Ding ding ding!
After leaving the construction site, Cheng Xiaofan was on his way home when his phone rang again.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Dao Dahai from the police station calling him. He wondered if this guy needed his help with some case.
Cheng Xiaofan was about to hang up decisively, but then he thought that he was a polite person. Would it be too rude to treat someone like this?
Finally, politeness triumphed over rudeness, and he pressed the answer button.
"Captain Dao, do you need anything from me?" Cheng Xiaofan asked, frowning.
He thought that he was frowning on his end of the phone, and the other person couldn't see it. Why should he make himself uncomfortable? He then relaxed his furrowed brow.
On the other end of the phone, Dao Dahai's voice quickly came through: "Xiaofan, I just received a call from above. They said that a new person named Lu Shengming has been transferred to the Southern Jianghu Affairs Bureau and will be meeting you tomorrow!"
Jianghu Affairs Bureau, Lu Shengming?
Why did this person's name sound so familiar?
"Why does he want to see me?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Dao Dahai pondered for a moment and said, "They didn't tell me. I only know that the Jianghu Affairs Bureau is a mysterious department. People like me are not qualified to inquire about it, except to cooperate!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Captain Dao, I'm going to Hai City tomorrow at a friend's invitation. As for this Lu Shengming, if he really wants to see me, he'll have to wait a few days!"
"Ah, Xiaofan, wouldn't that be bad? I heard that this Mr. Lu has a very influential background," Dao Dahai said hesitantly.
Cheng Xiaofan frowned again and said, "No matter how influential this Mr. Lu is, what does it have to do with me, a small farmer from a village?"
"..."
Instantly, Dao Dahai was silenced by Cheng Xiaofan's words.
The words were rough, but the reasoning was sound. What Cheng Xiaofan said seemed to be perfectly fine!
However, just as Dao Dahai wanted to say a few more words to Cheng Xiaofan, he found that the other party had already hung up the phone.
He couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile and sigh inwardly.
He thought to himself, "Xiaofan, I know your abilities are heaven-defying. Perhaps it's because you've had too much good luck that you've never experienced the harshness of the world, and you don't know how deep some waters are!"
As Cheng Xiaofan was heading home, a flash suddenly occurred in his mind, and he abruptly remembered who this Lu Shengming was.
He had heard Long Xiaotian mention that Lu Shengming was the director of the Northern Branch of the China Jianghu Affairs Bureau, and he was specifically responsible for handling matters of martial arts grudges.
For example, if there were any disputes between those reclusive prominent families, they would be handled by the Jianghu Affairs Bureau.
The Jianghu Affairs Bureau was an official organization specifically established to regulate the behavior of various martial arts sects.
Cheng Xiaofan was very curious. Didn't this Lu Shengming work in Xuecheng in the north? Why was he transferred to the south?
At this moment, he immediately dialed Long Xiaotian's number.
"Master, you're calling!"
Soon, Long Xiaotian's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
Cheng Xiaofan asked directly, "Long Xiaotian, do you know if Lu Shengming from the Northern Jianghu Affairs Bureau has been transferred to the south?"
"Ah, Lu Shengming has been transferred to the south?"
Long Xiaotian said hurriedly, "Master, I've been busy reorganizing the affairs of the Northern reclusive prominent families during this period, so I haven't had any contact with Lu Shengming."
"As for whether he has been transferred to the south, I have no idea."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan frowned and said, "Compile a report on Lu Shengming for me, and at the same time, investigate what mission he has been assigned in the south."
"Once the information is compiled, just upload it directly to my phone!"
Long Xiaotian said eagerly, "Master, I have always had informants within the Jianghu Affairs Bureau. I will quickly compile the relevant information myself and send it to your phone."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Long Xiaotian, I know your capabilities. I trust you with this matter!"
Receiving praise from Cheng Xiaofan, Long Xiaotian was overwhelmed and quickly said, "Master, while I was reorganizing the Northern reclusive prominent families recently, I obtained three hundred-year-old ginseng roots, all of excellent quality."
"If Master likes them, I'll have Xingyun send them over!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "It's rare for you to have such sincerity. Forget it, keep this five-hundred-year-old ginseng for yourself."
"The several thousand-year-old ginseng roots you gave me have already had their vitality restored, and I've replanted them. When the time comes, I'll be able to harvest over two hundred ginseng roots, and their quality will be no less than that of thousand-year-old ginseng!"
"..." Long Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, unable to speak.
In this world, there was actually someone who could restore thousand-year-old ginseng and then propagate it to grow more thousand-year-old ginseng.
Wasn't this like telling a fairy tale?
Of course, he also knew that his Master would not tell fairy tales in front of his disciples.
"Master..."
Long Xiaotian originally wanted to flatter him but then realized that Cheng Xiaofan had already hung up.
He couldn't help but feel immense emotion. It was truly an honor to have such a master for himself and his grandson, Long Xingyun!
It was already noon when Cheng Xiaofan returned home.
Miao Xiuhua noticed that he had returned alone and asked, "Xiaofan, why didn't Yiling come back with you? Where did she go?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Yiling went to the construction site. She asked me to tell you that she's eating lunch with the workers at the site."
Miao Xiuhua quickly asked, "Didn't she say that everything at the construction site was arranged and handed over to her cousin? Why did she go to the site again?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "When I was at Bai Mang Lake, I received a call from Hai City. The World Famous Wine Auction is about to begin, and Yiling and I will be leaving tomorrow."
"We'll be away for a few days this time. She's worried about the construction site. She's going today to see if there's anything that needs to be handled promptly!"
Upon hearing that Bai Yiling and her son would be going on a trip tomorrow, Miao Xiuhua's eyes lit up, and she said, "Xiaofan, since you and Yiling are going out alone for a few days, you must seize this opportunity. Those people in the village always ask me when they can eat your and Yiling's wedding candy!"
"Mom, you're at it again. There's no rush for this matter!" Cheng Xiaofan hated it the most when Miao Xiuhua brought this up.
Miao Xiuhua immediately put on a stern face and said, "What do you mean no rush? You and Yiling are not young anymore. How long are you going to drag this out?"
"Oh, Mom, stop nagging. My stomach is rebelling,"
Seeing Cheng Fugui coming out of the kitchen, Cheng Xiaofan immediately put his mother's topic far behind him. "I have a sensitive stomach and can't go hungry. Let's eat quickly!"
Miao Xiuhua was quite annoyed by him, but she couldn't say anything more.
Hmph!
Boy, you can refine energy water, so what stomach problem can't be treated?
Do you think your mother is that easy to fool?
After eating, Cheng Xiaofan hurried back to the back mountain.
As soon as he sat down in the attic, his phone chimed with a notification. He opened it and saw that Long Xiaotian had already sent over the information.
Wasn't that speed too fast?
