If this matter had happened in the past, it would not be dealt with seriously. Zhang Fu would at most go to jail for a year or two and then be reprimanded and reeducated. As long as Zhang Fu wrote a letter of repentance in the end, the matter would be closed.

However, Shen City’s economy was flourishing at the moment. The government attached great importance to the opening up of the economy and wanted to showcase Shen City as an example of how a city could prosper. At a time like this, the fact that Zhang Fu still dared to take bribes so openly meant that he did not respect the mayor at all!

The process of opening up the economy was a long and tedious one and could not be achieved in a short period of time. All the bad habits of the past must be completely eliminated at the source. There was a full investigation launched on Zhang Fu and all his past misdeeds were dug up. In the end, Zhang Fu was sentenced to jail for 13 years.

When Auntie Sun heard about this matter, she was so worked up that she had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and passed away.

The mayor of Shen City made arrangements for a new director to take office very quickly. In less than two days, Xiang Chen’s application to buy the plot of land was approved. Qiao Mei and the others immediately dived into the intensive construction and renovation phase.

When Qiao Mei first arrived in Shen City, she had already sent the base plan of the plot of land back to Deng Fan in the capital. Deng Fan had worked overtime to come up with the blueprint for the new factory. The blueprint was simple and clear and could be handed over to a trustworthy construction team in Shen City.

When all these things were done, Qiao Mei led the team to move the machines into the factory. She made a call to Gao Ming and asked him to help her find an engineer from Country M who was familiar with the machinery. She wanted the engineer to take a flight to Shen City immediately and it did not matter how much it would cost.

Qiao Mei only remembered how to remove the components from the machines, but it was beyond her abilities to put them back. Moreover, these machines were all her “golden geese” which could make a lot of money for her. If she damaged them unwittingly, the losses would be too great to bear.

After teaching Wu Duo and the others how to use the machines, it was time for Qiao Mei to return to the capital. However, before that, she had to go to Hu City to take a look at the renovation progress of the Gao family’s ancestral home, as well as to check on the acquisition progress along the street which Gao Lin had told her about.

When the economy was not doing well earlier, many shops along the street had closed down. It was an easy task to buy them back now and there was no need for much capital at all. Qiao Mei returned to the hotel where Gao Lin was staying.

“Do you still remember me? I stayed here a while ago. My granduncle is still staying in the VIP room here. Can you arrange for my room to be next to his?” Qiao Mei went to the front desk and asked the staff.

“Yes, Miss. I’ve already arranged it for you. Do you need our help with the luggage?” the staff at the front desk asked.

“It’s fine, I can handle it myself.” After saying that, Qiao Mei took her luggage and went to the VIP zone on the fourth floor.

She had rushed back from Shen City on the afternoon train and it was already late at night now. If she went to look for Gao Lin now, they could not chat for too long anyway. She might as well wake up earlier tomorrow morning to give him a surprise!

“Luo Yu, please help me check how many shops my granduncle has bought back by now. I want to see all the details and I also want to know who’s been making the news in Hu City recently,” Qiao Mei said.

“Alright, I’ll do it right away,” Luo Yu said.

Early the next morning, Qiao Mei went to Gao Lin’s room door. She knocked happily and shouted, “Granduncle! I’m back!”

There was no response, so Qiao Mei tried knocking on the door again. It remained quiet inside the room. Qiao Mei immediately ran downstairs and grabbed the staff at the front desk, asking, “Have you seen the guest from room V402?”

“The guest in room V402 hasn’t returned since the day before yesterday, but he didn’t say anything about checking out. He has already paid for one month’s stay, so we didn’t ask,” the front desk staff said.

Qiao Mei instantly realized that something had happened to Gao Lin. She immediately called Yao Nian and asked him to use his connections to check on Gao Lin’s schedule for the past week and find out who he had met. She told him to get her all the details, regardless of how minute the detail might be. Qiao Mei also told Luo Yu to go out and try to find Gao Lin.

Gao Lin had only just returned from overseas and there were only a handful of people he knew in this country. Who would want to threaten Gao Lin’s life? Could it be an enemy of the Gao family from the past? However, she had never heard Gao Lin mention this before.

Qiao Mei returned to her room and waited patiently for the news. Two hours later, there was a sudden knock on her door. Qiao Mei thought that Luo Yu had returned, but when she opened the door, she saw six or seven burly men blocking the door.
