【Mutter the Saito website three times, do you remember? If you don't remember, I'll ask again in the next chapter. It's best to share it on Facebook.】

Zhao Xinyu was slightly taken aback, then he laughed, "Grandpa Han, I've already talked it over with Han Jun and Han Li. If things go well on my side, they will come back to help me."

When Han Tianliang heard this, his eyes lit up. He had always lived in Xihan Ridge and had deep feelings for the place. He had never agreed with Han Jun and Han Li going out to work.

If Zhao Xinyu could bring the two brothers back now, it would be the best thing he could hope for. A month ago, he wouldn't have believed that Zhao Xinyu could make money by growing vegetables, but this time, he was convinced that Zhao Xinyu could definitely make money from his vegetables.

"I'll call them as soon as I get home and tell them to come back right away."

Zhao Xinyu laughed, "Grandpa Han, let me make the call. If you call them, they might think we're tricking them. These days, if you need help, just wait until the cucumbers and tomatoes are ready to sell, then I'll call them back."

"Alright, you make the call. I'll come over early tomorrow. In about four or five days, the spinach and bok choy will be ready to sell. You can go out and look for some suitable places in the meantime."

After seeing Han Tianliang off, Zhao Xinyu went to the bok choy field. Although he had watered the plants in the morning, the bok choy leaves were still large and lush, each weighing at least half a pound. The bok choy, with its dew drops, looked even more crystal clear under the sunlight, like jade, very beautiful.

Staring at the bok choy in the field, Zhao Xinyu's eyes kept flickering. Compared to tomatoes and cucumbers, bok choy and spinach were planted in smaller quantities, but each field was still over an acre. These vegetables were one-time crops, and if left in the ground for too long, they would bolt and flower, and by then they would only be good for feeding sheep and rabbits.

He knew the taste of the vegetables watered from the space, and he was confident that if he took the bok choy and spinach to Tianyi Garden, there would be no problem with sales.

However, he also knew that the days ahead would be busier, and he couldn't sell all the vegetables by himself.

Not wanting to be discovered, and with the vegetables about to be ready for sale, Zhao Xinyu felt a bit anxious. He decided not to think about it and left on his bike.

For the whole day, Zhao Xinyu rode aimlessly, trying to find business opportunities to solve his problems and find a way to sell his vegetables.

He didn't know how many vegetable shops he had visited, but as soon as he mentioned that he had some vegetables to sell, they would immediately push him out without giving him any chance.

When Zhao Xinyu was once again pushed out by a shop owner, he lost his patience. Looking up at the dark sky, he decided not to go home and found a fast food restaurant nearby for a quick meal.

After eating, he looked at his phone and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had been like a headless fly, looking for places to sell his bok choy and spinach, and now it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Thinking about not finding a sales channel, Zhao Xinyu felt frustrated. He went to the alley where he had parked his electric bike and rode back. Distracted, he didn't notice that a woman, reeking of alcohol, was lying in the back of his car, with vomit all over the car and on her face.

When he got home and locked the door, Zhao Xinyu only noticed the woman in the car when he went inside. His face changed when he saw that the woman was barely breathing.

He quickly wiped the vomit from her mouth and nose and felt her pulse. After a moment, Zhao Xinyu's expression changed. From feeling her pulse, he knew that the woman wasn't just drunk but had been drugged.

He took out his phone to call the police but then smiled bitterly. His cautious nature, developed over the years, made him hesitate. If he called the police now, with the woman in his car and in his yard, he would be in trouble if anything went wrong.

Looking at the unconscious woman, Zhao Xinyu's eyes flickered. The words his grandfather had taught him flashed in his mind. Without any hesitation, he carried the woman into his room.

He took off her vomit-stained clothes and found the silver needles he had bought. Taking a deep breath, he inserted the silver needles into her chest, which glinted in the light.

After about half an hour, Zhao Xinyu removed the silver needles and felt her pulse again. He felt relieved when he found that her pulse was steady and she just needed to sober up.

He placed the woman on the bed and, before leaving, saw her vomit-stained clothes on the floor. Thinking that she couldn't leave in those clothes tomorrow, he shook his head, fetched some water, and washed the clothes before leaving.

While Zhao Xinyu was treating the woman, in a private room of a hotel, a young man in his mid-twenties had a dark expression. In front of him were several broken plates, and at the door were three young men trembling with fear.

"Mr. Hu, Du Mengnan's car is still there, and her bag is in the car, she..."

"Worthless! You couldn't even keep an eye on one person. If Du Mengnan escapes again, it will be hard to find another chance. Find her again, and if the drug wears off, it will be too late."

"Mr. Hu, Du Mengnan left through the kitchen, we..."

"Enough talk! Go find her now. If you mess up my plans, I won't forgive you."

Because there were people at home, Zhao Xinyu didn't dare to enter the space to pick vegetables. For the first time in over a month, he slept in.

While he was sleeping, the whole Pengcheng city was in chaos, with countless people searching the streets and alleys, and even the police were involved. The road in front of Zhao Xinyu's courtyard was filled with people searching.

Perhaps because he came back late yesterday and spent time treating the woman and washing her clothes, Zhao Xinyu woke up when it was already bright. After sitting up, he immediately thought of the woman. Remembering that Han Tianliang said he would come over today, he quickly got up.

When he went to his room, he saw the door wide open and the room empty. The woman from yesterday had left at some point.

"Black Wind."

After a few low growls, Black Wind came to his side, staring at him with his big head.

"Black Wind, she left on her own."

Black Wind nodded and growled a few times.

Zhao Xinyu sighed with relief. Thinking that he hadn't fed Black Wind last night, he went back to his room to prepare some food for him. While he was preparing the food, Han Tianliang and his people came into the courtyard to tend to the vegetables.

Over the next few days, the vegetables in the courtyard changed every day. The bok choy and spinach were ready to sell, but there was still no sales channel.

That morning, not long after Zhao Xinyu returned from Tianyi Garden, Black Wind started barking wildly at the front door.

"Black Wind," Zhao Xinyu, who had just washed his face and was about to prepare a meal, immediately went out and quickly walked to the front door. He knew someone was coming, but it definitely wasn't Han Tianliang and his regular visitors.

When he opened the door, Zhao Xinyu was slightly taken aback. He saw a woman standing at the door, and a red sports car parked on the road nearby. Although Zhao Xinyu didn't know the brand, he could tell it was an expensive car.

The woman was dressed fashionably, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with a beautiful face and long, smooth black hair. She wore a light purple dress and white sandals, and her face showed no smile, giving off an aura of "do not approach."

Looking at the woman, Zhao Xinyu felt a vague sense of familiarity but couldn't remember where he had seen her before. He had delivered takeout for years and had seen countless people, so he didn't think much about it.

"Who are you looking for?"

To Zhao Xinyu's surprise, the woman just glanced at him and walked into the courtyard. Black Wind, like a human, followed her silently, leaving Zhao Xinyu, the owner, behind.
