Linyang County is not considered an economically developed county; in the entire Huaxia, it can only be ranked as below average.

However, its reputation is extremely high.

Many people may have never been to Linyang County, but they have all heard of its name.

The reason for its high reputation is because there are tens of thousands of various maple trees in Linyang County's town...

These maple trees were planted many years ago...

At that time, many places planted them, but the survival rate of maples in other areas was not very high; only in Linyang County was the survival rate particularly high...

These maple trees are not very attractive usually, but in late autumn, all the leaves turn deep red...

At that time, they look particularly beautiful...

Many people, after seeing them, are amazed at their beauty, even feeling like it's an Immortal Realm...

Linyang County knows to make good use of this resource, so it has been vigorously promoting it from earlier on, making Linyang County the first choice for many to view red maples...

Some people even specifically become residents here...

Now, it is late autumn again, so this place has gathered many tourists once more...

At this moment, as all the tourists arrive here, the first thing they see is Linyang County's latest landmark building, which is the county's most luxurious hotel.

This hotel is called Fantes Hotel, an absolutely top-class hotel previously built by Sun Yanshui with a huge investment.

From staff to equipment to service, this hotel is perfect in every way, making it very sought after.

In just two months since opening, it has had a super high occupancy rate.

This made Sun Yanshui very happy, and earlier, he even specially gave all the staff a bonus as a reward...

...

"Linyang County really is quite extraordinary!"

In the black car, sitting in the back seat, Xiaobei looked at the lush maples everywhere, sincerely admiring...

Hearing Xiaobei's soft praise, Song Yaling cast him a sidelong glance, "Xiaobei, we're not here for vacation, so can you stop looking around all the time?"

Earlier, Xiaobei said to start with Sun Yanshui...

So, he came here with Song Yaling...

Before coming, Song Yaling thought Xiaobei would be completely serious, but now, she realized she was wrong because this little bastard still had that devil-may-care attitude...

As if he was on a holiday...

Detecting Song Yaling's frustration, Xiaobei withdrew his gaze, "Uh... Sister Song, we're kind of sightseeing along the way! After all, it's our first time here; it'd be a shame not to take a good look around, don't you think?"

"I suppose so!"

Muttering this, Song Yaling glanced at the maple leaves outside...

Soon, Song Yaling looked at Xiaobei and seriously said, "Xiaobei, now that we're here, can you tell me your counterattack plan?"

At this time, Song Yaling was truly curious!

Because Xiaobei had never told her how he planned to counterattack!

Hearing such an incredibly curious inquiry, Xiaobei knew Song Yaling must be itching to know...

With a mysterious smile, Xiaobei said lightly, "You'll know in a bit! For now, let's just enjoy a good stroll; it's been so busy lately, there's really been no opportunity to take a good walk!"

"This... this works too!"

Hearing Xiaobei's words, Song Yaling thought for a moment and gently nodded...

Indeed, it had been exhausting lately, so now having time to rest was truly nice...

After parking the car, Xiaobei grabbed Song Yaling's soft hand...

"Little bastard, you..."

Hearing her speak with such shyness, Xiaobei quickly interrupted her, "What are you afraid of! No one here knows us! And even if they do, it doesn't matter! We're a couple after all!"

"You big rascal, you're getting bolder! Who's the couple with you!"

Hearing this half-hearted denial, Xiaobei laughed and quickly, he said proudly, "Sister Song, even if you deny it, it's useless. You'll never get out of my palm in this lifetime."

"Hmph!"

With a coquettish snort, she said nothing more and didn't continue to struggle, just letting Xiaobei hold her soft hand...

Seeing her completely acquiesce, Xiaobei burst into hearty laughter...

...

"How about it? The environment here isn't bad, right!"

On a high observation deck, Xiaobei glanced at Song Yaling, who stood beside him in sportswear, and opened his mouth gently!

Hearing Xiaobei's soft inquiry, Song Yaling took a deep breath!

After calming her breath, she spoke indifferently, "The environment is nice enough; although it can't compare to our Xiaohe Village, it's still really good!"

Hearing such an evaluation, Xiaobei chuckled softly...

Indeed!

The place was nice, but comparatively single-toned because it had only red maples...

Xiaobei believed many people wouldn't return after visiting once or twice...

With this thought, Xiaobei heard someone speak angrily!

"Are you kidding me? Why build such a structure here! Isn't this inside a scenic area? Aren't high buildings prohibited?"

Feeling that anger, Xiaobei turned to see an energetic elder shouting angrily...

"Looks like he's really mad!"

After making this judgment, Xiaobei looked in the direction of the man and found a towering building not far ahead!

Xiaobei knew that was the hotel Sun Yanshui had built here...

"This hotel indeed affects the viewing experience from this observation deck!"

Xiaobei muttered to himself, continuing to look around...

This was a 360-degree observation deck where every surrounding maple leaf could be seen clearly, which was particularly stunning!

But now, not far away, a tall building had appeared, blocking a large part of the scenery, making it hard to see all the maple leaves!

That was why this elder was crazily shouting at this moment...

Hearing the elder's shout, many young people quickly reminded, "Old man, don't shout like that! Otherwise, it won't end well!"

"What?"

"Nothing much, just that Sun Yanshui sent people patrolling around here, so it's not good to say such things!"

"He can do that, but I can't speak about it? If not, quickly demolish that damn obstructive building!"

This elder got more and more furious...

Finally, angrily pointing at the hotel newly built not long ago...

He was so angry that he trembled all over...

His name was Xu Yangjie, and he had loved these maples here when he was young!

Every year, he would come here to enjoy the maples...

He loved that fully unobstructed relaxation, but now, he could no longer experience it...

...

"Allowed! Of course, it's allowed!"

With a cold voice, several people with sneering faces quickly approached...

Seeing these people, everyone's expression changed slightly!

They knew these people were Sun Yanshui's men, so now things really didn't look good...

Seeing all those young people somewhat fearful and wanting to back off, the smiles on the faces of Sun Yanshui's men grew wider...

"The feeling of riding on coattails is amazing!"

Silently sighing at this, they expressionlessly said, "This is an observation deck; just look at the scenery, don't shout and yell, and especially don't make any comments about our hotel, you're not qualified!"

Hearing the threat in their words, the elder furrowed his brows and said, "Not qualified? Who are you? We came here to admire the red maples, and now they're blocked by this building. Can't we even speak a bit? That's too domineering!"

"Oh, you've got quite a temper, huh! Looks like you want to have a nice chat with us!"

Coldly sneering, they quickly surrounded him!

"This..."

Seeing them surround him directly, everyone around was frightened...

Before, they knew these people weren't reasonable, but they didn't expect them to approach so threateningly...

This wasn't just being unreasonable; it was pure nonsense...

Seeing them close in, the elder also frowned. He hadn't expected them to be so bold now!

"Now you know to be afraid? Let me tell you, stop causing trouble, or the consequences will be dire! You might even spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair!"

Seeing the elder's flustered look, they coldly approached.

Soon, they prepared to leave...

Xiaobei, seeing this scene, narrowed his eyes.

In the next moment, Xiaobei quickly stepped in front of them, stopping them without hesitation...
