Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 447 My Cousin Got Beaten Up

Many scenic spots have been imbued with an air of mystery.

Moreover, those scenic spots use this as an attraction and a promotional gimmick.

There is also a scenic area called Yunwu Mountain.

There are legends of dragons in Qinglongtan, and there are even rumors that a phoenix once bled in the Hundred Birds Forest.

Why did the phoenix shed blood?

A battle between dragons and phoenixes!

In addition, there are two ancient tombs in the scenic area, and those two tombs are quite extraordinary.

There is also an ancient temple inside the cave.

These also reveal a mysterious figure.

Why is Yunwu Mountain Scenic Area so popular?

Besides the truly beautiful scenery and excellent reputation, the mystique surrounding those attractions is also a factor.

Nowadays, there are golden dragons ascending to heaven in the direction of Qinglongtan, but not many people actually believe it.

As for the denial of the scenery, to believers, it is merely an attempt to cover up the truth.

Otherwise, why would the scenic area suddenly close?

Otherwise, why would there be dense fog that has never appeared before?
When too many coincidences come together, they are no longer coincidences.

With the peach blossoms in full bloom, the number of tourists visiting the village has increased, and the online buzz has naturally attracted many visitors.

Among them, regular customers are naturally a significant number.

"Boss Xu!"

A familiar voice rang out, and Xu Yue turned around to see An Hui, the fishing blogger who had once come to his house for a free meal.

"It's you!" Xu Yue said with a smile. "Are you here for tourism or fishing?"

"Let's admire the peach blossoms first, then go fishing," An Hui said with a smile. "You don't mind, do you?"

What do you mind?
Her photographer is taking pictures.

Xu Yue occasionally browses videos, and he sometimes comes across An Hui's videos.

However, he will watch all the videos about Taoyuan Village.

I'm not very interested in other fishing videos.

He had limited interest in fishing.

Xu Yue waved his hand.

He has appeared in many videos.

These days, when I go out, some people actually recognize me.

While he may not be as famous as some big stars or as well-known as some of the most active tycoons, Xu Yue is still quite well-known.

He is especially recognized by many netizens as the most handsome and youngest among the wealthy.

"Mr. Xu, is there really a scene of a divine dragon ascending to heaven?"

An Hui couldn't help but ask the question that countless people have these days.

Some people confidently claimed to have seen it.

After all, the fog was thick, and it was nighttime.

However, the golden dragon is still quite easy to see at night and in thick fog.

"You believe the rumors online?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "A golden dragon ascends to heaven at Qinglong Pool? How could that be? If a divine dragon really ascended, it would be a green dragon, not a golden dragon. Otherwise, why would it be called Qinglong Pool instead of Jinlong Pool!"

Upon hearing this, An Hui immediately felt that it made perfect sense.

A dragon ascends to heaven from Qinglong Pool; that dragon is also a green dragon.

But why does it feel like the "qing" in Qinglong doesn't refer to the color qing?

"Have fun."

Xu Yue then said something to An Hui and walked away.

An Hui didn't press the matter, but instead went to see the peach blossoms.

The peach blossoms of Taoyuan Village are no longer limited to the peach grove on the back mountain.

However, that peach grove is one of the must-visit places.

To prevent tourists from wandering around in the Peach Blossom Spring, many photo spots have been built.

After all, with more tourists, it's inevitable that a few people with low moral character will break peach branches.

Actually, this kind of thing happens every year.

Even with security personnel patrolling, there are warning signs in many places in Taolin.

Xu Yue went to the laboratory.

He planned to use meteorite iron from outer space to try and refine a storage artifact to see if he could expand the space and its resilience.

For this purpose, they even went to the school laboratory to request many special substances.

Xu Yue was experienced and adept at crafting storage artifacts.

It's just that I didn't have a natural birth as before.

After all, melting extraterrestrial meteorite iron is incredibly difficult.

In scientific terms, meteorite iron has an extremely high melting point.

However, Xu Yue has tried to get funding before.

The amount of meteorite iron melted to forge a flying sword is far greater than that of this storage artifact.

Melting is difficult, and inscribing runes is even more difficult.

Flying swords are also runes, but objects are much larger.

The storage artifact is too small, which increases the difficulty of inscribing runes.

The key is that it also incorporates special substances.

That increases the difficulty level once again.

If Xu Yue hadn't condensed his primordial spirit and possessed abundant spiritual power and true essence, he might not have been able to successfully refine it.

At the fourth level, it's probably not possible to use meteorite iron to forge storage artifacts.

Or rather, the success rate will be very low.

"how?"

When Zhang Ruoxi saw Xu Yue return, she immediately asked him a question.

“The space is larger and more secure, but my flying sword still can’t fit in,” Xu Yue said. “I guess your bronze axe will be the same.”

"You'll know if you try it."

Zhang Ruoxi took out the bronze axe, and the result was exactly as expected.

"How much of that meteorite iron can you refine?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked, although she knew how big the meteorite was, the number of storage artifacts that could be refined was not measured by volume.

The refining process will result in losses and the removal of some useless substances, which will cause the volume to shrink.

"I haven't counted, but I should be able to refine quite a few more," Xu Yue said. "I'll refine one for you tomorrow, and keep the rest of the meteorite iron for future use."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

It has more space and is more stable, but it's not very practical.

Or rather, it's not a necessity nowadays.

After all, they didn't have any magical artifacts to put inside.

It mainly carries ordinary items.

As they do, so does the Special Administration.

"Forget it!" Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "I wouldn't be able to use that storage magic artifact anyway, and the worst part is that it's not aesthetically pleasing at all, it's all black."

Xu Yue was speechless upon hearing this.

Storage artifacts made from meteorite iron are indeed not as aesthetically pleasing as those made from gold or silver.

Some people might even think she's wearing an iron ring.

“Alright then!” Xu Yue said. “I’ll have people continue collecting them, so you can use them to refine your flying sword once you’ve condensed your primordial spirit.”

A flying sword?
Zhang Ruoxi nodded; she was really looking forward to it.

Just then, Xu Yue's phone rang.

It was Zeng Min who called.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Xu Yue looked a little off after hanging up the phone, Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask.

"My cousin's shop was vandalized, and the people there were beaten up," Xu Yue said. "I'll go take a look."

"Smashed up a shop?" Zhang Ruoxi said in surprise. "Who did it? Does such a thing still happen these days?"

Public security in China is much better now than before.

There are both overt and covert operations, but those people are not as arrogant or unscrupulous as before.

"I don't know," Xu Yue said. "Either he's a complete outsider who knows nothing, or he's not connected to any good circles."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

Almost everyone in Gong'an City who is influential knows that Li Weihai is Xu Yue's cousin.

This is why those people would order shoes from Li Weihai's shop.

That was to give Xu Yue face.

In the entire city of Gong'an, anyone with even a modicum of influence wouldn't dare cause trouble at Li Weihai's shop.

They are well aware of how much power Xu Yue wields now.

Only someone who is unaware of the intricacies of Li Weihai's teachings would be capable of smashing up shops and assaulting people.

"Cousin shouldn't be hurt, right?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "If it was just a regular fight, the protective jade talisman might not have been activated."

"Go and have a look first."

Xu Yue shook his head, clearly indicating that the topic had not been mentioned during the phone call.

Afterwards, Xu Yue drove to Rongzhou Square. By then, Li Weihai's shop had already attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

In addition, a lot of police officers also arrived.

Xu Yue walked over, and the onlookers unconsciously made way for him.

Those who stepped aside were somewhat bewildered, yet felt it was only natural.

Some of them recognized Xu Yue.

After all, he is a celebrity in Gong'an City.

The store was a complete mess.

The police appear to be gathering information.

Li Weihai's face was somewhat red and swollen, with a faint handprint, indicating that he had been slapped.

There were also a few young people shouting arrogantly, seemingly unconcerned about the shop being vandalized.

"what happened?"

Xu Yue walked over and asked.

"They came over with a pair of shoes and wanted a refund and compensation, claiming there were nails inside that had pricked their feet," Li Weihai said. "But they couldn't produce an invoice, and the shoes didn't even come from our store."

"You're talking nonsense! How could it not be you?"

"You say it's not true, so it's not true. You just don't want to take responsibility when something goes wrong."

Before Li Weihai could finish speaking, the young men started shouting.

However, after Xu Yue glanced at him, he was immediately speechless.

They felt as if they were being watched by a ferocious beast, and that any unusual movement would mean certain death.

They dared not say any more.

How much compensation are they asking you for?

Xu Yue asked.

"Two hundred thousand!"

Li Weihai said angrily, "Are they here to ask for compensation?"
This person is clearly just looking for trouble.

“Extortion, intentional assault, and property damage,” Xu Yue said, looking at the group. “Judging from your accents, you’re from out of town, right?”

"What extortion? His shoe punctured his foot, and he won't compensate for medical expenses or lost wages!"

"He attacked first, and I was just retaliating."

"that is!"

"As for this shop, it was accidentally affected when he hit us."

"Have you figured it out?" Xu Yue ignored the group of people and looked at the police, saying, "Should I make a call to your superior?"

"This"

The policeman was speechless.

After they arrived for a while, the matter was actually clear.

Who is Xu Yue?

They recognized him, of course.

Xu Yue appeared to be asking a question, but he was actually expressing his dissatisfaction with them.

But they've only just arrived; there are still procedures to follow.

We never intended to compromise.

Now that they saw Xu Yue had arrived, they dared not do anything more.

Xu Yue's influence in Gong'an City is probably close to that of someone with connections to the highest levels.

The shop owner has a special relationship with Xu Yue, and he's also a victim, so it's no wonder these people are in trouble.

"Director Fan!"

Just as they were wondering how to answer, Fan Xiaoping arrived with several people.

"what happened?"

Fan Xiaoping nodded to Xu Yue, then asked about the police officers.

On his way here, Xu Yue called Fan Xiaoping to inquire about the situation.

However, Fan Xiaoping was clearly unaware of this as well.

He wouldn't pay attention to such things.

After all, Fan Xiaoping has now been promoted to district bureau chief.

The policeman dared not conceal anything and immediately recounted what he had learned.

"The matter is so clear, then take the person back for a thorough interrogation." Fan Xiaoping shouted sternly, "We will not wrong the innocent, nor will we let the guilty go free."

Without hesitation, the police officers stepped forward and handcuffed the men.

Those people shouted loudly and tried to resist, but were then subdued and taken away.

"This is troublesome," Xu Yue said. "I want to know who's behind them."

Fan Xiaoping nodded, then chatted for a couple of minutes before leaving.

Before leaving, I left my phone number with Li Weihai, saying that I could call him directly if I needed anything.

It was naturally out of respect for Xu Yue.

Of course, he also worried that this was just the beginning.

Fan Xiaoping could easily see that this time the target was Li Weihai.

Or perhaps they went there specifically for his shop or his factory.

Li Weihai's business is growing bigger and bigger.

In addition to this custom shoe store, they have now opened a small shoe factory.

If custom-made shoes are high-end, then small shoe factories are low-end.

Even the low-end models are of excellent quality.

The shoe store next door is the exclusive store of Li Weihai's factory.

Besides this one, there are several others in Gong'an City.

In addition, there seem to be a few shops in Jincheng as well.

However, the specifics will only be known after investigation.

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Xu Yue looked at Li Weihai.

He could actually tell; it was just that his face was a little swollen.

Li Weihai shook his head; his face was still burning, but not to the point where he needed to go to the hospital.

"Have someone clean up the mess and tally up the losses, then we'll make them pay for it," Xu Yue said. "Do my uncles know?"

"I haven't had a chance to tell them yet."

Zeng Min began to speak.

As soon as something happened, he called Xu Yue.

Xu Yue arrived quickly.

The police had only been there a short time.

“Call me if anything happens,” Xu Yue said. “We don’t know yet whether those people have powerful backers. If they do, I’ll take care of it for you, so don’t worry. By the way, have you offended anyone recently?”

Business rivals?

It doesn't seem like it.

Although Li Weihai's business is growing bigger and bigger, it's really not enough to make his competitors do this.

Gong'an City has no shoe factories or other custom shoe stores.

Those big brands?
People like Li Weihai are still considered low-level Kalami; they're not even worth their attention.

If it's not a business matter, then it must be a personal matter.

The greatest possibility is offending people.

Li Weihai and Zeng Min thought about it but shook their heads.

They are kind to everyone and are usually very busy, so they shouldn't have offended anyone.

"I'll ask them later," Xu Yue said. "Maybe those people just want to extort some money."

Two hundred thousand?
If you ask for a high price, just pay it back on the spot.

There are quite a few businesses that want to settle things quietly.

Is he really just trying to extort some money?

Xu Yue didn't think so.

However, the specific reason will have to wait for the interrogation results.

The results came out very quickly.

Those people weren't there to extort money; they were hired.

"Do you know me?"

Xu Yue and Li Weihai went to the police station.

The hired person was naturally "invited" to come.

“Qiu Kai!” Li Weihai said coldly, “My former classmate!”

"Ok?"

Xu Yue looked at Li Weihai with a somewhat bewildered expression.

“Our relationship wasn’t exactly good during our school days, but it wasn’t bad either,” Li Weihai said. “We didn’t have any conflicts at a recent class reunion. Why?”

Li Weihai found it somewhat difficult to understand.

Why would a classmate with whom you have a fairly good relationship do this?
