The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C590 – Found It

The middle-aged man turned his head away and closed his eyes, perhaps questioning his life choices at that moment.

“I’ll definitely check when I get off the plane. Could they have conspired to deceive me?”

​The young woman leaned toward Su Ming and whispered a soft “Thank you!”

“It’s no big deal. I always enjoy playing the hero,” Su Ming replied with a chuckle.

​They were peers with shared interests, and they struck up a lively conversation on the plane. The middle-aged man listening nearby felt like his head was about to explode.

​​Seriously? Was this designed to infuriate him?

They added each other as friends during the flight, and soon enough, the plane touched down safely at the airport. As soon as they were allowed to disembark, the middle-aged man grabbed his bag and left in a hurry.

​It was his first time in first class, and it had never felt so interminable; he would have preferred economy!

​With Xiao Ke’er’s disappearance being a pressing matter, Su Ming quickly bid farewell to the young woman and departed. The butler was already waiting at the airport entrance. Once in the car, with Su Ming in the passenger seat, the butler briefed him on the situation.

“Our Miss has been missing for 36 hours with no leads. The police are searching, but to no avail…” The butler was visibly distressed, wracked with worry and a sense of guilt.

​The family had always taken great care to protect Xiao Ke’er, but they had let their guard down in the safety of their own stronghold and the capital’s secure environment. They hadn’t anticipated that a crisis would still arise.

​Su Ming remained silent, his head bowed in deep thought. Suddenly, he looked up, “Butler, do you have a map?”

​”A map?” The butler was taken aback. Why would they need a map now?

“Just trust me, I need it,” Su Ming said earnestly.

​​”Okay,” the butler agreed, nodding. “There’s a newsstand nearby; they should have one.”

“Good, and pick up a compass as well.”

​”A compass?!” The butler was completely baffled.

He could understand the need for a map, but a compass? What for?

Since Su Ming had instructed him so, he didn’t dare to question it and simply went about the task obediently. The butler parked the car at the curb, purchased a map of the capital from a newsstand, and then acquired a compass from the neighboring stationery store. He handed the items to Su Ming and continued driving, with Su Ming unfolding the map in the passenger seat.

​With the compass in hand, Su Ming measured a twenty-kilometer radius and began to draw circles from the center of the capital. Several large circles adorned the map, encompassing the entire city, with some overlapping to ensure there were no gaps. Su Ming then marked certain centers with a pen and instructed the butler, “Butler, we’ll visit these locations one by one.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Eh… Alright,” the butler replied, his confusion evident. What exactly was Su Ming up to? But he remembered his family’s advice before he left: Mr. Su is free to do as he pleases; don’t ask questions.

The butler dutifully drove to the nearest marked location. Once there, Su Ming stepped out of the car and, standing by the roadside, retrieved a bamboo dragonfly from his pocket. Though the dragonfly was usually kept at home, Su Ming had a portal at his disposal. He wrote Xiao Ke’er’s name on a slip of paper, attached it to the dragonfly, and released it. The dragonfly hovered and circled in the air before landing and gradually vanishing. No sign of Xiao Ke’er was found. Su Ming wasn’t surprised or rushed; he hadn’t expected to find her on his first attempt.

​Su Ming then re-entered the car. In summary, he visited several locations, each time performing what seemed like an enigmatic ritual to the befuddled butler. Was this man trustworthy, or was he a charlatan? Had the butler picked up the wrong person? Something seemed off, but he dared not voice his concerns. His family had emphasized that this man was a sage, not to be offended.

The steward wouldn’t dream of objecting.

They quickly reached the fifth location.

It was the usual procedure, yet this time the dragonfly unexpectedly took off in a specific direction.

“Found it!”

A gleam of excitement shone in Su Ming’s eyes as he swiftly boarded the vehicle and commanded, “Butler, make a left turn!”

???

The butler was utterly baffled. How on earth did you find it?

What in the world? How did you manage that?

Do you possess some kind of supernatural vision or a nose that can detect scents from afar?

This is just too incredible, isn’t it?

But the butler obediently followed the instructions.

I dare not speak, nor do I dare to question.

The dragonfly was exceptionally smart, pausing in midair every so often to ensure Su Ming could keep up, and its flight path mirrored the roads below.

Despite his doubts, the butler’s actions were swift, pressing the gas pedal firmly. What if it were true? After all, the family had gone to great lengths to bring Su Ming here and had emphasized the importance of treating him with care, signifying his exceptional talents.

Before long, the dragonfly halted at the entrance of a residential complex.

“Stop the car!”

The butler hit the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a standstill. Once Su Ming exited, he turned to the butler and said, “Stay here. I’ll be right back with your young miss.”

With that, Su Ming strode into the complex.

The butler was left in a state of bewilderment.

I’m seriously tempted to start a live stream and ask the viewers.

How did he pull it off?

Are the youth of today really this adept?

Has technology advanced once more?

Ah, it’s tough keeping up with the times when you’re getting older. This method of finding someone is quite unconventional…

But then again, that doesn’t add up. Normally, the police would have the most sophisticated methods for finding someone.

How could they have failed?

The butler’s mind was a tangled mess, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.

The bamboo dragonfly observed Su Ming entering the complex and moving toward a certain direction, with Su Ming running after it.

Shortly thereafter, the bamboo dragonfly arrived at the third floor of a building in the complex, hovering slowly by a window before dissolving into tiny points of light.

Found it!

A rush of elation filled Su Ming, and he quickly made his way into the building.

Upon reaching the third floor, Su Ming noted there were three apartments in total. The one visited by the bamboo dragonfly must be apartment 301. He examined the door closely. It was nothing out of the ordinary, just a typical residential unit.

​​​”Knock, knock, knock!”

Su Ming rapped on the door.

“Who’s there?”

A distinctly impatient voice echoed from inside.

​”Delivery,” Su Ming announced cheerfully from the doorway.

“Delivery?”

The voice inside sounded confused. “Did any of you order food?”

“No, we didn’t. Maybe it’s a wrong delivery. Let’s just bring it in and eat it anyway,” another voice suggested.

​Following the brief exchange, the door swung open.
