Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! Chapter 1282 So I Need Your Help

"This is?"

"Gold mine."

Emory looked at the ore vein in front of him and said with a heavy tone, "Back then, Aaron was a
geologist. He discovered the gold ore vein here, so he paid much attention to the Harper Town and
caused that tragedy."

"Ore vein? Throughout the entire mountain?"

Samuel owned a diamond mine in Africa, so he understood Emory's words.

Emory nodded and said, "Yes. Its source was in the Harper Town. Every master knew about it, and
their mission was to protect the ore veins. To them, gold was not wealth, but earth energy, which could
protect their town. Thanks to the veins, the bugs in the mountains were exceptionally good, and the
refined bugs were even better. As you know, the Harper Town passed down that tradition from ancient
times. This ore vein was the foundation for the Harper Town's existence. Once they were destroyed,
the quality of bugs would drop. It was said that only one Golden Bug could be refined in a few hundred
years, but people in the Harper Town refined three ones in excellent quality, only in ten decades.
Therefore, they definitely wouldn't allow any outsider to get close to the ore vein. To protect this secret,
the people of the Harper Town never intermarry with others outside the town. They want to keep this
secret forever."

Hearing this, Samuel paused for a moment.

Three Golden Bugs, for sure?

One was in his body. Where were the other two?

"William came here for the veins?"



"No, he was here for the Golden Bug."

Emory sighed and shook his head, "He is a love struck man. Back then, he had a crush on Sally, and
he thought that his big brother also fell in love with her. After being tricked out of the country by Sally,
he suffered misfortune. Afterwards, he discovered the secret of Sally and Audrey. But at that time, Sally
was the king's lady. He was disheartened, so he planned to leave that sad place, but he accidentally
found out that Sally had been poisoned with the bug. To dispel the bug, she needed the Golden Bug
from the Harper Town. In order to save Sally, he came here."

Samuel did not expect William to come here because of this.

He frowned and thought of something. Then he asked, "William came here, so did Mr. Morty's auntie.
Their coming attracted the attention of Lindo, who has been keeping an eye on the ore veins. He
thought William and Mr. Morty's auntie knew the secret, so he tried to kill them?"

"Probably. But William did find a Golden Bug and sent it to Sally, but his whereabouts were revealed.
From then on, he was missing. Sally has been looking for him for years, but he seemed to have
disappeared. Mr. Morty's auntie was also gone after William left."

Emory frowned. He was puzzled for this enigma.

Samuel recalled Jarrod's words and whispered, "Jarrod said that William is in the mountains."

"In the mountains?"

Emory was a little surprised.

"He's right."

Samuel was not calm.



"Emory, so Aaron came to the Harper Town for the ore vein. But outsiders were forbidden to enter,
right? Why could Aaron make it? And he even stayed there for long. Also, Zama is the young master.
How couldn't she know about this ore vein?"

Hearing Samuel's question, Emory whispered, "According to the rules of the Harper Town, the current
master will tell his successor the secrets of the ore vein before he or she dies. But that tragedy
happened suddenly, the old master did not have time to tell Zama about it, so Zama, as the young
master, knew nothing. If we hadn't started the geological surveys, we probably wouldn't have
discovered this secret. "

"Geological survey?"

"That's right. Aaron has an identity as a geological surveyor. I found it strange. Why would a geological
survey institute be interested in the Harper Town? And it is said that Aaron entered the Harper Town as
a geological surveyor at that time."

Hearing Emory's words, Samuel was somewhat puzzled.

"I don't understand. If the ore vein is the secret of the Harper Town, and Aaron is a geological surveyor,
shouldn't the people in the town have prevented him from entering, right?"

Emory nodded.

"It's supposed to be like this. But according to the file investigated, debris flow happened in the
mountains behind the Harper Town, so the ore vein hidden was exposed in that year. The villagers of
the Harper Town were panicked, so they organized some people to bury the ore vein. But the landslide
killed more than a dozen people. The old master did not give up and asked another group of people to
do it. However, something weird happened. All the people who participated in the burial operation died
at their homes without rhyme or reason. This incident caused a panic in the town. And Aaron was
detecting the geology nearby. The old master thought that Aaron was an expert in this field, so he



broke the rules and invited Aaron to the village. The old master had planned to kill Aaron after Aaron
buried the ore veins. However, before he could do that, the Harper Town was ruined."

Hearing what Emory said, Samuel felt sort of uncomfortable.

"Aaron deliberately plotted this. Perhaps he conjured up the landslide and the mysterious incident.
After all, his target was to find the entrance to the ore vein."

There were not many coincidences in this world. If there were, they must be done on purpose.

Emory nodded and said, "Yeah."

"How did you find out about this?"

Samuel was a little surprised.

Few people in the Harper Town survived, and now they all were staying or working beside him. How
could Aaron know about these past events?

Emory took out an ancient book from his shirt and handed it to Samuel.

Samuel felt that it looked very familiar. After flipping through it, he became depressed.

"Is this the ancient book from the Harper Town? Why is it here?"

"If I wanted it, it would be here. Some parts were written in Sanskrit, but I have asked someone to
translate it. Apart from some bug-refining techniques, it also recorded the secret history of the Harper
Town. Now, I return it to you."

Samuel frowned and said gloomily, "Shouldn't it be Joseph's?"

"I asked Zoe to borrow it."



Emory said it in a reasonable and confident tone, but Samuel was somewhat upset.

"Don't take advantage of my girl. Don't think that you can let Zoe do something as Nash is good to her."

"Your Zoe is a talent."

Emory did not conceal his love for Zoe.

Samuel said indifferently, "Yeah, my daughter is surely talented."

"Alright, don't be so stingy. I won't do anything ill to you. Now that you know about this, we need to
investigate who is behind Aaron next."

Samuel narrowed his eyes and said, "Aaron may have worked with Lindo back then, so the person
behind him must be Lindo."

"Lindo went abroad and disappeared the second year after he left."

Samuel was stunned by Emory's words.

"What did you say?"

"The information was well hidden. I also thought that Lindo was abroad, but I recently knew that that
person was not Lindo but his twin. If Lindo was the one behind Aaron, he didn't have a reason to
abandon his wife and son for hiding so many years. Moreover, if Lindo could get this gold mine, he
didn't need to hide. Do you know how much the gold mine in the mountains values?"

Samuel looked at the mountains in front of him and said indifferently, "Not as valuable as my diamond
mine."

The corner of Emory's mouth twitched.



"Poor taste. Why do you smell like coins?"

"I've been a businessman for ages. Should I smell like candy?"

Samuel's words upset Emory.

"You make me hate the rich."

"I have nothing but money. If the country needs it, I'll just donate it."

"Are you willing to do that?"

"Yeah. They are all mere worldly possessions."

Samuel's nonchalant appearance made Emory literally want to beat him.

Were all the wealthy men like him?

"Get back to the point. We have to capture Aaron first if we want to know who is behind the scenes.
Obviously, the higher-ups requested that Aaron must be arrested by any means and in a secret way, so
as to avoid alarming the plotters."

Samuel nodded with a somewhat solemn gaze.

"It's a bit difficult to capture Aaron quietly."

"So I need your help."

Samuel raised his eyebrows and thought of something.

"You want me to manipulate Jarrod?"



"It's not manipulating. Arresting Aaron is justified as he has done evils these years. And to Jarrod,
helping us would be beneficial. You should know that Jarrod has done a lot of murderous things. If he
helped us, he may have his leniency. I know that you are close to Jarrod, but Samuel, you know who
you are and what to do, right? "

Looking at Emory's eyes, Samuel felt very sad.

He did know everything Jarrod had done, and the higher-ups were clear about it, too. Now it was a
chance for Jarrod to atone for his sins. He also hoped that Jarrod could clean up his act.

However, Samuel was not sure what Jarrod would choose.

"Why couldn't cut some slack for Jarrod? Fill had done many evil deeds, but Mr. Morty still gave him a
hidden identity. Why couldn't he give Jarrod one?"

Emory sighed and patted Samuel's shoulder, saying, "Fill was cultivated by us. No matter what he did,
he was on our side. But Jarrod was a soldier abroad. Samuel, you should know that the philosophy of
military training abroad is different from ours. Fill was brutal, but all he killed were terrorists. He never
harmed any innocent. But Jarrod's organization worked for the people who paid. As long as he
received money, he could kill anyone. Many people who were murdered by him were innocents."

Samuel suddenly felt suffocating.

"It's not manipulating. Arresting Aaron is justified as he has done evils these years. And to Jarrod,
helping us would be beneficial. You should know that Jarrod has done a lot of murderous things. If he
