Xu Chunliang thought to himself, so this is what Mo Han has been up to recently. This girl is extrely competitive; although she says she doesn’t care about the winery, she’s probably been paying attention to what’s happening here.
Xu Chunliang said, "I don’t mind whether it’s developed or not, as long as it’s not developed by the Ecological Environntal Investnt Group. I just can’t stand He Xingjian."
i Ru Xue said, "There are too many people in the real world who are unaware of the vastness of the skies. Usually, such people are quite ignorant." She paused and said, "By the way, the female lead in your power and sex trade is Mo Han, right?"
Xu Chunliang’s eyes widened like bull’s eyes: "Secretary i, you’re openly tarnishing my reputation."
i Ru Xue said, "If she is the heroine, it would be understandable why you violated principles."
Xu Chunliang said, "I’m being wronged! With the little power I hold, she wouldn’t even consider . Any logical person would know that this ’power and sex trade’ is impossible."
i Ru Xue said, "I didn’t believe it at first either, but after eting Mo Han just now, I’ve started to believe it a bit. She’s both beautiful and wealthy. Have you ever thought she might not be after your power?"
Xu Chunliang said, "Then what is she after?"
i Ru Xue said, "She likes you!" As she pressed hard on the gas pedal, the car accelerated forward, and Vice Mayor Xu felt a strong sense of pushback.
Bai Mushan went down the tunnel and t two archaeology experts in charge of wrapping up. Both experts knew Bai Mushan, and in the field of archaeology, Bai Mushan was soone they looked up to with utmost respect.
The two greeted Bai Mushan and briefly introduced the findings of the past two days, acting very modestly and humbly in front of him.
Pu Jian kept a close watch the entire ti, specifically arranged by Xu Chunliang, as he didn’t fully trust Bai Mushan.
Bai Mushan first walked through the tunnel once. In the eyes of the two archaeology experts, Bai Mushan seed to be doing sothing pointless. The tunnel had no value; the target of the thieves digging was the structure beneath the winery’s ancient cellars, and Bai Mushan could completely bypass the tunnel and head straight to the central area.
Bai Mushan examined very carefully, and Pu Jian accompanied him. From Bai Mushan’s every move, it was clear that he was much more professional than the other archaeology experts. These experts focused on archaeology for archaeology’s sake, while Bai Mushan understood how to think from the thieves’ perspective, considering what they really wanted and why they dug such a tunnel.
A master reveals their expertise with just a move. Even Pu Jian, following Bai Mushan, could learn quite a lot.
Mo Han ca to the hot spring, dipped her hand into the pool, and felt the water temperature.
Wang Hongfeng was visiting Weishan Island for the first ti. Looking at the sign indicating the key cultural relic protection unit of Hu Shan Town, he laughed and said, "I always thought the smallest protection unit was at the county level, but coming here, I found there are actually town-level key cultural relic protection units."
Mo Han said, "There’s nothing Xu Chunliang can’t do that you can’t imagine."
Wang Hongfeng said, "The environnt here is naturally advantageous. If the hot spring quality is good, it can be developed into the top hot spring resort in the entire Jianghai Economic Zone, though the area is a bit small."
Mo Han said, "There are quite a few businesses around here, and the town governnt is also nearby, so the likelihood of acquiring land around here is low."
Wang Hongfeng said, "It’s not a big problem. As long as we can obtain the right to exploit the hot spring, we can lay pipelines to bring the spring water to any area on the island. The cost of laying pipelines wouldn’t be too high either."
Mo Han thought of Xianhong Farm; Tong Guangsheng has hoarded a large amount of land. If she cooperates with him to develop a hot spring resort, he likely wouldn’t refuse. Initially, Xu Chunliang asked her to help acquire the winery not really for the secret beneath the ancient cellars. He kept talking about dragon bones, but they’ve now been stolen to the last piece. Perhaps there was never any dragon bone to begin with, this fraud!
At this mont, a clamor ca from outside, and more than fifty people poured in. Although there were security guards at the entrance, they were overwheld by the sheer number of people and couldn’t stop them.
Zhang Haitao and Ding Si hurried over to help.
Zhang Haitao recognized these people as forr workers of Weishan Island Winery. Leading them was Yan Zhongmin, the past deputy director of the Weishan Island Brewery.
Zhang Haitao said, "Old Yan, what are you doing? Don’t you know this is private property? It’s illegal for you to barge in like this."
Yan Zhongmin loudly said, "This is Weishan Island Winery, our livelihood. When did it beco private property?"
The group of workers echoed, "Yes, it’s our place; it’s our factory. You’re the outsiders!"
Ding Si angrily said, "What are you shouting about? The Weishan Island Winery has long gone bankrupt. Your employnt relationship with the winery has ended; you have no connection to it anymore."
"Don’t listen to their nonsense; they’ve occupied our winery. Why should we, the workers, pay for Huang Guangyi’s mismanagent? You say it’s ended, and it’s ended? You say there’s no relationship, and there’s no relationship?" They were talking about Huang Guangyi, the forr director of the winery.
"Brothers, this is our factory; we must demand an explanation!"
Relying on their numbers, the group of workers pushed forward. Zhang Haitao and a few security guards tried to block them but were quickly pushed aside by the crowd. Zhang Haitao hurriedly took out his phone to call the police.
Mo Han angrily said, "Listen up, all of you! Get out of my place imdiately!"
"Who are you telling to get out? This is our factory."
"Our turf, our rules. The factory is ours, and the hot spring is ours too!"
"That’s right!"
Mo Han shouted sternly, "You are trespassing on private land, which is illegal. I’m warning you, if you don’t leave imdiately, I will sue you all and won’t let a single one of you off."
"You bitch, who are you going to sue? Don’t think we don’t know how you got the contract for the winery. It was just because you used your looks to sleep with Xu Chunliang and took over our factory."
Zhang Haitao and Ding Si couldn’t listen anymore. The workers were making personal attacks. If Xu Chunliang were here, things would definitely have co to blows.
At this mont, a shadow dashed into the crowd like a black lightning bolt. It was Mo Han. She took a few steps forward, leaped into the air, and delivered a flying kick straight to the chest of the worker who had just spouted vulgarities, sending him flying as if he was caught in a whirlwind and then crashing to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
The workers, who had been united just monts ago, scattered instantly. No one stepped forward to catch their colleague, letting him hit the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.
Everyone was stunned. Ding Si’s mouth was open wide enough to fit a whole goose egg.
After a brief hesitation, the group of workers roared, "You bitch, get her!"
Mo Han scoffed, "Courting death!" She punched the first worker rushing toward her right in the face, blood splattering everywhere, and followed up with an elbow strike, hitting another burly man squarely in the chest.
Zhang Haitao and Ding Si exchanged a look. Both were pondering whether to step in and help or not. After all, it was Mo Han making a move. They weren’t familiar with her. If it were Xu Chunliang, they would have rushed in without hesitation. They knew one thing for sure; Mo Han was responsible for her actions. But if they got involved, Xu Chunliang might end up taking the bla.
Ding Si glanced around, picked up a white wax stick from the ground, and tossed it to Mo Han. "Miss Mo, catch!"
Mo Han, in mid-air, didn’t even look back. She smoothly caught the long stick with a backward hand grab and swung it forward, knocking two more workers to the ground.
Zhang Haitao was filming with his phone. It was too aweso, just like watching a live Kung Fu movie.
Ding Si had figured it out. With Mo Han’s skills, taking on ten people at once was no problem.
Even though there were over fifty workers causing trouble, when it ca down to it, only a few dared to step forward. In just the blink of an eye, seven people had been knocked down by Mo Han. "Tree falls and the monkeys scatter" perfectly described these people. In an instant, their attack turned into a retreat.
Mo Han didn’t care about the saying "Don’t chase after a cornered enemy," she kept advancing and striking without pause.
Ding Si patted Zhang Haitao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don’t ss with won!"
Pu Jian climbed up from the ground, dumbfounded by the scene. He had missed the beginning and didn’t know why the fight started.
Zhang Haitao thought it necessary to report back to Xu Chunliang about the situation here and sent him the recorded video.
Outside, sirens could be heard. The police station was not far from here, and they rushed over as soon as they received the report. Today, Captain Li Chengbo was off duty, so Instructor Zhao Hong led the team.
This ti, Zhang Haitao called the police proactively. His intention was to protect his side, but the situation developed beyond his expectations. Mo Han, just a young girl, had taken down dozens of n, and was still in action when the police arrived, swinging the white wax stick and dominating the scene.
Ding Si and Pu Jian watched with a chill in their hearts, both putting Mo Han on their list of people not to provoke. This woman seed like a rose with a tiger in her heart.
Spring Snow!
Xu Chunliang and i Ru Xue arrived at the lakeside where they shared mories, and as soon as they stepped out of the car, spring snow began to fall.
The wind was no longer as cold, and the snow had turned gentle, with fine flakes slowly swirling in the breeze, feeling more like willow catkins.
Xu Chunliang had long guessed that i Ru Xue would co here and smiled at her gently.
i Ru Xue felt his smile was mischievous, glanced around, and proactively snuggled into his arms, resting her pretty face on his shoulder.
Xu Chunliang held her delicate body, feeling a fire burning in his heart, and instinctively tightened his arms. i Ru Xue let out a soft whimper, playfully complaining, "You’re so strong, you’re going to break my waist."
Xu Chunliang said, "It only proves how much I crave you."
i Ru Xue gently hit his shoulder twice, laughing: "Isn’t that why I ca to see you?"
She held Xu Chunliang’s face and gave him a soft kiss on the lips, "Good boy."
Xu Chunliang suddenly reached out and lifted her in his arms. i Ru Xue cried out, "Put down, put down." She tightened her grip around Xu Chunliang’s neck, afraid of falling from his embrace.
