Chapter 2961: Chapter 2961: Buying Peace with Money

Watching Brother Qian and his wife buy the land along the way, spending so much money, he couldn’t understand what these two were thinking.

Since it’s hard to ask Brother Qian directly, he decided to ask his uncle, is there any hidden agenda here?

"Alright."

Qian Jiyun responded, signaling him to hurry up and go.

...

"I heard it cost twice as much."

Inside the room, Hong Tianxu gestured with two fingers to his uncle and aunt, feeling even more disdain for the Le Family.

"The Le Family dares to take so much, just because no one is backing Brother Qian and his wife. If they knew Brother Qian was involved with our City Lord Residence... Ah, Auntie, why did you hit me?"

Before he could finish his sentence, his aunt had already slapped the back of his head hard.

"You’re such a fool, just like when you were a kid!"

Hong Dahua looked at her nephew with disdain. He hadn’t learned a bit of her savvy, but had completely inherited his father’s naivety!

"What did I do wrong?"

Hong Tianxu felt wronged, what had he done?

It was clearly the Le Family’s head who was too ruthless, what did it have to do with him?

"Wasn’t I right? Double the money, Brother Qian he..."

"Right about what! Young Master Qian spent money for peace and also gave face to our City Lord Residence; you really don’t understand at all!"

Hong Dahua shook her head at her nephew. What will become of such a foolish nephew in the future?

"What do you mean?"

Hong Tianxu still didn’t understand.

Wasn’t the original intention to have Brother Qian owe them a favor, how did it end up with them selling a favor to the City Lord Residence?

"Cousin, that piece of land from the Le Family isn’t easy to buy."

The Young Master Bai, sitting aside, saw his cousin’s still puzzled expression and spoke directly.

"No matter which major clan bought the Le Family’s land today, they would be on the same boat as the Le Family. That’s why the clans hesitated. Such a good piece of land but, after the news got out, no one bought it for days."

He did indeed see a constant flow of people on that piece of land.

But not those who really wanted to buy it; no one had made up their mind.

"No one wants to confront the Ya family and the Ming family directly, becoming the Le Family’s burial accompaniment, so the Le Family’s land is hard to sell."

"Oh, I get it now."

Hong Tianxu finally understood, turned out this was the big pitfall they were waiting for.

"If our City Lord Residence really intervened, helping Brother Qian buy that land, it would be like telling the two major clans that we’re getting involved in their disputes, tsk tsk."

This is not a good thing.

The City Lord Residence could maintain absolute power in White Lion City because it never got involved in the clans’ fights, and even if it did, it maintained a neutral stance.

If that land were sold by the City Lord Residence, the Le Family wouldn’t immediately spread the word that they have aligned themselves with the City Lord Residence?

Then, the City Lord Residence would really be in trouble; its image in the eyes of the citizens of White Lion City would surely plummet.

"Why didn’t I think of this before? Brother Qian and his are indeed smart. The moment I mentioned it, they immediately understood, thankfully, thankfully."

He raised his hand and patted his chest, letting out a sigh of relief.
