A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

Not long after, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Two people came in: a middle-aged bald man with a big belly and a tall, thin man with glasses.

The two men, one after the other, looked just like the Black and White Impermanence arriving at the door together.

Since the visitor was a guest, Shi Yurou put on a polite smile, stood up to offer her a seat, and then sat down next to Gu Feng.

As for Gu Feng, he didn't even lift his buttocks or lift his eyelids.

This attitude made Village Chief Qian, who was usually aloof and used to being flattered, feel quite uncomfortable.

He cursed inwardly: "Look at you, with your delicate, fair skin, aren't you just a kept man by this woman? You dare to look down on me? You're just asking for trouble!"

But the tall, thin, bespectacled Director Huang was a shrewd fellow.

Seeing that the village chief's expression was not right, she quickly tugged at his sleeve secretly.

While Shi Yurou was calling the waiter to add more bowls, chopsticks, wine, and dishes, she quietly whispered in the village chief's ear, "Village chief, calm down. Don't forget what we're here for. This kind of freeloader isn't worth your time. That would be giving him too much credit. Besides, although this woman surnamed Shi is alluring and seductive, she's still not as good as money. Look at that guy, he looks like he's destined for a bad life. He'll suffer from kidney deficiency and exhaustion sooner or later, dying on this woman's belly. Let's not bother with this kind of person."

Village Chief Qian glared at him angrily, almost blurting out: "If I could really die on this woman's belly, what a blessing that would be! Don't you dare talk like that, you sour grapes."

Before they could finish speaking, Shi Yurou greeted them with a smile, so the two quickly stopped and sat up straight.

Nothing is more important than money, and for the sake of Uncle Qian, even the hot-tempered Village Chief Qian had no choice but to put up with it for now.

After adding more bowls and chopsticks and dishes, the group ate and drank, chatting and exchanging pleasantries for quite a while.

Seeing that Shi Yurou was not asking about the land, Village Chief Qian became restless and kicked Director Huang under the table.

Director Huang immediately understood, cleared his throat, and steered the conversation to the main point: "Mr. Shi, here's the situation. Originally, there were no problems with you renting that piece of land in our village; we've already agreed on all the details. Our village committee has also been actively mobilizing the villagers to relocate..."

"Director Huang, wait a moment." Shi Yurou, feeling a bit overwhelmed, couldn't help but interrupt him. "The place I'm interested in is just a lychee mountain, isn't it? We went to see it together, and even walked around the foot of the mountain. There wasn't a single house there, was there? The land acquisition and fruit tree compensation you mentioned are all written in black and white in the contract. As soon as the contract is signed, I'll transfer the money immediately. What's the point of relocating?"

"Hehe, Boss Shi, you don't know this," Village Chief Qian interjected in broken Mandarin, which was mixed with Cantonese and Hakka accents.

His lecherous eyes kept darting around Shi Yurou. "Although no one lives on Lychee Mountain, there are ancestral graves of two very senior local families there. Now they are determined not to move the graves, which makes things quite troublesome."

"Oh, I see." Shi Yurou responded casually. "If they really don't agree, then let's just forget about it. I think that piece of wasteland in Xizi Village next door is quite nice. Their village committee is also interested in inviting us to build a factory there. That land is relatively flat, so I can save a lot of money on bulldozing."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Qian and Director Huang's expressions changed drastically, and they became visibly nervous.

The bald village chief, Qian, used the act of serving wine as an excuse to kick Director Huang under the table again.

Although the two tried to remain calm, these little actions could not escape the notice of Shi Yurou, who had been through many trials and tribulations in the business world.

"Uh, Mr. Shi, don't be in such a hurry," Director Huang quickly interjected, speaking in a high-sounding manner. "Although those two households were very adamant, saying they wouldn't move their graves or change their burial sites, after the village chief and I patiently and repeatedly persuaded them with reason and emotion, they finally softened their stance somewhat. However, they demanded that we make some compensation. If we can agree to this condition, then the matter should be resolved."

Director Huang kept using "we," which sounded nice, but ultimately, only Shi Yurou would have to pay for the compensation.

"So, how much compensation do you want?" Shi Yurou's face remained calm and expressionless, revealing no emotion.

"It's not a lot, they're asking for... 200,000." Director Huang said, carefully observing Shi Yurou's expression.

Just a hair's breadth away, and Shi Yurou was about to slam her fist on the table. They dare to demand 200,000 yuan just for moving two graves? They might as well just carry the coffins into a bank and rob it!

Seeing that Shi Yurou neither spoke nor expressed her opinion, Village Chief Qian became anxious and kicked Director Huang under the table again.

When Director Huang goes out on business with the village chief, he's destined to be a punching bag, but tonight is especially miserable.

His legs under the table were nearly broken from being kicked, but he had to grit his teeth and endure it, even managing to force a smile that looked more like a grimace as he said to Shi Yurou, "Actually, the village chief and I both felt that the price was too high. So, after repeated negotiations between the two sides, they finally relented and lowered it to 120,000."

Goodness, a 40% discount all at once! This clearance sale is insane!

Shi Yurou remained silent, but her mind was racing with calculations.

She wasn't heartbroken about the 120,000 yuan; she was simply unwilling to be taken advantage of like this.

She knew perfectly well that no matter how much money it was, it would most likely end up in the pockets of those two damn village officials in front of her.

Just as I was hesitating, a person walked past the half-open door of the private room.

The man took two steps forward, then turned back, pushed open the door, and laughed, "Young Master Feng, it really is you! I thought I was seeing things!"

When Village Chief Qian and Director Huang saw the newcomer, they were both stunned at first, and then their faces turned pale.

The person who pushed open the door didn't even notice them; he just smiled broadly and walked straight toward Gu Feng.

Gu Feng, who had been drinking silently without uttering a sound, raised his head and glanced at the newcomer.

Oh, isn't this the indestructible Ah Si?

He simply nodded slightly, as if to say hello.

"Hehe, Young Master Feng, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to also enjoy Hunan cuisine."

Although Gu Feng's reaction was indifferent, Fourth Brother did not take it to heart at all. Instead, he sat down very warmly and poured wine for Gu Feng attentively.

His gaze shifted, and he noticed the woman sitting next to Gu Feng, as well as the bald, fat man and the tall, thin man with glasses opposite him.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, and although Fourth Brother didn't recognize her, he did recognize the two men opposite him who looked exactly like the Black and White Impermanence.

He gave a perfunctory greeting: "Oh? Village Chief Qian and Director Huang are here too."

"Hehe, yes, yes, Fourth Brother, how have you been lately?" Director Huang forced a smile and answered with a stiff smile. Village Chief Qian, however, was ashen-faced and could only nod stiffly. He shifted his position several times, clearly feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Fourth Brother is a gangster; almost everyone of importance in the Longshan area knows him.

Don't let his submissive demeanor in front of Gu Feng fool you; he's quite famous in the Longshan District.

He was far superior to any street thug; he was a leader, the leader of leaders, the so-called big boss.

He had at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, brothers who depended on him for their livelihood, and his influence extended to several towns and nearly a hundred villages.

The village under the jurisdiction of Village Chief Qian and Director Huang happens to be within Fourth Brother's sphere of influence, so they naturally have many interactions on a daily basis.

Logically speaking, someone like Fourth Brother, who's involved in the underworld, should be trying to curry favor with these local bullies, offering them tributes and waiting for their protection.

Unfortunately, Fourth Brother completely ignored them. Because they weren't qualified to speak to him directly.

Given Fourth Brother's current status, he should be at least at the level of town mayor to be worthy of being fawned over.

As for village chiefs and directors, he generally wouldn't even bother to give them a second glance.

Those who usually deal with Village Chief Qian and Director Huang are all subordinates of Fourth Brother.

Some matters were not easy for the village committee to handle, and even the joint defense team was not easy to get involved in, so they all fell to the fourth brother's men.

It could be said that in some matters, Village Chief Qian and his men still had to rely on Fourth Brother's people.

As for the business dealings of Fourth Brother, Village Chief Qian and his men turned a blind eye to them.

Everyone takes advantage of each other, yet there are checks and balances between them.

Fourth Brother usually doesn't go out of his way to offend these bumpkins, but that's not because he can't afford to mess with them, but because he's thinking about "business."

If he really wanted to get rid of one or two village chiefs or directors, it would be a piece of cake for him.

However, Village Chief Qian and his group absolutely do not want to provoke someone like Fourth Brother.

On the surface, they might say they are fine porcelain, while Fourth Brother is just a piece of broken tile, and it's not worth going head-to-head with him.

But deep down, they are afraid.

If you provoke people in the underworld, the consequences will inevitably be chaos and unrest in your home.

If things go wrong, you might not even know how you died in the end.

Originally, Village Chief Qian and Director Huang looked down on Gu Feng from the bottom of their hearts, convinced that he was just a gigolo who lived off women.

Firstly, this boy is extremely handsome, and he is at least seven or eight years older than Shi Yurou.

Secondly, there's his indifferent attitude.

At first, they thought the person was arrogant, but upon further reflection, they "firmly" concluded that he was insecure.

They felt that, given his status, he had no right to speak in such a situation.

However, the appearance of the fourth brother, especially his obsequious and servile manner towards this person, which made them suddenly realize that they had probably misjudged him.

This person is likely someone important.

The extent of his background is currently unclear, but one thing is certain—he is probably not being kept by Shi Yurou.
