Su Shen was driving, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s, instantly dismissing Jin Long’s speculation. “We’re not dealing with Chen Village this time,” he declared. “Indeed, they’ve been causing minor disturbances since our negotiations for cooperation fell through, hoping to pressure us into considering opening a branch factory there. But this incident, I assure you, is not their doing.”

Jin Long knew that Su Shen was not one to make rash judgments. If he made a decision, it was always backed by solid reasoning.

Curiosity piqued, Jin Long wondered why Su Shen was so certain that the old foxes of Chen Village were not behind this. “Explain your reasoning to me,” he requested. “Otherwise, I’ll find it hard to convince myself to reach out to them.” By ‘them’, he was referring to his family.

Su Shen was aware of Jin Long’s family situation. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t ask Jin Long to leverage his family’s resources.

Su Shen had other resources at his disposal, but he felt that, after all, it was Jin Long’s family. This incident could serve as an opportunity for Jin Long to establish some connections there.

With a solemn expression, Su Shen explained, “It’s simple. First, they don’t have the audacity. What they’re doing is illegal and severe. Second, they’re not that foolish. They wouldn’t sabotage us and cut off their own village’s power supply. This isn’t a minor prank; it would infuriate us. They wouldn’t overlook this.”

Jin Long voiced his doubts, “Could it be possible that they’re desperate enough to implicate themselves, hoping we wouldn’t suspect them? A cornered dog will jump over a wall, right?”

Su Shen continued, “They might be cornered, but not to this extent. Don’t forget, the three villages were initially one entity. Many resources have always been shared, with a single village head managing all three. In this sense, Chen Village and us are part of the same community.”

Su Shen’s explanation was so clear that Jin Long finally understood. Indeed, they wouldn’t dare to cause such extensive damage, the consequences of which they couldn’t bear. Moreover, their sabotage was always aimed at pressuring Su Shen into cooperation.

Therefore, Chen Village’s ultimate goal was to profit from the pig farm. They might cause minor disturbances to annoy the pig farm, but they wouldn’t do anything that could cause significant damage. It wouldn’t benefit them, and a power outage affecting all three villages would disrupt their lives too. The folks of Chen Village weren’t that stupid.

Having understood this, Jin Long knew what he had to do.

The Rich Pig Farm and the Daqing Pig Farm were established around the same time. Both farms had similar geographical locations and development models. However, the Rich Pig Farm was in a different county, and its primary target market was the city of Guangcheng.

Now, Su Shen’s Daqing Pig Farm had become the leading pork supplier in Guangcheng, while the Rich Pig Farm was facing a significant crisis. Compared to the people of Chen Village, it was more reasonable to say that they were the cornered dogs. Moreover, they, as fellow pig farmers, would understand the impact of a power outage better. This move was indeed despicable, vile, and sinister.

Given the urgency of the situation, Jin Long decided to return home and use his family’s resources to handle this matter. It was the most efficient way. He rested his arm behind his head, leaning lazily against the car seat, and said to Su Shen, “Leave this matter to me.”

The next morning, Gu Zi woke up and stretched lazily before getting out of bed. She had slept well that night, especially after having a dream in which Su Shen had returned, slipped under the covers next to her, and held her in his arms as they fell asleep together.

After that dream, her sleep was even more peaceful, and she slept soundly through the night.

She got ready to go downstairs, feeling a bit cold. She grabbed a leather jacket from the coat rack, which warmed her up considerably. The jacket was large, covering her thighs when she wore it. It had a faint, cool scent that was quite pleasant. It was Su Shen’s jacket, and it fit her quite well. Now her legs weren’t cold anymore.

Just as she was about to leave her room, she remembered that she had left her watch on the bedside table. She wanted to wear it that day, so she went back to get it.

She found a flashlight next to her pillow. It was Su Shen’s; she recognized it. He had come back last night. “But why did he leave the flashlight here? Did he forget to take it?”

Gu Zi dismissed this guess in her mind. Su Shen was not a forgetful person; he wouldn’t have forgotten to take it. The way it was left seemed more like he had intentionally left it for her to use. But why?

As she was pondering this, she heard a commotion outside her window. She ran to the window and saw a group of people making a racket outside their house. She had no idea what was going on.
