"Is it the Bai Family?"
"Yes, the Hua Guo Jiu Da Jia Zu. Although the Lin Family has a smaller population, their strength is unmatched. The Bai Family is a family of metaphysics; not only do they have many descendants, but they also have numerous disciples. They are one of the few families that can compete with the Lin Family."
"What do the Xuanmen want?"
"The Bai Family has been based in the south for generations. Before the liberation, they wanted a foothold in the capital, but after all these years, they haven't succeeded. Now that the government is auctioning off that piece of land, they believe their opportunity has come. If they acquire it, not only will they gain entry into the capital, but they will also slap the Lin Family in the face."
"Is that piece of land large?"
"It's not too big or too small—just right."
Yan Kongyue stroked her chin. She didn't have much concept of land area, but it certainly wouldn't be small. Then she looked at Lin Lie and said, "Brother, if that piece of land loses its significance for buying and selling, will they give up?"
"There have been some complications this time; otherwise, the Lin Family wouldn't be so passive."
"With the Lin Family's strength, how could they not be prepared for this?"
"Actually, at first, the government didn't plan to auction it off. They knew the Lin Family would buy that piece of land and were ready to sign an intent letter. However, suddenly there was an issue with the leader in charge of this project, so it was put on hold. But half a month ago, the Lin Clan received a notice to participate in the auction. We were all quite surprised; our uncle is an official. The Lin Family couldn't be too proactive in this matter and had to rely on their strength to bid. And that's how it turned out."
"You only received notice half a month ago?"
"Yes, they had already made all their arrangements; notifying the Lin Clan was just a formality!"
"I heard from Fourth Brother yesterday that he joined the crew two months ago. It seems they came prepared!"
"If it were just an ordinary piece of land, there would be no need for the Lin Family to compete with them. But this is land left by our ancestors; the original deed is still in our grandfather's safe! It's just that it's become part of history."
"Brother, I have a way to make them stop fighting for that piece of land."
"What method?"
"First, take me to see that piece of land!"
"Let's eat first; after we finish eating, I'll take you!"
Yan Kongyue's face flushed slightly as she rubbed her stomach; during their conversation, her stomach had grumbled a few times.
Uncle Da Huo Jin knew Yan Kongyue's appetite well and had already arranged for food. As soon as they went downstairs, he called for the dishes to be served.
"Sister, come eat!" Lin Lang had just gotten up and was waiting in the living room since he knew Yan Kongyue hadn't risen yet.
"Fourth Brother, aren't you in a crew?"
"No, the director gave me a few days off since I don't have many scenes left. In a few more days, we'll finish filming!"
"Hey? Wait a minute, Fourth Brother, where's your hair?"
"What hair?" Lin Lang instinctively touched the top of his head.
"Oh, that long hair you had yesterday was fake!" Yan Kongyue suddenly remembered that not only did he have long hair yesterday, but he was also wearing a costume for a period drama.
"You scared me! I thought you had a topknot!"
"Uh, I'm going out with Eldest Brother soon. Do you want to join us?" Yan Kongyue quickly changed the subject.
"Ah!"
The Lin Family's villa area was quite large, but there were only a few dozen houses. However, the Lin Family occupied a third of the area.
