Heilongjiang Province, Longjiang City.
Inside a large village.
This village is called Lüjia Village.
The surname Lü is the most common in Lüjia Village, with over 90% of the village's population bearing this surname, which is also the origin of the name Lüjia Village.
The village chief of Lüjia Village is named Lü Shifang, who is also the patriarch of the Lü clan.
now.
The large courtyard of Lü Shifang's family.
Two middle-aged men were sitting cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), drinking and talking.
"Shiyang, you've had a hard time on this trip. Have you investigated the source of the medicinal wine?"
Lu Shifang raised his glass and clinked it against Lu Shiyang's, then asked.
Upon hearing this, Lü Shiyang nodded: "Brother, we've investigated everything. The source of this medicinal wine is in Yangdong Province!"
"Yangdong Province?"
Lu Shifang frowned slightly: "Those three martial arts families in Yangdong Province could not possibly possess such a secret formula!"
"Brother, this secret recipe didn't come from the Wei, Sun, or Qin families, but from a young man named Gao Yan!"
At this point, he picked up the wine bottle, filled his glass, took a sip, and continued, "That Gao Yan is no ordinary person either. He is over twenty years old and already possesses the strength of the peak of the Transformation Realm. In addition, his master is also a Dan Jin expert. However, we haven't been able to find out the specific level of Dan Jin yet because we haven't had enough time!"
"It's just Dan Jin, our Lü family has plenty of those!"
Lu Shifang sneered, "We must get our hands on this secret formula as soon as possible, otherwise it will be much more difficult once the Ouyang family and those other powerful families in the south realize what's going on!"
Indeed, the Lü family is one of the two super martial arts families in the north.
However, the Lü family is different from other aristocratic families. They have always existed in the form of a village. Lü family women do not marry out, and the sons-in-law who are brought in will also change their surname to Lü.
Therefore, 90% of the people in Lüjia Village have the surname Lü.
As for the remaining ten percent, it was simply because they didn't want Lüjia Village to stand out too much, so they deliberately arranged for people with different surnames to be there!
"Brother, such a precious secret recipe is probably not easy to obtain!"
Lü Shiyang looked troubled.
"We have to get our hands on it, even if we can't. With this secret formula, our Lü family will surely prosper for hundreds of years to come!" A fierce glint flashed in Lü Shifang's eyes. "Take some men to negotiate first. If Gao Yan is willing to hand over the secret formula, that would be great. If that brat is not sensible, just grab him and force him to reveal the secret formula. As for the Dan Jin behind him, I'll have Fifth Uncle personally go there!"
"Wouldn't it be... to send Fifth Uncle to handle this?"
Lu Shiyang said with some worry, "This Fifth Uncle is already a dead man in this world. He is mainly hiding to avoid being targeted. But if the Fifth Uncle makes a move, then he probably won't be able to hide anymore!"
"If it were a normal matter, we wouldn't need Fifth Uncle to handle it, but this concerns the prosperity of my Lü family for the next few hundred years. Even if it's exposed, it doesn't matter, since there are already quite a few people who suspect that Fifth Uncle is not dead!"
Hearing what Lü Shifang said, Lü Shiyang didn't try to persuade him any further, and nodded: "Alright, brother, I'll set off with men tomorrow morning. Will Fifth Uncle come with me?"
"No need, Fifth Uncle will go secretly, and we'll try our best not to expose ourselves!" Lü Shifang shook his head.
"Understood, brother!"
Lü Shiyang nodded.
"Alright, now that we've finished talking business, let's have a good drink tonight, you two brothers!"
"Haha, I'll risk my life to accompany you!"
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
The next morning around 9 a.m.
Gao Yan received a call from Qian Bao'er.
The two then drove separately to the Jinjiang Hotel.
Zuo Xiaolei was used to living in a big villa, so she naturally didn't feel comfortable living in the house left by Qian Bao'er's grandfather. She even felt it was unlucky.
Therefore, during her stay in Nandu, she stayed in a high-end suite at the Jinjiang Hotel.
“Let’s go up first, I’ve already called her!” Qian Bao’er took Gao Yan’s arm.
"No rush!" Gao Yan waved his hand, "Let's go sit in the hall for a while."
Gao Yan took Qian Bao'er to the tea room in the hotel lobby, asked the waiter to bring a pot of black tea, and then sent Qian Bao'er the intelligence that Hong Huang had investigated so that she could take a look.
With some doubt, Qian Bao'er began to read the intelligence report, and her expression grew increasingly grim, until finally, anger appeared on her face.
She looked up at Gao Yan: "Is this all true?"
Gao Yan did not answer directly, but said, "This matter is not difficult to investigate. Song Guolong is, after all, the richest man in Bincheng. Almost everyone knows about his stupid son."
Your stepfather's company has serious problems, and most people can't help him. Therefore, Song Guolong is his lifeline. Although Song Guolong's son is mentally challenged, Song Guolong is unwilling to marry an ordinary daughter-in-law.
Otherwise, even if someone were a fool, given Song Guolong's wealth and influence, plenty of girls would be willing to marry into the Song family.
Over the years, finding a suitable wife for his mentally challenged son has become a major worry for Song Guolong. If your stepfather helps him solve this problem, out of gratitude, Song Guolong will also help him out of his predicament. Furthermore, because of this in-law relationship, your stepfather's career could even take off!
Qian Bao'er suppressed her anger and asked in confusion, "Hasn't Song Guolong thought about remarrying? At his age, he could easily have another son, right?"
Gao Yan said, "This Song Guolong is a womanizer. Although he is the richest man in Bincheng, he has never touched a woman since his wife died. Moreover, his mentally challenged son is the fruit of his love with his wife. If he marries and has another child, his mentally challenged son will probably not have a good ending in the struggle for the family property!"
"I see!" Qian Bao'er exclaimed in realization.
"Now that you know the truth, do you still want to talk to your mother?" Gao Yan asked, looking at Qian Bao'er.
