157: Chapter 157: Gu Family Mining Group 157: Chapter 157: Gu Family Mining Group Looking at Heipi, who was usually so arrogantly unrestrained, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh at his current expression.

“There must have been some action that provoked the wolves, otherwise, they definitely wouldn’t have fought you so desperately,” Chen Yang said.

Heipi fell silent for a moment, then eventually shook his head, “Maybe so, I don’t know what I did to irritate those wolves.”

As he said this, Heipi was about to close his eyes to rest.

At this moment, the younger brother who had called Chen Yang ‘Yang Bro’ earlier, suddenly stepped forward.

“Brother Hei, are we still going up the mountain today to look for that place?”

The younger brother suddenly asked, prompting Heipi to open his eyes again.

After a long silence, he decisively nodded, “You guys should go up the mountain again today!

After all, the payment they’re offering is not small!”

“But…” Hearing that they were to go up the mountain again, the younger brother’s expression started to look very unpleasant.

Heipi seemed to have seen through the younger brother’s thoughts, so he followed up quickly, “This time take some weapons with you, and bring my shotgun as well, that should do it.”

“No matter how fierce the wolves are, they’re just a pack of beasts, you guys will be fine with so many people.”

With these words from Heipi, the faces of the younger brothers looked somewhat better.

“Okay…” The younger brothers nodded in unison.

“Mhm, go ahead.”

Heipi also nodded, then his followers all left Chen Yang’s clinic.

Chen Yang had been standing by while Heipi talked with his subordinates.

Listening to the exchange between Heipi and his subordinates, Chen Yang couldn’t help but become curious, so after the subordinates had all left, Chen Yang couldn’t resist asking, “Heipi, what are you looking for in the mountains?

You got bitten by wolves just yesterday and you’re going up again today?”

Heipi seemed to have anticipated Chen Yang’s curious question, so he answered without any hesitation.

“We’re searching for a place with unusual geological features.

I’ve been entrusted by someone to find it, and the commission they’re offering is so generous that none of us can refuse,” Heipi said with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Chen Yang grew even more curious.

“How much are they paying you to risk your life like this?”

Seeing Chen Yang ask this, a look of pride suddenly appeared on Heipi’s face.

He smiled lightly and then said, “As long as we find the place they described, they will pay us a commission of one million!”

Hiss.

Nizi, standing behind Chen Yang, was taken aback and couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

Even Chen Yang himself looked startled, quite surprised.

In his mind, he wondered what place could be worth so much money that finding it would result in a commission of one million?

“Now you see why I’m willing to go to such lengths, right?”

Sensing the surprise on Chen Yang and Nizi’s faces, Heipi’s smug smile deepened.

Chen Yang was quite taken aback, then couldn’t help but voice his thoughts.

“What kind of place are you looking for that just finding it would get you one million?” Chen Yang asked in amazement.

At this question, Heipi hesitated for a moment, and then gave an awkward laugh before saying, “Chen Yang, as for what place it is, I’m not at liberty to disclose that, after all, it’s a secret among me and my brothers.”

“However, from what I understand, the place our employer wants us to find is likely a vein of some sort, but as for what kind of vein, I have no idea,” Heipi said with an earnest look.

Hearing Heipi’s words, Chen Yang began to feel some goodwill towards the man.

“So that’s how it is.” Chen Yang nodded lightly, then didn’t pursue the subject any further.

“Yeah!

If it weren’t for that one million, I wouldn’t be so persistent, right?

I was bitten like this, yet I still send my brothers into the mountains,” Heipi said with a somewhat dim expression.

“Yeah, that’s true, but that one million doesn’t seem so easy to grab,” Chen Yang replied.

Heipi nodded, then sighed deeply towards the ceiling, “Indeed, it’s not easy to obtain.

My brothers and I have been roaming the mountain for nearly half a month, but we’ve found nothing.”

“Hehe.”

Watching Heipi’s helpless expression, Chen Yang chuckled, then casually asked, “Hey, speaking of which, who’s your employer?

Our county town doesn’t seem to have any big mining companies, right?”

Heipi shifted his gaze and nodded, “That’s right, our county town indeed doesn’t have any mining companies.

However, my employer is from the provincial capital, a big tycoon there called the Gu Family Mining Group!”

“The Gu Family?”

Chen Yang suddenly widened his eyes.

Chen Yang’s abrupt reaction caused Heipi, who was lying on the bed, to pause slightly.

“Yes…

the Gu Family…

What’s the matter, Chen Yang?

Do you know about the Gu Family?” Heipi asked, full of surprise.

“I’ve…

had some understanding!” Chen Yang was shocked for a moment, then gradually calmed himself down before answering.

With Chen Yang back to normal, Heipi didn’t think much of it.

He simply assumed that Chen Yang was only familiar with the Gu Family’s intentions for coming here to mine and was just a bit surprised.

After talking about the Gu Family for a while, Chen Yang brought up Fu Deyou with Heipi.

Grateful for Chen Yang’s life-saving grace, Heipi essentially told Chen Yang all he knew.

From Heipi, Chen Yang found out:

Fu Deyou’s younger brother was named Fu Deren.

In the early years, he used to hang around the county town with Heipi.

Back then, when public security wasn’t very good, the two made quite a name for themselves in the town.

But as social order gradually improved over time, a simpler-minded man like Heipi obviously couldn’t keep up and so returned to the mountains, making a living by trekking through them.

However, Fu Deren was shrewd, cold, and ruthless, willing to do anything, which allowed him to stay in the county town.

Eventually, he even came into a windfall and had a gang of thugs at his disposal, becoming a big figure in the local underworld.

Knowing all this, Chen Yang now had some understanding of Fu Deren.

“Do you know how they’re planning to get back at me?” Chen Yang continued to inquire.

Heipi shook his head, “I have no idea about that.

I refused Fu Deyou’s request, and after that, he didn’t say much and just left.”

“But knowing Fu Deren as I do, he’ll surely resort to hiring someone to deal with you, so you’d better carry some protective stuff when you go out during this period,” Heipi advised earnestly.

“Got it, I’ll be careful.

You should rest well for now.”

After grasping the situation, the two ended their conversation.

Chen Yang, with Xiaoxiao, left the hospital ward and sat in the medical hall.

Xiaoxiao had been beside Chen Yang while he spoke with Heipi, so as soon as they stepped out of the ward, she couldn’t help but worry for Chen Yang.

“Chen Yang bro…

What are we going to do, Fu Deren is from the underworld, and now he’s got his sights on you…” Xiaoxiao spoke with a worried face.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang smiled nonchalantly.

Then he turned and wrapped his arms around Xiaoxiao’s waist effortlessly.

“Xiaoxiao, you’ve seen my skills.

I’ll be fine,” he reassured her.

Suddenly embraced by Chen Yang in the medical hall, Xiaoxiao was like a startled bird, face flushed with panic.

“Chen Yang bro…

It’s broad daylight, it would be so embarrassing to be seen like this,” Xiaoxiao said with her face turning crimson.

Chen Yang just chuckled without saying a word.

But he made no move to let go of Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao fidgeted in a token struggle, but ultimately gave up resisting and leaned into Chen Yang’s chest.

“Don’t worry, Xiaoxiao, I won’t let anything happen.

It’s just Fu Deren, nothing to be afraid of,” Chen Yang comforted, holding her close.

Xiaoxiao nodded her head against his chest.

She had unconditional trust in Chen Yang.

If Chen Yang said he could handle Fu Deren, then he definitely could.
