Chapter 104: The Businessmen from a Faraway Land (1)Seeing carts of money and treasures returned, Linghe felt complicated. It was already bad enough that Lei Min that bastard had fled, but what was worse was that he had left with all the riches that Lei Xu had accumulated for many years. As a result, Ji Fengyan did not get any of them and this made Linghe gloomy.
“If I had known, I would have searched high and low in the City Lord’s residence that day,” Linghe had been harping on this for the past few days and was now muttering incessantly in front of Ji Fengyan.
At the same time, Ji Fengyan was looking at the injuries on Liu Huo’s back. When she took a glance at Linghe, she casually shrugged her shoulders and said, “a person of noble character will only take things that were obtained from legitimate means. Even if the money from Lei Xu was given to me, I would also find it dirty.”
“But Miss, the money in your hands will eventually be used up,” Linghe mumbled softly.
Ji Fengyan waved her hands. She understood Linghe’s worries. She had rejected the gifts from various family heads in Ji City, and had also missed the opportunity to claim all the assets from Lei Xu’s family, so it was normal that Linghe had such a worry.

“Brother Ling, you don’t have to worry about this. You just need to know that we are not short of money.”
Linghe responded in a perfunctory manner but the worries that he had did not fade away.
Liu Huo pulled down his clothes. He looked at Linghe’s dejected look. and then at Ji Fengyan, who was smiling with Bai Ze in her arms.
“Little Liu Huo, the injuries on your body are almost recovered,” Ji Fengyan said.
Liu Huo instinctively raised his hand towards his back. The badly mutilated wound has already been replaced with new flesh.
Just when Liu Huo was about to say something, Zuo Nuo suddenly ran in with an overjoyed face.
“Miss, Chief, good news!”
“You have found Lei Min?” Linghe said instinctively.
Zuo Nuo was slightly stunned, but he shook his head.
Ji Fengyan was at a loss. “Brother Ling, you don’t have to care about Lei Min anymore.”
“How could I not be bothered? Leaving that fellow will definitely sow danger for us,” Linghe said with his brows frowning.

After Lei Xu died, Lei Min naturally had to butter up with her to get her support. I believe he had escaped to the eldest princess.”
“This is what I am worried about. If Lei Min and Su Lingsheng wag their tongues before the eldest princess, and the eldest princess confronts Miss, wouldn’t it be…”
Ji Fengyan waved her hands so that Linghe would not be overly anxious.
Liu Huo had been sitting quietly at the side, but the contents in Ji Fengyan and Linghe’s conversation had all entered his ears. With his eyes drooping, it was uncertain what he was thinking about.
“Forget it, Zuo Nuo, what is the good news you were talking about?” Linghe sighed and then asked Zuo Nuo.
Zuo Nuo quickly responded, “There is a group of businessmen arrived at Ji City. They have just entered the city gates and many common people had brought their ores there. It was really lively there!”
“What group of businessmen?” Linghe said with a frown.
Zuo Nuo said, “I also just heard about it. That group of businessmen would occasionally come to Ji City and each time, they would buy large quantities of ores and the price they gave was quite high. The reason why the common people of Ji City were so obsessed with stone betting was also due to this group of businessmen. Wasn’t there still a pile of ores in our residence? I think that we should make use of this opportunity to sell them,” as he said, Zuo Nuo became even more excited.
Linghe’s eyes were also glowing. It was such a right moment; he had just been worried about where to get money!
