“I just happened to see a star I like, and I got a little excited all of a sudden.

You’re really overbearing for scolding me like that.”

“Take it easy. I’ll send you his WeChat later. He should leave after the funeral ends. You’ll have a chance to meet him. How’s Tan Xingyue doing?”

Wen Xin thought about how Chu Yunxuan brought Nan Xu over, and she felt a headache coming on. There was no need to bother so many people. With her here, there was nothing she couldn’t handle. Why make things so complicated?

“Xingyue is doing fine. She just felt a little dizzy earlier, probably because she was too emotional. I’ve ordered breakfast. Let’s all go to the cafeteria later and eat something.”

Wen Xin glanced in the direction of the hall. Su Wanlin was calmly arranging the necessary follow-up matters for the funeral. Wen Xin pulled Chu Yunxuan to a nearby bench and leaned lazily on her shoulder.

“Things with the Su family might be a bit troublesome. I’ve asked Chen Yian to handle it. I just don’t know if this uncle from the Su family has any say.

Otherwise, we won’t know how long Grandma will stay here.”

Wen Xin wasn’t in a very good mood. On one hand, her body hadn’t fully recovered, and on the other hand, she felt that Grandma’s passing was a bit suspicious.

According to Tan Xingyue, her grandmother seemed to have already calculated when she would die. This was too strange.

“Wen Xin, you’ve already done enough for the Su family. You’re an outsider. If you meddle too much, you might end up being seen as the bad guy. I think it’s better to let the Su family handle it.”

Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin with pity. She felt that Wen Xin had taken on too much already, and there was no need to worry about the Su family’s affairs anymore.

“Yeah, let’s wait and see.”

Wen Xin leaned on Chu Yunxuan’s shoulder and closed her eyes. She wanted to rest a little longer. Her back was hurting badly.

Back at the hotel, Mu Chengxi returned. Liang Luoyu wheeled himself in from outside. Mu Chengxi went to the bathroom, took a shower, took a bite of the breakfast on the table, and glanced at Liang Luoyu sitting in front of the computer.

“How’s the investigation into Yang Jingyan’s identity going?”

“I haven’t found anything at all. But the fact that we can’t find anything only proves that this old lady’s identity isn’t simple. And that so-called person from Beijing, I haven’t found any clues either. Do you think it’s possible that Auntie Yao is intentionally causing trouble?”

Liang Luoyu was somewhat frustrated. He leaned back in his wheelchair, his face full of confusion as he looked at Mu Chengxi. He felt that there was something strange about this situation. Who would harm an old person? Especially one who was seemingly useless.

Mu Chengxi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, his lips curling slightly upward. He didn’t think this matter was so simple.

To have obtained Tan Mingyao’s identity token, this person definitely did not get it after Tan Mingyao became an adult. It’s very possible that she was the one who took Tan Mingyao away from that place.

“Let’s not look into this matter for now. Go back and rest. I’ll take a nap too. I need to see Wen Xin this afternoon.

Mu Chengxi had returned to discuss the Su family’s situation in Clear Spring Town with Ling Yichen’s uncle. He wanted a bargaining chip for negotiations with the Su family.

Just then, Mu Chengxi’s phone rang. It was a video call from Ling Yichen’s uncle. Mu Chengxi put down his breakfast and answered the call sincerely.

The person on the video immediately smiled upon seeing Mu Chengxi, “Young Master Mu, you’re in such a hurry to contact me. Is there something special? Is it about Clear Spring Town?”

“Yes, I know Uncle Lin has been troubled by Clear Spring Town for a long time. I can offer Uncle Lin a special privilege regarding the procedures to halt the demolition of Clear Spring Town. I wonder if Uncle Lin would be willing to cooperate with me.”

If the demolition issue can’t be resolved, then simply not demolishing would be fine. He had looked into Clear Spring Town’s surrounding area last night; the landscape there is beautiful, and building a resort would be a good idea. As long as Lin Qiuxiang is willing to cooperate, he could immediately implement this plan.

“You mean you can solve the problem of Clear Spring Town? That would be great. As long as the problem of Clear Spring Town can be solved, I will cooperate with you in any way. These barbarians are really troublesome…”

Hearing Lin Qiuxiang describe the Su family as barbarians, Mu Chengxi could imagine the incident when they went to Old Market Town to seize Old Mister Su’s remains. Fortunately, they did not hurt Wen Xin., thankfully without harming Wen Xin.

“Uncle Lin, submit an ecological report for Clear Spring Town. I can immediately approve it to become an ecological town. Then, you follow my lead, take people to Clear Spring Town to meet my people, and negotiate a condition with the Su family. If they agree, we’ll give them the promise of an ecological village. If not, I’ll arrange for someone to help you with the demolition.”

Mu Chengxi sat lazily on the sofa, a hint of calculation flashing in his eyes. After all, his goal was to fulfill Wen Xin’s grandmother’s last wish, and using some influence wasn’t a problem.

“Mu, I’ll wait for your news then. I’ll start preparing the materials right now.”

Lin Qiuxiang was extremely excited to hang up the call. He hadn’t imagined Mu Chengxi could solve such a difficult problem with just a few words. This was great news.

After hanging up the video call, Mu Chengxi called Gu Yanzhe.

At this time, Gu Yanzhe was outside the Su family’s compound, with their vehicles blocked by several strong men, unable to leave or enter.

“Master Xi, the Su family is too barbaric. We’ve also seen the director of the sanatorium home here, and it seems that the director and the Su family have clashed. The situation is a bit chaotic now.”

Gu Yanzhe held the phone at its maximum volume to speak with Mu Chengxi, the noisy background completely drowning out Gu Yanzhe’s voice.

Hearing Gu Yanzhe’s intermittent voice, Mu Chengxi felt he might have oversimplified the Su family’s situation. He hung up the call and decided to text Gu Yanzhe instead.

“Directly tell the Su family that you come sincerely to discuss matters. Tell them if they’re willing to talk, you can help them ensure Clear Spring Town is not demolished…”

“If they let you in, send me a message. I’ll have Lin Qiuxiang go to you, using the preservation of Clear Spring Town as a condition for allowing Yang Jingyan and Old Mr. Su to be buried together…”

“No need to waste too much talk. If they agree, negotiate it. If not, come back. I have other methods.”

Gu Yanzhe looked at the message from Mu Chengxi, replied with an “okay,” and proceeded as instructed.

Indeed, they were respectfully invited in.

In the Su family’s council hall, Gu Yanzhe surveyed the surroundings, unable to understand why they would still cling to this place and these old traditions despite such poor living conditions.

“Let’s cut to the chase and not beat around the bush. If you can agree to let Yang Jingyan and Mr. Su be buried together, we’ll solve the demolition problem of Clear Spring Town. We can turn Clear Spring Town into an ecological town and preserve it….”
