Chapter 1263 Manager Guo knows me
As soon as Steward Guo said this, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng both understood.
Sure enough, the buyer was the owner of that brothel.
If it wasn't him, Manager Guo could have simply denied it. As long as he didn't specify which company it was, it wouldn't be considered as revealing the buyer's information.
There's no point in asking any further now; it's obvious that Manager Guo won't sell the manor to them.
Meng Yunzheng stood up. "In that case, we've disturbed you. Farewell."
Shu Yu muttered a few words under her breath, "Why are you in such a hurry? I still want to ask what my future neighbor is like. I might have to deal with him in the future."
Meng Yunzheng pushed her out, saying, "Alright, you'll know once they move in, won't you? Mr. Guo doesn't want to say much, so let's not make things difficult for him."
Manager Guo simply smiled and apologized a few times before seeing them to the door and then having the waiter who had brought them there escort them down the mountain.
Once Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yuyi were out of sight, Steward Guo's smile vanished abruptly.
He frowned, called over a subordinate, and whispered, "Go contact Master Miao and tell him that I agreed to his price and the manor and hill have been sold to him."
The subordinate was taken aback. "But the price they offered is too low, we..."
"There's nothing we can do about it. I never expected Meng Yunzheng to have designs on this manor. I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but this is a bit troublesome."
The subordinate was still a little confused. "But even if we sell it to Master Miao, if Young Master Meng wants to buy it later, he can just buy it from Master Miao. It's the same thing."
"That's different. We all know what Master Miao intends to do with this manor. By then, its reputation will be ruined. If you were a respectable family, would you spend a fortune to buy such a place?"
Besides, Master Miao is not an easy person to talk to, and he is extremely satisfied with this manor.
Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately agreed, "I will go find Master Miao right away."
Manager Guo waved his hand, "Go."
The subordinate waited until Shu Yu and the others had left for quite a while before coming down the mountain.
Not far from the mountain, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng both frowned.
Meng Yunzheng said in a low voice, "When I heard the news in the prefectural city, I immediately set off back. From the time I saw you to the time I met Steward Guo at the manor, it was only half an hour. In such a short time, the manor could not have been sold."
Shu Yu nodded in agreement, "Besides, judging from the situation at the manor, it's been completely cleared out. Once the manor is sold, Steward Guo should leave. Why are there still two people guarding this bamboo forest halfway up the mountain, leading us up there after hearing that we wanted to buy the manor?"
"Manager Guo seems to know me."
Meng Yunzheng narrowed his eyes slightly; it wasn't surprising that he knew Shu Yu.
The black market is right next to the sunflower farm. The estate there has a new owner, so it's impossible for the black market owners not to know.
But Meng Yunzheng has always kept a low profile and has almost never appeared here. Even in Jiangyuan County, he rarely shows his face.
The expression on Manager Guo's face when he first saw them was quite subtle.
Shu Yu looked up at him. "So, he's targeting you? He doesn't want to sell the manor to you. Why is that?"
Meng Yunzheng turned to look at the hilltop, shook his head, and was somewhat puzzled. "Over the years, if we're talking about who we've had grudges against, it's only the Gong family. Now that the Gong family has fallen, who else could it be?"
