Hospital X had a tarmac. (After all, all the patients were rich and powerful, and some of them were from overseas. Private jets for them were nothing.)
A group of people stood beside the helicopter. Second Uncle instructed, “If you two run into danger, just abort the mission and come back. Your lives are much more important than anything else.”
‘Tang Ze and Tang Lei wanted to follow her.
“Cousin, why don’t we go with you? We’re young and strong. We might be able to help when needed.”
Before Tang Li could say anything, Tang Zitong replied on her behalf, “First Brother, Third Brother, what if there are demons and monsters deep in that mountain? If we get captured by the demons, Fourth Sister will have to save us one by one.”
First Uncle said to Tang Zitong sternly, “Zitong, what nonsense are you talking about?”
‘Tang Zitong shrugged and mumbled unhappily, “I’m telling the truth.”
Only then did Tang Li say, “Second cousin is right. I need to take care of this matter as soon as possible, whatever the cause might be. I will get distracted if too many people come along.”
‘Tang Ze and Tang Lei stopped talking.
‘Tang Li looked at Qi Yihan, who was talking to one of the bodyguards not far away.
Tang Zitong moved closer to Tang Li and winked at her. “Fourth Sister, Fourth Brother-in-law is just worried about you, so he asked you to take his bodyguards with you, right? I think the bodyguards he sent to protect you are a little different from the other bodyguards of the Qi family. They look like
they came from the special forces.”
‘Tang Li glanced at her but did not say anything.
She continued, “In the past, everyone thought that Fourth Brother-in-law was too cold and unapproachable, but I think he didn’t take everyone seriously. Now, he takes you seriously. Look, that’s probably as considerate as a husband could ever be.”
Tang Li could not help but smile.
‘Tang Zitong added, “That’s why you have to come back early. There are too many women out there who want him. Don’t give those nymphs outside a chance to enchant him.”
‘Tang Li nodded in agreement.
“Tl only be gone for three days.”
“We’re all waiting for your triumphant return.” Tang Zitong thought of something and said, “I’m meeting Ziqing for dinner this weekend. Why don’t you come with us when you are back?”
‘Tang Li looked at Tang Zitong in a new light.
“Are you that close to her now?”
“Of course.” Tang Zitong was very proud. “We have common topics.”
Their common topic was Tang Li. Every time, the two of them would talk about Tang Li for an hour or two.
Tang Li did not ask her what their common topics were. At that moment, Qi Yihan walked over after instructing his bodyguards.
Tang Li said, “It’s about time we set out.”
She glanced at Qi Yihan who kept staring at her without saying a word.
She thought for a moment, then suddenly took his hand and quickly drew something on it. In the eyes of others, she was just scribbling.
However, Qi Yihan knew that she was drawing talismans.
When she stopped, Tang Li smiled at him. “Tl keep all the women away from you.”
Hearing that, Qi Yihan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Tang Zitong, who was standing at the side, covered her chest and said, “Oh my god, that PDA is lethal.”
The other men looked at her as if she was an idiot.
Tang Zitong knew that they didn’t understand and didn’t explain. She just giggled and planned to tell Su Ziging about this later.
When Qi Yihan smiled, he was handsome to the point that most of the girls would faint at the sight of him.
Tang Li let go of Qi Yihan’s hand and got into the helicopter with First Uncle.
By the time Tang Li and the others arrived at Province C, it was already lunchtime.
The helicopter could only be parked at the airport of the city closest to the border of the two provinces. After they finished their meal in the city and Tang Li went to buy something, they headed to the border of the two provinces.
They arrived at their destination around three in the afternoon.
There were several villages here, so the car had to stop at the intersection.
After getting out of the car, Tang Li looked around.
Most of the land that the Tang family bought was flat land, which was utilized as farmlands and orchards.
‘The mountain to the west was very close.
From where they were standing, the mountain in the west looked like a dragon, winding and coiling. The mountain was not very high. From where they were to the top of the mountain, it was probably around one or two thousand meters.
Tang Li watched for a while before she withdrew her gaze and asked First Uncle.
“First Uncle, I think you must have talked to the village head before we came. Where are we staying tonight?”
First Uncle pointed to the southwest. There were several houses built there. There was only one two-story building, and the rest were all brick.
“That’s the place. We’re staying at Li Bao’s house tonight. He is the village head. I’ve already talked to him about it.”
“Alright, let’s go over now.”
She planned to walk around the mountain first.
‘When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a middle-aged uncle waiting there.
‘When the middle-aged man saw them, he quickly strode forward to welcome them and shook First Uncle’s hand enthusiastically. “Mr. Tang, welcome. Yesterday, I received a call from you. I asked my wife to clean up the rooms for you.”
Then, he looked at Tang Li and praised, “Miss, you look really pretty.”
Tang Li thanked him and said, “Sorry for disturbing you.”
“No, no, not at all. We can’t really grow high-quality food and fruits here because the soil quality is quite poor. We have been hoping someone will buy this land and help us out of poverty.”
Then, he said apologetically, “I didn’t know that so many of you would come. I have three empty rooms. You and this lady will each have one. The other gentlemen will have to stay with other families.”
One of the bodyguards said, “We can just sleep on the floor.”
“Well… alright then.”
The village head knew that big shots’ bodyguards were very professional and wouldn’t be too far away from their employer. He decided to go back and borrow some mats and blankets from the other families for them to sleep on the floor.
They followed the village head towards the village.
Tang Li asked casually as she walked, “I heard that the mountain in the west can’t be removed. Uncle Li, is there anything special about that mountain?”
“Um.”
“We’ve already bought this place. Uncle Li, you don’t have to worry about us going back on our words.”
Hearing that, Uncle Li smiled awkwardly. He was still worried that they would withdraw their investment because most of the rich people believed in ghosts and gods, so he said, “There’s a Mountain Temple on that mountain. Whenever someone has the intention to flatten out the mountain, the temple
will be shrouded in smoke. Then, there will be earthquakes and landslides in this area. Everyone says that it’s because the Mountain God is angry.”
“Isee.”
Tang Li did not ask about that anymore. Instead, she asked about something else. “Is there anyone staying on the mountain?”
“Um.”
