"That project was actually just an alfalfa pasture. We had just rented it a while ago to test some new technologies for processing alfalfa powder. But unexpectedly, the new technologies were stolen by rats as soon as they were developed, and now the pasture is almost useless." Jiang Songbai looked disappointed when he talked about the pasture. That pasture was the most suitable place for alfalfa to grow. It covered several thousand acres and had more than a dozen rivers of various sizes. Using it as a pasture was almost a waste.
"Oh, is that so? I understand. I'll stop here for now. I believe Uncle Jiang can handle the rest. If you ask for my advice on Mole, I'll say it again: that money is nothing to you. Don't be so stubborn. Hehe, I'm leaving now. Ling'er, come out with me for a bit. I have something to tell you." Li Jia finished speaking, smiled, and stood up. She nodded to Jiang Ling'er, indicating that she should come out with her.
"What's going on?" Jiang Ling followed Li Jia out the door, her eyes filled with curiosity. She was somewhat surprised that Li Jia had managed to clarify the whole matter in just a few words.
"If necessary, tell your grandfather that there's a problem with that pasture. Don't let him dispose of it carelessly. Also, call me anytime if anything happens." After Li Jia finished speaking to Jiang Ling'er, a feeling of being watched suddenly rose in his heart. He disliked it intensely; it felt like being targeted by a sniper. Fortunately, there was no malice in the feeling; it was simply a sense of vigilance over every corner of the villa. The sniper's crosshairs only briefly crossed Li Feng's body.
"I'm leaving. Tell your grandfather that this matter needs to be resolved completely within 24 hours to prevent any further accidents." Li Jia's words were very serious. With the police involved, things had become more complicated. If it wasn't resolved in time, things might escalate further and could even threaten the personal safety of some people.
Jiang Ling nodded vigorously. "Okay, I'll keep an eye on Grandpa these next few days. That pasture won't fall into anyone else's hands." Jiang Ling had absolute trust in Li Jia's words. This man had surprised her time and time again. At this moment, she even thought of that coin, that bright yellow bullet. Li Jia's not-so-imposing figure gradually grew taller in her eyes. "Jia! You…" "Hmm? What's wrong?" Li Jia stopped and turned to look at Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling didn't say anything more, but simply shook her head. "Nothing. Driving…"
Li Jia smiled at Jiang Ling'er, then turned and left the villa, driving away in her car, leaving Jiang Ling'er alone, staring blankly into the distance. "Whether you are him or not, I believe in you!" she thought to herself. After saying this to herself, Jiang Ling'er turned and went back into the villa, returning to Jiang Songbai's side.
Li Jia returned to the dry cleaner, but he couldn't shake off his unease. No one knew the mole's troubles better than him; that rat-like tenacity and insidious nature were terrifying. He hoped Jiang Ling's grandfather would actually take his advice and simply settle things with some money. "Otherwise," he thought, "if we provoke the hyena, things won't just be about money anymore. I hope my guess is wrong, and I hope the mole just wants to earn some pocket money!"
Jiang Songbai did indeed adopt Li Jia's suggestion. The company's two most important R&D departments are now temporarily paralyzed. This is a significant blow to Songbai Grass Industry, although the paralysis of these two departments doesn't have a major impact on the company's overall operations. However, the effort and money invested in these two departments are completely lost; any one of the new technologies that have already achieved breakthroughs or are about to achieve breakthroughs is worth far more than this amount.
Although Jiang Songbai adopted Li Jia's suggestion, the mole did not want to end the call so simply. The original price of five million was raised to ten million, and the company specifically requested that the grassland in Inner Mongolia be given as a gift. Just as Jiang Songbai was about to agree, Jiang Ling hung up the phone. "Grandpa, that grassland cannot be given away!"
Seeing his granddaughter's resolute expression, Jiang Songbai asked with some confusion, "Ling'er, why is that? That pasture is not of much use to us anymore. Even if we can preserve it, it can only be used as an alfalfa planting base. But we can find experimental bases for new technologies anywhere."
The old man, Jiang Songbai, has been restless these past few days because of the mole's insidious presence. His company has suffered a series of heavy blows, so he is now only thinking about getting this matter over with as soon as possible. As for the newly purchased pasture, he no longer pays any attention to it.
"Grandpa, Li Jia told me that there's something wrong with that grassland. The mole's real goal is that grassland, and what's been happening at the company these past few days is just a smokescreen. Their real aim is to get that grassland. So, we absolutely can't give it away until we figure out what's really going on. I hope you'll believe me, Grandpa." Jiang Ling'er completely believed Li Jia this time, so she was extremely sincere in persuading her grandfather.
"Uh... okay then, I'll think about it. How about I give Grandpa a shoulder massage?" Jiang Songbai put down the phone, which had already been disconnected, and sat on the sofa, speaking slowly to Jiang Ling'er.
"Okay, you can ask Uncle Ou to check what's wrong with that meadow. Grandpa Ou is so resourceful, he'll definitely have a solution." Jiang Ling gently massaged her grandfather's temples and shoulders, offering her suggestion.
"Ring ring ring!" Just as Jiang Songbai was thinking with his eyes closed, the phone rang again. This time it wasn't someone from Mole, but a loud voice: "Old Wood, did you buy a grassland in Inner Mongolia to use as an experimental base?"
