The best geographical feature here is the presence of a river.
If there really were a jade mine here, it would definitely be advantageous for mining.
You should know some places don’t even have a water source.
Before this, Gu Qiaoqiao had reviewed the data.
There is a vein of rock here.
It’s just about ten meters below the surface.
That means, if mined in the future, this place really needs large-scale construction.
For now, it’s still just a wasteland.
Not far away, there’s a house built of stone.
Fortunately, the nearest town isn’t too far from here.
A drive takes just over an hour to get there.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew that once she had done what she wanted to do, other follow-up matters would naturally be handled by people from the Gu Family.
It’s just that what she wanted to do couldn’t possibly be done right now.
Because Gu Qiaoqiao had spotted someone moving on the opposite bank of the river.
Then, the sharp-eyed Gu Qiaoqiao saw the man in a trench coat from the train, followed by a white cat at his feet.
The contrast of black and white was just too striking.
However, no one else could see them.
And in that instant, the man’s gaze also swept over here.
Somehow, Gu Qiaoqiao just felt that this man could see her.
And, moreover, see her very clearly.
Such a mysterious and eerie person.
And the strangest thing was, how had this man named Dongfang Yu gotten here?
She didn’t seem to notice any cars following behind.
Or perhaps, they were spaced far apart?
Even so, the land on the other side of the river had nothing to do with the Gu Family, so even if she found something odd, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t do anything about it.
She dismissed the thoughts from the bottom of her heart, turned around, and started to survey the direction of the rock vein with Uncle Gu, holding her documents.
At noon, Second Brother Ren, the bodyguard, took out a pot and ingredients from the trunk of the car.
Only then did Gu Qiaoqiao realize that these four bodyguards were really talented and skilled.
This Second Brother Ren turned out to be highly skilled in cooking.
Especially in the wilderness, he was even more adept.
It must be the result of experience.
Second Brother Ren was about thirty years old.
He was tall, but when it came to cooking, he wasn’t awkward at all.
In just a short while, a delicious smell wafted through the air.
It was a big pot of lamb noodles.
The normally strong-smelling lamb had been so skillfully prepared by Second Brother Ren that there wasn’t a hint of it left, just incredibly delicious.
After Gu Qiaoqiao and Uncle Gu had somewhat figured out the course of the vein and surveyed it on site, they happily sat beside the large pot.
Beaming, they started eating the lamb noodles.
Accompanied by Yuhong’s exclusive pickled vegetables, oh, it was really delicious.
Even for someone like Gu Qiaoqiao, who was highly skilled in cooking and very picky about food, she couldn’t help but praise Second Brother Ren.
While eating, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt as if something had appeared beside her.
She turned her head, and the white cat was squatting beside her.
Eagerly looking at the bowl in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly looked around.
She saw no sign of its owner.
And yet, the cat still gazed longingly at Gu Qiaoqiao.
Especially those purple eyes under the noon sun, looked incredibly beautiful.
Uncle Gu naturally knew what the deal was with the cat and asked in surprise, "Qiaoqiao, isn’t that the white cat that came in the car with us last night with that young man? How did that young man get here too?"
As he spoke, Uncle Gu’s expression grew serious.
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Its owner’s name is Dongfang Yu, a scholar of ancient cultures. He said he was going to the valley on the other side to explore, and I saw a figure just now, so it must have been him."
