"One is the An Group from Singapore. Although the An Group has never ventured into tourism, they are financially strong and as foreign investors, even though domestic demand for foreign investment hasn't been as urgent in recent years, it's still relatively welcomed." Qiao Xiaoqiao softly explained: "This time, the heir of the An Group, An Xiaobei, along with her fiancé Shi Pengfei, came to Mulian County. It seems that the An Group is also taking this matter seriously and has been treated well in Mulian County, especially given a villa for their stay. But it's strange that they left early this morning without informing the Mulian County government beforehand; instead, they only made a call after leaving."

"Honey, did they live in the villa by the river" Xia Tian asked.

Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that was where they stayed. But I haven't been there myself." She added curiously: "Husband, how do you know this"

"There was an incident at that place last night, and I went to rescue someone. I saw a man and a woman hiding behind the sofa. I didn’t ask who they were, but I reckon there’s an eighty percent chance it's the An Xiaobei and Shi Pengfei you mentioned. They nearly got killed so they ran away."

"I see, that does make sense." Qiao Xiaoqiao frowned slightly, "It seems like there are indeed serious issues with the public security in Mu Yang County. Foreign investors do care about the environment and safety conditions; their sudden departure is understandable."

Summer wasn't particularly bothered by this. He asked again: "Wife, who was the other company that left Did that fool Yuan Shicai run away"

"Husband, you didn’t actually do anything to Yuan Shicai, did you" Qiao Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment and then nodded her head: "Yuan Shicai indeed left. So it can be said that our biggest competitor has departed. However, I still cannot confirm if he truly abandoned the investment plan for Qingfeng Mountain."

"I didn’t do anything special either. The fool kept whining in front of me last night, so I beat him up and told him not to show his face again or else I would crush him under my feet. Now it seems that this coward really did get scared off." Summer was rather pleased with himself; he felt that he was the superior one, as evidenced by solving a problem that Qiao Xiaoqiao found difficult.

Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn’t help but be speechless for a moment. Her husband had claimed earlier that he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, yet now it seemed like both companies’ departures were somehow related to him.

Summer asked again, "Wife, didn't you just say there are four potential investors Who are the other two"

"Husband, forget it. Actually, one of the remaining two is a well-known local tourism development company in Pinghai Province. I really want to acquire them because Qingfeng Mountain still needs to be developed and they have more experience in this field. We just need to ensure that their development doesn't harm the environment or violate our requirements." Qiao Xiaoqiao shook her head, "As for the other one, it's not a big issue. Although they are financially strong, I don't think they have government backing. If we compete with them, we're unlikely to lose."

"Oh, in that case, let’s forget about it." Summer felt somewhat disappointed because he had hoped to find something productive to do, but now he couldn’t.

"Husband, I'm sorry, but I need to have a video conference with the Hong Kong staff later to arrange work tasks. Why don't you go see Sister Meng instead" Qiao Xiaoqiao checked the time and said apologetically. Although she had moved away from Jianghai City, her workload was still heavy and she barely had any time left for Summer.

Summer, who had just returned home for a short while, could only leave again. It wasn’t that he couldn’t stay when Qiao Xiaoqiao was in a meeting; it’s just that he usually found her work boring and preferred not to be there. Qiao Xiaoqiao knew this about him, which is why she suggested this.

Summer had just come down from his room and stepped out of the hotel when he ran into a few acquaintances at the entrance—Zhong Haoyun, whom Yun Qing called her "big senior brother," along with four others, three men and two women.

However, Summer didn't intend to greet them. He was planning to first find Liu Meng and then grab something to eat; he hadn't eaten lunch yet today.

The group of Zhong Haoyun had also noticed Summer, but they all pretended not to see him. However, once Summer passed by them, they subconsciously turned their gazes towards his back, until he disappeared from sight.

"He's here again. Looks like you'll be able to meet your junior sister soon!" Ou Yang Jin spoke up; it was clear that she directed this remark at Zhong Haoyun.

“Right, Mr. Yao, didn't you have someone look into Summer’s background a while ago Are those online rumors true” Ji Yan also asked at this moment.

Ao Wei's expression turned slightly somber, and after a moment, he shook his head.

"Fake" Ji Yan looked disappointed. "No way! I thought this guy was really powerful!"

"It's not fake," Ao Wei said slowly. "I just couldn't find anything."

"Brother Yao, actually, I asked a friend in Jianghai City about Xia Tian. My friend seems to know something, but wouldn’t tell me the details; he only gave me one sentence." Zhong Haoyun then spoke up.

"What sentence" It was not Ao Wei who responded this time, but Zhuang Zhengxi beside him.

"He just gave me three words," Zhong Haoyun's expression was not good either, "Don’t provoke him."

"So this person is really powerful" Ji Yan couldn't help but ask.

"I don’t believe he could be that powerful." Ou Yang Jin snorted lightly, "He’s just a lucky guy who found a pretty wife and lives off her!"

“Jin, never underestimate anyone,” Yao Wei spoke up at this moment, “I have friends in the capital. I asked one of those friends to investigate Xia Tian's background for me. However, that friend didn’t give me any information, saying he had no idea about it, but he did say something.”

The other four people looked at Yao Wei together, and Ji Yan also asked again: "Mr. Yao, what did he say Wasn't it also 'don't provoke him'"iation, but they didn't dare say anything to the Zhao family. Later on, when Lin Zihao became mentally ill, the Lin family told others that I left because of this reason, even though many people knew...
