Chapter 432 Going with the Flow
The next day at noon.
"Young Madam, all the corn seedlings that were doused with kerosene have been cleaned up and will not affect all the crops in the field." Xu Pinggui said after entering the study.
Lin Mo nodded, "That's fine.
Have someone keep a close eye on it. This is the critical period for corn growth. We're worried someone might do something sneaky and ruin the hard work of Old Song and the others over the past few months. We absolutely can't let them take advantage of us."
What happened last night sounded the alarm for her.
After all, there are many people who secretly want to bring them down, so they have to be on guard.
It seems that Qi Zhengfei can’t rest now, he has to get busy.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mo told Xu Pinggui about asking Qi Zhengfei to train a group of people to patrol day and night.
Now that they have formed a preliminary scale here, patrols need to be arranged.
And someone has to keep an eye on the top of the mountain at night.
Once there is any sign of trouble, people in high places are most likely to notice it.
Xu Pinggui also felt that it was time to start training, so the two of them began to discuss this matter.
After confirming these things, Xu Pinggui looked at Lin Mo:
"Young Madam, I will confirm the details with Qi Zhengfei.
But are you sure the Zhang family's head will come?"
Ping'an sent back the news that the head of the Zhang family did not set out for Yuancheng, but instead went to handle business as usual.
So, he was a little unsure.
The head of the Zhang family didn't have any worries at all. Did he really care about Zhang Tiancheng, his only child?
He was skeptical.
Lin Mo chuckled, "Didn't you hear the eldest son say last night that he's the only child? Do you think he'll come?"
Xu Pinggui thought about it and decided that if it were him, he would go there no matter what.
So I was worrying for nothing.
Lin Mo's face flashed with a meaningful look, "Entertain Zhang Tiancheng well. I think his father will come over one or two nights. When you have time, you can chat with him."
Seeing Xu Pinggui's confusion, Lin Mo shook her head, "The Zhang family is testing our bottom line."
Xu Pinggui was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I know what to do."
After Xu Pinggui left, Lin Mo picked up the Zhang family's information on the table and continued to study it.
The Zhang family and the He family had a partnership, but they had a falling out a few months ago.
The reason for the falling out was related to them to a certain extent. The cousin of the head of the Zhang family, Zhao, was He Minhao's stepmother.
After He Minhao's biological father He Jin recovered from his illness, he took back the management rights of the He family from Zhao.
And from then on, the business between the Zhang family and the He family was cut off.
In addition, at that time, a group of elderly people from the He family passed away, and these people secretly came to the Zhang family.
Because of this, with someone who knew how to raise horses, the Zhang family's ambition grew and they wanted to build their own horse farm.
But building a horse farm is not that simple. In addition to the venue and breeding staff, the most important thing is fodder.
This is also the reason why Zhang Tiancheng wanted to buy these corn stalks.
I'm afraid Zhang Tiancheng accidentally discovered that horses would eat these corn stalks, so he came up with this idea.
So she really couldn't be blamed for framing Zhang Tiancheng. It was all his own fault, and she just went along with it.
In addition, the He family is really interesting. So many horse breeders were taken away, but they didn't say anything.
Are you afraid of the Zhang family?
But in terms of strength, the Zhang family is no match for the He family.
Is it because of the Zhao family?
Perhaps the He family had some leverage over the Zhang family, so they didn't dare to cause trouble for the Zhang family.
Lin Mo became curious.
She thought for a moment, then called Xu Qing in and asked him to deliver a letter to Xu Ping'an, asking him to investigate He's stepmother, Zhao. Perhaps they would have unexpected gains.
…
Just as Lin Mo guessed, the Zhang family really waited for two days before heading to Yuancheng.
Moreover, after arriving in Yuancheng, the Zhang family did not visit Lin Mo immediately, but instead wandered around Yuancheng.
When Lin Mo received the news, he just raised his eyebrows and did not express any opinion.
Zhang Liming, the head of the Zhang family, was able to develop a small, insignificant family to its current size. Although it was due to the help of the He family, it was more because of him.
If Zhang Liming is a hopeless person, no matter how others help him, he may not be able to succeed.
So Zhang Liming is by no means a simple person.
He looked around just to see if he could afford to offend the Xu family.
besides……
A gleam of light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. He was also considering what to do to benefit him the most.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo shook his head at Xu Pinggui and said, "Don't worry about what he does. Just send someone to secretly watch him."
Then he stopped caring about it and got busy with other things.
Since Old Xu is not around, she has a lot to do.
As for Zhang Liming, he was walking slowly in Yuancheng with Lao Zhang and another confidant.
Zhang Liming is a businessman and he saw the Xu family's future plans at a glance.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Why didn't we find such a good place before?
Now all the money has gone to the Xu family. Also, the Xu family has a really sharp eye. They can even find a place like this."
Old Zhang looked confused.
But he was not interested in these things, and was more worried about the young master.
Seeing that Zhang Liming had no intention of going to Xu's house, he couldn't help but feel anxious:
"Master, would you like to go to the Xu family to rescue the young master first, and then take a closer look after you come back?"
After all, the young master has been in the hands of the other party for three days. I don’t know if the young master has been tortured?
Zhang Liming shook his head, "No rush.
Don't worry, the Xu family detained him not to take his life, but to lure me here.
So his life will not be in danger, at most he will just be detained for a few more days.
Now I think it’s not necessarily a bad thing to let him suffer a little more, so that he doesn’t become ignorant of his own limitations and dare to offend anyone and do anything.”
Let him be mean and clumsy, and he will hit a wall.
Zhang Liming also intended to take this opportunity to teach his eldest son a lesson, so that he would not commit suicide one day.
Since he said so, Lao Zhang naturally couldn't say anything and could only step aside and follow.
Zhang Liming didn't say anything either, but continued to observe everything around him. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
We really can't make enemies with the Xu family.
If you make an enemy of the Xu family, you will be the only one who will be in trouble.
After walking for a long time, Zhang Liming realized that they had almost finished their journey, so he turned around and walked towards the Xu family's house.
Zhang Liming agreed with the idea of building the Xu family's house on the other side of the river.
Separating from this place will better protect yourself and your family, and avoid involving innocent people. This is the wisest thing to do.
However, when Zhang Liming looked up and saw a looming figure halfway up the mountain, his heart skipped a beat.
The Xu family is really difficult to deal with.
There is no foolproof plan when facing them, and the ones who will probably die are those who come to cause trouble.
If he guessed correctly, the mountain behind their house was probably full of traps.
The Xu family came prepared.
Soon Zhang Liming knocked on the door of the Xu family. The moment the door opened, Xu Qing, who was guarding the door, immediately made a gesture to invite him in.
Zhang Liming was surprised. Why did they invite him in without even asking about his identity? Weren't they afraid of running into enemies seeking revenge?
As soon as he asked this, Xu Qing looked at him strangely:
"An enemy who came to look for you?
Are you sure they can make it this far? Or do you think the Xu family's servants are all vegetarians?
As for the generosity of letting you in, it's because your son is in our hands. I don't think you'd dare to act rashly unless you don't want your son's life."
Zhang Liming looked calm, it seemed that they knew his identity.
He shook his head. "Where is your young lady? I want to see her."
"Follow me." Xu Qing glanced at them, turned around and walked forward.
After he brought the people to the hall, he asked them to wait in the hall while he went to call someone.
Zhang Liming nodded to indicate that he could leave, and then he drank the tea brought by the servant.
When he finished his tea and no one came, Zhang Liming frowned. It seemed that the other party wanted to give him a warning.
It seems that the young lady of the Lin family is really as stingy and fussy as the rumors say.
I didn't come to visit her as soon as I arrived, but she was vindictive towards me and delayed coming to see me.
Women are short-sighted.
If Lin Mo knew what he was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes at him and say, "Stop flattering yourself."
At this time, Lin Mo was busy dealing with some things, so she did not go to see Zhang Liming immediately.
No one else is in a hurry anyway, so why should I be in a hurry?
After all, when they arrived, no one came to save his son immediately.
Therefore, it took her half an hour to finish her work.
Only then did Lin Mo take Xu Qing to the hall to meet people.
When she arrived, the hall was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Seeing Zhang Liming sitting still with his eyes squinted, Lin Mo's mouth curled up. She was too lazy to say anything, so she walked straight to the seat of honor and finally sat down.
When she appeared, Zhang Liming noticed her. With such aura, apart from the young lady of the Xu family, no other woman in this area could have such aura.
When the other party didn't speak, Zhang Liming knew that the other party was dissatisfied with him, so he stood up and said, "Mrs. Xu."
He did not insist on being stubborn with Lin Mo. After all, he came to beg the other party to release his son.
As the saying goes, if you want to ask for help from others, you naturally have to lower your own posture.
"Please sit down." Lin Mo said calmly, "Boss Zhang, right?
I almost thought you didn't want your son anymore and was thinking about what to do with him."
After saying that, he didn't give Zhang Liming a chance to speak and directly asked Xu Qing to bring Zhang Tiancheng over.
Zhang Liming on the side smiled bitterly, "Mrs. Xu, you're joking. He's my son after all. How could I not care about him?
If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of his father. I apologize to Madam Xu for his foolish behavior."
"If apologies were useful, what would the government do?" Lin Mo glanced at him and sneered:
"So there's no need to apologize."
Zhang Liming's heart sank. When he knew that the other party asked him to come, he guessed that the other party wanted to blackmail him.
Today, it seems that this person will be punished severely.
Soon Zhang Tiancheng was brought up.
Zhang Tiancheng was extremely sleepy at this moment. He felt as if the past two days were passing by like a year.
They didn't let him sleep at all. People took turns coming to talk to him. He wanted to sleep but couldn't. This feeling was almost driving him crazy.
He looked forward to his father's coming day and night.
So when he saw his father, he forced his eyelids to fight and rushed over, "Dad, you're finally here!"
The next second...
