Ding ding ding!
Around three in the afternoon, Cheng Xiaofan, who was lying in his rocking chair, heard his phone ring.
He took out his phone and saw it was from his "White Goddess."
Cheng Xiaofan quickly pressed the answer button and asked, "White Goddess, is something wrong?"
Bai Yiling said, "Xiaofan, District Mayor Mei and the visitors from the capital have arrived."
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Tell District Mayor Mei I'm handling some matters in the back mountain and can't leave for the moment."
"I'll be back later!"
Bai Yiling could tell that this mysterious man of hers was intentionally avoiding such an occasion.
She could only say, "Okay, I'll tell District Mayor Mei."
After hanging up, Cheng Xiaofan plunged directly into his space.
Instead of lying idly in the rocking chair, he might as well go to his space and have some beauties lie with him.
In any case, the Meng Xizi一行人 would not arrive at Zhuxi Village until the sun began to set.
...
"This Cheng Xiaofan is too outrageous!"
"We've come all the way from the capital, and he dares to avoid us?"
"Even if he has immense abilities, he shouldn't be so arrogant!"
A man named Fu Mingdao, after hearing Mei Haoran's report, said indignantly.
The other two people beside him angrily echoed, "Officer Fu is right, this Cheng Xiaofan is truly too arrogant!"
Mei Haoran said with a fawning smile, "Officer Fu, please calm down!"
"Cheng Xiaofan must be dealing with something urgent, otherwise, he wouldn't have refused to come!"
Seeing this, Bai Yiling quickly dialed Cheng Xiaofan's number again.
Who would have thought!
After dialing for a long time, there was only a busy signal and no other sound.
She knew very well that there were several signal towers installed in the back mountain, so Cheng Xiaofan should have a signal. Where had he gone?
"Everyone, I'm sorry, Xiaofan's phone is showing a busy signal,"
Bai Yiling could only speak the truth, "He might have gone to the Bai Mang Lake area!"
The signal in the Bai Mang Lake area was very good.
She truly couldn't find any other reason, so she could only use this to fob them off.
Fu Mingdao said with a dark face, "Cheng Xiaofan clearly knew we were coming,"
"He is definitely trying to avoid us!"
Mei Haoran quickly said, "Officer Fu, please don't misunderstand,"
"I know Cheng Xiaofan very well, he wouldn't do something like this!"
"Come, come, the pastries in Zhuxi Village are excellent,"
"Everyone, please try them!"
Under Mei Haoran's repeated persuasion, Fu Mingdao and the others finally sat down at the table.
One of them took a piece of pastry from the plate on the table and put it in his mouth.
After chewing a few times, he immediately exclaimed in shock, "This taste is exquisite!"
"They say pastries from the capital are renowned worldwide."
"But they can't compare to these pastries at all!"
Fu Mingdao ate a piece and his eyes widened.
He thought to himself, no wonder Zhuxi Village is known as a famous gourmet village.
This is by no means an exaggeration.
How much income do these delicacies alone bring to the village each year!
"Everyone, please try Zhuxi Village's Golden Tea!"
At this moment, seeing that Fu Mingdao and the others had calmed down, Bai Yiling walked over with a tray holding several cups of tea.
This tea was given to her by Cheng Xiaofan.
She had brought out all of it this time.
Fu Mingdao took a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
The aroma of the tea wafting from the cup immediately captivated him.
What kind of tea was this? Why was it so fragrant?
Just smelling the tea's aroma made his spirits soar several times.
He couldn't wait to take a sip and blurted out in praise, "What a fine tea!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Fu Mingdao felt a pang of regret.
He thought to himself, I am a prominent figure after all.
Why did I lose my composure in front of common people?
This is not my usual demeanor!
Alas!
It's all this tea's fault!
"Officer Fu,"
At this moment, Mei Haoran said with a smile, "This Golden Tea,"
"was cultivated by Cheng Xiaofan."
"Zhuxi Village has many specialties, for example, the 'Happy Wine' and 'Drunken Chicken' produced by Cheng Xiaofan's mother are sold overseas."
Fu Mingdao asked, "Why is it called Happy Wine?"
Mei Haoran replied, "Because no matter who drinks the Happy Wine,"
"they will feel particularly joyful."
"People who generally suffer from depression,"
"after drinking a bottle of Happy Wine, their depression can be completely cured."
Fu Mingdao scoffed, "Mei Haoran, are you telling stories from Liaozhai?"
"Does such wine exist in this world?"
Mei Haoran chuckled, "Officer Fu may not know,"
"This Happy Wine was developed by Cheng Xiaofan himself."
"Happy Wine is divided into premium and regular grades."
"Among them, only Cheng Xiaofan can produce the premium grade Happy Wine."
"Due to its extremely limited quantity, it is never seen on the market."
"As early as last year, Cheng Xiaofan was invited to Haicheng to participate in the World Famous Wine Competition."
"A single bottle of Happy Wine was auctioned for ten billion!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Mingdao once again lost his dignified demeanor as an official.
With a shocked expression, he asked, "What, auctioned for ten billion?"
"Does drinking this premium Happy Wine allow one to ascend to immortality?"
Mei Haoran smiled and said, "Ascending to immortality is impossible."
"However, at that auction, Cheng Xiaofan used half a bottle of premium Happy Wine,"
"to cure a late-stage stomach cancer patient from Great Britain."
Fu Mingdao was extremely shocked and said, "Half a bottle of premium Happy Wine cured a late-stage stomach cancer patient, this sounds like a legend!"
Mei Haoran stated, "But this is indeed the truth!"
Fu Mingdao inquired, "Since the premium Happy Wine is so valuable,"
"why doesn't Cheng Xiaofan produce it in large quantities?"
Mei Haoran smiled and replied, "As far as I know, due to the scarcity of raw materials,"
"Cheng Xiaofan cannot produce it in large quantities."
Fu Mingdao's heart stirred. When would he get his hands on this Zhuxi Village?
And if he could control Cheng Xiaofan at the same time, how much money would he make!
With this thought, Fu Mingdao sneered inwardly.
With his power and influence, plus more formidable figures in the capital backing him, controlling the entire Zhuxi Village and Cheng Xiaofan would be a simple matter.
However!
That was a matter for later.
His purpose for coming today was to seize Cheng Xiaofan's gold.
And the Golden God Temple, and bring them under his control.
Hmph!
What Golden God Temple, is that a place for commoners like you to reside?
Whose god are you? This is too arrogant!
You can play the god in a small country,
but on the land of China,
you'll never be able to!
With this thought, Fu Mingdao let out a cold laugh and said, "Mei Haoran, from what you've said,"
"this Cheng Xiaofan is indeed quite capable!"
Mei Haoran smiled and replied, "Indeed. Otherwise, the Bureau of Jianghu Affairs wouldn't have recommended Cheng Xiaofan to campaign in the small country."
"Look, just a few days after Cheng Xiaofan went there, he resolved the virus problem in that small country."
Upon hearing this, Fu Mingdao's face instantly darkened.
