Xia Liu had already arrived in the county. His destination was naturally the Longyun Hotel. By this time, the three women had already gotten up and were gathered in the office eating. When they saw Xia Liu come in, none of the women said much. Last night, they thought they could make Xia Liu submit, but in the end, they had all been begging for mercy. After some thought, Xia Liu still decided to tell the three women about the situation. "Xiaoxue, Xue'er, Sister Zhang, for the coming period, I may be busy with other matters, so the hotel and the village affairs will be left to you." "What matters?" the three women asked in unison. "Do you still remember Sister Fangfei?" The three women nodded. When Fangfei had not yet left, they had gathered a few times, especially Huang Xue. She had the deepest impression of Fangfei. "She is also your sister." "What!" "Oh my! That's kind of crazy!" "Brother Xia Liu is really something." After hearing Xia Liu's confession, the three women exclaimed in surprise as they looked at Xia Liu. Fangfei was, after all, the big boss of both the Longyun and Longteng Hotels. And who was Xia Liu? A first-level villager. Who could have imagined that this guy would actually win Fangfei over? "What's your opinion?" The three women exchanged glances. What opinion could they have? After last night, they were well aware of their own tolerance limits. If it were just the three of them, facing Xia Liu, they would always end up surrendering. But if Fangfei were added to their group, they were confident they could make Xia Liu surrender! "Where is Sister Fang now?" Huang Xue looked puzzled at Xia Liu. When she had returned before, she had learned some information from the waiters. It was vague, just that Fangfei had sold the hotel to Xia Liu, but she didn't know anything else. This question was also troubling Zhang Qing and Zhang Xiaoxue. "She's gone home, and she might be in trouble..." Xia Liu could only answer vaguely, as he didn't know the specifics. His purpose today was to come clean and also to entrust the three women with matters, as he needed to go seek answers. "I see, then what are you still waiting for?" Huang Xue's bright eyes glanced around, although she didn't know what trouble Fangfei was in. But Fangfei's situation was too similar to her own. She couldn't help but feel invigorated, thinking that if Xia Liu was late this time. What would happen to her? What would happen to her grandfather? What would happen to the Huang Family? With these thoughts in mind, Huang Xue unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat. "Right, Brother Xia Liu! Hurry up and bring Sister Fang back!" "Exactly! Don't dawdle, go quickly and bring her back!" Zhang Qing and Zhang Xiaoxue were also urging him on. "Mm!" Xia Liu smiled faintly, pleased by the stance of the three women. This was enough to show that he was still quite good at maintaining a harmonious relationship between them. "Xue'er, there's something I'd like to ask of you. The village is planning to build an alcohol packaging and processing factory, so it might be trouble for you to make a trip to the city or some other place to purchase equipment," Xia Liu said after some thought, somewhat apologetically to Huang Xue. "The bag is on me." "Xiaoxue, follow Xue'er, and if anything happens, call me." "Rest assured, Brother Xia Liu." "Oh, right, here's a card for you guys. I transferred some money to Sister Gu this morning, there should be tens of millions left." Xia Liu said as he took out the card. But his gesture was met with disdain from the three ladies. "Brother Xia Liu, save your money for finding us sisters. We have money." "Pfft!" Xia Liu didn't dare to speak anymore. He knew about Huang Xue. This time when she came over, Huang Shijie had transferred one hundred million to her account. As for Zhang Qing and Xiaoxue, there must also be tens of millions in their accounts, since he frequently transferred money to the two women. "Hurry up! That way you can come back sooner." Seeing Xia Liu dawdling, the three ladies urged him simultaneously. With the encouragement of the three women, Xia Liu felt very grateful and directly did something indescribable to them. It wasn't until three hours later that Xia Liu drove away from Longyun Hotel. To understand Fang Fei, he must find a breakthrough from Li Zhong or Li Qianqian. Li Qianqian was out of the question for now. Previously, during a drink with Li Zhong, he had inadvertently revealed some news about Fang Fei's father. If he could dig up news about Fang Fei's father, he could just go there directly. Now, Xia Liu had packed a whole table of dishes and brought over the Osmanthus Wine he had brewed this morning to the county government house. As luck would have it, these past couple of days Li Qianqian had been extremely busy and hadn't even come home. Read latest stories on empire Seeing Xia Liu bringing stuff inside, Xu Fang immediately called Li Zhong. In less than half an hour, Li Zhong was back. Without much small talk, Li Zhong and Xia Liu clinked glasses straight away. This time, Xia Liu had experience. He didn't ply Li Zhong with drink, nor did he let him drink too much. "Brother Liu, where did you buy this wine? It's so good." Although Xia Liu intended not to let Li Zhong drink too much, the richness of the Osmanthus Wine still made Li Zhong lose control. "County Chief Li, this wine is brewed by our village's brewery. If you like it, once the brewery is officially operational, I'll bring a truckload over to you." "Haha! You can't be joking! I'm very serious!" Li Zhong said laughing. "Of course, by the way, County Chief Li, you mentioned before that you discovered the secret of Fang Fei's father and then broke off relations with him. What happened in the end, I've been so curious I haven't slept well for several days." Xia Liu took the opportunity when Li Zhong was laughing to inquire subtly. "Errr... actually, it's nothing. He was hiding his identity, an identity I couldn't match in a lifetime..." By the end of his sentence, Li Zhong kept drinking from his glass non-stop. "County Chief Li, what happened between you in the end?" "In the end, we reconciled and became even friendlier than before. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for some days now." "What is his identity?" "I can't say that, they seem very strict about it. Let's continue drinking." Li Zhong stopped just there, as Fang Cheng had warned multiple times not to disclose his relationship with him in front of others, as it might bring lots of trouble. "Haha... let's drink!" Xia Liu's heart was almost crying. Every time it came to a crucial point, Li Zhong would stop. If he pressed on, it would seem improper of him. Having no choice, he could only accompany Li Zhong, laughing and drinking to the end. "By the way, County Chief Li, has Qianqian been really busy these days?" Since there was no breakthrough with Li Zhong, Xia Liu had to shift his focus to Li Qianqian. Although that girl didn't like him, it was often easier to deal with women. "Ah, Xia Liu, I'm actually worried about this. I don't know what Qianqian has been busy with lately. She's been staying at the station, hasn't come home for two days." Before Li Zhong could reply, Xu Fang interjected eagerly. She was emotional yet somewhat excited because Xia Liu had started to ask about Qianqian herself. "You don't know, Qianqian, no, I should say Hejing Police Station has encountered the biggest case in decades..." Li Zhong drank Osmanthus Wine alone, his expression gradually turning to one of worry...
