Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

Two days later, in a remote border town.

The typhoon swept through Z City, causing a large-scale power outage throughout the town, and many people were outside clearing away debris.

"This typhoon is really strong. We've been without power for two days, and all the new variety of pineapples I planted outside were blown away."

"Look at my banana trees, several acres of land are completely ruined!"

"Hey, Xihe is so clever, she's rented out all her land."

The people outside the courtyard walked away chatting.

Inside the courtyard, Cheng Xihe was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea.

Several nannies were cleaning the yard not far away.

Bai Ce, dressed in a black tracksuit, had a fawning smile on his face: "Boss, after this yard is finished, will we just leave it here?"

Cheng Xihe grew up with her maternal grandmother, and this courtyard is where she lived since childhood.

It was also a keepsake left to her by her grandmother.

"Leave a few brothers here to watch over this place, lest some foolish rats get in."

Cheng Xihe was still bothered by what had happened a few days ago.

The thief took the bullet and disappeared.

When their people arrived at the hospital, they couldn't even find where the surgery had been performed.

The location displayed is drug residue.

"By the way, boss, the mayor sent an important document yesterday."

Bai Ce handed the document to Cheng Xihe: "It seems to be the compensation plan from Xinghe Holiday. They plan to acquire the entire town."

We will collaborate with all the residents of our town to create a star tourist town and boost the surrounding economy.

"Hmm? So you're willing to take a loss?"

Cheng Xihe's maternal grandmother used to be the town's mayor; she was a retired cadre who had been developing her hometown all these years.

The new varieties of crops they grow are all provided by Cheng Xihe, and her maternal grandmother has been actively developing them.

The town has become much wealthier as a result.

The current town mayor trusts Cheng Xihe a lot and always asks her to review important decisions first.

Bo Ce nodded: "That's right. If you ask me, I wouldn't invest in a place that gets hit by typhoons several times a year."

"Let me take a look at the proposal."

Cheng Xihe flipped through it and then looked at the terms: "I don't have any problems with this. You can take it to Fu Lu to take a look."

If there are no problems, let Grandpa Mayor convene a meeting with the village chiefs from several villages to discuss it.

Typhoons blow frequently here; the profits from farming alone aren't as great as this.

Cheng Xihe knew that they valued tangible benefits more, and that developers could provide a satisfactory amount of money before development.

It will improve the villagers' quality of life.

"The crops will be preserved, but the main focus will be on developing some unique features, perhaps building a small town for tourists."

Boze places great importance on this aspect.

"Alright, you can leave now that you're done packing."

After sending the nanny away, Bai Ce sat down next to Cheng Xihe: "Boss, what about this yard of ours..."

"The courtyard was left by my maternal grandmother. It's not for sale, not for rent, and not for any other purpose." Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow and put down her teacup.

She couldn't bear to waste the things her grandmother left her.

Bai Ce nodded: "Boss, there are a few more things to report. Let's skip the meeting on Monday after we finish."

"Speak." Cheng Xihe poured Bai Ce a cup of tea.

Bai Ce looked flattered.

"First, the person who stole the Chronos disappeared, and the transmitter on the potion box was last seen at the border between City A and City B."

When our people arrived, the box had been discarded, and the signal transmitter had been dug out.

The little gadget was so well hidden that when they arrived, it was all broken and in pieces.

"Keep chasing."

Bai Ce took out his computer and opened the order backend: "The second thing is that someone has posted a large sum of money on the Spider Web seeking medical treatment."

The search is for clues about the legendary healer Yunshan Ke and his disciple, Ghost Hand.

Yunshan Ke and his disciple Guishou have always been on the list of famous figures, and many people are seeking clues about them.

"I won't reply."

Cheng Xi waved his hand irritably: "Is there anything else?"

"Um."

Scratching his head, Bai Ce handed Cheng Xi a beat-up cell phone:

"President Qin has called you more than a dozen times."

"President Qin?"

Cheng Xihe was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately: "What, President Qin?"

"Mr. Qin from City A, your father."

Bo Ce explained, "As you requested, I did not answer his calls."

The other party should make a move in a couple of days.

"Father?"

Cheng Xihe gave a cold laugh.

After her mother passed away, her adoptive father did all sorts of bad things.

They separated her from her twin sister, packed up her belongings like junk, and threw them at her grandmother's house.

From then on, the man never paid attention to her life.

The so-called father only sends money every month, and the amount is getting smaller and smaller. In the last two years, he hasn't sent a single penny.

It's no surprise that the entire Qin family is controlled by that woman who has entered the household; she probably has the whole family under her absolute control.

Cheng Xihe's eyes darkened.

"It was indeed President Qin's call."

Bai Ce glanced at Cheng Xihe cautiously.

Cheng Xihe rubbed his temples: "We haven't been in touch for years, what does it mean to call me now?"

Unexpected concern is often driven by ulterior motives.

"have no idea."

Cheng Xihe took a sip of tea: "I guess it's because this cheapskate father of mine found out I got into A University, and he can't sit still anymore, right?"

"Perhaps, he made quite a few phone calls in a row."

Bai Ce opened his phone and saw a series of red messages, all of which were missed calls.

Cheng Xihe calmly flipped through the pages, then casually tossed his phone aside: "Book me a ticket. I'm going back to City A tomorrow."

"Boss, flights and high-speed trains are suspended these days. How about we go in a few days?" Bai Ce suggested cautiously.

Cheng Xihe shook his head: "I received the news that it will be restored this afternoon, so I'll take this opportunity to go back."

"OK!"

"Snap!"

When Bai Ce picked up his phone, he discovered that not only was the screen cracked, but the frame was also about to fall off.

"Boss, why don't you get a new phone? This one's practically broken, and it needs to be charged three times a day."

"I won't replace this one. I'll just use this opportunity to test that guy." Cheng Xihe's eyes narrowed slightly.

Since they've come knocking, she won't hold back.

Bai Ce couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Their eldest son is such an outstanding person, but the rest of his family members are all clueless.

Who else is in that family? The eldest brother is still willing to go back!

Cheng Xihe is the daughter of the Qin family, a newly wealthy family in City A, but apart from her grandmother and Bai Ce, no one else in this small town knows her identity.

Eighteen years ago, the Qin family had twin daughters.

Cheng Xihe is the older sister, born two minutes earlier than her younger sister.

After her mother passed away twelve years ago, she was left to be raised by her maternal grandmother when she was six years old, and has never returned to City A since.

My younger sister is the only daughter in the Qin family, so she shouldn't have a hard time living there. Her stepmother probably wouldn't dare to treat her badly to her face.

Bai Ce: "Boss, you haven't paid attention to that area for a long time, so you probably won't be familiar with it if you go back now."

"It's okay, I'll call him first and see his attitude."

She really wanted to know what her father was trying to do.

Go back upstairs.

Cheng Xihe stared coldly at the devastation left by the typhoon outside, and dialed a phone...
