"I'm not in a hurry. The manor is developing steadily right now. I just need to adjust my development strategy moving forward," Ling Zhenfei knew that securing investment was not as simple as having a meal with a few people.

Chu He patted Ling Zhenfei on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry. I don't have that many matters to attend to. I'll invest ten million in my personal capacity first. After I return, I will find a designer to formulate a good plan and then discuss the development with you."

"Thank you, Brother Chu." Ling Zhenfei could tell that Chu He genuinely wanted to help him; he was a man who valued relationships deeply.

"Same for me. Even if the company doesn't invest, I will still make a personal investment. I'll get the news to you as soon as possible," Zhang Kang also appeared full of confidence.

Li Ru did not speak but gave him a glance. Her beautiful face was full of charm, but her eyes conveyed a message to Ling Zhenfei to be at ease.

The three of them drank tea and talked, each appearing ambitious about the future. After lunch, Ling Zhenfei's relationship with the three had become very tacit, and the atmosphere of their conversation was very relaxed.

Under Li Ru's patient explanation, Ling Zhenfei became even more convinced of taking a diversified development approach, aiming to make Xishan Manor a well-known enterprise nationwide.

They talked until the afternoon, when Chu He and the others excused themselves from Ling Zhenfei. They had planned to stay another day, but Li Ru and Zhang Kang thought such matters should not be delayed and decided to leave a day early.

Ling Zhenfei gave them some vegetables from his manor as a parting gift, since he didn't have much else, and these vegetables were a bit of a local specialty.

When they were leaving, Ling Zhenfei came over to Li Ru's car to say goodbye.

"Sister Li, I want to give you something special," he said, handing Li Ru a piece of paper.

Li Ru took it, looking at Ling Zhenfei with curiosity and a smile. "Could it be that you were attracted by my beauty at first sight and now you want to give me a love letter?"

Ling Zhenfei was startled; he hadn't expected Li Ru to tease him. When they were all together, Li Ru had always been very elegant, and she had never joked like this before.

"Sister, you're as beautiful as an angel, and not only was I attracted by your beauty, but also by your unique analysis and vision. However, it's not yet time for me to send love letters. What I'm giving you is a prescription."

Li Ru was taken aback, "A prescription?"

"That's right, a prescription. Please don't take it the wrong way. Brother Chu must have told you that I am a doctor. During our conversation earlier, I noticed something wasn't right with your health. It wasn't appropriate to say anything in front of Brother Chu and Brother Zhang, so I could only write down a prescription to give you now."

Li Ru was even more surprised. She opened the prescription and looked at it, "You can tell there's something wrong with my health just by talking to me? Can you describe my symptoms?"

Ling Zhenfei knew that Li Ru was deliberately testing him. This woman was as beautiful as a heavenly being, elegant in the presence of others like a fairy from the Moon Palace, yet also very casual and inscrutable behind closed doors.

"Sister, you don't have any serious illness, but occasionally you suffer from cold hands and feet that lack strength, accompanied by aching pains, especially during those few days of the month when the pain becomes unbearable and the blood is dark in color. After your period, you feel even more fatigued..."

"Enough, I believe you," Li Ru interrupted Ling Zhenfei before he could finish, looking at him incredulously, as every symptom that Ling Zhenfei had described was exactly right. If one didn't know better, they might think he had seen it with his own eyes.

"I only know a little bit of medical arts, and dare not call myself an expert. The usage and dosage are all written on the paper. Sister, please take the medicine on time after you return home; I hope it can help you."

Suddenly, Li Ru leaned close to Ling Zhenfei, her beautiful face coming very close to his, so close it was only inches away. Her flawless beauty was mesmerizing and endearing.

"I really didn't expect to become more and more interested in you as a person."

"Sister Xie flatters me, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

As the car drove out of the village, Ling Zhenfei was no longer in sight, but his heart began to stir slowly.

Now that the development of the manor has a new direction, he must make some changes. As Li Ru said, the first thing to do is to take over the mountain behind the manor to develop a leisure manor. So the first thing to do now is to acquire Xi Shan behind Xishan Manor.

"To take over this mountain, whom should I find?"

The mountain also belonged to their village, so naturally, he should talk to Wang Changhe. Thinking of Wang Changhe, he recalled the farce from a few days ago—the whole Wang Changhe family's farce—the incident where Wang Quan was drenched in urine and feces, utterly losing face. Now, to negotiate with Wang Changhe about the mountain contract was definitely impossible, but the matter was too important to ignore. It seemed he had no choice but to come up with a good plan.

Ling Zhenfei thought hard and came up with a risky but good idea. As soon as it started to darken, he headed toward Wang Changhe's house. He intended to confront Wang Changhe alone and pluck a few feathers from the miser in the process.

Wang Changhe's home was brightly lit, with the lights on as soon as it began to get dark, and the faint scent of cooking wafted from within.

Ling Zhenfei walked up and knocked on the door a few times, then heard someone cursing inside as they came out.

"What's all this knocking? Don't you know it's dinner time?"

As the person spoke, they opened the gate, and it turned out to be Wang Quan. Wang Quan caught sight of Ling Zhenfei standing outside, looked as if he had seen a ghost, and ran off screaming Wang Changhe's name.

Ling Zhenfei didn't get scared but lifted his leg and walked inside. Just as he reached the courtyard entrance, he saw Wang Quan and Wang Changhe rushing out, each wielding a stick, looking fiercely as if they were about to devour him.

"Ling Zhenfei, you've got some nerve making a young master drink urine and eat shit. Today, I'm going to beat the shit out of you."

"Really asking for trouble, delivering yourself right to my doorstep."

The two swung their sticks at Ling Zhenfei, who quickly dodged to the side and said to Wang Changhe and Wang Quan, "Stop it, both of you, I'm here to save you."

Wang Changhe and Wang Quan were both stunned upon hearing this, not knowing who Ling Zhenfei was referring to: Wang Quan or Wang Changhe.

"What do you mean, save whom?" Wang Quan asked Ling Zhenfei, holding up his stick.

"Save you, of course. You're already seriously ill. Haven't you noticed?" Ling Zhenfei spoke earnestly.

"Ling Zhenfei, you're fucking spouting nonsense. Don't I know whether I am sick or not?" Wang Quan didn't listen to Ling Zhenfei and swung the stick in his hand at him.

Wang Changhe had been waiting on the side; seeing Wang Quan act, he joined in, swinging his stick and smacking it down on Ling Zhenfei.
