Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Everything Is in the Answer

"There’s another blueprint!"

Xu Zhi’s voice was filled with excitement. When she first saw the overall plan of Redwood Resort, she became curious about the designer behind it.

But there was no information available about who the designer was.

Lu Xining’s eyes showed a solemn expression. Initially, Redwood Resort had gone bankrupt before it opened, becoming a hot potato.

Years later when it was auctioned again, it attracted quite a number of big players.

Jingzhou, Port City, Hai City, and Rongzhou...

Although she had prepared a foolproof plan and was determined to win the land at any cost, thinking back now, besides Ji Muye and Zhou Jiawang stepping back, it seemed like the others hadn’t given their all either.

Before the official auction for Redwood Resort, many businesses had already sent teams to survey the area, some even stayed here for half a month.

Was it really just to analyze the future value of the plot?

Or was there some other secret hidden within this land?

Lu Xining suddenly thought of Cheng Cang, who had previously come to ZN Experimental Base to move bricks; he might know something.

However, after the completion of the ZN Experimental Base, Cheng Cang left with his subordinates, and it had been almost half a month since she last saw him.

Lu Xining left the children in the care of Fu Junhang and went directly to the repair shop with a group of bodyguards.

What she found was nothing but ruins!

The site was filled with people from nearby picking up scrap metal. Lu Xining stopped a relatively friendly-looking old man and asked about the situation here.

"This used to be a repair shop. Just a few days ago, it was suddenly engulfed by a huge fire, burned to the ground, and I heard several people died in that fire!"

"Young lady, are you here looking for someone?" the old man curiously looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him.

Lu Xining nodded: "Looking for a friend."

"Can’t get in touch with him? I’ll tell you, the people here either went underground or they are at Fuxian County Hospital, you can go there to check; hope he is just injured and not gone to burn paper elsewhere."

After thanking the old man, Lu Xining got back into her car.

Watching the departing black car convoy, the old man she had just questioned straightened up instantly, showing no signs of old age, and the garbage pickers nearby quickly gathered around him.

"Tell Brother Cang, the fish took the bait."

Everyone scattered with their ragged bags in hand.

Little did they know, the cars that had supposedly left were parked just around the corner, watching the ’old men’ swiftly depart.

Lu Xining to her driver said, "Go to Fuxian County Hospital."

This is Fuxian’s best and only hospital, where almost the entire town’s people seek medical treatment.

Only those seriously ill would go to the provincial hospital in Yun City.

The hospital’s wards were completely filled, with several beds even arranged in the hallways, cries of pain and sobs being the norm of the hospital.

Lu Xining, holding a basket of fruit purchased at the hospital entrance, made her way through the crowd to Cheng Cang’s single room.

He was lying by the window; hearing the knock, Cheng Cang’s gaze moved from the chirping birds outside back inside.

Seeing Lu Xining there, Cheng Cang was somewhat surprised, "How did you know I was here?"

"I had something to discuss and went to the repair shop looking for you, found it in ruins, heard from people that if you weren’t at the hospital, you might be underground, so I came to check."

Cheng Cang’s lips twitched slightly.

He laughed, "This is the first time I realized, you’re quite humorous in your speech."

"Just ask whatever you want to know directly," Cheng Cang’s eyes glancing at the casually placed fruit basket on the table, with a hint of amusement in his pupils.

Lu Xining sat down on the accompanying chair, foregoing further small talk, her clear sharp eyes staring directly into Cheng Cang’s.

She got straight to the point, "How much do you know about Redwood Resort?"

The man’s pupils clearly underwent a change.

Cheng Cang’s eyes swiveled around, and he looked at her meaningfully, saying, "Haven’t you looked at that document even now?"

His gaze was teasing, as if to say: I knew you hadn’t looked.

He casually took an orange from the fruit basket on the table, and as he peeled it, Cheng Cang said, "I told you, the answers you want are all in there."

Initially, Lu Xining wasn’t ready to open that ’Pandora’s Box.’ Later, she got immersed in the entry work of various experimental techniques and got busy, completely forgetting about the document.

Now at his mention, she just remembered there was such a thing.

Seeing her bewildered yet instantly sober expression, Cheng Cang knew he had guessed right.

The document he gave her had never been opened until now; he really didn’t know whether to say she was cautious or just forgetful.

He directly pointed out the doubts in her heart: "You wanted to ask about the cliff behind the Redwood Resort, didn’t you?"

Lu Xining did not deny it.

Cheng Cang had a demeanor of a street rogue.

But at this moment, as he lay on the hospital bed deeply gazing at her, there was a sense of him playing dumb while being a tiger.

Lu Xining felt more scrutiny in her heart.

"The Redwood Resort was originally a property of the Chu Family, left by your grandfather to your mother. But your mother didn’t take over, and after the land was developed, it wasn’t opened for business and gradually became desolate."

From his words, Lu Xining also learned that not only the Redwood Resort but also Yunqiao Village where they were staying was owned by the Chu Family.

"Surprised?"

Cheng Cang watched the shock in her eyes while smiling, his closely cropped hair and blue-and-white striped hospital gown making the fierce aura about him fade a bit.

In the quiet hospital room, there was the man’s low chuckling.

Cheng Cang’s little brothers standing at the door, and the bodyguards brought by Lu Xining, stood a short distance apart, neither yielding to the other, their ears perked up listening to the noises inside, ready to rush in at any time.

"Lu Xining, you should trust me."

He arched his brows, seeing her stunned for a moment from surprise, but she quickly regained her composure.

Hearing Cheng Cang’s later words, Lu Xining concealed the emotions in her eyes.

Looking at the sincere expression emerging on his face, she nodded lightly, "I will have someone verify it. If you are indeed the person my grandfather left for me as you claim, I will try to trust you."

When she left the hospital room, she casually asked, "What about the auto repair shop?"

Mentioning this, Cheng Cang couldn’t help but clench his molars tightly, his eyes brimming with intense rage, wishing he could skin that person alive!

"I don’t know which bastard informed those people about the auto repair shop. Rather than letting them take us all down, I’d rather burn it myself."

In Lu Xining’s mind, the image of Ji Muye flickered.

Lately, he had been elusive.

According to her sons, Ji Muye hasn’t returned to Jingzhou for a long time, always claiming to be on business trips.

Lu Xining glanced at him and politely said, "Rest well."

As she left the single room and walked towards the elevator, just as she turned the corner and passed a hospital bed without any family accompanying, her hand hanging by her side was suddenly slipped something.

Lu Xining paused slightly, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the unfamiliar face on the bed. She took a slight sidestep and looked back. The position of this bed conveniently overlooked Cheng Cang’s hospital room; indeed, it was a perfect spot for surveillance.

She didn’t stay any longer and quickly left.

It wasn’t until she was back in the car that Lu Xining opened the thing in her palm.

A candy readily available in the market, wrapped in pink paper decorated with many rabbits on it.

Lu Xining: "..."

Was he telling her to switch to the candy given by his daughter?
