Chapter 707 Unconvinced
Upon meeting Chen Yang, Zhu Sanqian immediately informed him of He Lingyu's current situation.
"He Lingyu isn't living at the school anymore and is being followed. I initially wanted to drive those people away, but He Lingyu is worried about implicating the Zhu family further..."
Zhu Sanqian felt helpless about the situation. Although Chen Yang hadn't explicitly asked him to look after He Lingyu before leaving, it was an unspoken understanding.
Chen Yang wanted to take over the poverty alleviation project and was investigating the relationship between Old Zhao Tou and the He family. If Zhu Sanqian wasn't foolish, he would naturally keep a close eye on the most crucial person, He Lingyu.
Chen Yang's brow furrowed. "Where is He Lingyu now?"
Liu Ran and Su Ya, who were beside Chen Yang, already knew some things about He Lingyu from him, but they hadn't expected the situation to be this serious.
Zhu Sanqian called the bodyguard he had secretly arranged to stay near He Lingyu. Upon confirming He Lingyu's exact location, he immediately took the three of them to where He Lingyu was staying.
At this moment, He Lingyu heard the commotion outside and felt a sense of unease.
He Lingyu hadn't slept soundly for a while. Those people outside were relentless in their attempts to take covert photos of her.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The moment her door was knocked, He Lingyu jolted awake.
He Lingyu pulled out a dagger she had prepared from under her pillow and asked with a slight tremor in her voice, "Who is it?"
He Lingyu was terrified that the people outside would barge in, but she still trembled as she walked to the door, intending to look through the peephole to see who it was.
"It's me, Zhu Sanqian."
"Chen's younger brother is here too."
Upon hearing these two sentences, He Lingyu immediately relaxed. However, when she opened the door and saw two women following Chen Yang, she was taken aback.
Just then, a flash of light flickered in the distance. He Lingyu's recently relaxed nerves immediately tensed up again.
He Lingyu quickly made way for them and said, "Quick, come in. Someone is taking pictures outside."
Liu Ran and Su Ya also noticed the abnormality in the distance. Su Ya frowned, "What kind of people are these? Chen Yang, can you drive them away?"
Su Ya, who was in charge of public relations at Yangyangyang Company, was very sensitive to such matters.
During the competition with the Zhou family's team, Yangyangyang Company had been constantly hounded by reporters, and Chen Yang's security team had to drive many of them away daily.
Although Zhu Sanqian didn't know who this Su Ya was, he hesitantly chimed in, "The media in the southwestern region are backed by various families. If you drive one group away, another will return."
"I've already told these reporters not to get too close."
Although Zhu Sanqian was from the Zhu family, he couldn't represent the entire family, so this was all he could do.
Chen Yang locked the door and looked around the empty room, frowning. "When did you move here?"
He Lingyu understood what Chen Yang meant and showed a wry smile. "I just moved in a few days ago. I haven't had time to move my things from the school."
"Why are you back? I heard from Big Brother Sanqian that you went to Nanlong. Have things been settled?"
Chen Yang nodded. "I intended to come back last night. Let me introduce you to Ms. Liu Ran, the big boss of Yangyangyang Company, and Ms. Su Ya, the company's vice president. I invited them here mainly to discuss the poverty alleviation project for the village with you."
As he spoke, Chen Yang pulled back the curtains and looked outside. Seeing the flashes of light, he couldn't help but frown. "It seems that the first thing we need to solve is your problem."
"Southwest Academy has already shut down your laboratory. Why don't you come back with us? Yangyangyang Company also has its own laboratory, and we're in need of talent like you."
Faced with Chen Yang's invitation, He Lingyu couldn't say no.
If it weren't for the people in the village, she wouldn't have stayed in the southwest.
However, He Lingyu still voiced her concerns, "At least until the village matters are handled. I promised them."
He Lingyu's feelings for the villagers were evident, especially for Old Zhao Tou.
He Lingyu couldn't possibly leave the southwest without saying a word.
"Alright, we'll do as you say."
Chen Yang didn't plan to linger there and intended to take everyone to the village to see the actual situation.
But as the group emerged, facing the photographers taking pictures from afar, Chen Yang could no longer hold back.
Chen Yang said in a low voice, "You all get in the car first. I'll handle this."
Seeing Chen Yang's actions, Zhu Sanqian was about to stop him. But suddenly recalling Chen Yang's strength, he could only helplessly remind him, "Don't cause any deaths."
Chen Yang, who had already taken a few steps, heard this and waved his hand, "Don't worry."
Several reporters who were taking clandestine photos immediately perked up when they saw Chen Yang approaching them.
He Lingyu was currently the queen of traffic in the southwest, and anything related to her would immediately attract widespread attention.
Now, with the sudden appearance of this man, they naturally couldn't let him escape their pens.
Everyone immediately took out their phones, preparing to capture a close-up of Chen Yang.
But the moment they pressed the shutter, Chen Yang in the frame had already vanished.
As they all wondered where Chen Yang had gone, an unfamiliar voice sounded behind them.
"Having fun taking pictures?"
The group reacted instantly and looked behind them. When they saw the man from the frame appearing behind them, cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads.
That distance, at least dozens of meters.
And they were currently on the second floor of a residential building.
Did this guy possess the ability to scale walls and leap over roofs?
"You... are you human or ghost?"
Chen Yang didn't answer the question. Instead, he walked up to one of the men in two steps, took his camera, and began deleting the photos. "Zhu Sanqian is a member of the Zhu family. For his sake, I'll let you off this time. If I see you again..."
Chen Yang stomped on a nearby loose brick, crushing it into dust.
"You'd better weigh whether your heads are as hard as this thing."
Everyone was startled by Chen Yang's actions. As Chen Yang took their cameras one by one and deleted the photos, no one dared to say a word.
By the time Chen Yang left, everyone was heartbroken looking at the empty storage cards.
They had finally gotten a big scoop, only to have it deleted like this.
However, some people quickly reacted and said, "No photos, we can draw!"
