Chapter 683: Chapter 682: Conveniently Handed Over a Ladder
Done!
Just a Town Chief, what is he, really? Can they be stronger than officials and the Prefect? If someone with that kind of backing existed, what couldnāt they do?
Hou Ling had been holding back for a long time and had long wanted to move against the Lu Family. His ancestors were merely butchers, and the trade had been passed down from generation to generation. Because of this restraint and their inability to network, they were eventually driven out of Taiping Town.
Such humiliation and frustration!
Was it because Hou Family had no one that they had to endure such treatment?
Hou Ling couldnāt stand it!
Therefore, at a young age, he learned martial arts. No matter what his future held, he thought about being able to protect his family and not be bullied by others.
And the most important thing was that he wanted the Hou Family to re-establish itself in Taiping Town because it was where several generations of his family had their roots. He didnāt want to see his grandfather sighing deeply yet feeling helpless.
This woman before him had brought the most precious support; how could he not be moved?
"Miss, even if I want to do it, you have to give me some proof, right? The Hou Family may be small, but the Lu Family has four or five grandsons, and I heard thereās another on the way. In case they come after me, I need to know where to find you," Hou Ling wasnāt a simpleton; he had his own schemes, thinking that Purple Jade might be setting a trap for him!
Purple Jade looked at him with a half-smile and said, "If anything, you can find me at Suishan Restaurant in the county. My name is Purple Jade."
Hou Ling praised with a grin, "Sister, your name is really beautiful."
"Donāt butter me up. Time is short. Do you have a plan? I want to see the Lu Familyās foundation crumble as soon as possible!" Purple Jade scrutinized him.
"Sister, donāt rush. Itās a big matter; I have to discuss it with my family first," Hou Ling said.
Purple Jade snorted and said, "I know what youāre planning, but let me tell you, once you miss this opportunity, thereās no other chance. If you canāt do it, speak up now. Donāt waste my time; Iāll have to find someone else."
"Donāt scold me," Hou Ling quickly said. "As Sister has said, with a family as filthy as the Lu Family, thereās no need to dirty your hands. Leave it to Hou."
"What are you going to do?"
Hou Ling snorted coldly, "Sister, since you could find out where I am, you must also know about the pig farm the Lu Family started last year."
Purple Jade did not speak, only watching him.
"That pig farm is not just the Lu Familyās; it also involves the Village Constable and the Town Chief. If something goes wrong with that farm, will the Lu Family be okay?" Hou Ling smirked coldly, "Profit has always been the basis for their relationship. If they canāt get it, would the trust built on profit still exist? If that isnāt enough, then threaten the Town Chief. Will they still protect the Lu Family? I donāt believe their trust is as close as father and son!"
Purple Jadeās eyes flashed with appreciation, "You plan to start with this pig farm?"
Hou Ling chuckled.
A spark of insight flashed in Purple Jadeās mind, and she looked at him intently, "Actually, youāve wanted to start from here all along, havenāt you? Just that you havenāt found the opportunity. Now that Iām here, Iām practically handing you a ladder!"
Otherwise, how could he have thought of the pig farm and explained these interests?
Clever boy, he almost had her fooled.
Hou Ling said slyly, "Sister is really smart. I wonāt hide it from you, Iāve wanted to move against the Lu Family, hehe. So sister, donāt worry, I will surely satisfy you and the master behind you!"
Purple Jade looked at him deeply, "You must be quick, ruthless, and accurate, without giving the Lu Family a chance to catch their breath. And Iām not afraid to say, their family is currently busy because of their auntieās affair, itās their vulnerable moment." She paused for a moment before adding, "Whatever you do, you canāt harm the common folk, or else we canāt protect you!"
