The preparations for returning to Taoyang were almost complete. Su Tao was sitting in a wheelchair listening to Qian Rongrong happily reporting on her gains in Xindu over the past few days.
The proceeds from the auction, the trade fair and all other revenues for the whole of September brought her total assets to a prehistoric peak - more than 87 million federal coins.
The membership fees received at the trade fair also brought the total number of crystal cores to 141.
This should be her richest highlight moment.
Lin Fangzhi neatly stacked more than a hundred crystal cores into a heavy box and showed it to Su Tao.
Su Tao's eyes became hot from watching this.
This will expand a lot of land.
Ma Dapao rubbed his hands and said, "Boss, do you think Panliu Mountain can expand a little? I'm thinking of building a short-term rental building in the back, mainly with one bedroom and one living room. Many people passing by Panliu Mountain would like to rent there short-term. Then I'm also thinking of separating the restaurant into a two-story restaurant, and letting Master Qin bring in a few more apprentices to expand the catering business at Panliu Mountain."
Qian Lin coughed lightly twice and said, "Boss, Wu Zhen and I agree that we can build another orchard. As long as we have enough manpower, we can almost make the whole of Dongyang free with fruit."
Lin Fangzhi glanced at the two of them and followed closely behind: "There's not enough parking space on my side."
Su Tao hugged the crystal core tightly: "Take back your greedy eyes and talk about it when you get back."
At this time, Minister Xu's assistant shouted to them from a distance: "Manager Ma, Miss Su - sorry for the wait, we are here!"
He ran very fast carrying Minister Xu's luggage.
Minister Xu followed him and came closer. He looked at Taoyang and his group, and his eyes finally fell on Su Tao. He smiled bitterly, his lips trembling slightly:
"Miss Su, it seems I must go to Taoyang this time."
Thinking back to when he had rejected her invitation, his face still felt hot when he thought about it now.
I have been looking for my daughter for so long, but I didn’t expect that one day the person who knew the inside story would be right next to me.
But I have to say that fate is really subtle. The first time he saw Su Tao, he thought of his daughter He He, and subconsciously treated Su Tao as a junior.
His kindness was rewarded. If he had been hostile to Tao Yang from the beginning, he would probably still be searching for his daughter all over the world and would be exhausted.
Su Tao understood him very well. She took out the red hat Alice had given her from Fang Zhi's space and handed it to Minister Xu:
"She gave this to me. I've been keeping it, and now it's finally returned to its rightful owner."
Xu Chang was stunned, took it with some trembling, and looked up at Su Tao in disbelief:
"Did she give it to you?"
Su Tao nodded: "She even demonstrated to me that wearing this hat would make people crazy. I was a little scared, but the way she shook her head was very cute."
Because of her words, Xu Chang felt as if he had seen his daughter whom he had not seen for many years, and his heart was burning.
He looked at Su Tao and believed in fate again:
"She treasures this hat very much. Even I can only look at it and touch it, but she gave it to you directly. It shows that she trusts you very much and likes you very much. Thank you, Miss Su."
Su Tao smiled brightly: "You're welcome. You are so lucky to have such a beautiful and lovely daughter. I also envy Alice for having a father like you who has always been with her."
Unlike her, her biological father probably hates her very much now and wishes she could get as far away from her.
As he was speaking, Xiao Wenyu stuck his head out of the car and called out in a very familiar voice:
"Little Peach! Let's go, get in the car and talk!"
Let’s go quickly, she can’t wait!
Su Tao laughed and asked Minister Xu to get in the car.
Leading the team were Xu Qi and a few others. With a whistle, the car headed towards Taoyang.
But they had only been gone for half an hour when Xiao Yu, carrying a backpack, walked around the apartment building for a long time before finally going in and asking:
"Hello, I'm looking for Su from Taoyang—"
The front desk clerk was asked Taoyang countless times throughout the day, all wanting to know the truth about the 60 million vacant land.
Does Taoyang really exist?
Is it really like the rumors that leaked out at the auction, that not only are the housing conditions better than Changjing, but there is also cheap food, free water, and no need to worry about zombie attacks?
Some people even tried to bribe her to take them into the room where the Taoyang people lived to look for clues to the truth.
The receptionist interrupted Xiao Yu and started to take the initiative:
"I just left and am on my way back. Don't ask me if I know what's going on in Taoyang. I really don't know. I'm just like you all. I only know that a rich second-generation man with a lot of money bought a piece of land from them for a huge price. I don't know anything else. I haven't even seen many people from Taoyang living here. They go out early and come back late all day long. That's all. Leave now."
The frail Xiao Yu stood there in a daze, holding his schoolbag.
Gone?
He looked into the darkness with a look of confusion and disappointment.
He remembered the contact information Su Tao left for him, and swiped his fingers on the communicator several times but couldn't dial it out.
He still reflected on himself, was it really right to shamelessly follow Taoyang?
He and his grandmother both carry a deep blood feud. Once they know the truth, the Chu family will never let them go and will hunt them down and tear them into pieces even at the ends of the earth.
If we go to Taoyang like this, it will definitely bring trouble to Taoyang.
His grandmother taught him since he was a child not to cause trouble to others, let alone trouble involving human lives.
Xiao Yu held the communicator tightly and walked out with his head down when the phone suddenly rang.
He was startled, and after the call was connected, Su Tao's voice rang out from the other end:
"Xiao Yu, I forgot to say hello to you and Grandma Yu. We're leaving this afternoon for our return trip. I guess we'll see each other again around this time next year. By the way, Minister Xu has asked Mr. Ling to take care of you. If you have any difficulties, you can tell Mr. Ling. Don't hold on."
Su Tao was just worried that the poor living conditions of the grandparents and grandchildren would lead to their health collapse, and she never thought that there was a knife hanging over their heads that could take their lives at any time.
Xiao Yu's eyes were red, and her breath was trembling:
"Miss Su, I have a request."
Su Tao was stunned and said quickly: "You say."
"Could you please take my grandma away?"
He couldn't hold it in any longer, and choked up as he told the story of his conflict with the Chu family.
"Ms. Su, I know this is a big trouble for you. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I can't just watch her die. She stayed there alone to let me escape, and she'll die."
Su Tao opened her mouth wide when she heard this, then quickly closed it, frowned, and asked:
"The Chu family? The Chu family that owns the largest number of mercenary teams and controls the largest and most powerful mercenary team in the Federation?"
Xiao Yu was on the verge of a breakdown. "Yes, yes, I've caused you trouble. My request is too difficult for you. I'm so sorry. I'm useless. Not only have I not awakened my superpowers, but my grandma has risked her life to protect me. Now I'm dragging you down with me. I'm useless."
