It's simple, there's really no rush. Even a slow thinker would know that it's not difficult for them to sneak into the deep mountains.
However, living in those deep mountains for a long time is not an easy task. After all, the previous group had been planning for decades, had a lot of weapons, and probably had a lot of love-hate relationships with wild animals.
Moreover, there's also simplicity.
Before, she might have occasionally had a pang of conscience when she took over the gold mine, but after seeing the gold mine deed, she had absolutely no more worries.
Even with basic historical knowledge, one knows that gold mines have always been an important resource for the imperial court, almost as vital as salt. However, in every dynasty, wealthy merchants had several hidden assets, many of which were these minerals.
However, such things were common in the feudal period. Later, warlords carved up their own territories and ruled independently. Until the founding of the People's Republic of China, the situation was chaotic and such incidents were not uncommon in various places.
However, it's easy to guess that the fact that this thing has been passed down so quietly until now, and that Su Yuanshan hasn't revealed a single detail about it, is perhaps because he himself doesn't know either.
Perhaps he knew, but he was clear that there was no possibility of getting it back, so he simply pretended it never happened.
"Why!"
A gold mine stretching for dozens of miles—even if you simply collect those several treasures, they probably wouldn't be worth half the gold mine. She admired Su Yuanshan's mindset more and more.
In other words, even if the Su family is large and powerful, this gold mine is still quite valuable, right? If it were her, even if she couldn't take it back, she would still have to teach them a lesson and make sure they never had a moment's peace.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Seeing her expression, with her fists clenched and puffed out in anger, Lin Zhengde even teased her.
"Are you reluctant to part with it?"
Simply shake your head.
"No, that's not it. I was just thinking about my grandpa. Such a huge gold mine was stolen, and he just swallowed his anger. That's not like him at all."
"Ha ha,"
Lin Zhengde burst into laughter.
How do you know Grandpa won't retaliate?
You know?
Lin Zhengde paused for a moment, then honestly shook his head.
"have no idea."
"Tch! What are you saying? I thought you'd found out something!"
Unable to argue with him, Lin Zhengde turned to look at Cheng Jin.
"Why are you looking so gloomy? Where did that phone call come from?"
Cheng Jin leaned back in his chair.
"You know perfectly well why I'm asking this!"
"Damn! It's the Beijing Military Region again?"
That's true, these days you can't keep a single secret here. Even something as small as this has practically become the talk of the town.
Lin Zhengde stood up,
"This is never going to end! What's wrong? Didn't you get enough of the benefits last time?"
Cheng Jin rubbed his temples.
"After all, he is our official leader. Isn't this request normal?"
They're considering the bigger picture, the collective good, and the rational allocation and utilization of resources.
The sarcasm in his words was so clear that even Lin Zhengde, who considered himself a rough man, understood it perfectly.
"So what are you planning to do, just hand it over like this?"
He stared at Cheng Jin, looking him up and down.
"No way, you stingy old fox, when did you become so easy to talk to? You're just going to give up the meat that's practically in your mouth?"
She simply lowered her head, suppressing a laugh, and after thinking for a moment, quietly got up and left.
From her words, it was clear that it was related to these gold and silver items. To be honest, she naturally hoped that they would be used for actual construction.
When she said she wanted a powerful backer, she wasn't just saying it casually.
She knows her own personality well: she's lazy, doesn't like to worry, and loves to do things herself.
All I want to do is lie down.
Since there are no conditions for lying down, she will create them herself.
Since she had already decided to hand it over, she didn't want to say anything more. Everyone else was working together, and it was her territory, so why weren't they more concerned than she was?
Gently close the door, shutting out their voices.
Cheng Chao walked in steadily from outside and saw Jian Dan standing in the doorway, lost in thought. The light was dim, and he couldn't see the expression on her face. His heart immediately tightened.
"What's wrong?"
"Um?"
After a brief moment of realization,
"Oh, it's nothing. You're back?"
"Are you really alright?"
He simply shook his head, then changed the subject.
"I left early today. I didn't know you were looking for me. Is there something you need?"
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Cheng Chao was relieved.
"It's about those things we talked about before. We've finally discussed and settled it, haven't we? I was thinking of getting it over with as soon as possible so you could have some peace of mind."
This coincides with a simpler idea.
"Okay, then you find a place, and I'll put the things there."
Speaking of this topic, Jian Dan also recalled her own past experiences.
"By the way, I came here to tell you that some people have already gone into the mountains."
Cheng Chao's expression hardened.
"So fast?"
He had arranged for people to keep an eye on the border, but it was clear that the other side still had its own methods. They made a feint right under their noses and slipped out of their sight.
"These bastards! My men were still watching over them, and they couldn't even keep an eye on them."
It's not surprising at all that it's simple. Cats have their ways and dogs have theirs. Now that the news has spread, it's no wonder they're not going to let it go.
Furthermore,
"That area is their territory; it would be abnormal if they let you watch over it."
Cheng Chao let out a hard sigh. He knew all too well that this was why he felt even more aggrieved.
I laughed easily.
"Brother, your thinking is wrong. Why are you angry?"
Putting aside the issue of ownership, most of these things are within other people's territory, right?
