Chapter 166: Stab Her

Translator: Lonelytree

A low-key and luxurious black car drove through the main road of the small county.

“Hao ‘Er, so this is Xing Yin County?” Old Master Gong asked curiously.

“Yes, Grandpa!” Gong Tianhao replied.

“Old master, this place isn’t bad, right?” Li Yuanhang said, “Although this county is a little remote from our capital, the transportation isn’t very developed, the standard of living here isn’t that high, the local government is an expert at preserving nature.”

Old Master Gong smiled. “That’s because most poor counties don’t have good transportation. Their industries aren’t developed. Therefore, they have good preservation of the natural environment!”

Nowadays, many developed cities, such as Beijing, were particularly polluted, often causing smog. The fundamental reason was industrialization. The cars and factories caused a lot of pollution. Beijing was infamous for its heavy smog. It caused respiratory infections.

Li Yuanhang said with a smile, “Old master, you’re right. This county is famous for its peaches, but they don’t have a good system to sell them out of the county. Taoyuan Village is especially famous for its peaches. Therefore, if this county is connected to a highway or a railway station, the people here will become rich.”

When Old Master Gong heard this, he thought about it with a frown. “Hao ‘Er, do you plan to invest here?” If Gong Tianhao did that, many other investors would do the same. Gong Tianhao laughed, “Grandpa, I’m indeed considering it!”

Li Yuanhang explained, “Old Master, we’re still investigating if this place is worth investing.” They were businessmen and not charity organizers. The specialty of this county was peaches. However, that was too little to justify investment for the Imperial Group. What were they supposed to do? Build a peach factory to sell peaches?

Old Master Gong nodded. “I didn’t know much about business, but you should be careful.” Then, he thought of something and asked, “I heard that the Jiang family’s kid is here too, right?”

Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “That’s right. Jiang Tao is training here as the chief of the county police station!”

“But shouldn’t he move after three years? Why is he still here?” Old Master Gong asked.

Gong Tianhao said, “The Jiang Family has prepared everything for his return. But he doesn’t seem to want to leave now.”

“Oh? Why?” Old Master Gong asked.

Li Yuanhang said, “Old master, you didn’t know this, but Young Master Jiang took a fancy to a girl here. He’s so happy that he doesn’t want to leave!”

“Oh?” Old Master Gong commented. “The old man from the Jiang Family kept complaining that the Jiang kid is like an iceberg. He only knows how to work. He doesn’t have any extra time to find a girlfriend.

“Well, he sure is lucky now. Maybe when the kid returns, he’d bring back a great-grandson with him!”

“Haha...” Li Yuanhang laughed. “Old master, the girl is not that easily pursued. Young Master Jiang is still working hard.” Even though he had not seen Xiao Lingyu in person, from her parent’s personality and Jiang Tao’s description, they knew Xiao Lingyu wasn’t a person who valued family background.

They arrived at the county and settled at the Gu Family Hotel. When Li Yuanhang drove his car into the parking lot, he realized that there was no parking space. The huge parking lot was full, and many cars there were expensive. It was quite surprising to see so many good cars in such a small county.

“Damn, Tianhao, the parking lot here is full.” Li Yuanhang was really surprised. “Is the business of this hotel so good?”

Of course, it was possible that some big companies had booked the hotel for meetings.

“Tianhao, you should go and check-in with the old master. I’ll go find another parking space!” The hotel didn’t have a valet service. After all, they were in the countryside. Therefore, he had to find his own parking.

Gong Tianhao carefully helped Old Master Gong out of the car. “Grandpa, be careful!”

Old Master Gong got out of the car, and his sharp eyes looked around and said, “This place isn’t bad!” It was clean and comfortable.

“Grandpa, let’s go this way!” Gong Tianhao said.

When Gong Tianhao and Old Master Gong entered the lobby, they were surprised by the large crowds. They were queuing up.

Old Master Gong said, “This hotel has good business.”

Gong Tianhao walked to the front desk, took out an ID card, and said, “Room 8818!”

“Okay, please wait a moment!” The front desk attendant replied politely. He turned on his computer, checked, and said, “Sir, it’s ready. I wish you a pleasant stay!”

Gong Tianhao brought Old Master Gong to his room to rest. But when he passed the filled restaurant, Gong Tianhao frowned. ‘This hotel is full of people. Will this be bad for Grandpa’s rest?’ After they reached the room, he said, “Grandpa, how about we eat first? Then, after some rest, we’ll depart for Taoyuan Village!”

“Okay.” Old Master Gong was also very curious about Taoyuan Village.

Gong Tianhao called the front desk and ordered a few dishes. Most of them were vegetarian.

Old Master Gong’s blood pressure was high, and he needed to maintain his health. He couldn’t eat too much meat.

When Li Yuanhang arrived, the plates were empty... except for small bits of meat. He saw Gong Tianhao and Old Master Gong put down their chopsticks and wipe their mouths elegantly.

Li Yuanhang asked curiously, “Tianhao, are you that hungry?”

There were six empty plates on the table. Gong Tianhao and Old Master Gong were picky eaters. Normally, they would barely finish a plate of food. However, all six plates on the table were cleaned up!

Li Yuanhang had been with Gong Tianhao for a long already, but this was only his second time seeing Gong Tianhao exhibit such a good appetite. The first time was at Taoyuan Village.

Gong Tianhao said calmly, “Yes, I was very hungry!” Then, he tactfully suggested, “You should order the vegetarian dishes. They are good for your body.”

At this time, Old Master Gong said with a smile, “Haha, Xiao Hang, you must be hungry too. Hurry up and order some food. As Tianhao said, you should eat more vegetables. I’m going out for a walk!” Old Master Gong felt refreshed once he had the vegetables. He decided to go for a walk!

Of course, Gong Tianhao had to accompany him.

The confused Li Yuanhang ordered the food in the room. He ordered two meat and one vegetarian dish. He loved to eat meat. When the food arrived, he was hit by the fragrance immediately.

“It smells so good!” Li Yuanhang couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. It seemed to be just an ordinary cole salad.

The waiter nodded. “Bon Appetit!” Then, he left with the dining cart.

After the waiter left, Li Yuanhang picked up a piece of cole with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes lit up with disbelief.

“The taste of this vegetable...” Li Yuanhang looked at the two plates of meat and recalled what Gong Tianhao said. He was hit by regret.

He finally understood why Old Master Gong and Gong Tianhao managed to finish all six plates of dishes. If he had known earlier, he would have ordered all the vegetarian dishes. However, he didn’t order more because he didn’t want to waste food. In the end, there were a few pieces of meat left.

He burped and rubbed his stomach. “It seems like I need to go for a walk too!”

...

Old Master Gong was aged. He felt tired after walking around for a while. He wanted to return to rest. While Old Master Gong was resting, Gong Tianhao and Li Yuanhang walked around the town. They wanted to see if the place was worth investing in or not. They were always thinking about business. It was the reason why Imperial Group managed to grow so big.

When they passed by a remote road, they encountered two other people. There was a man in sunglasses and suit, and a beggar with dirty and messy clothes. At first, Li Yuanhang and Gong Tianhao didn’t pay them much attention. However, they heard the man in the suit say as he took out a picture and showed it to the beggar. “This is Xiao Lingyu. Kill her, and we’ll give you 100,000!”

The beggar was not stupid. He said, “No. I’m not going to die for money.”

“Then injure her with this dagger.” The man in the suit said. “Don’t worry. The police won’t arrest you because you have a mental history.”

‘Xiao Lingyu?’

Gong Tianhao and Li Yuanhang looked at each other.
