The room Summer had booked was on the sixth floor. The four of them quickly found their rooms, put down their luggage, and settled in. The two rooms faced each other directly. Qiao Feng'er and Qiao Huang'er shared one room while, naturally, Qiao Xiaoqiao stayed with Summer.

"Right, dear, did you find Yang Shan" asked Qiao Xiaoqiao.

Shaking his head, Summer replied, "No, that girl went to Qingfeng Mountain to film a promotional video."

"I see!" Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded slightly. She knew there was no mobile phone signal inside Qingfeng Mountain. "Well then, I was a bit worried something might have happened. And Deputy County Magistrate Meng's phone can't be reached either."

"Wife, Meng Jinchai is in real trouble; he's been arrested."

"He's been arrested" Qiao Xiaoqiao was slightly stunned. "Husband, do you know what happened"

"I heard that he was framed, accused of accepting bribes. That annoying brat Yang Shan was also locked up for a night. I'm not entirely clear on the details, but Shi Changgeng should know more. If you want to find out, I can ask Yun Qing sister to inquire."

Qiao Xiaoqiao's pretty face changed again: "Husband, do you know Shi Changgeng"

"Yes, he knows Yun Qing sister very well. He seems to be the husband of Yun Qing sister’s mother. Oh, right, Yun Qing sister also has a younger sister who is Shi Changgeng's daughter."

"What on earth is going on here" Qiao Feng'er couldn't help but interject, "Talking about someone's husband and some Cloud Qing sister, who are these people"

In fact, not only was Qiao Feng'er confused, even Qiao Xiaoqiao was a bit bewildered. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Husband, you might as well tell me what you've been up to in Mulian County these days."

Summer briefly explained that he hadn't done much recently; the most significant event was fighting with Yun Qing, but he naturally wouldn't go into great detail about this for Qiao Xiaoqiao's sake. However, he did explain clearly the relationship between Yun Qing and Shi Changgeng, as well as the people he had dealt with during these days.

"Huange, look, I told you so! This rogue has been staying in Mulian County for such a long time without going back; it must be that he's mixing around with women here!" Qiao Feng'er said to Qiao Huange.

Qiao Huange smiled but didn't say anything. In her heart, she was wondering why Feng'er was upset when even Miss Qiao wasn’t angry about this situation. Others might think that it was Feng'er who was Summer's wife.

"I didn't expect that County Magistrate Meng would be put under double regulation by the disciplinary committee. This is really troublesome." Qiao Xiaoqiao slightly frowned, "Originally, I was planning to talk to him. Based on my investigation, this County Magistrate Meng is a decent official. Moreover, tourism and investment promotion in MuYang county were originally under his jurisdiction. If we talked to him, it should have been quite smooth."

"Wife, isn't that Meng Jinchai unable to make decisions Even if we talk to him, it won't be useful. We can directly find the one who has the authority and negotiate with them," Xia Tian also had his own thoughts.

"Logically speaking, the person who should have the authority is the County Party Secretary. But according to my investigation, MuYang county's situation is actually quite complicated. The County Party Secretary doesn't seem very authoritative either. It seems that the County Magistrate has more power because he has support from someone in the city," Qiao Xiaoqiao had already conducted an investigation before coming here. "The County Party Secretary is named Xue Shengli, a local official born and raised in MuYang county without much background support. However, with the backing of locals, he has managed to secure his position as Party Secretary. The County Magistrate's name is Wu Yongjun, someone parachuted into this role from elsewhere. It’s rumored that he has close ties with the Secretary of the Municipal Committee of Yinshan city. Since MuYang county falls under the jurisdiction of Yinshan city, even though Wu Yongjun doesn't have much local support, it shouldn’t be underestimated."

In fact, whether it's Yinshan city or MuYang county, they are both rather impoverished areas. Last year, MuYang county’s total GDP was around 3 billion yuan, making them extremely eager for investment. If Qiao Xiaoqiao had proposed investing tens of billions here before Qingfeng Mountain became famous, she would have been worshipped like a goddess. However, now there seem to be many parties interested in investing in Qingfeng Mountain, giving the MuYang county government more confidence and making them start selling at a high price.

Qiao Xiaoqiao was starting to regret it a little; she should have foreseen that such places like Qingfeng Mountain would eventually attract attention. If she had bought Qingfeng Mountain earlier, there wouldn’t be so much trouble now.

Of course, regretting now is useless. What matters most is how to acquire the development rights for Green Peak Mountain.

"Honey, what are you thinking about" Xia Tian couldn't help but ask when he noticed Qiao Xiaoqiao looking absent-minded.

"Nothing much, just some things related to Green Peak Mountain." Qiao Xiaoqiao sweetly smiled at Xia Tian and then changed the subject back to Mu Yang County. "Honey, do you know anything about Shi Changgeng"

"I'm not very familiar with him, but Cloud Qing seems to know him quite well. It's said that he was kind to Cloud Qing's mother, but yesterday someone told me that in fact, Shi Changgeng isn't as good as people say and advised Cloud Qing not to get too close to him or she might end up getting into trouble."

Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded slightly. "Honey, you should probably remind Cloud Qing. According to my investigation, it seems that Shi Changgeng is indeed not a good person. It's said that he has significant influence in Mu Yang County and can handle both legal and illegal matters; he's definitely not an ordinary person."

"Is that so!" Summer thought for a moment, "But I feel like he's really quite nice to Cloud Qing sister."

"That does seem normal. Perhaps he truly considers Yunqing his own daughter," Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded her head, "Actually, based on my investigation, Shi Changgeng has a very close relationship with the county party secretary Xue Shengli; it was Shi Changgeng who got the previous county party secretary removed from office so that Xue Shengli could take this position."

"Honey, if that's the case, let's just go to see Shi Changgeng and ask him to talk to Xue Shengli about selling Qingfeng Mountain to us," Summer quickly came up with an idea; it didn't matter to him whether Shi Changgeng was a good person or not, he only wanted to buy Qingfeng Mountain.

Qiao Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and then nodded: "That sounds good. I haven't been able to contact Wu Yongjun yet, originally planning to ask Meng Jincai to introduce us, but didn’t expect that Meng Jincai was arrested instead. If we were to ask my second uncle for help, it probably wouldn’t be an issue, though I don’t particularly want to do so; let’s follow what you said and contact Shi Changgeng directly."

"Alright then, I’ll give Cloud Qing sister a call," Summer was quite excited as things seemed to be going smoothly. As he spoke, he immediately took out his phone and called Yunqing again.s best to resolve the issue with Gu Hanchuang first; otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.Turning around and looking at Gu Hanchuang sitting on the sofa, Xia Tian asked casually, "Frosty, where's Yuan...
