Wang Jianli sighed . He had to take them to Wang Yao’s clinic .

“Had a fall?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes,” Wang Jianli said .
“I see,” Wang Yao said .
He happened to finish seeing his patients and had nothing to do . They went together to the foot of Nanshan hill .
“Please wait here for me,” Wang Yao said .
“Why can’t we go with you?” the surveyor asked .
“Would you allow strangers to enter your own house?” Wang Yao asked .
“But, this is just a hill,” one of the surveyors said .
“This is my hill,” Wang Yao coldly said .
The surveyors didn’t know what to say . They watched Wang Yao walk up the hill through a small path among the trees .
“His hill? Bullsh*t!” one of the surveyors unhappily said .
“Exactly! How arrogant he is!” Another surveyor agreed .
On his way up the hill, Wang Yao bumped into San Xian, who brought something to him in his mouth .
“You took this off?” Wang Yao curiously asked .
Woof! Woof! San Xian barked toward the sky .
“You mean Daxia did it?” Wang Yao asked .
Woof!
What a coincidence! Wang Yao laughed . He had fantastic helpers on land and in the sky .

“Well done! Thank you so much!” Wang Yao patted San Xian’s head with a smile . “As for this one…” He took a look at the drone in his hand .
The surveyors had become impatient while waiting at the foot of Nanshan Hill .
“How come he’s still not back?” a surveyor asked .
“I suppose he is still looking for the drone . Be patient,” Wang Jianli said .
“What do you think he has on the hill that he doesn’t want people to see?” a surveyor asked .
“Must be something valuable, like wild ginseng or expensive plants,” another surveyor said .
They had waited for nearly one hour before Wang Yao came back with a drone .
“Is this the drone you’ve been looking for?” Wang Yao handed the drone to one of the surveyors .
“How… How come it is like this?” the surveyor asked in shock .
He was surprised to see that the drone had been completely damaged and couldn’t be fixed .
“I found it among the rocks near the foot of the hill . Maybe it smashed onto a rock after falling from the sky . You can see it is severely damaged,” Wang Yao said .
“OK, thanks,” the surveyor said .
They left feeling disappointed .
“How are we going to report it to the manager?” one of the surveyors asked .
“The drone is not cheap,” another surveyor said .
“Exactly, it costs several tens of thousands of dollars,” one of the surveyors said .
“Do you think the cost will be deducted from our wages?” another surveyor asked .
All of them were upset . They planned to never come anywhere close to Nanshan Hill again .

In fact, the drone wasn’t badly damaged when Wang Yao found it . He took some time to study it before crushing it with his hands . The major parts were broken into pieces and not fixable . He didn’t want the drone to take pictures of his herbal field . Otherwise, his secrets would be released .
The surveyors still took the drone to a store for repair . They wanted to try their luck .
“Are you sure it dropped on the ground instead of being crushed by a car?” the store assistant asked .
“Yes,” a surveyor said .
“I don’t think it is fixable . You can throw it away,” the store assistant said .
“What!” the surveyor cried . “Oh no!”
They would definitely get blamed .
“Why did they ask us to do the damn survey over there?” one of the surveyors complained .
It was really hot that day . The temperature reached 100 degrees at noon . It was even hot in the village .
Sun Yunsheng came to the village to see Wang Yao . He was in a hurry .
“Hello, Yunsheng, how can I help you?” Wang Yao asked .
“Dr . Wang, can you please have a look at this?” He showed Wang Yao a highway planning map .
“Weihai highway?” Wang Yao knew about the highway, which had been under construction for a long time .
“Yes, the highway connects Haiqu and Wei . It had been approved by the government . The construction had started . Take a look at this . ” He pointed at a place on the map .
“Is that?” Wang Yao was shocked .
The highway would cross the east side of the village . It seemed that it would also cross Nanshan Hill .
It was clear that every obstruction would be removed for the highway to pass . Houses would be demolished, and hills would be dug .
“I can’t let the high go through the village,” Wang Yao said . “It is so strange . They should have checked the areas when they were planning the highway . ”

“They will come to check,” Sun Yunsheng said . “They had sent surveyors here to prepare for future construction . They will soon work out a budget . ”
Wang Yao immediately got why those surveyors had come the other day . They came for the highway . He should have asked why they were visiting the village .
“I suppose the original plan was not like this,” Wang Yao said .
If the highway was going to go through their village, it should be in the original plan . After all, the government would have to compensate the villagers for occupying their lands . Relevant personnel should have visited the village a long time ago, and everyone in the village would have been talking about it . Wang Yao was sure the change of plan happened recently .
“I’ve asked someone in the government . The original plan was not like this . They adjusted the plan recently . The original plan was like this . ” Sun Yunsheng drew a line on the map . “See, the new plan actually took a detour, like…”
“Like they deliberately want the highway to pass the village, right?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, I agree with you,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“So, who did the plan?” Wang Yao asked .
“Technically, any plans of building a highway have to be approved by the provincial government,” Sun Yunsheng said . “The plan is also required to be filed in the higher level of government department . I presume the department of infrastructure in the province is in charge of the plan . ”
“Can the plan be changed?” Wang Yao asked .
“I heard it’s gonna be really difficulty . My people are communicating with those people who are in charge of the plan,” Sun Yunsheng said .
Although Sun Zhengrong’s business was on a large scale and he had a solid social network in Qi province, his family was not powerful enough to change the plan of a highway, which could cost billions of dollars to build .
In addition, the change was out of the blue this time . If further changes had to be made, the construction would have to be delayed . The government really wanted the construction to finish by May 1 of the next year .
“What is the reason for the change?” Wang Yao asked .
“I heard underground water was found under part of the highway in the original plan, and there was a reservoir nearby, which would increase the complexity of construction . Therefore, they had to change the plan,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“Do you think it is reasonable?” Wang Yao asked . He was not familiar with building construction while Sun Yunsheng had some knowledge in it . Sun Yunsheng’s family also invested in land developing .
“No! Given the technology nowadays, building a bridge over the ocean is not a problem, let alone some underground water,” Sun Yunsheng said . “Protecting underground water is just a stupid excuse . They just need to build a bridge over it . It’s not gonna affect the environment .
“Thank you for dealing with this for me,” Wang Yao said .
“I’ll try my best . Don’t worry, Dr . Wang,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“I’ll make all the necessary payments . You just need to let me know as soon as possible of any news about the highway,” Wang Yao said .
“Sure,” Sun Yunsheng said after thinking for a moment . “I’ll try my best to use all my connections to solve the problem . If you know anyone who can stop the highway passing the village, don’t hesitate to ask for help . I think soon there will be people coming to the village to negotiate the compensation . ”
“I know,” Wang Yao said .
Sun Yunsheng had heard this news by accident during a recent party . He immediately asked someone to get the planning map and brought the map to Wang Yao right away .
Hmm! Wang Yao kept thinking about the highway after Sun Yunsheng had left . He wanted to know why there had been a change in the plan . However, his priority was to stop the highway passing his village .
Who should I speak to?
After thinking for a while, he decided to meet Yang Haichuan in Haiqu . Yang Haichuan was currently the head of Haiqu . He called Yang Haichuan but was cut off right away .
Yang Haichuan returned his call about an hour later . “Sorry, Dr . Wang, I was in a meeting . How can I help you?”
Wang Yao made an appointment to meet Yang Haichuan . He left the village early in the morning the next day for Haiqu .
Yang Haichuan didn’t meet him at work . He was surprised to know the purpose of Wang Yao’s visit .
“I really don’t know why they changed the plan,” he said . Of course, someone had reported the change to him, but they only mentioned that it was a minor change . He didn’t ask for details . “The highway is going to pass your village?”
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“Please wait a second . ” Yang Haichuan made a phone call in front of Wang Yao .
“It was the Department of Infrastructure in the province to request the change, not from Wei or Haiqu,” Yang Haichuan said after hanging up .
“Is it possible that the highway won’t pass my village?” Wang Yao asked .
“Well, this is going to be tricky,” Yang Haichuan said .
He wanted to help Wang Yao, but he couldn’t given his current position . He was in a tricky situation . As the head of Haiqu, he needed a good excuse to change the plan of the highway again .
