Zhu Zishan’s approach was to stay at the resort with Luo Yang.
When others couldn’t constantly criticize Luo Yang in his presence, Zhu Zishan felt that she had the opportunity to control him.
At the very least, she could persuade him to help her with some tasks.
Currently, there were many advisors by Luo Yang’s side, and whatever he did, someone would offer him advice.
Mother Zhu also thought Luo Yang was a capable young man and wanted to leverage his strength to find her husband.
But Luo Yang wasn’t easy to deceive; he would help them if he could.
And if he couldn’t help with certain matters, Luo Yang would consider them carefully.
"Mom, I’m already this old, don’t I know what to do? Am I that foolish?" Zhu Zishan retorted.
Mother Zhu has always known her daughter to be very smart.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Mother Zhu was half-convinced.

Meanwhile, Luo Yang took Tang Guihua and An Yuying to a small earthen mound.
He wanted to talk to them about the affairs of Mother Zhu and Zishan.
In fact, he hoped Tang Guihua and An Yuying could find a chance to eavesdrop or snoop around, to see if they could dig up any traces of Blood Devil.
This task couldn’t be entrusted to just anyone.
After all, it wouldn’t look good if word got out.
Luo Yang trusted Tang Guihua and An Yuying, it made the most sense to ask for their help.
Firstly, they were both quite obedient to Luo Yang; they would help whenever he asked.
Secondly, they wouldn’t casually reveal his secrets.
Seeing Luo Yang light a cigarette without speaking, Tang Guihua said, "Niu Zai, why did you bring Mother here?"
Luo Yang hadn’t prepared his wording, and replied with a smile, "Sister Guihua, the scenery here is pretty good..."
Before he could finish, Tang Guihua rolled her eyes.
As a villager, she often saw the scenery here and found nothing new or exciting about it.
"Niu Zai, are you trying to make fun of Mother?" Tang Guihua said in a playful chiding tone.
"Sister Guihua, I..."
While speaking, he looked around cautiously.
He didn’t want others to overhear what he was about to ask them to do.
An Yuying noticed his secretive manner and curiously asked, "Niu Zai, what’s the matter?"
From Luo Yang’s vigilant demeanor, Tang Guihua also sensed something was amiss and wondered if Luo Yang had encountered something frightening.
"Niu Zai, what are you looking for?" Tang Guihua asked.
She also scanned the surroundings, but nothing seemed amiss.
Luo Yang laughed, "Sister Guihua, Sister An, don’t worry. It’s not something scary. Just don’t tell anyone."
They both fixed their gaze on him, waiting for him to continue.
So Luo Yang gestured for them to come closer.
But he was still smoking, and they didn’t want to inhale the secondhand smoke.
Tang Guihua stepped forward, snatched the cigarette from his hand, and said, "Don’t smoke so much normally."
An Yuying also advised, "Niu Zai, smoking is bad for your health. You should quit soon."
Quitting smoking isn’t easy to do just by saying so.
Luo Yang didn’t want to argue with them, smiled, and said, "I got it. Sister Guihua, Sister An, I need you to help me with something."
He also spoke very carefully, which made Tang Guihua and An Yuying even more curious.
"Niu Zai, what is it exactly?" Tang Guihua pressed.
Then Luo Yang explained to them what he wanted to be done.
After explaining, he continued, "Sister Guihua, Sister An, just inquire casually. There’s no need to investigate deliberately. They are not ordinary people, and if your inquiries are too obvious, you might alert them."
Tang Guihua scoffed, "You invited them to live in the village, and you don’t know anything about them?"
This was something that couldn’t be explained clearly.
"Sister Guihua, Sister An, I’ll explain in detail to you later..."
While he was speaking, the ringtone of Luo Yang’s phone sounded.
He pulled it out to see, it was Zhu Zishan calling.
