n“If the matter of the Little Cattle King has been exposed, then the person

ndoesn’t only want the Little Cattle King, but also the entire Taoyuan Village,”

nXiao Lingyu continued.

nThe village chief asked with some confusion, “Lingyu, what do you mean by

nthis”

nXiao Lingyu said, “It means we’ll be forced to move, and our land will be taken

naway in the name of tourism development.”

nIf Taoyuan Village didn’t have the Little Cattle King, this would be a good thing

nfor the villagers because they would be compensated. In fact, this had already

nhappened to a few other villages. The villagers were mostly very happy. The

nyounger generations who had no connection to the land hoped that the

ngovernment would take their land so that they could get compensation.

nHowever, the situation at Taoyuan Village was different. The Little Cattle

nKing’s manure could make the crops grow faster and taste more delicious.

nTheir land was definitely worth more than the compensation. Every clever

nvillager knew the inherent value.

nAlthough the Little Cattle King belonged to the Xiao Family, the whole village

ncould feel the benefits.

nWhen the village chief heard this, his eyes widened again. He found it

nunbelievable.

nXiao Lingyu continued, “if they really know the secret of the Little Cattle King,

nthen they will definitely think of ways to possess him.”

nThe village chief face turned pale. He stuttered in disbelief, “Lingyu, how…

nHow is this possible?”

nXiao Lingyu said, “Village chief, I can guarantee that this is very possible.”

nThe village chief was shocked for a long time. When he finally recovered, he

nasked, “Lingyu, what should we do now?”

nXiao Lingyu said, “village chief, inform everyone that the matter of the Little

nCattle King has been exposed to outsiders. So, tell everyone to pay attention to

nthe outsiders.”

n“Is there anything else? The village chief asked.

nXiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “village chief, let’s tell the villagers this

nnews first.

n“Since the government hasn’t said anything about tourism development, we

nshan’t reveal it lest it causes a stir in people’s hearts.

n“Now, we need to wait for news from the people who want to develop this place

ninto a tourist site. What is their plan for the villagers? And then, we’ll decide

nwhat to do.”

nIf moving was involved, the villagers might be able to receive a huge amount of

ncompensation. At that time, the villagers would definitely be very divided.

nThe village chief nodded. Then, he asked, “Then, should we tell everyone that it

nwas Xiao Chengcai who be sold out the secrets of the Little Cattle King?

nXiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Village chief, we don’t have a

nevidence, so we can’t say anything yet.

n“However, once you tell the villagers about the secret being exposed, the clever

npeople will immediately connect it to the truckload of cash that Xíao Xiaobao

nhad dug out from his house. The suspicion will occur naturally.”

nThe village chief nodded and said, “What you said makes sense. Okay, Il do it

nnow.”

nBut just as the village chief was about to leave, Xiao Lingyu reminded him

nagain, “Village chief, the most important thing now is to get everyone to pay

nattention to the movements of the outsiders. Also, please get people to block

nthe mountain roads that lead outside. of course, Tl pay all the materials and

nwages.”

nThe village chief nodded and said, “Okay, I understand. I will handle this”

nAfter saying that, the village chief turned around and left.

nThe village chief was very efficient. After leaving Xiao Lingyu’s house, he

nquickly announced this news through the broadcast system. Everyone heard

nthe news.

nThe entire village was shocked!

n“Oh my God, what’s going on? How did the matter of the Cattle King get

nexposed

n“Yeah, what’s going on? Didn’t the village chief tell everyone not to tell

noutsiders about this? We’re the ones being at a disadvantage if the Little Cattle

nKing is found out.”

nAlthough the Little Cattle King belonged to Xiao Lingyu personally, the

nmajority of the villagers in Taoyuan Village had benefited from it.

n“Yeah, what exactly is going on? How did it even get exposed.”

nFor now, no one thought about Xiao Chengcai.

n“No matter how it got exposed, the village chief told everyone to pay attention

nto the people coming from the outside.”

n“Of course!”

nAfter the village chief announced this news, he immediately called a few young

npeople to seal off the mountain roads leading to the outside village. It was too

ndangerous to leave these paths open.

nAs soon as these young people heard the order, they began to get busy. They

ncut trees, transported stone, and looked for cement. They went to town to buy

nmaterials. The paved road made transportation easier.

nWhen Mother Xiao and Father Xiao heard the news, they ran home.

nThey asked directly, “Yu Er, what’s going on? Our guesses were right?”

nXiao Lingyu would only let the village chief announce this news after she had

nevidence. Mother Xiao and Father Xiao became very nervous again.

nGong Tianhao took a look and immediately narrowed his eyes. This confirmed

none of his guesses. The Little Cattle King must have some sort of relationship

nwith Xiao Lingyu. If the Little Cattle King was captured, it would definitely

nimplicate Xiao Lingyu.

nHowever, this secret had to be huge because Mother Xiao, Father Xiao, and

nXiao Lingyu had not told him anything. Regardless, he would not force it out of

nthem. He would wait for them to take the initiative to tell him.

nHis immediate task was to protect Xiao Lingyu’s safety and the safety of

neveryone in the Xiao family.

nXiao Lingyu consoled her parents. “Mom and Dad, our guess is probably

ncorrect. But this means that we have more time to prepare. Don’t worry.

nNothing bad will happen.”

nAt this moment, Gong Tianhao stood up and said, “Uncle and Auntie, I will

nprotect everyone.”

nAfter hearing that, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao finally calmed down.

n“Yes, you’re right. “Mother Xiao nodded. Then, she thought for a while and

nsaid, “Yu ‘Er, why don’t we hide Little Light so that no one can find him.”

n“Hmm? Xiao Lingyu’s eyes flashed.

n“That’s right. Since she could bring her parents into the farming space, she

ncould bring Little Light and Big Light into there too. However, Little Light had

nalready been exposed. She couldn’t just make it disappear for no reason.

nXiao Lingyu was deep in thought.

nGong Tianhao had been paying attention to Xiao Lingyu’s actions.

nHe noticed that Xiao Lingyu’s eyes lit up when Mother Xiao suggested hiding

nLittle Light. But how could they hide something so big? Was there a secret

nbehind this?

n“No! Father Xiao said adamantly.

n“Dear” Mother Xiao looked at him in confusion.

nFather Xiao said, “since the secret has been exposed, those people will keep

ntheir eyes on Little Light. If Little Light suddenly disappears, they will turn

ntheir suspicion to us.

nThese people are not dumb. Why does Little Light disappear just around the

ntime they want to develop Taoyuan village? Plus, they have insider news from

nXiao Chengcai. So, the news of Little Light’s disappearance would get to them

nimmediately. We would be suspected and be in even more danger.”

nGong Tianhao concurred, “Uncle is right.”

nMother Xiao furrowed her brows and asked worriedly, “Then what should we

ndo?

nXiao Lingyu sighed and said, “Let’s wait and see. Maybe a solution will present

nitself.”

nGong Tianhao sighed in his heart. “The solution is standing right here. She

nknows my family.. Why doesn’t she rely on me? Or does she feel I can’t protect

nher family?

n
