Chapter: 6135

Fee Xin replied, "Approximately 10 billion Northern Federation dollars, with 3 billion already invested."

Leaf said, "Alright, I'll cover the remaining 7 billion. You just deal with the contract issues first and say that there's a dispute over land acquisition procedures. We need to temporarily suspend the project and have our legal team handle it before we can continue construction. Then you can put the project on hold for now, let Xu Churan go back to Ling City, and wait until the time is right to reactivate it. I'll ask her to help me complete this project again when the time is right, and she will politely decline."

To Leaf, doing things oneself is a matter of taking a shot and seeing how far you can go. Giving a helping hand to friends by suddenly tackling an important project is natural. However, once issues arise, you have to take a step back, which can drain your energy. Moreover, I can ask Fee Xin to put the project on hold for a while, allowing Xu Churan to focus on her own matters later.

Furthermore, Fee Xin initially asked Xu Churan to help with the project under the pretext of "urgency." Once the project is suspended, she will have sufficient reason to take her time and tidy up. By then, whether or not Xu Churan helps won't be that important.

Fee Xin heard Leaf's plan and immediately said, "Mr. Leaf, you're being too gracious. This amount of money isn't significant to our family. I'll find a reasonable excuse to put the project on hold indefinitely. Whenever you need Xu Churan to come back to Northern Federation, I'll reactivate it."

Leaf was taken aback by Fee Xin's response and hesitated for a moment before thinking carefully about this option.

Therefore, he opened his mouth and said: "Then I'll trouble Miss Fee to handle it."

Miss Fee smiled and said: "Mr. Leaf, don't worry about the task, you can rest assured!"

...at that moment, in Fenghuang Temple.

At the northern foot of Fenghuang Mountain, on the north side of the valley, there is a very quiet mountain villa.

This villa belongs to Fenghuang Temple, but it has been closed to outsiders for a long time. Even if it's an inner monk of Fenghuang Temple, they are not allowed to visit without reason.

Now, at dawn, there are not many bright lights in the mountains, and the whole valley is enveloped in mist, with various bird calls echoing through the valley, making it even more peaceful.

In the villa, a middle-aged noblewoman who cannot be underestimated was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, lightly spinning her Buddhist beads.

This noblewoman was none other than Leaf's mother, An Chengqi.

At that moment, an elderly woman with extremely short hair emerged from the brick-tiled house. She was An Chengqi's subordinate and sister-in-law, Sun Jie.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Sun Jie stood in front of An Chengqi, respectfully saying, "Ma'am, I just received a message. The young master has returned home."

"Oh?" An Chengqi opened her eyes, expressing surprise and saying, "The Four-sided Treasure just returned to Jinchen, and the child is now returning as well. I suppose Peter was also rescued by him, after all."

Sun Jie opened his mouth to say, "Feedback from the airport is that only the young master boarded the plane, without anyone seeing that Zhou Peter."

An Chengqi laughed and said, "The child must have arranged it in advance. Queen Helena of North Europe is visiting Carna ahead of schedule, which might be due to the child's actions. It's likely that Peter will leave North Alliance with her."

After a moment, An Chengqi asked again, "What about Chen Ziming? Is there any news?"

"No," Sun Jie shook his head. "He's still missing right now."

An Chengqi nodded and said with a smile, "Well, I suppose he's already dead. That big fire might have been used to cover up the truth by the child."

After a moment, An Chengqi asked her again, "Where is the young master flying this time? To Ling City or Jinchen?"

Sun Jie replied respectfully, "Ma'am, the young master is flying straight to Jinchen." JrNovels.com
