Xu Yue said, feeling agitated, "It's him. Should we go over and talk to him?"

Actually, Xu Yue wanted to go herself; she didn't really want Xia Ruo to have any contact with Li Gu right now.

Although their goal was to deal with Lu Zheng, the real reason for doing so was that they wanted to take back the behemoth that was the Xia Group through Lu Zheng.

Xu Yue's thoughts were clear: dealing with Lu Zheng was the means, and the Xia Group was the goal.

However, she was clear about Xia Ruo's thoughts. Xia Ruo might not be able to figure out his purpose in dealing with Lu Zheng now.

His mind was filled with hatred right now.

If we let him continue like this, what will become of us?

Meeting Li Gu might cause trouble.

But she also knew Xia Ruo very well. After what had happened in the past two days, she gradually sensed that Xia Ruo seemed to have other feelings for her.

For example, suspecting her of something.

As a manipulative woman, she knew very well that she absolutely could not continue like this, otherwise it would only harm her.

If Xia Ruo loses his love for her, not only will she be able to take control of the Xia Group, but the wealth and luxury she is currently enjoying will also disappear.

Before it gets into her hands, everything else is irrelevant.

Since Xia Ruo has asked about this matter, she has to see him whether Xia Ruo allows it or not. It's not good to force her at this time, so she might as well do her a favor.

Xia Ruo nodded without saying anything more and walked towards Li Gu.

When Li Gu saw them approaching, a cold smile crept into his heart, though he maintained a cheerful expression on his face.

He then walked over here as well.

Li Gu, that old fox, carefully observed things and, having assumed the dual roles of observer and middleman, saw many things very clearly.

He knew what Xu Yue was thinking. Although he didn't know about the Xia family's situation, he knew that Xu Yue was anxious.

He also knew that Xia Ruo was starting to feel disgusted with him, so he had to make good use of this opportunity.

...

Half an hour later, Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang had both gotten out of bed.

After the two finished packing and told the company, they came straight here.

When they arrived, the usual tourists hadn't arrived yet, but the area outside Mingjia Village was already packed with electric tricycles, cars, and other vehicles; cars could be seen everywhere.

It was no longer possible for their two cars to get in.

Fortunately, there was another village on one side of Mingjia Village that was demolished. Originally, it was said that this place was going to be developed into a high-rise building, but after the developer demolished this village, the rubble and other debris were cleared away, and even the land was flattened.

But at this point, the developer suddenly disappeared.

There wasn't even a fence here, so it became a huge open space, and many tourists parked their cars here.

However, it's quite far; after parking, you have to walk two miles to get to Mingjia Village.

So although the place is big, not many people park their cars here. But this afternoon, it will be so crowded that there may not be enough space for all the cars.

Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang were not in a hurry. They knew very well that this was a trap set by the old patriarch. He had come here to deal with them.

Since the goal is to deal with these people, it doesn't matter when we arrive or when we come.

They also took the opportunity to come out for a stroll, which is quite rare for them.

With such a lively atmosphere today, shouldn't they take a stroll around too?

Mingxiang pulled Lu Zheng along, smiling as she introduced him to things about this place.

Lu Zheng listened patiently.

The two are truly a match made in heaven.

No matter what, the two of them never got angry.

The two of them always had a friendly and pleasant demeanor.

Mingxiang would sometimes be mischievous towards Lu Zheng.

Although the security captain respected Lu Zheng very much, this was, after all, Mingjia Village, and some of the security guards in the village were still very obsequious to their boss.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng and the others appear here, this man hurriedly went to find the old clan chief.

Some villagers from Mingjia Village were also exchanging flirtatious glances.

Actually, if it weren't for these people, Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang could have treated this place as a vacation, and they would have felt incredibly comfortable.

It's a pity that these people want to cause trouble and disrupt their mood.

Upon hearing the news that Ming Xiang and Lu Zheng had arrived, the old clan chief's eyes immediately lit up, and he sneered, "They've come at the perfect time. If they hadn't come, I would have had to go find them. Come on, let's go pay them a visit."

The old clan chief was very excited after Li Gu agreed to his request last night.

Isn't he just Lu Zheng?

So what if they control the economy of Mingjia Village? No problem! They've partnered with Li Gu; they can just change the name of their products and it'll be a breeze.

What can Lu Zheng do now? Pshaw!

Without his own source of goods, let's see how Lu Zheng manages all those orders he got before.

Would Lu Zheng dare to find a replacement?

He only needs to file a report to bring down his company.

Some time ago, after meeting Lu Zheng, he was very gentle because he was afraid that Lu Zheng would cut off his way out or something.

But now he's not panicking anymore.

Because this gave him hope.

They saw a glimmer of hope in their ability to destroy Lu Zheng.

Not long after, he met Lu Zheng.

However, Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang were still wandering around and did not notice them.

"Hehe, you seem to be having a lot of fun, Lu Zheng. Keep laughing, but you won't be laughing for long."

His eyes turned cold, and he suddenly cleared his throat, calling out towards Lu Zheng, "Lu Zheng!"

After the old patriarch was captured by Lu Zheng, for a long time afterward, whenever he saw Lu Zheng, he would address him as Mr. Lu.

But the fact that he mentioned Lu Zheng today shows that he thinks he's grown up and can finally fly.

The security captain standing to the side sighed inwardly.

This old clan chief is too arrogant. Isn't he just asking for trouble?

I really don't know what's in this old patriarch's head? Is it just mush?

Even a security guard like him knows that arrogance will inevitably lead to disaster.

We must not be too hasty in making a decision until the very last moment.

But does the old clan chief of Mingjia Village, who is in charge, even understand this?

How could he be so stupid?

Mingxiang naturally heard his shout as well. After glancing at Lu Zheng, she sighed softly and said, "They really are something else. They can't even control their temper. They actually came looking for us so quickly?"

Lu Zheng murmured, "We'll have to meet them sooner or later anyway, it doesn't matter whether they come early or late."

Mingxiang muttered, "But I haven't had enough fun with you yet."

She had been looking forward to taking Lu Zheng around, and this was a rare opportunity. The old patriarch was disrupting her plans, and calling him by his name was rather impolite.
