Fade pointed at Koriel. "Do all the rich families make their fortune by cheating people?"
Lynn turned and looked at Koriel. Her eyes narrowed.
She shook her head. "Only the Xie family is like that. Everyone else is fine."
Fade looked at her curiously. "Oh?"
Shen lowered her voice, "People in our village all live on Greenfield Mountain. We make our living by picking herbs."
"Only later did the Guo family expand their territory until they occupied almost half of the mountain."
"Ten years ago, the Guo family wanted to take over the whole Greenfield Mountain. They tried to chase all of us mountain villagers out." "There are many of us. Our ancestors lived on the mountain for more than a hundred years, so we weren't going down without a fight. Therefore, we banded together to oppose the Guo family.”
"But they were very strong. They coerced and bribed several families who left the mountain.
They broke the union of mountain villagers, and we were forced to leave."
Fade could guess what was going on. "Konel's family was one of the families who were bribed to leave the mountain?"
Lynn nodded and said, "Yes, Koriel's family was the first to rebel, so they got the most benefits."
"There was very little subsidization for the mountain people who left later. The last few families got nothing at all. The Guo family had to force them out."
Her eyes were filled with tears as she spoke.
He had guessed the rest. "Lynn, was your family the last to leave the mountain?"
She nodded and said, "My grandfather is an old mountaineer. He firmly opposed the Guo family's attempt to monopolize Greenfield
Mountain, so he persisted until the end."
"My family became the object of the Guo's family's wrath. Five years ago, my parents fell off a cliff and died while picking herbs."
"The official report declared it an accident, but Grandpa is an old mountaineer. He went to the scene himself. He was convinced that it was not an accident, but that someone did something to the ropes and killed my parents."
"At that time, Grandpa suspected the Guo family, but without any evidence, what chance did we stand against them?”
"In addition, for the sake of my safety, Grandpa left the mountain in the end."
After listening to Lynn's story, Fade frowned and his eyes were cold.
He had come to have a chat with the Guo family about Monash to see if he could pick up on any clues.
However, now, it seemed that the Guo family were tyrants bullying the locals.
"When the time comes, there will be a reckoning for the Guo family," he thought to himself.
At that moment, Koriel looked up from his phone and saw Fade and Lynn. "Lynn, I've never seen you so bold. Bringing home a man you just met. How much did you charge him?"
"Name your price, I, Uncle Koriel, want in."
She flushed with anger and glared at him. "What are you talking about? It's late and Brother Chen doesn't have a place to stay. It's not like that."
"Is that so?" Koriel laughed. "You're bringing a strange man home at night, so what else am I supposed to think? Aren't you being a little naive?"
She was furious. "You..."
He grinned cheekily and continued, "Lynn, I've watched you grow up. I know you have lost your parents, and the old man is sick. You're having a hard time."
