"Are we perhaps worrying unnecessarily? The Geng Metal Mine is deep beneath the lake. It seems very well-hidden; the Shen Family shouldn't be able to discover it," Zhao Keru cautiously asked.
Zhao Sheng shook his head and explained, "Uncle Ru, we can't just focus on the short term. Once the Shen Family settles in, they could come across that wild lake at any time. What will we do if they discover the Geng Metal Mine?"
Hehe!
Zhao Keru let out an awkward laugh, "Maybe by the time they discover it, the Geng Metal Mine will have long been mined out by us. As long as we destroy any traces, nobody will be able to tell that a Geng Metal Mine ever existed there."
Zhao Keru was prudently minded; the family had suffered significant losses recently, and he was not willing to provoke a conflict over a spirit mine.
