While the village chief was away, Huang Enhaodang and Heavenly Immortal purposely did not follow him but instead turned back to ask Qian Lao about the mountain ghost.
Upon hearing their inquiry, Qian Lao's expression faltered before growing slightly panicky.
"Why are you asking about this? Didn't the village chief say there would be no issue?"
"Your son has gone missing, and so has the leader of our company. Do you think our chairman will let this matter rest without an explanation?" Huang Enhaodang said gravely.
This made Qian Lao realize something. Indeed, when someone's nephew comes to invest, and then they disappear, wouldn't he himself also not let it rest?
"This..." Hearing this, Qian Lao became even more conflicted.
"The village chief might be an official, but you don't have that kind of protection," Heavenly Immortal drunkenly added.
