A few people followed Miao Qing into the remote Miao Village, far from the city. The villagers, upon seeing Miao Qing return, greeted her warmly in Miao Language, indicating that she was well-liked in the village. However, they regarded the four outsiders with wary eyes.
A few curious children trailed behind them, giggling softly, but were quickly scolded and pulled away by the adults.
"Don’t mind them, brothers and sisters. We rarely have outsiders visit our village," Miao Qing explained with a smile. "Let me take you to see the beekeeping site first; it’s just up the hillside behind the village."
As they passed through Wu Chao Village, they walked along a muddy path overgrown with wild grass. After about ten minutes, they reached a clearing—a flat terrace appeared before them.
The terrace was surrounded by a dense bamboo fence, and near the entrance stood a wooden hut with a thatched roof. Behind it were neatly arranged dozens of beehives, where several Miao workers dressed in blue shirts and straw hats were busy at work.
Miao Qing stopped and pointed ahead. "This is the Golden Money Bee pilot site of Tianming Industries. Many young men from our village are employed here; their income is much higher than farming."
She did not proceed further but instead said her goodbyes: "Brothers and sisters, I need to go home and check on my grandfather. If you need anything, feel free to come find me at my house. My grandfather is the Old Miao Doctor in the village; everyone knows him. Just ask any villager where the Old Miao Doctor lives, and you’ll find me."
The group thanked Miao Qing and watched her disappear down the mountain path before strolling into the pilot site.
Upon closer inspection, these beehives were much larger than ordinary ones, each painted white with a number written on it. Surrounding the hives were numerous plants blooming with small yellow flowers, filling the air with a light floral fragrance mixed with the sweetness of honey.
Several large Golden Money Bees buzzed among the flowers, their abdomens faintly showing golden rings. Ruan Xiaoshuang took out her camera and cautiously approached one of the hives to take a photo.
"Xiaoshuang, be careful! Don’t get too close," Fang Zigui warned as he reached out to stop her. "The Golden Money Bee's venom is no joke."
Just then, a patrolling worker wearing a straw hat hurried over and blocked their way. "Stop! This is private property; unauthorized personnel are not allowed inside!"
Before Lin Mingchang could explain, a booming voice came from behind them: "Wait! master Liu, you must not be so rude."
They turned to see a tall middle-aged man striding toward them. He was dressed in an elegant gray Zhongshan suit, his hair neatly combed, and wore an experienced smile on his face.
The patrol personnel saw him and immediately bowed their heads respectfully. "Yes, Long Boss."
The four exchanged glances, surprised. The person they had failed to find at Tianming Industries was right here.
"Long Tianming, the owner of Tianming Industries. What brings you esteemed guests from afar?" Long Tianming extended his hand and shook hands with Lin Mingchang and Fang Zigui.
Lin Mingchang briefly introduced himself and his companions. After hearing the introductions, Long Tianming's smile grew even warmer. "So, you are guests who have traveled a long way. No wonder I found you unfamiliar. Since you are here to assist the Police Station, I will make sure to treat you well and cooperate fully."
He then gestured for them to follow. "Since you are interested in the Golden Money Bee, let me personally show you around."
