It was already eleven o'clock in the morning. It was already early summer in the city and it was already a little hot. However, in this village, there were green trees. Zhou Tian parked his car outside the village. After walking in, he found it was very cool.

"This is a good place." Zhou Tian sighed in his heart.

It is naturally impossible to have surveillance in the village, so it is not easy to find Xu Qiang.

Moreover, the village is full of bluestone roads, and even if a car passes by, there will be no trace left.

It just so happened that an old lady was carrying water by the well.

This grandma is probably in her sixties. Although her body looks very strong, she is not trembling but also very laborious to carry at least 100 kilograms of water.

Zhou Tian hurried over and said, "Grandma, I'll help you."

He easily picked up the water from the grandma's shoulders and helped the grandma carry water.

"Thank you, young man." After the grandma thanked, she looked at Zhou Tian for a moment and said curiously: "Young man, you are not from our village, aren't you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Grandma, I am from Wuyue City, and I am here to find Mr. Xu Qiang and Mr. Xu." Zhou Tian carried the water and walked forward.

"Xu Qiang, he just came back last night. What were you doing with him?" said the grandma.

"I thought of a construction company that Mr. Xu was responsible for subcontracting some small projects, so I wanted to come to Mr. Xu's house to find Mr. Xu to get close to Mr. Xu."

Zhou Tian smiled and said, "But, Mr. Xu doesn't accept gifts, so I only know that his family lives here, but I still have to ask which family he is."

"Young man, you can see that you are a good person. This time you have hit the right person."

The old lady smiled and said, the wrinkles on her face were already very deep, but she looked so kind.

"Old grandma, do you know Mr. Xu?" Zhou Tian asked deliberately. He knew that his luck was really good. This kind-hearted old grandma would definitely tell him which family Xu Qiang's hometown is.

"Xu Qiang is the most famous and promising person in Qingshui Village. His parents have disappeared since he was a child. In the village, he grew up eating a hundred families, especially in my family, which is the one who eats the most. However, this child is really filial. After he finished college, he entered the Excellent Construction Company, started from a grassroots employee, and gradually became the general manager of the company. When the boss's daughter fell in love with him, he became the boss's son-in-law. Later, when the boss retired, he became the boss of the company."

The old lady said: "Many young and middle-aged people in our village work in Xu Qiang's company. He always takes good care of people from the same village. Moreover, every year he will give a sum of money to the village, and every household can get several thousand."

"I've heard that Mr. Xu is a great man, but I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be so affectionate and loyal."

Zhou Tian smiled and said, "Grandma, then, you are the biggest contributor to the cultivation of Mr. Xu, an excellent entrepreneur."

"This is Xu Qiang's own ability. I can't take credit. Back then, my boss and I had no son, and my daughter had already gotten married, so she treated him as half a son. He just ate a few bowls of rice. But over the years, he built a house for me, and what my wife and I ate and used were given by him."

When the old lady talked about Xu Qiang, she praised her endlessly.

"Young man, please send my house water to me. Xu Qiang's house is next to my house. If he doesn't agree to what you ask him for, the old woman will say a few words to you, and it will be effective."

The old lady said.

Zhou Tian felt that the people in Qingshui Village were so enthusiastic and simple. He also felt that Xu Qiang grew up eating a hundred families of food. He was so affectionate and righteous, so he should not be a trustless person. Why did he stop his construction site without saying hello?

"Grandma, thank you, then." Zhou Tian said.

"Young man, I don't help everyone, but I can see that you are a good person, and you and Xu Qiang are the same kind of people. Otherwise, I can't help you with whatever you want."

The old lady said.

Soon, she and Zhou Tian walked under a large ginkgo tree, which was a fork road.

The old lady walked quickly in front of Zhou Tian and led the way for Zhou Tian.

A few minutes later, Zhou Tian helped the old lady carry water into the large water tank in the yard.

Crunch.

As soon as Zhou Tian put down the bucket, the door of the next yard opened and a person walked out.

This is a 50-year-old man with a buzz cut and a straight waist. Who is Xu Qiang, the boss of Excellent Construction Company?

However, compared to when we met before, Xu Qiang seemed a little haggard and even had a shitty beard.

Obviously, Xu Qiang has experienced some difficult things these days.

Zhou Tian saw Xu Qiang, but Xu Qiang did not see Zhou Tian.

Xu Qiang lit a cigarette and looked around in a daze, wanting to go where he wanted to go, but he didn't know where he was going.

"Mr. Xu is there, old lady, I'll go there first. After I finish talking to Mr. Xu, I'll help you fill the bucket." Zhou Tian said to the old lady.

"Young man, do you want me to say hello to Xu Qiang for your business?"

The old lady asked kindly.

"Old grandma, don't want it anymore. I'll talk to Mr. Xu myself. I can't accept your reward just because I helped you pick up water."

Zhou Tian smiled and refused, and then he left the old lady's yard and walked towards Xu Qiang.

Xu Qiang was still standing at his doorstep smoking.

"Mr. Xu, long time no see." Zhou Tian walked over and said hello.

"Zhou...Mr. Zhou, why are you here?" Xu Qiang noticed Zhou Tian's arrival. He could not believe his eyes and said in shock.

"Mr. Xu, are we talking at this door, or do you ask me to talk to your house?"

Zhou Tian said calmly: "I'm very busy. After I finish talking to you later, I will go and help the old lady fill the water tank?"

"Mr. Zhou, let's talk at home." Xu Qiang sighed and said curiously: "You...how do you know me, Aunt Xu?"

"On the way here just now, I saw her diving, so I picked a section for her. I knew her."

Zhou Tian explained.

Soon, Xu Qiang invited Zhou Tian into the yard.

Xu Qiang looked outside, closed the yard gate, and said to Zhou Tian: "Mr. Zhou, go there for a cup of tea."

He asked Zhou Tian to sit down on a teahouse made of carved roots in the yard.

And there was a kettle hanging next to it, boiling water with firewood.

The water was boiling and the mist was rippling.

In the yard, there are two large ginkgo trees, with branches and leaves covering the top of the head, so it is almost noon, but people still feel cool and comfortable sitting next to the Root Diao Teahouse.

Zhou Tian didn't rush to ask Xu Qiang why he stopped his construction site, but sat on the Root Diao Teahouse and waited quietly.

This Qingshui Village is extremely quiet, and the yard is simple and close to nature. If you come to such a place to chat and relax with your friends today, it would definitely be extremely comfortable, but unfortunately, when he came to find Xu Qiang, things were still very urgent.

Soon, Xu Qiang made tea for Zhou Tian.

After the two drank for a few minutes, Zhou Tiancai started asking questions: "Mr. Xu, you stopped the construction site of my film and television center without even calling me. What is this?"

"Mr. Zhou, I was deliberately avoiding you, but I didn't expect that you found this place so quickly."

Xu Qiang sighed and said, "I'm so sorry."

"Mr. Xu, what can't be solved with just a word of sorry, right?"

Zhou Tian said coldly.

"Mr. Zhou, the cooperation between our company and your company was very pleasant, and I also know that you are not an ordinary person, but this time, I can only be sorry."

Xu Qiang hesitated for a while before saying, "My wife and daughter fell into the hands of someone else. This person threatened me that if I don't stop your construction site, they will immediately be in danger of death."

"Who is the one who threatens you?" Zhou Tian asked immediately. He had long guessed that Xu Qiang would not stop his construction site for no reason, because Xu Qiang was not such a person.

"I don't know who it is. A few days ago, my wife and my daughter went to the north for a trip, and soon after they got there, they were arrested. Then they threatened me, and they did not reveal their identity. They just asked me to stop any cooperation with you. If I don't do it, I will kill my wife and daughter."

Xu Qiang sighed, "You called me, but I didn't dare to answer. Now I don't know what to do."

Zhou Tian could see that this man, who was usually very calm and smart, was completely panicked at this moment.
