Chapter 291: Falling Ill

"Head of the Family, are you not feeling well?"

A Qing concernedly reached out to touch his forehead—it was very hot.

"I will go pour you a glass of water."

Zhu Yiwen asked A Qing to go to the service desk to get some cold medicine, but he did not move: "You cannot take medicine right now. You drank a lot of alcohol last night; you must wait for the effects of the alcohol to pass before you can take medicine."

Right, reminded by A Qing, he finally remembered; he had forgotten such an important matter.

Jian Yining also came over, and seeing him like this, suggested telling the people from A Country to postpone the trip to see the land by one day, as he needed a good rest now.

Zhu Yiwen was not at ease letting Jian Yining go alone; all things considered, he still held a deep sense of wariness toward Jian Yining.

"I will accompany you." A Qing knew what the Head of the Family was thinking and took the initiative to suggest it.

"Good."

The two of them went out and only returned after more than ten minutes.

It was not just the two of them; there were also people from A Country.

The people from A Country were not only not dissatisfied with the postponed schedule, but they were also very guilty.

They felt that it was because they had let Zhu Yiwen drink too much alcohol yesterday that he had fallen ill today.

The person in charge from A Country took the initiative to state that, to express their apologies and to compensate him, they would give him priority when the auction took place!

This right was very useful; Zhu Yiwen instantly felt that this cold was well worth it.

After resting well for a day without any phone calls to disturb him, Zhu Yiwen's body recovered very quickly, and his fever broke that same evening.

After sleeping well for another night, he was completely better by the next morning.

"Go tell the people from A Country that we are going to see that piece of land today." Zhu Yiwen was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking full of vigor.

"Yes, Head of the Family."

A Qing went out to inform them, and soon everyone was ready to depart, but just as they were about to get into the car, a familiar voice came from behind: "Wait a moment."

Zhu Yiwen was shocked and froze.

He turned his head in disbelief, his head buzzing—Sheng Hanyu and Wang Yong were coming out of the main gate!

How did they come here?

Zhu Yiwen had calculated everything, but he had never calculated that Sheng Hanyu and Wang Yong could appear here.

He had sent people to follow Sheng Hanyu the whole time, from L Country to Jiangzhou.

All the reports were normal, yet the result was that the two of them had come to A Country.

Even if there were accounts to settle, that was a matter for later; now that Sheng Hanyu had arrived, this trip to A Country was destined not to be peaceful.

Before Zhu Yiwen could react, Jian Yining smiled and pointed at Sheng Hanyu, saying to the Ambassador of A Country: "This person has a criminal record and has been to prison before; you should be careful."

"Is that so? We were completely unaware of such a thing..." The Ambassador of A Country expressed great surprise and asked Jian Yining to talk about it in detail.

The two of them went to the side to whisper; Zhu Yiwen did not show it on his face, but he was very happy inside.

However, Sheng Hanyu's expression was not very good; his expression was just unpleasant, yet he could still maintain a superficial harmony.

But Wang Yong could not keep his cool.

Wang Yong walked over in a few strides and roughly grabbed Jian Yining: "Why are you here too? Traitor."

As he spoke, his massive fist was already raised, ready to hit someone.

"Stop, come back."

Sheng Hanyu called Wang Yong back in time, and he stopped listlessly and then went back; the two of them got into another car, and those accompanying them were also people from the Ministry of Commerce of A Country.

Zhu Yiwen and Jian Yining were in the same car.

After getting into the car, Jian Yining started to grumble.

"Are they crazy? Do they think this is still his L Country? Hitting people whenever they want, rude, rascals... Sheng Hanyu's dog nose is sharp enough, he came as soon as he smelled money..."

Zhu Yiwen pretended to be a good person and persuaded him: "Alright, it's not worth getting angry over such people; putting your energy into how to successfully obtain the land is the most important thing."

Sheng Hanyu's appearance was a significant deterrent to Zhu Yiwen.

Even before he had seen the place, he had already subconsciously positioned Sheng Hanyu as his biggest competitor.

"I know the logic, but you don't know how hateful he is..." Jian Yining seemed to still be brooding over the previous incident, and he brought up the matter of Sheng Hanyu suddenly leaving L Country and leaving him in the lurch halfway.

While speaking, they arrived at the place.

It was actually very far, but because Jian Yining had been chattering incessantly without stopping, the journey did not seem that long.

However, upon arriving at the place, Zhu Yiwen frowned.

This place... is not quite the same as what was shown in the documents!

The documents said that quite a bit of gold had been dug up here in the past, which was why it was determined to have a gold vein and was cordoned off by the country.

Now the place was indeed cordoned off, but the surroundings were a barren wasteland; no matter how one looked at it, it did not look like a place with a gold vein.

"Mr. Sheng, please this way."

Just as he was hesitating, the Ministry of Commerce of A Country walked past him with Sheng Hanyu's group.

Sheng Hanyu had come prepared and was better prepared than him.

They had not just come over to take a look; they had brought professional personnel and equipment.

The group walked forward toward a Swamp not far away, and then several people began to get busy at the edge of the Swamp.

Wang Yong's hostile gaze would occasionally glance toward their position...

Jian Yining suggested: "Shall we go over and take a look too?"

"No need."

Zhu Yiwen only walked around the perimeter, took a look, and then got into the car, preparing to head back.

Jian Yining followed: "I don't think this place looks like it has gold, but what are they looking for?"

In fact, Zhu Yiwen held the same opinion.

This place doesn't look like it has a gold vein at all; if Sheng Hanyu hadn't also come along, he would have treated this as a trip and prepared to return to his country upon going back.

But Sheng Hanyu came, and even brought survey personnel, so he could not afford to not take it seriously.

He has crossed paths with Sheng Hanyu, with both wins and losses.

But he still understands something of that man's temperament and character: he never does useless work!

Zhu Yiwen is suspicious by nature; he is afraid of misjudging the situation, and also afraid that Sheng Hanyu wants to trap him by deliberately putting on a show for him.

So he pretended not to care and left early.

After leaving, he could just come back again.

For such a large project, one certainly wouldn't look at it only once, and he believes the people from the A Country Ministry of Commerce can also understand.

They understood, and agreed very readily.

After returning, Zhu Yiwen split his forces into two groups, and he told A Qing to wait for them to come back.

To get close to the survey personnel brought by Sheng Hanyu and use money to bribe them, to see if he could fish out any useful information.

Then he returned to his room to sleep, preparing to go over there again at night.

In many places, one cannot just look during the day; looking at night will reveal a different scene.

Sheng Hanyu and his group returned.

A Qing went to find the survey personnel to drink.

Zhu Yiwen only brought a driver and one bodyguard, took the customs entry documents, and set off again.

This time, without Jian Yining chattering on the road, it felt especially long.

But it was not without any gains.

The night in A Country has a different kind of scenery; countless stars hang across the entire deep blue sky, the starlight brilliant.

What is magical is that the horizon emits a faint, pale green light, just like an aurora.

And the place that is glowing is the place they are preparing to go to.

When they arrived at the place and looked, it was simply so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off it!

What kind of earthly paradise is this?

The pale green light was emitted from that Marsh, which is covered in reeds; it looked unremarkable during the day.

But at night, illuminated by this light, every single reed is golden, as if it were crafted from gold!

"Wow, it's too beautiful!" the bodyguard beside him exclaimed.

However, the bodyguard saw scenery, but in Zhu Yiwen's eyes, this scenery was all money!

It was already the second half of the night when he returned to his lodging.

A Qing had not slept and was guarding his door waiting for him to return.

"Come in and speak."

Closing the door, A Qing told Zhu Yiwen: "Head of the Family, those two people said that the Marsh indeed has gold, with an extremely high content; whoever owns that place will possess countless wealth."
