Contacting Jiang Xutong
Chapter 470 Contacting Jiang Xutong
"The city of Changshi won't allow construction, so why are they calling you?" Su Miaoyi was a little confused. "Is the road construction halted? Why did they contact you? Or do they need some money to resolve this?"
"They say it's very difficult to move forward," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "They won't accept money from the villagers, no matter how much they offer. They just won't allow us to go into the mountains or touch the mountains there. Actually, this matter has been going on for a few days now, and it was at its worst last night. Nobody slept all night. They told me this so I could be mentally prepared that the road might not be built."
Su Miaoyi thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you can tell from the reverence for the sheep god in Yanjing Village that they value these traditional customs and beliefs. If their beliefs and foundations are in that mountain, they cannot be touched, and if it is not some outdated or harmful custom, it should not be touched."
Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.
“How about taking a detour? We can build it from somewhere else,” Su Miaoyi said.
“That mountain is the most suitable, and after surveying, it is the safest,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “It is also the shortest route into the city, making it the best choice in every respect.”
“But the village also said they wouldn’t let us into the mountains,” Su Miaoyi said. “Someone has to compromise.”
"I'm just the one who provided the money. I have no say in Changshi, I can't understand blueprints, and I don't know how to build roads. It's pointless to talk to me about it," Zhuang Yanzheng said.
“After all, your money is there. With so much money, various progress updates, and major issues, they will definitely explain everything to you in detail,” Su Miaoyi said. “That’s their responsibility.”
Zhuang Yanzheng sighed: "When you saw the scene of Zhao Yongliang being killed, did you see anything else?"
“No,” Su Miaoyi said. “I only saw the scene of him being killed, exactly the same as what I saw in Changshi.”
"Is Zhao Yongliang's case still not over?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.
“The person who killed him was Tian Min. The murderer has been caught, and the case in Yanjing Village has been solved.” Su Miaoyi thought for a moment and said, “Could it be that Chang Kong and Fan Ning have something to do with Zhao Yongliang? But why is the image we saw Tian Min?”
"Have you seen all the details in the picture clearly?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked. "Did you miss anything? The more identical the pictures seem, the easier it is to overlook the details."
Su Miaoyi recalled the scene, going through every corner of what she had seen.
Zhao Yongliang was murdered by Tian Min in the fields on the mountain in Yanjing Village.
The surrounding area consisted of corn, mountains, land, and grass; there was nothing else, and nothing particularly noteworthy.
Su Miaoyi shook her head: "No."
Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Why don't we have Lu Zhishen draw them all?"
"Draw animated GIFs?" Su Miaoyi looked at him. "That would require drawing so many frames at a time."
Zhuang Yanzheng paused for a moment and then said, "I think he can do it."
“I also think he can do it,” Su Miaoyi said.
The two of them managed to create an enormous workload for Lu Zhishen in just a few words.
"I wonder how the portrait of Jiang Nankun is coming along."
"Let's call Shen Yanzhou first," Zhuang Yanzheng said.
Su Miaoyi called Shen Yanzhou: "Brother..."
"I'm at the entrance of the Municipal Public Security Bureau," Shen Yanzhou sighed. "An officer named Qi just went up to call you."
"Huh?" Su Miaoyi was taken aback. "What are you doing here?"
Zhuang Yanzheng glanced at her, then looked towards the door.
“I’m going to sue you for abusing me,” Shen Yanzhou said. “For mentally abusing me.”
"Then you've come to the wrong place." Su Miaoyi walked out. "You can't sue me here."
Zhuang Yanzheng went to call the people in the technical department.
I met Shen Yanzhou in the reception room.
"Why did you come here?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked. "Is the portrait finished? Did you bring it to us?"
"You're dreaming! You're always thinking about things that don't matter. What kind of portrait do you think I, the young master, need to deliver personally? What era are we living in?" Shen Yanzhou said. "I can't draw it. Lu Zhishen's final conclusion was: I really forgot what Jiang Nankun looks like. I was devastated, and he wasn't much better off. He said to let me relax first, maybe I'll remember something."
"And then you came here?" Su Miaoyi asked.
"Yes," Shen Yanzhou said. "I did some quick calculations and felt that you might need my help, so I came over." Su Miaoyi held out her hand to him: "My phone."
Shen Yanzhou gave her: "It's still the same password as before."
Su Miaoyi unlocked the phone, found the blocked call log, and located Jiang Xutong's reachable number: "Call her."
Shen Yanzhou took the phone: "Is there anything you need to ask?"
"Where is she?" Su Miaoyi asked.
"Okay." Shen Yanzhou made the call.
After a while, just as the phone was about to hang up automatically, Jiang Xutong finally answered and said directly, "Shen Yanzhou, it's me."
Shen Yanzhou glanced at Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng, and said, "Who are you? Don't you have a name?"
“How could you not recognize my voice?” Jiang Xutong said.
"I really can't tell who you are," Shen Yanzhou said.
“If you really didn’t know who I was, you wouldn’t have spoken to me like that,” Jiang Xutong said. “Young Master Shen is so well-mannered, a true gentleman, and very polite to everyone.”
"Thank you for the compliment," Shen Yanzhou said. "What bad luck! If I had known it was your number, why would I have called back? I should have just left this number stuck in the call blocking list."
"So it was an unknown number that was blocked," Jiang Xutong said with a smile.
"Why are you calling me for no reason? What's wrong? Did the investors for the film run away? Are you looking to raise more investment? How come your Jiang family is so stingy that you can't even come up with this little bit of money?" Shen Yanzhou said.
“That’s still much better than your Shen family,” Jiang Xutong said.
"Has the Jiang family become so trashy that all they can do is talk tough? I'm waiting for the day the Jiang family disappears from this world." Shen Yanzhou hung up the phone after saying that.
Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng watched his actions.
Both of them were looking at him.
Are you going to hang up right after the argument? Didn't you say you wanted to know where I am?
The people in the technical department were stunned for a moment.
Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Xutong called.
Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng exchanged a glance.
They really know their stuff.
The phone rang until the other party hung up, but Shen Yanzhou didn't answer.
Then Jiang Xutong played the second one.
Su Miaoyi looked at the number on Shen Yanzhou's phone and said, "This level of understanding doesn't seem like they've only been talking for a month."
"We only talked for a month, but we've known each other for a long time," Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"You two shut up." Shen Yanzhou's voice was calm, but his aura was intimidating.
Su Miaoyi pursed her lips, and Zhuang Yanzheng remained silent.
Shen Yanzhou answered the phone: "What are you trying to do, you never seem to stop?"
"Hang up on me!" Jiang Xutong shouted.
"What's wrong with me hanging up on you?" Shen Yanzhou said.
“I won’t allow it!” Jiang Xutong said.
Shen Yanzhou chuckled and said, "I'll contact a hospital for you. Go and have a look."
