Upon returning home, the reunion with everyone was another tearful scene.
When asked about his experiences in prison over the years, Lu Yuan only picked out some of the more interesting things to talk about.
As for those chilling things, he basically glossed over them.
However, this also made his family members realize that Lu Yuan's experiences over the past year had been far too much of a hardship.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan was found, and everyone was relieved.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan explained Anna's background, and everyone readily accepted Anna.
The next most important thing is how to handle the special land use procedures.
Lu Yuan did not intend to continue living in this place; he wanted to live in a safer place.
Zhou Zhong has been investigating this matter for the past two days.
Of all the people, only Zhou Tong possesses this ability.
Two days later, while the family was having dinner together, they suddenly heard footsteps outside.
Everyone quickly stopped what they were doing, because they couldn't let anyone see them eating.
If discovered, their secrets may be exposed.
So everyone ate very carefully, and there were always people on duty.
Today, it was Aunt Lu on duty. Aunt Lu stood at the door and glanced outside.
There were only footsteps but no one was there. Feeling a little confused, Lu's mother took another look.
Then, a man in military uniform appeared at the entrance of the building. After glancing behind him, he turned around. When Lu's mother saw his face, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, I was so scared! It's Zhou Tong back!"
Upon hearing that Zhou Tong had returned, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating.
Lu Yuan got up and opened the door, and Zhou Zhong walked in.
Lu Yuan invited the other person in, but the small room was already quite crowded.
Zhou Tong waved his hand: "Why don't you guys eat first? I'll talk about this after we eat!"
Seeing Zhou Tong's smiling face, everyone immediately understood that he had good news to share.
Everyone wanted to know immediately how the matter was being handled, otherwise no one would be in the mood to continue eating.
"Okay, I went out to investigate these past two days and finally found a contact in the black market. When I found this contact, I asked him about the price of the land and other related matters."
The other party told me that if I wanted to buy land, I had to go through the conglomerate, which was quite troublesome, with many procedures involved, and I needed a guarantor.
There's no such channel on the black market right now, but they can help us inquire. I think it would be best if we met in person and talked it over. What do you think, Lu Yuan?
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Well, since we already have a channel, let's go ask them. I'll go talk to the people in this black market and see what they specifically want. Whether it's money or food, we can give them anything, as long as we can get a place!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Xiao Shan insisted on staying with Lu Yuan; she didn't want to be separated from him for even a day.
Little Qiqi is now clinging to Lu Yuan's hand just like her mother: "I want to go with Daddy too!"
Seeing Qiqi like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh and started laughing along.
Lu Yuan squatted down and gently pinched Qi Qi's cheek: "Okay, Daddy is going to work, it's dangerous, little kids can't go with you. We can learn together when you grow up, okay?"
Qiqi pouted in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, you just want to get rid of me, don't you!"
Lu Yuan laughed again: "I promise I'll take you with me next time, okay?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, let's pinky swear!"
Qi Qi seemed to be deep in thought. Finally, she made a pinky promise with Lu Yuan before returning to her seat to continue eating.
So Zhou Tong told Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan about some things regarding this black market.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan had a general idea of what was going on.
This black market is actually a place where things are constantly being bought and sold in the shadows.
Their energy was actually quite leisurely, not as powerful as the black market people Lu Yuan had encountered before.
They only possessed some resources that the inner city didn't want.
However, buying land is still somewhat difficult; someone must act as a guarantor.
They had another place in their possession, a place that was still undeveloped.
Many conglomerates have already acquired land there, and they have built their own houses there, houses as luxurious as palaces.
However, the population there is sparse, so a large amount of supplies need to be transported there, which will cost a lot of money.
Therefore, many conglomerates later left their properties in that area and had no intention of living there at all.
But the price there is still very high, and it is something that every conglomerate member must have.
It's like a stepping stone into the circle of the wealthy; you may not live there, but you can't be without it.
The next morning, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan went to the black market together.
Through the location Zhou Zhong had contacted, they finally found the contact person.
The other person was a man who appeared to be around thirty years old.
He was emaciated, with sunken eyes, and his outstretched hands were nothing but skin and bones, making him look exceptionally terrifying.
"You want to buy land?"
The man's voice was hoarse when he spoke, like two sheets of sandpaper constantly grinding against each other, which made the listener feel very uncomfortable.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm here to buy land. Is there anything you can do about it?"
"There is a way, but it's quite difficult. Buying land requires a large sum of money, but the source of the funds needs to be investigated. Our black market boss also wants to buy it, but he can't. However, he can act as a guarantor for you!"
The boss heard about this. If you want to buy it, I can take you there now, but you'll have to pay some money. The boss said he can't be your guarantor for free!
After hearing his words, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan exchanged a glance.
A hint of joy appeared in both of their eyes.
Since the other party is willing to talk, it's great news for Lu Yuan and his team.
Lu Yuan immediately nodded, and the other party then led Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan to their black market headquarters.
However, he was blindfolded when he went there, and the people in the black market were worried that Lu Yuan was an undercover agent.
Upon arrival, they found several people squatting on the floor eating in a dark basement.
Something unidentified was being roasted in the embers.
The lights were turned on after Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan came in.
Then Lu Yuan saw a man in the very center holding a leg or foot of some unknown species and gnawing on it.
After the lights came on, the other person accidentally covered their eyes and said...
"You're the one who wants to buy the land?"
