Lu Siya pursed her lips. "Isn't he your friend? How would I know? But what is it, is he short of cash lately?"
Meng Chao was a little surprised by the question. "Why did you say that?"
"Half a month ago, he came to me and asked to get all the money he would get from the mining rights of the Red Radiance Jade mine," Lu Siya said. "You know just how many crystals there were in the Red Radiance Jade mine under Raging Waves. Even if the quality of the crystals had dropped considerably after the explosion, we could still mine them for decades.
"I had no intention to break my promise and I didn't take even a penny of what Qin Hu should get. If he received the dividend every year, it'd be enough for his entire family to live comfortably for a few generations.
"But he wanted to sell me the mining rights that would last him decades. Of course, he offered a very low price."
