Third update!NovelFire Ye Chenfeng’s mind was on alert, "I’ll go check on the old master myself!" "Good, if you go, then I’ll be at ease!" Chu Renkuang said. "Yes!" Ye Chenfeng nodded. "Ye!" Chu Renkuang called out to Ye Chenfeng. Ye Chenfeng turned around and asked Chu Renkuang, "What’s wrong, old master?" "Ye, I think the contract between you and Qingxue should be voided, and then, once things stabilize, I’ll hold a wedding for you two!" Chu Renkuang spoke. Ye Chenfeng showed a hint of a smile, "I respect Qingxue’s opinion!" Then Ye Chenfeng silently added to himself, The contract expires tomorrow, and it’s just the time for me to leave and search for the whereabouts of the Ancient Tomb. Driving the Range Rover out of the garage, Ye Chenfeng hurried towards Qingyuan County. "Ranran, I have something tonight and won’t be able to visit your home. Let’s make it another time!" At the same time, Ye Chenfeng silently sent a text message. Qingyuan County has a very pleasant environment, a wide territory, and abundant natural resources, making it a satellite county of Jiangnan City. Many large companies have factories or bases in Qingyuan County, including the Chu Corporation, especially the base for cultivating medicinal materials for the health product industry. In the only four-star hotel in the county, the Rose Hotel, a feast was being hosted at the moment. The hosts of the banquet were Shi Lin and Hu Yang, the people in charge of the Chu Corporation’s medicinal material cultivation base. The guests of honor were Chu Qingxue and Gu Jundie, who had just arrived in Qingyuan County and were arranged by Shi Lin and Hu Yang to be here. "Shi Lin, Hu Yang, we have already eaten. Our purpose in coming today is..." Yet Chu Qingxue was interrupted mid-sentence; Shi Lin, a dark-skinned but shrewd-looking middle-aged man, cut in, "President Chu, I remember this is your second time in Qingyuan County, right? We regret not being able to host you properly the first time. This time, we naturally want to fulfill our obligations as hosts and let you and Secretary Gu taste the specialties of Qingyuan!" "Yes, President Chu, tonight we’ll welcome and refresh both you and Secretary Gu!" Hu Yang said. Hu Yang was a tall, burly man, who at first glance appeared simple and honest, yet the more you looked, the more you’d notice the constant flickers of sharpness in his eyes, making it impossible to overlook him. "Thank you," said Chu Qingxue, unable to discern the other party’s intentions, and was thus forced to agree. Back in Jiangnan, she got wind of the news that the employees of the medicinal material cultivation base in Qingyuan County had gone on strike, causing substantial impact to the company. Therefore, Chu Qingxue and Gu Jundie rushed to Qingyuan County without a break. But when they wanted to head to the base, they were stopped by Shi Lin and Hu Yang, who inexplicably took them to the Rose Hotel. At the dinner table, with little appetite for food, Chu Qingxue directly inquired, "I heard from the company’s employees in Jiangnan that the strike was quite serious. May I know what’s going on? Aren’t you two in charge going to explain it to me?" Shi Lin chuckled, "President Chu, there’s really no issue at all. They say poor mountains give rise to troublesome people, and most of the employees at our company’s cultivation base are villagers from rural areas near Qingyuan County, with little education, unable to discern right and wrong, always causing trouble. I might have suppressed them a bit harshly this time, which made things blow up more than expected, and I didn’t think it would alarm you all the way in Jiangnan!" "Actually, it’s all small stuff, President Chu. We can handle it ourselves, no need for you to worry. Compared with the big issues at the company, this matter is nearly negligible!" Hu Yang chimed in. "Really?" Chu Qingxue’s face was full of disbelief. "If President Chu is not reassured, we can go there tomorrow and show you around; I can guarantee there won’t be any issues!" Shi Lin assured. "Why not now?" Chu Qingxue wanted to go to the site right away and investigate the situation for herself. Shi Lin laughed, "President Chu, it’s already so dark now, and it’s quite inconvenient to go to the base. How about this—I’ll come pick you up tomorrow!" "Fine, I’ll go tomorrow!" Chu Qingxue could only compromise for the time being. "We have already arranged your room, President Chu. If there is any problem, feel free to call us anytime!" After making arrangements for Chu Qingxue and Gu Jundie, Shi Lin and Hu Yang left. "Make sure to keep a close watch on them!" Yet, once outside the hotel, Shi Lin and Hu Yang had four people keeping an eye on Chu Qingxue and her companion. "What do we do now, President Chu? I have a bad feeling about this!" Gu Jundie asked, frowning. Chu Qingxue bit her lip, "I’m now certain that something has happened at the medicinal herb cultivation base. Otherwise, Shi Lin and Hu Yang wouldn’t be so adamantly obstructing us, not even letting us near the base!" "Yeah, President Chu, I’m worried. I feel like they mean us harm, especially Hu Yang—he had such a scary look in his eyes!" Gu Jundie spoke, still frightened. Chu Qingxue sneered, "The harder he tries to stop us, the more serious the matter must be. They don’t want me to go, so I insist on going. If you won’t take me, I’ll find my own way there!" Gu Jundie spoke with concern, "President Chu, is this really okay? It’s already so late, and the cultivation base is far outside of the county town. Besides, we cannot guarantee that Shi Lin and Hu Yang won’t play dirty." Chu Qingxue’s eyes shone with determination, "It’s fine, I don’t believe they would dare to do anything to me. Jundie, you stay in the room. I’ll go myself!" "No way, if you’re going, President Chu, we’re going together! I can’t relax if you go alone!" Gu Jundie naturally didn’t want Chu Qingxue to go by herself. "Alright, let’s go together. If something happens, we can at least look out for each other!" Chu Qingxue said. It was after ten o’clock at night when Chu Qingxue and Gu Jundie quietly left the hotel, arrived at the parking lot, and then drove away. "Bro Shi, those two women have left, and it looks like they’re heading to the medicinal herb cultivation base!" the moment Chu Qingxue drove away, a figure emerged from a corner and sneakily called Shi Lin. At this moment, Shi Lin and Hu Yang were in a bathhouse enjoying massages from two busty young women. After receiving the call, a vicious glint flickered in Shi Lin’s eyes, and he murmured to himself, "Chu Qingxue, you’re asking for it, don’t blame me!" Smoking a cigarette, Hu Yang asked with confusion, "What’s up? Did that woman Chu Qingxue make a move?" Shi Lin nodded, "Just as I expected, that woman Chu Qingxue couldn’t contain her curiosity and went to the medicinal herb cultivation base!" "Alright then, if Chu Qingxue had stayed quietly in her hotel tonight, I would have guaranteed not to trouble her at all. But she’s asking for it—big brother, we don’t need to be polite anymore!" Hu Yang said. Shi Lin sneered, "It’s not about being impolite; it’s that we have no other choice. If we let Chu Qingxue reach the medicinal herb cultivation base, I fear all of our dealings will be exposed. Never mind the money we’re talking about—just the lives we’re responsible for are enough to kill us eight times over!"
