Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1207: Chapter 1206: Claiming Everything for Oneself

"Those outsiders, they don’t really understand the reason. They just think the old village chief wants to raise the price so he can sell it at a higher price later.

Because of this, the old village chief received a lot of scolding. He explained it a thousand times, but it was no use! In the end, the old village chief gave up on explaining, just went with the flow, and stopped letting outsiders into the village to avoid conflict."

The things happening in the village were all new to Gu Tong and Xia Xi, but for Chen Pi, who was born and raised in Yanggou Village, it wasn’t strange at all.

Because, when Chen Pi was little, the village was already chaotic like this. Even after he grew up, the conflicts in the village hadn’t ceased, yet the village’s rules had become a habit, and no one found them strange.

It must be said, humans are indeed creatures of habit. If they are kept in the same stage for a long time, they will gradually adapt to the outside world.

Eventually, they will see everything as normal, without any strangeness at all.

The burial ground was where Xia Xi wanted to go, and it was their destination for coming here.

As for the fool who spent a high price buying a piece of graveyard, according to Chen Pi, that was Xia Xi herself.

Actually, she could always enter Yanggou Village as a buyer!

However, the villagers of Yanggou Village were too peculiar. They were always very repulsive to outsiders, and Xia Xi had suffered a few times. If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have spent unnecessary money to find Chen Pi.

Gu Tong glanced at Xia Xi, knowing more or less about the matters of Yanggou Village. This place was indeed extremely complicated.

The meal was eaten quickly, in about twenty minutes or so, and Gu Tong got all the information she wanted to know. She didn’t stay there long but returned to the room with Xia Xi.

...

’Creak--’

Xia Xi closed the door, softly saying, "I told you, there’s something strange about this place."

A village that doesn’t let outsiders in, holding tens of thousands of graves, yet with no intention of selling them. It’s clear without much thought that something’s wrong.

"None of the old man’s things are simple. I just didn’t expect it to be this complicated."

Gu Tong had known long ago that the old man of the Li Family was extraordinary, with national treasures in hand, immense wealth, and overwhelming power. Yet he could vanish without a trace, leaving no trail.

Over twenty years! How old is Li Yan?

The old man has been missing for as long as that.

One must know, the old man is like a walking money vault, a mobile treasure map. How many people in this world are coveting him, eager to snatch all his wealth for themselves.

But! Even so, the old man could still remain unharmed. That might be the strangest thing of all.

"You’ve been here many times. Have you mapped it out?" Gu Tong raised an eyebrow, finally getting to the crux of the matter.

"Of course." Xia Xi said without hesitation, opening a package, and taking out a tablet that seemed out of place for this era. She swiped it a couple of times and pointed to a spot, saying, "It’s right here. This is where the old man’s grave is!

I’ve checked the geographical position. This location is off-center, so we can rule out the possibility of an array!"

The location Xia Xi pointed to was indeed somewhat off, situated more towards the upper right of the lower corner. The grave placed here felt incongruent, standing out a bit awkwardly.
