Yan Yue met Yan Shihui the next day after returning to Zhongjing.

There was no smoke of gunpowder as the outside world speculated, and the two people who met each other looked very calm. Yan Shihui looked at Yan Yue deeply for a few times, as if he didn't know him. Yan Yue looked calm and let his father look at him casually. At this point, no matter what Yan Shihui thought, Yan Yue no longer cared.

After a long silence, Yan Shihui spoke first, "Why did you come back?"

Yan Yue curled his lips slightly, "I heard Yan Hai said that he wanted to kick me out of the Yan family, so I came back to move my household registration out to avoid making things difficult for my father."

His tone was mocking, but Yan Shihui endured it again and again, "Are you blaming me for being partial?"

Yan Yue shook his head unexpectedly, "I thought about this when I was young, but later I didn't care."

Yan Shihui stared at Yan Yue's expression, trying to judge his true thoughts. In the past, Yan Shihui didn't care what Yan Yue thought, but now he wanted to know and couldn't see Yan Yue's mind. He felt that his dignity was offended, and this was not the first time. From Yan Yue's hiding from him that he stayed in the country, to suddenly selling the Yin family's shares, Yan Shihui was angry that he had lost control of Hepu, but he was even more angry that he had lost control of Yan Yue.

Yan Shihui's life has been smooth sailing since he was a child. His only failure was his marriage to Yin Qinglan. After that, he never tasted failure again, whether in life or business. It's not that no one has given him advice on Yan Yue's arrangement, but he is used to controlling everything and feels that he can control his son. But what he didn't expect was that it was his son, whom he thought he could control, who dealt him a fatal blow.

Yan Shihui said coldly: "You sold the Yin family's shares to Chen Xiuyuan, don't you feel guilty at all? Are you going to watch your grandfather's hard-earned foundation destroyed in your own hands?"

"What is there to feel guilty about?" Yan Yue met Yan Shihui's gaze with a stern look. "Father knew Yan Hai's qualifications, but he still wanted to hand Hepu over to him. Isn't this destroying Hepu? Since father doesn't care about grandfather's hard work, why should I care?"

"In the end, you're still blaming me for being biased." Yan Shihui said angrily.

Yan Yue paused, the corner of his mouth curled up, "Really not. It's just that whether I want something or not is my own business, and I don't like others to snatch it from me. In this case, then no one should ask for it."

Yan Shihui finally understood Yan Yue's thoughts. "How long have you been planning this?"

"What about father? How long has father been planning this?"

The two of them were at loggerheads, and for the first time, Yan Shihui felt that he had never seen his son clearly.

After Yan Yue left Yan Shihui, he met Yan Hai outside. He didn't even bother to glance at Yan Hai, and simply treated him as air. Yan Hai was furious, but he didn't have the courage to catch up with Yan Yue and say a few harsh words. Apart from daring to shout a few words behind Yan Yue's back, he was always a quail in front of Yan Yue.

Looking at Yan Yue's back from a distance, Yan Hai suddenly thought of Yin Ya. Yin Ya once laughed at him for not having the guts to stand up to Yan Yue, but what happened? Yin Ya was so arrogant that Yan Yue put her in jail. When Yan Hai thought of this, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He shook his head, pulled himself together, and ran into the house. Seeing his father, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what is Yan Yue doing here?"

Yan Shihui's attitude towards Yan Hai became much calmer. "Where have you been again?"

Yan Hai showed off, "Dad, don't you want to go to Fengcheng to get some land? I asked around, and there are a lot of vacant land in Fengcheng now, but they're all in the suburbs. The only area in the city that can be developed is the South City. The infrastructure there is backward, and many residents are waiting to be relocated."

As the miracles of Fengcheng spread, along with the tourism boom, there was also an investment boom. Among various investments, real estate is obviously the most profitable one. Many companies in Zhongjing have already planned to acquire land in Fengcheng, and Hepu is no exception. Yan Shihui attaches great importance to this and regards it as a turnaround. Having lost his status as a major shareholder, he must make money with shareholders in order to gain support if he wants to secure his position as chairman.

Yan Shihui was not confident in handing over such a big task to Yan Hai. Yan Hai was unwilling to accept this and had been actively working during this period, gathering information everywhere with the help of a bunch of friends, just to make Yan Shihui look at him with a higher regard.

He spoke in a very convincing manner, and Yan Shihui became interested. "South City? The area where the underground is rumored to have been mined out?"

Yan Hai nodded quickly and explained, "It used to be a problem when the ground was mined, but who cares about it now? I heard that people and animals can evolve if they live in Fengcheng for a long time, and now people are rushing to buy houses in Fengcheng. What's the big deal about the mining? Just add more cement when laying the foundation, and the cost will definitely be recovered."

It was obvious that Yan Hai had put in a lot of effort and spoke very logically. Yan Shihui had consulted professionals before, and the advice they gave was to put more cement in the goaf to support the foundation. Yan Shihui made up his mind and was ready to go all out to win the first development project in Nancheng. He absolutely could not miss this opportunity.

There are many people who share the same idea as Yan Shihui. Fengcheng is now a big golden pie, and everyone wants to take a bite. Yan Yue has only been back for two days, and he has heard many familiar names preparing to enter the real estate industry in Fengcheng.

He called Ye Kang and asked, "How is it going? Have you convinced the old man?"

The Ye family is also one of the people who are optimistic about the real estate market in Fengcheng. They have strong financial resources and Yecheng as a natural backer. It can be foreseen that if the Ye family makes a move, no company will be able to compete. Old Master Ye returned the favor and specifically asked Yan Yue to invest together, but was rejected by Yan Yue. Not only did he refuse, he also suggested that Ye Kang persuade Old Master Ye to give up the plan. Ye Kang was puzzled, but Yan Yue did not explain much. Out of trust in Yan Yue, Ye Kang followed Yan Yue back to Zhongjing. He now has a say in front of the old man, so he must try to see if he can make the old man give up the plan.

After receiving Yan Yue's call, Ye Kang first complained about his grandfather's stubbornness for a long time, and finally said: "Grandfather may have loosened up. He attaches great importance to your attitude. Your one word of disapproval is much better than my long words. But Ah Yue, why are you not optimistic about the development of Fengcheng Real Estate?"

Yan Yue avoided the question as usual, "You'll know when the time comes."

"Get lost!" Ye Kang was obviously not satisfied with his answer.

Yan Yue laughed. As it was related to his plan, Yan Yue couldn't explain it clearly to Ye Kang. There was only one reason why he was not optimistic about the real estate development of Fengcheng. The underground of Fengcheng was tangled with willow roots, and there was no way to dig up the soil to lay the foundation. Through the white panel, it can be seen that the roots of the willow trees under the entire Fengcheng are all connected together. It's like a net woven by tree roots, firmly holding the ground of Fengcheng.

Of course, unless there is a white panel like Lu Lingxi, no one would know that the underground of Fengcheng is such a strange scene. The reason why Yan Yue reminded Ye Kang was that he did not want the Ye family's investment to fail, and secondly, he hoped that the Ye family could give the "opportunity" of the land in Nancheng to Hepu.

Yan Yue received news that He Pu was very interested in the real estate market in Fengcheng and had collected a lot of information about the land in Nancheng. And that piece of land was indeed the most suitable piece of land for development in Fengcheng at present. If there was no competition from the Ye family, He Pu would have a great chance of winning the land if he went all out. This result was exactly what Yan Yue wanted to see.

He planned all this not just to make Hepu pay, but to bring out the existence of the big willow tree. The longer the expert group stays in Fengcheng and the more they investigate, the greater the possibility that Lu Lingxi's identity will be exposed. After all, whether it is the abnormality of their residential area, the abnormality of Lingshui Village, or the specialness of micro-horticultural plants, as long as these clues are carefully investigated, those who are interested can always connect them together. If only one of them is related to Xiaoxi, it would be fine, but any of them can be connected to Xiaoxi. Although as long as Xiaoxi refuses to admit it, the expert group may not be able to find any evidence, but Yan Yue is still worried that Lu Lingxi will be targeted by the government in the future.

In order to eliminate Lu Lingxi's suspicion, we have to find a more suspicious person or thing, and the existence of the big willow tree perfectly meets all the requirements.

The changes in Lingshui Village, the special green plants in the micro-gardening garden, the beautification of the community, and the changes in the entire Fengcheng can all be attributed to the "tree god" of the big willow tree. The tangled root system underground in Fengcheng is perfect evidence, not to mention that the direction in which these roots extend is just to the north of the big willow tree, and they will soon connect with the roots of the big willow tree.

When Yan Yue took Lu Lingxi around Fengcheng to purify the soil, he specifically looked for soil that was planted with willow trees, just so that one day he could have something to do with the big willow tree. And things were obviously going better than he expected.

There are too many twists and turns behind these things to explain the causes and consequences. Yan Yue has no way to explain it clearly, and he doesn't intend to explain it to Ye Kang at all. Anyway, when Hepu takes the land for development, everyone will know it.

Since Mr. Ye's attitude had softened, Yan Yue put his worries aside and focused on playing with Lu Lingxi. The two of them traveled almost all over Zhongjing, even climbing Hongye Mountain twice. On this day, Lu Lingxi suddenly had an idea and asked Yan Yue if she wanted to go to the place where he used to go to school.

"primary school?"

Lu Lingxi nodded embarrassedly. Strictly speaking, he had not yet graduated from elementary school.

Yan Yue also thought of this, and hugged Lu Lingxi and said, "If Xiaoxi likes going to school, we can see if there is a suitable school."

"It's not that I like going to school." Lu Lingxi shook his head. "I didn't have the opportunity to go out before, so I hope to see the outside world through school. Now I think life is good, and I don't need to rely on school to change anything." He has no memory of this body, but when chatting with Yi Hang, he often heard Yi Hang complain that they had too much homework to finish and were scolded by the teacher. Lu Lingxi imagined the scene of him going home to do homework every night, and thought about forgetting to go to school.

Yan Yue guessed what Lu Lingxi was thinking, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. But he always indulged Lu Lingxi, and everything was fine as long as Lu Lingxi was happy, and it really didn't matter whether he went to school or not.
