Chapter 640 Forcible Occupation
“Don’t rush, let’s talk about it after the project gets going.”
“If the Hong family is truly interested in buying, the company can offer the Hong family ten pre-sale quotas. These quotas can be given to others later.”
Hong San didn’t quite understand Chen Yang’s explanation.
Seeing Hong San’s puzzled look, Chen Yang elaborated, “The villa area here requires a pre-sale qualification. Not just anyone can buy.”
Once Hong San understood, he gasped. Chen Yang’s ambition was quite grand.
The two chatted briefly about the company’s liaison, and then Chen Yang left to discuss his true personal matters.
“Last night, a group of bandits indeed came to Qingzhou City.”
“I received word beforehand and found some friends to handle it, but we didn’t capture all of them. Two managed to escape, and the remaining thirty-odd have been dealt with. Qingzhou City should be safe from any immediate danger.”
Hong San listened, his mind reeling.
Over thirty Grandmasters, and this was just one side?
Did that mean both sides combined were over sixty people?
Chen Yang could actually summon so many Grandmasters…
Hong San suppressed his inner fear and let out a dry laugh, “With you here in Qingzhou City, there will certainly be no danger.”
After Chen Yang left, Hong San realized his back was drenched in sweat.
The Hong family’s butler saw his master sitting on the chair, beads of sweat on his forehead, and rushed over, asking nervously, “Master, what happened?”
Hong San, jolted awake from his shock by the butler, let out a long sigh, “Nothing, nothing. Go find the best construction companies in Qingzhou City, and tell them to bring their foremen when they come.”
Regarding the cooperation with Chen Yang, Hong San dared not be the least bit negligent. He had to arrange everything properly.
Every aspect of this project required a person responsible for life.
Meanwhile, Chen Yang, having left the Hong family, began packing his luggage.
The蠱虫 (gu worm) on Zhuo Haoji was like a thorn in Chen Yang’s heart. He had to find out the relationship between the蛊师 (gu worm master) and the Holy Moon Divine Venerable as soon as possible.
If the two sides were truly cooperating, Chen Yang had to be prepared.
When Liu Ran and Su Ya learned that Chen Yang was preparing to leave, they both came to his office.
“The Zhou family’s platform is about to launch, and you’re leaving now?”
“Exactly, and the villa project you’re personally overseeing is also about to start.”
Neither of them could understand why Chen Yang would leave at such a crucial moment.
Chen Yang chuckled, “I’m sending Zhuque back for a visit. It’ll only take a few days to come back.”
“Sending Zhuque back? No wonder I haven’t seen Zhuque all day.”
“After so long, I’ve never heard Zhuque mention her family. Where is Zhuque from originally?”
Su Ya was quite curious. Why would someone like Zhuque stay by Chen Yang’s side? Could it be that in Zhuque’s heart…
“The Zhu family in the Southwest.” Chen Yang didn’t hide this information.
Moreover, the first stop of this trip to the Southwest was the Zhu family.
“Really! It’s the Zhu family!” Su Ya exclaimed, her voice rising.
Liu Ran, who didn’t know about the Zhu family in the Southwest, could tell from Su Ya’s expression that it must be a very prominent family.
After they saw Chen Yang off, Liu Ran asked Su Ya, “What is the Zhu family in the Southwest? Is it a large family?”
Su Ya hugged Liu Ran and whispered, “The world only knows the Zhou family as the largest, but besides the Zhou family, there are other families who prefer to remain hidden. Their strength and heritage are immense. The Zhu family is one of them.”
“From what I know, the Zhu family was already a powerful family over a thousand years ago. Although there is little news about the Zhou family from the outside, can you believe it? Such a family controls several Fortune 500 companies!”
On the train to the Southwest, Chen Yang saw Zhuque looking a bit downcast. He said helplessly, “It’s your home after all, you have to go back. And I heard your father is ill, you should go see him.”
Zhuque didn’t initially know Chen Yang was taking her back to the Zhu family. She only realized Chen Yang’s intentions after seeing the train tickets on the train.
She didn’t respond to Chen Yang’s words.
However, her expression said it all.
“Think of it as accompanying me on a mission?”
Chen Yang said this as if coaxing a child. Zhuque directly covered her face with her sun hat in protest.
Chen Yang could only close his mouth in resignation.
This was originally Zhuque’s private matter, but after being together for so many years, he could sense her longing for home.
During several near-death experiences, Zhuque had even wished for Chen Yang to go back for her.
But in the past, whenever Chen Yang suggested Zhuque go back, she would always dismiss it with disdain.
Zhuque was good at hiding her feelings, so deep that she wouldn’t express them unless she was on the verge of death.
Now, seizing this opportunity, Chen Yang naturally wouldn’t let it go.
Taking the train back was also Chen Yang’s way of letting Zhuque see the changes in her hometown.
Just as Chen Yang expected, after the train entered the Southwest, Zhuque became significantly more lively.
She even started telling Chen Yang stories about the surrounding area.
Until they got off the train, Zhuque looked at the changes in the station with a deep sadness on her face.
When Zhuque and her mother left the Zhu family back then, they survived by selling dried goods at the station.
Apart from the Heavenly Doctor Hall, the place she was most familiar with was this train station.
“I want to go to Queyun Mountain first.”
Chen Yang nodded. This was Zhuque’s home, so he naturally had to follow her arrangements.
When they got into a taxi and gave the destination, the driver couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Are you two going to Queyun Mountain for a visit? Who recommended it?”
Seeing Zhuque’s brow furrowed, Chen Yang quickly asked, “A friend recommended the place, said the environment is quite good. What’s wrong? Is it too far?”
The driver quickly waved his hand, “It’s not about distance. I make a living driving, I can take you anywhere.”
“It’s just that Queyun Mountain has been having some problems lately!”
“Queyun Mountain was originally a barren hill, but a few years ago, some mysterious person invested a large sum of money and turned a dirt hill into something like a resort.”
“It’s rumored that a rich man’s family member is buried there, but I’m just repeating what others say, I don’t really know the specifics.”
“After the place was renovated, I visited a couple of times. It’s a nice place.”
“But two years ago, I heard someone wanted to mine there. I don’t know what state it’s in now.”
When Zhuque heard the last sentence, her eyes immediately became sharp, “Which company?”
