Chapter 578: Chapter 578 Lavaya Cliff Valley
Gu Qiaoqiao quietly withdrew her gaze and exchanged a few words with Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu muttered to Gu Qiaoqiao that he didn’t know why, but he had slept so deeply last night that he hadn’t woken up at all.
This was not normal.
Although puzzled, the water they drank and the food they ate along the way had all been brought by themselves, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
And it seed that the sa was true for the other passengers on the train.
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t explain why either.
After comforting Uncle Gu, Gu Qiaoqiao took her seat.
The man sitting opposite seed as if he hadn’t seen Gu Qiaoqiao at all.
He continued to look out the window with indifference.
At that mont, it seed as if all his thoughts and soul had left the carriage.
This idea startled Gu Qiaoqiao,
and she quickly lowered her head to read her book.
Since the other party had no intention of speaking, she was happy not to start a conversation.
She wasn’t eager to talk to strangers in the first place.
Soon, the train reached its terminal station.
Gathering her belongings, Uncle Gu and four bodyguards escorted Gu Qiaoqiao off the train.
It was at this mont that the man nad Dongfang Yu finally shifted his gaze from the window back into the carriage.
He stood up and stretched.
Then, carrying his cat, he also disembarked from the train unhurriedly.
It was then that Gu Qiaoqiao realized that this man had only brought a briefcase with him.
It was quite simple.
Gu Qiaoqiao then got into the pickup truck that had co to et them and sped toward Lavaya Cliff Valley.
By the ti Gu Qiaoqiao looked back, the man with the cat had disappeared.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head, pushing away the thoughts in her eyes, and looked straight ahead.
Two hours later, Uncle Gu and his party, including Gu Qiaoqiao, finally arrived at Lavaya Cliff Valley.
To call it a valley was not quite accurate.
All around were rocks that seed to have been weathered for many years.
However, the rocks were not tall.
The tallest were only about five ters high.
They couldn’t be considered mountains.
But this place was still referred to as a valley.
Lavaya had indeed a good topography.
In the middle, there was a andering river.
If one ca in sumr, this place should be an oasis.
For so reason, the temperature in this valley was a few degrees higher than in other places.
Looking up, the sky was a clear blue, with wisps and strands of white clouds drifting leisurely.
On the other side of the river, there were more rocky areas.
And on this side of the river lay the Jade Mine bought by Gu Qiaoqiao’s great grandfather.
In recent years, people from inland had flooded this area, buying up large swathes of land and mining the jade here.
However, not everyone was lucky in their finds.
It was like gold panning; so would find a bounty of gold nuggets, while others would find nothing but sand.
This place couldn’t really be called a Jade Mine.
At most, it was a ruse set up by the Old Patriarch to take back North Mountain Villa.
Nevertheless, the land here was not expensive.
Because apart from mining so rocks, there was nothing else to do.
And the spot chosen by Uncle Gu and Zhang Yi happened to be quiet for this reason.
Within a hundred miles, there was no jade mine.
Whatever they did, no one would know about it.
In fact, the initial prospecting suggested that there might be jade, but a subsequent survey by another team proved there was nothing here.
Subsequently, the original owners gave up.
And it just so happened that Uncle Gu and Zhang Yi took over.
They then used this location to successfully take back North Mountain Villa.
