Max Mo's casual remark made the Village Chief's heart jump instantly.
Naturally, the Village Chief was well aware of what kind of person Max Mo was.
His family background was extremely complex and deep, with direct relatives entrenched throughout the military and political systems.
Although no one from the Mo Family directly governed Yuanshan County, it was undeniable that whenever the Mo Family spoke, all the officials in Yuanshan County, big and small, dared not disrespect them.
Eastshire Province covers an area of over 300,000 square kilometers.
The Mo Family may not hold official positions, but they are already the local overlords of Eastshire Province.
When the Mo Family speaks, their word is often more effective than some officials'.
After keeping everyone in suspense, Max Mo continued, "But this seems to be a decision from above, so the Mo Family can't intervene."
The Village Chief's heart suddenly sank.
Yuanshan Village has been rooted here for hundreds of years—how could they just move away at a moment's notice?
If the village relocates, what will happen to the Ancestral Hall here?
The Village Chief's gaze suddenly landed on Cecilia Gu, looking at her with pleading eyes.
Cecilia Gu seemed to understand why the people of Yuanshan Village were so enthusiastic toward her.
They're used to seeking help from the Yun Family whenever something big happens, aren't they?
But honestly, there's nothing I can do about this.
Still, how come I've never heard anything about Yuanshan Village having to relocate?
Why do they have to move?
Isn't living here perfectly fine for them?
What Cecilia Gu didn't know was that this was Eastshire Province's way of showing sincerity in the cooperation between Charles Yin and the Mo Family.
To keep Charles Yin, the financial powerhouse, Eastshire Province decided to relocate all of Yuanshan Village along the pipeline route to make way for the construction project.
