Imperial commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten - 2

1001-1010

Mu Jungkook turned to look at Yun Lisa, who was beside him. He frowned and said, "We will take care of the rest. Stay here tonight and don't go home today. The butler will take you back to school tomorrow morning."

Yun Lisa raised her head to look at him and shook her head resolutely. "I can't go back yet. Feng Yang was implicated because of me. I can't sleep soundly until his safety is confirmed."

He was the only child of the Feng family. If anything happened to him, how could she ever face Old Chief Feng?

Moreover, listening to Mu Jungkook's tone, she could tell that they did not have the upper hand and things were not looking positive.

Evidently, he did not want her to get involved.

Very soon, the people Mu Jungkook had dispatched to survey the situation had news for them.

Xingi Town used to be a crucial military site in the past, and several battles had taken place there. Later, local people had discovered ore in the mountains.

Therefore, excavation and mining operations began in that area.

Decades had passed, and the mineral resources had gradually dwindled away, resulting in the original miners leaving the mines to live in the small town.

Later, the government developed the tourism industry locally, and more and more people came as tourists to the small town. Few people bothered to venture into the abandoned mining areas that were still up in the mountains.

In addition, after several landslides, the mining area became more deserted, and almost no one went there.

In recent months, a group of people had gone up into the mountains. They claimed that they were conducting geological surveys in response to the government's request to plant more trees. They'd brought a group of experts to the mountains to inspect the foliage.

This group of people lived up in the mountains and seldom went down to the town. No one knew what they were doing, and they did not even know their exact location.

However, new faces were entering the town frequently. They went up to the mountains after their arrival, but no one saw them again.

This was the only piece of news that was sent back, but Mu Jungkook had figured out the general gist of the situation.

The group of people who claimed to be geologists obviously had an ulterior motive that they were carrying out in the mountains. Mu Jungkook's people would have to conduct some investigations in order to find out what was really going on.

"Grey Wolf, check if there are any recruitment listings of late. The location would be in this small town. Keep an eye out especially for the recruitment of outsiders."

"Yes, sir!" Grey Wolf quickly tapped on his keyboard after responding. He swiftly retrieved several sets of job advertisements from the database.

"These job advertisements are recruiting workers who are from outside of the town. They only recruit people from outside the town who live in the villages and towns nearby. The jobs they are recruiting for are for miners and long-distance truck drivers. I guess they are recruiting for these positions to increase their credibility. After all, this place was originally a mining site. They are not targeting the people in the town because if they didn't return, someone would alert the police to go up the mountain to search. They are very cautious about their operations."

"It seems that their plan has been laid out very carefully. Since they are so cautious, it must not be any simple tree-planting activity."

Furrowing his brows, Mu Jungkook studied the topographic map on Yun Lisa's laptop and rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
