Frustration!

After being harshly slapped by his own brother, he felt an indescribable sense of grievance!

And he was incredibly angry!

He wanted to curse out loud, but he didn't dare.

He knew his brother had a volatile temper, and if he started arguing with him crazily now, it would only make things worse for himself!

So all he could do now was silently endure...

With that in mind, he shook his head and looked at his brother, ingratiatingly saying, "Brother, everything before was my fault, please don't stoop to my level, and certainly don't let my actions upset you to the point of harming your health; it's just not worth it!"

Hearing his lackey spout such meaningless nonsense, he waved his hand in irritation...

"Cut the crap! Before, you assured me that no one could turn those two barren hills into treasures, but now! Now what! Now what!"

As he bellowed, he really wanted to tear his underling to shreds...

...

"Damn it! When things go well, it's all your credit! When there's trouble, you just blame me! Following you has cursed me for eight lifetimes!"

Being furiously scolded, he muttered to himself in annoyance...

Afterward, he spoke up with a sense of grievance, "Brother, this isn't my fault! I... I had no idea that Haruno Rei could know such an influential big shot!"

At this moment, he was truly frustrated...

Because he had never anticipated the situation turning out like this...

Giving his underling a cold stare, he said in a chilly tone, "You didn't know? There are so many things you don't know. Stop spouting nonsense to me now, just tell me what we should do!"

He knew they had to come up with a good plan now to thoroughly resolve the situation...

Otherwise, if Hu Xiaobei really turned those places into valuable sites, then he would truly suffer a massive loss!

By then, the authorities would definitely investigate.

And once they started investigating, he would have nowhere to turn if it ended badly...

"I... I don't know what we should do now either!"

Hearing his icy question, the lackey shook his head and muttered under his breath...

No sooner had he finished speaking than he sensed a chilling intent to kill...

Lifting his head, he saw his brother staring at him with a cold gaze.

After shivering all over, he forced a dry laugh and hurriedly said, "Brother, I think... Actually, we don't have to be too nervous. Whether that damn Hu Xiaobei really has the capability is still questionable! There's no need for us to create confusion among ourselves!"

Hearing his lackey's explanation, his expression softened slightly, "Are you suggesting that Hu Xiaobei is just bluffing, puffing up his cheeks to look bigger than he is? That he actually can't turn that barren hill into a treasure?"

"I... I don't know! But I think it's very likely! So I feel we don't need to panic, we just need to wait quietly."

"What if, in the end, he really does turn those barren hills into treasures?"

Fear of a single disaster was nothing compared to the fear of a cascading downfall!

He didn't want to take even the slightest risk now...

Sensing his brother's anxiety, he grinned, "Brother, aren't you usually very clever? How come you've become so dull now? Look, if he really has such formidable skills, we can just snatch those barren hills back! We've done shameless things like that before, haven't we?"

"This... You're right!"

After thinking it over carefully, he suddenly smiled...

The next second, he looked at his underling and said with a smile, "It seems that slap I gave you earlier has knocked some sense into your brain!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Although he knew that he was being insulted in a roundabout way, he quickly nodded in agreement...

...

Inside the inn, Hu Xiaobei looked at the mother and daughter and said, "Alright, now that those two barren mountains belong to us, let's start making preparations. By the way, what do you plan to plant on the mountain? Fruit trees or vegetables?"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's question, Haruno Rei and Haruno Nanako exchanged a few words, and quickly, they unanimously chose fruit trees!

They knew that although growing vegetables might generate higher profits, it would also be more troublesome!

So, they still decided to choose fruit trees...

After hearing their choice, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "I see, then later on, you guys order some fruit tree saplings and the like!"

"Okay!"

After agreeing, Haruno Rei quickly went to make a phone call...

After Haruno Rei left, Haruno Nanako looked at Hu Xiaobei and asked, "Xiaobei brother, will those two barren mountains soon be covered with fruit trees far and wide?"

"Yes! Very soon, it will be!"

"That's great, that's really wonderful!"

With an excited cheer, Haruno Nanako turned her head to look at the two barren mountains...

Seeing Haruno Nanako's excited expression, Hu Xiaobei smiled...

He knew that she would be even more excited soon because not long after, the mountains would be full of fruit-laden trees...

...

Inside the inn, many people were chattering excitedly...

"Did you hear? Master Xiaobei is planning to plant fruit trees on those two barren mountains behind the hill!"

"I know, but is that true?"

"Of course, it's true! What? Don't you believe in Master Xiaobei? If that's the case, we don't need to be friends anymore!"

"What are you talking about! Of course, I believe in Master Xiaobei, but planting fruit trees on barren mountains is really not easy! I've been to those mountains before, and there are rocks everywhere. Simply put, it's extremely difficult to get fruit trees to survive there!"

"For us ordinary people, indeed it's difficult! But for Master Xiaobei, these are all trivial matters!"

"That's true! If Master Xiaobei didn't have the ability to turn stones into gold, he wouldn't be worthy of being our idol!"

"Exactly!"

Conversations like this erupted all over the inn...

Everyone was filled with expectation for Hu Xiaobei, believing that he could create a miracle...

...

An hour later, batches of various types of fruit tree saplings were delivered here.

At this time, a large crowd of people surrounded the barren mountains...

Many among them believed that Hu Xiaobei could work wonders!

But still, there were some who did not share that belief...

The most skeptical were the two scumbags who had been chased away by Hu Xiaobei before!

At that moment, those two mingled in the crowd...

Previously, they had left this place in low spirits!

After leaving, they were still worried that Hu Xiaobei would turn their trash into treasure!

After discussing with each other, the two disguised themselves slightly and quickly returned here!

Their purpose in coming back was simple; they wanted to see if Hu Xiaobei really had the skills.

Seeing truckloads of fruit tree saplings being unloaded, the lackey with the swollen half-face twitched his lips slightly...

"Big brother, this Hu Xiaobei is making things very official! Do you think he really is confident, I..."

Hearing the lackey speak in favor of Hu Xiaobei, his brother bellowed with red eyes, "Fuck, shut your mouth!"

"I... yes! Big brother, don't be angry, I... I'll shut up! I'm shutting up right now!"

Knowing his big brother was like a firecracker ready to explode at any moment, he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and dared not say anything else...
