The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 491: At the Ancestral Grave

Fu Yunhe changed into a set of clothes and started cooking.

Nian Shutong arranged for Dou Dou to sit and play on the side while she also joined in to help.

Aside from noodles, her other culinary skills were still decent.

The two of them, Fu Yunhe kneaded the dough using their own flour, which was just enough to make a meal of noodles with sauce or soup.

Nian Shutong then began to handle the seafood.

Crabs, big shrimp, lobsters, all sorts of fish—it was as if they were free.

She planned to make a big seafood medley. They had brought sauces prepared by Master Fan, so all she needed to do was prepare the ingredients, throw them all into the pot, pour in the seasoning, and everything would be ready with one pot.

This was specially prepared by Master Fan for the two of them, and the portion was not small. The old man thought, seafood was the easiest, the key was a good taste, and it was convenient for two people to eat.

However, this meal consumed all of Nian Shutong’s seasonings and was just barely enough for everyone to have a meal.

In the kitchen, the Legion’s chefs didn’t recognize the two, but since Commander Xiong Da had brought them in, they were deemed trustworthy.

In the Legion, trust was that simple.

You’re a comrade-in-arms, then you’re a brother.

Several chefs started helping out as well, continuously bustling about.

Nian Shutong also took out all the prepared vegetables, and what they would eat later, would be figured out then.

Since it was a thanksgiving, it had to be genuine.

The kitchen was busy and very lively, but the people at the mine were ashen-faced.

At the mine, after much guessing and suspicion, everyone finally realized something was wrong—did the scholar really spit up blood for real? It wasn’t a trick.

When everyone stopped suspecting the scholar, he was overjoyed to the point of tears.

It was fucking hard! From now on, he wanted to be a good person.

However, it was uncertain whether there would be a future for him.

Having botched this task, buying a worthless mine at great cost, one could imagine the treatment he would receive upon returning to the Chi Family.

Thinking of this, the scholar suddenly lost a lot of his gloom and hatred—not that he didn’t hate, but he had more important things to worry about.

He started worrying about his future path and began making arrangements.

Meanwhile, everyone finally discovered that there were no Crystal Stones in the mine.

There truly wasn’t a single one, the only Crystal Stone anyone had seen was the one Nian Shutong had pried out at the mine’s entrance.

Several people, upon realizing this, rushed to the entrance and started frantically scratching and digging.

"Where are the Crystal Stones? Where are the Crystal Stones?"

"How can there be none! Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible! The aura of the Crystal Stones was so strong!"

"There must be some, there must be! Crystal Stones cannot be faked!"

Several people were already frantic.

A group of people, unbelievably crazy, some bursting with anger so intense it was almost like tearing their livers, mirroring the earlier scene with the scholar.

"It’s that woman!"

"Quick, stop her!"

Finally, someone directed the blame towards Nian Shutong and rushed out to find her. But when those who had rushed out returned, they were completely drained of spirit.

"How did it go? Did you find her?"

The one asked, directed his anger towards the one asking.

"Did I find her? Do I look like I found her?"

"Fuck! My money—"

The man suddenly roared, but then abruptly stopped.

That’s not right? He hadn’t paid yet. Fearing mishaps, it was the Chi Family who had put up the money, and later on, people like him were to pay more, just to get a part of the deal from the Chi Family.

"But the most critical point was that he hadn’t paid yet."

Although the man felt reluctant, he was much better off than he had initially thought, losing his wealth and the Crystal Stones.

The man suddenly stepped forward, approached the scholar, and said, "We haven’t signed a contract, and I no longer want a part in this deal. Goodbye."

The man had quite a resolve, leaving decisively, unstoppable by anyone.

The man’s word had given the scholar an immediate bad premonition, and in less than a second, that premonition came true.

"Sorry, the cash flow in my family is a bit abnormal right now, let’s call off the transaction."

"My wife is giving birth, and I need to rush home."

"There’s an emergency at home. Let’s forget about the deal."

"My elderly father is likely not going to make it, I need to go home. Let’s cancel the business."

Everyone had bizarre excuses, from childbirth to predicting the death of elderly patriarchs.

"Is your home run by King Yan?"

The scholar was full of complaints, yet he couldn’t utter a single word.

He thought about his own situation, and more blood spurted out of his mouth!

Heaven wants to ruin me!

Such a significant event was naturally relayed back to the Chi Family immediately.

The Chi Family Patriarch, Chi Zhong, who had seen much of the world, promptly tracked the person through the account used.

Chi Zhong couldn’t believe it, the Chi Family couldn’t be scammed by a swindler!

Indeed, the Chi Family had already branded Nian Shutong as a swindler now, a blind female swindler.

How dare she deceive the Chi Family! She was courting death.

As Chi Zhong, the Chi Family Head, confidently awaited news, a subordinate entered.

"Where is the person?"

Chi Zhong asked confidently, but he didn’t get a positive response.

The subordinate, trying not to conceal anything yet speaking with shaking confidence, said, "The person... is at the Chi Family’s... ancestral graveyard."

"The Chi Family’s ancestral graveyard."

"What a joke!" Chi Zhong slammed the table fiercely; his gaze was icy—foolish people who would say anything.

The scolded subordinate didn’t talk back but rather stepped forward, unfolding his Light Computer.

"Family Head, tracing the account that received the money, we found their current location, near the Chi Family’s ancestral graveyard."

"Please look for yourself."

The subordinate’s words made Chi Zhong frown. He looked at the Light Computer; indeed, the location was the Chi Family’s ancestral graveyard.

How could this be possible?

But the subordinate in front of him was the most capable in the Chi Family, always able to bring the most needed information to Chi Zhong.

Wait, there was one exception, though—Little River Live.

But since when did anyone opposing the Chi Family possess the strength of Little River Live?

Chi Zhong, staring at the Light Computer, fell deep into thought.

Finally, Chi Zhong stood up and told his subordinates, "Let’s go; I want to see if this person really is at our Chi Family’s site or somewhere else."

Chi Zhong led the way, and a large group followed him, marching mightily towards the Chi Family’s ancestral graveyard.

Meanwhile, news of the Chi Family being deceived spread.

Families that didn’t suffer any losses seemed to revel in the Chi Family’s misfortune.

Some felt that the Chi Family was just unlucky lately, first with the Little River Live and now with the Crystal Stone Mine—a trillion Crystal Stone Mine, no less!

Some people fully saw this as an opportunity; the Chi Family had a financial gap now.

While everyone reacted in their own way, Chi Zhong had already arrived at the Chi Family’s ancestral graveyard.

The moment they stepped into the graveyard, every person’s Light Computer received a message—all at the same time, with the same content.
