Chapter 684 The Fox's Tale of Gratitude

Ye Tian smiled and said, "I've just taken over as the Abbot."

Qian Min was still shaken. She asked, "Ye Tian, who were those people you caught just now?"

Ye Tian replied, "People from the martial world. But don't worry, I've chased them away."

Miao Qiu immediately flattered him, "Let me tell you, being the Abbot is just a minor role for Ye Tian Ge. He's actually the boss of Baozhi Company."

Everyone was shocked. Baozhi Company! Was that the company that produced the wildly popular skincare products?

Seeing their astonished faces, Miao Qiu felt a sense of satisfaction. "That's right, it's Baozhi."

Qian Min's feelings became complicated. He was the boss of Baozhi, which meant he was worth at least tens of billions. How could she possibly be worthy of such a person?

When she thought Ye Tian's status was not up to her standards, Qian Min suppressed her true feelings. But when she realized she was actually not good enough for him, her inner thoughts became incredibly complex and hard to express.

A girl asked, "Brother Ye Tian, I heard Baozhi Company is going public. How much will its market value be after listing?"

Ye Tian was quite proud of his company. He smiled and said, "The company's profit this year should exceed sixty billion, and its market value could potentially reach one trillion."

Everyone stopped chewing. One trillion! Good heavens, wouldn't Ye Tian become a billionaire with that kind of valuation?

Xia Lei was also surprised. "Brother Ye Tian, you're a rich man!"

Ye Tian smiled and said, "Market value is just a number."

The male teacher who was pursuing Qian Min was filled with admiration for Ye Tian. "Boss Ye, you're underestimating your company's value. If the price-to-earnings ratio is higher and the company's prospects are good enough, your company could even break three trillion!"

Once his identity was revealed, everyone had endless questions. Fearing they might feel uncomfortable, Ye Tian excused himself shortly after.

His mind wasn't on the camping trip. He had gone down the mountain earlier and found out the reason those people were in the vicinity. They had heard rumors that a family with a terminal illness had a youngest son who went up the mountain and picked some small red berries, which he brought home for his mother. After eating the berries, the mother's terminal illness miraculously disappeared. Da Feng Novel Network.

When the youngest son went up the mountain again to find the berries, he couldn't find the path he had taken before. It turned out that the first time he went up, he was guided by a red-furred fox. When he went alone, he couldn't find the berries.

According to the youngest son, he had saved an injured red-furred fox a few years ago. The fox's front paw was broken, and it had run out from the nearby bushes to seek his help.

Being kind-hearted, the man took the red fox to a veterinary clinic for bandaging and treatment, fed it for a while, and then returned it to the mountain. After that, the red fox would occasionally bring him dead pheasants and rabbits.

This group of people had heard about this incident and came specifically to inquire about the situation from the patient's family. However, the red fox had not appeared since then, so they could only search the mountain.

This made Ye Tian realize that the mountain was far from ordinary.

On a large rock at the summit, Ye Tian stood observing his surroundings. Chen Hui walked over and asked, "What did that person say?"

Ye Tian recounted the story of the fox repaying kindness. Chen Hui sneered upon hearing it, "That family isn't telling the truth!"

Ye Tian was taken aback. "They aren't telling the truth? How are you so sure?"

Chen Hui replied, "Legends of foxes repaying kindness are common among the folk, and it's not impossible. However, if a fox could find such berries and was so intelligent, it wouldn't need anyone to help it heal its injuries. It would only need to eat some of those berries, and its wounds would recover."

Ye Tian nodded. "Your analysis is very reasonable. It seems we need to meet this person."

Chen Hui asked, "Did you find out where this person lives?"

"He lives at the foot of the mountain."

Just then, Ye Tian faintly heard screams coming from the opposite mountain. He said, "Wait for me here." With that, he leaped into the darkness and disappeared.

He quickly crossed the opposite mountain and followed the sound to a patch of wild bamboo. Inside the bamboo grove, a young man, not yet twenty years old, lay on the ground, covered in blood and on the verge of death.

Ye Tian went forward to examine him, quickly stopped the bleeding, treated his wounds, and then asked, "What injured you?"

In the darkness, the man couldn't see Ye Tian's face clearly. He suddenly cried out, "I was too greedy. It's all my fault, boohoo..."
