In the following days, Ye Chen sent Xie Ding to the county town to inquire about the situation.

Since Liu Zhen went missing, Boss Zheng has also become anxious.

They would send people to Shuangshu Village from time to time to gather information before leaving in a hurry.

Later, Boss Zheng simply closed down the dance hall.

He then completely disappeared without a trace!

In Ye Chen's eyes, Boss Zheng was no big deal. He had fled before in Cat Village for fear of being exposed.

Such a coward would never dare to take revenge on himself.

In this way, all the opponents were eliminated.

Ye Chen can finally rest easy!

As Ye Chen announced that he would make money, the entire Shuangshu Village became lively.

Many merchants from other places who sell clivia heard that there were people in Shuangshu Village buying them in large quantities, and some even delivered them directly to their door!

In the end, about 80% of the villagers believed Ye Chen's explanation and bought some clivia plants to grow at home.

Later, when the crops were harvested, the people of Shuangshu Village simply did nothing but stay at home and take great care of their clivia plants!

It took a week for the matter of acquiring the clivia to gradually subside.

Many villages nearby were talking about it, claiming that Ye Chen had really screwed over the villagers this time.

Those clivia plants are just flowers, they can't be eaten, and nowadays they're priceless and impossible to sell!

Even the sellers are eager to get rid of their stock; what good will it do to keep it until the end of the year?

Rumors spread like wildfire.

But Ye Chen didn't care at all.

After waiting for a full week, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled. Logically speaking, Luo Ling and her group should have already returned.

Even if they stay in the provincial capital for a long time, they will definitely come to deliver the message.

But why is it that a whole week has passed and these people seem to have vanished into thin air?

Ye Chen wanted to contact her, but he didn't know Luo Ling's address, so he could only worry about it in silence.

The next morning, amidst a commotion, news finally arrived from the provincial capital.

"Brother Ye Chen, this is a telegram your sister-in-law sent you!"

The bald man barged into the courtyard, shouting as he did so, carrying a telegram in his hand.

Ye Chen took it, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.

"Ye Chen, we've run into some trouble in the provincial capital. We hope you can get here as soon as possible!"

The telegram ended with an address, but the information was limited. Since they were in trouble, why not just say so?

For a moment, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel worried.

Thinking of the importance of the three women, Ye Chen immediately made up his mind and set off for the provincial capital!

Since there are some things that are inconvenient to say in the telegram, I will go and see for myself what this trouble is all about!

That day, Ye Chen led Tian Cong and the other two straight to the provincial capital.

After a long and arduous journey, we finally arrived at our destination the next morning.

Compared to the county town, the provincial capital is much more lively; as soon as you step out of the station, you see crowds of people.

All sorts of people carried large and small bags; some were shouting to sell their goods, while others were sneaking around in the crowd.

"Be careful, there are a lot of pickpockets at the bus station, don't let anyone steal your money!"

Ye Chen gave a word of advice before pushing his way through the crowd.

Upon arriving at the station, a row of tricycles was parked along the roadside, with the drivers constantly waving to attract customers!

"How much does it cost to go to this place?"

Ye Chen stepped forward and handed the address on the telegram to the other party. The other party glanced at it, then turned around and looked at Ye Chen for a while.

"Bro, are you sure you want to go here?"

"Judging from your clothes, you look like an ordinary person. Did you go to the wrong place?"

"Oh? Is there something strange about this place?" Ye Chen pressed.

The rickshaw driver replied, "That address is where rich people live; they build three-story villas there!"

"Even ordinary people with ten thousand yuan in savings aren't qualified to live there. Anyone who comes out of there is someone who can make a splash in the entire provincial capital!"

Ye Chen had once heard Luo Ling boast about how great her family used to be.

Now it seems that this should be Luo Ling's home. However, Luo Ling's father was sent to a labor camp and has not yet been exonerated.

The house should be sealed off, so how did Luo Ling and the others manage to move in?

"Let's go check it out first!" Ye Chen nodded, realizing there was something fishy about it.

The driver immediately replied, "Then it's settled. If you admit you've made a mistake when we arrive, I won't refund your money!"

"Fare is 50 cents, pay first before you pick up passengers!"

Ye Chen didn't bother with any words and simply took out some change from his pocket. The driver took the money and immediately beamed with joy. He quickly helped the four people onto the back of the tricycle and then started pedaling hard.

A short while later, the tricycle carrying the four people arrived at a riverbank.

A row of three-story Western-style buildings stood along the river. From a distance, Ye Chen thought he had returned to his previous world.

Shaking his head, Ye Chen regained his senses, only to find that the tricycle had already stopped in front of a Western-style building.

"We're here, brothers. Should I wait here for you?"

"If you've mistaken the place and made a fool of yourself, I can take you back, but that'll cost extra!"

"No need!" Ye Chen waved his hand in response to the driver's solicitous offer.

At that moment, in his line of sight, he saw three women sitting at a table in the courtyard in front of the Western-style building, drinking tea from their teacups.

It was Tian Xiaohui, Qian Jiali, and Luo Ling!

Now that the three of them have shown up, there can be no mistake!

"Ye Chen, you've arrived!"

Ye Chen immediately stepped forward, and Tian Xiaohui was the first to react, exclaiming in surprise.

"You're lucky you have a conscience. The telegram was just sent out, and you're here the next day. If you dared to delay, believe me, we'd kick you out!"

Luo Ling crossed her arms, her expression exceptionally haughty.

Then, he turned around and gestured towards the Western-style building behind him.

"I told you long ago, my family used to be capitalists! How about that? You've learned something new now, haven't you?"

"My father has now been exonerated, and all the family's houses and properties have been returned to their rightful owners!"

"Ye Chen, considering you've been quite good to me these past few months, I'll take care of you from now on!"

As Luo Ling finished speaking, she leaned forward and patted Ye Chen's shoulder with a rather smug look on her face!

Ye Chen touched his nose dejectedly, never expecting that one day he would be kept by a rich woman!

"Where is my uncle? I met him once before. Now that he has finally made it through, I must see him again."

Ye Chen quickly replied.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a burst of hearty laughter came from behind the three women.

"Hahaha, Ye Chen, if you hadn't saved me back then, I probably wouldn't be alive today!"

"Ye Chen, we finally meet again. You're practically my savior; thank you so much for what happened before!"

Luo Ling's father, Luo Guanzhong, wearing a Zhongshan suit, walked out of the Western-style building.

Although he was physically weak due to his years of labor reform, his overall demeanor remained superior to others.
