were in that situation, he would have done the same thing.

The granddaughter, who was his only family, was deceived and committed suicide due to depression. What's the point of living if he doesn't kill that scumbag?
Don't give that person a chance, otherwise...
His son is probably doomed.

At least that's what Xu Yue thought.

Gong Dajun hesitated, then stopped talking.

He and Xu Yue had no real relationship.

Even if there's some connection, putting yourself in their shoes, they probably wouldn't be willing to help.

"Do you know?"

After Gong Dajun left, Li Weihai finally asked a question.

"He's from Gongjia'ao. We met there when we were renting a place there."

Xu Yue felt somewhat ashamed for not telling the truth.

If he knew the reason, Xu Yue might not have intervened.

Even if the earth's energy in Gongjia'ao is affected, the laboratory can be rebuilt later at most, and that little bit of time won't make a difference.

Unfortunately, at the time I didn't know the reason and thought the other party was trying to kill me for money.
