Xuan Yanwu had investigated all the relevant personnel involved here.
Inside an office, Xuan Yanwu looked at several members of the tenth division sitting inside and began to inquire.
"Have the circumstances of those investors been investigated?"
"Yes, from what we’ve investigated, they have no direct connection with the situation here; they are all investors brought in by Ji Yang."
"Ji Yang?" Xuan Yanwu seriously began to study Ji Yang for the first time.
After looking over Ji Yang’s development, Xuan Yanwu still did not find anything particularly unusual about him. The young mayor’s entire career, although somewhat special, was not anything out of the ordinary, especially when compared to the even faster development of the children from major families.
"Is there anything special about Ji Yang?"
"No, he has always been the serious and conscientious type. After coming to Shisong County, he was also focused on development and came across the ancient cultivation sites by chance. He did not pay much attention to the affairs here."
Xuan Yanwu nodded to herself. She had also seriously analyzed this aspect. Ji Yang indeed did not care much about the ancient cultivation matters. In fact, when things got busy here, Ji Yang delegated all the work to those who wanted to benefit from it and went to Xiashan County to tackle corruption instead.
Xuan Yanwu had also seen the anti-corruption efforts in Xiashan County. To her surprise, Ji Yang had uncovered human trafficking there, then launched a massive anti-corruption campaign.
Thus, it seemed Ji Yang had little to do with the ancient cultivation sites.
Then, what was the real story with the female investors who secured key plots of land?
To be honest, this was also the focus of Xuan Yanwu’s investigation.
"When it comes to those investors, it’s really luck. They went for the land at the earliest opportunity, initially aiming for plots near the ancient cultivation sites, but the families from Capital City got wind of it first and secured those plots."
Xuan Yanwu’s curiosity peaked, and she asked, "During the land acquisition process, did Ji Yang intervene?"
"No, during the whole process, Ji Yang didn’t even send greetings, much less get involved. It was all done by the investors themselves, and the county’s sales process was open and transparent without any issues."
The person reporting added, "Everyone at all levels takes this matter very seriously, and if there were any problems, they would have surfaced long ago." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel•fire.net
Xuan Yanwu nodded slightly, "So, when acquiring the land, they first wanted the plots closer to the sites. When they didn’t get those, they then went for the ones they hold now."
"Lucky stars really are on their side, huh!"
Initially, Xuan Yanwu suspected those women or perhaps Ji Yang knew something that could uncover the inheritance issues, but as it turned out, not only was Ji Yang uninvolved, he even appeared indifferent to the matters here. Although the female investors had a good relationship with Ji Yang, he had not facilitated their endeavors. Everything they achieved was through their own competition.
The Gan Family intended to take over everything here, but upon their arrival, they became trapped by a mysterious Formation, making the situation even more enigmatic and unclear.
The original idea of the Xuan Family was to let the Gan Family take over this place while no one else was paying attention. Now, that was completely unfeasible. As the news of the ancient cultivation spread, even their intentional cover-ups weren’t sufficient anymore, and forces from the Blessed Lands and Caves began to send people here.
Xuan Yanwu had already noticed several families from within the Blessed Lands and Caves dispatching people.
With these families arriving, the place was no longer exclusive to the Xuan Family.
While thinking about this, someone outside came to report that several families’ representatives had arrived.
Originally wanting to suppress the news, now it was impossible to do so, as everyone wanted to discover why cultivators here weren’t affected by the Mortal Dust Qi.
Xuan Yanwu knew she was unable to suppress it any longer and could only allow those from families associated with Blessed Lands and Caves to be invited in.
Times had changed, and those who entered were no longer dressed in ancient attire but wore the clothing typical of ordinary people.
Once everyone entered, their gazes turned towards Xuan Yanwu.
"Little Xuan, your Xuan Family is not playing fair, are you? Discovering such a place and trying to cover it up, planning to monopolize it?"
A woman, no less stunning than Xuan Yanwu, walked in. As she entered, the temperature in the room seemed to rise.
This enchanting woman was radiating a sensuality that stirred desire in men.
"Gedianxiang, why are you here from the Blessed Lands and Caves of the Ge Family?"
Xuan Yanwu’s expression soured; the Ge Family had also sent someone, making matters more complicated.
"Oh, if you can come, why can’t I? Is this place yours?"
The visiting woman took a seat on a chair on her own accord.
